Struggle Of Powers

[Skippy Canoe]

OoC: I'm hoping this is long enough, as I've been informed that I've been shortposting. ;3

 

Bellis stood quiet, observing what had happened around her. No one had seemed to recognize her. Nothing had happened immediately. She had absolutely no idea who all of these people were, but she had a feeling that she had a duty here. It was more of an instinct than a precognitive vision. When she tried to think, her temples burned more. It was a wonder her blond hair didn't become singed against it, or that her skin didn't catch fire from the heat. The pain grew worse from the speaking around her, and she knew she couldn't handle much more. She needed rest as soon as possible. The people around her became a messy blur. Her vision became hot red. She leaned on Josh, not a bit too dramatically. She couldn't speak. Her brain and its abilities had been abused too much, and any jump in activity would cause immense pain.

 

Bellis had mastered her brain, however, and could use a large percentage of it, unlike the average human, or even the average Super. She, in order to shut down unneeded brain functions, forced herself to sleep. Upon doing so, she slid to the hard, unforgiving ground.

[Tempest Dahlia]

Destined remained laid back, looking at the beautiful woman that was Amanda interact with the rest. Deep with himself, he knew the time to take over the South was upon him. In a few days he'd have the base under his command, and next, the world would succumb to him. lt was just a matter of setting things up...

"Black, can you co,e for a sec?" he asked nicely. lt was time to begin the takedown, and he'd need many hands to do it...

"Darren! Kyba! Get over here!" he yelled.

[DragonJLB]

"Hay, are you ok!" Josh said grabing Bellis as she started to fall, Then setting her on the ground he continued by saying. " I think she's out, Yaming Do you have a tent we can set her in." Josh said with consern in his voice. Josh put his hand on her forhead, then pulled it away when he felt how hot it was. " She's burning up...like he has a high fever." Josh said as he nealed be side her.

[-Genesis-]

Kyou nodded at Amber, leaned back on the rock, closed her eyes and smiled at them, "Are you interested in coming along?" *These two could add to my guard and to the nubers we'll have to take on the Southern Leaders. So far it's just Kallen, Eden, Lee, Saul, and myself... we could use a few more skilled hands.*

 

Kallen nodded her understanding and congratulated Josh and Yaming on their reunion. Then she noticed Corey and some woman off in the distance and see what else was going on. She ran over to Corey and placed a hand on his shoulder and looked at the woman (Amanda) "Hey Corey... Who is this?" She made a point at glaring at the woman.

 

Cougar made a move as if to push Eden back down onto the bed, *Corey! Are you coming?* Then he noticed something.... Lee was nowhere to be found, *Where is that big lug.... I haven't seen him around for a while.*

 

As they were running Alisa picked up a faint signal on her pulse radar. *Hmm, what could that be? The signal is so weak... could it be a tracker? Trackers signals are weak because of their abilities, but why would one be following us?* She immediately reactivaed the comlink to Ike, *Ike, I just picked up a very faint signal following us... I think it could be a tracker, but what tracker would be foolish enough to follow us?*

 

Meanwhile Kiria was focused on other things... specifically thoughts on what would happen when they attacked the Southern Leaders at the signing of the false treaty they were to make, *I will most likely take on the Demon Bordimor, Alisa and Ike can take on the Lightning Twins Lana and Hachi... once those three are dead the rest will be simple.*

 

[Final Fantasy Revolution]

A decent sized group of southern rebels ran to the front of the base and surrounded a figure. He wore a black cloak and was hooded, he had his hands raised in the air and clearly wasn't looking for a fight. "Who are you, and what the heck do you want?!" A man who was apparently leading the squad of rebels said to this stranger. Anyone who was on a hill or rock side could see if they were high enough and anyone who could hear the man's shouting could easily hear something was amiss...

[Jake the Sage]

"Sorry, I'm not in the mood to be worked right now," his hand quickly wiped his mouth in a single handed fashion. The soldiers had fallen to the ground and Bordimor grabbed a remote, pressing it so that an electrical current went through the slave and paralyzed him. Leaning out of the window Bordimor yelled that the guards better get him now or else. Laughing Bordimor brings his head back just in time to hear the man, who had waken up, to remark on Vera's beauty.

 

"My name Is Alex . . . and I am your humble servent."

 

"Ahh-AH!? Well . . . thanks," Vera blushed as Bordimor kicked the man, Alex, in the side.

 

"Enough of that type of talk slave!" he said kicking him agian, "You're only here because the pet wants you here."

