Struggle Of Powers

[Jake the Sage]

Corey nodded his head and then pointed to himself, "That is where I come in. I can make them think the power level is reading low. So we can easily sneak in."

[-Genesis-]

Kallen stood up stretching, "I guess so. I mean we only have two options."

 

Todou looked to Destined, "You don't understand, as a slave, we can't fight them at all. If you do then you'd have to retreat because the plan would fail. And they'd count me out simply because of my age, whether or not I could perform the duties."

 

Akima shook his head, "As Kallen said, we don't have many options so it seems we've agreed. But how is your grandaughter to be a part of this?"

[Jake the Sage]

Desinted laughed and then said something everyone was completely ignoring, "We already have forces on the inside. Or have you all forgotten?"

 

Koya stared at Destined wondering what he was talking about. Then Destined said that the slaves they already had could add to whatever army had infiltrated and they would instantly double, if not triple their forces. Hearing Akima he waved his hand and looked away as if not very interested, "I say let her get killed. I don't care."

 

"Boss! Why not allow her to infiltrate from her way so that we cover both our bases?" Kyba stated and, naturally, Darren added in a 'Yeah'. Scolwing at them Destined merely shrugged his shoulders and sighed, "Whatever . . ."

 

"So is its agreed," The Northern General said then answered Black, "She can manipulate the water and make it a pathway . . . so she could get there in a day- to further the plan."

[DragonJLB]

" Well if your all going to be slave's....Who's going to profit from your sale's." Josh said flooting above them.

[Freeman The Master]

"All right since we have this all planed out then. We will need volunteers will we n..." He paused for a moment starting to studier under his own words. He managed to get him self out of it though and focus back on track. "Will we not?" He sighed with a slight pain his voice as he did. "So whose going where and whose doing what?"

[Blake]

Black nodded to the general to thank him, then spoke. "I will go with the 'Captured' party. I can warp out of harms way. I say we take someone who can nullify our power level, and make us seem weak, save Destined." He got his entire mind out. "So it'll be me, and who else?" He askeed the crowd.

[-Genesis-]

Akima smirked over at Destined, "So let me get this straight, you're saying that we should let Kyou, probably the strongest offensive super on our side, die. Wow, you're quite smart." He burst out laughing, "She's stronger than you are! Why would we let her die?" Then he turned to the General, "Should we have her commit her plan as well, it will take longer so with her in place if our plan fails she could succeed."

 

Kallen turned away and walked off toward the door. Calling back she said, "Well just make a decision, I'll be getting some fresh air while you all decide."

 

Aya had walked over to Cougar and Natalie quietly and asked them what would happen to her if she was left behind. Natalie chuckled, "Well I think that Mitch could help you gain better control of your power, but you'd have to ask him." Aya nodded and walked past her seat and to Mitch. She tapped him on the arm to get his attention.

[Freeman The Master]

Eden was a nerves wreck and would probably blow it for the group that went as the Slaves. "Well if were going to do Kyou's plane witch would probably work better. , Then me and Lee can go as Escort for her. If she needs one of course."

[Jake the Sage]

The General smiled and nodded his head, "Then both plans it will be. We need volunteers for both teams. However Lora and Aya will nto be allowed to participate."

 

Lora just shrugged her shoulder, thoughts of training with Mitch floating through her head and the day dreams of becoming even stronger. Koya stepped forward and noted that he'd go with the slave group, along with Yaming. Moka and Sky however stated that they would rather go along with Kyou and her group, not wanting to end up doing something that will get them busted.

 

On the other hand Destined, Black and their small group was, suprisingly, all for getting captured; as long as Corey would be going along. As they all made choices on who would go where Mitch looked over to see Aya tapping him and smiled, "Yes young lass?"

[-Genesis-]

Akima smiled, "Well then I'll go with the slave group because there's no guarentee that we'll all get to the right place, so th more of us there are the better chance we have. Also with her arm Kallen will never be able to pull off the slave act so I say she goes with Kyou."

 

Cougar smiled and stood, "If you are taking the rebel leader with you on your slave plan you'd need someone to command the rebels for Kyou's plan so I'll do that, along with Natalie of course."

 

Aya blushed at Mitch's kindness since she wasn't used to such kindness. And she stuttered over her words, "D-do you th-think that y-you c-could help m-m-me control m-my p-p-power better w-while they're g-gone?"

[Jake the Sage]

"So we have everyone's position, good. Tomorrow you will all head off for the Southern Rebels and tell them the situation. I have no doubt he will like the idea." the Northern General said finishing the apple.

 

"Of course I can," Mitch said and smiled at her, enjoying some of ehr emberressment, "Will that be alright?"

