"Yeah well your kind took my family from me too. The unnecessary fear of what we might become. Your kind is just as bad, just as many murders, probably more. The difference between me and you is that I learn to find a family in those who I meet. So if you ever hurt Mai, or Carter, or even Shane I will make sure next time it isn't just your gun exploding taking out your hand. I can do far worse than that, I hope you know. If I can make a robot turn on one of it's own. Imagine what I can make it do to you." Colton threatened while still protecting Lucas and Carter right up to the point in which the scene froze and everything shut down. It fell quiet and he hoped that Lyle didn't catch anything he just said, especially him admitting about the gun. If he did, well he might be in huge trouble.

Colton backed up to Carter when Kye entered. The girl made him very uncomfortable and she didn't seem very happy with him. "Come on Carter, lets get out of here." Colton said grabbing the small boy's hand. He hurried out of the room before anyone could change their minds about telling them to leave. He quickly made his way to Carters cell, looking behind him on occasion, scared that someone would come after him to punish him for what he did. He wasn't' going to let that happen with Carter with him.

Reaching the boys cell, Colton stayed outside but led the boy in. "Carter listen to me. You know nothing about the situation with the gun. You didn't hear what I said over the robots. If anyone asks tell them to talk to me. Get some sleep and don't try to escape. I will figure out a way and when I do I will come and get you. Just stay out of trouble. I am going to make them wish they never brought me here." Colton instructed as he began to feel dizzy, he had used up too much energy in there and on top of that inhaled a lot of poison gas.

Colton stumbled back to his cell not looking in the best shape and sounding even worse with his coughing. He knew he had to get them out of their but didn't know how, and given how sick he was, it was going to be incredibly difficult. It took twice as long as it should have for Colton to reach his cell, and once inside he collapsed on his bed. He kept up the appearance that he was coping fine for Carter's sake. He didn't want the boy to worry. But the reality of it was he was not fine, not after the simulation. Perhaps after some sleep things would be better. Colton didn't even look at Mai before he passed out on his bed, even the fear of his punishment couldn't keep him awake that night, if he was even punished. Lyle didn't seem too interested now that he thought about it. He would just have to see how the next day went.


Isabella ignored Shanes comment as she wandered off to the small storage room that she had set a bed up in. She needed some sleep if she was going to go play with a brain the next day. This would be so much fun. Isabella laid down as images of what might happen danced in her head. She quickly reviewed what to do in order to work on someones brain safely while they were still awake in her mind before deciding she had done enough for the day and fell asleep. Not many people knew that she actually set up a bed to sleep here. She hadn't felt like going home, not with all the excitement of the subjects. But she couldn't have them knowing she was living their either, Shane would never shut up.


The connection with Danni ended leaving Brendan sitting their in silence. He turned from his programming to finishing the floor plans. The program would have to wait until morning at this rate. Usually Brendan enjoyed silence but today he didn't. It was too silent right now. That was part of the reason that he decided to wait till morning for the program. Staying up all night in silence my just drive him nuts. It didn't take Brendan long to finish the floor plans just as he had mapped them in his mind. At least they were set on that front. Brendan sent three copies of plans to Errol, one with just the lay out, one with the camera's and one with the sewers. He then proceeded to print out three copies of each and place them in a spare folder. With that done and a quick check of his serves used for his business, Brendan finally decided it was time for him to get some sleep.


"Interesting indeed. Since there was no verdict reached yet and well, my daughter exploded the door of the last cell she was in, I will go take watch on the cells over night. If either of them awake they could cause some trouble." Jason told those remaining in the room, Joshua had already left. "Thanks for the stitches Walter, I owe you one." Jason said with a wave as he exited the room. Jason also talked to Walter as a friend. Like Joshua he had known him for a while and was fairly comfortable around him. There was so many young people around the organization those few more mature members were what got Jason's attention and liking.

Down the hall Jason took a seat on a chair that was pretty close to an even distance between Cynthia and Tobias. He settled there with a sigh as his eyes scanned the hall, the blood on the floor, the shards of exploded door. Everything was such a mess and he couldn't help but think it was his fault for bringing Cynthia here in the first place, especially knowing what her mother was. He felt like such an idiot for thinking it a good idea, and more so one for becoming attached to the girl.​

Camilla held out her hand for the bread crumbs when someone else walked over, the person that Gwen introduced as Ken. "Yes she did. Hi I am Camilla!" Camilla said with a wave, getting distracted from feeding the bird for a moment. "I won't tell any one it was you guys, I don't think they would care though." Camilla assured them... And that was when an angry old man came over. He snatched the crumbs away and fed the bird while yelling at them. Camilla shied away as he did so. She was not used to being yelled at. Being in the hospital all she ever got was idol sympathy and excuses why no one could help her, no one yelled at her for anything, not that she was able to do anything wrong anyhow.

Camilla watched as the bird flew from her shoulder up to the hole after being fed. It disappeared inside and the sound stopped then it came back down to her shoulder. Noticing the ribbon on it's neck Camilla gently took the key off and looked at the other two, then to the boy asking for help with a box. She dangled the key between the three of them. "Should we go help?" She asked before turning around and walking up to the boy. "Um... Hi... uh, my bird found this and I wondered if it might help." Camilla said nervously as she held out he key.


