Airship-ballroom “You ain't in no place to give commands. Let me ask ya... you got a gun, I bet, but can you kill eight of us before we open fire? We'll cut down a mess of your precious nobles by the time you kill us all... and considering these people are 'important', that'd be bad.” Didymus paused, and shrugged. "Indeed it would be. But I will say that if you kill ONE person, the rest of you WILL die one way or another. And as for killing some of the aristocrats...again, that would be tragic. The loss of your lives would be tragic as well...and are you willing to be killed just to take some aristocrat blood? A few lives for a few lives? Is that really what you're willing to settle for?" “See this? Yeah... if yer all try ta fight back, this ship crashes! And we ain't alone... I got friends of mine down in deh engineering room, ready to blow up the engine!” I TOLD THEM we should have checked out the engine room, but NOOOO. "They'll be FINE! They've got POWERS!" Yeah, sure, great plan. "...so you REALLY are willing to trade your lives for ours? To share our fate? Because the solutions you present to us are pay, which I doubt these ladies and gentlemen wish to do, although I suppose it's up to them, or be killed, or take a few of you with us? ...are you truly that determined, sir? Are you REALLY prepared to make that choice? And how will your friends in the engine room even KNOW when to disable the ship? I wish to ask again: stand down, please. Nobody needs to die here today..." His grip on his weapon tightened... |

Airship - Cargo Bay As the situation on the airship grew progressively more intense, escalating to dangerously tense levels, a certain box in the cargo bay began to shift around. This box, a box that wasn't there previously mind you, began to move, and started to fold in on itself before opening itself in a rather unusual manner, sliding panels opening the front to reveal a pair of intrepid explorers. In this case, a pair of teenagers with an explorer's mindset. Riley was dressed in something rather unusual to his normal self. This was, after all, a big party and he needed to blend in. This meant that he was actually dressed in something fancy, and the tweed suit fit him like a glove. It was a suit that he acquired just a few months ago for a job-well-done on one of the local automatons in his district. It fit him well now, having been a bit too big at the time of its creation, and didn't show absolutely any sign of age whatsoever. Underneath the suit, however, was Riley's prized combat suit. It wasn't as much a suit as a set of plates that covered the body and could expand into a rather impressive array of blades, servo arms and various other tools. Of course, anything of this scale that Riley build was prone to glitching. But that wasn't a very big concern, not this time around. Next to Riley was his rather infamous backpack. The Backpack of Everything, as the boy had lovingly labeled said item, was a large travel pack filled with everything he needed in his line of work, raw materials, some very unorthodox weapons, strange gadgets and more. At this point, however, Riley was retrieving the emergency sandwich. "So, Firefly, ready to go out there and find out what's going on? I think I've had enough hiding." |

Airship Kanna eyed Tony, but failed to put away her gun. "You speak as if you have no confidence in me" she told him, playing with the pistol and suddenly aiming at one of the thugs. "I assure you Mr. Stark, that I am a wonderful shot" She then spoke to the thug who was threatening to blow up the airship " As for you....You seem to think we care if you try and make us some sort of example for your idiotic cause. Blowing us up isn't going to make you any more rich, hell i'm sure even in death one of us will be worth more than all of you put together." [...] Melanie nodded and followed Galv, heading towards the engine room (and unknowingly into more trouble) [...] Colette pouted a bit, but gave a nod, making the realization that nothing was really going to fit her. "At least you look pretty!" she said with a grin. "Come onnnn we're gonna miss the party!" |

