| Exita had prepared for something to go wrong, and he fired his skates, propelling him out of the way seconds before Otto's giant blade crashed into the ground. "Under normal circumstances, I'd try to solve this without violence. But it seems I have no choice. If I cannot bring you in..." Exita glared at Otto. "I will slay you here!" Exita blasted towards his new opponent, ready to fight to the death if need be. |

| A small smirk appeared on Amy's face as soon as she saw the little girl skillfuly discovering her true identtiy. She wasn't expecting for someone to discover her so quickly. However, she guessed that the Civil Security probably already had marked her to death. It was clear, they feared her skills, so they would immediatly mark her for death. The girl jumped from her position and made a sudden dash towards Amy with a furious expression in her face. Thankfully, as expected, Otto got in the way of her attack and didn't allow for the attack to connect... Not that it would. Amy made a fake pout as she heard Karen's words. "Don't say that, would you. I'm not any more animalistic than a wolf." She mused with a smirk replacing her pout. As soon as Karen swinged, Amy stepped back quickly away from the range of the giant blade. However, she wasn't someone to hold in the defensive line. One of her legs came up and then down, right on time to hit the blunt area of the giant Zweihander and making it hit the ground and stop almost immediatly. With a mocking laugh, she ran up the blade and delivered a soccer kick directly at Karen's face. The sheer power of the blow made Karen, along with her blade, fly a good few meters before hitting the ground. Amy giggled at that. "Fallen, you say? I haven't been reduced to being someone's pet to be tamed. How foolish are you? The Civil Security uses our race to achieve what they cannot, and after we're done, they'll throw us out again. After all, for them we are nothing but monsters." Amy said as she walked towards Karen. "Come, pet wolf. Allow me to show you what true power is." Amy taunted once more as she was ready for another attack. While that, the Drone Eye, returning from the house, was already floating above the area, analysing the fight between Otto and Exita and prepared to defend Amy in case of any surprise attacks. Right now, there was no way to surprise Amy, she could literally see anything in the field of combat and she was ready to counter Karen's next attack as she smirked. |

| Otto smirks slightly implanting his blade into the ground as a stopper. Holding on to it he smiles when Exita runs out of steam, however he did leave a nice amount of ruble and pushed Otto back a few meters. "Whew, nice. Tell me False Soldier, why are you here? Why don't you leave now, I have need of a herald for my arrival." With that he sweep kicks, not bothering to see if it connects or not, pulling the blade out and upward, he then bounds off in a flurry of slashes. "Come now! Show me what you got!" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Karen Growls and lets her hood fall of. Dusting herself off her ears twitch and lower, but she tries to not buy the bait. She's more mobile than me...but in terms of power I should be stronger or equal..no I'm sure stronger..I sufferd no major damage from that kick..or is it I just endure more.. Setting her thoughts aside, she also throws off her coat, letting it drop behind her. "Hmm..true power you say. And a wolf is indeed that I am." Rather than going in for a full attack she decides to use the blades reach, whipping into a spinning slash she advances, however something about hte movements seem off by the fact its very much open to counter attack. |
| Otto's sweeping kick connected, sweeping Exita off his feet and knocking his beret off, revealing the Mad Stallion emblem that was embedded on the top of it. He quickly relaunched his skates, rocketing him a few yards out of harms way. He slowly rose to his feet, picking up the beret and setting it back upon his head. "False Soldier?" He sighed. It seemed like everyone was giving him nicknames nowadays, and he wasn't particularly fond of them. "I'm sorry. But I cannot let you leave." He quickly fired a couple more shots, sending him towards a street sign, which he then used to propel himself towards a wall. From there, he flipped up onto a balcony and dropped down onto a small awning, from which he fired himself across to a bench. He continued this method of shooting himself all over the area, closing in on Otto with increasing speed. Every shot he fired caused him to move faster and faster... This man's blade is not something I can take head on, not with my defensive capabilities, he thought to himself. So I will take a more indirect approach. As he flew from object to object, he removed the other magazines from his gun belt, loading them in mid air to prevent him from having to stop at any moment. |
| My Anaconda dont want none unless you've got a brain, class, and aren't acting like a total hoe.~ |
| "You're wide open." Amy mused as she pulled out the B23R from her waist sheath and shooting the usual burst of three shots aimed at Karen's legs. The sound of the bullets leaving the chamber were something quite... dangerous. Black Bullets. A burst shot of varanium bullets towards a Cursed Child legs was quite dampering, as it could make anyone lose their focus in less than 1 second. Karen immediatly would end up losing her focus and losing her possible speed, which allowed Amy to go in. The sound of the Varanium unsheathing could be heard as a hiss through the air as Amy rushed in and held the blade with a reverse grip. As she ran past Karen, a slice at her left side quickly drained a bit of blood, left on the blade. Looking back, Amy sheathed the Katana once more. The Super-Varanium, a form of concentrated Varanium, allowed for a lot of damage on Cursed Children and Gastrea in quick attacks, even though it's range as quite small compared to the Zweihander or the Nodachi. Amy developed a style of using the Super-Varanium katana as a back-up quick burst damage weapon that allowed Cursed Children to go in and deal a lot of damage in a small ammount of time before backing off. It was the usual strategy that Amy employed, and it was considered a very complex style of battle, learned by high-class pairs that would use shock tactics. "You're making good use of your resistance, but keep in mind that you're just like me..." Licking her lips once more, she stared at Karen, who was probably shocked right now. Amy's speed was something amazing, but it was all thanks to the sunlight that bathed her skin right now, granting her a power that she wouldn't have in most times. Even more during midday. As if that was not enough, Amy used her eyes to time her shots and her attack extremely well, as if she had planned it all in seconds. "This is difference between our powers, wolf. You're just a pet of a skater, while I am a military weapon of mass destruction... Yet they threw me away exactly because of that. They fear my power, and they also fear yours, wolf. Why fight against those who wish to enlighten this world into a new golden age?" Amy was a charismatic speaker right now. It was her objective to confuse her enemies, make them think she was going to let them leave... But Amy's real desire was always clear to those who could see... She wished nothing but to kill. Death was all she seeked. |

