-B.o.S. Base- “Not bad,” Edda said to Connor, “You two have made a good friend in Rumi. She'll always be there for you once you've made her your friend.” He paused a little, rubbing the back of his head, then decided to just go on with it, “Uhhh... we wanted to let you know, once this all calms back down... Chloe and I were thinking about... heading off. Exploring some of the world. There hasn't really been much outside of this continent since the Flare. It's... been something of a dream of mine, and Chloe agreed to come with.” -Gallic's Headquarter's- As Nanami used her cold to shield herself and him, Gallic used his telekinesis to do the same, and to try and minimize the blow back they had. He sighed a little, shaking his head as he looked towards Lavan, then towards Horrigan. “I regret you were not willing to join me when I gave you the offer, Rebel,” Gallic said to Lavan, “I still extend the offer to both you and Nanami. I suppose I am still a little optimistic.” He held his sword up, ready to fight Horrigan, when a blast of plasma energy shot at Horrigan from the back! It was Walter, holding up his plasma cannon, firing at Horrigan! |

[BoS Base] Connor smiled to Edda at the news. It was surprising, but it was also wonderful. He nodded to the two of them and gave them a deep grin. “I’m glad to hear it… but I hope you two will come back this way sometime. Once Sarai and I settled down somewhere, it would be great to have you both over.” [Gallic’s Headquarters (or at least the smoldering ruins of them)] “Forget it.” Nanami snapped without ever looking over at Gallic. She flexed her fingers and rotated her shoulder, making sure she was still in one piece after the explosion and being hurled across the ground. “We’re still not done with our fight.” Horrigan stumbled as the plasma burst hit him in the back. The beast grunted, and turned his head to see Walter. He aimed his rifle arm – but when he tried to fire, the gun simply made a loud clicking noise and smoke erupted from the barrel. It had been badly damaged in the explosion and was inoperable. “No matter. The four of you cannot beat what I have become.” Horrigan stated bluntly. He then went charging at Walter, raising his knife and swinging it! [NCR Field Ops Base] President Tandi sat behind her desk, watching a live-feed from the battle raging at the Capitol Building. She had sent in a team of NCR Rangers, who were hiding in a nearby mountain with a camera, and were feeding the video feed directly back to the field ops base. The old woman sighed deeply as she watched. This monster, Frank Horrigan, was truly awful. It was an abomination that posed a serious threat… but in her mind, the greater threat was seeing father and daughter work together. Gallic and Nanami were supposed to destroy one another, not fight as a team. “… I can’t take the risk.” Tandi mumbled under her breathe. “I can’t allow her to forgive him. I can’t risk her sparring Gallic. He’s too dangerous… and I know she’s willing to die for her cause.” She closed her eyes. She knew that Old Man Sensei would never forgive her. “… I owe it to the New California Republic to do everything in my power to insure our future safety. I will not allow everything I’ve built to fall into ruin. Not even for you, old friend…” She picked up the phone on her desk. “This is President Tandi. I’m authorizing the strike on Gallic. Nuke that bastard.” Edited by GoldenSama, Mar 11 2014, 06:32 PM.

[The Capitol] The moment Frank Horrigan went for Walter, Lavan simply VANISHED in a blur of flame, so fast was he moving as he amplified very action he made with the ridiculous overcharge he received. "Oi! Franky! Don't turn your eyes away from the STAR OF THE SHOW!!!" And with an impact that rang like a church bell, Lavan slammed a steel-clad fist into Horrigan's back, expelling heat in a localized explosion. He hoped this would actually do something to the monster, and at least make him pay attention again. But the explosion wasn't fully modulated. As much as Lavan was splitting his concentration, he couldn't fully focus on this trick as well, and was blasted backwards by his own punch, landing on his feet and skidding a foot or two, but otherwise completely unharmed. |

-B.o.S. Base- “Heh, of course we'll visit!” Edda said, “I'm sure once Chloe actually sees what roughing it is like, she'll want to come back to that... hot tub... thing.” The idea of a small heated pool simply for sitting in was still strange for Edda. Seemed like a waste of water. -Gallic's Headquarters- Walter fired a couple more shots before he jumped backwards, dropping a couple plasma grenades as he slid backwards on ice to increase the distance! Gallic prepared to continue fighting, pausing when he heard Claire come over the radio link. “Don!” Claire said. There was fear in her voice, something that Gallic was not use to hearing. Claire was as level headed as her son. “There's a problem... The NCR... they've fired a nuke at us.” Gallic frowned, “You have my authorization to shoot it down with the Cannon. Hit it when it's in the upper atmosphere. Might inconvenience some NCR electronics, but it's their damn fault.” “I can't. That explosion outside fried some of our systems. We can't link to the Cannon from here... We have to go to the actual relay station, where the dish is,” Claire answered, “And you're the only one with the code, and who could get there in time.” Gallic was quiet. The NCR had gone that far... were they really that frightened of him? “Nanami, we have a problem,” Gallic said, “The NCR has fired a nuke... My intelligence people believe it is heading there. I can shoot it down with the Cannon but I have to get to the main relay station... There's still some heavy fighting on the way though, I may need help...” Wheels were turning in Gallic's head. He wouldn't be where he was if he was able to change his plans on the fly. “Douglas and your... ally, can take Horrigan,” Gallic said, “And if you don't believe me, get in contact with that old man. He's got to be keeping an eye on things.” |