[Airship] [Ballroom] The bandits were unprepared for the resistance they were facing. There was this obnoxious soldier who was trying to talk them into surrendering, and some wealthy lady who was waving a gun around like a lunatic. It was somewhat surreal. The leader of the thugs wondered why the military wanted to talk them out of this, and the aristocrat wanted to put bullets in them. This guy was confused, and unprepared, but he had been told that everything would be alright. Their benefactor had guaranteed that this would work... “Look pal, dah leaders of the big companies and the politics are all here. So what if a few bums from the slums die.. all of the bigwigs will die too! Then the other folks like me can rise up and take power like we should!” Then Kanna spoke. The leader looked furious. “What? Yous saying that even in death yous better than me? How dare ya woman? You think you're so high and mighty, I'll teach ya!” He aimed his gun. Tony calmly took something from under his jacket and dropped it. The 'something' was a small bronze ball, and the moment it hit the ground there was a bright flash that illuminated the room, blinding pretty much anyone who would be facing it. As the majority of the room was looking at the gunmen, they would be more or less unharmed – but the gunmen, facing the group, would be blinded temporarily! “Gaaaah!” The blinded leader and his men opened fire! “Stop them!” Alice called, running forward with her dagger. Rica frowned and grabbed a candlestick from a nearby table, also charging the thieves, ready to attack! Sama frowned, and looked around the room, frantic, trying to catch sight of Tony or Crystal. [Engineering Room] The engineers had been surprised and attacked by a second group, this one containing five men. Now, the engineers were in the corner, tied up and unconscious. The five men were waiting on word from their bosses upstairs. |

Airship-ballroom When one of the men aimed his weapon, Didymus drew his own-and then stuff started happening. "MALVIN!" he cried, as Alice...charged...the thugs. In a formal gown. With a dagger. And he wasn't even CONSIDERING what effect addressing an aristocrat, in that tone, strictly by her last name would produce, if anything, in a room FULL of aristocrats. For his part, Didymus knew that this was no time to hesitate; even if blind, those men were firing and he had given fair warning... He raised his weapon and opened fire, aiming to try taking the group down in a single clip! ...however, Alice's charge was hindering his ability to do that...he wasn't sure to be angry or thankful she was blocking part of his line of fire. After he fired off as much as he could, he charged as well, trying to bring his weapon around on the other thugs, but also...trying to catch Alice. He had already stated, as part of his newest military assignment, he was to guard Section Three proper with his own life and those of his men. He had no intent of failing that mission. |

-Airship- An ice shard shot from the shadows, stabbing one of the would be kidnappers in the arm, forcing them to drop his gun. Another shard embedded itself in his other arm, then two more in his legs, the man falling down. Walter frowned, clenching his fists, the ice shards melting now, swirling up and joining together, held over the man. He didn't kill him though. At least one should be left for questioning. Ethan moved as well, appearing behind one of the men before they could react. He took the gun from his hand, molding it like one would play-doh, and tossing it to the side. Ethan grinned, then promptly kicked the man's knee, bending it and shattering the leg. “I really don't want to have to get blood on my nice suit,” Ethan said, “I still like to save my money, you know.” Finally, Samuel moved when Alice and Didymus did, simply charging forward, drawing no weapons as he bum rushed one of the bums, knocking him down. A shot grazed Samuel's shoulder, embedding itself in the ceiling. It didn't slow Samuel down as he knocked the man out. Aiden nodded to Riley, grinning. Aiden's dress was rather run of the mill. It was poofy, but it lacked sleeves. Aiden tended to channel her fire through her arms and hands, and having sleeves tended to make them catch on fire. Of course, she had a few tools tucked away. “Ummm, right...” Hammah said. He paused, turning around and making sure he looked feminine enough that he wouldn't attract too much attention. “Do I really look like a girl?” Hammah asked Colette as they headed to the door. Though, at least he didn't turn into one, like his 'dad' from another dimension. He resolved to get a haircut A.S.A.P. as it was. Engineering Room Steam hissed from the pipes, and one of the guards would suddenly be engulfed by steam, screaming in pain as the heat forced him to stumble forward, his skin now red like a lobster doctor. The steam then cooled rapidly, ice shards dangling in the air. “I have a brother and a sister back home who depend on me...” a voice from the pipes said, “So I'm not going to mess around...Release the engineers, and stand down...” Jimi was not amused. Galv approached the door to the engineering room, still holding Melanie's hand. Then he heard the scream of the man being hit with steam. “...Errrr...That...can't be good...” |

