YCM: The Roleplay

[Jake the Sage]

"You're awfully 'near it' now. How would I know you hadn't just come from the tower?"

"Oh well I guess you couldn't," Chibi Lora replied honestly, a bit embarrassed, and gave another polite bow. The truth was since she was summoned after the fact the only proof she had was whatever memories Lora had of it, which wasn't a lot. She had no physical proof that JoshIcy had attacked them, since he and everything he owned disappeared, and they're words seemed to not be doing any good. Pika then continued on, insulting each one of them, and called Chibi Lora a 'little kiss ass' which finally rubbed the summon the wrong way. Pika cocked her head, her bangs falling over her eyes, "And somehow you all think I'm the most suspicion one in this group? Other then a logo on a bomb, an obvious frame job, I don't see where you guys get off blaming the staff for this . . ."

"Now look here miss high and mighty," Chibi Lora said floating right up to the Mod and frowned at her, never actually showing any real anger, "Even if you [i]are[/i] a Mod you have no right to insult any of us. No one is blaming you personally for this so stop thinking like that. JoshIcy DID attack a member of our group and nearly killed my dad . . ."

"Ah! That's it!" Chibi Lora said, her expression changing instantly, "If we showed you the person who fought against JoshIcy would [i]that[/i] convince you we had nothing to do with the bomb going off, since it happened at the same time?!"

<OOC: Yeah sorry didn't notice that ^^ Thanks for pointing it out though>

[Final Fantasy Revolution]

Vayne nodded as the man took a few steps closer to the small group. Nashiki suddenly wrapped him in darkness and more and more of it flowed to keep him there. We don't need to fight him, just force him back into that room he came from! FFR's mind should do the rest but you have to hurry before he breaks loose." Nashiki said and Vayne surrounded Loras body in energy. "Hit with something strong enough to throw him through that wall again." ,Vayne said then waited for her to act.

[Jake the Sage]

Lora got an uncharacteristic grin on her face. She had been worried about her father right all this time . . . so right now pounding some random dude through a wall sounded like the perfect stress relief. With the energy piled ontop of her own Lora could feel more power than she'd thought possible her weilding at one time, but it didn't unnerve her in the least, in fact she enjoyed it at the moment. [i]"So all I have to do is knock him through that wall hu? Something powerful . . ."[/i] she thought before thinking of the technique she could use. It was a move her dad had created after he learned two specific moves, but she'd seen it so many times it'd be a good imitation. Clenching her fists she bolted in front of the man and began swinging her fists fast enough to create sonic booms, "Ammano Amori Ken!"

With each super sonic blow that landed Lora used the 'Mastery of Two Layers' to influct even more damage before sending the final blow rapidly at the enemy.

[Final Fantasy Revolution]

The dark chains were starting to shatter but thankfully Lora reacted by appearing in front of the man and unleashing a severely devastating string of attacks, the last one being enough to send the man right through the hole he made with Vaynes body. A giant iron gate slammed down over the wall, sealing it again. "There we go, everything back to its place." Nashiki said but then suddenly faded away. FFRs chained body was also missing. Vayne grabbed Loras shoulder and they were both now back into the apartment. A subtle ring was heard as Vayne picked up the universal messenger that FFR carried. "We're wanted at the grand tournament building, but it can wait." Vayne said, thinking of Jakes health.

[Super Chaos Sonic]

Chaos was still rocketing towards Atman, until he stopped in mid air, starting to be low on energy. [i]Surprising that you can't just keep going Chaos.[/i] Night's spirit said. Chaos sighed and said,"Yeah...but it feels like I'm not going anywhere. With these ruins getting more and more frequent, this place is becoming a place more harder to travel around." He descended fro the sky and sat on a small piece of a building. He reverted from his Hyper Dying Will mode and said,"Seriously, if the mods don't ban me...this whole traveling thing will definitely kill me." Night chuckled and said,[i]True, but I doubt that would be the case. You can make it through anything, Chaos![/i] Chaos nodded, but didn't know what else to do. The Vongola HQ was destroyed, his friends were no longer in sight, and he felt like there wasn't anything left to save. Chaos sighed again and looked up at the sky. [i]"Atman...please know what you're doing..."[/i] Chaos thought as he looked at the sky.

