"Either way, I don't like this. Perhaps I'm just an old relic from a so-called "unenlightened" and "intolerant"values set, but this is bad and will not bode well, I say."

Rinoa raised an eyebrow. “Noted... but if all they do is ask for blood samples, then they're not asking our citizens to violate our laws. And I mean no disrespect when I say this, but... your personal opinion is irrelevant in this matter. You're welcome to write your senator or the President and pass along your opinion as is any other citizen, but it's not your decision to make.”

She shook her head. “Not mine either. Like I said, if they don't ask our citizens to violate our laws, then it's not our business... and even if they do that, it's still not either of our job. It'd be a law enforcement issue, not one for the military or a Ambassador.”

"Or this is all one big set-up. OR we could be seen as sticking our fingers in everyone else's pies. Of course, perhaps that would be worth it to make them get peace..."


Rinoa rolled her eyes. “Oi... you know, you'd make a great covert operative. You're paranoid as hell, you know that? Look, there's a possibility that it's a trap, but... I gave Jeriss the number of Samus Aran. She's an freelancer, not officially part of the Republic, so if it WAS a trap to incriminate the Republic, the best they can do is a few unprovable allegations, and a woman who sometimes works with the Republic, but who has also been known to break Republic laws.”

She decided to comment on his reaction to her political aspirations.

“Could be worse. I could be running for President.”

She'd let him have nightmares over that for the year.

[Planit Casino]

N nodded to H and set us up the bomb.

“Okay. We just need to blow this thing and go home.” N paused. “I'd step back, kiddos. This looks like an ordinary stick of TNT, but really it's twice as potent.”

Instead of the letters TNT, the dynamite read 'HA Brand'.

“... Seriously, stand back.” N warned.

[…]

Rica shrugged. “No need to kill her... yet. If she comes after us again, or the kids, then we can kill her. For now, let's go find the kids.”
[Nourasia]

First Kanna, and now Jade? Sama sighed and wished Crystal would keep being adorable and pink and huggleable and not revert into a kidney stabbing lunatic, okay CR?

Fourth Wall? What is your destruction doing making a cameo in RFTS!

“Here's my racer.”

Sama's ship was a fairly cool one; a sleek design with twin pods, one for the pilot that was stationary, and one that could move to all sides, above and beneath, for the gunner.

Crystal stopped as they reached Sama's ship. The girl looked up at the racer and couldn't help but to look impressed. The ship was huge and shiny, and was probably capable of magnificent stunts.

"This is AMAZING!" the girl exclaimed excitedly "you have the COOLEST ship!"

Planit Casino

Melanie nodded, eying wearily at the HA TNT that Agent N pulled out. She quickly shielded her eyes by burying her head in Galv's shoulder.

[...]

Kanna glared at Samuel a bit before he started yelling for Ethan.

She wondered if the two men were anywhere nearby...She had some beating up to do.

Mobius

Amy frowned and tightened her grip on Sonic as Shadow mentioned Sally. It was no secret that Amy didn't like that girl, especially now.

She glared at Shadow a bit before looking back to Sonic. "Don't you even worry about that girl!" she said with a smile "I'm here now!"

Azmuth's Place

Jade frowned for a moment "Wait, why can't we be Team Chan? Tennyson sounds kind dorky...At least with Chan we have the bad ass-ery that comes standard with any Asain name."

Sama felt his face go hot. He could tell that Crystal was impressed by the ship, and any chance he had to show off to his girlfriend was a good time in Sama's book. Now he had extra reason to win the race!

… Good luck.

“Hehehe, thank you!”

[Azmuth's Place]

“You should be.... TEAM LOVE AND PEAAAAAAAAACE!” Vash shouted, jumping between Ben and Jade and making his trademark stance.

Galv held Melanie tightly, bracing himself for the explosion, Agent H stepping away a safe distance too.

He paused then looked to the elevator...The numbers above the door were glowing...

“They've got the elevator working! We better hurry!”



Ethan picked up Claire, hoisting her over his shoulder.

“We should take her with us for the time being...If we don't we'll loose track of her, and she may try to impersonate someone again...” Ethan frowned, “And I think I heard Samuel...follow me.”

Ethan idly threw a piece of his ruined powered armor into one of the strange mutated creatures, killing it.



Samuel looked around, and soon he saw Ethan, carrying someone, presumably followed by Rica.

“Ah, Samuel!” Harkness said, “Long time no see.”

“Hello Jack,” Samuel said, “Have you seen my kid, and her's?”

“Galv and Melanie? Yah, I did,” Harkness said, “They went up that elevator.”