No one responded to Caleb yelling, but someone did call his name, saying that Tasha had left him flowers. The boy walked up and snatched the card from the guys hand and stared at it for a moment. Tasha, that was his sister, he knew that but he was struggling to remember what she looked like. "I don't want the flowers." Caleb said dismissively not knowing what to think anymore, or do about anything really so he just stood there as he looked from the boy who called his name, to the flowers, and then to the floor not having anything else to say.​

Jason sat and listened to Benjamin explain his thoughts, going back to what they were planning to do with Cynthia before moving to Tobias. "Cynthia won't know how to run any sort of business so if she wants to live then she will have to accept our missions if she wants money. Unless we offer some sort of allowance. However doing that means we are still supporting her like an agent. So that might be an issue. The child is old enough to be cut off but not necessarily experienced enough which is a trouble." Jason started as he thought about Cynthia's well being. "That being said she will have to learn the consequences of her actions and that is fine. If we don't bail her out then it is a chance for her to learn.

Jason then took time to address Tobias. "As much as I would like to say that we should just put an end to the boy and be done with it, my opinion is bias based on how he treats me and Cynthia, so I am going to remove that from the equation. But you are right, he has no regard for authority and shouldn't be kept here, not with the way he treats other members. He has no regard for them and makes it hard to have a functioning organization. Throwing him out however may mean a danger for the general public, though throwing Cynthia out means the same." Jason said throwing his opinion in the mix but not suggesting what to do.


"Well he must have if he is still alive. He is still fighting, he wants to see another day yet." Brendan thought back knowing what he knew about how it seems that they were being treated, Colton couldn't just be sitting around not trying and still be alive. "Lets hope that he keeps that attitude of trying when he gets back here." Brendan continued to comment putting a more positive spin on things. He refused to think that they would not be successful in this rescue operation. Failure was not an option, not when there were four lives on the line.

"Thanks for the update. If you need to talk, you know where to contact me. I don't mind. Oh, and Danni. try to get some sleep okay?" Brendan messaged Danni back. Brendan cared deeply for the girl and only realized it more with this whole fiasco and people getting hurt and taken and he still found himself wondering if she was alright and getting enough sleep. And he worried about her safety. He didn't want to leave her when Errol called him back, he just knew he had to. With Jex beat up and Colton taken, Brendan felt no where was safe and just wanted to protect her in whatever way he could. That being said she was a far more capable fighter than he was, he was simply the tech expert.


Isabella took one look at Shane when he returned. He looked tired. "Hm... You look too tired, I can't have you falling asleep during my next experiment. Come now we will take Mai back to her cell then I will return you to yours. Now be a dear and take the IV and heart monitor again." Isabella said before unlocking the wheels on Mai's bed and starting down the hall. "Sorry I couldn't do the experiment today. But don't worry I will do it tomorrow. I know you are disappointed but I need you rested up!" Isabella said with an air of excitement as she put Mai in her cell.

Leaving their she stopped by Lyle before taking Shane back. "Lyle, you can keep Colton again tomorrow, and have Mai back. I only need Shane today and I mean I don't want a perfectly good subject to go to waste." Isabella said not paying mind to what was happening on the other side of the glass. From there she headed off towards Shane's cell.


The first robot didn't quite work as well as he hoped. It didn't completely shut down but it wasn't functioning properly. They were lucky that because of what Colton did, it missed them. The other robot he manipulated, it worked, and it stabbed another robot. They have another ally now, that was good. Allies where good in this situation. Carter even stepped up and helped them a lot, but it seemed like it took a lot out of him. "Don't worry too much, take your time. I will protect you." Colton said as he looked over his shoulder. However this was not the worst of it.

Colton looked up to see robots above him too. Damn flying things sending bomb like things flying down at him. "Come on, we need to move." Colton said grabbing Carters arm and pulling him into a run, taking shelter in one of the buildings. However her grabbed the boy with his injured arm. Colton refused to show the pain though and kept going. Once in the building where they were protected from some of the bombs he noticed the door open and Lucas enter.

"Ally or not I will not treat you like one. You don't deserve it. I will protect Carter but if you are about to get hurt, well good." Colton responded to the man as he entered. A red ball landed near an open side of the building and Colton turned around sheltering Carter. The blast stung his back a bit but he was fine for the most part. Colton turned back around to see Lucas pull out a gun, and a smirk appeared on Coltons face.

The gun fired but no bullet came out, instead the chamber of the gun blew up in Lucas' hand. This gave Colton a level of satisfaction. However he looked at the man who had just completely loss use of his hand from the gun and then at the robot flying above a blue bomb was dropping and Colton did the only think he could manage and manipulated the course of the falling object so it landed on a robot below. "Stay here!" He ordered Carter before running out into the open. He used his bullets to fire at the robots to distract them and used push/pull to bring Lucas closer.