[-Genesis-]

Aya nodded shyly, "Ah-huh." She scurried over to grab onto Lora and whispered, "I'm sorry that we're staying, I know you don't want to, but thank you."

 

Akima sat back and nodded, "Yep, I guess we are. Also someone needs to tell Kallen and Kyou, whereever she went." He smiled to himself, not only were they going forward with probably the most reckless plan possible other than charging directly in, but they planned to take down the entire southern area in a matter of days. Rediculous.

[Jake the Sage]

"Then lets go get them," Corey said pushing at Akima. Making him walk Corey wasn't trying to read his mind and just wanted to see what would come of it, "COme on what are you waiting for?"

 

Everyone had spread it out and then finally Lora and Aya found themselves in their very own grand room. Now away from everyone else Lora couldn't keep her excitment shut in anymore. "Yes! I can't believe I am being trained by a Legendary!!!"

[Freeman The Master]

Ohh good, a rest maybe this will calm me down a little bit. Eden sighed at he started to get more and more tired and probably more unstable. "Wel..." He paused for a moment. "Well I will try to find her and if I do I will tell her." He paused starched a little bit by tensing his body but not trying to be to rude. "If I see her I will tell her. But if where done I am going to take a nap." Eden said as he started to rub his forehead as he got up.

[-Genesis-]

Aya was confused, "Huh? You too?" she sat down on one of the beds, puzzled.

 

Akima was smiling as Corey pushed him along, "Hey, what the heck are you doing? Where are we going?"

 

Cougar and Natalie walked off to their own room, but before they did so they caught ahold of Mitch, "We recomend that you have one guard keep an eye on each of Lora and Aya."

 

Kallen was out in the courtyard practicing her combat form.

 

Kyou was sitting on the roof looking over the city at the distant mountains, *I guess it'll be a while until I go back. Hopefully it's not a waste of my time.

[Blake]

Black tightened his trenchcoat. "Stupid snow..." He mumbled, before he spotted a steeple. He thought. He warped up to it, back against it, and began to pull out a book. Before the motion was over, he stopped. He lit his hands on fire, visible from the mountains, and warmed himself up. THEN he pulled out the book and began to read.

[Jake the Sage]

"We are going to find Kallen and, if we have too, Kyou." he explained as he began to pull Akima. Yaming had began to follow them merely because she didn't know her way around the building. Passing by Cougar and Natalie as they walked off to their own room, they continued on their way. Stopping in front of their door Cougar saw Mitch and caught his attention, "Sir, we recomend that you have one guard keep an eye on each of Lora and Aya."

 

"Ah . . . I wouldn't worry about them," he said with a smile, "I've already taken care of it. Believe me . . . they won't want to leave."

[Final Fantasy Revolution]

Braun coughed at the ideas and let all know that he would like to speak now. The group graced him with silence for the moment. "Let us split the group up now. As far as I could tell we need three groups now; Rebel Meeting Group, Government Treaty Group, and the Slave group. Our Special Ops members and the Kings Assassination Squad members should go in the party that will speak with the rebels. I should accompany the Treaty group as a representative from the north. Who else wants to go where?" Braun said to the rest of the group.

[Freeman The Master]

As Eden left the 'meeting' room he fully knew what was going to happen and who he was going with. All he had to do is wait and what is a perfect opportunity to is to rest for the remaining time. But something was wrong with Eden and fortunately only Lee knew what was wrong. but being as obedient as he is he did not say a word to Eden intill they where alone. As they both walked outside to the walk way in this Military Complex to the resting areas Lee finally spoke up.

"There is something wrong with you Eden." Eden paused for a moment just by the shock of it, he looked back and faced Lee. "I did not want to upset the others or you, but there is something wrong."

Eden Snapped was furious at this point. "There is nothing wro... Wro..." HE paused for a moment as another volt of electricity ran though his spine causing him to shiver in the experience of it. He cracked his neck and continued where he left off. "Nothing is wrong with me. I just need some rest."

Lee just looked at him with a cold dead stare. "Your power levels are rising. I am not blind I was built for this."

Eden just stared at Lee. "I know but more power the better. The more to help the others, its just simple. Now..." He paused for a moment trying not to trip over his own words again. "I just need some rest." Eden finally said as he brought his foot down on this subject and walked off. But as he did not knowing to him self a slight jolt of Radiation came off of Eden and completely blackened a small patch of Grass that was planted next to the concrete path way. But with Eden knowing let alone carrying he walked on to his bed that awaited him, for some rest he figured that would help. But as he walked he started to tap his pant's lags in a rhythmic patter. *tap.tap.tap.tap.**pause**tap.tap.tap.tap.* over and over again, never ending to him.