 

"Stop it!" Vera yelled as she jumped out in front of Bordimor, her arms raised to protect Alex, and she held her head low to hide the sad look on her face, thinking she asked herself, "Why am I doing this? I bearly know this man . . ."

 

 

"Well, when they get here we'll get you somewhere quite so you can rest," Yaming said as Ichiro, James, Corey and Titanium came up the hill. Kallen, having seen the large group on the hill, ran up to them. As she ran she recognized Yaming, "Hey Yaming! I just woke up, what happened with that dragon and- Holy s***! Josh!?"

 

Kallen just noticed Josh standing opposite her in the group and recognized him, "Wait, this doesn't make sense . . . you're dead!"

 

Both laughed, quickly explained the situation to her; Kallen congratulated Josh and Yaming on their reunion. Bellis stood quiet, observing what had happened around her. No one had seemed to recognize her and she had absolutely no idea who all of these people were, but she had a feeling that she had a duty here. It was more of an instinct than a precognitive vision. When she tried to think, her temples burned more. The pain grew worse from the speaking around her, and she knew she couldn't handle much more. She needed rest as soon as possible. The people around her became a messy blur. Leaning on Josh, not a bit too dramatically, she found her mouth was dry and hoarse making it impossible to speak. Her abilities had been abused too much and she slid to the hard ground. The sound was enough to stop everfryone from talking and finally notice the condition she was in.

 

"Hey! Are you ok!?" Josh asked grabbing Bellis while she fell. Everyone crowded around her, calling her name and trying to wake her up, but her breathing was labored and sweat formed on her brow. Setting her on the ground Josh looked at Yaming, "She's out cold. Do you have a tent we can set her in?

 

Nodding Yaming pointed back to the camp and Tituanium quickly scooped the girl into his cold mechanical arms. Ready everyone quickly headed back to the camp. While they walked Kallen noticed Corey and some woman off in the distance, running over to him she placed a hand on his shoulder and looked at the woman, "Hey Corey . . . Who's this?"

 

She glared at the woman, who merely smiled, and Corey didn't answer. He was too infatuated with her beauty to even notice Kallen, "Corey? Did you even hear me!?"

 

 

"I'm Amber and this is Elizabeth," the eldest of the women said, patting the other on the head, "And we already know about your plans- Corey told us."

 

"Are you interested in coming along?" Kyou asked as she, leaned back on the rock, closed her eyes and smiled at them, "These two could add to my guard and to the numbers we'll have to take on the Southern Leaders. So far it's just Kallen, Eden, Lee, Saul, and myself . . . we could use a few more skilled hands."

 

"Lady Kyou," the Professor said over his shoulder, "Amber and Elizabeth have already been selected to accompany use for the mission."

 

"We're both wanted 'criminals' in the South," Elizabeth said a bit too proud of the fact, "So we can't pass this chance up!"

 

"It's ok . . . please don't . . . burden your self with me," Alex said as he coughed up a little blood, keeping a smile on his face, "I am just your servant . . . no need to wory for me."

 

Bordimor was about to turn and give the slave another harsh kick, but was stopped when the sound of a fight down below caught his attention again. Looking down he could see another slave trying to fight off the guards with the one he had ordered to be brought to him. Sighing Bordimor ordered a couple guards to watch his new pet as he went to deal with the troublemakers, ignoring a beep eminating from his side.

 

Looking at her radar Alisa could see a faint blip, "What could that be? The signal is so weak . . . could it be a tracker? But why would one be following us?" She immediately reactivaed the comlink to Ike, "Ike . . . I just picked up a very faint signal following us. I think it could be a tracker, but what tracker would be foolish enough to follow us?"

 

"Whoever it is, they aren't a fool. They've been keeping the minimal distance to follow us. Logic dictates it is a Southern Tracker," Ike responded over the comlink.

 

"I will most likely take on the Demon Bordimor, Alisa and Ike can take on the Lightning Twins Lana and Hachi . . . once those three are dead the rest will be simple," Kiria said, comepletely ignorant of Ike and Alisa's discussion. A grin appeared as he thought what they battle between Bordimor and him would be like.

 

The group was begining to enter the camp now, catching the Professor and Saul's attention as they carried Bellis to the Medical Tent. Telling them he would have to leave he got up promptly and headed towards the group. Destined, however, remained laid back while he watched everyone in a panic over one small girl.Deep with himself, he knew the time to take over the South was upon him and in a few days he'd have the base under his command . . . and after that . . . all would succumb to his rule.

