Black sat on the cliff, legs hanging in the air, above where Cirque de Masque's base was, ever since he had assumed leadership of the Cirque. All he wished for it was to prosper and live without issues. As he looked down, he knew that things were not going to be this peaceful anymore, because the next day, he knew the other groups were going to move. Nexus was going to repress the Verdin, the Verdin was going to go wild, and Test Tube Genesis was unknown. The calm before the storm was unnerving to him, as he stared at the sunset. He stood up, and released some of his abilities, but not to the full extent. His elbows, ankles, hat, and shoulders began to wisp. A small part was white in the wisping of his hat, and his collar turned red, but the rest remained black. He began to sink into the ground beneath him, and the ground darkened as he did such. [i]"Time to get back. The sunset on this day won't last forever."[/i] With that, Black was gone, and would be seen later in the base.

[Jake the Sage]

<I get second post XD>

[i]"So how are we going to get home if every things changed dad?"[/i] Jake's sword spoke to him as he wondered through the entirety of New Forum. He was the only one who could hear the sword speak via a kind of telepathy, but in truth the sword was not a sword; it was his step daughter in disguise, to ensure they would not be stopped for questioning. Stopping Jake looked up at the sky, the wind blowing through his hair, "Well Cirque Du Mask shouldn't be too hard to find . . . but don't you feel something is . . . off?"

[i]"Like what Jake?"[/i] the second sword asked, this one being an old friend of his called Nicolas. It wasn't something he could put his finger on it but as they continued to walk through the streets of New Forum it seemed as if something immense was about to happen; this bothered him more than anything.
[i]"Well you two lets get going before the sun is all the way down . . ."[/i] he told them mentally while turning his back to the setting sun and began walking to where he thought Cirque Du Mask's new base was.

[Ghoulish]

...

[El Make]

As the sun began to set on the horizon, two men sparred with each other, punching and kicking as if they were mortal enemies. They were Verdin men, of course (what other faction would catch themselves beating the crap out of each other?), men trained for brutal combat. Men trained to slaughter without guilt, taught to not be afraid to snap the neck of a enemy even if it cost him his life. The sparring area was out in open space, only gaurded by the 30 foot iron walls surrounding the entire structure the Verdin knew as home. It was a mass of metal and wood, peiced together by rough carpentry, threatening to break into peices if struck wrong. Overlooking the sparring pair was Tenkai Furen, gazing at them from behind a window made of tinted glass high above. Growing bored of the meaningless battle, he turned away from the pair and back to his desk, where some death threats lay scattered around.

"So pitiful... I wish they would just leave me alone," Tenkai grumbled as he brushed aside a strand of blue hair, "It's my men that slaughter like animals, I kill like a man. But in the end, I guess, the world views Verdin as beasts only wishing for a fight... And at this stage, I'm looking for a huge fight, a fight like no other... a battle to end all battles, where Nexus is finally taken down... I'll show them what the Verdin is made of... My army will march on New Forum, taking the lives of those bastards!" Tenkai slammed his fist into the wall, trying to let lose some of the rage building inside him. It was inevitable though, the battle between Nexus and Verdin, for they hated each other. Two armies raring to bring each other down, to end the other for good. At least it would be a good battle.

[Nexev]

Nexev sat at the ruins using his coat as a mat to sit one, he stared at the moon with a sigh. "The moon is so dreamy today isn't it."
[b]"Geeze, I would agree with you, IF I GOT SEE THE FU[i][/i]CKING THING!"[/b] A voice that sounded hauntingly eeire screamed back at him. "Oh hush, don't spoil this date." Nexev calmly said back.
[b]
"D...Date? You have to be joking if you think I like you."[/b] The voice hissed back.

"But I like you. You don't really have any options do you?" Nexev said teasingly back.

The voice had nothing to respond to that.

Nexev sighed, he saw the tension in the world, it was going to snap soon, he could only hope he can piece it back together. "Hope your hungry dear, cause allot of people are going to go seven feet under soon. People miss you, they are tearing themselves apart outtof longing." Nexev laughed and stood up.