[-Genesis-]

Kallen had put on a training helmet. It allowed her to see and hear virtual enemies for her to fight, but they made it so that she couldn't see the actual people around her. As Akima and Corey went looking for Kallen and Kyou, Akima saw Kallen fighting invisible enemies and noticed the helmet. "Corey we really shouldn't get anywhere near her right now. She's using a training helmet, she can't see or hear us, she may attack us accidentally."

 

Outside in the courtyard Cougar took of his shirt and laid back on the grass. Natalie walked over to him and gasped, "What happened to you?" She knelt down and brushed her hands over marks grooved into Cougars skin. Cougar frowned, "Please don't worry about it, it's just a side effect of my Altar Power. Don't worry about it." He couldn't meet her eyes, he looked of into space thinking, *The more I use the full body suit the closer I become to becoming a Zetsuei. And I can't let that happen, not with all my friends around me. I won't let it happen!* With that he relaxed as Natalie laid beside him, "Will they go away?" Cougar shook his head as he lied to her, "I'm really not sure, but let's not worry about it now."

 

Aya sat down on one of the beds in their room, "Wait, so Mitch is going to train you too?" She was confused, how was he supposed to train them both effectively in only a week.

 

Kyou was sitting on the roof with her eyes closed watching the fortress with the 'other sense' she felt that one person's powers were increasing, but were becoming unstable, whereas another's power was increasing, but changing. It was odd, this group was like nothing she had ever seen. They didn't even seem to have reached their full powers yet. It was amazing to her. She'd never before felt so much power in one place before, not since her battle with the Angel of the West.

 

Todou was sitting in his workshop, a room that was almost as large as the main hall had been, but much more cluttered. It was full of gadgets and technology, the like of which had never been seen before. No one ever took anything out of the workroom without his permission, because no one ever knew what the things did, except him. He was working on his newest weapon, so far it worked, but could only fire a single shot. He planned to finish it by the time everyone returned from the South so that they could use it against the West. It was going to be the greatest non-biological weapon in the world, and he knew that he'd have to equip it with a fail-safe so that no one else could use it. It was a weapon that he couldn't trust to anyone, but himself.

[Jake the Sage]

Todou had been sitting in his workshop, a room that was almost as large as the main hall had been, but much more cluttered when a knock was heard at the door.Leaining over to see that it was Koya in the window he got up and opened the door; Koya waved and gave a smile, "So what are you up to?"

 

"Corey we really shouldn't get anywhere near her right now. She's using a training helmet, she can't see or hear us, and she may attack us accidentally,"Akima said as they saw Kallen fighting invisible enemies. She had put on a training helmet, which allowed her to see and hear virtual enemies for her to fight, but they made it so that she couldn't see the actual people around her. Smirking Corey patted Akima on the shoulder and took a step forward, "You have no idea . . . this'll be a piece of cake."

 

Walking right up to Kallen as she struck out at the invisible enemies Corey ducked, side stepped and dodged by using his powers and never got hit. He would try to turn off the helmet, but would have to step back when she struck towards his head. While Corey almost "danced" with Kallen to get her attention Natalie was begining to worry about Cougar as she ran her hands over the marks on his chest, "Will they go away?"

 

"I'm really not sure, but let's not worry about it now."

 

"Something wrong Eden?" Lee questioned innocently, having sensed his creator's uneven energy levels, caused Eden to pause for a moment just by the shock of it.

 

"There is nothing wro-Wro," he started but was forced to stop when another volt of electricity ran though his spine causing him to shiver in the experience of it, "Nothing is wrong with me. I just need some rest . . ."

 

"You not acting right. I sense too much power, master."

 

"I know, but more power the better. The more to help the others, its just simple. Now," he paused for a moment trying not to trip over his own words again, "I just need some rest."

 

Walking off a slight jolt of Radiation came off of Eden and completely blackened a small patch of grass that was planted next to the concrete path way. But with Eden knowing let alone carrying he walked on to his bed that awaited him, for some rest he figured that would help. Seeing this Kyou sighed while she sat on the roof with her eyes closed. Sensing that one person's powers were increasing, but were becoming unstable, whereas another's power was increasing, but changing. "Its odd . . . this group was like nothing I've ever seen. They don't even seem to have reached their full powers yet. I've never before felt so much power in one place before, not since her battle with the Angel of the West."

 

Everyone had spread it out and then finally Lora and Aya found themselves in their very own grand room. Now away from everyone else Lora couldn't keep her excitment shut in anymore. "Yes! I can't believe I am being trained by a Legendary!!!"

 

"Wait, so Mitch is going to train you too?" Aya asked confused as she sat down on one of the beds in their room. "How was he supposed to train them both effectively in only a week?"

 

"Hu? You mean he's going to train you too? Well at least I'll have a partner," Lora asked and then smiled at the thought of training with her best friend.