[Catterjune]

Our young dark haired TCG mod raised a brow, but still smirked. Seeing Chibi Lora get all up in her face was missing a certain lack of intimidation. Perhaps her adorableness, or her high pitched voice, something about it completely wiped away any fear she intended to instill, regardless of her words, which were spot on. Nevertheless, to the young lady it seemed more like a small child throwing a temper tantrum then a eloquent young lady trying to expressing a point. Because of this, Pika merely smirked as she spoke.

"Right, you're all members of this board. So am I. I expect to be treated with the same respect you 3 are given." Her eyes turned Candyman. "NOT being assaulted when my back is turned." Then turning to 6 Shot. "NOT being accused of heinous crimes."

She crossed her arms across her petite chest, a smug 'holier than thou' stance to her. "JoshIcy? Attacking someone?" It seemed they had gotten the girls attention with that. "A mod wouldn't attack someone on their own. There must have been a reason."

She turned to Candyman. "Perhaps someone got a little too hotheaded for their own good, accusing Josh of needless things or attacking him."

Her eyes turned to Six Shot, but she was still speaking to Chibi Lora. "Or maybe your father was a trouble maker. Maybe he had a bad moderation history, full of all kinds of questionable crimes and his latest one, however petty seeming it was to you, was just the claw that stroke the camel's sack."

She smirked, running a hand through her hair. "Getting information from someone who went directly against a moderator is most likely not going to be of much help. Most people I've seen always got an excuse... up their sleeve." she smirked, thinking of her own. "Nevertheless, I'm not a fan of standing near this smoldering crater, and there does seem to be an investigation worth doing. I suppose it wouldn't hurt to get your father's recollection of the account."

"Lead the way."

[Serenity the Candyman]

"I dont care what you think or how you say you were "framed," I will prove to YCM that YCMaker and his "mods" were the one that did this to them. I wont kill you today, but I will kill you for your evil deeds here at YCM." Serenity said as he began to walk away from everyone else. Justice will be served but right now, Serenity needed to go and think this through. After all, charging in blind isn't going to help him any. [i]I will have to go and research every single one of those "mods" and find out what makes them weak. Justice will have to wait for now, but it WILL come.[/i] Thinking back to that small little...thing that was defending him and trying to reason with the "mod" was on the same level as the "mods". [i]People like that will also need to be removed. Yes they will! That thing must be in with the "mods", that is the only reason why the "mod" would listen to her.[/i]

Turning around, Serenity pointed his finger at the Little thing and fired off little bits of candy from his finger at her. He couldnt kill the "mod", but he certainly could kill that.

OOC: No worries, I'm doing quite fine. :DD

He found the argument quite ridiculous. Obviously, Pika was outnumbered by her opposition, and they were all barely understanding reason because of their hatred for moderators altogether. The main problem was the man with the mask and robe. He had a certain threatening way about him, and he obviously had a short temper. The smaller one was apparently some sort of clone or device that represented another person. Quite interesting. Of course, Beata tried not to think much into it. He was still soaring because of the THC he just smoked, and he was going to be for a good while, but that didn't stop him from being able to think clearly. He saw the man named Serenity raising his hand towards the Lora Chibi and shooting what seemed to be candy from his fingers. Beata knew something was clearly up with this man. He ran straight for the small chibi and scooped her up and out of the way of the candy. "Can't be eating that." He remarked, stopping only ten feet away from Serenity. He put the chibi down and drew his knife again.

[Catterjune]

"Attacking a fellow member, trying to erase the only lead we have to get to the bottom of this? This absolutely can NOT stand." Her patience had grown thin. She spoke with a notable anger to her voice.

Her banhammer came off her cute red and white belt and onto her left. "You're out of line!" she swung it at Candyman's general direction, an action which, if you remember from the bio, increases his warn by some percent. I think it was 20, but reducing it to ten percent increase is fine too.

As the warn increase was a ranged attack, she could do it with a decent amount of distance between them before closing in and finishing off with a ban, should it come to that.

He may have been good at launching surprise attacks against the girl, and picking himself off after a thundershock attack, but it was unlikely he'd be able to stand up against the both her and Beata, especially with Pika not trying to merely defend herself, but actually physically attacking.

