Struggle Of Powers

[-Genesis-]

Kyou's turned angry and the water in the room instantaneously turned into ice spires. "You're lying to me, I'm trying to help you!" She realized that she might be scaring him and turned the ice back to water and made sure that it went back into the water path that trailed all throughout her quarters. She relaxed before continuing, "I can feel you power fluctuating, as you stopped. Something is causing you pain and it's interfering with your normal functions. It's why you bumped into me before." Kyou smiled at him and shook her head, "If you won't tell me and let me help you then I'll have to declare you unfit for action and you will be left behind when we leave for the South." The look in her eyes told him that she was dead serious about her threat.

[Blake]

Black finally got bored of waiting for a Showdown, and warped off. Following Kyou was his path of choice. This female amused him, and he was generally not attracted to women. He wasn't attracted to anyone really, and he was not gay, he just did not want companionship. That, and women generally flaunted themselves in an annoying manner. He would watch her. He needed his powers back after all.

[Freeman The Master]

Eden sunk in a little as he saw Kyou's anger at him. He started to shack in his own pants with not Lee here to back him up. Without him hes nothing really, let alone to this legendary Worrier. "Okay fi...fi...fine, I...I...I...I don't really know whats going on with me. I feel." He paused for a moment as a somewhat stronger shock ran though his body this time spreading out a little bit making him shiver. "I don't know what I feel." He started to rube his hands over his forehead in stress as he was talking to Kyou. "Lee has been telling me that for some odd reason that of late my Radiation levels are increasing. But I can keep it under control. I have been looking after myself and so far I have been able to keep the Radiation contained and its level rate to a minimum. I am fine to go on this mission."

[-Genesis-]

Kyou shook her head at Eden's excuse. "You fool, you keep losing control temporarily. What if that were to happen in a fight, and your friend Lee couldn't help you... you'd be dead!" She slipped of the bed and went to the water path on the floor. Kyou created a glass out of ice and scooped up some of the water into it. "This is a special water from a pure spring in the mountains, it should be able to help you, or at least slow down whatever is happening to you. It will also make it so that your 'pauses' will happen less." She brought the glass up to him and smiling kindly, offered it to him, "Woul you like to drink it or would you like me to help you?"

[Freeman The Master]

The insult that she gave Eden was insulting. Sure Lee was a grate deal of help but he could live and survive without him, or at least his pride thought, but he did not dare show it. He did not want her to get any angrier then she all ready is, so he just submitted to it. He shock his head. "I don't know what you or what water can do for me but fine." He said as he took the drink for Kyou's hand, but once the glass touched Eden's it started to heat up and melt sending down a small drop from the glass hit the ground. But before it let another one drop he drank it all and gave it to her. "Best water I tasted. Better then that Irradiated Water, in the wastes."

[-Genesis-]

Kyou smiled, "Of course, this water is the purest int the world. It can actually heal wounds." She walked over to her desk and wrote down something before walking back to him, "Also I think you misunderstood what I meant before. I meant that if Lee was busy and you had one of your 'episodes' and couldn't control yourself during a fight you'd be killed." Kyou pulled a cloth out of her pocket and wiped up the drop on the floor. "How do you feel now?"

[Freeman The Master]

Eden paused for a moment, thinking over her own words. He let the water sink in, for a moment nothing, and nothing. After a moment or two a small volt ran though his body as it all ways dose now a days. But it was not as bad, but something was odd. "I guess I feel a... A little Hungary I guess. For the oddest resin I just got this hunger now."

[-Genesis-]

Kyou smiled at him, "Alright then I'll get you some food, but stay here! Also... I meant are you still in pain and phasing-out?" With that she disappeared inside another flower made of ice, but now that Eden was on the outside all the visible detail and beauty was visible.

 

The flower appeared near the kitchens and Kyou stepped out of it and into the kitchen. Immediately one of the cooks ran up to her and smiled at her, "My Lady Kyou, I had heard that you were back and made you a special treat, and I must say..." Kyou put a finger to his lips to quiet him, "Chef Farcius, I'm not here for myself. I've just tended to a man and now he says that he is hungry. I left him in my room, could you send someone ther to ask him what he would like? I must find a friend of his." Chef Farcius beamed, "Of course milady I'll send someone immediately and make the food myself." Kyou nodded her gratitude, "Thank you, also would you have your man tell him that he is not to leave my room. I have very little need for it and that I'll be sending his friend Lee up ther to see him soon." Again the Chef agreed and with that done Kyou walked out of the kitchen, and created another flower. She reappeared in the grounds and saw Lee not far away, "Lee, can you come here? I need to talk to you about Eden."

