Everflame 2 (FINISHED)

[Rasu]

Yu-Razul breathed in deep before answering. He hoped they weren't going to kill him, to many people wanted him dead or saw him as a villain already.

"Indeed i am. If your going to kill me though please either be quick or give me a fighting chance. If not how may i be of Service?" Yu-Razul looked at the men, trying to read them. He took in another deep breath igniting his fire, in case he needed a good way to cover his next move. Hopefully it wouldnt be neccesary.

[KittKat chunky~]

The guard let go of Annie, brusquely shoving her back towards the ICU door "You should know better, I thought you Explorators where supposed to keep a cool head... Next time it happens i'l personally make sure your demoted, sir..."  The guards pulled Reggie away, leaving Annie to collapse back against the wall, letting her head hit the cold steel with a muffled thud... Everything had gone wrong...



Back in the ICU, Blaze had been put under general anaesthetic, leaving Tess with only RUST-E or a nurse to speak to. She looked down at the droid, patting his metallic head "C'mon, you can come out now... They aint fighting no more..." With a faint beep and a whistle of embarrassment, RUST-E whirred out from under the bed. His head swivelled a full 180 to face the peacefully sleeping Blaze, he gave a happy little chirrup. Tess smirked, nodding "Yeah, he's gonna be fine alright..."

"You sure know how to charm a girl," Tabby said, as she slipped on the jacket, and spun around to model it for him. She took his hand and they went down the stairs together, greeted in the smartly decorated dining room, by Kateri, Vix, and large bowls of rice, chicken and salad, with two plates on either side of the dining table. A large window looked out over the sphere, letting UV light in over the dining table.
"Help yourself to food," Kateri said, as Tabby and Chronin sat down on one side, with 'the parents' opposite. "So tell me Chronin," Kateri said with the most genial smile. "How did you find this fine woman?"





The officer straightened his clothes. "We're not sure yet, but there's a transport cage that can take you. It's uses plasma but then that's apparently useless." He grumbled under his breath, and pressed his hands behind his back. "You'll be taken to a ship that will transport you off the sphere and into a secure location."

Leia took Leo's hand, holding it tight, and walked away from the group, with sound of dreadful songs in her head.
"I need to find some people... I need to find them and he'll be nice to me. He won't hurt me, and he can hurt me, he will hurt me." She shook fierce, and gripped hold of Leo's paw. "We need to find Howl and Seeker... do you have security clearance? We need it, or we have to bypass it to get the information. They track everything. Security know where they are."





One of the gunmen looked back up to the maintenance hatch.
"It's him!" he yelled.
"Alright, bring him up." A strong, heavy female voice spoke back, and the men nodded.
"You're under arrest for vigilantism. Come out with your hands clear in front of you. You're coming with us."





Reggie shoved and pulled at the guards as they frog-marched him out through the doors. David walked out into the corridor, and crouched down in front of Annie.
"Congratulations. Nobody's ever stopped him when he's in full on rage mode, but honestly you probably should have stayed out of it. This isn't the first time cops have beat the living daylights out of him. Sometimes I think he enjoys it." He gave a smirk and a chuckle, then noticed her expression, and coughed away the laughter. "Sorry, but the thing is, he's not important enough to get ruin your life over."

[tangletail]

Leo flicked his ears trying to follow her bizzare comments. Seeing how she held a tight grip on his hand he didn't really have much of a choice to follow along "Whos trying to hurt you? Your not even makeing since now!"
"Se...Security Clearence? Yes, to some degree... But hounestly I think that varies... grately" he said, unsure of who Howl and Seeker was supposed to be. "

[Chrono Blackwyng]

Chrono held a piece of chicken that was seemingly packed in rice, and wrapped around with a lettuce leaf. He slipped the enitre piece into his mouth and chewed it up so he could have a moment to think of his answer. "I met her shortly after your order to increase security, we spent some time in the sparring room while Squad D got ready for evaluation. Besides, not my fault that all the women I've gone to war with are either dead or perfer other women."

