-Conference Room C6-

Gallic easily dodged the misfired arrows, looking towards Nanami, seeing her frazzled.

“My family has nothing to do with you!”

“Oh but dear Nanami, your family has everything to do with me,” Gallic said calmly, “I suspect your teacher, that Old Man, knows, but it's obvious he hasn't told you. Such a shame, really.”

He stared hard at Nanami, holding up his blade as Nanami gripped her's, “Did you really think that victory you had in the Games was the only reason I gave you that offer a decade ago, Nanami? No, I have been watching you for quite some time. Your victory in the Games simply proved it to me...

“You're ruthless, you're adaptive, you don't say no. You push and break the rules and don't let those weaker then you get in your way. You keep to your goals. Very much like your father...”

-Holding Facility-

As they turned the corner there was a sudden roar of fire. Cess jumped across the hallway, Samuel turning and holding his arms up.

Three men in power armor stood at the other end of the hall, one of them unleashing a hail of fire from a minigun! The other two waited, Samuel being pelted with bullets.

He gritted his teeth, in exceptional pain...but the bullets weren't piercing his skin...

Nanami felt a terrible coldness run up her spine. What was he talking about? Old Man Sensei knew something about her father?

She suddenly shook her head. This was all a tactic. Gallic was trying to get in her head, and although it shamed her terribly, Nanami was letting him.

“You’re still yapping about that job offer? Are you really that bad at handling rejection, Gallic?” Nanami asked, narrowing her eyes. She tried to ignore his words, and the full impact of them. “Don’t worry… you’ll forget all about it when you’re lying in your own blood, dying!”

Nanami was ready to charge forward and attack – but she stopped as Gallic spoke once more.

“You're ruthless, you're adaptive, you don't say no. You push and break the rules and don't let those weaker then you get in your way. You keep to your goals. Very much like your father...”

Nanami stopped, frozen in her spot. She did not like the words used to describe the father she had never known… nor did she like the implications of this conversation.

“… Shut up. Just shut your damn mouth and fight me.” Nanami barked. She didn’t want to think about what he might be saying…

[Holding Facility]

Connor gasped, and he jumped back and grabbed Sarai and Chloe, pulling them both down and out of the way of the bullets.

“Oh no… what do we do?”

“Oh come on now Nanami, surely you're wondering now, just who your father was,” Gallic said, chuckling now, “Shame though...it seems like you didn't inherit any of your father's abilities. He has a few of them, after all.”

He took a careful step forward, sword to his side, eying Nanami carefully, “If it's any consolation, he left your mother not because of you. He just had bigger plans, and staying with her would have meant he'd never fulfill them. Your father's a very ambitious man. He wanted to rule the Enclave. Remake it in his own image. Turn the greatest nation in the world outwards, to take out those petty armies of the Legion, New Vegas, the NCR... But he had to be careful, follow things right, gain allies...

“But then he met your mother. I believe he loved her, in some way. She was...below his station, a common woman in the Districts. It was almost quite a scandal, thankfully his superiors managed to cover for him. He had a choice. Stay with your mother, or continue down his path to claim rule over the Enclave. He chose the second. Maybe he believed that if he did that, he could return to the woman one day, the only person he ever really felt connected to. It was a sacrifice he was willing to make...your mother...didn't do so well. There was very little your father could do for her, without attracting attention to those who would look for any excuse to drive him from power. But he watched...did the little he could...”

Gallic sighed a little now, shaking his head, “I remember it all so clearly...the daughter never known, watching, seeing if she might be someone he could bring under his wing...then an opportunity came...but he had to know if she was strong enough, tough enough. So he rigged the Games, got her in them. That boy...her...boyfriend, was an accident, believe it or not. Your father did not intend to get him into the Games. Whether someone else did, I can't say. I've never been able to find any proof.

“And then she prevailed...Did better then he could even imagine, not only saving herself, but saving that boy as well. So she was given a chance...a chance to rule with her father. But she spurned it, and instead allied against him...Not that she knew who he was, of course...”

Gallic smiled now, staring straight at Nanami. He held out his left hand hand, his short sword extending from that sleeve, gripping it's handle tightly.

“It should be obvious now, but I don't want to leave a sliver of doubt left in your mind...” Gallic said calmly, “You are my one and only child Nanami. I am the father you never knew growing up, the father your mother didn't speak of. This is why I have given you my offer multiple times, why that no matter what you do, it will still be open. You can come with me Nanami...I can teach you true power, and we can rule the Enclave together, as father and daughter...”

-Holding Facility-

“We need those pylons turned off!” Cess yelled over the fire, looking towards Hammah who was attempting to do that with his Pip Boy.