[Airship] [Ballroom] The fight was fierce. Bullets flew, at least one dagger slashed, and people had used their powers. The bandits were quickly overrun and defeated. There were but eight of them, and they all fell to the bullets, and the stabbing. When it was done, four of the men were dead, and the other four were on the ground, bleeding and broken and having surrendered. The leader gasped and sat back, clutching his bleeding shoulder. “D-Damn it... how did we lose?” “Because you overestimated us.” Alice frowned. “Get these jerks in handcuffs! And send someone down to the engineering room to check on their claims.” [Engineering Room] One of the men was burned by steam and fell back in pain, clutching his face. “You better stand down buddy, or we're just going to blow this whole ship up!” One of the men growled, clutching a bunch of dynamite in his hand. |

Airship Didymus paused, retraining one of the attackers as other guards approached with handcuffs. "Lieutenant...once these people are restrained...should we go down there...? I don't want to place you or Samuel in unnecessary danger, and do you think any of the local bodyguards are going...?" The attackers were handcuffed. |

Airship: Ballroom The flash of light and the ringing of bullets was enough to disorient Kanna for a few moments, the woman especially sensitive to light. She let out a little growl and rubbed her eyes, ready to shove a gun in the mouth of the nearest bandit, but instead caught a glimpse of two men fighting. Rica and Ethan of course! Though it wasn't in some slow motion dreamy romantic vision...But she was impressed. Suddenly the woman stumbled back as something burned into her right arm. She looked down and noticed that it was in fact bleeding and she suposed she had been shot..... "%#!@$" Kanna cursed, clutching the spot and now dead set on shooting some SOBs. Meanwhile Jason had also been caught up in the commotion and was trying to find Kanna.....Naturally he followed the sound of her cursing.... [...] Colette giggled, as they left the room and headed toward where the party was possibly going on "No! You look like a boy big brother! A really pretty one!" Of course she had no clue that would probably just kill her big brother's brain....Luckily he wouldn't have to think about it too hard as Colette stopped. There were several loud bangs coming from nearby. "What's that sound?" she asked [...] Crystal stumbled around, trying to find Sama and not get shot at the same time. Everyone seemed in a massive panic so it was very hard. "Sama! Mr. Stark!" She yelled out, noticing the other waitresses rushing back towards the kitchen. Airship:Engineering Room When the voice screamed Melanie instinctively tightened her grip on Galv's hand and jumped a bit. "We have to help!" She said, blindly heading into the situation. |

Airship Grand Ballroom Fork said, "Yes, of course, mother." But Spoony stayed by Sophie's side and said, "Well... I want to help. I can't just abandon everyone. That seems a bit... selfish to me! I'm sure Sophie and I can take care of these guys!" Spoony was definitely the apple that fell from the tree. It was doubtful that his family approved of his behavior or way of thinking. |

[Airship Ballroom] “YES WE SHOULD GET DOWN THERE!” Alice cried back, as if the very question was an insane one. “We're soldiers! There's no such thing as unnecessary danger, not when the other alternative is to let civilians do the job!” “Are you alright, Miss. Narroh?” Stark approached Kanna and noticed the blood on her arm. “I can find a medic, I'm sure.” Sama had somehow gotten punch in his hair, and he had a bullet hole in his tuxedo – though only the coattails. He had not been shot. He frowned a bit, but then he spotted Crystal. “There you are! Are you okay?” He ran towards her. Rica dusted his hands off and sighed, and looked to Ethan. “Well, we managed to get this done... I wonder if the party is canceled?” However, as it seemed to be over, the head of the bandits stood up, pushing away from Didymus and Samuel. “Listen pals, this ain't over! We have an ace up our sleeves, you jackasses!” Alice rounded on the man, but suddenly he pressed the button on an odd control panel. One that seemed too advanced for some low level thief to have. As he pressed the button, a scream came out from the hall! Two more men ran into the room, one of them holding a gun to the head of Tron Bonne. The other was aiming at the crowd. But behind them, something else was moving... |