By the time Colton got to Lucas he was panting from all the energy he exerted to protect and get to Lucas. "This doesn't mean I like you." Colton said as he coughed which distracted him long enough to let a gas bomb drop on them. This set Colton in another major coughing fit, but he stood over Lucas protecting him from any other attacks despite his lunges burning and eyes watering. "You are lucky I am still helping you despite everything thing you have done to me, what you have taken away. I should just let you die. If you hurt or lay a single finger on my family I can and will kill you, you don't want to test me on that, trust me.Get in the damn house." Colton managed to say before he began coughing again, dropping to one knee, but he still did anything his powers let him do to protect them until Lucas was in a more safe place. The family Colton spoke about was not his real family but he was thinking of Errol who may come to save him. Thinking of Mai who was just barely holding on. Carter who was so young yet ripped away from his family. If Lucas touched any of them he would pay for it
​

Gwen let Hunter go ahead and stop Akira before walking ahead to catch up. "Look I am sorry for all that okay." Gwen said not going to defend herself though she felt like she could share her reasons. "If you are truly the only person here though what is the point of staying? Is it not incredibly lonely? I don't think I can make you trust me or us but I can make an offer and that is it. There is a group of us searching for this hero, not just us meaning you can have nothing to do with us after. We have traveled to many worlds. You help us, we get you off this island and give you an adventure. However if you don't want to then you can stay here all by yourself left wondering what lies beyond this island." Gwen hoped the incentive of adventure would be enough for her but if she didn't want to come, well that wasn't her problem.


Alisia released the barrier that covered her as she began to run forward. This beast, if people could claim lives for themselves, this was hers. She had the right to take the life of the beast if she could. But Dane was harming it a lot more effectively than she could and she didn't trust herself to use her magic against it. Her magic wasn't strong enough. She didn't know how to use it properly either, it wasn't reliable. It seemed that she would have to go about taking it's life the old fashion way, simply with her weapon.

It didn't take long for Alisia to close the distance and beginning to attack. She could only manage attacks on it's arm that was close enough for her to reach and manage attack. She knew now to watch for attacks and she did, avoiding most attacks she was able to run and dodge around doing some damage, but no where
as much damage as Dane. "It is almost dead, isn't it?" Alisia called out.

Name: Alec Style
Age: (18-25): 22
Personality: Alec is the trouble maker around school. He doesn't give a crap about anyone else. He thinks only about himself and doesn't care to follow the rules. He is harsh in attitude usually never making an effort to make friends. He also likes a good fight every now and then and to piss teachers off by proving them wrong.
History: Alec's past is his to know and his only. As a child his father abused his mother in front of him on a regular basis. When his mother and him finally escaped they had to leave everything and run as far as they could that night, the next night using all the money his mom had to buy a plane ticket and fly out of the country to a far away new place. This was the start of Alec's problem attitude. His mom got remarried to a man he didn't like and would often avoid. They had a baby girl together. However the couple was too obsessed with each other to give the child the attention it needed, so often Alec would come home from school and end up feeding it and changing it before locking himself in his room.Two years ago the girl, who had grown to be 10, was kidnapped from the camp site when Alec's mother and step father left her there alone, in the middle of the forest. A couple days later Alec moved out with next to no money in his name, but he refused to stay in that house. He doesn't tell anyone any of this.

"Home..." Thomas echoed quietly. He hadn't truly had a home since his mother died, and he found it just as hard to find somewhere he felt comfortable calling home. He didn't have the time to find another home, it would be a waste. "Yeah they seems really comfortable, like everyone is really close too." Thomas said at last.​

​

Then the topic of needing a friend over a girlfriend came up. "I guess... but you know those times you just want a hug, or hold someone close through a hard time? You can't do that with just a friend. I mean I want both. It is nice to just talk but sometimes I want more. I want someone to care for me and that I can care for. A reason to fight I guess..." Thomas explained before his face turned slightly red hearing himself and all the things he was opening up to say. "Listen no one knows this side of me exists. Please don't tell anyone. I will never hear the end of it if Gaius finds out." Thomas said in a little more of an urgent tone.


Wow it didn't even take Leo a year to pass the S-class trials. It was certainly impressive. But then something occurred to her. "Wait, you were around my town four years ago during the attack, but you weren't even in the guild? No one ever comes to my town unless they are business men making deals with all the business men in town. That is all it is known for a trading center." She explained. They got guilds in a fair amount but that was because of the nature of their town it tended to get in trouble a lot with bandits and such desperate for the wealth that the town had.

Silvia sat quietly and listened to Leo talk about his parents, apparently he didn't know them. This made her curious about a lot of things to do with his parents and the man that apparently raised him but from the sadness in the tone of his voice, Silvia though it best not to asked about it. She didn't want to make Leo more upset in anyway, not after he had come over and helped her. "I have no doubt they would. Who wouldn't be proud of their son joining a guild to help people and making it to S-Class in less than a year." Silvia said trying to lighten the mood, she then looked around. "Besides it seems like you have found a family here. This place just gives off that vibe you know. One big happy family... I don't know if I fit into it but you seem to." Silvia encouraged.​

don't have Netflix, the internet here is painfully slow to stream movies online and tvs aren't a thing here, not that the students can access

"Great!" Serenity exclaimed as she clapped her hands together when Zane agreed to come to her show the following night. Even one more fan would help her save up money, eventually she would move out of home, but she had a student loan to pay off first. She needed all the money she could get as fast as she could get it.