 

"Black? Come here," he said. It was time to begin the takedown and he'd need many hands to do it, "Darren! Kyba! Get over here as well!"

 

"Yes, si-"

 

"Who are the hell are you!?" someone yelled loud enough to stop everyone. Southern Rebel soldiers were surrounding a man, who wore a black hooded cloak, as his hands raised in the air. The Professor saw the man, shook his head, and told the rest to get the girl to the medical tent and he would return as soon as he could. Walking over he called out, "Shiver? How goes everything in the Western Sector?"

[LuffyLaxer]

Tiberius was being brought up by the guards from his cell. *Another torturing perhaps? No not this time.* Tiberius thought to himself. *I'm not going to feel the pain of the whip or punch again. I will be free or die.* Tiberius then shook his head and smiled a creepy smile that only he could. Then Tiberius pushed the guard with all his strength to the side and then got up. With his hands free began his attack. With his quickness, he begun his attack on the guards. he fought around them using his Wolf Style. "Attack number 12." With that Tiberius charged one of the guards and then jumped over him. With that, he kicked the guard in his back, then grabbed his shoulders and threw him to the ground. "Charge of the Damned." Tiberius looked up and noticed that Bordimor noticed he was beating the guards. *Good I can take out one of the men that has caused me the most pain. And maybe get him to take this off of me.* Tiberius thought while he kept fighting the other guards.

[Final Fantasy Revolution]

Schiver put his hands down and walked coolly and calmly to the professor. "It goes well, though you know my endless list of missions, I haven't actually "been" there in several months." Schiver said to the professor, stopping in front of him afterwards. The rebel soldiers dispersed like nothing ever happened in their camp. "My latest mission, escorting Akima's team to you and helping their mission, obviously got held up and for that I apologize." Schiver said, giving a grin under his hood. "Did they manage to get here safely." Schiver asked with his usual emotionless tone of voice.

[Blake]

Black looked at his creation one last time before warping to Destined. "You beckoned?" He asked with a grin. Then he saw the new guy. Schiver, was it? Black wondered what was so special about him. HE didn't look the part, even if he was really special. Well, time would tell.

 

Amanda traced her fingers along coreys jawline. "The northern general wishes to alert you..." She said seductively, "And I was sent to retrieve you." Her blue eyes shone with the thoughts behind them. Those thoughts were of lust, not evil. Then she turned to Kallen, hands still on Corey's jaw. "I am Amanda. I was sent to rendezvous with Corey."

 

Saul turned. "So he's back, huh?" He asked no one in particular. He just stared at Schiver, wondering if his mission had gone well. He dared not turn around, even though he wanted away from Schiver, because the girls would tear him apart. He just fidgeted with his katana's handle underneath his cloak.

[Aqua Girl]

Vera Stayed standing till Bordimort had leaft she sighed, and knelt down to Alex, vera looked at him he looked up and sudenly kissed her, "Hello my love!..." Alex says, releasing from the kiss.

 

Tears fill her eyes, "Alucard...." She says hugging him, She sudenly slaps him leaveing him with a Dumb look on his face. "Why!"

 

"Shhh! They can't know, I had to hide my self so the hunters wouldn't know.... I love you I'm sorry for Leaveing for over 100 years" He Pleades, Giveing her a hug once more.

"For now I Must go my love It would be better If I hid"

 

"Wait!" She gives him another Kiss.

"Bye"

[Freeman The Master]

As Corgar started to push Eden down for more rest, he pushed him away. "I don't need anymore rest. I ma fine I just got a headache." He said winching both of his hands rubbed his eyes trying to get the blood flowing once again. He just shock his head as his headache somewhat pounded at his head over and over. He just gave a sigh as he just kept ignoring the pain. "Tell what happened? Why did I black out?"

 

As Eden was looking for Answers form Cougar Lee was looking the area around the Camp. It seems before Eden passed out someone form the Rebels conned Eden in to using Lee as a Sentry Guard, to look out for Raiders and Loyal Southern Forces. He was just standing there on a small hill looking in to the horizon not even knowing what happened to Eden.

[Final Fantasy Revolution]

Schiver looked over to Saul who had just made a comment about him being back to visit the Southern Rebels again. Seeing as how Schiver was a member of the Western Rebellion this was indeed a site for sore eyes. "What's the matter Saul, does the professor have you running small little errands again instead of big and mysterious missions." Schiver said, joking around with Saul about his position as the professor right hand man.