[KittKat chunky~]

Annie looked up at David, giving a deep sigh "Yeah... Why not?" She let her head thud against the steel wall again, staring up at the flickering florescent light set into the ceiling "He's... He's a sweet, obviously caring guy... Stuff like this shouldnt have to happen to him, losing his parents, now losing Jaack..."
She looked back down to  David, a single tear rolling down her  cheek "When i lost... The guy I loved... What i woulda done to have somebody at my side..." She pushed herself to her feet, wiping the tear away hurriedly as she turned back to the ICU door "Give me one good reason, why i cant be the person at his side for him..."

[Asia Kali Yusufzai]

"Well," Leia said, heading off with a purposeful walk to nowhere in particular. "He said they were ambassadors... We need top top security... to find anyone, everyone. We need the highest." She paused for a second, then pointed at Leo. "That woman! That woman on the phone. Her name, what was it? Spateri? Kateri? Oh I can't think! I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" She gripped her head with her free hand, with claws digging in.





"Oh so you're part of security?" Kateri chirped high and bright, while Tabby shrunk and squirmed in her seat.
"Not exactly," she replied, and took another bite of chicken. Vix let out an old breathy giggle.
"Oh she's certainly not that," she tittered. Tabby winced and spoke up.
"Err, no I'm more of a freelancer... A bounty hunter." She beamed a wide smile, trying to lift the rapidly falling mood.
"A bounty hunter?" Kateri lost her chirpiness, though tried to smile with a frosty stare. "I see." She turned to Chronin. "So you met this... freelancer this morning, and liked her so much that you decided to show her your room?"




David stood up with Annie, and rubbed his bald, scaley head.
"Everyone's had problems in their life. The issue is how we deal with that." He walked to her side, and put an arm on her shoulder. "He is simply no good at dealing with life's problems. He gets angry, and he hurts people. The worse the problem, the longer he'll be like that. Trust me, he's not done trashing the place just yet, and without Jaack to calm him down, it could take years to get over it."

[Entaru]

Nero raised an eyebrow at the officer.  "Secure location? Hmph....I dont think you quite understand what I meant."  Taking a moment to crack his knuckles and neck, Nero looked around at the street around him.  "I am not leaving this station until I'm finished here...I'll be no danger to anyone as long as my needs are served but if you try to take me off the Sphere then I'll have no choice but to start hurting people.  Understand?"

[Asia Kali Yusufzai]

The officer eyed Nero up, and folded his arms.
"Is this a hostage situation?" He pulled his communicator from his pocket, ready to call whoever he needed.

[tangletail]

"I dont have that kind of security clearance" Leo reached out placeing a his free hand on her shoulder to comfort her "Its ok...The head of security? I belive you got it correct the second time... Kaetri, dont beat yourself up... or claw yourself." Leo said in careing tone.
"But... at the moment I dont know where she is."

[Chrono Blackwyng]

Chrono fumbled with his talons before explaining why only a day made them this close. "The gangs of Captial Sphere had attacked me "en masse" during my patrol, she was basically the only one who didn't run away or cower in fear. She wasn't hired to protect me and only volunteered to help me." He took a breath, and then his hair raised up as he addressed the two in front of him. "Gran and Autnie, if I did not have an honest care for an honest relationship, you would never have even known I had even met her. Now it would have been a slowly building relationship, but only a few hours ago I was just indoctrinated to Black Ops based on one mission. If you want to comment on my taste in women, then give me more than just one day to get to know her!" Gran quickly turned to Auntie and mouthed 'one mission?!' as Chronin waited for her defense.

[Entaru]

"Hm...you could put it that way.  I already have control of a few of the people around you.  It would be a shame if their families never saw them again."  Nero sat back down in his cage.  "Now...normally I'd doubt you'd make deals with hostage takers, but seeing as you have no idea who is under my control and cannot possibly harm me, I have the feeling that you'll make an exception."

[Rasu]

"A cage? That wont be neccesary i will go peacefully. If your not going to kill me, at least not yet, at least let me enjoy somewhere... less uncomforatabe." Spoke Yu-Razul hoping for a less difficult hard place to be stuck behind. He began to study the marines that stood before him and became curious.