[b]"Wait!"[/b] The voice cried back. [b]"Are you really retarded enough to try to do this?"[/b]

Nexev laughed, "I'll either bring you up here, or I'll go down there in a coffin, either way we will be together." Nexev put on his coat, letting it fly with the wind like a cape as usual. His happy attitude disappeared, his face a grim mask. "This goes out to all of you actors fighting your petty desires. This is your moment! This is your one chance to delude yourself that you are doing this for the worlds sake! Do not waste it. CAuse when I arrive, that moment is gone. Hope you don't like breathing, you will be parted of it for awhile." Nexev anounced loudly over a megaphone.

[Shadow Zero]

Shadow was walking through the streets of New Forum, occasionally greetings another of its citizens, but mostly keeping to himself and treading a book that he had as opposed actually watching where he was going, being that he knew the area he was currently in well enough. For some time now, there had been rumors of wars and he knew that there would soon be war. He wondered how it would affect the city, and just how much of it the war might end up destroying. This brought to mind a fanmade series based off of a video game that he had watched before where a war amongst the dons and panic as a result of an even greater threat resulted in mass destruction of an entire kingdom. Shivering at the thought, Shadow banished it and continued reading his book, coming to a stop at the corner of two streets.

[Sploda]

Creator stood up after using his Laser Drill on one of his Android Models. The Data from the last war had proven useful and his line of Black, Zero, and improved DMG Androids were progressing quickly. However his favorite was the not yet sentient PROTO Unit. It had been a hobby of his for sometime, he was working on a AI structure so similar to a human's that it was unprecedented and the first of it's kind. He sighed, and looked at the time.

"Nexev must be out with Glitch again... I wish he spent more time actually down here helping us, and by us I mean me, find a way to free Glitch. I can just picture the possibilities, because as everyone knows combat is the birth place of technology." Creator said talking to himself, he paused as if he was waiting for a response. "Well I didn't ask your opinion, but your right I'll go look." Creator said as if he had been answered.

Creator wandered for several minutes before hearing; "Cause when I arrive, that moment is gone. Hope you don't like breathing, you will be parted of it for awhile." Creator sighed, that was Nexev being overly dramatic as usual.

"I heard him, now will you pipe down, I look like I'm talking to myself." Creator said angrily as he approached Nexev with his hood up. He stopped just behind him, "Sir, we need you back at the Lab. The data from the latests tests are coming in and I think you should look at them." Creator lied. He just wanted Nexev away from people before any harm came to him or worse, to Creator himself.

[Phantom Roxas]

Roxas sat on a chair in his office, fiddling with a rubix cube as he thought of what he could do with the multiple factions that had caught his attention. As a Mod, he tried his best to ensure that even the simplest of news such as who was friends with who wouldn't avoid his ear. He wanted to recruit that acting troupe, Cirque de la Mask, since he sympathized with their goal of destroying the Glitch. Keeping the Glitch sealed was a success so far, but Roxas didn't want to run the risk of it escaping his prison. That led him to the next group, Test Tube Genesis. Roxas was grateful that Nexev had done what he could to advance New Forum, but Roxas shared the universal sentiment that Nexev was not someone worth trusting. He had heard of Verdin, but considered them nothing more than a nuisance that Nexus could repeatedly drive back. At least Verdin was something that could negotiate, but for whatever reason they chose not to.

Roxas left his office, looking at the few officers in the room. "Everyone," he announced. "If any of you have any contact with the Cirque de la Mask, notify them that we would like to make an alliance."

[Ghoulish]

Hyabusa stood in the room, leaning against the wall with his arms folded and eyes closed. As Roxas walked into the room, he opened his eyes and payed attention. the request for an alliance was not the least surprising, the 2 shared the same goal, it made sense. Hyabusa stepped forward with his arms to his side he walked a bit more forward and replied to Roxas. "I would gladly hike to the mask and offer the treaty." hyabusa said softly, although he didn't appear to be extatic over the task at hand, he was really hoping to be assigned it, he was one of the highest ranked in Nexus, he though this would be a suitable task. "If accepted, should i go alone?"

[Ultimate Assassin Ninjew]

Ninjew was kneeling down with his eyes closed, almost meditating but not. As he heard Roxas come in and speak he stood up to see Hyabusa offer his services. Ninjew was not very tall, but he looked very strong. His red spiked hair shown his fury for fighting and his hatred for others. "An alliance...sounds like more people will be around then. Why do we need more people? Surely we are strong enough to keep the Glitch sealed," he spoke. His red eyes sparked as his anger was obviously beggining to build even though his tone hadn't changed. Ninjew hated others and even hated Roxas, but he tried not to show it too much. He crossed his arms, waiting for Roxas to respond.