| Picking herself off from the ground she has a smug look. "I had to even the tables..do you find it..strange, that I know about you and him? Just what do you think I did..working in the labs." While the wound heals quickly Karen laughs. "..Monsters you say...power you say...why fight for them...GAHAHAHA! I NEED NO CAUSE" The blue haired girls ears and tail stand on edge, and her eyes turn darker, this was on the borderline of Gasteria transformation. With that Karen seems not the least bit phased. However her fangs grow, her nails and she kneels forward snarling. She was far more beast now than man. Before she loses herself compleatly, the sword falls from her hand and she takes on a sadistic glare. "I'LL SHOW YOU POWER BIRD BITCH" Snapping into a full besker fury she pounces on Amy at a fast rate of speed. She had allowed herself to be damaged to reach this state. Gripping Amy's sword Arm into Karen's very own teeth, sink in and her claws start to peirce fleash. Now the battle would be more even, the question would be if Amy would beat her off, and even if then, could her partner reign her back in. Normally this might not be a problem, but having another human sinking their teeth into them would be a shock. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Otto looks at the exchange and sighs, however he does the most strange of things, while keeping an eye on Amy, and Exita, he draws his handgun, and fires. Into Karen, this causes her to lurch a bit but even so she refuses to break her death like grip. "Beat that animal girl off of you, shes just a beast, and get ready to do as I command, or the next shot will be for you..You can win I am sure, but I would rather you have all of your bloody damn limbs." With a cold stare he lowers the handgun, he truely didn't want her to be harmed, he needed her for his plans, also he was growing to be fond of her company. He wasn't sure if she would listen to his commands but that didn't matter, he was sure by now the skater would fire on him, and when he did, he would be surprised. The mans speed made his sword pointless, but the Wolf girl didn't share what she knew. Those two could be formidable but they had a ways to go. Calling out to Amy again he stares. "Do Not disappoint me, hate me, curse me, but I will give you more toys to play with later. These two are taking up out time." Besides..that wolf girl might could be turned..and the skater as well, if he is who he thought..for now he needed them alive. |
| "Tch." Amy clicks her tounge at that. The girl clearly had no idea of what she had done. Feral Cursed Children, the ones who retained most of their contact with the animalistic side, required at least some control. Amy had fought against beserkers multiple times, and she pretty much knew what they sacrificed to gain power. As soon as Karen neared in, Amy started to multiple jumps backwards, avoiding her short range slashes with extreme ease. However, the girl was quick and she quickly grabbed onto Amy's arm, which was what Amy was waiting for. In that exact minute, Amy delivered an extremely strong punch at the girl's head. Concussion was clear, even in beserked mode. Karen would, involuntarily, take a few steps back as her head would spin. Amy had just delivered nearly 600 kilos in pure power at that punch, which made impossible a quick response and would leave the girl without any idea fo what was going on. Such direct power at someone's head would cause loss of not only focus, but even other senses. Amy didn't waste the chance, she charged in and grabbed Karen's arm, pulling it before delivering a powerful hit at the base of the elbow in the inwards direction. It broke Karen's arm. After that, Amy delivered another quick attack, this time as a kick at the chest. It made Karen fly almost 40 meters away and hit a nearby building. "Your power comes at the expense of lack of strategy. You become a bulldozer, yet you lose your handler. Sacrificing intelligence for power is the most stupid exchange ever." Amy mused as she took a look at her bleeding arm. The girl was able to actually damage Amy, and she hadn't expected that at all. For a top 100 to be able to touch a top 10 was something quite extraordinary, yet she still sacrificed her own tactical awareness to do so. She then turned her attention towards Otto, as the Drone Eye floated to her side. It observed Karen closely as it started an analysis of her status. "Very well, Master. We should leave now and leave the two partners to have some fun with each other. In her currently beserked mode, she will attack anything at sight." Amy said as she jumped towards an garage lot and looked down, awaiting for her master. With this, she was already out of sight of Karen, and her desire was for nothing less than a fight between the pair. "Daylight's burning." She mentioned as she looked up slightly. |

| (little bit of moving this ahead) Karen growls standing to her feet and as if true to word wonders aimlessly. It wasn't clear what she would do next as her body slowly recovers. Otto sighs, knowing the man plans to shoot him, as soon as the bullets come, he throws up a static sheild, which deflects the rounds without concern. Before he can recover from the shock, Otto sends a bolt of electricty into the man, nothing lethal, just enough to stun and drop him. "See to your pet..and train her better. You are a disappointment." Walking off to join Amy, he presses his phone with his left hand, stowing the pistol. The car drives forward and blocks the path inbetween them. Turning his head to Exita he speaks. "Good day to you my fellow public servent..By the Way, choose me or choose her, this car will explode in five minutes." Sure of the choice the man will make he pats Amy on the back softly. "I have a shot in the van, use it.." Looking at the wound he's honestly surprised. "I never bother believing in that ranking crap anyways...minus for the top 10..sorry I didn't warn you, but shes the weapons division test dummy, her rank is unknown as they never found a suitable handler, even I couldn't tame her." Walking along he gazes down at her watching her wounds heal. "You will get to play with her again. She would be very useful if we could break her and her master..but that one needs much tempering." Slapping his hands together he laughs lightly. "Lets put that gun to use, its just like videogame." |