[BoS Base] “Good.” Connor said, nodding his head. “You two are wonderful friends… I can’t even count how many times you two saved our lives. I owe you so much…” [Gallic’s Headquarters] Horrigan gave a loud cry as the super-heated punch smashed into his back and a small explosion burnt into the armor. It cracked and blistered, and broke away – revealing a blood-covered green back. The Plasma grenades went off just as Horrigan turned back towards Lavan. They weren’t close enough to actually hit him, but parts of his armor shuddered and turned green from the proximity. “I know who you are. I read Autumn’s reports on you. You couldn’t have stood a chance even when I was human… you truly have no chance now.” Horrigan snarled, and he stabbed at Lavan – lunging to try to impale him! […] “That damn withered crone!” Nanami snarled at the news of the nuclear strike. “I knew she was desperate to protect the NCR, but a nuke?” A nuclear strike wouldn’t just kill them – it would render the entire area plagued with radiation for decades. The prevailing winds would spread the fallout across the entire area… there was no telling how many people would die as a result. When Gallic informed her of the relay station, she hesitated. “Fine. I’ll help, but not for your sake.” |

B.o.S. Base "HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM?" Rumi slid herself over uncomfortably close to Chloe, upon hearing the last bits of conversation since Chloe and Edda made their way over, and looking at the two. "So you two love each other, too, huhhhh? But you also love Connor... and he doesn't think of you quite that way back... Well then!!" Rumi now quickly slid now over to Edda, poking him, messing with his hair, and pulling on the sides of his face, as though she was inspecting him. "I guess you can say this guy is a really good option! He's not great at reading emotions, but he's pretty good at running... Just be careful that he doesn't start talking with ancient swords or something!" Rumi then patted (hard) Edda on the back. "He's a really good guy, though. Very dedicated friend, and can probably figure out the best ways of surviving most anything. He's worth it, probably!" she then winked towards Chloe. "And if you guys need some help while you're out and about, I can help you two, too, if you want! Maybe even set up a fancy field trip with all of us coming along, though I'll be sure to make sure every couple gets their special lovey-dovey alooooooooone time~~!" |

-B.o.S. Base- Edda blushed some as Rumi came over and proceeded to do what she did best, which was be Rumi. “Errr... We'd probably go to some dangerous places... there's no telling what's out there, or what kind of civilizations might have sprung up after the Flare...” Edda said, rubbing the back of his head, “It won't be like camping... We'd probably be gone for a few years at a time, most likely...” He paused as Paul walked up, out of the armor as well, then motioned to him, not really sure how to respond more to Rumi besides bringing in Paul. “Well, if you do get Sarai and Connor, and Chloe and myself alone, I'm sure Paul wouldn't mind some alone time with you,” Edda mentioned. Paul just smirked slightly. -Gallic's Headquarter's- As Horrigan turned to confront Lavan, Walter refilled his ammo, then fired at the open spot in his back! “Right... It's located in the Victor's Village...” Gallic said, “Claire, I'll get to the relay station... We'll stop this.” He turned to Nanami, nodding towards her before he headed off, towards a place once familiar to Nanami... |

[BoS Base] Connor blinked as Rumi proceeded to be Rumi. She was certainly a unique person, but someone he was glad he had met. [Gallic’s Headquarters] The blast of plasma slammed into the exposed skin on Horrigan’s back and he screamed out in pain. The plasma burnt and melted away part of his flesh, causing the creature to roar and spin around. He grabbed a grenade from his belt and threw it at Walter! [Victor’s Village] “Your relay station is here? Typical.” Nanami hated this village more than anyplace else in the entire Enclave. This place was supposed to be her reward for having survived the Hunger Games. Her reward for having killed so many innocent people… now it was just a reminder of all the blood that stained her hands, and of the boy she’d fallen in love with and ultimately been forced to kill. “… Tell me something, Gallic. You’ve tried to convince me several times that you’re not as much of a bastard as I know you are, so explain to me why.” Nanami was still moving, still following him, but she could no longer hold in the question. “I loved him. He was my life… and your damn Enclave took him, brainwashed him and used him to try to kill me… you made me kill the person I loved with all my heart… so why the hell should I ever believe a word you say?” |