Ethan deposited Claire on the ground, frowning. Claire still had Kanna's form.

“If you ever wondered what you looked like, Kanna,” Samuel said, looking at Claire, “Eerie...”

-Azmuth's Place-

“We're Team Tennyson because there's two Tennysons,” Ben said, shaking his head, “Me and Gwen! So, it's Team Tennyson! Plus, alliteration! Team Tennyson sounds cooler then Team Chan. And there's already a Jade Team, so we can't be that!”

Ben paused, as Vash jumped between them, and he laughed.

“I'll keep that in mind Vash,” Ben chuckled. “Now come on, let's go already! We can't be late for the race!”

Ben hurried to his ship, and once everyone who was going was on it, it would take off!

-Mobius-

Sonic sighed, then simply shook his head, “Well, I appreciate the company, I guess. Most of the time I've been stuck dealing with government guys, and Knuckles. Not the best conversationalist. Only so many things we can talk about before he starts jabbering about that glowing rock of his.”

Sonic was grinning though. He did consider Knuckles as one of his best friends.

“As for Tails...haven't seen him around much since I first refused to fight the humans...Poor kid might still think I'm a traitor.”

Silver took a seat, and after a second, so did Silver.

He paused, then turned to Silver.

“So, Silver, how are you? Find out any more about your past?” Sonic wondered, “Or still a mystery?”

“Errr...I found out a little,” Silver answered, “Remembering a couple more things, like my mentor...Some other stuff.”

“Like what?” Sonic wondered, scarfing down another chilli dog, simply curious.

“Errr...” Silver's eyes darted to Amy. He didn't think he should say...

Kanna looked down at Claire who was on the ground and nudged her a bit with her shoe. She would have kicked the woman in the face but it seemed a bit unethical to mess up such a perfect one.

Yes, Kanna's vain, is that a surprise.

"Kinda eerie..." she muttered, looking back up. Let's leave her here to get shot up by robots "I'm sure Melanie and that boy are getting into trouble....Speaking of trouble and dumbasses-"

She walked over to both men, hitting Ethan in the arm with her fists "Why'd you think you could leave me back there!?"

She then moved to Rica to do the same, but stopped. Her eyes narrowed and she leaned in, sniffing.

"Why do you smell like my perfume?" she asked, looking back down at Claire-Kanna.



Azmuth's Place

Jade grudingly followed, a bit annoyed they couldn't be team Chan. It was just so much cooler.

"Didn't anyone tell you you're supposed to agree with everything your girlfriend says?"

Mobius

Amy's eyes widened and the pink hedgehog immediately grabbed Sonic's arm even tighter. "N-NOTHING! Nothing at all! Silver didn't find out a thing! Isn't that right?!"

Amy was a bit afraid the whole kid thing would cause the blue blur to run off again.

"Hehehehe"

Nourasia

Crystal giggled "Come on, you should probably show me around the thing before i'm expected to shoot. I'm sure we have a few minutes..."

Show around or make out, whichever one.

Pirate Ship

The Doctor drew a beam sword, activating it. The oriental woman's eyes widened as she bounced back a few times, still rubbing at her twitching hand. Nevertheless, the latest order of Accelerator had to be followed, so she would follow it to the letter.

But at least she had bought enough time.

She bounced further back towards the rotund man, who was still holding that glowing orb of light, just as the door hissed open and another figure walked into the room. Another pirate, this one looking almost as though he was emaciated, but incredibly tall and long-limbed.

Standing at almost 7 feet, he was definitely an imposing figure. And even then, he was slightly hunched over.

Then, the figure moved further forward, bringing up a simple handle, extending a massive energy sword from the handle, a blade that looked like an extremely oversized cleaver. He made a few extremely long leaps, carrying himself across the chamber in a bare 4 strides and swinging the energy-made cleaver around to try and cut The Doctor in half!

Accelerator in the meanwhile moved down to the ground, walking towards Rei.

"I thought I told you to put those icicles away and stop playing this useless game, Rei. Come on, we're all on the same side here. At least you and I. You know how NERV was. I just want some of your help, that is all. Help in getting back at humanity for what they did to us."

His nose scrunched up in disgust.

"You know what I'm talking about, Rei. You're not human. I am not human. Neither is anyone with power. No, we are so much more, but we are treated as so much LESS by the ones who call themselves "humans". I just want... To get back at them for all they've done. Don't you want the same thing? Don't you wish for revenge as well???"

