Mobius, insurgent building

Samus had maintained stealth, but for Sama, well...

...the mobian scoffed.

"You don't even pay attention to your own government? Humans..." he said.

"...and YOU have a friend from us from when you fought us? Bah! Why should I believe you? You're working for a nation that is itself propping up House Acorn! Of COURSE you just want me to go quietly, so you can bury THIS!" he said, gesturing at Aleena's body again.

(Samus can also show up anytime, GS.)

Munitions dump

The insurgents had taken cover, and while a few outside did drop their weapons (and either run or remain effectively paralyzed trying to cope with the sound), there were still plenty inside, protected from the sound.

The turrets kept firing.


"They're still at it. You know what to do now." Didymus said to Asuka and Rei, having just given them a string of orders.

[Mobotropolis]

Vash grinned happily, apparently not thinking about any of the danger or political turmoil and focusing on food.

“Let’s go!” Vash called.

[Insurgent Building]

Sama shook his head. “Why should you believe me? Because if I was here to bury this, I would have just shot you in the head the moment I saw you. I don’t care what you believe. I’m just trying to avoid bloodshed.”

He was getting worried. The Hedgehog was looking like he would not stand down. Sama did not want to hurt him, or risk increasing the conflict, but he was willing if he had to.

Samus had arrived, but was on the other side of the door, waiting and listening over the comlink. If there was trouble, she would attack.

[Munitions Dump]

Rei took point on this one. Using the scoped laser rifle, she took sight on the nearest turret and fired a targeted-blast at it, hoping to destroy the target without causing too much damage to the nearby munitions.

Asuka, meanwhile, was firing at a different turrent.

[Nova’s Ship]

Rica was taken aback by Jagan’s words. This guy was strange, and suddenly Rica was less mad at him. He was am amusing guy.

“…” Rica remained silent, his hands in his pockets.

[Mr. Smoothie]

Kevin crossed his arms.

“Why talk about it? Either let’s DO it, or let’s do something else. Enough waiting around.”

NL Apocalypse Medical Bay

Kanna found herself paralyzed and once again placed on the bed, the woman feeling slightly dizzy as she had just been hit from several directions at what seemed like all at once. The woman still was breathing quite hard and the same look of anger was on her pale face. She wanted to rip this guy limb from limb, but in her current state could not.

Melanie stood next to her mother's spot, fretting over the injuries and trying to keep her mother calm. She didn't think anything bad of these people, but her mom seemed to hate them....

Surprised to find that physical violence is so commonly accepted, and that I must respect those that would be violent this way to my person. This requires some investigation, and I would be grateful if you would aid me in this particular venture, for you seem to be much more familiar with said custom."

"It's complicated...Especially with her" Jason stated simply, referring to Kanna. The woman, glared over to her son but said nothing.

"Maybe you should sleep momma" Melanie tried, hoping to calm the situation even more. The woman shook her head.

"I don't need sleep. We need to get out of here."

Melanie frowned and made her way over to Jason. The boy tried to offer his younger sister a smile. It didn't work too well. Jason was bothered slightly with the man too. After all he hated when people messed with his mom, even if she was a psycho woman at times....Okay most of the time....Okay ALL of the time.

-Nova's Ship: Medical Bay-

“...What, no, it's not!” Samuel said quickly, “Violence is still frowned upon.”

“Stupid thing, if you ask me,” Ethan snorted, “How else are you suppose to find out who's the best if you can't beat their face in?”

Samuel sighed, “Please, ignore them. They're jerks.” He pointed to both Ethan and Rica, “My name is Samuel, by the way. Samuel Hawkins.”

Erin shuddered.

“But...I...killed people...I couldn't blame him...” Erin merely answered, then closed her eyes. She needed to rest.

-Mobotropolis-

Soon, Sonic and Vash were at the chili dog stand.

“Four chili dogs, my good sir,” Sonic said, “And what do you want Vash?”


Elsewhere, Manic was wandering around.

Mobius-insurgent building

The mobian paused, then spoke again.

"You make a point, although you may still simply be hoping that I will surrender and make things easier for you...I will tell you what. If you can show my lady's body, complete with the wounds that killed her, if you can get that information out here, now, I will stand down." he said.

Something of an unreasonable demand, perhaps. It's not that he was in a very good position, though.

Mobius, munitions dump

The turrets went up in flames, easily destroyed by Asuka and Rei's mech's weapons (grammar? XD).

Marine transports began landing.

The missile turrets stopped firing.

"Excellent work, you two." Didymus said. "The insurgents are standing down. The marines will secure the base. Once they give the go-ahead, head back to the Crusader and wind down. Miss Ayanami...how was this for you? Do you think this helped?"