Once inside Jay continued to talk to her... well sort of. She didn't know if she would really call what he was doing talking since he was kind of on and off talking and trying to keep his cool and failing horribly at it. In some ways she was flattered that he was so interested in her music, but it was also creepy at the same time. She didn't know how to deal with it. At least he didn't seem like some of the other creepers that she came across after shows. Half drunk guys that try to force themselves on her. There was a reason she started to carry pepper spray with her wherever she went. But Jay didn't seem that desperate, so she figured that she could cope with him. He was just slightly too big of a fan.

When Zane and Jay answered her question she looked down a little sad. "I am sorry to here that, both of you..." She said before looking up at them. "I am not here for quite the same purpose. I just keep seeing so much bad stuff on the news I am sick of just sitting around and wallowing in my own self pity instead of helping other people. I just figured this would be a good opportunity to help out in the world in a small way." Serenity said in a soft, still calm voice. She then quietly began to sing the English version of the song she had been working on translating to English. The song way Why by Ayaka. "Your inner eye has clouded over so much that it is impossible for you to see. Does any emotion still reside in the depth of your heart..." Serenity kept singing quietly as she walked forward and pet the bird lightly on it's head. She just wanted to quiet the situation and pass the time while they waited for more people to show up before someone got too upset.​

Serenity didn't take too long finding the classroom they were meeting in, she had a class in that room the previous semester. She seemed to be the first to arrive at the door so hesitated before going to open it. In the time she hesitated a man walked up behind her asking if she was there for the club and commenting on its long name. Serenity stopped her singing in the middle of her song to answer. "It isn't so long if you just call it the S.O.I.C. She commented before turning back to the door, but yes I am here for it. Glad I am not alone for attending." Serenity said with a smile. She had been a little nervous that no one else would show up and she would awkwardly be sitting there along, but that didn't seem to be happening. "My name is Serenity. Nice to meet you." She said with a smile. Her hands were too full gripping her books to her chest to shake hands so the smile would have to suffice.

The sound of a bird caused Serenity to turn away from Jay to another man approaching with a bird perched on his shoulder. "Aw he is so cute. Zane you said right? What is his name?" Serenity asked as she lifted a figure up to pet the bird. She stopped however as Zane complimented her. It was odd being recognized for working at a coffee shop, not singing at one or her youtube channel. "Oh, thanks. Yeah I work at the coffee shop on campus part time. It is just a job to make ends meet, singing is what I am really into, but not making much money off it yet. I am singing at a local club if you want to come tomorrow. I mean you don't have to just a suggestion." She said. She wanted to promote herself, her youtube channel, her local events she played, but she didn't want to push it on anyone. She then followed Zane inside and took a seat near the front of the room, putting down her pile of books and papers.

Serenity took out two pieces of paper, one with english lyrics she was still working on memorizing, the other a blank one for notes during the meeting. Opening her pencil case she had an assortment of coloured pens. All her notes ere colour coded and her songs had many lines underlined just as reminders for herself. The pages were quite colourful. With her things sorted she turned back to the guys. "So what brings you two to this meeting, you certainly aren't here to just listen to me sing." She asked them before slowly humming the tune she had stuck in her head.​

Camilla felt the warmth of the bird on her neck and smiled, she even giggled slightly. However the giggle sounded out of place, almost embarrassing. Given the current situation, it seemed no place for giggling. But she had accepted her death, meaning their was room for enjoyment. Some others however didn't. Camilla had been waiting to die for months before she did, it wasn't unexpected for her. She noticed it was looking at the ceiling again, so she too looked up. "What is going on up there? Do you have any idea?" She asked the bird gently as she pet the top of it's head.

It was then that another girl walked over to her. She brought some bread crumbs and began to introduce herself. "Perhaps he would. You can try feeding it to him." Camilla said not sure how else to respond to it. She didn't know what the bird would want. "My name is Camilla Shrinder. Nice to meet you." Camilla said in a slightly awkward tone. She didn't know if she was allowed to sound happy or not, and what else she should say. Social situations were hard, but social situations when everyone just died were worse.


Eventually after sitting with the letter in his hand for a long moment Caleb decided to open it and see exactly what this was all about. The letter was so cheery. What was so cheery about being dead, except you were no longer a burden to those you cared about? Apparently there was going to be some sort of meeting as well. A big waste of time is what that would be. Caleb threw the letter on the ground beside him and simply watched as the roof opened. It was certainly odd but this whole thing was odd, it was none of his concern. Grumbling he stood up. "When is this damn meeting thing going to start. Sooner it starts the sooner it is over and I can go on with my dead life." He spoke irritated with everything. ​

