Hawkins' House

"Blue....Fairy?" Samara mumbled scooting in closer to get a closer look at the book. The little girl wasn't real, thus she couldn't read (she had no need to after all) but she did seem interested in the pictures. Samara pointed at one of the pictures, a beautiful blonde woman in front of a little wooden boy."Is that her?" she asked, closing her eyes and concentrating....A moment later her body changed once more, her long black hair moving to tight blonde curls and a large blue dress covering her. She sat there, staring at him.

"Like this?"

Yacht

Kanna gave a little sigh of relief when Rica appeared. While the man's style annoyed her she appreciated the help...Hopefully he'd get shot instead of her.

“Shall I sink it?”

"Yea-"

“I don't think you will...”

Kanna stiffened, as Walter moved in, instantly attacking them with water...Great, it was going to be a water on water fight....She would just have to shoot.

"Get him in one place and i'll shoot him in the head!" Kanna yelled.

Opera House

"T-Thanks!" Crystal said happily "I'll make sure to give back to you if we survive all of this" she joked, heading back into the crowd. She hated to take it and run but she had no clue how much time they all had. If rumors were true this place would be up in smoke veeeeerrrryyy soon.

Diner

"Don't worry, one day you'll appreciate the boredom. People tend to wish for the mundane between terrorist attacks and shoot outs" Adrianna said with a slight grin. She wouldn't admit it but she appreciated that 'pretty' remark....Especially after being shot down in such a way just an hour ago...


Inside

"You're right, we need to take this seriously..." Laila said, turning serious for a moment. "Something very bad could happen soon. We should nip this in the butt"

Outside Musashi's Safehouse

Violet was watching this conversation unfold with increasing fascination. She handed Didymus a note, at last.

"It concerns me, sir, to see your authority undermined. And it would not please me to see your hard work credited to someone else..or worse, the mission failing because someone else was ahead of us. I may only be a note keeper..but I think there's a lot I can learn from you."

Then Snake showed up. His speaking sparked great interest in the young woman and her note reflected this.

"Mr. Snake's right! Control the man who controls people. It's like a really good novel I enjoyed reading awhile back."

Opera House

Edgeworth merely smirked. "A defense attorney..I heard you got a job at Mr. Gavin's firm. How is he? And how is Larry? I haven't seen him either.." Of course, he was referring to the (mostly) great fourth grade the three spent together. Edgeworth let this bit of emotion pass, however, and he became slightly cold again.

Edgeworth now crossed his arms and tapped his foot. "Perhaps you know I'm a Prosecutor now. I'll show you my own badge."

Posted Image

"Perhaps we'll meet in court one day, Wright." This alone would strike fear in any rookie. Edgeworth himself had always managed to get a guilty verdict.

"Until that day, what brings you here?"

I can't see what you're imagining
-Hawkins' House-

“I guess so...” Blake said, looking over at Samara who had changed form, “But you can't just become the Blue Fairy. You have to find her. Or she'll find you.”

Blake smiled a little, “I bet if we do lots of good deeds, she'll show up and you can become a real girl. Wouldn't you like that...?”

Blake's horribly optimistic.

-Yacht-

Walter flexed his hands, focusing as Rica sent the ice at him. Steam billowed around him, melting the ice before it could get through. He twisted on the deck of the ship, feeling the water around him.

“You have more experience...” Walter said simply, “But I had a teacher.”

Walter slapped his hands down to the ground, sending a burst of ice at Rica in very small shards as he charged!

-Outside Musashi's Safe House-

“If you ask me, I think it's good he's not a military mind,” Jenny spoke up, “Why do we want him on our side? Not because of any military genius, but because people like him. He's influential. He's the kind of person who can help turn the Japanese over on our side and against Germany and the others when they finally try something. It's a culture difference too.

“The Japanese believe their Emperor is divinity on Earth. If Musashi was just going to blindly take orders from a foreign power then the Japanese public wouldn't see him like that. They'd see him as a failure, unfit to take the throne. Now if they saw him as a leader, being in charge of others, including the foreigners, then that enhances his reputation. Sure, we might be able to defeat them militarily, but then what? We occupy Japan and just fester things to another war? Trust me, I'm British, we've seen that happen before,” Jenny concluded.