-B.o.S. Base- "You do realize that you just mentioned staying away from everyone for years at a time, don't you?" Rumi quickly answered Edda with a sweet smiling face (OF DOOM). "Don't you think being away from all your friends for THAT long is a bit much?" Rumi then patted Edda on the back again. "And I don't think Paul will have as fun watch-ingggggg~!" Rumi stuck her tongue out at Edda, before beginning to laugh hysterically. |

-Gallic's Headquarter's- Walter waved his hand, bringing water around to flash freeze the grenade and send it flying to the side! -Victor's Village- As Gallic and Nanami arrived at the Victor's Village, Gallic was quiet for a long moment. “You keep equating me the Enclave,” Gallic said, “I am not the Enclave. I didn't even found it. I joined it because it was the best thing around at the time... And when I saw them start to become corrupt, I started working up my base to take them down...” He sighed, heading towards a house that would be very, very familiar to Nanami... A large dish was on top of it, pointed towards the sky. “You assign more power to me then I actually had. After Snow, the Enclave didn't really trust someone as President. I was meant to be a figurehead. I took the position because even a figurehead has some power, and I had built up some ties and power of my own. Most of my power was in pulling strings, calling in favors, etc,” Gallic continued as he opened the door. He paused at the entrance, then stepped inside further, moving to the kitchen. “Over the years I accumulated more power that way... Got people to my side because I treated them well, used the power I did have to build more. The Enclave is... or rather was, I suppose, very much an old boy's club. I was an outsider to them. I didn't have a family name through the generations, didn't marry into one. I was useful to them as a fall guy,” Gallic said. He flicked his hands, tearing a piece of wall off with his telekinesis, showing an old control panel there... “When he was taken, when you were in the Games, don't you think I tried? Do you really think I just sat back and let it all happen? I gave you that bow. I tried to get him out, but I didn't have the same clout now. I managed to get that Hawkins boy away from Autumn this time around, but I couldn't save him, your own love...” Gallic went quiet, hanging his head low, “And I couldn't save mine... Neither of us could. And it's something we both have to live with. I hope one day you can find happiness Nanami. I already had my own second chance, and I squandered it.” He put his hand on the control panel, letting it read his biometrics. After a moment the whole room began to change, counters, stovetops, cabinets, moving downwards and out of the way for computers and consoles... “Here... we can stop the nuke now...” -B.o.S. Base- Edda paused a moment, staring at Rumi. “But... don't you want to know?” Edda asked, “Seeing what's beyond the horizon? What you might find beyond the frontier? What kind of civilizations exist? What strange creatures might have shown up? What might have survived?” Edda grinned, “All the old maps that survived are probably near useless! Rivers have shifted, the ocean's probably changed, new islands arrived, old islands gone! I want to see it all, I get to be the first explorer in generations!” Paul knew Edda liked to explore, and was happiest seeing what was around the next corner, provided what was around the next corner wasn't a person or creature meaning to kill him. “I think they'd be more inclined towards couple things if they knew you were otherwise distracted or not watching, personally,” Paul added to Rumi. |

[Victor’s Village] “Don’t give me that figurehead crap.” Nanami growled as she followed him into the home. She recognized the house – it was one she had lived in, a long time ago. She hated being back at this place. There were so many memories associated here… thoughts of her mother… “You can pretend that all of this was someone else’s doing, that it was all out of your hands, but the truth is you could have done something. How many people died in the games? How many people did Autumn have executed? While you wasted time making backroom deals and calling in favors, people were DYING.” She shook her head. “Forget it. We’ll never agree on this. I don’t want your sympathies. I don’t want anything from you.” She couldn’t let go of the past, and of the hatred he inspired in her. As she looked at the room in front of them, Nanami stopped. “How the hell did you set all of this up so quickly?” |