As the battle progressed. The ship finally made its way out of the planet's gravity well and began to accelerate, heading away from Sentinel 3 and ignoring all hails from the nearest satellite.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Nourasia

Having thanked Lady Nori quite a bit ago and having received permission to visit for both business and pleasure capacity, chaos stepped back to let the others do the talking. He was happy to see that KOS-MOS was actually doing a lot of communication on her own. More than a year ago, the girl would have been hard-pressed to talk to anybody without doing so in official capacity and in a mechanical tone.

Now... Now she was so much more alive, so much more vibrant.

And then, his ears perked up. A race? Perhaps... This could be another way for helping this place! Nourasia WAS attacked, so they had to build up funds somehow. And chaos and KOS-MOS DID have a high-performance ship in the Lightwing, and it COULD potentially be a racer ship...

"... A race... I heard that some of Nourasia's races were rather extreme and legendary in their own right. Do you think we should participate?"

“Aw, don't waste the power armor. I could easily salvage that and add it to my ranger armor.” Rica frowned, but then he nodded.

“I guess we SHOULD take her with us... you've got super strength, you can carry her.” Rica grinned, patting Ethan on the back.

And then the groups were reunited. Rica grinned to Kanna.

“Hello, darling. You look good. We didn't take you because we didn't want you in danger.” Rica admitted, and then Kanna asked him about the perfume.

“... I'll be honest. Claire was impersonating you. We made out.”

Rica could always just point out that Kanna was currently sleeping with two men.

[…]

N set off the bomb. There was now a large hole in the floor.

“Let's go.”

[Azmuth's Place]

“Poor Benny-boy... he doesn't get women.” Vash shook his head. “Then again, he's a kid... when he's 900 he'll get it. Or be dead, I forget how long normal people live.”

[Nourasia]

“Well there's not much to show around... just a couple of pods... the controls are very much the same as on a mech...”

Sama paused. Though a tour was a chance to be alone...

“You know, on second thought, there IS something I should show you...”

He just wants to make out.

[Pirate Ship]

Rei shook her head.

“You may be correct... we are not human. We were taken and changed, our humanity replaced by powers... and yes, there are many humans who treat us as less than them... but they do it from ignorance and fear.”

Rei held her ground, holding up her ice knives. She was still ready to fight Accelerator, to the death if she had to.

“Humans are a frightened creature by nature. They fear what they do not understand. It is just their nature... they fear what NERV did... people like you, who would hold their ignorance against them... all you do is confirm their fears of us. To truly change anything, we must show the humans that we are NOT different, not in the important areas... only then can we bridge our differences and come together as one people.”

Rei has been a companion of The Doctor for a year. You pick up some smarts.

Even though Melanie was covering her eyes the explosion still hurt for a moment, eenough that the girl let out a bit of energy.

At least enough to catch Kanna's attention.

[...]

Kanna glared at Rica, now hitting him in the arm. "You idiot, you made out with THAT? Disgusting"

.....Ummm that is you.

The woman crossed her arms over her chest "Well, I guess I can let you know that Samuel and I made out then"

.....No you didn't.

Luckily she didn't get to enjoy her statement too much, she felt Melanie's energy and gave a little gasp, moving past the men and looking at the elevator. "She's up there"

Crystal smiled, follwing Sama for their little tour.

[...]

Soon enough Ben's ship would have arrived.

Ethan rubbed his arm slightly after Kanna punched it. The woman could throw a punch.

“For the record, she does make a convincing you,” Ethan said, “She even got the insults right.”

Samuel sighed, shaking his head, “Kanna, you're seeing two guys right now yourself. You really can't talk.”

It's a good thing Samuel's invulnerable. Kanna would have killed him a long time ago by now.

Well, I guess I can let you know that Samuel and I made out then"

“Wait what?” Samuel said, “No we didn't! You kissed me! After I accused you of being Claire! That wasn't making out!”

Ethan found himself chuckling, but stopped when Kanna told them where Melanie was.

“Watch her,” Ethan told Samuel, indicating Claire, then stepped back, looking up.

“Which floor?” Ethan wondered, “Can you be a bit clearer? I don't want to have to do this more then once.”



There was a hole!

“Let's go,” Agent H said, moving down the hole, Galv helping Melanie down.

“Now, let's see...There might be stairs on this level...” Agent H frowned, looking around, “N, do you have schematics of the building?”

Galv held Melanie's hand tightly, his free hand sparking, ready to fight his way out.

-Ben's Ship-

“Come on Jade, you know how well I listen,” Ben grinned at his girlfriend, “It's something we have in common!”