"Find her?" Samara said with a small frown, closing her eyes and transforming back into a little girl.

“I bet if we do lots of good deeds, she'll show up and you can become a real girl. Wouldn't you like that...?”

"I don't think i'm supposed to be good..." Samara said with a small frown. "I'm supposed to protect you...And to do that i'm supposed to hurt people...I don't think the fairy would like me very much. She'd be scared of what I do"

Rica smirked as Walter came charging, sending several small bursts of ice at him. Rica ignored the ice – he could heal from those injuries – and instead he focused on Walter himself.

They were out on the Hudson River, and both had a major advantage with the bay around them. Rica, however, had a much darker plan. He had learned not to take chances like this when he had to fight Nanami.

So instead, Rica focused on Walter’s blood. He tried to lock up Walter’s legs by taking control of his blood!

[Inside Musashi’s Safehouse]

Musashi nodded. He fully agreed with Laila… they were in the middle of a serious situation, and it could only get worse if they did nothing.

“I suppose we should go downstairs and talk to those government guys. Figure out what we’re going to do from here… I get the feeling that the hard part is only just beginning.”

Because sneaking across the world, fighting terrorists and getting a face-to-face with FDR was the easy part.

[Outside Musashi’s Safehouse]

“You’re both right.” Snake said, looking from Jenny to Didymus. “The Prince might be very useful in winning over the Japanese public, and possibly undermining the Emperor’s war effort… but having an unpredictable team raises a lot of possibilities for things to go wrong during a mission.”

Ever since the Great War ended, and Snake had left the Cobra Unit, he had preferred to work alone.

“Still, complaining doesn’t get us anywhere. Part of military professionalism is being able to get the job done DESPITE whatever complications arise. I don’t care if we get stuck babysitting a bunch of kindergartners, or if the enemy has a giant monster under their control, we’re going to get the job done.”

Snake shook his head. “Now, unless anyone has any objections, I suggest we get in this building and figure out our next move. If we’re going to have any success, we’ll all need to be on the same page.”

[Opera House]

Phoenix could only groan when Edgeworth mentioned their mutual acquaintance Larry Butz.

“Larry’s trying to join the marines. He thinks the uniform will help him meet women.” Wright informed Edgeworth, shuddering at the prospect of Larry being allowed to do anything more important than mail a letter.

He paused, as Edgeworth showed his own badge. Wright was unafraid.

“I’m here because Mr. Gavin told me to come… well, that and Maya got a job working this party. Oh… you haven’t met Maya yet, have you? She’s Mia’s sister…”

[…]

Maya could only tilt her head as Crystal ran off, wondering what she meant by ‘if we all survive this.’

Sama, meanwhile, disguised as a waiter, rushed over to Crystal.

“I think I saw some suspicious stuff… there’s definitely some weird people lurking around.” Sama whispered.

[Diner]

Oliver could only shake his head.

“Well, I can’t say I’ve been in many shoot outs… but I can’t imagine enjoying the mundane. I’ve always detested it.” Oliver admitted. “Then again, I can hardly stand being on the ground… so I suppose I’m not exactly normal.”

Didymus raised an eyebrow at Jenny's comments.

"MAYBE he can be used as a propaganda figure. But in the long run, the Japanese people's loyalty is to their emperor and their own nation-one prince among others going against that isn't going to change the course of their nation."


He sighed at Snake's words.

"Yeah, that is a part of military professionalism. Still, this entire situation just doesn't sit well with me. Probably never will. Again, at least for the moment I'm SUPPOSED to be in charge of this, but it really feels like my own mission's been co-opted by one of the people I was supposed to be investigating..."

He shook his head.

"As for heading in, he'll come find us when he needs us-we're just right outside. My current orders are to call up my chain of command when our special guest is ready, and he probably wouldn't appreciate us killing the mood in there for him."

“You can be good and protect me and others at the same time,” Blake said, “Like a superhero! Though we're both kind of young for that...”

He smiled at Samara though, then leaned forward and pulled her into a hug. She looked like she needed one, “Dad says our abilities aren't something that make us better. It's how we use them...”