[Serenity the Candyman]

"I think I have had enough you! Time to say GoodBye!" Serenity said as he began to prepare his stomach. "How can you just decide whose actions are worth punishing and others are not? Especially after what I have scene Today? You have no right to determine whether my actions are good or not. In my mind, I am right and you are wrong. So who is right?" He mostly said this to allow his stomach to open, but nonetheless it was true. "Now it is time!" When Serenity said this, a massive Vortex-Like Suction appeared to sucking in those that Serenity to be gone. Trees and rocks that were in the way had no chance and were gone in an instant. [i]It wont kill them but they wont ever be able to leave, exiled forever in the Dimension. A fate worse than Death.[/i]

[Catterjune]

She decided against making a "witty" line about how much Candyman sucked, but she'd have to save it for another time. She felt the strong, vaccuum like strength pulling her down, as she fell to the ground. She quickly planted her hammer, "claw side down", into the ground to prevent herself from creeping closer.

"You've been given every chance to defend yourself and your actions. I've been more then patient with you and all you've done."

T'was time to activate her last skill, her literal trump card. She reached into her sleeve as the card spun in midair, ignoring the suction of the the vortex.

"Activate trap! Solemn Judgment!"

A green glow surrounded the girl, as she raised her hand in as though giving off a solemn declaration. The vortex slowed, before finally ending. However, those who paid attention could tell the girl was clearly greatly fatigued at the use of her trump card. A notable tiredness, sweating, and panting profusely.

She staggered, trying to keep herself off. "Death is too fine a punishment for you." An awkward spin of her banhammer, she only just barely caught it.

A quick swing, followed by another 2. His warn level would go up by 30, followed by the previous 10 for a total of 40 (assuming Josh hadn't inflicted anything, once again, I haven't read that far behind.)

I assume since your access to YCM is limited the higher your warn level is, logically in the RP an increased warning level would limit your movement, your strength, and other such things. *shrug* IDK.

Since banhammer bans needed to be done at pointblank range, it seemed she'd need to get closer to finish the job. A laboured breathing from the girl as she maneuvered her way to Candyman.

(OOC: I assume if she bans you, you could try to come back with an alt. I dunno. >_>)

[Serenity the Candyman]

Shutting off the Vortex, Serenity hated being hit with Warnings from first JoshIcy, then now Pika. If he didnt stop now, he would for sure be Ban without dishing out the Justice that was needed."I will finish this on another Day, until then...." Serenity said as he turned around and walked off away from the scene and from Pika, whose getting closer by the minute to ban him. [i]I have to find a way to prevent the Warnings so I can unleash the Justice needed here at YCM. First, I need a plan to escape before she gets to me.....I got it.[/i] Turning around to face Pika, he smiled and snapped his fingers. When his fingers snapped, his entire body exploded it millions of tiny pieces of Candy. When these Candies hit the ground, they sunk into the ground as though the they were being absorbed. When all the Candy was absorbed by the ground, the pieces reconfigured into the shape of a drill and made its way underground with anybody on the surface being able to Detect its whereabouts.

OOC: <Look, I hate to be a prick and stuff, but for God's sake, the ability to heal yourself, explode yourself, turn into a drill, etc? You have some pretty interesting, and tbh, very unbalanced powers. I mean, like I said, I hate to be a prick, but I've been rping like this for about 5 years. You're kinda borderline godmodding.>

Beata sheathed his kuriki and picked up his bag. The euphoria still clouded his vision and his sense of touch, but he could function. He walked back over to Pika, keeping his voice calm, polite, and collected. "Something is up. I assume you have some knowledge about this whole shitstorm. I don't want to be some way, but I'd like a few answers." He noticed she looked a little worn out from her somewhat short bout with Serenity. He kept in mind, she was still a mod, and as far as he was concerned, she could turn on him any moment. Although, something else told him she wouldn't. He offered his hand as a sort of symbol of trust "Beata Persequenda. Assuming you didn't already know that." He said, though he hoped he didn't come off any way. He had no clue who the mods knew of and who they didn't.

[Jake the Sage]

"T-Thank you," she replied collapsing back onto the couch. She had used more energy than she'd estimated and it wipped her nearly out. She was still concious but it'd take a bit for her to be able to stand and move about without some assistance. Looking up at Vayne she raised an eyebrow and asked the question that was on her mind, "So what [i]was[/i] that back there? Were we in Final's mind or something?"