RedArmyShogunOct 22, 2014 8:20 PM
| Upon seeing Karen get shot, Exita panicked. However it was not a panic out of fear, but out of pure rage. He struggled hard to control himself; to prevent himself from losing control and turning into the monster that had earned him his infamous title. He didn't want Karen to see him that way, but he could not risk her life either. With one last shot, he propelled himself off of the side of an old food truck, speeding towards Otto at inhuman speeds. In less than a second, his skates were inches from Otto's throat, threatening to slit it wide open and leaving only a second for escape. Everything seemed to slow down as Exita swung his leg for the death blow... |
| My Anaconda dont want none unless you've got a brain, class, and aren't acting like a total hoe.~ |
| Otto glances over his shoulder and sighs. "You disappoint me..." Pressing the button on the phone, the bombcar explodes. Not even bothering to dodge he keeps walking as the blast to Exita's back throws himout of range, it also sprays Karen with shrapnel, which serves to somewhow reset her, while the wounds wouldn't be leathal, or even leave scares it leaves her laying on the ground rolling in pain. This time Otto pulls out the handgun and opens fire repeatidly at the pair, not really bothering to hit me. "See to your pet." Sighing he climbs up into the van slamming the door shut. Leaning his head out he speaks in clear warning. "Do it this time, or I'll kill your little pet...and you. Amy, if the man moves this way...take his legs, please." Glaring he starts the van, this absurdity had already delayed him quite enough. |
| Exita had been blown through a store window, causing large pieces of broken glass to get lodged in his back. Gritting his teeth, he rose from the carnage and stumbled outside, watching the van drive away. Anger was surging through his veins, but he did not pursue. He had to help Karen. As he attempted to reach her, he looked down and noticed his side was bleeding. One of Otto's bullets had managed to find it's mark, and if Exita didn't take care of the wound he could die. Exita's hands fumbled for a bullet from his pouch. Upon pulling one out, he stuck it between his teeth, biting down hard as he reached into his wound to remove the lodged bullet. He had been lucky, as the bullet had not broken into fragments upon making contact with his body. After removing it, he cracked open another bullet, dumping the gunpowder on his wound. Using his skates to create sparks, he made a small flame which he used to light the gunpowder, setting it on fire and burning the wound closed. The pain was severe, but he had managed to save his own life for a time. Crawling towards Karen, he could see that she was in bad condition. He thought about trying to move her, but decided against it, seeing how he had neither the strength nor the stamina to do so in his current condition. The only thing he could do at the moment was call for help and wait. Dialing into his phone, he called HQ. "Operations, this is Kozaku..Exita. Rank #102. Access Code J7NAB-Q. We're pretty banged up here. Could use a little help...Hurry.." The Civil Security could track it's agents, so he needed not to say where he was. This was a good thing, seeing how he began to pass out from the blood loss and much more talking wasn't beneficial. He looked over at Karen, who was unconscious. With everything in him, he fought to stay awake and protect her until help arrived.... |
| My Anaconda dont want none unless you've got a brain, class, and aren't acting like a total hoe.~ |
| Almost sighing at the boring outcome, Amy looked towards Otto when he said something about cutting the man's legs when he got close. A smile appeared on her face immediatly and she unsheathed her Katana, awaiting to see if the man would actually try to attack them. "Hai hai~." She said before she noticed the man flying away. Pouting, she sheathed her sword once more upon that sight. "Aww... I doubt he'll even be able to move much after that..." She said as she looked towards Otto once more and followed his back towards the van. Getting in, she then talked about the wolfy girl. "Why are you talking about this? I don't believe much in the ranks, but the girl seems to be in the efficiency rate of the top 100. She's not fun. I want a challenge. I want someone who can actually keep up with me, that girl needed to sacrifice her own mind to get power... I want someone with mind and power to try and come up against me. Will you ever find someone like that for me to fight against, Master? I'll prove to everyone that I'm the strongest Child in the world." Amy said, completely excited by the thought of it. After all, this was Amy's reason to live. To kill and prove she was the best weapon of all times, an irreplaceable item that needed to be there, while there were things and people to kill. "Now we head to the Minister's home, right?" She asked as she picked up the laptop and took a quick look at it to see if they were still there. However, something suddenly came to her mind. A small smirk appeared at her face as she thought a bit more about who to kill today. "Ne, Master. Why should we go for such a low-priority target when we can take down the Osaka Region current Advisor? I know where to find him, so why don't we take a detour towards the Housing District?" Amy asked as she pointed to a map. From the back of the van, her Drone Eye arrived. It snuggled into her arms and Amy carefully patted it, as if it was a small pet. Obviously, Amy had more than attachment with her weapons... Like any assassin had attachments with it's baldes. |