-Yacht-

Walter could feel Rica reaching forward, then smirked, twisting around and kicking off with his legs, moving himself to the side and away from Rica.

“Do you really think you can control my blood?” Walter asked with a scowl, “Such a barbaric tactic.”

He held up his hand, glancing towards Kanna, “I could always control Kanna here...But I don't intend to stoop to your level.”

Rica, the Nazi just said he was better then you.

Instead he focused, pulling up water from the bay, and brought it crashing down towards Kanna, intending to force Rica to protect her!

-Outside Musashi's Safe House-

“Agreed, let's get inside,” Jenny nodded, heading inside with the others...

[Yacht]

Rica twisted around and threw up his arms, sending a blast of water from out of the harbor and smashing into the water that Walter was manipulating. Rica froze his wave to stop Walter’s.

He turned back towards Walter and fired a couple shots from his pistol!

Unfortunately…

There was a loud bang! Red Skull had previously been blasted into the below deck, but now he was back! He had just punched through the deck and jumped back up.

“Oh great.” Rica groaned. “Well, I’ve fought Ethan before, this shouldn’t be too different…”

[Musashi’s Safehouse]

[Outside]

“It doesn’t have to sit well with you.” Snake pointed out. “The idea of fighting another war in Germany doesn’t sit well with me… but we do what we called on to do. It doesn’t matter how much we dislike it, or how much we hate our situation… we get the job done. That’s what we do.”

[Inside]

Musashi gave Laila one last kiss, and then he headed down the stairs and opened the front door, poking his head out.

“Hey… you guys have some free time? I think we have a lot of stuff to go over, don’t we?”

Didymus grinned at Snake's words.

"Hey, come on. I didn't say I wasn't going to do it. I just said I didn't like it." he chuckled.

"It's part of that military professionalism I've spoken of that involves carrying out our orders even when we hate it. But at you point out, that professionalism does in fact allow us to hate our orders as long as we make sure they get done."

He chuckled again.

"And if you're not comfortable about fighting another war against Germany, Snake, why don't you ask them to send you to help us beat Japan when things finally heat up? That's where most of us Marines will be, anyway...I'm sure the sun-drenched and possibly mosquito-ridden theaters of the Pacific will be a considerable change of pace from the shell-shocked but often lush fields of Europe..."

“Hey… you guys have some free time? I think we have a lot of stuff to go over, don’t we?”

Like a faucet, professionalism was turned on. Didymus' sarcastic smirk was wiped off, and his face simply became earnest.

"I'm under orders to give you the time you need now. As it stands, I'd need to make a call to determine my next course of action, but if there's anything you need to say, please continue."

Hawkins' House

Samara blinked, having been pulled into a hug by Blake. Strangely enough when she was in her human form the boy was a lot warmer. Even though she wasn't even real it felt....Nice.

Samara was starting to wonder if there really was a Blue Fairy....

Yacht

Kanna was smart enough to know to stay behind Rica when the blast of water came at them, the man controlling it with ease. Kanna gave a breath, but didn't have much time to relax as Red Skull appeared again. The woman frowned, pulling her gun and mumbling to Rica. "Finish the blonde guy, i'll get to work on Red Skull" she said, rushing off once more.

"Sorry about the double-cross dear!" Kanna exclaimed, shooting several rounds at her former boss.

Musashi’s Safehouse

Laila smiled at the kiss, following her boyfriend out of the room. She leaned on the doorframe.

"I know it's not my place to say, but shouldn't we not be waiting too long? I mean what are we accomplishing sitting around an old house?"

Diner

"Well we certainly have that in common...Well, not the flying thing but the mundane..." Adrianna said with a slight smile.

Opera House

"Weird as in rich creepers or weird as in nazi terrorists?" Crystal joked as she pulled Sama to the side. "Anyways I think I may have something that'll help up fight!"

The two made it to a empty room, Crystal pulling out the strange stone. "I got it from a maid with a cheeseburger!"

Red Skull narrowed his eyes at Kanna as she started shooting at him. He dodged the bullets with amazing speed and reflexes.

