<DeathStar> STARDATE: 10-589.3.1
<DeathStar> Location: Meg's House
<Kit> 6Megumi pauses in practice, wincing as resonance through her weapon snaps and brings a dull ache through her hands. She backs up and rests the immaterial two-bladed sword to a rest. She grumbles, then peers downward, taking a breath for a moment. <Zephyr, are you awake?>
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> <Zzzzzz>
<Kit> <Megumi> <...Th-That is not convincing.>
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr keeps going Zzzzz
<Kit> 6Megumi peers over at her hand, releasing concentration on forming the blade image, then rubs her wrists as she heads back inside to check.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr is face first in her pillow
<Kit> 6Megumi leans over and gently shakes Zephyr, frowning. 1"Zeeephyr..."
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr makes a moan sound and lifts the pillow up and places it on her head
<Kit> 6Megumi pushes on her back harshly. 1"Mou... wake up..!"
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr flails and lets out a noise of pain. "H-Hey! Stop!"
<Kit> 6Megumi leans in, puffing her cheeks, and tickles. 1"Up!"
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr jerks, the pillow coming off her head as she jerks up and away from Megumi
<Kit> 6Megumi hops onto the bed crouching with narrowed eyes. 1"Mm..."
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr eyes her. "W-W-What?!"
<Kit> <Megumi> I want to know more. It is unfair.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr rubs her eyes, then stares at Megumi bleakly. "More what?"
<Kit> <Megumi> More about you. You know about me.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Huh?! 6* She stares, confused.
<Kit> 6Megumi shifts to hold her ankles. 1"You know so much about me... So much that you have even hated me dearly. I want to know more about you. It has been bothering me."
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr blinks, rubbing the back of her head, looking a bit sheepish. "I---the hate thing was..."
<Kit> <Megumi> Hm..?
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> It wasn't really about you. 6* She says
<Kit> 6Megumi inclines her head. 1"...But I.. caused it. At that time. I would not have blamed you."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Yeah, well. It was partially mom's fault, too, for taking what happened and reacting that way. I don't really blame anyone now from that time. It's useless to blame anyone. Including yourself.
<Kit> <Megumi> Mm... It is hard to forget being torn away so abrubtly after being close. It remains near the heart.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr frowns, looking guilty
<Kit> 6Megumi rubs her head. 1"..Like I said, I caused it."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> .... 6* She still looks guilty. "...." 6* She clearly doesn't want Megumi saying that.
<Kit> <Megumi> That is why I must deal with the renegade at some point.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I know.
<Kit> <Megumi> But then, I am unsure that he is to blame. Were it not for his actions on Kilek, I would not have any reason to resist.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> ...
<Kit> <Megumi> Hee, if I did, it would just be more violence. Everything would repeat. --But all those people on Kilek... he chooses to ignore that they had nothing to do with my past. Not their fault they re-raised a heretic.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Megumi... 6* She says with a tone to her voice, not liking Megumi bashing herself. She lets it show through the bond and her face
<Kit> 6Megumi pauses, then tilts her head a bit, raising one ear inquisitively. 1"...Zephyr?"
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr crosses her arms. "You're not a heretic. And we're going to put an end to him. Because he's a bad guy, no matter how you want to look at it. He endangers everyone with no care. So he's to blame.
<Kit> 6Megumi leans back on her hands and sighs slightly. 1"...It is true that he has threatened and harmed more than his share.. My apologies, Zephyr. It may be getting to me-- the way Erevis seems to have regarded me. Before long, it felt like she held me a bit like an innocent, when I know and feel that is far from truth. I lack even the naivity to hold that to claim."
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr tilts her head. "She regards you like an innocent?"
<Kit> <Megumi> Not the present. The present regards me as little more than a nuissance.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr leans forward. "And how did future Erevis regard you as an innocent?"
<Kit> 6Megumi gulps slightly and withdraws a shift. 1"Did I say too much..?"
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> You have to tell me now
<Kit> 6Megumi frowns and puffs her cheeks. 1"Y-You still have not said anything to me about yourself!"
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr crosses her arms. "First you. Did you not like how she treated you?"
<Kit> 6Megumi peers downward, exhaling. 1"... ..."
<Kit> <Megumi> No. I cannot say I disliked it.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr tilts her head to peer upward a bit at Megumi. "So maybe that's why she did it?"
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> You may see yourself in a light, but not all of us see it. Erevis might see the
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> You may see yourself in a light, but not all of us see it. Erevis might see the "innocent" you.
<Kit> <Megumi> Mm... Seemed like that part was lost long ago.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Nonsense.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr leans her head more upward to face Megumi
<Kit> 6Megumi recoils and gulps.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> See?!
<Kit> 6Megumi makes a face, then squints and reaches up to pull at Zephyr's cheeks.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr makes a face. "Owowowow."
<Kit> <Megumi> You are talented at cheering one up.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I-Is that sarcasm? 6* She makes faces
<Kit> 6Megumi shakes her head, smiling in earnest.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr frees her cheeks, rubbing them with a puff.
<Kit> <Megumi> Your turn, though." 6She chides.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Uh? Well, what do you want to know?
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr looks at her, her cheeks red now
<Kit> 6Megumi slumps over forward, stealing Zephyr's lap. 1"I know nothing of Zephyr's past before our meeting. Even before you never really spoke of it. We just practiced sparring."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I had amnesia then! There was no way I could tell you!
<Kit> 6Megumi nudges her with her face. 1"Oh."
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr peers down at Megumi in her lap, then is nudged. She sticks out her tongue, then retracts it quickly. "There really isn't much to tell. I mean, uh..." 6* She looks blank, as if trying to find something interesting
<Kit> <Megumi> Zephyr was an assassin. I never heard about that, but I did have to deal with it once.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Well, yeah. I mean, I was built to be an assassin. Hence why I looked 15. And Warren was my pilot, so I picked up my gun skills from him.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> But why would you want to hear about me killing people?
<Kit> 6Megumi shakes her head slightly. 1"You need not tell me everything... But surely you met people? Had thoughts? What were people like, then?"
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr pauses, tilting her head slightly. "I didn't really meet people. No. I was rarely on missions with more people than just me or Warren."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> And after the war, the government pretty much isolated the Dragoons from the populace.
<Kit> <Megumi> I see... So you really mean to say that there is nothing to know...? Surely Zephyr did not become Zephyr simply because.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Well. No. Cheryl found me and got me for the brief Dragoon War.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> And she introduced me to Mother again. I had...met Mother a few times before the explosion and we all thought she had died.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> So, uh, yeah, we fought against Angela and Spade.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr nods a few times.
<Kit> 6Megumi headtilts... already lost at the vagueness.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr blinks. "Oh. Sorry."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> You wouldn't know what the Dragoon War was, would you?
<Kit> 6Megumi shakes her head. 1"Famfrit is... far from everything. Dying and forgotten."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Oh. Well. Angela was an Omega Dragoon back in those days, and she was designed to control all the Alphas.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> And Cheryl took it upon herself to wage a battle with her. So wanted to kill Angela before she awakened to those powers, and controlled all of us
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr taps her chin, an Erevis like blank look as she looks back on those days in her mind.