[hr]

Chibi Lora listened as Pika spoke, mentioning that she also needed to be shown respect as well, which was understandable. Though it seemed they'd gotten her attention with explaining JoshIcy had attacked Atman for no reason, resulting in his fight with Jake, she turned the suspicion on the injured party by stating he probably 'had it coming'. Chibi Lora attempted to explain to the Mod that Atman had done nothing prior to being struck with the banhammer or Jake until he had to fight back, but it was useless as she didn't pay attention.

Luckily she did find everything worth checking out and told Chibi to lead the way. But before they could set out Serenity began to chasish Pika once more, ruining the fragile understanding she'd worked to achieve. Then out of now where she'd been scooped up by Beata and avoided being shot by Serenity, "Wha!?"

A quick battle ensued, leaving Serenity fleeing, and Chibi had no idea what to do now. Resting on Beata's shoulder she merely let a few tears flow from her eyes in disappointment, "That could've gone better . . ."

[Desu the Blue Nerd]

Michael let out a sigh. He was getting annoyed that he hadn't really gotten a word in. They wouldn't shut up for five seconds. What really annoyed him was that by just asking a simple question about if Pika knew who could have been the maker of the bomb it turned not only to a complete defense case for her but also a few insults and now they were fighting. Quite frankly he wanted to get this settled and go home before any possible side effects from his pills kick in.

"Stop Now! This fight is stupid and pointless. Trust me. I know stupid and pointless fights. Pika I never blamed you so stop being such a damn bi***. Candyman you stop being such a damn moron! All we really have to go with is that Josh went pretty much insane and a few things are off. Quite frankly I don't know how I'm the only one to conclude that this is mods. Pika...please tell me this isn't some sort of conspiracy...or I'll blow us all up." Michael set a foot on and pointed a finger to the bomb. "I managed to fix this thing up. I can detonate it at any time I want. If this thing can bring down the card maker tower then imagine what it'll do to your body. Now I want some answers. I'm sorry about doing this but the only thing we have to go with are the mods." It was a bluff but Michael had a good poker face. Even if he never played poker.

['tyleR]

Beata became annoyed at the little outburst from Michael, a man whom he didn't even know. Apparently, the bomb that was once a dud had been fixed. He was too skeptical, even for his own good, probably. The chibi girl crying on his shoulder would probably sent into a fit if he went through with what he was about to do, and he would probably be smacked by Pika, but he'd be fine with all that. He took out his kuriki and looked at Michael. "First of all, damn you for trying to force such things with empty threats. Things would go over much more smoothly if you hadn't of decided to be such a dumbass." He remarked.

Then he took aim with his kuriki at the bomb. "So, you're telling me, if I throw my kuriki at the bomb right there, it'll blow us all to hell, because you managed to fix it? And where exactly did you find the parts for such a thing? People don't just carry around the technical things needed to rig up a dudded bomb. So either you tell me the truth, or I throw my kuriki at that dud, and then I shoot you for lying." There was a slight chance the man was not lying, and that was the problem with his plan. He figured, though, how can he be sure without taking a chance.

[Final Fantasy Revolution]

Vayne, who was sitting on the floor rather than in a seat with his legs crossed, sighed and closed his eyes at Lora's question. "His name is Jisan Letriyo." Vayne then opened his eyes as he was going to explain who he actually was. "I don't really know much about him, but like me and Nashiki he's also a creation of FFR's mind so that FFR can fight and help his friends. FFR, himself, is well...severely weak. So he first took the image of me and used his own magical prowess to create a chamber for me inside his soul. Next we apprehended Nashiki but something went wrong when FFR went to take Jisan and bring him into his soul. Jisan's own personality and prowess stepped into play and he started to fight back; wanting to be his own being. Of course he transformed into both me and Nashiki during that fight to apprehend him." Vayne said and then lifted his head up to look at Lora. "To this day I'm the only one fully willing to serve FFR, Nashiki has her doubts and well...Jisan...you saw." Vayne explained.