 

Chef Farcius sent his apprentice up to Kyou's room as soon as she'd left and soon there was a knock at the door, "Hello? This is Hitosi, I was sent here by Lady Kyou. May I come in?"

[Freeman The Master]

As Lee was walking the grounds searching for Lee in a cold dead scan as he always dose. He hired his name being called but it wasn't Eden but Kyou. For a cold dead second Lee looked at her just with he dead mechanical eyes scanning her, if of anything. But once that second, that seemed what like a year, he walked over to her. Kyou maybe strong, even probably the strongest here, but the sight of a 8 foot Mechanical Frankenstein Monster can put a shadow over anything even her. "Yes... What is it about my Creator?"

 

Eden shrugged as Hitosi knocked on the door. He just got up form where he was standing and opened the door. "So do you have my Food?"

[-Genesis-]

Kyou looked up at Lee curiously and examined him, *He's quite interesting, I wonder what he can do?* She blinked and went from examining Lee to telling him about Eden, "I apologize if you've been out here looking for him, but Eden wasn't feeling well so I took him and brought him to my room and tried to help him. I was able to weaken the pain, and slow down the progress of what's hapening to him, but that's all I can do. Would you like to see him?" After letting him search hoplessly for Eden for so long she felt it only right to let him see him.

 

Hitosi bowed to Eden as he opened the door, "No, I was sent to ask you what you would like and to pass on a message." Hitosi was scared of this person who had caught the interest of the Lady Kyou because he misunderstood what Eden was doing in her room.

[Freeman The Master]

Lee just looked down at Kyou. "You did? Huh then it will take longer then, I hope it dose not effect him to bad. But it seems that he is not in dangerous and dose not need me company. So I must say no."

 

Eden looked at Hitosi with a odd look but just shrugged it off. "Okay... Whats the message." He paused for a moment. But before he could even speak the message. "As for what I want give me Chicken."

[-Genesis-]

Kyou nodded her understanding, "What do you mean by 'it will take longer then', what's happening to him? If you know tell me so that I can help him!" She was frustrated and didn't understand. Eden's power was becoming extremely unstable rapidly, and if he went on the mission in his current condition it could prove fatal. She decide to simply tell Lee what was going on, "Lee, I've confined him to my room until further notice so that he can heal. If you change your mind at any time at all and wish to see him just ask any of the staff to tell you where my room is." With that Kyou turned around and started to walk away.

 

Hitosi nodded, acknowledging Eden's request before giving him lady Kyou's message, "Lady Kyou says that you are not to leave her room until she says so, she has very little use for it as she prefers to sleep outside under the stars. She also said that she was going to look for your friend Lee and see if he wanted to come up and see you." Now that he was done passing on the message Hitosi relaxed, "How would you like the chicken prepared?"

[Freeman The Master]

"I have found out that his Electrical 'Jumps' are a part of it seems a regeneration proses in his mental and physical state. From what I have scanned of his Blood and DNA. It seems this is a cycle for him. It seems that it has happened two times all ready in his past. But this proses never made its self know till now." Lee said in a cold tone of voice seemingly knowing all of what he is saying is true. "But I am sure he will be fine now, the proses might be less sever now. But please Madam Kyou do not tell Eden this as it might hurt his trust to me."

 

Meanwhile in Kyou's room Eden just shock his head at Hitosi. "I can't stay in here forever, I do hope she knows that." He just sighed. "All right just give me my food. I don't care how you cook it just get it up here." Eden said the last part with a little more emergency then the rest.

[Jake the Sage]

 

"A bottle?" Yaming asked having arrived on the scene.

 

"A very explosive bottle," Koya responded as he craddled the weapon Todou had been working on. He turned to the scientist with a smile and held it out to him, "Hey Todou . . . look . . . I didn't drop it."