Ben's ship would be approaching Nourasia soon. The Rabbit Talisman may or may not have improved travel time.

-Mobius-

Sonic winced as Amy grabbed his arm tighter, attempting to pull it free, and failing horribly.

“Ummm...okay then,” Sonic said, a little confused.

“Errrr...yah! Nothing else,” Silver answered, rubbing the back of his head. He was a horrible liar.

“I see...” Sonic said, wondering what was up. “You sure Amy? Not keeping any secrets from me, are you?”

He was saying that jokingly though. If they were hiding something, he didn't really care.

-Pirate Ship-

“Well, I suppose now I won't have to fight a girl...” The Doctor muttered, moving backwards as the man with the energy cleave slashed at him, barely avoiding the strike.

“Come on now, can't we talk about this?” The Doctor wondered, pointing his Screwdriver at the man, trying to get his blade deactivated, “Maybe a nice hot cup of tea?”

Kanna thought about it for a minute before answering Ethan "Somewhere far...Near the top" she finally answered. She really didn't feel like waiting for th elevator....But she definitely couldn't make it up the stairs.

Darn you babies! Ruin Kanna's perfect shape!

"We need to hurry...Where are the stairs?!"

"Of course not!" Amy said quickly "I would never keep anything from you!"

Poor Amy, in love with a jerkface.

Jade Rolled her eyes, watching as they approached Nourasia. The would land right near the other racers.

"Oooh! I wonder if there's a prize for this race!"

KOS-MOS nodded.

“We have to participate. I believe the race will help the Nourasian people forget their troubles, even just temporarily. I do not know if we can win such a race, as Miss. Molly is very skilled... but we should still attempt.”

[…]

Sama opened the door of the ship. The inside was rather small, but there was a advanced control panel, one that at first glance would be too complicated for Sama, but somehow was not. There was another chair in the back, just behind a massive gun torrent’s controls.

“So... I guess this is it. The ship's not all that big, but it has really powerful engines, and the guns are military grade AA! Only reason I have guns that good on a racer is because I was able to get them from the UTR.”

Sama grinned and hugged her. “And I know with you shooting, we'll be sure to win.”

[Planit Casino]

Rica was relieved when Kanna found her daughter's direction. He didn't want to bring up the conversation of who had made out with who... since he was the one at fault here.

“Then let's hurry and find them!”

[…]

N shook her head.

“Nope, sorry. I didn't come here... on official business...” She admitted. “The only thing I knew was that Benny had a private elevator.

The long-limbed man jumped backwards as his light-cleaver winked out of existence. So The Doctor wasn't against using dirty tricks of his own. Well, he was fighting a pirate... Which meant dirty tricks were in business.

The man brought a hand up, forefinger and middle finger crossed over one another, the other arm bringing the handle of the sword to this.

"Pagua sonfa pagua sonfa pagua sonfa pagua sonfa..."

A ball of light, similar to the one the older rotund man was using as a light source for the room appeared in his hand. As it did, the man's decorated belt buckle blinked a few times, pulsing along with the ball as the giant of a man threw the ball forward, setting it off like a flashbang between the two, trying to blind The Doctor.

And trying to catch him off-guard with a followed-up underhanded dagger throw behind the light flash!

[---]

Accelerator LAUGHED at Rei's response.

"Them? Why should I CARE about them? THEY hurt US, Rei! THEY are the ones at fault in this, and THEY are the ones who created us as "monsters". Heehee... You don't GET IT!"

He changed from laughing to angrily screaming at the girl in a second.

"No, we're not monsters. We're not human. We're BETTER! We're the next evolution of humanity, the next step of power. We are CLOSER to the ultimate being, Rei! To humanity, we are DEMIGODS, and WILL BE TREATED AS SUCH!!!"

He breathed heavily after yelling so loudly, coughed and wiped spittle off his mouth.

"Do you understand? We're BETTER than they are. We have power, something they don't. And I want to SHOW them. Come on, help me out, SHOW those bastards that you are better than them, show them that we are the ones destined to rule while they are the ones who should be our slaves. Help me, and I can assure you that you will live forever in history as a GODDESS."

chaos grinned at KOS-MOS.

"Well then, perhaps we should join in. I would love to test out the capabilities of the ship we have been given access to. I do not know if it is truly a racer ship or if we can even win... But perhaps it is possible. And I do not wish to miss such a fun event. Come on!"

He turned to give Lady Nori a bow.

"I would be honored to participate in one of the famous Nourasian races. May we participate?"

“Thanks,” Ethan said, then suddenly turned, grabbing Samuel.