“I'm trying!” Hammah yelled back, “It's...hard...”

Cess frowned, looking as Samuel kept taking the hits. When one ran low on ammo, another started firing, giving them time to reload. They would still run out eventually...but not before other soldiers got around and boxed them in...

[Conference Room C6]

Nanami listened as Gallic started to speak. His words actually sounded genuine… there was sincerity in his voice as he spoke about Nanami’s mother, and about the father she had never known.

And all the while, the more he said, the more apparent the truth became… the more Nanami felt sick. Her legs shook, her knees were quaking. She felt like she might pass out, or throw up, or simply melt into a puddle and die.

“No…” She muttered, as he neared the halfway point of his speech and mentioned the Games, her involvement, and the boy she had lost so long ago. “No… you’re lying… you’re full of smurf!”

Then he looked right at her, and their eyes locked. She was shivering, colder now than she had ever been using her ice.

“It should be obvious now, but I don't want to leave a sliver of doubt left in your mind...”

It was obvious, but Nanami wanted nothing more than to hold onto the doubt. If he actually said those words, it would be the end for her. A fate worse than death, worse than the Hunger Games…

“You are my one and only child Nanami. I am the father you never knew growing up, the father your mother didn't speak of.

In Nanami’s life, two moments ranked as the worst, the most painful. The first was upon learning of her mother’s death; cold and alone and watching the Hunger Games. The knowledge she would never again be able to see her mother was terrible, and it had been worse than all the beatings and stabbings she suffered in the Games.

The second, of course, was when her brainwashed boyfriend had tried to kill her. When she had been forced to look her one true love in his eyes and realize that everything that she had loved about him had been erased by the Enclave; and when she was forced to kill him with her own hand.

Nanami never thought she would feel a pain worse than those two moments… and it was the pain of those moments that she blamed Don Gallic for. It was the driving force behind her feverish need to exterminate Gallic.

… She was wrong.

This moment was now the absolute worst. Learning that the man she hated above everyone else, the object of all her hatred and her malice… to learn that Don Gallic was her father was a fate crueler and worse than anything she could imagine.

He had won. He had beaten her. Perhaps not in body, but in spirit. In her mind and her soul, she had been utterly defeated by the simple revelation that the very blood flowing through her veins was the same blood that pumped from Gallic’s heart.

“… No… NOoooo!” Nanami roared, lost in a suddenly blind rage. Tears streamed from her face – the first time she had cried in front of someone in nearly a decade – and she charged at Gallic, swinging her knives, fully intent on killing him.

Because she knew… deep down, she knew… he was telling the truth.

Gallic brought arms up, blocking Nanami's attacks as she swung at him with her daggers, stepping back carefully, watching the blades.

“It's not too late, Nanami,” Gallic said, still calm despite the situation, not fighting back, merely blocking Nanami's attacks, “You believe me to be the villain, but you are wrong. I want what's best for you...I want you to be able to take over for me. I was not the one responsible for your boyfriend's brainwashing. I am not the only one with power in the Enclave.”

He jumped backwards, opening the distance between him and Nanami, “Join me, Nanami! Together we can take over the Enclave, we can find who was truly responsible for everything. I want to end the Games, but even with my power I am but one man.”

Gallic gave Nanami a small smile, looking almost...melancholy, “I know you blame me for your life...but I want to help you...for you to help me. You must see past your hatred. See what really matters...”

It sounded a lot like what Old Man Sensei told Nanami...except where he wanted Nanami to be able to let go of hate and live, Gallic wanted her to let go of her hate, so she could be as cold and calculating as he was...

Nanami’s blood was boiling. What bothered her most of all was how calm he was. She was trying to rip his jugular open with violence, and he seemed so calm and collected.

“You think I would join you? After everything you’ve done!?” Nanami growled, trying to stab at him. “If what you’re saying is true… if you loved her, why did you let my mother die!? She died cold and alone and sick!”

Nanami wished the pylons were offline. She was angry enough to summon a blizzard at this moment.

“What really matters is mounting your head on a pike! You think you’re doing good? Even if you ended the Hunger Games, it doesn’t matter. You’ve killed so many people… you’ve let the Enclave kill so many people. If I die here, so be it, as long as I take you to hell with me!”

“...If that's what you truly wish...” Gallic sighed, gripping his blades tightly, “So be it! If I must break you first, then I will!”

Gallic then charged forward to meet Nanami, moving faster now, slashing with his short swords at the girl. No longer was he passive, defending himself. Now he was pushing on the attack!

Nanami was surprised as Gallic suddenly became aggressive. He was a lot more vicious, attacking back at her and she had to jump back. She did her best to block and evade, but she felt the pain as her arm was slashed and she felt blood spew out.