<Kit> 6Megumi nods slowly.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Cheryl failed to kill Angela, and then she found out Mother was alive. So she and mother gathered the Alphas, while Angela and Spade and General Cran worked to control us. And it led to a big battle between us. A few Alphas lost their lives before Warren and PAX intervened and stopped both sides.
<Kit> <Megumi> Stopped?
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Yes. PAX in those days was meant to conduct treaties and peace with alien nations, but Warren used the group to stop the battle.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> It was his way.
<Kit> <Megumi> Negotiations only work when there are appeals to both sides. What was the appeal to stop the conflict?
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Um. I can't remember his exact words now. Funny. He basically told Angela that she couldn't get peace by controlling the Alphas. And so Angela stopped.
<Kit> 6Megumi frowns slightly in confusion
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Angela was always wishy-washy. 6* She sticks out her tongue, though it's clear remembering bothers her to some degree.
<Kit> <Megumi> I suppose.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> So...um...a few months later Mom was made Ambassador for the Dragoons on the PAX, and she picked me to be her assistant
<Kit> 6Megumi blinks.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> And that was when I truly began to understand people. Me and Chad use to have a lot of fun.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr reflects
<Kit> <Megumi> Oh?
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Yeah. He taught me how to play pranks
<Kit> 6Megumi's eyes narrow.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr peers down. "What?"
<Kit> <Megumi> Nothing important." 6Returns to normal.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> .... .... ....
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr lifts up Megumi's shirt and razberries her stomach
<Kit> 6Megumi squeals. 1"Nrh..!"
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr hrmphs
<Kit> 6Megumi's face quirks, and she gazes away, huffing. Clearly she needs a word with Chad at some point, she seems to be thinking.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr nods. "But yeah, me year on the PAX was a lot of fun. I learned a lot about people.
<Kit> <Megumi> Such as?
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I learned to tell jokes, play pranks, I got my first crush. I became closer to Mom and looked up to her as my mother.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I got a personality. I guess you could say. No one ever taught me how to be "human" before.
<Kit> <Megumi> Ah..." 6She nods slightly.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr rubs under her nose as she thinks, looking a bit reflective now
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> But then PAX blew up. I almost died. My first of many diasters. 6* She giggles.
<Kit> 6Megumi reaches up and flicks Zephyr in the forehead.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr recoils. "Hey!"
<Kit> <Megumi> Hmm...
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> What?!
<Kit> <Megumi> I have learned a little bit.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Oh. So you're done with me now?
<Kit> 6Megumi grins. 1"Most of all, though..."
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr eyes her
<Kit> 6Megumi nuzzles in. 1"Zephyr is warm. I bet her legs will falls asleep shortly after I..."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> H-Hey! Are you going to sleep?!
<Kit> <Megumi> Zzzzz
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr stares, aghast.
<Kit> <Megumi> <Zzzzzz...>
<DeathStar> 6* She hrmphs. Not like she wanted to talk about Seasons 6-12 anyway.

Session Start: Mon May 26 21:00:58 2008
Session Ident: #erevis
* Logging #erevis to 'logs\EsperNet\#erevis.20080526.log'
* Xanatos is now known as Drasek
<DeathStar> Stardate: 10-589.3.1
<DeathStar> Location: Angela's House
<DeathStar> 6* It's another lovely day with the rejects
* Angela is in the "new" section of the house, working on her shop. The ominous sounds of hammering can be heard.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis prepares her things for the move, glad to be leaving the hammering behind
* Drasek knocks on Erevis' door, be it open or closed.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis glances up. "Enter."
* Angela stops her infernal hammering, stepping out of the "new" section and heads for her room, sporting a pair of overalls and a t-shirt today, her hair tied back into a pony tail.
* Drasek opens the door, poking his head inside. "Getting packed up, luv?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Yes. 6* Her hair is still red at this point, but still cut extremely short
* Drasek nods once. "You think you'll like living alone, then?"
* Angela peeks in from behind, a cheerful look on her face.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I am use to it, yes.
* Drasek slowly glances over his shoulder at Angela. He gives Erevis another nod. "Right. Well, I hope you'll welcome my company every not and again, eh?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Every...not? 6* She stares blankly
<Angela> "He's saying he hopes we can visit."
<Drasek> We? *he pauses* No. I meant me.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis tilts her head now
<Angela> "My Drasek translator clearly said we."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Do you two need to work this out between yourselves?
* Drasek shakes his head. "Let me know if you need any help moving, luv." He tells Erevis, then walks off down the hallway.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis watches Drasek go, then angles her head at Angela.
* Angela shrugs a little. She waits for Drasek to move out of the way. "Same with me, I'd be happy to help."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I thank you both for your consideration. But it is unnecessary.
* Angela nods and straightens out a little bit. "Are you okay Erevis?"
* Drasek steps into the living room and glances around. He sighs and sits down on the couch.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I am fine. 6* She glances at Angela oddly.
<Angela> "Good, I've just been a little worried, I know I caused you some damage when I went crazy a short while ago."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> You were mentally unwell. I do not hold you accountable.
<Angela> "Well that's good. I'll try to stay sane." *she lets out a soft giggle* "You want something to drink? I've been wrokin up a thirst."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I am fine.
<Angela> "Alright hun. Lemme know if you need anything at all."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I will do so.
* Angela smiles once more and closes the door quietly, walking out to the living room.
* Drasek has his head draped back on the couch, eyes closed.
* Angela looks at Drasek and tilts her head a bit.
<Angela> "Down now that she's really going?"
<Drasek> You know luv. I get that you want to include yourself in with everyone. But if I don't ask you for your company. Don't invite yourself along. It's annoying.
* Angela frowns a little. "Fine, I won't."
* Angela moves into the kitchen and seems to just shrug it off. "Want a beer?"
<Drasek> Sure.
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: Chad's Pad
<DeathStar> 6* Chad's datapad beeps with a message.
* Chad`Winters eyes his datapad off to his side and he reaches over and grabs it, reading.
<DeathStar> 6* It's from Zephyr. And it's a picture of Megumi up close and drooling and making a creepy cat like face
<DeathStar> 6* As she sleeps
* Chad`Winters smirks slightly and sets it down. He glances over at the schematic infront of him briefly
<DeathStar> 6* The datapad beeps again.
* Chad`Winters reaches over and brings the message up, looking over at it a second later.
<DeathStar> 6* This time the picture has Megumi on all fours as she sleeps, looking like some type of animal.
* Chad`Winters leans back in his chair as he eyes the picture. He shakes his head, the smirk turning into a smile.
<DeathStar> 6* Text appears. "This is what I wake up to in the morning."
* Chad`Winters types back on it. 1"I thought you always wanted a pet."
<DeathStar> <Text Message> Psch. Pets need too much attention
<Chad`Winters> <Text> You ever ties paper bags around her hands and feet?
<DeathStar> <Text Mesage> Not yet.
<DeathStar> 6* Chad's comm beeps.
* Chad`Winters reaches up and taps his ear comm. 1"Winters."
<DeathStar> <Alexander> This is Alexander. I have something important to discuss with you.
* Chad`Winters leaves a short pause. 1"And why would I find this important enough to take time out of my schedule?"
<DeathStar> <Alexander> Because it relates to you and Aya. Someone has broken into one of our databanks and taken information regarding you two.
* Chad`Winters clicks his tongue. 1"Where?"
<DeathStar> <Alexander> Come to the Executive building. I'll have everything you need ready here.