“You have made your final mistake, Narroh! I will kill you, but not before I kill your children in front of your eyes!” Red Skull roared. He whipped a pistol out from his belt and fired at Kanna!

[Musashi’s Safehouse]

“We’re not accomplishing anything sitting here.” Musashi shook his head. “As for what we do next, I think it’s pretty obvious. We need to contact the remaining members of the New York Combat Revue, and then see if we can get in touch with the other Sakura Teams around the world.”

He paused. “We also need to recover the New York team’s machines.”

[Opera House]

Sama blinked, looking at the magatama in Crystal’s hand. “That’s going to help us find the Nazis? How?”

Sama had seen enough supernatural things that he believed in them, but he was by no means an expert and didn’t know how things like this often worked.

Kanna narrowed her eyes, trying to get a clearer shot on Red Skull. "You won't get the chance!" she exclaimed, suddenly finding herself being shot at. The woman dived behind some old crates, knowing she was not invincible like certain other people fighting. She only popped her head out to try and get another few shots in.

"Dammit, defense isn't my thing" Kanna muttered, wondering what else she could do....Well there was always one thing.....Get him in the water.

"Catch me if you can!" Kanna exclaimed, knocking off her heels and running towards him (while trying not to get shot in the head). She then raised her hands, blasting the man back with her dark powers!

Opera House

"A maid...With a cheeseburger...Told me that this thing could be used to find suspicious people...Though now that I think about it I probably should have asked her more about it..." Crystal said with a frown, assuming Sama now thought she was crazy or something. "I think she called it a Magna-something...She said to squeeze it while people are talking."

Which means it's time to mingle with some Nazis....

Red Skull was blasted by Kanna’s dark powers, and his arm was suddenly nearly frozen by the chill. His arm fell to his side, and although he was in pain; he didn’t stop, as he ran forward towards Kanna.

“You dare betray me? I am the future! I am beyond a man! I am more than mankind shall ever be!” Red Skull yelled, and he tried to shoot at Kanna again!

[Opera House]

Sama blinked, raising an eyebrow.

“A maid with a cheeseburger? Well… okay. I’ve had crazier sources over the years. Let’s see if we can mingle!”

As it so happened, the woman in green from earlier was standing not too far away…

[Diner]

Oliver smiled to Adrianna. “Well, maybe we can both have a bit more excitement then. Perhaps… I can take you up in my plane sometime?”

Didymus listened as Musashi spoke, but simply himself replied:

"You seem to be ready. I will pass your desires on up the chain, but I now can make a phone call to receive instructions."

When he was directed to a phone, he dialed, spoke some phrases, and the other people, if they had followed him, may have been able to hear

"Sir, Lieutenant Didymus...aye, sir. For...a different team, sir? This time one reporting directly to one of Japan's war heroes, sir?...aye, sir. It's..."

A pause.

"...as am am ordered, sir. I'm afraid we've picked up a lot of new...aides...to the prince...I cannot guarantee the professionalism of this unit...and I have my concerns about its loyalty...he suggests contacting his old unit and recovering their original machines...I shall do what I can, of course. Aye sir, I'll speak with you in Paris."

When he returned to the others, he spoke.

"I have been asked to encourage you to come to Paris. There's another Sakura Team there that reported to a captain now quite the rising star in Japan's navy...they are next on our list..." he said.

"As for your old team, the debate still rages on what to do with them. But I have been told to assure you the administration wishes to be most cooperative with whatever your desires as to their service may be."

He delivered that all, again, professionally, doing his best not to betray his own opinions.

[Musashi’s Safehouse]

Musashi was more lax than Didymus, but he had an air of professionalism as well. Musashi knew that right now he needed to be on his game. He might have gotten approval from President Roosevelt, but he knew he was on a tight leash and any mistake could change things very quickly.

“Paris, eh? I’ve never been. Sounds like a plan. Let’s see if we can’t convince them to see things our way. From what I hear, the French are no fans of their German neighbors, so maybe we’ll have an advantage there.”

He paused when Didymus mentioned the old team. “I don’t expect your Government to want to reestablish the Sakura Team this quickly. Hopefully if we’re successful, they’ll put us to use.”