[Skippy Canoe]

Bellis' limp body was in the cold metal arms of Titanium. She was being brought somewhere she was unaware of. When she was dropped on a small cot, she awoke immediately from her voluntary sleep. Her brain singed her temples, and she cried out. Immediately, she looked around, and saw only Titanium. The pain had died down a bit after her sleep.

 

"Who are you? Where am I?" Bellis asked, dazed. When she did so, more pain surged through her head. Crying out in pain, she put her cold hand to her forehead.

 

"Forget that. Why am I here?" she asked firmly.

[-Genesis-]

Kallen glared at Amanda, *Something's not right here... but since I'm not a Northerner I don't know if this is true or not. So I think I'll get some Northerners.* She stepped toward Corey, took his hand and shook it, putting on a facade of believing the story, "Well congratulations Corey, I'll leave you two alone." She simply turned and walked away, *Alright, now that I have a tracer on Corey I just need to find Kyou or Cougar. Kyou is probably near water and Cougar could be anywhere.... I think I saw a spring earlier, I'll start there.*

 

Kyou nodded her understanding to the Professor, "So they will be accompanying you into the slaves life? Of course, and Saul is still to act with me as a bargaining chip." She turned back to the girls, "Amber, Elizabeth, in the future the two of may come to me for anything. Just look for myself or Cougar, he is the one who will be leading your rebel friends while you are with your professor."

 

Cougar looked down and Eden with blatant honesty on his face, "I don't know why you passed out, but I do know it's a bit worse than a headache, but I'm no doctor, Corey kinda is though." *Corey! Get your ass over here now!....or I'll be reporting you to the General for failure so do your duty!*

 

Lana was walking down the east corridor trying to find Hachi when she heard fighting farther down. She started running and after running into a large hall, came upon a ravaged man (Tiberius) beating guards left and right and she also saw Bordimor watching from the other side of the hall. Lana stepped forward, "Guards, stand down!" Immediately all the guards backed away, leaving Tiberius alone, but blocking all exits. "You are obviously incompetent, this man is severely injured and fighting on the last bit of strength he has left, and you can't stop him." She looked to Bordimor making sure that she wasn't over stepping her bounds. Lana turned back to the slave, "Do not mistake this for mercy, you will now fight me... If you can impress me a bit then maybe I will help you, understand?" Then she took a simple boxing stance, *I just hope Hachi doesn't get involved, I don't plan to kill the whelp, but I don't want Hachi to stop me again.*

 

Behind Tiberius the guards were whispering, but they were just loud enough for him to hear, "Have you ever seen her fight before?" "No, but I hear that underestimating her have cause her to beat hundreds of people." "Well they're lying, she's an amazing fighter, the truth is that people underestimating her makes her win faster. Her stance is a basic combat stance, but what she does with that stance, there's nothing basic about that." "Is it true that she trains special operations teams?" Etc.

[Jake the Sage]

"Who are the hell are you!?" someone yelled loud enough to stop everyone. Southern Rebel soldiers were surrounding a man, who wore a black hooded cloak, as his hands raised in the air. The Professor saw the man, shook his head, and told the rest to get the girl to the medical tent and he would return as soon as he could. Walking over he called out, "Shiver? How goes everything in the Western Sector?"

 

Schiver walked cool and calmly to the Professor as each soldier watched a bit stunned, "It goes well. Though you know my endless list of missions . . . I haven't actually 'been' there in several months."

 

"Is that so? Well at least you are still doing your job," the Professor said as the rebel soldiers dispersed with a nod from their leader.

 

"My latest mission: escorting Akima's team to you and helping their mission, obviously got held up and for that I apologize," Schiver said, giving a grin under his hood, "Did they manage to get here safely?"

 

"Yes we did," Koya said walking out of the tent, having heard the last bit of the conversation. Within the tent Bellis' limp body was in the cold metal arms of Titanium, she was barely aware of her surroundings as the cool feeling of a bed touched her burning skin, and then she awoke immediately from her voluntary sleep; making her cry out. Looking around she could see everyone watching her, concerned for her safety.

 

"Who are you? Where am I?" Bellis asked, dazed. When she did so, more pain surged through her head. Crying out in pain, she put her cold hand to her forehead, "Forget that. Why am I here?"

 

"You're here because you had an incredibly high fever, over 110 degrees," James said as he reviewed the medical charts on her, "Any higher and you might've died."

 

"Doctor James managed to break your fever," Titanium said blankly as everyone smiled at her. Yaming was sitting on the side of the bed and gave her a friendly hug, relieved that this stranger was alright, "We're glad you made it."