[Catterjune]

(OOC: I kept mistaking Six Shot for a girl, because he has that girl from Angel Beats center stage in his Avatar. I tried to proofread it, but if I say "her" too many times, in reference to Six Shot/NoBeginning/Michael and it doesn't make sense, assume it was a typo I didn't see. >_>)

"P-PikaPerson01. TCG mod." She responded to Beata's introduction. She was still notably a tad winded and out of breathe, but she seemed well enough to stand. Not noticing Beata's outstretched hand, she pinched the edges of her skirt and bent at her knees in a bow, curtsying.

"I doubt this fight is over..." she began, looking down at the spot the 'million' pieces of candy had fallen. She prepared a card up her sleeve, to be unleashed when the time was right. If she predicted it well enough, she was sure she'd finally have slowed Candyman enough to block his next attack, give her enough time to increase his warn up to 100, stopping him right in his tracks, and ending his life with a quick banhammer to the head.

But before she could gather her wits and catch her breathe, it seemed Six Shot was making threats and demands now. She claimed to have fixed up the dud bomb, and was ready to set it off.

She laughed at the vague and empty threat, but seemed to put on a more serious face when Beata began his own threats.

"That's enough, really. That bomb Six Shot brought, while being a useless hunk of junk, is still... exceedingly important."

(OOC: And before I begin this, I'm sorry if you had different plans for it. >_>)

"Being a mod has... certain perks that a normal member would be unable to detect. Not to make you all swell up with jealousy but... here, have a look."

Taking a step towards Six Shot, Pika quickly extended her banhammer. So quickly in fact, Six Shot may have been frightened or startled enough to assume Pika was about to strike him down. However, Pika had another idea. "Touch the tip." she blinked, noting how terrible and awfully worded that sounded in hindsight. "Or like... anywhere... Just don't try jerking it out of my hands." She blinked, noting that also sounded bad, but let it go.

If Six Shot didn't, she shrugged and responded with "Or don't", put the hammer back into it's holster, and then continued on with the rest of this explanation. If Six Shot followed suit, she... continued on with the next section, except temporarily letting him see a few unseen things.

"Other than being able to see hidden cities and secret forums, there is one other advantage. Seeing someone's warning level." She motioned towards Beata and Chibi Lora, and towards a rather hard to see bright red number that seemed inside the ground and incredibly far away, spinning.

"Or in this case... some[b]thing's[/b] warning level..." She motioned towards the bomb, reading 100% warning.

"Now," If Six Shot did put his hand on the banhammer when Pika motioned for him to take it, she suddenly pulled the hammer back, returning it to it's holster. Any temporary "mod vision" Six Shot received was gone in a flash. "As you're aware, only a banhammer can increase warning levels..." She could tell that mentioning that would perhaps cause them to turn on her, so she spoke the next part rather quicker then her typical "laid back" style.

"So then, if JoshIcy was around the area, delivering warnings, it is possible the increase may have come from him. Secondly, and slightly more importantly, if he were swinging it about recklessly and in a haphazard fashion, so as to increase the warning of common items laying about, I suppose one could draw the conclusion there was some malice afterthought in his actions."

She put her hand to her chin, thinking it over thoroughly. "I suppose one could draw the conclusion that JoshIcy was around here swinging his banhammer about. The only other conclusions I could draw from this seem far too far fetched. The first explanation, a mod may have stumbled upon it and attempted to disable it, but it would be unlikely to not have gotten a warning message about such a thing. The second explanation..." namely, that the mod team was behind it all, though she didn't say it out loud to avoid sowing more seeds of discontent among the masses. "is equally as unlikely, for other worthwhile reasons."

"I suppose it's worth investigating more into what transpired here."

And ending her post like she did a little over ten posts earlier, she turned to Chibi Lora.

"Lead the way."

[Jake the Sage]

Lora wasn't too suprised with what Vayne was telling her. After all she had seen her own father using arcane magic to bring his creations to life, thus the seemingly endless supply of workers whom roamed in the high tech division of their home. Though none had gone rouge specifically, each had their own personality and even they did attack once in a while. But a creation going rogue from the get go sounded ify, but the teenager was too tired to raise the question. Leaning back her head rested on the soft couch as her mind drifted . . . wondering about her father and his well being, [i]"Its probably been over an hour now . . . why hasn't Andrew or Katie come back to tell me dad is okay?"[/i]

[hr]

"Oakie dokie," Chibi Lora said happy to see hte situation hadn't gotten any worse and floated off of Beata's shoulder in front of the entire group. Bowing gracefully she looked up with a grin that could melt the Grinch's heart and began speaking, "Now if you'll just follow me I remember were daddy is exactly!"