Soon enough, the marines would indicate they had secured the base...but had made an interesting discovery...which I'll account a bit more in my next point.

Sama paused. Didymus would probably not agree with this demand, and Sally Acorn would probably be even more upset. Still, Sama had never really been one to care too much for rules, regulations or proper procedures.

“… Fine. If it means avoiding any further bloodshed, I’ll make a video right now and make sure it’s sent to the press. Is that acceptable?”

[Munitions Dump]

Asuka nodded (which was stupid to do over a comlink) and then replied: “Alright. We’ll be on standby if you need us.”

She watched the marines swarming over the base, and wondered whether or not she could ever make it as an infantry soldier. Probably not.

[Mobotropolis]

Vash sweat dropped.

“Uh… I’ll take three chili dogs, but is there any way you can glaze them? Or put donuts on them?”

Mobius, insurgent building

The mobian paused.

"Hmm...that still may not be sufficient. How about if you take the video, send it off, and negotiate amnesty for my fellows and I? We will lay down our arms, in exchange for Sally's promise that we may go in peace...and with our dead..." he said, tapping Aleena's body.

His request had somewhat increased.

Just then, Sama got a message.

From Didymus. It was a silent message, so as not to disrupt stealth operations, so text.

"What's going on? Status update." is what it read.

Acorn Palace, Mobotropolis

Didymus quickly looked back to Sally, after the marines reported some findings...

"L-lady Acorn...I...the marines just found something..."

Sally raised an eyebrow.

"Yes?" she asked.

"...the munitions dump. It...they...old Republic weapons. Previous-generation tanks. Rifles. Mechs. I have no idea how they got there."

Sally paused.

"Those are just old Robotnik tools, and old weapons the Overlanders used during Mobius' Great War. When I was just a child..."

Didymus' jaw dropped.

"Something wrong?" Sally asked.

Didymus was shocked. He had just come to a realization. There were still some puzzle pieces missing, perhaps at least, but his suspicions were fueled...

"I think I may know what happened..." he said. "...you say the "Overlanders"..."

"I told you." Sally said. "They brought your culture, your langauge, your weapons to us. They looked like deformed humans, usually missing a finger, or other strange mutations..."

"...oh dear." Didymus said. "...oh dear. No wonder NERV tried to get that data...and Katsuragi, during the war...during the war...tried to ruin my career...could it be?"

Sally thought he was babbling, as do probably most of you who are reading this post. But Didymus suddenly thought he now may have figured out a deep, dark secret of NERV's...

This was confusing. Violence, no violence? Some people seemed to agree with this man that seemed more reasonable, some seemed to completely disagree... And so far, the agreeable was pretty much the only one who denied that violence was not a common occurrence.

"... I see." Jagan was... Still confused. "Nevertheless, it seems that some of your companions disagree. Therefore, I shall have to brush up on modern courtesies regardless."

Desty Nova finally stepped up beside Jagan, stretching a hand out to grab Walter's and shaking it.

"You have to forgive Jagan. He was raised as a military man from the age of eight and has been within some of the more nasty conflicts throughout history. And living with us does not exactly improve one's speaking or communication habits. I am Professor Desty Nova, and I am pleased to have some more company on the NL Apocalypse, the ship which you are on at the moment. We are currently in orbit over Mobius, winding down after a rather heated defense of said planet from the Metarex."

He walked over to the tube full of green gel in which Felix was floating, bubbles coming up every so often from him, several tubes having extended from somewhere in the ceiling and to Felix's mouth to provide breathable air. He watched closely, checked some of the monitors, and nodded with satisfaction.

"Seems fine. He shall recover quickly."

Then, he chose his next destination to be Kanna's bedside, and in particular, Melanie.

"And now, we must discuss something. Everyone listen up, this is a choice that will have to be made by all of you, though the choice is very... Full of constraint! Kyaaa-hahahaha!"

He again whipped a plate of flan from seemingly thin air and took some of the dessert before continuing.

"I have searched for a certain item for a long time now, an item that is currently in Melanie's possession. It is a key to one of my smaller ships, a key I have lost while jumping through time and space one time, trying to get away from a rather nasty enemy. This key has remained lost until now. Melanie is wearing it around her neck as a pendant, and a pretty pendant it is. I would hate to take it from her.
"However, this places me at a conundrum. I need that key. And I would hate to take something pretty away. So, instead, I offer you all a choice. Either Melanie KEEPS it until I can make a replica, and you all travel with me for a little while, visit places where barely any human ever set their foot. OR, I can simply take the pendant from her and send you all on your way, let you do your thing."

He grinned, took another spoonful of flan and ate it with a blissful look on his face.