“What the-?” Samuel said, as Ethan spun, then launched Samuel into the air, aiming for near the top, but to the side of where Kanna had pointed.

“Rica, would you like to go next?” Ethan smirked, “I'm pretty sure I can aim for the hole Samuel will make, so you don't splatter.”



“Well then, we'll just have to hurry and look, or just blast our way down. How many of those sticks did you bring?” Agent H said.

Then the wall exploded, but away from them, further down the hallway as something man shaped was thrown through it, crashing into the wall beyond that, landing amidst a small conference room.

“That must have been for Kanna kissing me...” Samuel grumbled, picking himself up, “And my shirt's ripped...I liked this shirt.”

“...Dad?” Galv muttered quietly, unbelieving as Samuel stepped out of the hole, looking around.

“Galv! Melanie!” Samuel said, “Found you!...And who are they?”

Agent H was staring intently at Samuel.

“You...” Agent H said, “I think I know who you are...”

“This is-” Galv began, but was cut off by H.

“You must be an older brother of Galv,” Agent H declared. Samuel paused, then shook his head.

“Ummm...no...I'm Samuel...his father...” Samuel answered.

“...You don't look old enough,” H frowned, but then smiled, “We have a lot to talk about...after we get out of here!”

-Mobius-

“Probably true...” Sonic frowned a little, then shrugged, “Can I have my arm back now, Amy?”

Sonic finished his last chilli dog though, sighing contentedly, “That was good...and hey, who's that?”

He pointed to Luna, who hadn't spoken yet.

-Nourasia-

Ben exited his ship!

“Come on Gwen, cheer up...We're on an alien planet! And these guys use magic! Well, not magic, since that's not real,” a quick grin at Jade, “But same diff.”

-Pirate Ship-

The flash bang went off, and the man attacked with a dagger.

“You should have accepted that offer of tea.”

The Doctor had moved to the side, the dagger passing him by. The Time Lord swung his light saber, attempting to slice the man's arm off.

“I gave you a chance. Don't throw away the second one,” The Doctor scowled. “I've stared into the Untempered Schism of Time. A flash bomb isn't going to make me blink.”

Didymus sighed.

"Yeah, I realize that, by and large."

He shook his head.

I hope the higher-ups see things this way, as well, I suppose...

"Not mine either. Like I said, if they don't ask our citizens to violate our laws, then it's not our business... and even if they do that, it's still not either of our job. It'd be a law enforcement issue, not one for the military or a Ambassador.”

"I suppose...still, mark my words, this bodes ill."

He listened to her comments on his paranoia.

"OF COURSE I'm paranoid. I've fought insurgencies (Rinoa may have recognized this as a recalling of the Fornax Insurrection), full wars, survived assasination attempts, watched the media betray my men and I, and for the last YEAR I've been tracking one who stood once as my friend, and his companions. I, and ANY soldier who guards our people and our Republic, NEED to be a little paranoid. Better safe than sorry. But me, perhaps, especially. I've had to track and stand vigil and many who start getting close to me either go rouge or somehow wind up opposite my weapon. I HAVE to be paranoid. Men such as I have enemies EVERYWHERE. I..."

He sighed, pausing.

"...I apologize. You didn't need to hear that, but suffice to say, a little paranoia is part of the job I hold."


“Could be worse. I could be running for President.”


She would have been treated to seeing him look scared, if only for a moment.

"...if I may say so, I think you'd be wasting your time, personally."

“... We are not any ultimate being. We are not demigods. We are simply... different.” Rei spoke, a frown appearing on her face. Accelerator was a madman, corrupt in his own power and absorbed by his own selfishness. Rei was disgusted.

“We are no better or worse than the rest of humanity... we're simply different. I want to show them... I want to show them that we're not enemies. I do not wish to be enslaved or hated by them; nor will I help you hate and enslave them! I will stop this... I will stop YOU.”

[Planit Casino]

Rica chuckled a bit.

“... You know, why the hell not? It's not like the impact would kill me.”

If there was any doubt that somehow, Rica and Ethan, in their own special way, were getting along better, this should erase it. Rica was ready to be hurled at a building by Ethan... because it was faster.

[Nourasia]

“Whaddiya mean magic isn't real?” Vash tilted his head at Ben. “I don't know if I believe that...”

[TRS Crusader]

“Blah blah blah. You're so NEGATIVE. A little paranoia might be a good thing to keep you on edge, but you OVERDO it! You need to tone down the paranoia, or you're just going to end up losing something good. I've seen it before.”

She shook her head.