With that blue light surrounded the paper golem, transforming her into what could be mistaken as a Legend of Zelda pixie, and zoomed off just fast enough that they'd make a good pace getting to their destination.

[Final Fantasy Revolution]

Vayne had noticed Lora's worry and wanted to comfort her, unlike Nashiki, Vayne's emotions were quite alive and he had numerous comrades before so he knows at least a little about comforting people. "You shouldn't worry. As I recall from FFR's memories your father was very injured when you and Nashiki arrived here so it'll probably take a little bit longer then expected for him to recover." Vayne said and then looked at her again with a smile. "He's probably done getting better and is just sleeping!" Vayne said, trying to make Lora feel better.

[Jake the Sage]

<OOC" Long ass post is long 8O Decided to show what [i]I[/i] had to go through to get healed up.>

"Dad's been very badly injured and we need to get him into isolation and have his vitals stabalized before it's too late," Lora had told Andrew and Katie once they had responded to her. Leaving their posts Andrew and Katie walked into the transport unit and were sent into the main apartment, opening the door to see Final Fantasy and Lora holding a critically injured Jake. More solemn than ever Katie didn't even look over as she spoke to her partner, "What could have happened that'd leave him in such a state?"

'Well find out when he wakes back up, but for now lets just get him to the ICU."

They walked up beside their unconcious master before picking him up, blood trailing as they carried him to through the transdimensional door and all the way to the medical room. while they had been carrying Jake many of the other patrons began to offer assistance and were greeted by the same reply each time, "We'll let you know if there is anything you can do to help."

Unfortunately there wasn't many people in their ranks that knew healing procedures, leaving Andrew the go-to-guy for this risky situation. Assessing the situation he had Professor Bill give him a report on what was injured, hoping not to be given 'a lot' as an answer. Looking over Jake's body Bill's face soured with each passing second, "Massive loss of blood, muscular damage with entire bones broken beyound repair. His nerves are also burnt resulting in complete and total loss of senses in multipule parts of his body, including smell and touch. It's a suprise he is still alive."

"Of course he's still alive! Now all we have to do is bring him back into conciousness," a female voice called from behind as Yaming walked into the room wearing full scrubs. Luckily Katie had sent a message out a while ago for Yaming to return, for another reason all together, but her timing couldn't've been better. As the greatest healer of any character Jake'd created she had the skills needed to heal him. A mere glance at Jake's face and she knew what to do first, "Get Noelle in here and freeze the entire room. Table, walls, ceiling, even the floors! He isn't risking bleeding to death, but his body's temapture is too high and his blood is [i]boiling[/i] away . . ."

Within minutes Noelle had entered the room, freezing it complete oyver, and even aided in reducing Jake's core body tempature until there was no more risk of evaporating blood. The next couple hours were difficult, having to call in people and dismiss them once they had achieved a certain adjective, but they were making progress slowly. They had no idea within this timespan Lora had a small adventure of her own. Bones where the first to be mended, a common practice for Yaming, and then they had to swap out destroyed internal organs. We wont say exactly where they came from, but you can bet people woke up in seedy motel bathrooms in tubs of ice. New lungs and other organs in place Yaming was having trouble fixing the damaged nerve endings. Unsure how to procced she broke a few rules, calling outside dimensional support in the form of a Rurouni Kenshin character known as Enishi Yukishiro; a man whose nerves had been trained to perfection. With his aid the healer had been able to repair most of his nerves back and quickly finished undoing the damaged muscles and skin.

Now placed in a biocontainment unit, gratefully "borrowed" from the Dragonball Universe, hours slipped by as they waited for him to wake up. Watching the moniters Andrew looked up as he heard Katie's voice, "How is he doing?"

"All in all he's back to normal. Yaming couldn't completely repair his nerve endings so from time to time he'll loose his sense of smell," Andrew explained adjusting the symbiotic liquid which was leeching any harmful residue from Jake's body. Katie gave a sigh of relief, if loosing his sense of smell every so often was the worse thing to come out of this then they truly had acomplished a miracle. What was even better was knowing it'd be harder to push Jake this far a second time, "So . . ."