 

"Ok . . . whatever, are you going to tell her or are you going to go find Koyu?" Akima asked and, when he didn't get an answer, turned and walked away with Kallen following. As she caught up she asked for the details, which Akima was all to glad to tell. Koya hadn't meant to ignore Akima and make him leave, truth be told, he hadn't even heard him because of the ringing in his ears. As he attempted to fix them, Todou shook his head angrily before taking the weapon away, "You have to follow my instructions to the letter if you're going to work with me. You're just lucky that Chaos Flare was a dud."

 

Koya, finally able to hear, stared at Todou blankly; having only heard 'a dud'. Todou turned and started back to the work shop before Koya managed to stop him, kind of emberrassed, and stated he would helpp while they were here but once the mission began he'd be leaving like they orignaly planned. Understanding both walked into the cottage and Todou flipped on a switch, suddenly making all the smoke was blown out by a fan system, "Well then lets work while we can."

 

Cougar had watched everyone tensely while they laughed over Koya's mistake, which he scoffed at too, but then heard Koya say something about the mission. This began to make him think about the near future, "If I had any sense I wouldn't go at all. I'm putting them all in danger, but I can't just bail on them. That's why I have to get Natalie to stay behind."

 

Natalie had shifted slightly in her sleep and then stood up with a big yawn as Cougar stared off into space, lost in his thoughts. Noticing something was wrong she instead gave a soft smile, used to him worrying too much, and waited for him to notice she was awake; after all, who can sleep through an explosion? Both Aya and Lora had screamed when the small boom made them jump in shock and then watched as the black smoke rose from the cottage. Both ran to see the group laughing and messing with each other and they gave sighs of relief and soon heard the entire story, which they also couldn't help but laugh at it. Aya relaxed and gave a heartfelt sigh before glancing at Lora, who was sighing in relief as well, "Well at least everyone's okay." She pulled Lora aside and whispered in her ear, "Let's wait for a private minute when we can talk to Mitch. Please don't tell anyone else about the story."

 

"Uh hu," was Lora's repsonse with a nod. In the aftermath of the explosion, Eden woke up with his heart skipping a beat. With him at a point of a literal melt down, this scare wasn't something he needed as he patted his heart top make it slow down, and old technique he had learned before comming to this world. Getting up he looked around the room , seeing a few of the figurines smashed on the ground from when they had fallen off the counter, and was hoping to whatever Gods that the explosion wasn't because of him. Eden saw the room was no different, save for the few broken things, and that Lee standing guard with no burn marks; at least no new ones that he could discern. Yet when he started to sigh in relief another jolt went though his back, making him shiver. "Damn it," he cursed while he shook his head.

 

Eden decided it was a better time then any and started once again walking around the Base; accompanied by Lee per usual. As he walked through the hallways he could see that almost all of the smoke had vanished from Todou's cottage; and, in addition, the figure of a man dressed in a black cloak on top of another building. He man seemed to be watching the group as they walked away from the scene. However he was, as Eden assumed it to be a Special Ops member, seemed to be heading straight for where Mitch and The General resided. Shrugging his shoulders Eden and Lee continued their fifth 'exploration' of the giant building. The stranger Eden had thought to be a Special Ops was now looking around for the General, his thoughts clear to Corey, It's most definitely the group I was supposed to meet up with before my delay. I could speak with them now, but The General is a more important asset to speak with for now . . ."

 

"And why would you wish to speak with the General?" Corey asked as the man rounded a corner and stood there facing Corey. Corey smirked as the man jumped a bit, out of suprise, and took another bite of his apple, "Well?"

 

Meanwhile, While waiting for Black, Destined saw the Northern General and Mitch walking through the hallways without a guard and the thoughts of how easy it would be to assassinate them got the better of him. Creeping around, making extra sure he wouldn't be seen nor heard, he slowly pulled out a dagger and then stopped once he heard something . . . odd.

 

"Do you think she rememebers anything?"

 

"I doubt it . . . after all I even thought she was dead," Mitch called back with a small bit of emberrassment.

 

"Oh hohoho! Guess we don't know everything about that little powerhouse of a girl," the General laughed in amusement as they rounded the corner. Dropping from his position Destined put away the dagger and tilted his head in curiosity, "Little powerhouse? Girl? Are they talking about Yaming?"

 

He stood up, a bit disturbed by what he just heard, and eventually decided to put it out of his mind; although he had no intention on forgetting, opting to "store" the information away until he could he "properly utalized". Black had appeared the minute the General and Mitch's voices where no longer audible and gave a mock salute instead of stating he was present.