* Kuroichigo has joined #erevis
<Chad`Winters> <Comm> I'll be there in twenty. 6He runs his fingers through his datapad, sending Zephyr a text. 1"I'm meeting with Cran in regards to stolen information."
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr responds back. "You sure you want to get into his web?"
* Chad`Winters lowers his hand. 1"It's in regards to info on Aya and myself. It's worth the risk."
<DeathStar> 6* There's a pause, then Zephyr types. "Want me there?"
<Chad`Winters> <Text> Let me figure out what his game is first, than I'll let you know.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr Text> K.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr Text> Becareful
* Chad`Winters stands up, his fingers typing away. 1"Always." He moves into his room to change
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: Angela's House
<DeathStar> 6* More rejects
* Angela is sitting on the couch, enjoying a beer.
* Drasek is in his chair now, he has finished his beer. "You don't like that she's leavin. Do you luv?"
<Angela> "Course not, but it's not my place to stop it."
* Angela sips her beer.
* Drasek gives a casual shrug. "You could try, luv."
* Angela puts the beer down, frowning a little. "Yeah I could, but shouldn't she be allowed to make her own decisions?"
<Drasek> Maybe. *he gives another shrug*
* Angela taps her chin and shrugs, she heads down to the hall, and stops in front of Ere's door. She hesitates a moment before knocking.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis speaks. "Enter."
* Angela opens up and steps inside, closing the door behind her.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis tilts her head at Angela
<Angela> "Hey, could we talk about this move thing a little/"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> What do you wish to discuss?
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis folds some clothing into a suitcase
* Angela rubs the back of her head a little. "Well... I'd really like it if you stayed here."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis tilts her head again. "I am sorry, Angela Bennet. That is not possible."
* Angela crosses her arms a little and leans back against the door. "Why's that?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I have already made ... 'down payment' on the apartment I am moving into.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis places another article clothing into the suitcase. "And I would prefer to live alone."
<Angela> "Well, the down payment thing could be taken care of... so let's focus on the other part. Why do you want to be alone?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> It is something I desire. Is that not enough explanation?
<Angela> "Well... maybe it's just my own experiences, but I don't completely understand why someone would desire solitude."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> It is in my nature.
<Angela> "Really? I can't remember you being alone since we got back to Earth."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Yes. It has been a long time. It is another reason I desire it.
* Angela tilts her head a little, that habit she got from Ere, studying her. "But is that the only reason? A change of pace?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> There are many reasons I desire it. And I do not feel inclined to list them all. I simply desire it.
<Angela> "Do you desire anyone's company at all?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Occassional company is fine.
* Angela nods a little, giving her that. "Is there any reason besides this need for solitude that you want to leave here?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I have stated there are many reasons.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> And that I do not intend to go over them all.
<Angela> "Alright... I won't make you. I just really want you to stay, it's your decision, but I'd be failing miserably if I didn't at least try to convince you to stay with us."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> You have done commendable at convincing. However, my answer is the same.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis goes back to her packing
* Angela nods a little. "...Want any help packing?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> No. I do not need help.
* Angela turns to go. "Erevis... we're your friends, you don't have to do everything on your own."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I am aware. However, this is merely packing and I am capable. And I prefer it.
<Angela> "Not just talking about the packing."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I see.
* Angela looks back at her. "Standing alone... it's not something anyone should ever have to do."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis tilts her head at Angela. And doesn't respond.
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: Executive Building
<DeathStar> 6* A person leads Chad through the building
* Chad`Winters follows behind the person, his neutral look on
<DeathStar> 6* The man opens a door to a room with data banks and terminals. Vice President Alexander Cran is at one terminal
<DeathStar> 6* Alexander peers at the silent Chad
<DeathStar> <Alexander> Winters. Come here.
* Chad`Winters steps in, his arms crossing infront of him. 1"So how secure was this information on my daughter and I." He slowly moves over to Alex
<DeathStar> <Alexander> It was one of the back up databanks in a base south of Tokyo. It was pretty secure, in the fact, no one should have known about it, and the fact it had guards and defenses.
<DeathStar> <Alexander> After this building was hit so many times, we've resorted to backing up all crucial data there.
* Chad`Winters clicks his tongue, gaining two facts from this. 1"Inside job?"
<DeathStar> 6* Alexander motions to an empty chair beside him
* Chad`Winters grabs the chair and sits down.
<DeathStar> <Alexander> That's what I was hoping you could tell me. For once, this isn't part of my elaborate and manical plans.
<Chad`Winters> It's a good thing I keep a wire on me during out conversations. 6He notes flatly.
<DeathStar> <Alexander> It's okay. I have this room forming low wave noises to interfere with wires.
<DeathStar> <Alexander> Now, if you want my opinion, for whatever you value it at, I believe this is the remnants of the V.I. group.
<DeathStar> <Alexander> In the past two years, they're the only people who have made a move against you
<Chad`Winters> And here I thought you had your fingers dug into them.
<DeathStar> <Alexander> Hardly. 6* He leans back, eyeing the blank terminal. "I merely stepped in after you alerted me."
<DeathStar> <Alexander> Now, here's the video feed of our intruder.
<DeathStar> 6* Alexander clicks a button, pulling up camera feeds from the hallways of the base
<Chad`Winters> Always one to reep the spoils of anothers hard work. 6He studies the terminal
<DeathStar> 6* A person wearing a tactical suit and mask, looking very technological, works their way through the hallway at alarming speed, passing whatever defenses there are. They move with grace and agility through them
<DeathStar> 6* Sadly, they appear for about 3 seconds
<Chad`Winters> Rewind and freeze it back on them.
<DeathStar> 6* Alexander complies, pausing it on the person.
<Chad`Winters> How tall are the hallways?
<DeathStar> 6* Alexander recites immediately. "About 12 feet. Judging by their height, I estimate 5' feet and around 4 inches.
* Chad`Winters clicks his tongue as he leans in.
<DeathStar> 6* Alexander taps his fingers on his knee, looking lax. "Conclusions?"
* Chad`Winters leans back. 1"Dawn Alighieri's sister fits the estimated height, width, and frame."
<DeathStar> 6* Alexander pauses, playing carefully with a poker face, then shakes her head once. "No. She wouldn't target you. You have nothing to do with her. If anything, she'd go after the McCormick woman."
* Chad`Winters slowly eyes Alexander now than snorts. 1"Another one of your toys?" 6He pulls his datapad out and types something on it.
<DeathStar> <Alexander> Hardly. She was a legacy of the General.
<DeathStar> 6* Chad gets a text message back going "K"
<DeathStar> 6* Alexander leans back. "It could be Angela Bennet, minus about two inches in height, but the suit could give that to her. But I somehow doubt she'd need to get vital info on you."
<Chad`Winters> I doubt it was her. I'm sure there's too many doors in the way. 6His tone is neutral, making it hard to tell if he's serious or being humerous.
<Chad`Winters> How much do you know about VI?
<DeathStar> <Alexander> V.I. Created by General Vennie Cartwright to rival Janus. The group outgrew Veneartor's control later, and became a terrorist group, intent on getting Janus tools and legacies. Destroyed and decimated by Darien Starr's unit - in which they attempted to use a nuclear weapon to blow up PAX2.