"The choice is rather simple. In any case, I will wait until that one in the gel is recovered, but feel free to talk amongst yourselves. However, I will require Jagan's... Special abilities and talents soon enough. I am planning on having him drop down to Mobius and have him cause some havoc, destroy some rebels, perhaps finish peace talks. But for now, he is free to... Socialize! Kyaaa-hahaha!"

Jagan, however, continued to talk to Erin.

"The blame does not lie with anyone in this case, not yet. I understand that you have killed before. Out of necessity, self-defense, or anger. I have also killed. And so has every soldier that found themselves in a conflict. What you do not realize, it seems, is that does not make you a bad person, a monster or a murderer. Would you blame this Jason, for instance, if he killed a man to protect you? This is a similar case. The only time you should worry about something like this is if you ENJOYED killing, and never felt sorry for it afterwards."

Now becomes the the past in an instant — and everyone will eventually die! Destiny triumphs over human knowledge and goes mad! That is the way of things! I spit upon this frail, crazed, world! I spit upon the Second Law of Thermodynamics!
~ Desty Nova, Karmatron Theory

Let them Label me! Let them swear and curse at me as I tug humanity like a bucking bull into the darkness of the unknown, revealing its secrets to the sane and driving them MAD! In ages long past, I shall be looked upon as a tyrant and a savior! As a savant and as a fool! My work shall advance humanity long past its time, throw it into the unknown future and force it to grow strong or FALL! Years from now, when I will inevitably be removed, my work shall continue to progress, because these things cannot be denied! Governments will publicly criticize my work, but privately conduct research that advances it! I shall imprint myself into the annals of history, among the stars that shine as brightly as Albert Einstein, Isaac Newton, Benjamin Franklin, Dmitri Mendeleev, Nikola Tesla, and countless others! My work will shine as brightly as any star, and I AM ITS CREATOR!!!

Sama frowned and shook his head.

“You’re asking for a lot. I know Sally Acorn wants this to end without bloodshed, but I don’t think she’d agree to complete amnesty. It’s possible your subordinates could negotiate for something, but she’ll want someone to hold accountable.”

While he might have disliked politics, he was no fool about them. While he was speaking to the Hedgehog, Sama used the nanomachines to send a text message back to Didymus

“Contact the leader. He’s willing to stand down for amnesty and acknowledgement of Aleena Hedgehog’s death.”

Acorn Palace, Mobius

Didymus had been hit hard by his realization/guess.

Then came Sama's text, which hit him hard as well.

At least it re-focused his mind on the situation.

"Lady Acorn..." he said.

"...my agent in the field has just said the insurgent leader in the city is willing to negotiate for amnesty...and acknowledgment of Aleena Hedgehog's death..."

"WHAT?!" Sally cried, causing some of the other mobians in the room to flinch. Even Didymus did a tiny bit, but not nearly as much (Sally was not even four feet tall, so she was less intimidating to him than to her fellow mobians).

Sally tried to compose herself, patching herself through to Sama.

"Sama, was it?" she said. "Does this rebel have proof? I had no idea Aleena was dead, or even WHERE she was! It sounds like just an attempt to portray me as corrupt!"

Sally was practically raging. This day, for her, had gone from bad, to getting better, to much, much worse.

"Sama..." Didymus said. "...handle this carefully. If word gets out that Aleena's dead, especially if it even looks like Lady Acorn could be responsible...it will be VERY difficult to get peace to settle in on Mobius We want to find the truth here, but if we act too rashly, people may be killed who don't need to be. We need to be cautious here."

Insurgent Building

The mobian shook his own head and chuckled, before speaking.

"I suppose I am asking a lot...if it's too much to ask, I suppose we'll have to fight..." he said, but made no aggressive moves.

Sama listened as Didymus and Sally spoke. Luckily, all the words were transmitted via his CODEC, and so no one else could hear it, even if they stood right next to him. Sama could also speak using CODEC and no one would hear it – but no one understands how that is possible.

He did not respond immediately, however, as first he turned his eyes to the Hedgehog.

“I’m communicating with my CO right now. I’ll let you know what I’m authorized to agree to. I ask your patience. I would rather avoid bloodshed.”

Sama was not worried. He was well-trained, well-armed and Samus was just outside the door.

“Didymus, Lady Acorn… there is proof. Aleena’s body is right in front of me. I don’t know who killed her. How do you want me to proceed?”

Melanie frowned and Jason and Kanna's eyes were on Nova.

"She's not going with you" Kanna stated without hesitation. Jason gave a nod in agreement. Even when they were both bedridden they managed to have an air of intimidation about them. Especially Kanna. Heck, Kanna could be half dead and still scare grown men.

"She's 13. She's not going" Jason added.