[Nexev]

Nexev patted Creator on the back "Your way to tense. You need to chill, I am the greatest scientist in the world right? Advanced the world by decades in a few months and stuff. Course you helped here in there. At this point anyone who killed me would be the most hated guy in the world in the eyes of the masses. All we have to worry about is retards. Don't tell me your afraid of a petty 70 IQ outsmarting you?" Nexev sighed. "You have no passion, you create merely to create. Your inventions will never reach the level of art like that you know." Nexev then headed to the lab. "So what were we testing anyway? Are you trying to cook or something?"

[Sploda]

Creator chuckled. "Last time I cooked you were in the hospital for a month. No the tests were on an odd stone that we had found on the outskirts of New Fourm. The readings indicate that they may have a connection to the seal." Creator explained. Nexev was an odd one but he was a incredible scientist and Engineer and for that he had Creator's respect. That was the only thing that had kept Creator from killing him.

"Also Nexev, Passion should be reserved for projects worthy of them. Remember I help you free Glitch and you help me become whole again. That was the deal." Creator said with a chuckle. He followed Nexev closely but stayed about two yards behind the edge of his cape.

"It would also seem that your forgetting that Nexus is watching us, I don't care how much we have done and how much Roxas trusts you, when they see us make our move there will be trouble."

[The Warden]

Broken was tinkering in his own little lab, okay, maybe it wasn't one of the better labs, but it was good enough. He was tinkering with an artifact collected on the latest dig. It was a cluster of floating crystals, which he had been chipping at for quite some time. Tired and annoyed, the chisel was casted away before he grabbed a seldgehammer. 'Bomb's away' he cried and struck it. His arms almost broke as the crystal stopped his assault, causing him to drop the hammer. 'You annoying SOB' he cried petulantly, annoyed at the indestructible crystal. 'Whatever' he sighed and grabbed the crystal, tossing it carelessly into a vault where all the other artifacts that had unknown properties resided. 'I wonder what the othrs are up to' he said and left his own lab.

[Fusion X. Denver]

Jaden had been exchanging blows with his sparring partner for a solid ten minutes now, with neither combatant having a clear advantage. His muscles ached and he was regretting asking Tenkai for someone to spar with as he need to train his physical strength. Especially since he sensed his leader's disapproving feelings on the matter. The opponent before him was quite good and forced Jaden to rely on strategies that didn't involve his swords, as this was a plain sparring match using one's fists. However, Jaden finally found a brief opening in the man's guard and immediately used his natural energy from his right arm to propel itself forward using the wind as a driving force into the man's chest. He stopped short of breath and then fell. Jaden bowed to his opponent, helped him up, and then freshened up in the locker room, a dingy place that was only cleaned sparingly once a month. Afterward, Jaden walked through the hallway and heard "-bastards!" and a bang on the wall. He rushed forward and saw his leader clearly peeved about something. "Sir...are you alright?"

[Andx]

Andx had been in Cirque's base most of the day. Black had been out and about, leaving Andx wondering when he might be coming back in. At the moment he was simply lying down in his Repede form, he liked the simplicity of thought the dog form provided, in his room with the door wide open in case someone needed to find him quickly. Now not all that long ago people would have only looked for him if they actually wanted to talk with him. Now they looked for him because he was partially in charge of the group. When Black took over he had moved Andx up in the ranks of the group so now Andx was used to people coming to him for various reasons. Of course he was still friends with the members of the group, some more than others.

As he sat he was thinking oddly enough as he usually had to try in his current form. He didn't often get alone time to just sit around so when he did he liked to relax and not constantly be thinking about dozens of things. But thinking about Black being out reminded him that Shadow had been out and that in turn got him wondering where the others of the group might be at the moment as well. So before he knew it he had multiple thoughts racing through his mind like usual. He almost got off to go look for someone just to see where they were but decided against it. He wanted to take all the time he could to relax especially if fighting was going to break out soon between the Verdin and Nexus. He wasn't sure what Black intended to do once it started but did know the overall goal of the group so guessing what Black might intend to do couldn't be that hard. Then he realized just how much he was thinking.
[i]"I'm thinking a lot, considering the form. Just try to relax a bit."[/i] Andx told himself. Despite his want to relax his mind he was almost hoping someone from the group would drop in soon.