 

 

Bordimor was about to turn and give the slave another harsh kick, but was stopped when the sound of a fight down below caught his attention again. Looking down he could see another slave trying to fight off the guards with the one he had ordered to be brought to him. Sighing Bordimor ordered a couple guards to watch his new pet as he went to deal with the troublemakers, ignoring a beep eminating from his side. Stepping into the courtyard Bordimor could see the slave that had helped call out, "Attack Number 12!"

 

With that, Tiberius as his ID scan confirmed, charged one of the guards and then jumped over him. With that, he kicked the guard in his back, quickly followed by a grab to the shoulders and threw him to the ground.

"Charge of the Damned," Tiberius screamed as he noticed that Bordimor was near him, "Good . . . I can take out one of the men that has caused me the most pain. And maybe get him to take this off of me . . ." Tiberius thought, lightly touching the collar, while he kept fighting the other guards. Bordimor could see that the other slave had been beaten into submission, but the other was causing a bit of problems even though he was powerless.

 

"Guards, stand down!" someone bellowed and immediately all the guards backed away, leaving Tiberius alone, but blocking all exits. "You incompetent fools! I should lock you in collars myself and let the beasts have their way with you before they dine on your flesh! This man is severely injured and fighting on the last bit of strength he has left . . and you can't even stop him!"

 

She looked to Bordimor, making sure that she wasn't over stepping her bounds, but only saw him smiling at her threats and the cowaring soldiers. Lana turned back to the slave, "Do not mistake this for mercy, you will now fight me . . . If you can impress me a bit, then maybe I will help you, understand?"

 

Then she took a simple boxing stance, "I just hope Hachi doesn't get involved. I don't plan to kill the whelp, but I don't want Hachi to stop me again."

 

Behind Tiberius the guards were whispering, but they were just loud enough for him to hear, "Have you ever seen her fight before?"

 

"No, but I hear that underestimating her have cause her to beat hundreds of people."

 

"Lana!" Bordimor said as he turned to leave, grinning over his shoulder, "No mercy for sub human creatures like that. Understood!?"

 

"Lady Kyou," the Professor said over his shoulder, "Amber and Elizabeth have already been selected to accompany use for the mission."

 

"We're both wanted 'criminals' in the South," Elizabeth said a bit too proud of the fact, "So we can't pass this chance up!"

 

Kyou nodded her understanding to the Professor, "So they will be accompanying you into the slaves life? Of course . . . and Saul is still to act with me as a bargaining chip."

 

She turned back to the girls, "Amber, Elizabeth, in the future the two of may come to me for anything. Just look for myself or Cougar, he is the one who will be leading your rebel friends while you are with your Professor."

 

"I think there is a misunderstanding, Lady Kyou," Elizabeth said, "We're to accompany you."

 

"Yes and now I think its about time we get out," Amber said getting out as Saul watched the commotion in the distance and asked no one in particular, "So he's back, huh?"

 

He just stared at Schiver, wondering if his mission had gone well. He dared not turn around, even though he wanted away from Schiver, because the girls would tear him apart. He just fidgeted with his katana's handle underneath his cloak. Schiver looked over to Saul, who had just made a comment about him being back, "What's the matter Saul? Does the Professor have you running small little errands again instead of big and mysterious missions?"

 

Schiver may have been joking around with Saul about his position, but he really didn't know if he had offended him. in the corner of his eye he could still see Corey with the lady, Amanda, as she traced her fingers along Corey's jawline, "The Northern General wishes to alert you and I was sent to retrieve you."

 

Corey's heart was beating a mile a minute while her blue eyes shone with the thoughts behind them; thoughts of lust. Then she turned to Kallen, hands still on Corey's jaw, "I am Amanda. I was sent to rendezvous with Corey."

 

Kallen glared at Amanda, "Something's not right here . . . but since I'm not a Northerner, I don't know if this is true or not. So I think I'll get some Northerners." She stepped toward Corey, took his hand and shook it, putting on a facade of believing the story, "Well congratulations Corey, I'll leave you two alone."

 

She simply turned and walked away, "Alright, now that I have a tracer on Corey I just need to find Kyou or Cougar. Kyou is probably near water and Cougar could be anywhere.... I think I saw a spring earlier, I'll start there." When Kallen was out of sight Corey remembered something, a code used for the North, and scowled at the beautiful women for the very first time. Taking a step back he began to recall all of the powers of each individual within the immediate area and found a few that could explain this perfect woman. Now knowing something was up, he asked for the code, "What is the Northern General's real name?"

 

Black looked at his creation one last time, deciding that the fun was about to end, before warping to Destined, "You beckoned?"