 

"Anyway," Destined said as he took his mind off the words and walked over to Black, "I want to inform you on my plans, this way you won't be out of the loop."

 

"Sir, yes sir!" Black barked with another mock salute, he was barely able to keep himself from laughing at his show; his humor was . . . odd, "Anyways, what is the plan?"

 

"I plan on taking the Southern Military by force and solo. You're welcome to come along," Destined stated coldly without even the smallest twitch across his mouth, "I will attempt to gain trust here before leaving. When we get to the South, I will ill the general and begin my plans to take over everyone. No one will expect it coming."

 

"Sure . . . except me," Josh yelled as he floated around the two, "But then again . . . I'm already dead. Damn . . ."

 

The explosion had rattled Kyou from her spot on the roof, making her stand up and walked to the edge to look down over the courtyard, "Oh . . . so it was just another one of Todou's gadgets again. Nothing to worry about." Shrugging her shoulder Kyou couldn't get comfertable again in her spot and then heard voices in the distance, the voiuces of Destined and Black. When the words 'my plans' hit her ears she quickly and quietly headed in their direction. Without knowing it Kyou had been sitting on the roof listening to Destined and Black, giggling at Black's mocking salute and thought of Destined as, a fool to not even check his own surroundings. and . . . amateurish.

 

"Mitch!?" Lora yelled while she and Aya looked for the Legendary. Glancing around Lora sighed in aggervation and then pointed to one of the floor tiles, "We've passed that same tile three times now! We're lost!"

 

Lora fell to the ground and pouted as Aya looked at her, a small emberrassed smile on her face; wasn't she supposed to be the brave one? In the hallway next to them Kyou had leapt from the roof and landed just behind Destined, "No one except me, that is."

 

"That's my line chicky!" Josh retorted as he passed through the wall seperating the two girls from the slowe boiling conflict. Kyou smiled and sat down on window seal and stared at Black, "By the way . . . you actually made me laugh with your joke."

 

"Someone actually thought I was funny? Odd . . . they usually hate me." was the only thing Black could think while he smiled about it. Aya had to force Lora to get up as she began to whine about never finding their way back to the others. Kyou was now addressing Destined as Lora slumped back to the ground, "So now that I know your plan, what do you plan to do? Well?"

 

"Foolish little brat . . . Go on! Tell Them! It dosen't matter to me. Not one bit," Destined laughed as he held his sides. Black stepped to Destined's side and grinned, "Plan to do, ma chere? I plan to join him!"

 

Black held onto his book and weapons, ready to go if needed, as he contined, "And what, pray tell, do YOU plan on doing about it, Kyou?"

 

"Because if you're looking to die a crispy death, you've come to the right place!" Destined added in with a snap of his finger, which sparked a flame to life in his hands. Lora and Aya by now were far away from the danger and had rounded a corner, passing the picture of a cloaked figure, while continuing to call out for Mitch. Unknown to them the same person in the picture was standing outside of the Southern Rebel Base at the very moment, "I wonder," he thought, "How all this will end? How much blood will be spilt?"

 

"You really think that you could kill me?" Kyou smirked at the threat and then started laughing, ending simply in a glance at Destined. In that instant the flame and his hand froze in a block of ice, "My power is greater than yours. You see . . . fire needs oxygen to survive and my ice doesn't."

 

She turned to walk away from him, but glanced back, "Also if you wish to, go ahead with your plan. Remember I will be there before you and if I save him then you'll be executed and I'll be hailed as a hero, getting me that much closer to killing him and the other leaders myself as my plan permits," with that she walk away while Destined closed his hand in a fit of silent anger, "jabroni", he thought as he shattered the ice between his fingertips. Kyou kept walking, slightly disappointed that he hadn't attacked her, and decided to tell him a secret, "Oh! And Destined . . . why are you so obsessed with gaining control over something? I mean you have so much farther that your powers could grow to, but first you need to find something that truly matters to you, that you can't live without. And once you find it, you have to be willing to give it up. That's one of the reasons you'll never beat me: you only think of what you want. You're not interested in controlling a nation because you'll be a good leader, you want to because it'll make you feel great."