She jumped back and panted a bit. Then she immediately shot forward, going low and trying to stab Gallic in the stomach!

GRAPPLING HOOK!

Enclave Holding Facility

Melanie followed Nanami into the commanding office’s room, the girl looking around hesitantly before turning her attention to the older girl....Nanami didn't show any fear what-so-ever....Right now, Melanie had no clue why people said they were so much alike. She was terrified.

Suddenly Nanami was off, intent on killing Don Gallic and leaving she and the others to find Galv. For some reason Melanie felt torn, one one hand she didn't want to leave Nanami on her own...But at the same time she needed to find Galv before something terrible happened.

"We need to hurry" Melanie mumbled to Rica who she was now standing rather close to in nervousness. "Something feels off"

Suddenly there was a guard, who was promptly shot by Cess. Melanie stiffened, but tried not to show her tension. Of course she couldn't keep her cool when a hail of bullets came at them. The girl gave a squeak of terror as her godfather was shot many times without a break. She almost ran for him, before realizing that would be a death sentence...Even if she did have her powers right now.

[...]

Sarai continued to stay near Connor, unable to stop herself from jumping a bit as Cess shot the guard. Then several more guards were in their way and the girl was pulled to the ground by Connor. Instantly Sarai covered her head, squeezing her eyes shut.


“Oh no… what do we do?”


"We shoot miho!" Chloe said, on the ground by pulling out her gun and making several shots. "When you don't have powers you SHOOT!"

Gallic kept his face calm as he and Nanami fought, their blades flashing as they dueled.

Nanami stabbed low, the dagger stabbing through his suit...only to be met with the armor we was wearing beneath!

The dagger was unable to pierce the armor, at least not with that one blow, Gallic moving back as well. Had he just been wearing the suit, Nanami would have cut open his stomach.

“Not bad...” Gallic said, taking a careful step to the side, “You are good...but you could still be so much better...”

He spun his swords, then charged at Nanami again, slashing sideways at the girl with both swords!

-Enclave Holding Facility-

Samuel felt like he might pass out. At the very least, as he was taking hits, it meant these three wouldn't be advancing. If only the pylons were off, he could push through...

“Hammah, now!” Cess hissed, turning and firing as another guard came up to them before the guard could open fire. He plucked a grenade from his belt, tossing it down the stairs, hearing an explosion, taking out a couple other guards.

“Got it!” Hammah said suddenly, “Damnit, no, the back ups...”

He frowned, “There needs to be some kind...big failure in one of them. That would give me enough time to stop the other ones.”

Like a tank smashing into one... <.<

Nanami growled in frustration as she realized Gallic was wearing armor beneath his suit. That could have been a killing-blow if not for his armor. It felt like she was cheated of his blood.

“Stop talking and DIE!” Nanami roared. Every word from Gallic was like poison to her ears… and a knife to her heart. This man, this terrible, horrible man… he was her father. Her own flesh and blood.

She spun backwards, but as he slashed she was not quite quick enough to evade it. The blade went just far enough to cut through her lightweight armor and leave a shallow slash on her side. It would not be fatal, but it was bloody and painful.

“Grah…” Nanami growled. She suddenly jumped, and tried to stab him in the face!

[Enclave Holding Facility]

Rica nodded to Melanie, as the bullets started to fly. He grabbed something from his jacket – a grenade! – and he tossed it at the soldiers who were shooting at them.

[…]

Connor looked up to Chloe, and he slowly nodded. The boy grabbed his gun and peeked around the corner, shooting at the Enclave soldiers!

Mad Scientist / Head of Intel Division
Somewhere Above Enclave Holding Facility

It has been three days since the escape of the rebels from the Arena. Since the rescue of the Tributes. Since Gallic's plans suddenly got disrupted. Three days of tension, three days of victorious celebration amongst several prominent figures.

Three days of useless searching for the place that held old man Pibb, whom Lavan had promised to rescue as soon as he got done with the games. And Lavan never broke his promises.

Over said three days, Lavan has changed vehicles a total of 7 times. During these 7 changes, 4 more border bases were destroyed and 7 tanks were hijacked. These 7 attempts have also allowed Lavan to perfect the so-far-very-useful strategy of dropping a burning, flying tank on people. He has seriously considered getting some fireproof speaks to announce his arrival, but decided finally against it. It was a lot funnier when a tank stealth-dropped on top of your head.

Well, so he thought.