"I've had Corey do a ESP scan of his memories, apparently he fought a Mod named JoshIcy and ended up loosing control of his body," Andrew said answering the unsaid question.

"So have you ever met him?"

"Not personally, but Jake has spoken of him many times. Apparently he was a good man if he only would stop complaining all the time," Andrew clicked a couple more buttons and elated at the fact this Saiyan technology worked so well after the trials it had been put through. [i]"Jake always did like the saiyan,"[/i] Andrew thought as he stepped back, [i]"I suppose its a good thing he coppied their ability to get stronger after each fight. Otherwise he'd long be dead by now. But still . . . to be pushed this far-"[/i]

"-rew"
"-ndrew"
"Andrew!"

"Hu?" looking up from his train of thought he saw Katie tapping her foot at him, "Oh sorry what was that?"

"I think we should inform the others of Jake's condition, after all they need to know since their family."

"Lora I can understand, she derserves to know," Andrew said leading Katie out of the room, "As for Jesse and Jackie they need not be informed. Jesse we'd never find and . . . well . . . you know how Jake's sister can be. Lets just go up and tell Lora her father's alright."

[hr]

"I hope," Lora said weakly as her head hung low. It had been over three hours, at least since she returned from Final Fantasy's astral battle, and still neither Andrew or Katie came out. She was begining to think that possibly her dad had passed away and they were trying to think of a way to break the news to her gently. Tears whelling up in her eyes as the thought of loosing her father raced through her mind she heard the door open and looked up, the tears streaming down her face. Andrew and Katie walked in and looked at her with what could be their interpritation of a smile, since they never did, "You're dad is alright."

"He's currently stable and in the containment unit. We're just waiting for him to wake up." Lora tried to wipe the tears from here eyes but they kept getting replaced. She was happy to hear her dad had pulled through and couldn't wait to see him wake up.

Serenity headed underground as fast as possible away from the area. The last thing he needed was a surprise attack while fleeing the scene. Mostly he was angry with himself not ridding YCM of the "mods" the YCMaker had put in charge of the place. [i]I will find the evidence that will definitly allow me to pass Judgement on them without someone disturbing...I know they are the ones at fault, but it seems that I will need to convince the others as well.[/i] While thinking, he heard his messenger go off, and decided to check it. Atman was requesting his pressence. Writing a short Ok in return, he head off in the direction of Atman.

[Final Fantasy Revolution]

Vayne stood up from his sitting position and coughed. "I'm glad your father is ok Lora." Vayne started by saying and then looked at the messenger that FFR was carrying. "We really should be going to meet Atman soon so we can get to the bottom of this mystery. Your father will be just fine in the capable hands of his workers." Vayne said and then started typing on the messenger.

To Atman: Me and Lora on the way.

[Catterjune]

Pika raised her brow, but decided to follow the little sprite without too much of a fuss. She kept up a casual pace, not too quick and not too fast. It seemed her Solemn Judgment play a few posts had warn off, and she was back to high spirits.

But, overall, a thoughtful gaze expressed itself upon her face. After some amount of time, she at last blurted out. "How much farther is it? I've got other places to be and other things to do." Though whether or not that was true remained a mystery.

[Jake the Sage]

"Ah! We're here but . . ." Chibi said looking around the spot where Jake had last been. It seems they had found the place without much difficulty, seeing as the massive crator made it easier to find, along with the pool of blood, but there was no one to be spotted within a good distance anywhere. Floating in place Chibi thought about what could've happened, her link with the original Lora having vanished a long time ago, so she didn't know they had left, and came up with an outrageous series of events which might've happened, "They've been kidnapped! Somehow somebody must've kidnapped the real me and my father while I was out trying to get your attention!"

"Now we just have to figure out where they were taken too," Chibi said landing on Pika's shoulder and pointing to the right, "Lets go that'a'way and see if we can find anything clues!"

[hr]

Letting out a sigh Lora fell onto the couch almost exhausted. Vayne had asked if she was ready to go in response to a message Atman had sent them. Looking over to Andrew and Katie they nodded before stating they'd message her if anyhting were to change about her father. Nodding she stood up and looked over to Vayne, "Alright Vayne lets go."
