                                                        -Confident
                                                          Nyx doesn't hesitate when she acts no matter the stakes. From her point of view it's important to always act at the very least. 'Act with wisdom but act' was something that her father had drilled into her mind when he had been younger. Sadly it was one of the few things that stuck. She also won't secondguess herself after something happened. At the most she'll consider handling things differently next time.

                                                        -Resourceful
                                                          While she's not the most intelligent of people she's always been resourceful and quick on her feet. Her experience with occupational hazards have only improved her ability in this regard. This is mostly displayed through her ability to get out of all kinds of trouble.

                                                        -Collected
                                                          Danger is something that Nyx has dealt with early on in her life. Because of that it doesn't phase her which allows her to keep her calm under duress. This also allows her to do horrible things without letting her actions contaminate her. Interestingly this also makes her quite a capable actor.

                                                        -Brutal
                                                          Dealing with dangerous elements of society means that you're going to be forced to make an example of people. Torture, murder, violent beatings and public executions are all valid tactics to control people in her book.

                                                        -Rebellious
                                                          Nyx does things her way. Partially because she knows it works but also because she doesn't easily trust other people. When she's being forced into a position she's not agreeable with she usually responds with violence. She has a specific hatred for governments because she considers them corrupt organizations. This also includes Pandora.

                                                        -Playful
                                                          When she's around people that she can be relaxed around she's very easy going. Teasing and even seduction can all come into play in such a scenario.

                                                        Desolation
                                                          General Description :
                                                            Desolation is a dual form weapon. It's primary form is a long blade but it can fold up into it's secondary form which is an assault rifle. She's had it for a very long time now and initially didn't even know it was a soul weapon. When in her transformation the weapon's appearance changes drastically. The color will change from silver-gold to black-red and skulls motifs will appear on the weapon's side. As a battle rages on the weapon becomes stronger as the eyes of the skulls will start to light up.
                                                            Blade Form :
                                                              This form pretty much functions like you would expect a blade to function when Nyx isn't transformed. When transformed the weapon gains a set of abilities.
                                                                Sunder
                                                                  Nyx slams the ground with her weapon causing the ground to tear apart before her in a line towards her enemy. The harder she strikes, the more violent the sundering.

                                                                Rend
                                                                  Nyx shoves the blade tip into the ground causing a multitude of other blades to spring forth from the ground around her to impale them.

                                                                Storm of Swords
                                                                  ULTIMATE : Not accessible yet


                                                              Rifle form :
                                                                Functions like a generic rifle. It fires energy bolts at a high rate of fire with reasonable accuracy. When Nyx is transformed the weapon fires more potent bolts of energy that detonate on impact.

                                                          Ruin
                                                            Nyx is able to summon her 'steed' called Ruin. It's color scheme matches that of her weapon (silver-gold / red-black). Usually she uses to get around at high speeds but she can also use it to increase her mobility in battle. Aside from outright mounting it she can summon it and use it as a jumping platform before having it vanish again. This way she can also break falls. It's altitude ceiling is 20 meters.

                                                          Transformation

                                                            When Nyx transforms her outfit and weapon changes appearance(for weapon see the description). She dons a formfitting deep purple bodyglove that's adorned with skulls of fallen enemies with glowing eyes based on the destruction around her. Around that she wears a tattered red cape.

                                                            While transformed her speed, strength and stamina are increased while her weapon gains new abilities. Destruction and combat around her also serves to empower her, increasing her stamina and further boosting her strength. Because of this she tends to surround herself with conflict to boost herself.

                                                            (NOTE : no mountain smashing or instant city destruction. Just faster, better stronger. Nothing extreme unless for plot purposes.)

❘❙ Mood : Calm ❘❙ Location : Rio de Janeiro ❘❙ With : Solo ❘❙ Wearing: outfit

                                        Rio de Janairo, once a city that had to become a true city of the world, now it was but a shadow of it's former self. The world had changed drastically and Brazil had been one of the countries that was slow to adapt. Their restrictive import rules made it so that aquiring the technologies needed to defend themselves. The various bits of equipment needed to build the defensive walls had taken ages to get here. Now there was too much chaos for the wall to even begin construction properly. The people here were killing each other in the streets over trivial things, the government had no power and Myhtos attacks increased by the day. In other words it was the perfect place for someone like Nyx but then again there were plenty places like this around.