 

"You're such a brat!" Lora yelled at Aya as she yanked some hair again. While wandering around the two had somehow managed to get into their first fight about which way to go. Lora, of course, was the one who started it by calling Aya 'crybaby' when she started to tear up over being lost. But the fists only started flying when Aya insulted Lora by calling her father 'an idiot for having her'. As the two clawed and pulled at each others head of hair, Kyou shook her head continuing to walk away; when she walked right past Black she gave a small wave.

 

"You thought I was funny?" Black questioned innocently as she walked by. Kyou nodded her head and called back to Destined one last time, "If that's who you really are then your no better then the Western General you hate so much."

 

"Whatever. Are you done here?" Destined asked with a sigh, but she was right- partially. He didn't want the South for good intent, it was so he could show off. But in the same sense she was wrong, what set him apart from other supers was that he was extaordinary . . . in many more ways then one.

 

"You can't tone down you arrogance for even a minute, can you?" I try to tell you how you can become powerful enough to be a threat to me and you just blow it off. Go ahead and take control of a country, maybe in a few years we'll all be trying to kill you instead of the Western General!" she yelled with a shake of her head and with that she continued to walk off, "What a damn fool! So arrogant! So full of himself!"

"Not unlike you once were," a voice in the back of her mind told her.

"True . . . but I was willing to change. I doubt that he could even do that! Much less succeed," Kyou continued as she rounded the corner, almost going in the direction of the two squabbeling children, "If he only did . . . he'd be a completely different person."

 

"I really need to shave off my arrogance," Destined remarked once Kyou had gotten out of ear shot.

 

With the two Elementals finished their "face-off" as it seemed, Eden was some what unaware to his surroundings with the voltage going through his body; making its burning and painful spikes on so many more levels of torture that it was driving him even further in to madness. Black was disappointed neither had fought and chose that following Kyou was his new hobby. This female amused him and he was generally not attracted to women; he wasn't attracted to anyone really, he wasn't homosexual, and was simply that he just didn't after a companionship. Watching he could see Eden walking around the place and then bummed in Kyou. "Ah! Hey," he paused for a moment to let his focus come back, "Oh . . . its you . . . sorry."

 

"It's Eden right?" Kyou didn't wait long enough for an answer, "Is something wrong? You seem completely disorientated and unbalenced. And your power is extremely unstable," She was genuinely worried now, as she was a healer by trade, and although she was often used by her grandfather as a weapon she didn't waste any time. Pulling him to her, she held him close as ice came up from the ground and formed into flower petals. Being so close to Kyou, with flowers all around them, Eden couldn't help but turn bright red as he blushed; he was a trader by profession and wandering through wastelands never had its choices of contact with others, much less such an appealing person of the opposite sex. With the petals closed around them only to open moments later; revealing a large bedroom. Kyou lifted him up and placed him on the bed before sitting down at his side, "Tell me what's wrong, maybe I can help."

 

Then next thing he knew is he was in her bedroom. This didn't help him at all, but he managed to shake out of it. Being inside the private living quarters of someone like Kyou, his thoughts turned to what kind of adults she would prefer; and Eden wondered if she would want someone like him. Shaking his head he manged to get past his blushing and hesitation to finally think straight, "Nothing is wrong Kyou. I . . . I am fine and besides why would there be a reason to worry?"

 

He had to paused for a moment in mid sentance as a slight jolt went though his back once again, but at this point he was getting used to it. With Eden and Kyou now gone in some pocket dimension, Lee looked around curiously and wadered the grounds looking for his master. When he did a hot spot of radiation in one areas caught his attention; and worst off was the dark shadows burned on the ground.

 

Within the pocket dimension Kyou's anger made the water in the room instantaneously turned into ice spires, "You're lying to me! I'm trying to help you!"

 

She realized that she might be scaring him and turned the ice back to water and made sure that it went back into the water path that trailed all throughout her quarters. She relaxed before continuing, "I can feel your power fluctuating, as you stopped. Something is causing you pain and it's messing with you. It's why you bumped into me before."

 

Eden had jumped when Kyou's anger was revealed through the water. Without Lee behind him he wasn't much of a boaster, and definately not the Legendary Hero type, so he quickly began to explain the situation as best he could. Once he was finished the two bouted back and forth if his "condition" was really something to worry about, which ended in Eden drinking some special water Kyou gave him.