"May i also ask why i'm being picked up, and who sent you?"

[KittKat chunky~]

Annie sighed again, allowing David to put his arm around her shoulder. They walked into the ICU, to see Blaze asleep, while Tess sat on the side of his bed in deep discussion with RUST-E. Or at least, as deep a discussion as you can get with a droid.
Tess looked up as they walked in, jumping down off the bed and giving a ridiculously wide smile "Mornin' Miss Yantova... RUST-E n' me think Blaze's gonna be a-okay... dun we Rusty?" The droid whirred up to her side, cocking his head to one side as he looked up at David and giving an affirmative beep. He looked from Annie to David, bright blue 'eye' focussing on each in turn, before giving a little whistle, followed by a series of beeps.
Tess frowned, kicking him to one side with her steel-toe boot "Excuse 'is language Miss... I still 'avnt replaced that inhibitor chip in 'im..." Annie couldnt help but give a slight smirk, despite herself. Watching as RUST-E now tried to get back around Tess, thwarted by her sticking her foot out every time he tried...




Reggie was bustled and shoved all the way into a small holding cell. A steel door slid closed behind him, leaving him alone in a cell with padded walls. One wall was thick magno-glass, behind which a grim-faced officer stood, watching him closely. A small intercom set somewhere into the ceiling buzzed into life, the slightest moment of lag noticeable between the time the officer spoke, and when it was heard in the cell "State your name, and affiliation with the Mechanicus, anything you say WILL be used against you in court..."

[Asia Kali Yusufzai]

Leia dragged her claws down the back of her head, taking some fur with them. She grabbed Leo's collar and pushed her head into his chest, shutting her eyes, hiding herself into him.
"Please, please... please you've got to help me. We've got to try.... We need to find her. Please, have you got any ideas of who might know? Higher up officers? Anyone?"





Kateri rolled her eyes, and dropped her cuttlery onto her plate.
"It wasn't after just one mission. I'm your aunt, I know you better than anyone and I know that nobody helped to get where you are! They need a veteran soldier who is good with technology, do you know anyone like that? Because apparently I'm just picking people at random!" She held her arms and looked away at the walls, frustration building in her face. "Unlike you and this girl," she said, glancing at Tabby who was rapidly shrinking into her seat. "I know who you are, and what you're capable of, and I thought this would be a great opportunity for you." She stood up, taking her plate with her to the kitchen. Just before she got to the door, she turned. "Don't insult me, Chronin... and don't insult yourself with girls like that." As she left, Tabby gave a silent whistle, and shifted her seat closer to Chronin.
"Well... I've had worse receptions," she whispered, while Vix giggled into her rice.






The officer put the communicator to his ear.
"Primary, cancel that transport, and corden off this area indefinitely. We have an ill-judged hostage situation going on." He pressed a button and put it back into his pocket. He scratched his cheek, as he thought of what to say. "You know... this won't gain anything. The Everflame is too important to be just tossed over to you. You're going to have to wait for due process just like your friends."






"You're being picked up because you're a vigilante." Said one of them, staring at him with blak goggles. "We respond to the orders of Internal Justice, and they have found evidence of your guilt. You will be held in the comfort that all sentient beings deserve at the least, something that you would not offer your victims. There you will be tried in a court and proven either guilty or innocent." The one that had been silent tapped his gun against the wall.
"Now come on out, so we can arrest you."






David gave a bemused look to the robot, then plastered a warm yet condescending smile on himself.
"So, how's the criminal justice system here? Also, where can we get parts for the ship?"



Reggie paced around the cell, back and forth, around and around, growling to himself, until he officer spoke. He paused and glared at him.
"Reginald S. Mongoste. I have no affiliation with this hell hole except by being the boyfriend of one of your scavengers, and how about you use this in court?" He stepped close to the glass, and his breath spread across it. "I came here to with my best friend, and I'm gonna leave here without him, because you and your useless doctors couldn't do a damn thing to help him except run around and shout!" He slammed his head against the glass, over and over, starting to bleed.