| Laughing at her notion of the slight he grins. "Good-Good, prove to them you are the strongest, but remember my young one, we need pawns in this game of ours...as to that..hmm interesting." Grinning a bit he gazes at his phone. "An stray has returned and is having a sister of yours scanned. But first things first." Turning the engine on and putting it into drive he grins looking back at the gun. "Besides, there is a reason I left the broken toys where they were, they'll come back time and time again now, likely stronger than before. And eventually we will break them. We need an Army for my plans, remember my young one. First the weakness will be purged..then the Gastrea." Listening to her plan he grins. "I chosen a worthy Partner afterall. You are my equal Amy, very well, besides that troublesome man is there. In fact, lets have some fun with this, on the way I want you to research them, and see what battle plan you would like, and how it matches to my own." The way he spoke of it was like a parent to his child about getting a pet dog. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Momments after the pair drive off, an assault unit arrives via helicopter, to pick up the injured pair, one of the men spots the tell-tale white bag and scoups it up along with Karen's coat and hat. On the way back the girl wakes up, as the Gastrea rejuvination factor causes smoke to rise from her body time to time, dealing with the shrapnel, she cries, for her own weakness, and her hurt master. "..I.I'm sorry.." By this point he was out from blood lose, or at the very least would think he was halucinating, but Karen knew she needed to be trained more..she needed revenge..and to work better with him if they were to even live the next time they ran into those two. She had little doubt they would. (either keep going here or back at the base dj) |
RedArmyShogunOct 23, 2014 8:15 PM
| "Hai, Master." Amy responded as she opened up her laptop and started to invade the Civil Security Data. The fact that she was once a Rank 6 allowed her to invade the system with little difficulty. As they passed through a district that had a clear view of the Civil Security Base, Amy released her Drone Eye, which flied up in the air before soaring towards the Base. After a few minutes, the computer showed up an entire grade of systems that Amy carefully connected into. Right now, her Drone Eye had invaded the system through a link with another Drone Eye, used by the GCS as a watchful dog. Because of that, the GCS Drone Eye was directly connected with another computer at the other end of the GCS line, which allowed Amy to connect into the system through the link. "Master, his name is William Adern, he apparently was relocated from the US and is now trying to fit into life in Japan. However, he also seems to have taken a partner and pair to work along with him, her name is Aeronwy. I don't have much information on him as it seems that most of the dossiers are on the US network and that's unnaccessible for me, but it says here that he was once Rank 2 of the United States IP Rank... Which means that he is quite capable." Amy explained the situation for her Master before she looked towards him and once more turned the computer towards him. It showed the pictures of both Aeronwy and William. "The girl had points of nearly 9000 on the tests, which actually is pretty excellent when compared to the others." Amy stated as she looked at their current stats. Right now, they had many different stats that seemed to make sense and make them seem like an actual challenge for her Master and her. "Master, these two are going to be an actual challenge for us! With this kind of power, they can actually be on par with us." Amy stated happily as she looked at the pictures of the duo. "Hmm..." She licked her lips as she analysed the man's stats along with the girl's. "It's going to be fun... Ripping off her other eye..." She mused as she ran a finger at Aeronwy's eye patch. "We can use a bait, Master. The look in this man's eyes... Seems like he's searching for something." Truth be told, the man wasn't strange to her. She thought deeply and had this strange feeling that she had already saw this man somewhere. By now, the duo of Amy and Otto was already nearing the entrance of the Housing District. (Post next on the City Area, RAS.) |

| "What a fuckin' shithole." A young teen growled as she wandered the slums. "...Not tha' biggest shithole though, I guess." She added as she examined this area of the city. Sure it was crappy, but it paled in comparison to the slums she knew. You didn't know the slums unless you lived there. The lack of suffocating air alone made this place a thousand times better. It's not like it needed to be nice though. She didn't plan on living here. She was merely exploring... or rather, searching. As she walked, she stumbled upon a dog, obviously feral and starving as it appearing to be devouring something... or someone, voraciously. Whether it was the dog's master or some poor weakling who couldn't scratch their way up the food chain, she didn't know. She couldn't tell. Hell, Akula couldn't even tell what the gender was from the mess they were now, but that answered why the air reeked of blood and rotten flesh. Upon noticing her, the dog turned to her and growled menacingly, however Akula retained an unimpressed expression and, as a retort, bore her own teeth and returned a growl. Though unlike her, the dog got the message immediately. Its head lowered, its ears folded back and its tail shot under its legs as it whimpered and whined in submission. Seeing as the mutt knew its place, Akula returned to her slightly scowling, slightly sleepy look and continued on her way. Her stomach growled as well. She hadn't eaten in days and would need to find something to eat soon. Actually, she had plenty of opportunities to eat. Many people, Black Claw and not had attempted to kill and/or... "assault" her. Much as she'd rather not, a unique, and somewhat barbaric, skill she possessed was that she could practically eat anything. Well, anything made of meat... yes, that meant humans and cursed children as well. However Akula didn't exactly find such a thing appetizing and would much rather eat "normal" food. Whether this was an ability of her type or simply her's alone, she did not know. It certainly came in handy at times though. Shaking those thoughts from her head, she planned where she'd head next. Akula knew she was close. It took a hell of a long time, but she tracked him down. He was somewhere in this city, that she knew. And she would find him without any distractions. |
 |