[-Genesis-]

Todou tried to evade the question, "Oh nothing, just working on some new things." he closed the door and backed up into his workplace. He pushed the weapon aside and pulled a small discus casing with an armplate infront of him.

 

Unfortunately for Corey the helmet's outer camera scanned him and created and enemy on Kallen's screen exactly where Corey was and made it move like him. Essentially it was pitting her against Corey. She smiled as he moved much faster than the other virtual enemies, she struck out at him with her RWS claw and the brought her right leg up to follow it for a double hit along his left side.

 

Akima sat back and waited to see how Corey was going to stop Kallen and then realized from her movements that the helmet had scanned him and set her against him, "Corey wait!"

 

Cougar and Natalie laid in the grass together simply enjoying the peace.

 

Kyou stood up from her perch on the top of the roof of the main hall, making her a silhouette against the sun as she looked out over the fortress. *Yes these supers will make for an interesting war.*

 

Aya nodded, "I hope that I'll be able to control my book better, half the time it acts out on it's own." She smiled at the thought and then her notebook floated out of her bag and into the center of the room, "Oh not again!"

[Jake the Sage]

Akima sat back and waited to see how Corey was going to stop Kallen and then realized from her movements that the helmet had scanned him and set her against him, "Corey wait!"

 

"Don't worry! I got this," Corey yelled back as she struck out at him with her RWS claw and the brought her right leg up to follow it for a double hit along his left side. He would either dodge or put up a forcefield as he almost "danced" in an attempt to stop the helmet. Creating a pair of scissors with his powers Corey moved them behind and tried Kallen's head.

 

 

Aya nodded, "I hope that I'll be able to control my book better, half the time it acts out on it's own." She smiled at the thought and then her notebook floated out of her bag and into the center of the room, "Oh not again!"

 

"What's it doing?"

 

"Oh nothing . . . just working on some new things," Todou said as he tried to evade the question; closing the door and then backed back up into his workplace. He pushed the weapon aside and pulled a small discus casing with an armplate infront of him. Koya shook his head and reached for the weapon Todou had tried to hide. Holding it in his hand he placed it in front of Todou.

 

"Oh come on Todou, there isn't any reason to lie to me. We are on the same side, remember?"

[-Genesis-]

Kallen felt the powers of a super radiating from her opponent and backed off. She took off the helmet only to see Corey standing where her virtual enemy was, "I knew something was wrong, my opponent's in the system don't move as fast as you do. So what do you want?" She held the helmet in her right 'hand' and had her left hand on her hip.

 

Lora shook her head, "I really don't know but it looks like it's going to predict something this time." Suddenly the notebook opened up and writing started to appear, "And the Great Angel fought with the Ice Princess over the great fight for freedom, the oppressors against the rebels. One rebel separated from the rest to try and help the Ice Princess, but as he tried to protect her the Great Angel's blade pierced his body. But because the rebel intercepted the blade it couldn't reach the Ice Princess. The rebel had protected her but may have just cost himself his own life. The Great Angel flicked his blade sending the rebel off the blade and throwing him skyward, the Great Angel followed him up and stabbed him through several times before throwing him to the earth with another swing of the blade. The rebel laid in the ruins of the meeting room bleed profusely unable to even come up to his knees. The Great Angel then dived from the air, to strike a final blow on the rebel who had interfered." Aya looked at the story, "Huh? This doesn't make sense, who are they?" She started yelling at the book, "Why can't you use their names!"

 

Todou glared at Koya, "Fine, but be careful you almost set it off. And you cannot tell any of the others. Not even Mitch or the General. It's a weapon of massive power a single shot could blast a gaping hole in even the outer walls of this fortress. The only issue is that so far it can only fire a single shot."

[Jake the Sage]

Hearing Aya read the story out loud she couldn't help but giggle when she shook the notebook in anger and yelled why it couldn't use names. Waiting for her to calm down Lora thought about it and then got an idea, "Why not go ask Mitch or the General about it."

 

"I knew something was wrong, my opponent's in the system don't move as fast as you do. So what do you want?" She held the helmet in her right 'hand' and had her left hand on her hip. Corey laughed and then motioned for Akima to come over.

 

"To be honest it was Akima who wanted to talk to you."

 

Todou glared at Koya, "Fine, but be careful you almost set it off. And you cannot tell any of the others. Not even Mitch or the General. It's a weapon of massive power a single shot could blast a gaping hole in even the outer walls of this fortress. The only issue is that so far it can only fire a single shot."

 

Easily setting the weapon down Koya laughed uneasily and then put his hands in his pockets, "Very dangerous. Got it. No need to gets so snappy at me by the way . . ."