 

"How do you feel now?"

 

"I guess I feel a . . . a little hungry I guess. For the oddest reason I just got hungery now."

 

"Alright then I'll get you some food, but stay here! Also . . . I meant are you still in pain and phasing-out?" with that she disappeared inside another flower made of ice, but now that Eden was on the outside all the visible detail and beauty was visible.

 

Outside the room Kyou made her way to the kitchen and managed to have the Chef's assistant being to prepare some foor for Eden; who she had confined to her room. Stepping out of the kitchen she nearly ran into Lee as he scanned for his master. Looking down on her Kyou couldn't help but push her back against the wall, Kyou maybe strong, even probably the strongest here, but the sight of a 8 foot Mechanical Frankenstein Monster can put a shadow over anything even her. "He's amazing! To imagine . . . I wonder what he can do?" Kyou pondered and then asked if Lee was looking for Eden, only getting a very fast nod from him. She explained Eden's situation, thinking that Lee would understand, and then waited for him to answer or at least give his input.

 

"You lock up master? You cure master? It take longer now," Lee said as the sound of a small fight caught his attention and he headed towards the noise, "I hope it not effect master badly to bad."

 

"What do you mean by 'it will take longer then', what's happening to him? If you know then please tell me so that I can help him!" she was frustrated and didn't understand. Eden's power was becoming extremely unstable rapidly and if he went on the mission in his current condition it could prove fatal. She decide to simply tell Lee what was going on, "Lee, I've confined him to my room until further notice."

 

"Master shivers are part of his mojo. I scanned master and mojo has cycle. It happen one and one time already for master," Lee mumbled, "But Lee think master fine now. Cycle finish soon. Madam Kyou? No tell master this. Please?"

 

Kyou had began to say she would when a smiled appeared on Lee's face. She looked over to see Lora and Aya all messed up and in tears. They had stopped fighting a while ago and now just wanted to get back to the group; Lee had been smiling at at how funny the situation was.

 

[Blake]

Black had watched the whole conversation between Kyou and Eden, and Kyou's other conversation. Black thought. She was intriging, and he would use her. He figured she would go to Aya and Lora and calm them dow. Black thought,

Todou shook his head at Koya, "Whatever, let's get moving." He placed the weapon onto the table again and cleared it. Then he pointed to a desk with multiple pieces of electronics on it, "On that desk is the plans and pieces for an improved power limiter, I'm going to trust you to follow the plans exactly and put it together, do you think you can do that?" Without waiting for an answer he turned back to the weapon and started working.

 

Cougar gently brushed his hand along Natalie's smooth hair, "Natalie, I need you to do something for me." Natalie sat up and looked down at his laying form, "What is it?" He sat up and kissed her and looked into her eyes, "I want you to stay behind when we go on the mission. I can't tell you why, but I need you to understand... Please." He knew that he was hurting her by just asking, but he also knew that it was necessary. Tears start to form in Natalie's eyes, but she nods, "Alright, but on one condition: When you get back you will tell me why." Cougar nodded in agreement. With that Natalie stood up and walked off, but she didn't get very far, after she rounded the corner toward her room she broke down right there in the hallway, crying her eyes out.

 

Aya looked over at Lora and came up with an idea, "I'm such an idiot!" She turned to look at Lora and started crying again, "Lora I'm sorry for everything I did and said before! I should have just done this before and we never would have fought." Aya pulled her notebook out of her satchel and opened it to a blank page, "Make us a map." Aya focused her power in the command and the notebook complied, drawing a detailed map including labels for each room and hallway. Aya looked up to Lora smiling before looking back down at the map, *I don't want to risk another fight over which way to go so...* Aya made another order to the notebook, "Show us the way to go to Mitch." Instantly the notebook drew a path along the map showing them exactly where to go."

 

Kyou left Lee behind and walked over to see what was wrong with Lora and Aya. "What's wrong little ones?"

 

Up in her room Hitosi nodded to Eden and before running out the door, "Lady Kyou knows that, she just said that you need your rest. I'll get your food up here immediately." With that he ran off to the kitchen to tell Chef Farcius who set about making one of his best meals for Eden, after all he gave Kyou his word.