| Karen not willing or able to face Excita at the current time leaves a note on the bed saying she would be out for a couple of hours and not to worry, hurridly leaves the base with sack in hand, heading for the slums she sets out about on her hidden task...or rather one she would never admit too, using donation drops set up by some fools as she seen them to aid the cursed children, she takes away torn clothing and places in mended ones, plus small trinkets of food. Along the way of her stops she notices a very strange looking cursed child, or rather one that looked like hell, taking a small amount of pitty on the girl as she passes her, she can't help but hear the girls stomach rumble. Sighing a bit she puts her hands to her hips and stares. "Look...Here." Reaching into her coat with her right, as her left holds the sack, she pulls out a hunk of jerky. "Take it..your growling is distracting me...hmph..if you want to clean up and more to eat then you can help me for a momment." While her way of being forward would likely be off putting, she knows for sure she's the only one that will offer some help to her. She was older and more mean looking than most of the cursed children that got help. "...names Karen. What brings you to this wonderful shithole." |
| Akula was brought out of her current focus by another Cursed Child, albeit one much better off than she was obviously. Probably one who worked for the Government. As a Cursed Child, you practically lived secretly in the slums unless you worked for someone. Her tone was also a bit harsh... though not exactly hostile. Akula assumed it was probably some sort of defense mechanism and that she most likely showed a kinder side to those she trusted, if any existed, that is. Not that she cared much. The girl was offering her food, after all. Akula took the jerky with little hesitation and began munching on it, ripping it apart with little difficulty. At her proposition, she shrugged. "Might as well. Yer just passing stuff out ta' the rest o' these brats?" She inquired, biting down on another piece. "Akula." She introduced, slightly tired. "Just travelin'. Need ta' keep movin'... Though I guess you could also say I'm here lookin' fer someone. Lemme guess... Ya' work for tha' Government, don't ya'?" She hardly explained, asking her own question quite quickly. "Maybe ya' could also help me with some info since I'm helpin' ya' anyway... I heard he's working fer'em too." |
|
| Nodding she takes note of the girls teeth. "hmm..so you like meat as well." She wasn't sure why but she liked how this girl honestly delt with her, it could be trusted, though she herself might not be, letting her guard down a little she removes her hat briefly showing her ears to affirm she was a cursedchild. "..W-what, not I just ..I..Look I don't like seeing kids with holes in their clothes! And the extra food is just stuff I don't want!" "...but yes..I take this stuff to the drops.." Listening to the rest she nods. "Yes. Or more of a conscript, I've been with them from birth. And hmm..sure I could help you with that easily. I've been their long enough to see some files. Or be allowed to at any rate." Thinking on how or why the girl knows someone from her field, she decides to help her, if only to see what shes plotting. "Hmm lets finish this, then we can get some real food..we'll go to a sub office though." She didn't add the reasson they couldn't go to the main one. |
| "Don't eat anythin' but meat." Akula stated as she ripped apart more of the jerky. She could eat vegetables and fruit... it just wasn't the same, though. "Whatever tha' reason don't matter. Free food is food. Free clothes are clothes." She further added after her new 'friend' began to uncontrollably stutter. She stared a bit at her ears as well, having not seen a Cursed Child with such animal-like characteristics very often. Akula nodded in agreement at going to a sub office. "What's tha' difference?" She inquired regardless. She didn't really want to go to a main office though... it just sounded like she was more likely to get swamped by "recruiters". Honestly, she was done serving people. Even if it did give her free food and such. |
|
| "Hmm..they don't like unauthorised people, the smaller officers are more forgiving is all. And same with the food." Going along the route to the drop boxes she finishes what she was up to and then shrugs. "There is one office here on the outer edge of the slum...more of a normal city like area, so pretty clean and safe." Leading off she grabs another peice of jerky and bites into it. "Oh..when we get there I may have you do some tests with me, just weapons stuff. Maybe make up some story to look you over for medical stuff, then we can have a computer alone." Yawning a bit she faces the girl slightly. "As to why I'm doing this, curiocity..it may kill the cat, but luckly I'm a wolf." (you can skip us there if you want) |
| "Figured as much." Akula grumbled, finishing off her jerky. Shrugging, she begins following Karen to the office. "Fine by me. Long as I get more food and tha' info I want." She stated. The fact she wanted to go to a smaller office meant less chance of betrayal. The girl didn't seem like she had that intent regardless, but such people existed. As they approached it, she seemed a but unimpressed by it. The people there were giving her a slightly suspicious look. She assumed the only reason they didn't hold full on glares was because she was with Karen. "Well... After you." |
|
| "Hai hai." Walking in with her a staff member at the table askes whats with the stray as he put it. "Ah shut it, I'm here to test that new anti-tank rifle labs sent. I need a tester to go up against no? Also she seems to have been a former one of ours, need to get her shots and test her, or do you want a phase III running around in the labs?" The man sighs rolling his eyes and waves them through. Making sure no ones around in earshot she looks up at Akula. "So, want to do what I'm here for, or eat?" Karen wanted to just get the test out of the way and says as much. "Plus if we work they can't say anything when we eat or get you cleaned up..we'll save the...hmm lab for last. When they are used to you, they likely won't care about you being here." |
| Akula remained silent as Karen took care of their permission. Sure, she could bear her teeth and cause the poor soul to shit himself, but that would simply hinder what they were trying to do. "Let's just get tha' test outta' tha' way. An' what exactly is it? You just gonna shoot at me?" She questioned with a raised... her only visible eyebrow raised. She didn't seem that worried about what she asked. She had been attacked with much more than a Cursed Child who wasn't even trying to kill her, after all. |