After a few days of fruitless search, Lavan had finally stumbled on a clue. Well, he stumbled on an Enclave patrol that held a clue, but that patrol didn't exist anymore. This clue, an electronic map with a waypoint, pointed him towards one of the Enclave holding facilities, and Lavan set out to find it, do some damage, maybe find Pibb, and if not find him then get the location of where he is held.

That was about 8 hours ago. After resting properly, Lavan repeated the "Overloaded Overland Tank Trick", and was now flying at full speed towards the holding facility.

Well, WAS flying towards it. Now, he was flying straight at it and carefully monitoring his own power output so the tank didn't explode prematurely. That happened twice over the past 2 days... God, was that embarrassing.

Nonetheless, he passed right over a land troop of patrols which opened fire as soon as they saw the flaming monstrosity in the sky, but it was too late. The heated armor plating simply accepted plasma fire without any sort of slowing, while physical ammunition was shot from too far away to truly be effective against one of their own war machines. The tank passed over a second patrol, over a third, and then over a high wall and right towards the facility.

With a loud whoop, the pyromaniac steered the winged contraption dead-center of the large pylon resting in the middle of the facility. Normally, this would be terribly difficult to access, and he would be under the attack of anti-aircraft fire, but there was some sort of commotion already, and only a few shots grazed his tank before the massive, burning phoenix-shaped flame with a tank core impacted directly with the metal plating protecting the pylon from any outside attack.

Said plating never was meant to hold back something that weighed over 10 tons and was flying at a speed of almost 700 kilometers an hour. It buckled like tissue paper.

And that meant nothing was stopping the monstrosity from crashing into the crystal arrays of the pylon like an angry rhino into a china shop.

With a rather loud shattering sound, the main pylon crumpled on itself, its backup functions kicking in and failing one after another as the tank simply destroyed everything with its weight. A second later, the burning corona around the invading object disappeared, leaving a red-hot tank in its place. Lavan popped the hatch open and dove out, just as the core of this machine overloaded, and a massive explosion atomized the rest of what was before a very sensitive array of technology and crystals that stopped power use.

The blast was too wide to get away from though, and Lavan, yet again, was given a first class air ticket for an undeterminable amount of uncontrolled flight by the detonation.

"WHOOOHOOOOOOO!!!"

... At least he was enjoying it...

-Enclave Holding Facility-

“I...woah!” Hammah said suddenly, eyes wide as a loud explosion was heard from outside, “The pylons are off! The back ups...Okay they're shut off too! We have our powers!”

“Good,” Cess said. He checked his ammunition, “Alright we need to get to the third floor!”

Samuel felt a wave of relief wash over him. Without the pylon on his power was in full effect. He charged forward at the three soldiers wearing power armor, all of them shocked now. Samuel pulled back his fist, punching one in the helmet, denting it and sending him downwards.

A shot went through a second, Cess appearing and opening fire from down the hallway, using some armor piercing rounds. The third turned to open fire on Cess, but was stopped as Samuel hit him as well, knocking him down.

“Come on, let's go!” Cess yelled, waving his hand, “Rica, get Melanie, you and Samuel, go get Galv, we'll cover you!”



Galv heard guns, explosions...Something was happening.

Then one really big explosion, and he paused, feeling his electricity sparking around him now.

He jumped up, hurrying to the door, sparking into the control panel, forcing the door open now, carefully stepping outside.

Now might be his chance to escape...

-Conference Room C6-

Nanami was jumping at Gallic, ready to slash his face, to kill her father.

There was a loud kaboom outside, and Gallic's eyes opened wide. The pylons...they were off.

Gallic waved his hand suddenly, using his telekinesis to grab at Nanami and toss her across the room!

Rica nodded. He fired a few rounds at the soldiers in power armor, and then he turned to Melanie.

“Come on! We’re going to go find your little boyfriend so we can get the hell out of this place!” Rica said, rushing up the stairs. He shot a couple of guards along the way. With the pylons off, Rica no longer had to worry about his own safety.

[Conference Room C6]

Nanami was suddenly grabbed by telekinetic power, and hurled across the room! She hit the wall hard and growled, feeling terrible pain in her back. She wondered if she had broken a rib, and expected that she had.

But…

“… This is better for me than you.” Nanami growled. She raised her hands, and suddenly the temperature of the room plummeted. It was roughly two degrees above zero in a matter of seconds, and as Nanami moved her arms, ice and snow began to fly around the room – mostly concentrated for Gallic!

She was trying to freeze… everything!

The room grew cold, and Gallic actually smiled, holding his hands up, focusing.

Fire burst around him, keeping himself warm and countering Nanami's ice!

“I told you that your father had more then one ability!” Gallic said, “It really is a shame you didn't seem to get any of mine.”

Fire swirled from Gallic, heading right for his daughter!