<DeathStar> <Alexander> After being foiled, and you showing President Hodges for his true colors, the group vanished again, believed inert and destroyed, until they attempted to take Aya and experiment on her.
<Chad`Winters> And they've been quiet ever since?
<DeathStar> <Alexander> Yes. After you killed Hodges, I think you killed the head of the group and it fell apart. I could have been wrong, though
<Chad`Winters> Head figures are easy to replace. 6He eyes Alex. 1"I need to see a copy of the information that person stole."
<DeathStar> 6* Alexander reaches into his suit, pulling out the data disk. "Everything relating to your Project: Weapon info and Aya's treatments and abilities were taken."
<DeathStar> <Alexander> As well as your address.
* Chad`Winters takes the data disk and places it in his datapad. He eyes the time quickly
<DeathStar> <Alexander> It's about 1:15.
<Chad`Winters> Great. I might be losing another home.
<DeathStar> 6* Alexander leans back. "If this is an agent of V.I., then they want Aya. I gave her abilities and powers, and they'll want them. They already were willing to age her rapidly."
<Chad`Winters> And you gave them what they wanted without them having to finish their work. How poetic. 6He eyes the data. 1"If that's the case than...6He pauses. 1"The information that was gathered on me. Did it include possible weaknesses, etc"
<DeathStar> <Alexander> Yes.
<Chad`Winters> Than they most likely stole my information to use against me. 6He stands up now, an irritated look on his face.
<DeathStar> <Alexander> Most likely.
<Chad`Winters> It ever occur to you this wouldn't have happened had you not decided to compile digital data on me and my daughter?
<DeathStar> 6* Alexander turns to face Chad. "You are capable of great things, Chad. In the past, you've shown this. If you were ever to become evil again, then methods to defeat you are necessary."
<Chad`Winters> I could never fill your shoes.
<DeathStar> 6* Alexander eyes him. "Ah. So you see me as evil."
<Chad`Winters> You did experiment on my daughter. Without my permission or hers. Yeah, I'd file you under the evil category.
<DeathStar> <Alexander> The fact is, Winters, your Id has done more harm and damage to those you love than I ever could.
<DeathStar> <Alexander> At least Aya will not be able to defend herself from you
<DeathStar> *now
* Chad`Winters leans forward, his eyes staring deeply into Alexanders. 1"Those are my sins to live with Alex. You have no right to choose my daughters life for her."
<DeathStar> 6* Alexander stands up, adjusting his suit. "I may not be the General, but Aya is the only family I have now. And I'll be damned if she'll be killed because everyone in the world is out to get her and you. So yes. I experimented on her and would do so again."
<DeathStar> <Alexander> If you want petty revenge for it, then I know you are capable of delivering.
<Chad`Winters> You are not her family. You are nothing but a carbon copy of a man long since gone from this world.
<DeathStar> <Alexander> Perhaps so. The fact is I don't care to be the General. But unlike him, I'm not going to throw away my blood connections.
<Chad`Winters> You want to protect her, change the world into a better place, not my daughter because you find it easier.
<DeathStar> 6* Alexander eyes him. "And how many times has her abilities saved her life when you failed to reach her in time?"
* Chad`Winters clicks his tongue. 1"The end justifies the mean arguement. I expected better from you."
<DeathStar> <Alexander> The fact is, Winters, if you wanted what was best for Aya, when she was born, you'd have put her up for adoption and gotten her away from you. Now she lives in dangerous world because you placed her there.
<Chad`Winters> You don't think I haven't realized that? That that idea hadn't crossed my mind? The only difference is I wouldn't be able to live with myself knowing that she was out there and never knowing who her real father was. I've already seen how that turned out once.
<DeathStar> <Alexander> Yes. So you chose blood over safety.
<DeathStar> 6* Alexander adjusts the cuffs of his suit. "The fact is I can't make the world a better place, and you can't always be there for Aya. And she has to learn to stand on her own. And the more she has to stand with, the better off she will be."
<Chad`Winters> It doesn't matter how you turn this glass, Alex. I'll never see it from your eyes as the right thing."
<DeathStar> 6* Alexander smiles a moment. "No, I know you won't." 6* He taps a button and the guide arrives to show Chad how to get out. "But we'll both do what we think is best. It's in our blood, after all."
* Chad`Winters snorts and turns, turning to walk out.
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: Angela's House
<DeathStar> 6* Rejects
* Drasek has his leg propped up onto his knee, a datapad in his hand as he fiddles with it silently.
* Angela has stepped out of Erevis' room, leaving her be once more as she takes a seat back on the cough, grabbing her beer.
* Drasek peers up at her once, smirks, then looks back to the datapad.
* Angela sits back on the couch and look at him. "You're not gonna give it a go?"
* Drasek snorts. "No, luv. I don't want her to stay."
* Angela raises a brow a little as she sips her beer. "You don't?"
<Drasek> Nope. I don't need bits nor bats to keep myself satisfied.
<Angela> "I... think my Drasek translator broke down on that one."
* Angela finishes off her beer and sets the can down.
* Drasek gives her a glance before looking back to his datapad. "She needs to figure herself out, dove. And if she needs to be alone for that, she should be."
* Angela looks at him almost shocked. "Drassey, you're not such a bad guy afterall."
* Angela pulls out her datapad and checks her messages, starting to compose one as they load.
* Drasek seems to ignore both the nickname and the comment.
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: Chad's Car
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr talks on the comm. "Aya's at school and fine.
<Chad`Winters> <Comm> Good. I'm thinking VI's deciding to pick back up where Alex left off and whoever it was that took the information is good. I mean real good.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Well, I'm better. ... but you might should tag some of the others and get them to join us.
* Kuroichigo has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 180 seconds)
* Chad`Winters glances at the time. 1"I'll send them messages to be on the stand-by than."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Alrighty. 6* The time is close to 1:40 now.
<Chad`Winters> <Comm> I'm gonna meet you and then we'll pick her up from schoo. I'm not gonna risk it at this point."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Okay.
<Chad`Winters> /me starts typing on his datapad, sending Erevis/Angela/Drasek a message. "I need you guys to be on the ready.
* Chad`Winters starts typing on his datapad, sending Erevis/Angela/Drasek a message. "I need you guys to be on the ready. 1"Where you are right now?"
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Me? School roof, peering about
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> A few of the boys here actually asked me out
<Chad`Winters> <Comm> I'm thinking it's possibly Alighieri's sister. She fits the estimated person who broke in.
<Chad`Winters> <Comm> Really? You tell them yes?
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> <Comm> Hm. Her? Huh? Of course not!
<Chad`Winters> <Comm> Not cute enough for you?
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> <Comm> Sheesh, Chad. Focus!
<Chad`Winters> <Comm> I am, sorry. It's keeping my head focused. 6He turns down a street.
<DeathStar> 6* Chad's comm beeps from another person
<Chad`Winters> <Comm> I got someone on the other line. I'll be there soon.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr on Comm> Kay. I'll be here
* Chad`Winters taps his ear comm twice.
<Chad`Winters> <Comm> "Winters"
<DeathStar> <Darien on Comm> Ready for what, exactly?
<Chad`Winters> <Comm> Someone broke in a secure facility and stole information on Aya and myself. Thinking VI wants to finish their work on my daughter."
<DeathStar> <Darien on Comm> Hrm. I see. Where are you?