|
| Laughing at that she tilts her and stares with a toothy smile. "Hmm...what a nice suggestion. Ohohoho" Sighing a bit she points to a door at the end of the hall. "No you test fire a rifle, then I do it, so they have a basic sample to test, nothing difficult." Walking along the hall, the pair reach the test ranges door, opening it she waits for Akula to pass before shutting in behind the pair. On the table was some form of 20mm semi-auto sniper rifle. "Have fun. 10 rounds, just pick a target..I'm guessing you are a melee fighter.." With that she hops up on the table staying a bit out of the way. Taking her coat off she places it on top of her head as her tail seems rigid in anticipation. "Remember ear protection." Covering her own ears she waits for the shooting to start. |
| "Eh? That's it? Alright... but as ya' guessed, long range ain't my forte." Akula stated in agreement. She inspected the rifle before placing the headphones over her ears for protection and gripping the rifle in her arms. "Just fer tha' record, I probably ain't gonna be a good shot... An' not just cause I only got one eye." She murmured, aiming for the pre-placed targets before firing in quick succession, one shot at each target. She wasn't completely accurate, but she at least hit them. From the bullet holes in the targets it was obvious that she was sticking to torso shots and not even trying for the heads. As she emptied the clip, she sighed, placed the rifle down and took off the headphones. "Don't wanna be pushy... but but hurry up, would ya'? Otherwise I might considerin' this rifle as my snack." She asked of Karen. It was possible too. Well, it wouldn't be very nourishing, but Akula could definitely bite through the gun as if it were a chocolate bar. |
|
| Smirking a little at her comments she nods. "Hmm..so that eye patch isn't for show. As to in close same, I use a zweihander" Shouldering the rifle she loads it quickly and with a almost mechanical nature opens fire. In short order shes done and in a much better grouping of her shots. "...hmm I'm good with guns just don't care to use them.." Putting the rifle down, ejecting the magazine, and opening the slide, she sets it on the table. "Lets eat." Leading them off her mouth waters at the smell of hamburger steak and pork buns. Back in her coat she clances at Akula and decides to investigate a little. "So who is this person you are trying to find, must be important." |
| "Do people generally waltz around with eyepatches? Nope, it's all scarred to hell. I'd offer to show but... I don't think ya'd wanna see it an' I don't wanna ruin tha' meal." Akula stated as she watched her much more skillfully eliminate the targets than she herself did. As she finished, Akula shrugged. "I can hit tha' targets, that's generally enough so long as it ain't a Cursed Child er Gastrea... and if it is, I just shred'em." She commented as Karen set the rifle down and led her to get food, finally. If Karen had been paying attention she even could've noticed Akula practically drooling over the food even before she began to. She was, however, brought out of her trance by Karen's question. "Ya' should've at least heard of'im... Supposedly he's kinda a bigshot." She began as she stared at the different assortments of food. "Rajin. That's his name." |
|
| Rounding the corner, she seems lost in thought thinking on the name. "Rajin...I've hear that name somewhere but I can't place it..should be easy to search for though." Smiling a bit she stares at the counter. "Ehh show and tell later..eat for now." Rushing toward the line she looks at the selection and grabs mostly meats. The only thing not meat on her tray was some sort of pudding and a glass of water. Glancing around, she finds a free table. Claiming it she waits for Akula to finish gathering her plate and motions for her to join her. She still planned to get the girl at least a little cleaned up, once any information was found she was on her own however. That was only fair. (hmm I should slow down on moving things at times) |
| Akula as well gathered her plate... or rather mountain of meats before heading to the table claimed by Karen with a can of soda. She had obviously been starving as she not only had the mountain of food in front of her as well as some sticking halfway out of her mouth as she munched on it. "Just wanna see if he's actually here... Hell, might not even wanna' see me." She commented before she fully started gorging herself. "So... Since yer not bein' kept in a lab... That means you got one 'o them... uh... human partners, right?" She questioned, forgetting the official terms Promoters and Initiators. |
|
| "Hmm yeah, Ice Dancer,...he's okay, better than the last 12 I've had. And hmm he might be here. If you had something of his I could track it by scent." Taking a bite out of a beef patty she smiles a bit at the food. "It beats living out there..though I could see why some don't do it..or want to, I was in those labs often...given whats happend to me lately.." Slowing down on her eating she sighs. "..It might be better if I stayed in them..I need to get stronger, but I don't know what else to do." Looking back at her meal she once more starts eating. "My masters okay though..but too..caught up in his personal vengence maybe..but he smells like a nice person...and he's pretty warm..so I have to watch out for him." |
| "Eh? Ice Dancer?" Akula questioned, confused by the peculiar name. She then sighed at her offer. "That won't work. Even if I did have time ta' take somethi' o' his before I left, I don't think I'd of been able to. He wasn't one for material objects. Complete 'professional' I guess ya' could call'im." She explained to her. At her comment about getting stronger, Akula too slowed down with her eating, despite being starving. "Different people get stronger in different ways. Fer me, I need ta' be pushed into a corner. Instincts need ta' kick in... I'd assume it's near same way for wolves." She spoke before once more devouring her plate. "Vengeance, huh? ...Revenge don't necessarily make a person bad... just makes'em a corpse... Ya' definitely got yer hands full if yer watchin' out fer that kinda partner." |
|
| Nodding she pokes the others plat with her own fork stealing a bit of meat, a sausge of some sort. "Hurry up and eat, or I will for you." Thinking on the rest of it she goes back to her own plate. "...hmm when we are done, lets head right for the showers and labs. I'll get you some of the shots to take with you..we have to have them..maybe a change of clothes, then we'll see what we can learn on your partner." She finds herself pondering why he left her behind, she seemed devoted to him none the less. |