"Any questions for you? Let me think." Silvia said caught a little off guard by it. She didn't know what she should ask, but she needed to ask something. It was unfair for Leo to have to listen about her problems and life story and not listen to anything he had to say. She didn't know much about him. She knew he was S-class but he looked so young, that was peculiar. "How old are you? How did you become S-class so young? The the S-class I have seen have been adults. It is really quite impressive." Silvia commented. And it sounded like he had been around for a while. Silvia was one of the youngest there besides Thea, but Thea was a special case. She had no where else to go. If Leo was around the guild four years ago then would have been impressive. "What do your parents think of you being here?" She also asked, thinking again how his age and the amount of time he seemed to have spent here might play into things.
​

Brendan thought of the way he talked to Nicole, perhaps he worded things wrong. "To clarify I would do this for you even if Colton wasn't taken, it is just additional motives for me. More reason for me to give it all I got. Sorry if it seemed like I didn't care for Carter." Brendan said telepathically before receiving a telepathic communication from Errol warning him not to over work himself cause they needed him ready for the next day. He took the warning but felt no need to reply.

As Brendan got started on his work, doing the program first he got another communication, this one from Danni. "No I am awake, and going to be for a while yet. Gotta make a program from scratch, that isn't a quick job." Brendan replied as he heard Danni say that Jex was awake. "Good to hear, and it might be for the best, I mean if he doesn't remember it he won't remember how horrible it was, that part of the whole thing won't haunt him ever." Brendan tried to reassure her. "I was able to hack into the labs security camera's for a bit. Colton is very much alive but not in good shape. These people... They have four people who appear to be under the age of twenty their. All in horrible state, if not physically, emotionally. They are torturing them. I have to save them." At first Brendan tried to just explain things but then his emotions took over and he realized how desperate he really was to help.
How he couldn't stand what he saw. That only pushed his fingers to go faster as he tapped away on his keyboard creating code that he would need for his program.


Jason followed Walter. He took a seat when motioned to. However when Walter mentioned the order he was planning on doing things in, Jason waved him off. Mine has already been treated and wrapped. "I think you should worry about Kassandra's first. Mine just need stitches probably, it can wait." Jason said in his normal emotionless voice. Despite this situation having to directly deal with his personal life, he seemed to not care much. If there was anything that he got out of his years at Raven Sun, it was how to play the part of emotionless leader type. He had learned to keep his emotions disconnected in order to be a more effective leader in a way. Though the people here he really wasn't the leader of. He was second in command but he had the mind to know who he needed to bother with, and these were pretty much his equals. Jason mostly dealt with matters involving the job board and conflicts among many of the members. He rarely let his emotions get the better of him, Tobias was a special case. He may have been Raven Sun second in command first, father second, but he was still a father even if Cynthia was not his own flesh and blood.​

Alisia still doubted the fact she would be any good with magic. The only magic she was ever able to cast before she got the darkness was Doom. But he said he would train her so perhaps she would learn eventually to use it, she didn't know. She did hope she would to some extent. "I once believed that everyone had a little light in them once. I can't promise that any more, but I can still hope right? There might be some somewhere deep down?" Alisia said softly, not wanting to sound too forceful. She didn't want to make him mad.

He then summoned a heartless, one that was all too familiar to her. She still had nightmares about it when it had come and helped destroy her planet. Now Dane wanted to kill it. Wanted her to kill it as an apology. She began to tremble. She didn't know if see could fight it, but Dane said it would save lots of worlds. She figured that he could just summon another one but it was worth a shot.

Raising her keyblade up in and took a stance that Dane had taught her earlier in their training. She stared at the monster for a moment until it attacked and she had no choice but to move. Alisia was sent running from it, but it soon stopped moving, it's giant hand at a level that she could reach it. It wouldn't do much but it was better than nothing, so Alisia ran at the hand and started to hit it with her keyblade, concentrating on the move that Dane taught her to get through the fight. However because of this she didn't notice the dark ball of energy flying and landing near her foot causing her to get sent flying back. She let out a shriek as she hit the ground. However she didn't stop, she got back up again. Alisia tried to use the barrier she was earlier but it wasn't working. "I-I can't do it..." She said disappointed in herself. But as another ball of dark energy came flying she put up her arms to protect her face and screamed as it was about to hit her, but it didn't. Slowly she opened her eyes to see a barrier in front of her, this one clear as glass and seeming a lot stronger. Seeing this she felt a bit more confident, ready to go back into battle.


Sapphire stood in horror as Lexcifur attacked his mother. She thought he would learn by now. He would control his temper. And attacking people in front of the goddess was not a good idea. Sapphire wouldn't punish him though. All she wanted was for him and her kids to come back home, attacking or punishing Lexcifur wouldn't make that happen any easier. She did however have to put an end to all this.

Casting a powerful spell that made everything around her stop moving, including the two combatants. She then took a deep breath trying to find the right words to say. "I know nothing I say will matter to you, but listen anyways Lucifer. Your fathers death was not your mothers fault. If you want to blame anyone blame me. You see he had a lot of darkness in his heart and it slowly grew out of control. The rate the darkness increased only grew due to his hatred of me no matter how hard I tried to make things right. He hated me for what I did to you. It got too much and he turned on Xero... It was just an accident." Sapphire tried to maintain a calm voice just it was shaky as she wanted to cry.