* Chad`Winters gives him his current location. 1"I'm on my way to pick up my daughter from school."
<DeathStar> <Darien on Comm> Okay. I'm near the area. I'll be on my way.
<Chad`Winters> <Comm> Thanks.
<DeathStar> <Darien on Comm> No problem. I-- 6* As he's talking, a black van speeds up on the right side of Chad's car, swerving in to ram his right side
* Chad`Winters swerves to the left as he's hit, he quickly jerks the steering wheel back to try and counter steer back
<DeathStar> 6* The van moves in to hit at Chad again, trying to get him into the left lane and into incoming traffic.
* Chad`Winters hits the brakes hard and swerves to the right to try and spin the van infront of him.
<DeathStar> <Darien on Comm> What's going on?
<Chad`Winters> <Comm> Apparently someone doesn't like the way I'm driving.
<DeathStar> 6* The van is hit, swerving poorly and spinning out ahead. Suddenly, another black van comes up from behind, trying to bumper ram him
<DeathStar> <Darien on Comm> Well, you do drive like an OCD freak
* Chad`Winters slams forward from the hit, his car sliding from the hit. He hits the gas and reaches under his coat to grab his gun. 1"Two black vans trying to play pin ball with me."
<DeathStar> <Darien on Comm> Got it. Look. I don't have it activated, but I installed homing beacons on all our datapads. Yours can only be activated if you turn it on. Since I know you like your privacy. Do it so I can get there.
<DeathStar> 6* The van in front of Chad tries to stand in his way as his car slides
<Chad`Winters> <Comm> Alright. Tell the others to meet up with Zephyr at the school. 6He eyes the rear view and aims behind him, firing two shots for the driver. He then cranks the wheel to try and hit the front of the van infront of him and push it out of the way and go by
<DeathStar> <Darien on Comm> On it. To turn on the beacon, hit the pound key three times.
<DeathStar> 6* The van's windows are hit by Chad's shots, taking them in stride. The van in front of him is hit and spun to the side and Chad is able to bypass
<Chad`Winters> <Comm> Doing so now. 6He reaches over for his datapad to hit the pound key 3x
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: Angela's House
<DeathStar> 6* Chad's message about "Be ready" appears on Angela's datapad. And Drasek's.
* Angela eyes her datapad. "Be ready for what?"
* Drasek gives a slight shrug. "Maybe he's wanting to have a party or somethin."
<Angela> "Maybe he's finally gone cuckoo?"
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis steps out to get some water, and eyes Angela oddly
<Drasek> Who knows, luv. But i'm always ready, so no worries there.
* Angela looks up at meet Ere's gaze. "Oh hey, weird message from Winters about being ready."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I see. I will be back, then
<DeathStar> 6* She steps back into her room
* Angela smiles at Drasek. Then looks up at Erevis, she gets up herself, following example. "Yeah I should probably get my weapons."
* Drasek gives her a sarcastic thumbs up.
* Angela sticks her tounge out at him and goes to her room, changing into her tact suit.
<DeathStar> 6* Minutes pass, and Erevis steps out in her cloak and hood, with the hood already up, perhaps to hide her face and hair. She has her emerald staff formed already.
<Drasek> Now that, Revi. Is being ready.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Yes. I did as the message indicated.
<DeathStar> 6* Angela's comm begins to go off.
* Angela steps out just slightly behind her, fixing her long coat over her body, weapons on, hanging from her belt, strapped to her arms, the works. She stops and pulls out her comm. "Angie here."
* Drasek looks left, then right. "Wonder what we're being ready for."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien begins to speak, the sound of tires squealing and horns honking in the background. "Listen. V.I. might be aiming to finish what they began last year with Aya and Chad Winters. They're attempting to take out Chad as we speak. He wants you all to get to the school and protect Aya with Zephyr."
<Angela> "On it. Be careful Darien."
* Angela looks at her fellow house dwellers, who should have been able to hear it. "Alright, let's go!"
<DeathStar> <Darien on Comm> Always. 6* He clicks off.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis tilts her head. "Yes. Let us go. Shall I drive?"
* Angela puts her comms away and heads out the door. "I'll drive."
* Drasek hops up and pockets his datapad. "Clearly luv, I should."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis sulks.
<DeathStar> 6* She follows. Clearly sulking.
* Drasek sighs and walks along after them.
* Angela eyes them a she moves to the car and sighs a bit, getting in.
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: Streets of Tokyo
<DeathStar> 6* The van moves up behind Chad, and a guy gets out, firing at Chad's tires.
* Chad`Winters swerves to the side to try and avoid getting his tires shot out.
<DeathStar> 6* As Chad swerves, a third black van comes off a side street, bypassing the left lane and getting cars to swerve and begin to crash, and aims to ram into Chad's side as he swerves
* Chad`Winters eyes go wide and and he jerks the wheel the opposite way to give him more time to avoid the hit
<DeathStar> 6* The hit doesn't hit as hard as it could, and Chad's car is able to keep pretty steady from the bounce
<DeathStar> 6* Up ahead, two black vans block traffic on the right side, causing a slight block-up. Cars are honking at them
* Chad`Winters hits his comm. 1"Zephyr, they're making their moves. Be on guard. He swears and eyes to see if he can go into oncomign traffic
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr doesn't respond.
<DeathStar> 6* He can, but it'll be tricky.
* Chad`Winters jerks into the oncoming traffic.
<DeathStar> 6* The cars begin to fly at Chad, honking at him madly. And we all know what this means. OPPOSITE GAME
<DeathStar> 6* Left, Right, Right, Left, Left, Right, Right, Left, Left, Right

<DeathStar> 6* Chad smashes into a car, causing him to spin
* Chad`Winters tries to regain control.
<DeathStar> 6* The black van comes up from behind, trying to ram him as he struggles
* Chad`Winters slams into his steering wheel again
<DeathStar> 6* A flashy sports car zooms onto the left side next, weaving in and out behind the van aiming for Chad. As the two impact, he zooms up and around, screeching on the brakes.
<DeathStar> 6* The car honks at Chad.
<DeathStar> 6* MEanwhile, the left side is hitting breaks to avoid the three, and causing more problems
<DeathStar> 6* A few guys begin to get out of the van, with guns
* Chad`Winters looks over at the sports car.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien rolls down the window. "Hurry up. That piece of shit ain't going anywhere."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien eyes the men, grabbing his gun and firing shots from his window
* Chad`Winters quickly opens the door and leaps into Dariens' passenger seet
<DeathStar> 6* Darien hits the gas, speeding forward again even as the door is open
<DeathStar> 6* The men curse and shoot at Darien's car
<Chad`Winters> Thanks. I can't get a hold of Zephyr. 6He leans back out and fires several shots for the men shooting at them. Aiming for the knee caps
<DeathStar> 6* The men go down
* Chad`Winters pulls himself back in.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien nods, spinning his wheel like he would a shuttle. He spins at an angle onto another street
<DeathStar> <Darien> That must mean they're there.
* Chad`Winters just nods, a worried look on his face.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien drives along, his foot pressing the gas all the way down so they speed at unsafe speeds
<DeathStar> <Darien> The Dark Hunting Unit is out of the solar system, unfortunately, so we can't get big guns like Cheryl.