                                        When she thought about it she wondered if Pandora was even trying anymore. Not that Nyx cared all that much though. She had the strength to survive in this world and though she'd been approached to join them she'd rejected them each time before departing in her usual high speed fashion. Was she a terrible person for not caring about huanity in the slightest? Perhaps she was but on the flip side very few people had ever done anything for her and she wasn't running a charity here. The world had become a tough place and only the strong would survive. Perhaps one day she would change her mind but these days she was submerged in the worst kinds of places and thrived in them, so why would she change?

                                        She had been sitting at the window looking over the ruins of the city from a tall structure that had once been a Hilton hotel. "Miss. Your assailant will be waking up soon." The young man said and Nyx acknowledged him with a nod. She gave the city one last look with a shake of her head before following the man through the halls where there the mercenary was tied to the bed. "Leave us. This is between him and me." She said calmly to the guards and glared at them when they took too long.

                                        Once she was left alone with him she started going through his stuff. She knew that this man had been sent to kill her, her informers had given her enough proof of that to satisfy her. Usually she welcomed the attempts as it kept her sharp but this was just sad. Mere hours after arriving in the country he'd gotten Malaria so she had him picked up from the hospital and brought before her to end this matter right away. She heard him groan as he woke up and picked up the piece of paper that contained his orders. Slowly the man's eyes opened and she could see the panic spread over his face as the situation dawned on him. He parted his lips to utter something, probably some sort of defense but she really didn't give a s**t what he had to say.

                                        She was the one that was going to talk here. Lifting the paper in her hand she started to read. "The target's presence in the state continues to be a destabilizing influence. She is largely responsible for the massive import of weapons in clear violation of the UN's safety council's decree on weapon sales. Her reputation as a dangerous arms dealer... is well-deserved." She said and let a predatory grin creep over her features. "How nice of them. Orders are to terminate." Laughing she shook her head and stared right at him. "Well that didn't go the way you wanted it to huh? I'm still breathing and you're the one with malaria in your system. You can go back to your boss if you survive the quarantine procedures for Malaria victims in this country but what are you going to tell them? Tell them that you tried? You know just as well as I do that that means ********] She said and tossed the paper away, she didn't need it anymore.

                                        "You are fired, you know it and so do I. You might have had a chance before but that's over now and since people like you only work for money, you're no longer my problem. You'll have to find something else to do with yourself now, something to earn enough money to get the meds you'll need to survive here." She said while pacing the room very slowly, her eyes never leaving his. By the end she stopped and started to approach him. "What your former employers don't seem to realize is that they can't kill me." She said calmly before tossing a hidden blade at her from her sleeve. With a loud thud the blade impacted the wall above him. "Do you understand? No one kills ME." Her voice grew lower and more threatening to intimidate him.

                                        Pullling out Desolation in rifle form she aimed it at his head. The sound of the weapon's charge filling the room with a deep whirr. "I am the one that decides who lives and who dies - ME." Almost casually she checked the side of the rifle, her eyes scanning the motief of the weapon before withdrawing it and letting it rest on her shoulder with a slight smirk. The man looked positively terrified, good. That always gave her satisfaction.

                                        "My old man used to read books to me as a kid. Guess he hoped I'd become some wise person. Maybe I am, maybe I'm not. I'm not one to think too much about that. Regardless there's one quote from his books that always stuck with me. 'A living being seeks above all else to discharge its strength. Life itself will to power, nothing else matters.'" She said and turned around to leave the room. "So long, perhaps we'll meet again but I doubt it."

                                        Once outside the room she headed downstairs to the lobby. A sensation teased the back of her neck, a feeling that she was well aware of by now. A Mythos or perhaps a couple of them were nearby. A moment later an alarm blared through the city and her cellphone rang. "I'm way ahead of you. Make sure my pay's waiting for me." She murmured into the phone and moved forward into the direction that she'd felt the surge.




                                        "

            After being knocked out by Kai his mind felt empty, like his usually rampant mind was at ease if only for a few moments. He wondered if this was what it was like for other people? For the people that didn't have a mind going at the speed of light. While it was peaceful it really didn't feel like it belonged with him. For some reason it made him feel hollow, like an essential part of his being was suddenly gone. It really felt like there was a void in his mind, slowly growing larger and larger like there was a black hole at the center. Then without warning there was a bright flash in his mind, pure and blinding to the point where it blocked out all of his senses.