[The D.M.]

Xowler sat in the Locker rooms staring intently at his right arm. The tattoo of Ouroboros engraved into his skin seemed to speak to him. It thirsted for the blood of the government officials and for the blood of the Gods. When Jaden came in to freshen up it reminded Xowler he was in the real world and not dreaming. He had already finished training earlier and he heart Tenkai's outrage at the same time Jaden did. So of course he went to investigate. "Something amiss Lord Tenkai?" Xowler asked

[El Make]

Tenkai glanced up, seeing Jaden and Xowler staring at him. His white hair shaded his eyes, hiding the slight embarassment in them.
[i]That's one of the few times my men have seen me mad like this... damn I hate this, I'm supposed to be calm, yet sometimes.... ugh...[/i] Tenkai lowered his fist, brushing aside the hair in his eyes.

"You two, nothings wrong. Just a little... frustrated at Nexus. I haven't had the best of luck with them in my younger days... anyways, Jaden, finally finished that sparring eh? I'm supprised, I didn't really expect you to win... but hey, you can't always be right. As for you Xowler, you know I don't like being called 'Lord'," Tenkai said with a frown, "It makes me feel... Nexus-ish. But enough small talk, I'm glad you two arrived... I wanted to speak with a few of my more trustworthy men, and you people will suffice." Furen gripped the hilt of his sword, unsheathing it in a smooth motion. The blade seemed to liquify, then the hilt morphed as well, the end result producing a pair of swords. Tenkai flicked one of the swords up, a wild gust of wind closing the door behind Xowler and Jaden, and at the same time carrying them into the room more. The sword morphed back into the original form, and was sheathed as Tenkai walked over to his desk and layed out a rough sheet of paper.

"This here is some info I recently aquired. It's a map of New Forum, detailing its advantages and disadvantages. You see here?" He said, pointing to a corner of New Forum's walls, "Right here is a weak point. Barely any guards reside here, and even then barely anything reinforces the wall. I'm thinking we can easily break through this section and invade the city... from there on out is were I need a plan... Any ideas? Comments?"

[The D.M.]

Xowler looked at the point of weakness. "If it's a small team...maybe a two man squad at tops...Stealth operatives of course...We could plant explosives within the wall and systematically take it down. Thereby allowing our forces a big enough diversion to not only Attack Nexus but Wound them critically. If we get enough men into the New Forum we'll be able to attack the Capital Directly" He said pointing out directions from the Corner all the way to the Center of Nexus assuming the wall was destroyed from Explosives. "But the Explosive Planting would Require a two man team...Both Stealth operatives like myself. And at least one of which can make an instant escape if things get bad" Xowler explained cooly. "Unfortunatley im not familiarized with the Verdin enough to make a call on which operatives would be best suited to plant the bombs."

[Jake the Sage]

[i]"Man I don't think I can walk any longer!"[/i] Lora complained out loud, causing a few people of New Forum to advert their gazes from Jake as he continued to walk through the streets; after all a woman's voice apparently coming form a man's body wasn't something you'd see even in this dimension. Shaking his head he eyed the sword that contained her spirit and lowly muttered to her, "What are you complaining about? You're in sword form for heavan's sake, you don't [i]have[/i] legs!"

[i]"I know but- Oh look!"[/i] she yelled and the sword shook to point in front of the three. Sighing Jake looked up to saee the main building headquarters for Cirque Du Mask and couldn't beloieve after all this time he was home. With renewed vigor he raced up the steps of the building and quickly swung open the doors, "I have returned!"

Looking around at the empty room Jake was half expecting to hear a kricket chirping for comedic purposes. Stepping inside he removed the large bags from his bag, placed them on the ground, and threw Lora and Nic into the air where they reverted into human form, "So . . . where is everyone?"

[Lust the Lascivious]

"something seems off today but I cant place my finger on it" I said walking through the streets and glancing at each person passing by. I may be new to this palce but I can tell if some thing bad is going to happen and it seems like it will. Thankfully I already have some people who will be willing to look after me if things get bad - a group that called themselves verdin. Even if Im a part of a group I still get the feeling of shivers at the thought of fighting. Why did I always have to end up fighting when I didnt want too? Stopping I turned to the right and walked into a coffee shop called 'the yellow rose' and sat down on one of the stools before answering the waiter, "Id like a glass of green tea please ..."