| A small growl could be hear coming from Akula as some of her food was stolen, though it wasn't exactly hostile. At her warning, she wasted no time in chomping, quite literally might I add, the remaining food. "Eh? Shots? Why do I gotta' get shots?" She questioned as she stood up, yawning slightly. "I'd rather take a nap..." She murmured. Hell, she always wanted to take a nap. She could quite possibly be the laziest Cursed Child ever. Akula then paused slightly at her ending statement. "He ain't my partner... I used ta' watch over him a lot, that's all. An' even that I doubt he knows. I was pretty low-key about it." |
|
| Glancing at the girl she sighs. "The shots are to make sure your Gastrea levels don't go past 50%. You might be fine, its just a emergency use item." Finishing her own food she stands up from the table and points the way once more. "Meh sleep once we do a basic search..besides your clothes will take time to clean anyways." Not wanting to commit on her fallowing him around antics she is concerned a bit for the girl, but waits till they are at the labs then mumbles. "Well maybe you should make sure he knows." |

| "I'd rather not... I've grown up not relying on stuff like that and my levels are fine. I don't want my body ta' start thinkin' it needs it to keep me sane... or sane-ish." Akula truthfully declined. If humans overused drugs, their bodies could lose the ability to feel pleasure unless they were using said drugs. Same thing could happen with medicinal ones. All the same, she bet such a thing could happen to Cursed Children as well. "Yeah, yeah." Akula grumbled as she followed her to the labs. "I was under orders, alright? He was important to tha' big boss. I was strong. He wanted me to make sure he didn't get himself killed. And trust me, he ain't tha' kind of guy ta' welcome help. The only way you can help him is if he don't know you're trying to..." She justified herself, shoving her hands in her coat pockets. How Karen said it led her to believe that she thought Akula was obsessed with him or stalking him... though she actually was. |
|
| "Hmm I won't force it. I don't use them as often as I should." Not sure what else to say unless she provokes the situation, as if true to her word, the lab is empty. Hopping up on a spinnable stool she at first attempts to spin on it, then remembers Akula there, pouting to herself, she uses Excita's code to gain entry to the file database. In putting the name she runs into security wall after security wall. "who the hell is he.." Redirecting to older records and houusing files she finds a match. "Hmm..well I can at least see what he looks like, maybe polic..." clicking the file she sees the image and almost instantly shakes. A mixture of fear and anger. "..I..I seen him.." |
| Seeing her pout, Akula begins patting her on the head. "Don't mind me. Yer still a kid anyway an' it's not like I'll care... Also, does it feel good ta' have yer ears scratched like this?" She inquired, honestly curious, as she scratched behind her ears. Dogs seemed to like it, and although she wasn't exactly a dog, she wondered if it was the same principle. As Karen attempted to find him, Akula waited patiently until she began to shake uncontrollably. Looking around her, her eye widened slightly and only for a moment at the picture. "Yep... That's him. You've seen'em?" She questioned, pausing and studying her reaction. "Er fought him more likely from yer reaction." |
|
| Against her own will her tail wags at the ear scratching, but still worried about the situation she calms herself. Taking a few breaths her personality seems to go more rigid and cold. " I wouldn't say we fought." Outlining the events, from why they were after him, she states more or less her animalistic side feared him, then going over the escape and later the meaningless actions in saving the minister whos blood went all of herself. Karen's shoulders slump heavily. "..I'm more worried about Otto, but even he backed off from him." Pausing a bit longer she powers off the computer. "HE should have just said he was with us..I..well I can still track him, I have his scent but.." Closing her eyes she breathes deeply. "Well what do you want to do, I said I would help you but how?" |
| "Tha' hell's Otto?" Akula questioned with a deadpan as she murmured about what she assumed were the events surrounding how she met Rajin. "That depends on you." She answered. "It depends if you're willing to track him. Ya' seem pretty well terrified. If ya' don't think ya' can, it's fine. I at least know he's in tha' city... I'll find him somehow." She told her. "An' like I said. He don't acknowledge help. You an yer buddy probably went to get his help with something or vice verse?" |
|
| "He was a former top 100. He's went off the grid. As to that, no, we had no idea who he was. We went after him as he broke a high level cursed child and we wanted to know why. He could have killed her, yet didn't." Crossing her arms and staring with a glare she shouts. "I'm not scared! Hmpf, I just don't want to walk that much, but fine, I'll track him for you." Knowing she likely dug herself into some sort of hole, she rolls her eyes. Pointing at the girl she decides to get some revenge. "Fine, I'll do it, Its decided, but I would like for you to get some weapons, just take something from the lockers, I'll sign off on it, and please wash. Leave your clothes where they can be cleaned." As if regaining her earlier defenses she smiles very pridefully. Grabbing a hand scanner she sweeps it near the girl. "A Sharky ehh, too bad the wolf is the predator of the land." Doing the same prideful laugh she waves her hand as if shooing her. "Get going, though...I want to question him. I need to control this part of me." Or I'll never get anywhere. "Oh he also got into some crazy fight, but we were too busy escaping with the minister to notice too much." (anyways I'm going for now, feel free to skip however far you want or to just reply to this) |