 

"Well, guess Lana can handle one slave," Boridmor said to himself while acending the stairs, "Guess a Commander dealing with the comman slave is a bit crude."

 

Vera had stayed still until Bordimor had left, but once he was gone she spoke with the stranger and learned who he really was. She had indeed knew him and learned it was Alex, a lover of hers from long ago, and that was discovered with a single kiss. Before each could enjoy the other's company the echoes of Bordimor's steps could be heard and Alex placed his finger on her lips.

 

 

"Shhh! I have to go now, it would of been better if we could have spent more time together, but I suppose its not too be . . ."

 

"Wait!" Vera screamed in tears as Alex stood up and walked towards the window. He gave her a warm smile before leaping out, almost vanishing in midair, "Good-bye . . . for now my dear . . ."

 

Corgar, who was in the Medical Tent taking care of Eden, push him down for more rest. But Eden pushed away, "I don't need anymore rest. I'm fine . . . I just got a headache."

 

He winching both of his hands, rubbed his eyes, and tried to get the blood flowing again. He sighed as he just kept ignoring the pain, "Tell what happened? Why did I black out?"

 

"I don't know why you passed out, but I do know it's a bit worse than a headache, but I'm no doctor. Corey kinda is though," Cougar stated as he looked down at Eden with blatant honesty on his face. Hearing a small chuckle he looked over to see James heading towards him with Bellis' medical chart in his hands, leaving the other group across the room.

 

"Corey is a messanger. I am the doctor here."

 

[LuffyLaxer]

Tiberius looked at the girl who stopped the fighting with the guards. Tiberius watched as the guards backed off. Tiberius heard the guards whispering, which didn't make him feel any better. Tiberius then watched the girl simple boxing stance. 'A simple boxing stance huh?' Tiberius thought as he stared her down. 'That's why all her opponents underestimate her. She is a crafty one. But she underestimates me, because I'm beaten and bloodied. I'll show her. Even though this might be my end, I'm really excited to fight her.'

 

"So you are the one who is going to fight me," Tiberius stands straight up pointing at her. "I hear your good. It's to bad you played for the wrong side. My quarrel is not with you. But if it is a fight you want, It is a fight you shall have." With that, Tiberius shifted into his Wolf stance. One hand was near the ground, while the other was protecting his face. Tiberius then remember his manners and bowed to his opponent before getting back in his stance.

 

"I rather die with honor fighting you before that monster up there," Tiberius explained. "Forgive me if I seem a bit off."

[-Genesis-]

 

Akima followed Koya out of the tent yawning as he went. "So are we leaving yet?" He looked around, "You know, for a war-torn country it's still a beautiful place." He was staring off at the top of a hill...

 

Kallen was standing on top of a hill when she saw the spring, *Alright, Kyou's probably here somewhere.* She quickly and agily ran down to see Akima, Koya, Saul, the Professor, and someone she didn't know standing by a tree. Then she noticed something folded in a small pile near the waters edge. A closer look made it obvious that it was Kyou's robe. "What the hell is going on down here you perverts!"

 

Kyou smiled at the new information, "Ahh well then, welcome aboard." She then started to relax against the rock when she heard Kallen yell. *Hmm, what's going on?*

 

Cougar looked up at James and edited his statement, "Okay, well I guess this, is the doctor." He pulled his chair a bit farther back so that the doctor could get to Eden without interference.

 

Lana smirked at the slave, "Did you know if you talk in the middle of a fight it divides your attention and limits your abilities." She started hopping back and forth between her feet, slowly getting closer to the slave, "But if you know how to keep you focus while doing so then you can take advantage of their moment of distraction..." (The following words are accompanied by the appropriate action.) "... To use the full extent of your body and nail them in the face!" She smashed the slave full on in the side of the face drawing blood from both his cheek and his mouth as a cracking sound echoed through the hall. She quickly recoiled her arm and bounced back a bit to evade any unlikely counterattack.

[LuffyLaxer]

Tiberius head recoils and he falls down. Looking at his face, He sees blood. Tiberius wipes his face clean of it and gets up slowly. Then, he cracks his neck so loudly that Bordimor himself can hear it. Tiberius then looks at his opponent. 'I was right to not underestimate her,' Tiberius thinks on his attack strategy. 'She is a tough cookie. I hope I don't have to kill her. I think on the last of my Strength, I can get us both out of here alive. Damn the collar though.'