[The True Ace Attorney]

Sitting on the floor in a room outside of Roxas' office, Edo sat silently, fiddling with a small, shining knife. Rolling the thing blade between his fingers, he sat in silence. He and some others were waiting for Roxas to tell them something. As the door to Roxas' office opened up, Edo looked up. Roxas made a small announcement that Nexus was now seeking an alliance with the Cirque de la Masque.

Despite Edo's lack of wanting an alliance with anyone, there was often a lot of compromise which usually cuts most of the ideals that the suggesting party hold, he understood why this alliance would help. Considering that Both groups had the same general goal there would be little to compromise and given the others that oppose both groups, an alliance would help extraordinarily, unless both TTG and Verdin forged an alliance.

Standing up and approaching Roxas as Hyabusa put hmiself forward as a candidate to send a message to the Cirque. Saluting Roxas, he had a thing for formality, he spoke boldly, not wishing to be ignored. "Excuse me sir. I also wish to take part in this. While I do not doubt Hyabusa's strength or allegiance, I believe that should several people take part, it increases the chance of success, especially given the current climate with the rebel group, Verdin."

[Fusion X. Denver]

Jaden listened fervently to Xowler's plan and piped up, "Perhaps I can help there. My affinity with wind helps to disguise sound, our movements would go about undetected to those of normal perception. Furthermore, I can set off a bomb from a distance simply by using a lightning bolt. I don't know how speedily I could make an escape, but I think I can move quickly using the wind. There may be someone better suited to the task, but if we need to enact this plan out soon, then I'm willing to help."

[Nathanael D. Striker]

Itaku heard the announcent loud and clear. [i]It seems that we may work with Black. I still don't think he knows I'm alive.[/i] He walked slowly into the room where everyone was meeting. He took a deep breath and began speaking. "I know that the Clique will be a good choice to align with, however, I think that we should see what their course of actions are first." Itaku remembered the conflicts he and Black had. He also remembers the close calls he had with his leader, Roxas. If anyone knew that he was the forgotten one, Striker, he would have a huge target on his back. "Anyway, I'm going to grab something to eat, anyone want to join me?" Itaku had changed from his old self. He is more inviting and more caring even though he is still a bit cocky at times. He knows that is something that he can't change. [i]This war is going to be a long one. I hope that I do better this time or else my life will be on the line.[/i]

[The D.M.]

Xowler nodded. "With your permission sir i can blend in flawlessly with the city...i can find the ideal places to put the Bombs while maintaining my cover." Xowler took a deep breath and continued, "With your permission i would like to enter the city seperatley from Jaden. He could work quietly and seperatley from me while we find the bombing areas. If we are seen entering together it would raise suspicions from Nexus." Xowler explained with his Black Ops training speaking for him. "I can go into the city first and Jaden can follow exactly 48 hours later. I can maintain my cover as a Bodyguard...i happen to have credentials that would work in my favor."

[Phantom Roxas]

Roxas nodded at Hyabusa. "If you want to go alone, then that's fine. You're one of my finest soldiers, but you still need to be careful. Even with your Tryabusa, you can't tell what kind of enemies you'll end up against." Roxas turned to Ninjew. Roxas only valued Ninjew for being another soldier of Nexus. Other than that, Roxas felt that Ninjew was an arrogant little punk "We can handle the Glitch, yes, but I have my worries about it escaping. Should we arrive at the worst case scenario, we may have to resort to destroying it, and I believe the Cirque could assist us with that. Not only that, but we need someone to help us with those blasted Verdin."

Taking notice of Edo approaching as well, Roxas smiled. "We may be the government patrol, but you don't need to be formal with me. Hyabusa, considering your abilities, I trust that Edo shouldn't be troublesome at all. Just one companion should be enough, correct?" When Itaku made his argument, Roxas sighed. He was feeling a bit overwhelmed with all the people approaching him before he could have a chance to respond. "Worry not, Itaku. Hyabusa and Edo can take care of themselves, but just in case, I'll send my Flygon as both an additional faster and a fast messenger." Roxas held out his hand as red and white energy surrounded it until a green dragon appeared in front of him. "I have reports that I must attend to. Hyabusa, Edo, you have your orders."