<Chad`Winters> Got to love their timing. 6He unholsters Ebony.
<DeathStar> 6* A shuttle begins to fly up ahead, lowering almost on the road, causing cars to swerve
<DeathStar> 6* A man leans out with a rail gun, aiming
<Chad`Winters> Oh you're fucking kidding. 6He raises Ebony and fires a shot through the windshield, aiming it for the man's head
<DeathStar> <Darien> Christ Jesus, my car.
<DeathStar> 6* The man barely avoids being shot. Darien is now closer to the shuttle, as if playing chicken with it
* Retrieving #erevis modes...
* Chad`Winters leans out the open window and fires Ebony directly at the man's chest and his mod gun to the man's right
<DeathStar> 6* The man is hit and falls forward from the shuttle
<DeathStar> 6* Darien swerves off the road and onto the sidewalk, making noises as he hits things
<DeathStar> 6* The shuttle turns, locking onto the car as it passes by with it's missiles
<DeathStar> <Darien> You know, Winters, they really don't like you
<DeathStar> 6* A missile is launched
<Chad`Winters> I can't imagine why. 6He pivots and fires two shots for the missile as it's launched
<DeathStar> 6* The missile is hit, by some miracle, and explodes, knocking the shuttle up and about. IT crashes into a building side
<DeathStar> 6* The sound of cop sirens can be heard in the background, probably due to their disregard for people
* Chad`Winters ducks back inside and then pulls out his datapad, eyeing the news channels for any information on Aya's school
<DeathStar> 6* There is none.
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: Aya's School
<DeathStar> 6* Team Angela arrives to see all the students standing around outside for what appears to be a fire dril
* Drasek steps out of the car after Angela parks it and begins to walk towards the school.
* Angela parks the car and gets out, looking over the crowd. "...Alrighty."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis steps out as well, moving along.
* Drasek glances around. "Kids." He makes a face, peering about for Aya amongst the crowd.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> You do not like kids?
* Angela moves towards the school, looking around for Aya or Zephyr.
<Drasek> Not this many, luv.
<DeathStar> 6* There appears to be no sign of either
* Angela sighs and grabs her comms, trying to contact Zephyr.
<DeathStar> 6* Nothing.
<Angela> "We might be too late..."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis peers about, casually observing
* Drasek rubs his nose then shifts to get around the crowd, moving for what appears to be a teacher.
* Angela keeps looking around for anything suspicious while Drasek starts interrogating.
<DeathStar> 6* A teacher is what appears to be
<Drasek> Excuse me. What's going on?
<DeathStar> <Teacher> It seems someone pulled the fire dri--who are you?
<DeathStar> 6* She eyes Drasek suspiciously
* Angela grumbles slightly at the downed Megumi and pokes at her. "Hey, miss kittycat, wake up."
<DeathStar> 6* Sadly, Angela is poking nothing
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis eyes Angela warily. She holds her staff ready
* Drasek coughs. "My name is Drasek, luv. I was asked to stop by and make sure Aya Winters was ok."
* Angela shrugs a bit and sighs, shaking her head as she looks around more.
<DeathStar> <Teacher> She should be in her group.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien's car, all beat up, zooms up next to the school gates
<Drasek> Which group? *he shifts to peer at the groups of hoodlums*
<DeathStar> 6* The teacher points at the group with a substitute.
* Angela returns to Drasek. "I can't find them anywhere."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Yes. However, she apparantly can find Megumi Zhenmei
* Drasek tilts his head and attempts to locate Aya in that group.
<DeathStar> 6* The car stops.
<DeathStar> 6* No Ayas.
* Chad`Winters quickly steps out himself and begins jogging towards the Erevis
* Angela looks around and rubs her head. "Goddamnit."
* Drasek frowns. "Thanks, bird." He says to the teacher, then turns and walks into the school.
<DeathStar> 6* Cedarton stands in the doorway to the school
<DeathStar> 6* He eyes Drasek as if examining a speck of dust
<DeathStar> 6* Darien gets out
<Drasek> 'lo, mate. Seems we've got a problem.
<Chad`Winters> Erevis. You guys find either of them?
<DeathStar> <Cedarton> Do we?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> They are not outside here.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Most likely, they are still inside.
<Chad`Winters> Shit. 6He quickly moves for the front door
* Angela joins Erevis and Chad now. "Someone pulled a fake firedrill, snatch and grab."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Joy
<Drasek> Aya Winters isn't in her group. *he motions* And there's a chance she could be inside.
<DeathStar> 6* Cedarton pauses, then steps aside, boredly.
<DeathStar> <Cedarton> Wipe your feet as you enter.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis moves to follow Drasek
* Drasek gives him a thumbs up. "Thanks, mate." He wipes his feet and steps inside.
* Angela sighs and follows as well.
* Chad`Winters moves in, not wiping his feet. 1"Drasek, check the roof for Zephyr."
<DeathStar> 6* Cedarton sighs.
* Drasek nods, and breaks away from them to go do so.
* Angela oddly does wipe her feet, after eyeing Cedarton warily.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis wipes her feet, then moves in
<DeathStar> 6* Darien walks on in
<Chad`Winters> Angela take the 3rd floor. Erevis with me on the second. Darien check the first.
<Angela> "Alrighty."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Right
* Angela moves off to check the third floor.
<Chad`Winters> Keep your comms open.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis inclines her head
<DeathStar> 6* Darien nods.
* Chad`Winters taps his comm, leaving the channel open. 6He moves for the stairs.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis follows Chad
* Angela taps her own comm as she heads up the stairway.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis peers down the second floor hallway
* Drasek emerges onto the roof and peers about.
* Chad`Winters steps off onto the second floor. 1"She'd leave from this floor. Best time to grab her would be...6He eyes her classroom, studying the area
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr sits on the roof, head slumped forward.
* Drasek arches a brow and walks over. "Bit?"
<DeathStar> 6* No response
<DeathStar> <Erevis> After she exited the classroom?
* Drasek reaches out to shake her slightly.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr is shaken. She appears unconscious
<Chad`Winters> Right...6He looks to see if there's a bathroom on the way to the stairs
* Angela starts checking classrooms. "Zephyr? Aya?"
<DeathStar> 6* There is.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis moves to glance at the classrooms
* Kuroichigo has joined #erevis
* Chad`Winters motions to the bathroom and he pulls out Ebony, holding it infront of him. He starts moving towards it.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis pauses, then turns to follow Chad, holding her staff ready. "Do you believe she would remain in the bathroom?"
* Drasek lifts up his datapad to send a message to Chad, Darien, Angela. "Zephyr = unconcious." Then puts it away and shifts to lift her up.
* Angela eyes the message, she keeps checking rooms.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr suddenly opens her eyes, gasping in pain.
* Drasek widens his eyes. "Bit, you ok?"
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Can't move.
* Chad`Winters motions for Erevis to check the womans as he moves to the mens.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis nods once, then moves inside the female bathroom
* Chad`Winters opens the men's room and steps inside.
<Drasek> What happened?
<Angela> "Aya...?"
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> She used a fucking nerve cluster punch on me. Dammit
<Drasek> You get a look at her face? *he shifts her in his arms, moving for the rooftop exit*
<DeathStar> 6* Darien taps his comm. "I got movement down here, in the back of the school."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> No. Mask. H-Hey! Fix me! Or something
* Chad`Winters opens each bathroom stall.