-Victor's Village- “They were not my Games... Please, for all my sins, don't blame me for those Games. I did fight against them when they were proposed, but I was one voice. I wanted them dead for the longest time, but all it would have meant would have been the Enclave taking me out, and then no one would be trying to subvert them in their ranks...” Gallic said quietly, “I could have saved a handful of lives... for the price of thousands more down the line... I don't ask that you understand... just know...” “How the hell did you set all of this up so quickly?” “I didn't. It took years. And the help of your mother,” Gallic said simply as he moved to a console, and typed in a code, letting Nanami see it. A series of numbers, a date Nanami knew but probably never celebrated. The day of her birth. “She knew my past. She knew my plans. She helped me set this up for when I could eventually complete it. She was one of maybe three other people who knew about the Satellite Cannon, excluding myself,” Gallic said, “She didn't tell you about me... We didn't think it would be right, not yet. The... plan was, when you were of age, you would get a job working at my office, and eventually you would find out the truth. But you were selected for the Games, and that threw a wrench... I tried to salvage it when you won. You remember that day, you were brought into my office...” Gallic was not one to cry, but there was... emotion, in usually cold voice now, “I'm almost certain Autumn knew, or at least suspected something... Your mother began to lose her health, and to this day I don't know if she was ill or foul play was involved... But if I acted out in any way, they would suspect... and they would have you killed in the Games... The best case I had was that Rin was genuinely sick, and would get better, and that your entrance into the Games was a horrible coincidence... The worst case was that Autumn or someone else was trying to force my hands and make a mistake. I could either help your mother, or I could help you. I couldn't do both, not with the resources I had.” Gallic's hands clenched slightly as he set up the Satellite Cannon to take out the nuke heading towards them, the computer automatically doing the math. “The last two words I ever got from Rin were scrawled on some paper... Claire... Claire risked herself to get it back to me. I know you have no reason to believe me, but they were the basis of everything I've done concerning you...” Gallic said. “'Save her.'” Gallic was quiet for a long moment now, as he stared at the console. “...They fired a nuke at us, Nanami. I could, at the push of a button, send down a projectile that would utterly destroy their capitol city. They have attempted to destroy us, and they might try it again. Should I cut off the head then?” Gallic asked, turning towards his daughter, “Should I sacrifice those who are innocent to save other innocents?” |

[Victor’s Village] Nanami felt sick to her stomach at the news that her mother had been a part of this. She had always known that her mother had loved Gallic. She couldn’t even pretend that they hadn’t been a real couple… but she had always believed that her mother was ignorant of Gallic’s true nature. She wondered just how different her life had been if not for the Games. Would she have ended up like Walter and Claire? The ever obedient daughter, doing everything Gallic asked her to do? Would she have killed in his name, instead of trying to kill him? She wanted to respond, but she couldn’t find the proper words. What was the response to all of this? She wasn’t even sure she believed him… yet the tone of his voice and the sadness in his eyes seemed genuine. It didn’t seem like Gallic was lying this time. It seemed real. Before she could find the proper words, he spoke about the nuke and the question of destroying Shady Sands. Nanami’s crimson eyes narrowed at him. “If you destroy Shady Sands, you’ll be killing over a million people, the vast majority of them aren’t affiliated with the NCR’s government in any way. And even when it comes to the government officials, it was Tandi alone who has the authority to launch a nuke. You’d kill a million just to get rid of her?” Nanami shook her head. “You talk about saving people, but don’t you see that you’re the reason for all of this? Tandi launched that nuke because she’s afraid you’ll win. Autumn is dead, the Enclave Capitol is in ruins… but Tandi is terrified that the rebels will lose and you’ll survive.” She stared over to him. “She’s an old woman. I’ve spoken to her, looked her in the eyes, and she knows that even if the NCR wins today, she’ll be dead within a few years. She doesn’t want to see her nation fall. She’ll go to any length to destroy you.” Nanami sighed. “… She needs to be stopped, but you’re the cause of all of this. It’s never going to stop while you’re here, no matter how many bombs you drop.” |

[The Capitol] Horrigan was fast. And while Lavan was also a quick bugger and had his heat tune him up in speed, he still only had the limited reactions of a normal man. Something that Horrigan beat him in rather badly. So, the hulking man managed to get to Lavan before the boy could dodge, and the knife went straight into the boy's collar bone, sliding in with very little resistance. Lavan cried out in pain... But the arm that was connected to said collarbone went up and gripped Horrigan's own arm. It was still working. "... Heh. Is that the best YOU got, Franky?" And Lavan stepped back slightly, pulling away from the blade. Well... From the HANDLE of the blade, since the steel of the machete-like knife was molten and running down the metallic shell Lavan had fused with his body. "Looks like it isn't ENOUGH!" The boy used his grip under Horrigan's arm to lift himself up and vault upwards, adding a flare of fire from behind him and slamming his now rocket-propelled knee into Horrigan's face. This was followed by the detonation of another heat pocket, this one on Lavan's knee, trying to get through that mask. |

[The Capitol] Horrigan let out a loud scream as he stumbled back. This explosive pocket had burst into his face, burning at the mask on the mutant’s face. He fell back, grabbing his face as the pipes on the edge of the mask burst and the front of his mask fell off. His face was burnt, green and bloodied. He growled, his teeth gritting as his face was exposed for the first time since he became a mutant. “You won’t win!” Horrigan growled, as he grabbed something from his belt and threw it at Lavan – a shredder grenade. It would explode, sending lasers in every direction! |