Melanie stayed quiet. She knew she had no say in this. Instead she just clutched her pendant.

"If you want that damn necklace just take it" Kanna added finally. Melanie's eyes widened and the girl shook her head.

"N-no it's mine!" She exclaimed, rushing back to Galv's side. She didn't want to give it up. "It was a gift..."

-Mobotropolis-

Chili Dog Stand

The cook raised an eyebrow at Vash, but didn't say anything, instead going to work.

Soon, he produced their food...And Vash's chili dogs were adorned with donuts.

“Thanks!” Sonic said, paying for the food (at a discount, of course, the chef insisted), and munched down on his food, “Nothin' like a chili dog.”

Outside Acorn Palace

Manic appeared by the Acorn Palace.

“Hey,” he said to the guards, “I've been looking around town, and some of the riots seem to have been broken up...One guy I talked to whimpered about a blur of blue that belittled him and called him names...Has Sonic been here?”

-Nova's Ship: Medical Bay-

“I'm sure he'd let you all come,” The Doctor said. “Not just Melanie.”

Galv took Melanie's hand, glancing to her.

“If Melanie doesn't want to give it up, then she won't,” Galv said steadily. He was not injured like the others, but he was drained from creating an EMP blast earlier. That didn't mean he'd attack someone who tried to take Melanie or her necklace.

Of course, Nova's request was more then reasonable. They were just teenagers. Reason and teenagers rarely mix.

“...We can probably trust him...” Ethan spoke up, oddly. He did not, however, point to Nova. But to The Doctor.

“He's the reason Samuel and I managed to escape from NERV,” Ethan continued, “But I don't know about the others.”

“Oh, Nova's eccentric, but then again, so are most geniuses,” The Doctor said, “I'm sure we can figure this all out peacefully.”


“That's the thing though...I didn't care that I killed anyone...I've done it just because I was annoyed at someone...I watched them struggle to breath, and fall over dead...I didn't care. Why should I? They were nameless faces...They talked bad about me. I didn't like it...” Erin continued to think to herself, “It hasn't been very long...maybe a year...since...since I last did that...And that wasn't for lack of trying...”

Erin had been deliberately brought up to be a sociopath by NERV. They wanted her to be able to bypass any armor of an enemy. Take away the air they needed to breathe...

-Earth-

Mr. Smoothie

Ben pulled out his Plumber's Badge, turning it on and using it, looking through it.

“Hmmm...That's...weird...” Ben finally said, turning it off, “I'm not picking up the signal for his badge...It might have it silent...Or...”

He paused. If the badge wasn't working, it either meant the badge was destroyed or Max had shut it off completely for some reason. Both of those options bothered Ben.

“Maybe we should go back and talk to Azmuth...”

Outside, one of the guards nodded and spoke.

"Yes, he was just here...went for food, I think." he said.

Inside, Didymus' mind was racing.

He looked to Sally, who hesitated, but slowly, realizing that she couldn't override his Republic loyalty or duties, nodded.

"Take details on the body." Didymus said. "As for the mobian insrugent..."

Sally spoke. "He has to be detained...if he so much as spreads word before we're ready to announce what's happened..."

Didymus nodded.

He knew Sama wasn't going to like this.

"The mobian has to be detained." he said. "As does the rest of his posse. And again, make sure you get records of, maybe have Samus scan the body. I'll forward the results to EarthCom. I've redirected some marines. We'll hold onto the insurgents and Aleena's body until Mobius is ready to learn about what happened-and until WE know what happened. We STILL don't know who's behind this..."

"It WASN'T me..." Sally added. "...I had no idea where Aleena was since the war ended..."

"Republic marines will be arriving shortly, Sama. In the meantime, you have your orders."

He swallowed. Sama was never one to consider the political aspects of his work, but Didymus hoped that THIS time he'd acknowledge that failure to do so could lead to even more unnecessary fighting.

“Miss Sally...this is a sign...”

A brown fox Mobian stepped forward, dressed in his blue uniform. He had been quiet throughout the proceedings. He was, in fact, allowed to be there, being a heavily decorated general from both the Overlander war and the war against the U.T.R.

Posted Image

He was Amadeus Prower, father of Sonic's famed sidekick, Miles 'Tails' Prower.

“The world is in turmoil. People call for a leader. Let them choose for themselves a new one. I've brought this up before, but I have always been turned a deaf ear too,” Amadeus said. There was a tension in the room.

“The U.T.R. can help us. They have had centuries of experience in this. They can help assure a fair election...” Amadeus continued, “We must use this opportunity to stop more violence, from someone with less the desirable goals to capitalize on this and get to power.

“Princess Sally...We must throw away this monarchy that is causing this problem. What we need is a democracy.”