 

"Alright, let's go round 2," Tiberius says as he charges his opponent. Tiberius uses his technique to start punching rapidly around her body, making sure to get a couple of hits in every now and again. Then, Tiberius uses Lana's dodging against her and trips her up. Then he follows up with roundhouse to her face.

[Skippy Canoe]

Bellis accepted Yaming's hug after listening to what had happened to her.

 

"No you aren't. You don't even know me," she said in a sudden change of mood. Her heart skipped a beat, and she hiccuped. She thought of her past, and closed her watery eyes. Clearing her mind again, she sat up and reopened her eyes. She was being stared at as if she was an alien. Bellis exhaled when she saw that her skin was pale, instead of red. Her vision was still a little unfocused, and she struggled to notice small details. Hoping she was better now, Bellis tried to speak.

 

"Why was I sent here? Someone told me to go here, but I don't know why."

[Final Fantasy Revolution]

Schiver turned to Koya and smirked under his hood. "You must be Koya, eh. Alamos has said much about this team through the calm link. Says you guys are very strong and that you made up for my absence in the attack of the Western Fort quite well." Schiver said, giving Koya's group a battle compliment which, in Schiver's mind, was the greatest kind of compliment you could give a fighter. "I'll actually be helping you guys on this one, I apologize for my absences in the past." Schiver said, and then turned back to the professor. "What's the plan."

[Tempest Dahlia]

umm...

 

Destined turned to Black, Darren, and Kyba, speaking in a hushed, quick tone. "Listen, you three, and listen well. l hate repeating myself."

He leaned in closer. "Today is the day. Now is the time... to take the entire Southern Military by force," he said, grinning. "It will be a simple, quick plan that will have fatal results if we do not succeed. However, if we do it, we will be one step closer to dominitation..."

He looked around suspiciously. "Come closer..."

[Blake]

Back raised his eyebrows inquisitively. "Really? Today." He grinned. He felt that the timing was perfect, and Amanda could cause a distraction for some of the others. He was such a genius, even this was naught more than a fortunate side effect of his whim for mischief.

 

Amanda smiled as she looked at Corey. "Could you come with me?" She asked with pleading eyes. "I need to speak with you away from them." She grabbbed his hand and led him away. She saw the tracker when it had been put on. Black had made her the ultimate mischief causing seductress. She sensually moved, so that he would not know it was a tracker she was after. She dropped it on the ground as she led him away.

 

Saul looked up at KAllen, flat faced. "Perverts? What do you mean?" He asked, genuinely not understanding her accusation.

[Tempest Dahlia]

"Yes, today Black... and now," he said.

"So, l need a few things. A distraction to lure the heroes away until l can secure the position; a lookout, to ensure that no militants get in the way; and a strong hand to help me kill the general. He might be old, but l know he has something up his sleeve.... "

[Jake the Sage]

"Lana!" Bordimor said as he turned to leave, grinning over his shoulder, "No mercy for sub human creatures like that. Understood!?"

 

Tiberius looked at the officer as the guards whispering, which didn't make him feel any bette, and then watched her get in a simple boxing stance, "So, you're the one who is going to fight me?"

 

He shifted into his wolf stance. One hand near the ground, while the other one was protecting his face, but Tiberius then remember his manners and bowed to his opponent before getting back in his stance, "I rather die with honor fighting you before that monster up there."

 

"Did you know if you talk in the middle of a fight it divides your attention and limits your abilities?" Lana said smirking, she then started hopping back and forth between her feet, slowly getting closer to the slave, "But if you know how to keep you focus while doing so then you can take advantage of their moment of distraction . . . and quickly take them down!?"

 

As Lana had been speaking her fists flew quickly and smashed the slave full on in the side of the face, drawing blood from both his cheek and his mouth, as a cracking sound echoed through the hall. She quickly recoiled her arm and bounced back a bit to evade any unlikely counterattack. Tiberius' head recoiled and he fell down, dazed by the speed of the attack, and saw the blood dripping from his face. Getting back to his feet Tiberius looked at Lana, "I was right to not underestimate her . . . She is tought."

 

"Alright! "et's go . . . Round 2!" he yeleld and then charged; punching rapidly at her.

 

"Yes we did," Koya said walking out of the tent, having heard the last bit of the conversation. Schiver turned to Koya and smirked under his hood, "You must be Koya, eh? Alamos has said much about this team through the calm link . . . says you guys are very strong and that you made up for my absence in the attack of the Western Fort quite well."

 

Schiver gave Koya's group a battle compliment which, in Schiver's mind, was the greatest kind of compliment you could give a fighter. But he couldn't help notice the look of sorrow on Koya and Akima's face as he mentioned the Western Invasion, quickly he deicded to continue, "I'll actually be helping you guys on this one though! I apologize for my absences in the past. What's the plan?"