 

Akima and Kallen were walking through the halls talking to each other about the journey ahead, "Are you sure you can pretend to be a slave Akima, I mean you don't take orders very well." Akima blushed I can take orders just fine thank you." Kallen laughed, "Oh really, do you remember that fight with Destined way back when? We told you to stop being stubborn and let us help, but no you had to try and be the hero and took Destined all alone, you almost killed yourself!"

"I'm such an idiot!" Aya exclaimed before looking over at Lora and starting to cry again, "I'm sorry for everything I said! I should have just done this and we never would have fought."

 

Lora grinned and slugged her gently in the arm to show everything was alright between the two, "Its alright. It was kinda fun to get in a fight with you."

 

"Make us a map."

 

Aya ordered as she opened her notebook to a blank page, having to focus her power to make the notebook comply; drawing a detailed map including labels for each room and hallway. Aya looked up to Lora smiling before looking back down at the map, "Show us the way to go to Mitch."

 

"On that desk is the plans and pieces for an improved power limiter, I'm going to trust you to follow the plans exactly and put it together, do you think you can do that?" Todou stated and then he pointed to a desk with multiple pieces of electronics on it, Without waiting for an answer he turned back to the weapon and started working. Looking at the complex plans Koya gave a nervious laugh and started the long . . . teadious work of putting Point A into Slot C while tightening Area B.

 

Instantly the notebook drew a path along the map showing them exactly where to go while the two children watched on in delight, this would surely make their trip a lot easier; and prevent them from having to duke it out again in a fist fight. Pointing to the map Lora glanced at Aya, "So where do we go?"

 

"What's wrong little ones?" Kyou called while walking up just after Lora spoke; she herself having just left Lee behind. Looking over her shoulder Lora gasped in suprise and snatched the map from Aya's hands and raced over to Kyou. Quickly explaining the situation and, having to repeat it a second time so Kyou could actually understand her, held out the map. The stranger Eden had thought to be a Special Ops was now looking around for the General, his thoughts clear to Corey, It's most definitely the group I was supposed to meet up with before my delay. I could speak with them now, but The General is a more important asset to speak with for now . . ."

 

"And why would you wish to speak with the General?" Corey asked as the man rounded a corner and stood there facing Corey. Corey smirked as the man jumped a bit, out of suprise, and took another bite of his apple, "Well?"

 

Akima and Kallen rounded the corner to see Corey confronting some stranger, all the while finishing off an apple.

 

<@Black: that is your new character>

"... I'm from the Southern Rebels. I'm a COlonel, per se, and I need to speak with him. What is wrong with that?" Saul asked. "I have committed no crime." He stared, but with no rage. Only... Peace. He seemed the opposite of Black, at least to Corey. "Now, may I please see him?" He asked with a slight smile. Then Saul had an alert He stifled his thoughts.

 

Black felt something but he didn't know what. Was it Saul. He thought, and returned his attention to Kyou.

Eden sighed as he closed the door on Hitosi. "Odd why do I feel so hungry now? I never really eat that much. I never have the appitite for it, now I am starving." Eden just sighed rubbing his head a little as he layed down on the bed.

 

Lee smiled to Kyou and walked off.

"May I see some identification?" Corey mocked to try and get Saul angry, but when it failed he waved his hand in front of his face and gave a sigh, "Alright . . . alright."

 

Leading Saul through the hallways they eventually make it to the conferance room and he knocks loudly on the door, "General? A colonel of the Southern Rebels here to see you . . . General?"

[Blake]

Saul stood patiently, and guarded his thoughts. He thought a little sadly, only vaguely aware they had stopped moving. He thought briefly on what had happened and shed it. Then Saul spoke, calmly as ever. "If he's unable to see me right now, that's fine." He was concerned about John first, mission later.

[Jake the Sage]

Corey gave a sigh and explained that the General was probably on one of his strolls and, if so, he'd be hard to find. Hearing a few bits and pieces of Saul's mind he raised an eyebrow, "How do you know about Black?"

[Blake]

Saul calmly looked the man in the eye "That's what he's called now, I sorta forgot. Yes I know Marsuvees Black. He's my... brother, of sorts. Adopted. And he's a rogue. Keep an eye on him at all times. If it wasn't for me... he'd be even worse." Samuel said, wondering if this guy measured power levels, and knew he was weak. "And reading people's minds is rude, you know." Saul said with a smirk.
