-Gallic Enterprises-

Samuel grinned as Sire charged them to the window, Samuel grabbing Sire's arms.

“Come on now, I've fallen farther then this,” Samuel said, kicking his own legs to help them move, smashing his back through the glass and pulling Sire with them, plummeting towards the pavement!

“Ever fallen this high before?” Samuel asked nonchalantly, like he routinely carried on conversations while falling from several stories up, “Trick is not to think too much about it. Gotta remain calm. Otherwise you'll get too much adrenaline in your system and crash...in more ways then one.”

-Streets-

“I'm fine,” Sage said, looking over to Joyce, “Are you okay? How's your shoulder, does it hurt?”

He looked fretful over the girl.

-Roosevelt Mansion-

“No. You can discuss it out here, where I can hear you,” Aaron said from the couch. He was much too tired to really argue though, and would probably just flop at them if they did head into the other room anyways.

As Sire and Samuel fell, Sire growled out in frustration and tried to stab Samuel’s eyes.

“Just shut the hell up!” Sire roared.

Feel free to have them crash into something heavy!

[Roosevelt Mansion]

Musashi sighed and looked over to Aaron.

“… Look, I know you’re just trying to be a good brother, but this is something between the three of us, and you’ll only make things more complicated.”

(Looks like I have internet access after all. But PM me or facebook message me to bring up issues in chat or what have you that would ordinarily be discussed on Skype until further notice, please...)

Roosevelt Mansion

Didymus had heard the exchange, and now he was attempting to gather up his team, his mind pulling in two different directions.

This is good...we can keep a close eye on him, and if he's traitor...to us, that is...we can off him. His presence, if he sticks with us, will make the mission infinately easier, the various young women will have a much, MUCH easier time talking to him than to me or any one of the rest of us...

...and that's why you don't like it, isn't it? This will only bring your personal whinings to a head. How anything remotely female gives him her full attention. He's the adorable, exotic, nice guy prince, whereas YOU are the insensitive, clumsy, hard-hearted soldier-saint...


He shook his head.

This WILL bring your personal issues to a head, in a way...but it will also allow you to avoid the team members themselves and the scorn they would show to you...so in another manner, it will make ignoring THAT aspect...easier. Right? Besides, you were selected BECAUSE of those personal traits that would make you so immune to defecting...how tied to this they are. But you MUST think like an officer. This benefits the unit and the mission, this is therefore a good thing.

Still...this is kind of customary for your life now, isn't it? Victory, but only when it bears personal pain or a reminder thereof. Step in to drive a demon from claiming a sorceress girl, and I get to have it parade my flaws, temptations, and saddness before me. But stopped it. Now, do my duty to God and country and show the president our defector...and now this mission will become something of a series of speed dates for him...

He sighed again, deeply, but he had made sure no one was looking before doing so.

Then, he began looking for Snake and Jenny, so as to gather up the team...

Nanami 'loosening up', was still quite cruel and cold. At least, that's about how Marco felt about now, after trying to express condolences and apologies over her situation.

"You know..." Marco sighed, "I probably should have just hugged you again when I said that, so I could have gotten a knee to the groin instead..."

He then sighed again, and then laid back, on the sofa he had sat back down on earlier.

(Oooh, very cool Vidit!)

[Roosevelt Mansion]

[Upstairs]

Snake walked over to Didymus. The older man looked as if he was deep in thought about everything that had happened tonight.

“Interesting times we live in. Unfortunately, I think the real show is before us.” Snake said as he took out a cigar and lit it. Shaking his head, he leaned against the wall at the top of the staircase.

[Den]

Nanami paused for a moment and cast a glance over at Marco. It seemed like she had come across as much crueler than she intended to with her reaction. There was something in his sigh that made her regret what she had said before.

Now it was her turn to sigh. While normally Nanami’s mind could handle multiple things at once, there was one issue that always seemed to halt the whole process.

Her father.

Whenever she allowed him into her head, it tended to complicate everything else in a way that only family could. There was a lot she could have said… and she supposed she could have tried to explain that to Marco, but that would mean thinking about her father for even longer.