 

"We are going to pose as slaves while another team, lead by Kyou, infiltrates under the guise of wanting a treaty," Koya answered as they headed to the Professor. Amber was getting out of the sauna as Kyou smiled at the new information, "Ahh well then . . . welcome aboard."

 

"Alright . . . Kyou's probably here somewhere," she thought while quickly and agily running down to see a group of men heading towards the sauna; Saul and the Professor already there. Then she noticed something folded in a small pile near the waters edge. A closer look made it obvious that it was Kyou's robe, "What the hell is going on down here you perverts!"

 

"Hmm!? what's going on?" Kyou said getting out of the sauna, completely forgetting her 'appearance' and turned behind her to see Kallen completely red. Saul looked up at Kallen, who was standing behind Kyou, and asked, "Perverts? What do you mean?"

 

The situation then hit the Professor and Saul as Akima, Koya and Schiver arrived and saw the spectial. Looking down Kyou, Elizabeth and Amber suddenly realized they were not clothed and quickly dunked themselves under the water again. Only Amber remained above the water as she brazanly walked out, grabbed her robe, put it on, and walked over to the guys with her hands held out to them, "That'll be $100 each . . ."

 

"What is the Northern General's real name?" Corey asked, begining to second guess the woman's intentions. Unfazed, Amanda smiled as she looked at Corey. "Could you come with me? I need to speak with you away from them."

 

She grabbbed his hand andtried to led him away, but lost her grip as he smacked her hand away from him. She sensually moved as he stood scowling at her, "Answer."

 

"Corey is a messanger. I am the doctor here," James said as he looked through Bellis' medical chart in his hands, leaving the other group across the room. Cougar, "Okay, well I guess this . . . is the doctor."

 

"Doctor James managed to break your fever," Titanium said blankly as everyone smiled at her. Yaming was sitting on the side of the bed and gave her a friendly hug, which Bellis accepted after listening to what had happened to her, and she relieved that this stranger was alright, "We're glad you made it."

 

"No you aren't . . . you don't even know me," she said in a sudden change of mood; her heart skipped a beat and she hiccuped. Bellis exhaled when she saw that her skin was pale, instead of red, and her vision was still a little unfocused; she struggled to notice small details. Hoping she was better now, Bellis tried to speak, "Why was I sent here? Someone told me to go here, but I don't know why."

 

Josh scooted closer to Bellis and held her head against his chest, trying to calm her, "Why is anyone here? It's an answer that can't be answered by someone else. You have to answer it yourself."

 

Yaming smiled as Bellise looked up at Josh, confused and amazed at the same time, before resting her head against him. Yaming stood up and clapped her hands, "If you have no where to go. Then why not go to the North? We're on a mission right now, so being with us will be dangerous."

 

Destined turned to Black, Darren, and Kyba, speaking in a hushed, "Listen you three and listen well! Today is the day. Now is the time . . . to take the entire Southern Military by force!"

 

Back raised his eyebrows inquisitively. "Really? Today."

 

He grinned as Kyba and Darren got a small glint in their eyes, "It will be a simple, quick plan that will have fatal results if we do not succeed. However, if we do it, we will be one step closer to dominitation!"

[-Genesis-]

Lana smiled at the slave's' attempt to take her down as he seems to trip her up she curved herself farther and used her arms to flip herself flinging her legs up and over, rotating her onto her feet. Completely dodging the roundhouse kick. She smiled evilly at the slave, "Not bad, were you a soldier before a slave?" She took up a stance, but this time her right arm was held straight out diagonal down and the left was in a boxing position. A small current of electricity ran down the length of her right arm, so quickly that it seemed to be a reflection of the light or something.

 

Kallen glared at them, "Oh so all of you just happen to be at the edge of a spring where multiple women are currently bathing, hm?"

 

Akima realized what she was saying and what she meant, "Kallen, listen, we're not here for that... The Professor was here and we all just came because we needed to talk to him." He realized that he mat have saved himself and the others from Kallen's anger, but he'd just 'throw the Professor to the wolves'.

 

During all the commotion Kyou had gotten out of the water, put on her clothes and walked over, "In truth Kallen I asked to Professor to watch out for me and unfortunately they all came to see the Professor."

 

As James was taking care of Eden, Cougar stepped out to find Corey, *Where the hell is he? When I find him I gonna smash him a good one for ignoring his duties.*