-Airship- Ballroom “I can check,” Samuel volunteered, “I did pick up a bit of engineering in the past...” It was hard not to, since both his deceased wife had been one, along with Galv following in her footsteps. Plus, if there was a bomb, perhaps he could muffle it with his own body. He didn't mention that to Didymus or Alice, of course. Ethan paused, looking up at the sound of cursing. Had they missed one? No, it was just Kanna, cursing. He was about to respond to Rica, and say 'Dibs' but Tony was already there, tending to her wounds, so he didn't. “I hope not. It finally got interesting,” Ethan sighed, shaking his head. Then two more men appeared, and he actually grinned. “Ohhh, look, more,” Ethan pointed out. As the other two men appeared, Gallic stepped forward suddenly. “Now, now,” Gallic said, accessing his subtle power of Persuasion, “You've seen what has happened to the others. They were all taken down, no fatalities on our side. If you continue this, you'll be killed as well. Just lay your guns down...” “A really pretty boy?” Hammah said, sighing. “Could be worse, I guess...” Hammah then paused, hearing the gun shots, then general murmur of victory. Curious, he glanced to Colette, then stepped through the door, hoping they wouldn't attract attention. Of course, then the other men appeared, and Hammah paled. “...Great,” Hammah sighed, and stood in front of Colette to protect her. Engineering Room “Blow the ship up? You're insane...you'd be killed too,” Jimi said, “Not to mention that could happen if it crashes...What if it hits the slums, hmmmm?” Galv grinned. This girl was cute AND brave. Now if only she had an interest in engineering, and nothing would stop him. “Wait!” he said, grabbing her shoulder, “Do you have a power? Or a weapon?” |

Airship-ballroom Didymus recoiled at Alice's shouting. Yeesh...crazy girl. Didymus aimed his gun at the newcomers. "I don't profess to be an expert on the art of courtship..." he said. "...but I would GUESS that a the quickest way to a lady's heart doesn't involve pointing a gun at her. It IS, however, the quickest way to get her, perhaps, and yourselves killed. If she dies, you gentlemen will be out of bargaining chips, and there will be nothing to stop us from firing. If you shoot one of us, the rest may open fire anyway. Even if you kill some of us, or a lot, you won't kill us all. And those left will kill you-as you can see, I'm not the only one who's armed here...so please, let the girl go and lay down your weapons, before people BESIDES your buddies here get hurt." "And Malvin...something else is going on, watch out." He trusted that if the "ringleader" had gotten away, Samuel, Alice, or someone would take care of it. He kept his weapon fixed on the newcomers, trying to line up a shot past Tron Bonne... |

[Airship] [Ballroom] “More is always fun.” Rica grinned, though he, like Ethan, had caught sight of Kanna. Being far more of a leach than Ethan, he was ogling her like a schoolboy, until the new arrivals were pointed out. […] Alice nodded to Samuel. “Go to the engineering room, then! But be careful, there could be more of them! I don't want you getting hurt.” […] One of the men stared at Gallic for a moment and shifted uncomfortably. It was as if he was entranced by the man, and he actually started to put down his weapon. The one holding Tron, however, frowned and seemed unconvinced. He did, however, look confused and conflicted. As Didymus made his statements, the second man started to release his grip on Tron. She was able to get her mouth free, and give a warning. “Be careful! They have an automaton! A really dangerous one!” [Engineering Room] The bandit in the engineering room gave a smirk to Jimi. “If it hits the slums? Then with all the blown up bits of aristocrats on the ground, maybe the bigwigs in town will finally pay attention.” He grinned rather manically. “Besides... we have our orders. We blow up this ship, and finally we get what we deserve...” He frowned. “I have kids! They were born in the slums, they spend every day in filth and trash, and without a good life! I tried working hard, but I couldn't make it better... so this will have to do...” |

Airship-ballroom “Go to the engineering room, then! But be careful, there could be more of them! I don't want you getting hurt.” "Shouldn't we try to stick together, then? Make no mistake, I agree, we should probably get to the engine room ASAP, but...splitting up may only cause problems, besides..." “Be careful! They have an automaton! A really dangerous one!” "...shoot...as you can see, problems here aren't exactly resolved, either..." He turned to the thugs again. "Ah, I see you're starting to relax your grip and lower your weapons, thank you. Please, release the girl completely and put your weapons down all the way, again, we don't want any more casualties today, and as it stands, if you gentlemen cooperate with us, you can probably get off relatively mildly..." Still holding his weapon up, still hoping and praying that he could talk these men down... |