With a sigh of her own, Nanami leaned down and hugged Marco. “Sorry… that time I wasn’t trying to hurt you.”

Didymus chuckled, grimly, something he noted he did perhaps too often, as Snake spoke.

"Heh, of course it is. This is only the beginning. The war hasn't even officially begun yet, after all, not concerning the busniess in Europe and Asia, not with us, at least..." he said.

"...so, where's Jenny? I think I may know our next destination, one of two at least, but...we need to rally the team. I suppose that includes our defector now, too...of course, this probably means his...admirers...will want to come with also. And frankly, there's, let's see, counting his former team mates...we have...at least six of them, now. Maybe seven, depending on whether or not the little bounty-hunting girl shows up..."

He paused.

"Tell me, Snake, have you ever had your pain paraded before you? Not just a flashback to a tramautic moment or guilt over a life you took or failed to save, but...pain from sacrifice, actively paraded before you? Pressed...onto your mind? I..."

He sighed.

"...I owe an explanation for that question, don't I?" he chuckled again.

The last thing Marco would have expected would have been a hug. Even with her saying that stabbing/killing him would have defeated the purpose of her saving him and using those almost-magical plant leaves on him, he would have expected that before her hugging him.

...well, Nanami making out with him would have been less expected, but if that happened then he'd be aware that he was hallucinating or just dreaming in his sleep.

He felt his face turning slightly red, and had to hold his mouth shut for a moment, to avoid saying something that'd definitely lead to the knee he was worried about previously. It wasn't the time for a comment like that.

"...Don't worry about it..." Marco then replied to Nanami's comment, "...and we'll be able to deal with your dad, one way or another."

Gallic Enterprises

Jade stumbled back, caught off guard when Lily appeared once again, throwing a slash of telekinesis at her. She instantly turned around, the look on her face becoming more and more demented. Jade raised her own hands once more and suddenly the walls started trembling.....

Then a blast of water from the pipes came through, destroying the walls!

From her spot Crystal stumbled next to Sama, grabbing him and raising her own hands. Instantly she formed a sort of giant bubble around them as the water blasted.

Yeah, Crystal can waterbed in this universe too.

Car

"I think it's okay" Joyce said, shimming out of her sling and poking her arm where the old bullet wound was. She winced a bit, but it wasn't unbearable. "It's much better than it was" she added, leaning against Sage.

Roosevelt Mansion

"Musashi is right, we should probably go to another room..." Laila said, turning for the hallway "Because it's not murder if there are no witnesses"

Says who Laila?

Adrianna just groaned and shook her head, heading out to the hallway as well.

Samuel just get hold of Sire, grinning as they fell.

There was a crash of metal, the two hitting a car park outside, crashing through the metal.

“Hey, buddy, you still awake?” Samuel asked, slapping Sire on the cheek.



Back inside, Jade sent water flying into the hallway. Crystal made a bubble around herself and Sama...

Lily laughed.

“Bad idea, b****,” Lily growled, her body sparking with electricity, coursing through the water, attempting to get at Jade!

-Roosevelt Mansion-

Aaron sighed, resting his head back.

“Fine...just...eh...” Aaron said. He knew no matter what he said it wouldn't change things.



“I'm here sir,” Jenny said to Didymus, walking into the room and washing her hands on some cloth, “I was tending to some wounded.”

[Downstairs]

Snake shook his head.

“First things first, before the defector can help us, he’ll have to be debriefed by the War Department. I’ll make some calls and set something up.”

Snake was ready to go and do that when Didymus asked him that question. A rather dark look crossed Snake’s face.

“… You have no idea. You’ve heard of the ‘Hundred Days Offensive’, I’m sure. It was the final offensive campaign against Germany during the Great War. Most people talk about it with a sense of awe… but for me it’s just a painful reminder of my failure.”

He shook his head. “The Cobra Unit was tasked with a lot of espionage. We’d use stolen German uniforms and vehicles to go behind enemy lines. One mission, about two weeks before the Hundred Days Offensive began… we had located a meeting place where several member of the German High Command were meeting in secret. Our job was to take them out. If we had succeeded, the war could have ended a lot sooner and with a lot less bloodshed.”