"Hate me all you like Lucifer, I deserve it but don't hate your mother and please just keep my children safe. You still aren't ready to come home. I can see it in your eyes. You are allowed home but you won't come, and with that neither will my children, so I beg, take care of them. Especially Freya, she is naive and absent minded sometimes and despite my best efforts I cant make all the worlds perfectly safe for her. Zavion is tough but he needs her looking out for him too. He is physically strong but his mind over works and he worries himself over too much." Sapphire said as she released the stop spell and looked at Lexcifur. "You came here for a reason, so please share, if you are not going to share what that reason is, and you don't plan to move back home, I have to ask you to leave. There is currently a homicidal manic on the loose that Beuce and Stratos are trying to defeat. I need to protect the civilians." Sapphire tried to sound as professional as possible, though her heart was breaking.


With Gwen's offer in place and Hunter back to his normal self, things could go back to normal at last. "Before we go rushing off, we should let the girl answer first. She may know stuff that we don't." Gwen commented as she looked back to the girl. "Besides MoK's characters ought to eventually make it to us right. They can't always be in some unknown place." Gwen commented using a little thing known as logic, something Hunter probably never heard of. "Wanna make out while we wait?" She asked him not know how long until either of the other people post, it seemed more fun then just standing there. Gwen didn't wait for an answer before wrapping her arms around Hunters neck.​

Karina had finished her recording to her brother, sat on the ground pointlessly for a while, and now she needed to move. She still didn't care much for going to talk to people and she didn't plan on it, but coming out of hiding most likely meant that she was going to have to. Standing up stretching her back and legs Karina began to move around, making her way towards the town square. She knew it would be busy around their but it was a nice walking place.

Putting in her headphones Karina made her way to a small food stand and bought herself something to eat. The last thing she ate was ice cream, which was not the best thing, and she couldn't remember the last time she ate before that. With food in hand Karina truly began her somber walk. It wasn't like she had anything better to do with her time.

Camilla jumped and dropped the box as a small bird came out of it. She looked around at the others then picked up her box and walked over to the small bird, doing her best not to scare it off. She drew closer as if she was going to pet it, but her attention got drawn away by a ringing of a bell and a crack. Camilla looked up to see a hole in the roof far above and a strange humming noise. A machine? It was possible. Camilla looked to the others for help on the situation. She wanted to ask them but she felt silly asking, everyone would be asking the same question wouldn't they?

Turning back to the bird Camilla finally felt that she could talk sort of, at least if it counts as talking when the only words spoken were to a bird. "Hi there, what were you doing in a box? Are you dead too, do birds also have an afterlife?" Camilla asked it as she brought her index finger up to gently pet the birds. She didn't want to be rough with it, but at the same time there wasn't much her thin, weak body could do to it.​

Serenity hummed a quiet tune while her class dragged on. She never really cared for her classes. The whole idea of college was a bore to her, but it got her out of the house and made her counselor happy. Why she was still in counseling came down to one simple thing. She enjoyed the company and having someone to talk to. She had started it right after her mom passed away from cancer to deal with the grief, but now she was fine, she just didn't have many friends, and really no one to talk to about things. They weren't actual sessions either. She had stopped those a while ago. She just happen to go out for coffee with the lady every week or so now. Sometimes it was less, depending on how busy they both were really.

As the class got dismissed Serenity picked up her papers. It looked like she was taking notes the entire time but really she was translating and rewording a Japanese song for the new English cover that she was planning to do. Even on her paper that contained her actual notes, doodles and music notes bordered them. "Thank you." Serenity said to her professor politely before wandering out of the classroom, no where near as in a hurry to be anywhere. Serenity took the attributes of her name, she was always nice, and calm and quiet and relaxed. She never seemed to be in a rush to get anywhere even when she had to get somewhere and was running late. She would thank her teachers after every class for teaching her and usually offer to help them clean up if needed, today she couldn't.

Today was the first meeting of the S.O.I.C. Though Serenity didn't have any ties to the events that this club was focused on investigating, she was sick of not doing anything to help anyone though she watched so much pain on the television. She wanted to be helpful to someone. Her music was good but it didn't do anything to help, yet even still she hung onto it, wanting to make a career out of it. She already had a successful youtube channel, and usually got a couple musical gigs a month, but that wasn't enough to make a living off of. On top of her music and school she still needed a job, so she worked as a barrister at the coffee shop that was on campus. Needless to say this kept her quite busy but she was still adding another thing to her list of stuff to do, and she was quite excited to it.

Serenity made her way to the meeting place while she started to practice singing the English lyrics to the song she had translated in class. At the beginning she was struggling to get the tune right with the new sounding lyrics but soon enough she got it. The dark haired girl seemed quite at peace as she walked, nearing the location. She didn't know what to expect from all this but that was half the fun.

As Tobias addressed him Jason had to focus on quelling his anger. The boy did not know of what he spoke. He did what he could to make him sound like the bad guy, and tried to use Cynthia's mother against him. That one didn't work. He never truly loved the woman, just a good act for nine years. The details on the mission however were classified, only a few people around at the time of the mission knew, that being him, Joshua, and Benjamin for sure knew. He didn't know who else might have found out or had access to the information at the time or who Ben might have told more recently for the safety of others against Cynthia.