| Akula sighed at that. He was still the same as he always had been. That training with the Black Claw must've stuck with him even now. "Weapons? Oh, I got weapons." She commented, unzipping her coat to reveal a white tang top as well as an arm blade and wrist blade strapped to the insides of the jacket. She took note that Karen had regained her earlier attitude, her pride obviously overwriting her fear. "Yeah, yeah. I'll take a shower Pup." She teased in a tired tone, once more scratching her ears. "An I'll make sure he don't hurt ya'. Thing about him is he doesn't bother with people he don't need to. Long as ya' don't give him a reason to hurt you, he won't." Akula assured her truthfully as she then left for the showers. Stepping into the showers, she let out a tired sigh and leaned against the walls. Honestly, she couldn't wait to see Rajin again, even if it didn't look like it and even if he probably didn't want to see her. Hell, he might even try to kill her outright considering she left after him. He probably didn't even know she wasn't with the Black Claw anymore. She didn't really care though. Akula did really want to see him again. She as well wondered exactly how much more powerful Rajin had become, considering the girl's reaction to his picture. Akula sighed once more and stepped out, seeing her clothes having been taken to be cleaned, minus her eyepatch which she reequipped once more. She dressed in what she assumed to be her temporary change of clothing which wasn't that far off from her original attire, except that this track suit was black. Stepping out of the room she looked around for Karen. "Oi, pup. Ya' ready?" (Night Red. Only so far i can skip though :P) |
|
| Nodding a bit she shrugs. "Its been some time, but I still have his scent locked in." This time however when the pair meets she has the massive Zwiehander strapped to her back. Stoping for a bit Karen turns to a small room to the right, rummaging around in it she tosses a bag back to Akula. "..meh if he can he should just make it offical." Pouting about the ear scratching, she quickly throws on her hat as its bells jinggle. "Lets find him, then see how this all goes..though..to bad niether of us can drive." As if suddenly remembering the bag she points do it. "Your old clothes, some food stuff, but don't run off on me if things go bad with him...also your from the mainland arn't you. That name is Russian for Shark." Apperantly while Akula was away washing and napping Karen had done more digging. |
| "Damn it. Was hopin' I could take a nap on tha' way..." Akula grumbled slightly at her statement that neither could drive. Looking to the bag she passed to her, she nods. "Thanks Pup. I owe ya'." She thanked Karen as she slung the bag over her shoulder before nodding once more. "Bingo. Before I was adopted tha' same way as Rajin, I lived in Dzerzhinsk. Ever heard of it? No? Tip? Don't go to it. You'll probably choke ta' death before ya' get anywhere close." She advised with a scoff. "And I'm called Akula cause, guess what? I'm a shark type. Tha' fuckers who gave me a name weren't that creative... Most just called me Sharky anyway." She growled slightly, remembering a certain one-eyed old man who referred to her as such often. |
|
| "Hmm..seems like it." Shrugging a bit she heads off to the lobby then towards the open eair. Sniffing at the air she mommentarilly stiffens. "I have him.." (I'll let you decide where, sorry for short post, tired atm bbl) |
| Leaning down slightly, Akula softly patted Karen on the head through her hat. "Good girl. Go get'im." She slightly teased in a monotone as she followed her out the door and until she led them both to an entrance into the sewers. Akula scoffed as they stood over it. "Figures he'd be hidin' down in a place like this." She commented as she ripped the manhole out with ease. "Let's keep movin' Pup." She murmured as she hopped down into the dark depths, not giving Karen time to possibly protest following someone as dangerous as Rajin into a dangerous place such as the underground. |
|
| Just like the loli invaders said, I made it to the slums and took a spot above the streets. The cameras in the area were old but still working, not to hard to tape into on my computer and process. Within minutes I had the whole area on my monitor and in my eyes. I put my computer away and started to look for the two. |
 |
| Knowing the place like the back of their heads the duo avoided every single camera spot and made it back to their hideout this is a usual training for the two due to their incredible speed though sometimes Maho forgets at certain turns but Lesteria would have already pulled her back before entering the field of sight... When they entered they were greeted with something they did not expect...the twisted bear that Lésteria tossed into the sewer earlier was sitting up right on the couch as if it was waiting for their return. As expected Lésteria was in no mood and found her solitary grumpiness ever more increasing on top of that they failed and that she was hungry now. Ignoring the bear she turned to Maho out of concern she then asked,"what to eat...I'll make anything today..." |
| They swiftly made their way back to their base though Maho was almost too swift as she sometimes almost went into the view of some of the cameras littered across the slums. Luckily Ria prevented her from stumbling into their field of view of the cameras when it slipped her mind. When they actually got back there, the bear was already there and the sight of it sent chills down Maho's spine. There had always been something off about the bear and in the beginning Maho found it really creepy; sometimes when she woke up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom, the bear would be staring right at her or Ria. Maho was slightly bummed that the mission hadn't been a success but at the mention of food, she immediately perked up. "Hamburg (Salisbury) steak!" she exclaimed immediately, it the first meat meal that came to her mind. "Or anything with meat really. And I'll help!" |
 |
| The two made dinner and like Maho requested it was a hamburg steak. Finished Lésteria had went and did the dishes while Maho continued watching some more martial arts movie. Finding that she should for once grow up she left the bear alone as is and went out to her usual training spot by her lonesome self. Practicing a few daggers an all to familiar annoying voice then popped out," Aww, that's no good! No good at all..." The bear was on an empty oil barrel watching her practice her aim. |
| I wandered around for about an hour until I heard a ding in my backpack. My eyes flashed red as I took control of a camera and say the reason for a ding The little girl was close by and I couldnt help but smile Within a minute I was near her, hidden by the shadows "No one gets away from me" I kicked a rock out and got her to notice me as I pulled out Sakura from the guitar case |