“… Instead, we screwed up. I had a chance to end the Great War and instead I just got two bullets in the stomach. And yet, every day people praise me as a ‘War Hero’. Heh… I’m just a screw up who history has looked kindly on so far.”

[Sideroom]

Musashi led the two sisters into a side room and closed the door. He gulped, and then turned to look at them.

“Um… okay… so… uhh… I guess we should talk about… you know… the stuff…”

He suddenly became less smooth and very, very nervous.

Then he sighed, dropping his arms at his side.

“I’m sorry.” Musashi frowned. “I don’t know if that even means anything at this point, but… I never intended for any of this to happen. I… I’m impulsive and I don’t think… and… well, I treated you both very unfairly. I didn’t mean to! I just… well, I made a horrible mistake.”

Musashi ran his hand through his hair.

“I never meant to hurt either of you, though…”

Mako, take note, THIS is how you tell this story THE RIGHT WAY.

[Den]

Nanami sat back, but did not shy away from looking at Marco. If she could handle getting stabbed in the chest by Rica, she could handle a few awkward moments like this.

Though now that she thought about it… she was sitting in a nicely furnished den next to a roaring fireplace (and a stuffed bear that Teddy killed) and she realized this whole thing seemed very romantic.

And she groaned in annoyance. Though even more important than correcting the possible implications of this moment was correcting Marco’s latest statement.

We’ll? No. Listen, I appreciate your help today with keeping the royal idiot alive, and I appreciate you saving my life as well… but my father is my problem. I will deal with it on my own. It’s not something I should have even TOLD you about, so just forget about it.”

Her voice was fairly cold again.

[Gallic Enterprises]

[Inside]

Sama blinked as he was suddenly in a bubble.

“Okay, I have to admit, that’s impressive as heck.” Sama blinked again. This one he could not figure out with all his detective skills, though he did remember Crystal healing his injuries earlier.

[Outside]

Sire groaned, and then he felt Samuel slap his face.

“F*** off you dirty stupid **** **** ****er! Go stuff a **** in your **** and **** a **** with your **** in a **** peanut butter!”

Yeah, Sire’s still okay. Yay?

[Car]

The car pulled into a sketchy alleyway, where Rica had previously taken Kanna to get to his secret lair beneath a building.

“Okay, everybody out!” Rica rushed over and tapped the brick, opening the door to his secret lair.

Rica has a Batcave.

Jade's eyes widened as Lily's hands crackled with lightening. Instantly she snapped her fingers, trying to freeze the ice around her. Yes, she'd be trapped, but at least it would lessen the pain of being shocked.

Hopefully....

On the other hand Crystal gasped, instantly being shocked in her large bubble surrounded by lightening.

Sideroom

"So what....You're not choosing either of us?" Adrianna asked, raising a brow. Laila on the other hand was quiet, leaning against the wall and trying not to show emotion of any sort. "You can't just not choose at all" Adrianna added.

Car

"Hollllyyyy geeeeeezzz" Joyce breathed, staring at the wall that just turned into an entrance...She then turned to Kanna. "Grandma, I think your boyfriend is a super hero"

Kanna just groaned (at Joyce calling her grandma, and to the girl referring to Rica as her boyfriend) "No he's not, he's just a deadbeat with entirely too much money" she said, walking in.

"It is very impressive though" Melanie said, eyes wide as she looked around herself, all the while still carrying Blake. The poor boy was so tired.

Outside

“I've heard worse insults,” Samuel said, “Though half of them were in a language I didn't really know yet so they may not count.”

Samuel pulled himself up out of the car, looking towards it where Sire still lay.

“You still up to fight, kid? Or do you want to go home and get your momma to bandage you up?” Samuel wondered, rotating his arm, then paused, thinking, “Oh, if you're still up to fighting, I think I know what to try on you next.”

Inside

When Lily focused on shocking Jade, her electricity was still getting towards Sama and Crystal. Suddenly the electricity from those two was being pulled away, Galv standing up and focusing. Both he and Lily had control of electricity, but Galv was several degrees better at it and stronger at it then his twin sister.

-Rica's Hideout-

Blake muttered in his mother's arms as they headed into Rica's lair.