Jason approached the boy as he finished talking, not letting the anger from the boy's words take control. He was able to keep a straight face pretty well, void of all emotions despite what was twisting around inside. He picked the boy up to stop him from moving any closer to Cynthia's cell, then threw him against the wall. He barely heard the last words before the kid passed out.

Upon Benjamin's request Jason picked Tobias up and moved him to the furthest cell from Cynthia. Locking the door he returned in time to hear the confirmation of Cynthia's powers. Jason let out a long sigh, this whole thing was a big mess. Why would she call Tobias anyways? Despite Tobias' claims she didn't seem to like him that much. "Whatever we do with him, he is not working with my daughter, not with the way he acts when around her. He is like a damn desperate love struck puppy." Jason stated, though it wasn't much his call to make.

Walter then made a decent suggestion. "Make that three, my side still hasn't stopped bleeding since my fight with Cynthia." He stated looking down at his blood soaked bandage. He wasn't one to ask for help, and in a way he still wasn't, he really just wanted to sit down and hope that would help a bit. "Lead the way. We still probably have another good few hours before Cynth wakes up and we have a problem on our hands once again." He stated looking over at the cell that the door exploded on. I she did that again they would be in trouble.


Lyle denied Lucas' request. Well damn that sucked. Colton was looking forward to watching Lucas try to shoot something and the gun blowing up on him. At the very least they were informed that they were not fighting each other but together against robots. In some ways that was good news. Being locked in their with Carter, Colton slowly walked back towards a wall. He let go of Carters hand and used his good arm to shield Carter. With their backs towards the wall were nothing could come from behind he could protect the boy with relative ease, being able to see where everything would be coming from. "Stay behind me." Colton ordered before letting out a few coughs and refocusing.

As the robots came in, all he could think about was how similar these were to one of Danni's tests, but this time he had to take it seriously. He didn't have that many powers that were good for more than trouble making, but he had a few. Colton started with the first robot by trying to fry it's circuits before grabbing a handful of pebbles. Holding them in front of him at a decent height for attacking, he used his telekinetic bullet ability to fire them at the robot. He then went back to using object manipulation on a second robot trying to manipulate the programming so it would attack the other robots. He hadn't seen his manipulation power work on the robot yet, but he was also less determined at the time. He hoped now it would work. At the same time he used his object manipulation to try to unlock the door, not unlatch it but unlock it so that if he or Carter needed to make an escape they could. If the robots got close enough Colton also had another trick up his sleeve, a talent he didn't want to show until he had to. Until then he would keep it hidden for an emergency.


Isabella came up with a plan that she wanted to try and she knew a way to make Shane come, or if he didn't come it didn't matter. "I don't have to reveal my tests to you, but I will tell you that I only need one person for this test and if you don't come to do it then I guess I will have to do it on Mai. It will be quite painful but research on the origins and hence how to get rid of powers." Isabella sent him deciding she wanted to prod around in a brain and see if she could stimulate the part that gave them powers. If she could manipulate them to make them work or shut them down. It might give her the key to unlocking both types of powers in Colton and thus giving her more to research. If she managed to find a way to shut them off as well, well that would just be a bonus for Shane wouldn't it. At the very least she hoped if she connected that part of Shane's brain to the same part of Coltons brain and give it some juice, electrodes and information might start copying and then that would be great. But she needed to work on one brain first. Lyle could keep Colton for another few days in the meantime.


"I will work on a program tonight. Please let me be one of the ones that goes in. If I can get on their computers I can cause an entire mess of trouble and give you more time than a program ever could." Brendan requested. He shut off the map and turned back to His computers. "I will also finish up the floor plans tonight, we'll need them. I can't always be around to project the the map I have got in my mind." Brendan joked letting out a small laugh before letting it fade into the grim moment.

He turned back to Nicole as she spoke. "To be perfectly honest this isn't all for you. I have been here for nine years, a year longer than Colton. I saw the shape he was in when he came here. Believe it or not he was worse than he is now. I don't know why crap like this happens just to him while we are here safe, but I won't let them have him. I won't allow him to get back to the state he was when he first got here. I don't know how many more near death experiences he can handle." Brendan admitted before turning away once again. "But as Errol said you guys could use some rest. So goodnight. I will have all the extra stuff ready by morning, so don't worry about it and get some sleep." He dismissed the young mom so he could get back to his own work. He wanted to get it done in time that he could at the very least catch a few hours of shut eye before the events of tomorrow.​

"No, I haven't. I have not got the chance to. Crybex, this rebellion, my children's involvement, has made it really hard to find time for anything especially a counseling session. I keep thinking that if I leave it , it will just go away, stop bothering me, but that doesn't seem to be happening and now.. It is starting to take its toll. Mayly time she had a chance to see R was for other peoples sakebe it is just triggered by the stress, which makes it a painful cycle."Sapphire explained to Xero. It was true the only time she could see R lately was for other peoples sake and frankly she didn't feel like asking for help. But now it was all getting too much for her.