<DeathStar> 6* The bathroom stalls are empty
* Chad`Winters clicks his tongue and steps out of the men's bathroom.
<Drasek> Dunno how, bit. Chad does. *he moves down the steps towards the second floor*
* Angela arches a brow and starts making her way down the hall, towards the back, checking doors quickly as she heads to the stairs.
* Drasek smirks. "And here I thought you were unbeatable, luv."
<DeathStar> <Darien> I've spotted them. Field track.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> She cheated!
<Chad`Winters> <Comm> On my way. 6He opens the womans bathroom. 1"Their in the field track. Let's go."
* Angela starts to run, heading down the stairs for the back.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis turns. "I understand."
<Drasek> I'm sure she did. *he just smirks still*
* Chad`Winters turns and moves towards the stairwell
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Dammit!
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis moves to the classroom window, opens it, and leaps out
* Drasek moves down the stairwell beside Chad, glancing at him. "Lass used a nerve cluster punch on Zephyr here." he says to Chad.
* Chad`Winters grabs the railing and swings over it, dropping down to the first floor. He dashes down the hallway towards the door leading to the track field
<DeathStar> 6* Darien mutters a Christ Jesus as Erevis lands nearly beside him, using her staff to soften the impact
* Angela eyes Chad now ahead of her and follows him out.
* Drasek pauses slightly. "Well, luv. This may be bumpy." He shifts and leaps over the railing with her.
<DeathStar> 6* At the track field, the masked person and Aya are standing face to face.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> AAAAIE
* Drasek lands with a grunt and then falls onto his ass. "..." He pulls himself up, jogging after the others.
<DeathStar> 6* While the mask seems to have been pulled away, her back is to the group
<DeathStar> 6* Darien turns as Chad arrives.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr sulks. "This sucks."
* Chad`Winters jerks Ebony up. 1"What's going on?"
* Angela draws her Samaritan and waits as she runs up by Chad and Darien.
<DeathStar> <Darien> I don't know. We could try to shoot her back, but if we miss, we might hit Aya.
* Drasek clears his throat. "Anyone want to fix Zeph's nerve cluster?"
<Angela> "Stun shots?"
<DeathStar> <Darien> Tactical suit and armor. The back of her head is even shielded still
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis tilts her head, then jabs Zephyr in the chest
<Chad`Winters> I can do it with Ebony but when it misses I'm gonna be hindered. 6He pauses. 1"Where were you hit Zeph?
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr bites back a howl.
* Drasek stares down at Zephyr's chest. "Bloody hell. I could've done that."
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr holds her chest, her arms moving now. "That huuuuurt."
* Chad`Winters takes several deep breathes as he focuss on the tact person
<Angela> "Be hindered, we'll cover you."
<DeathStar> 6* Aya leans around, spotting the group. Her eyes widen, and the masked person tenses, putting their mask back on to face them
* Drasek frowns. "Well, luv. At least you can move." He tilts his head to look at Aya and the Masked Person.
<Angela> "Shit."
* Chad`Winters pulls the trigger, focusing everything on hitting the person in the chest.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya seems to be in a state of semi-shock. Before she can move, the masked person gently reaches out to her neck, pressing on it and Aya suddenly falls unconscious
<DeathStar> 6* She cups Aya into her arms and dashes to the side
* Chad`Winters face tenses and her curves the bullet, chasing it after her.
<DeathStar> 6* The masked person pulls out a weapon, an energy staff, and hits the bullet
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr forms her guns
* Chad`Winters falls to his knees, a spot of blood dripping from his nose.
<DeathStar> 6* The masked person lays Aya down to the side, then rushes forward
<DeathStar> <Darien> Here she comes!
* Drasek places Zephyr down lightly. "Can you stand, luv"
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr nods. "Yeah..."
* Angela moves in front of Chad, she dreadies her gun.
<Chad`Winters> G-Get..6He grabs his head in pain. 1"Aya."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis holds her staff ready
<DeathStar> <Darien> Right
<DeathStar> 6* Darien moves off to the side
* Drasek shifts and grins, "Excellent." He kneels and rushes forward and the person.
<Drasek> NRP: at*
<DeathStar> 6* The person pulls out a second gun, and fires a flash grenade near Chad, to disorient his head more
* Angela grabs Chad as she sees teh grenadea dn pulls them both into a roll away.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis holds up her hands, and Zephyr howls
<DeathStar> 6* It goes off.
* Drasek is hopefully past the flash?
* Chad`Winters is pulled away. His head still pounding horribly
<DeathStar> 6* Drasek would be, since he ran
* Drasek moves in, throwing a punch out with his left fist.
* Angela slips Chad some pain medication.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr lifts her guns
* Chad`Winters presses his hands against his forehead, his breathing heavy
<DeathStar> 6* The masked person flips over Drasek, and swings her staff for his face
* Drasek shifts his body along with his missed punch and pulls up his right arm, to block the staff, with the hidden blade of course, so it looks like it impacts into his arm.
<DeathStar> 6* The person lands gracefully, her gun already switched and aimed at Chad, firing a grenade
<DeathStar> 6* A real one
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr fires her guns at the person
* Angela grabs Chad again for another roll, nothing much more she can do then get them out of the way.
<DeathStar> 6* The grenade goes off.
<Angela> "God you're heavy!"
<DeathStar> 6* The person dodges the shots, and Erevis moves in, swinging her staff. She parries with her own
* Chad`Winters is pulled once again. He's apparently in too much pain to retort
* Drasek stumbles back slightly and waits for Zephyr's shot to move past before he would move in, kicking for the back of her leg while she and Erevis are parried.
* Angela sighs and injects the meds into Chad.
<DeathStar> 6* The woman leaps up, using her staff against Erevis', and just uses it to glide in the air. When she lands to Erevis side, she rams the staff into her side, hitting a nerve cluster
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis stumbles once.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr takes aim again, looking for an opening
* Angela starts guiding Chad out of grenade tossing range.
* Drasek steps forward to catch Erevis, shifting around her to send another kick out for the woman.

<DeathStar> 6* Darien leans on the wall, arms crossed.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis is silent, gazing at the floor

<DeathStar> 6* Darien glances over, and Aya looks up, her face pale with worry.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis peers at the doctor's grim face.
<Angela> "Some very bad people could be making her do things."
* Angela looks up now at the doctor.
* Drasek steps into the waiting room shortly after, having been waiting in the hall.
<DeathStar> <Doctor> I'm sorry. We tried everything we could, but the bullet had done too much damage to his lungs and heart.
<DeathStar> <Doctor> He died a little while ago
* Drasek arches a brow, and frowns.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya gasps, jerking back
<DeathStar> <Darien> ....
<DeathStar> 6* Darien shakes his head, glancing away. "Tch...
<DeathStar> "
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr stands up, having been there as well, her hands clapsed together. "Chad..no..."
* Angela stares blankly for a moment, before gently moving over to hug Aya.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya begins to swallow, then tears run down her face. She loses the ability to stand
* Angela thankfully is already holding her to catch her, she sets herself down with Aya.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr swallows, looking shakey. She peers at Aya, then moves and kneels there as well, grabbing Aya into a hug as well
* Angela moves one arm to hug them both.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... ... 6* She glances away, looking a bit sad herself.