Sage, meanwhile, picked Joyce up carefully, despite the girl saying she was feeling better, carrying her inside as well.

-Roosevelt Mansion-

Jenny frowned at Snake's words. She hadn't been there, but she remembered tending to his wounds after the fact...He had been angry, angry at himself for whatever happened...

"Nope."

That was Marco's simple answer to Nanami's 'correction'.

"You forgot what I just said a few moments ago. I am going to help Prince Musashi with his mission here. I will even help those sisters both trying to become his girlfriend, if they want or need my help in something. And I AM going to help you, as well. If you don't want that help, you'll just have to kill me right now. "

Nanami seemed like she was becoming a little nicer over this last discussion, but it seems like she still was going to be stubborn. The only problem there, was that Marco himself was stubborn as well, especially relating to anything involving helping out his friends.

" Just what is a person, if they are in a position to help someone else, and they simply lets things be and don't help? Just what kind of person is that?" Marco then added in, leaning himself back up, so he could look into Nanami's eyes as he spoke. He wanted to make sure she knew he was sincere and truly believed the words he was saying.

"You trusted in me enough to talk about that, so now I'll just have to make it so you trust me in that I can help you, however long that takes."

She may be Nanami, but she probably was not going to win this argument with him.

The electricity was redirected, leaving Crystal and Sama spared and Jade seriously charred. With this sudden unexpected change Jade let out a loud scream and convulsed a bit. When she recovered enough to speak she yelled. "SIRE. We're leaving!"

That was an order. She didn't care that he was currently very busy.

Rica's Hideout

"G-Gah! Sage! I'm fine you know, I didn't hurt my feet!" Joyce exclaimed, face bright red as she clung tightly to Sage so he wouldn't drop her.

Melanie would have aww-ed at that situation, but instead she had turned to Rica. "Rica" (she found herself instinctively wanting to still call him Mister despite her age) "Is there a place I can lay Blake down. Somewhere quiet?"

[Inside]

Sama was relieved when they were saved from being charred like delicious bacon. By now, he had reloaded his gun, but he hadn’t even bothered to use it.

These people could throw lightning and telekinesis around… he doubted that his little revolver was going to be the decider in this fight, and he shuddered.

[Outside]

Sire looked up at Samuel, and then he suddenly jumped up and slashed at Samuel’s neck.

“Shut the hell up! I’ve never met someone I couldn’t kill, and you won’t be any exception!” Sire growled, determined to find some way to cause Samuel pain.

Then he heard Jade’s crazy yell even from out here.

“… Another time, ****-face! My lady’s callin’.”

He turned and ran back inside the building.

[Rica’s Hideout]

Rica coughed a bit at Melanie’s question. The only real bed was the one in the back, and Rica had already tried to get Kanna into that one, so it made the situation a bit squicky.

“Yeah, over there.” Rica pointed and decided not to mention this fact to Melanie.

[Roosevelt Mansion]

[Den]

Now Nanami was annoyed again, and her eyebrow twitched on her head. Marco made a few good points and was being consistent in what he had said earlier… but she really didn’t care.

“Don’t tempt me to kill you, because I might.” Nanami replied, though she had little intention of following through with that threat. She could see he was sincere, and that just pissed her off even more.

“… For right now, we should probably focus on what’s happening here.”

[Sideroom]

Musashi rubbed the back of his neck.

“No… it’s not that… I just want you to understand that I never meant for it to be like this.” Musashi said, still trying to buy some time.

Now technically in his country the Emperor usually had multiple wives, and for a moment Musashi thought about mentioning that fact, but he had a feeling it would just make things much, much worse.

His mind went back to everything. Running around with Laila at Coney Island and that kiss on the roller coaster… the carriage ride with Adrianna, and how they had kissed… he groaned, as he just kept replaying those memories.

He briefly considered telling them he had just decided to become a Monk, and that would mean a vow of celibacy, but he had a feeling they might decide to help keep him celibate by offering to remove certain body parts.

“… Oh come on! This is really bad timing… I just had to choose between my country or the United States… I’m all choiced out for the night.” Musashi said, rubbing his neck.