Surprised that Phantom had not brought Lexcifur to her yet Sapphire decided to take matters into her own hands.With a sigh and no explanation offered to Xero, she placed her hand of Xero's shoulder and they disappeared, reappearing in front of Lexcifur. "I am not here to hurt you child. I am not going to throw you in prison. I simply want to know why you are here and where my children are, if they are safe. It is a surprise that you guys aren't traveling together." Sapphire said in a calm, caring voice, no signs of hostility towards him at all.

"What else to I have if not my optimism?" Freya asked to end the part of the conversation as she looked out over the starry sky just in time to hear Samsara talk about land. Freya beamed as she looked at her brother and Ghost. "Come on lets go! I want to explore..." She stopped for a moment. "I hope there aren't too many people there." She stated before running toward where Samsara was. "Ready to go!" She said as she saluted the white haired girl. The girl talked about planning and not wanting things to go bad and not wanting them to split up. "But if we split up things would go faster. We can handle ourselves just fine. I say we should go in groups. It will make things easier." Freya stated as she crossed her arms and looked at the girl. "Who put you in charge anyways?"

Alisia was surprised when there was no pain, even more surprised when Dane hugged her. That was what in the end broke her. Not all the pain, torment, or fear. She was broken before but in a different way. Broken in the mind, not able to focus clearly or think. But this time was different, something deep in her heart broke. Alisia couldn't remember the last time someone properly hugged her. Xander had held her close but more in a protective manner not just a loving hug. This type of hug Dane was giving her was different. It brought tears to her eyes. Alisia dropped her keyblade as she brought her trembling hands up, wrapping them around Dane, hugging him back. She couldn't stop the tears from flowing as she did this.

"Thank you..." Alisia said in a shaky voice. "No one has given me a proper hug since my parents died." She admitted before she addressed the other things that Dane was saying. "I-I don't know how much power I have on my own, you might be out of luck for training." She told him well aware of how weak she was and how little she could do. "I promise not to tell anyone... Not that there is anyone around tell." Alisia said gesturing the the open space that had long been abandoned. She wiped some tears off her face before bending over and picking up the keyblade. She wondered what forgotten hero's blade it was? And if anyone even remembered that he fought and died. She wondered if anyone would remember her when she eventually died.

"So you are just kind of a floater are you? I can respect that." Xander stated. He had been a floater for a long time before he met Alisia. "I don't think we will be finding anything here. Shall we head back or is there something you would like to do first. I doubt the other worlds are done yet. We just so happened to have a guide. Thank you Carl." Xander said half acknowledging the Moose's still lingering presence. He figured with nothing else to do he would give the other man his choice. "Perhaps there is other members of our group here that just haven't found us." He also suggested finding it strange that only the two of hem were there.


​

Thomas shrugged his shoulders. "I guess it is one extreme or the other, not too much middle ground." He said in a light joking manner. Thomas was thankful for the interruption by the noisy S-Class that they had never met. It was a good way to avoid the question Lucia was about to ask. Though he brought up the idea he didn't know if that was a truth that he wanted to admit to yet or not. He would rather keep the truth of everything hidden and let things play out as they should.

"Just ignore them. They are S-class so they walk in here pretending that they own the place with no regards to others." Thomas said dismissively as he looked away from the new people and back to Lucia. "You know this is kind of nice. Most guys hate me and most girls won't take me up on a offer for a date, so I don't get to just sit and talk like this very often. Thank you. And I was a fool for not noticing how beautiful you were until after you changed outfits, because you really are quite lovely." He complimented Lucia trying not to seem too over the top with his complement.


Silvia sat there thinking about her mother. "Yeah she was. But she also taught me everything I know about herbal medicines, I taught myself the magic. I nearly died from the infection, mom just wanted to keep me safe." Silvia said in slight defense of her mother but she knew that her mom went about it the wrong way. Locking her inside making her go stir crazy while people needed help that couldn't make it to their shop. Silvia couldn't stand just sitting around, not when she had the ability to help.

Leo proceeded to her of Caliborn being the most fatherly their. She could understand that since a lot of the guys around here seemed to like to get drunk, and then there was Dale. Dale simply scared her. He was always so serious and brooding and seemed like he would hurt someone if he got too pissed, kind of like Mikasa. They were the two people Silvia tried to avoid, but rooming with Mikasa made that one hard. "I can see why you say that." Silvia said absentmindedly looking over at the two S-class that just came back and seemed to be ready to fight.

Then there was the topic of her own father, a topic Silvia did not have much to say on. "I don't know what happened to my father." Silvia admitted. "I never knew him, he wasn't around when I was born. My mom refused to speak of him at all. I don't even know what he looks like, my mom didn't keep any pictures of him. It has always just been me and my mom. That is why I don't know what it is like to have a father, only imagine it would be something like Caliborn." Silvia explained, not seeming too upset about the entire thing. It was a concept that she had come to terms with a long time ago and didn't let it bother her anymore. There was one point in her life she was desperate to know her father, but not anymore. It didn't matter anymore.​