* Drasek rubs his face slowly, then nods to the doctor. "Thanks for trying, doc."
<DeathStar> 6* The doctor nods and moves away
<DeathStar> 6* Aya begins to sob. "Daddy..."
* Angela just holds them, she already knows from experience that nothing can really make the pain go away.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien crosses his arms. "Angela. You should take Aya and Zephyr to your house."
* Angela nods silently and looks up, clearly giving the two time.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr, while she doesn't cry, looks rather shell shocked.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien turns and moves to the room where Chad was operated on. To see him one last time.
* Drasek glances at Darien now, then looks to the others.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis looks at the girl sympathetically.
* Angela slowly guides the two to stand. "Come... let's get you somewhere safe."
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr nods once, trying to get her focus back, and helps Aya up
<DeathStar> 6* Aya rises, wiping at her face.
* Angela tries to look strong, despite her own tears which fall silently. "Alright..."
* Angela starts to lead them out.
<DeathStar> * Erevis watches them go, then looks at Drasek
* Drasek glances at Erevis. "What should we do, luv?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I .... do not know.

<DeathStar> 6* Darien stands beside the operating table where Chad Winters is laying, all dead like
* Drasek glances at Chad, then clears his throat. "Sorry but, you got any idea what we should do, mate?"
<DeathStar> 6* Darien clicks his tongue, eyeing the body oddly.
<Drasek> Darien. *he says his name now, to get his attention*
<DeathStar> 6* Darien looks up. "What?"
<Drasek> What should be do? Do we hunt her down?
<DeathStar> <Darien> ... I don't know. 6* He taps his fingers on the bed. "But with Winters dead, she'll be after Aya again."
* Angela leads them out to her car, taking the time to make sure they're both strapped in before getting in herself.
* Drasek nods his head once. "So we wait?"
<DeathStar> <Darien> We wait.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien taps the table one more time and moves out of the room
<Drasek> Right, then. *he shifts to step out as well*
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> -TIME JUMP-
<DeathStar> Location: Unknown Location
<DeathStar> 6* Chad Winters would awaken on a bed
* Chad`Winters groans as he moves his left hand for the wound in his chest
<DeathStar> 6* There's indeed a wound, plus some device on his chest, that seems to be regulating something
<DeathStar> <Alexander> I'd becareful with that
<DeathStar> 6* Alexander steps up from the side of the room
* Chad`Winters opens his eyes, squinting as he turns towards Alexander's voice.
<Chad`Winters> W-Where am I?
<DeathStar> <Alexander> Somewhere safe. You nearly died today.
<DeathStar> 6* Alexander takes a seat beside Chad's bed, folding one leg over the other, clasping his hands together
<Chad`Winters> Last thing I remember...6His eyes open wide. 1"Eve's alive."
<DeathStar> <Alexander> Hm. So it would seem. 6* He frowns.
* Chad`Winters tries to sit up.
<DeathStar> 6* Chad's body strains, but is able to sit up somehow
* Chad`Winters leans forward, breathing with strained effort. He looks down at his chest.
<DeathStar> 6* The device seems to be giving off some power, and it's energy output is middle of the line
<Chad`Winters> What did you do to me?
<DeathStar> <Alexander> Your heart and lungs were fried by her bullet. That device is helping your organs work. For now.
* Chad`Winters 's eyes look ahead. 1"Makes sense...So I have a time limit than. How long do I have than?"
<DeathStar> <Alexander> As long as you don't stress your body, the energy output can go indefinitely.
<DeathStar> <Alexander> If it goes red, then you're in trouble.
<Chad`Winters> You can clone a human but you can't clone a heart and a lung.
<DeathStar> <Alexander> We can. It'll take time, though.
<DeathStar> <Alexander> And I'm assuming you don't want to wait.
<Chad`Winters> I can't wait. So tell me the limits.
<DeathStar> <Alexander> It's experimental. The more you tax your body - running, jumping, fighting, the more energy it'll draw to keep your organs going.
<DeathStar> <Alexander> Other than that, I can't really say.
<Chad`Winters> Any brain damage?
<DeathStar> <Alexander> Doubtful. You're too much the same.
<Chad`Winters> How fast can you make me a tact suit?
<DeathStar> 6* Alexander adjusts his suit some. "The world thinks you're dead, Winters. Which means V.I. thinks it. And you'll have a small window of opportunity to act. As for the tactical suit, we have one ready.
<DeathStar> <Alexander> I hope you don't mind, but I'd like to raise up Eve Summers' body and see if she's in the casket.
* Chad`Winters studies him. 1"I want to know myself too."
<DeathStar> <Alexander> Good. Because if she's not, then we have something of a miracle on our hands.
* Chad`Winters runs his hands through his hairs, a troubled look on his face now.
<DeathStar> <Alexander> I'll get the casket and have it brought here. For now, rest.
<DeathStar> 6* Alexander stands.
* Chad`Winters leans back in his bed, his eyes staring back up at the cieling.
<DeathStar> 6* Alexander walks out
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: Angela's House
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis sits on the roof, eyeing the sun setting.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya lays in Erevis' bed, having cried herself to sleep. Zephyr sits on the floor beside the bed
* Angela sits with her, looking at Aya quietly.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> ...
* Drasek peers in at the two quietly.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I'm going to kill her. 6* She mumbles darkly.
* Drasek arches a brow. "Kill Aya's mother?"
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> That thing isn't Aya's mother. 6* She snaps.
* Angela gently fixes Aya's hair. "Zephyr... it could be."
<Drasek> Yeah, luv. You don't know for sure."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I said it's not
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr rises, anger on her face.
<Angela> "Biological, only I mean."
<Angela> "Remember that she and I were used as tools in the past."
<Drasek> If she's not. I'll gladly help you. *he notes with a shrug*
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I'm going to kill her. Because she killed Chad. And I don't care who the hell is 'controlling her'
<DeathStar> 
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr storms out, shoving past Drasek
<Angela> "There's more then just one person to kill here."
<Drasek> Hey. Don't go shoving me about because you're pissed! *he walks after her*
* Angela closes her eyes and sighs softly.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Save it, Drasek. 6* She heads for the front door
* Angela gets up and heads after her. "Zephyr."
* Drasek groans. "Right. I'm the bad guy. Sorry, hit on me whenever you need."
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr just opens the door and steps out, closing the door with a slam
* Angela opens it up and heads after her. "Zephyr!"
<Kitzzzune> 6Megumi stands before the porch, her hands behind her. She tilts her head as Zephyr appears, then Angela again.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr looks over her shoulder. "Save it, Angela."
* Kuroichigo has quit IRC (Quit: jmIrc destroyed by the OS)
<Angela> "Save what? You have a girl in there who's gonna need you here when she wakes."
<Angela> "I know you're angry, I am too."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Aya can handle herself fine for now. What's important is killing that bitch before she gets near her again
* Angela blinks a bit and nods.
<Angela> "Alright... if you want to go looking keep in touch."
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr just gives her a Warren look, and moves on. Erevis peers down at them from her rooftop
* Angela rubs the back of her head and sighs a bit, turning and heading back inside to watch over Aya.
<Kitzzzune> 6Megumi peers upward, tapping her lip as she gazes at Erevis as Angela re-enters.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis looks back out at the setting sun