                                        Nyx sat back in the cockpit of their personal frigate as they drifted through space. "You sure it's going to be here?" Nyx asked her 'younger' brother with a teasing smirk but the male just nodded his head a little. "Absolutely. It's not even time yet, you're just being impatient. Give it some time." The man said and looked at the timer as it counted down slowly. Once it reached zero space folded in upon itself and a large carrier with a few escort corvettes. A quick scan told Nyx that the carrier itself was minimally armed but the corvettes were a different matter. Sure they were a class lighter then what the twins were using but there were three of them. "Starting ECM" Drake muttered as he started scrambling the signal they gave off to make them harder to hit. Meanwhile behind the controls Nyx licked her lips and unleashed a first volley of fire. Laser blasts shredded the first corvette, great gouts of fire spilling from the holes as it drifted off. The twins saw some escape pods but no rescue craft were being sent to pick them up, it showed the priorities that Atlas had.

                                        The two remaining craft tried to get a lock on the frigate but Nyx rolled it underneath the carrier for a brief second to break the lock only to pop up right in front of one. Another blast sent it to oblivion. For a moment it looked like the third corvette was out to avenge its comrades but with a flicker of pseudo motion it vanished from sight as it entered hyperspace. With the escorts taken care of the frigate turned to the carrier and a precise volley of blows took out it's engines. The massive craft was now all but helpless before the twins. "Time to take over kiddo. I'll be dropping into the hangar to secure it. You bring it in nice and calm so we can loot the thing for all it's worth. Big cargo ship like that's bound to have something worthwhile, especially since it had a reasonable escort." The woman said and tapped her brother on the shoulder as she headed down to the armory to gear up.

Big cargo ship like that's bound to have something worthwhile, especially since it had a reasonable escort." The woman said and tapped her brother on the shoulder as she headed down to the armory to gear up.

                                        Once dressed in her armor she headed for the drop bay. There Adam had already prepared an Assault Pod for her use. After raiding space for three years they had perfected their techniques and the equipment that they used. The Assault Pod was a critical piece of equipment. Adam had bought them as simple miner drones but upgraded their drills and add a storage space for a passenger : Nyx. Now the shielded and armored pod was able to pierce the hull of most starship and unleash it's deadly cargo. It was a crazy, aggressive but efficient way to do it and that meant it was perfect for the twins.

                                        When she settled into the pod she grinned a little as her brother's voice came over the comms. "Alright I'm shooting you right into what looks like the main cargo area. The area's shielded from scans so I can't tell what's in there. Regardless if something gets in your way the mole will go right through it anyway. You all set?" The pinkhaired soldier checked everything and then nodded. "Ayup. Shoot away lil brother~!" She uttered with a smirk and a moment later she felt the sudden lurch as the pod was fired at the transport. For about a second everything was silent and the only thing that she could hear was her rapid heartbeat and her shaking. Initially she thought that it was fear but these days she understood it perfectly : Tt’s just like the trembling of an eager race horse in the starting gate. Not that she'd really known, she'd never been a race horse.

                                        The silence came to an abrupt end when she felt the impact and the ripping and tearing of metal. As quickly as the noise had come it vanished and the hatch blew open to allow Nyx to leave. It took her a moment to orientate herself and when she looked up she saw that the pod had barely breached the level that she was on right now. Then she realized that this really wasn't a storage area of any kind but rather a massive holding area designed to keep one thing inside. "What a place..." Nyx murmured and a shiver ran down her spine. She'd hate to end up in a place like this. As she walked past a data terminal she dropped one of Adam's weird creations on it. The man on the other side of the link quickly invaded the ship's databases to check what was going on.

                                        "This facility is meant to keep a woman called Steele in. That's about all I can get out of this. The encryption on this is incredible and I can't rush a breakthrough or it'll lock up and delete itself." The brother informed as he brought the ship around to invade the docking area. The man's killer robot had dropped from a pod as well and had been clearing out the place for him. "Well that's interesting. Let's have a look." She said with an eager little grin. If she was dangerous enough to be locked in then she was interesting to her. Practically skipping on her feet she approached the observation terminal where the silverhaired woman stood. No doubt she'd heard Nyx's dramatic arrival and seeing as she looked completely different from the guards she was an intruder. A few actual guards showed up with weapons and a shot from Nyx's arm mounted grenade launcher showed them the way out.

                                        Then her helmet popped open and she gave the silverhaired woman a little wave while smiling ear to ear. For her it was a critical test that Diana's freedom would depend on. Despite some initial hesitation the woman reluctantly wove back. Satisfied she punched the button beneath her and all manner of alarms went off while Diana's celldoor opened. "There. A distraction while we loot whatever's worth in this ship." She muttered and was off, blowing apart guards that got in her way as she tried to find the armory and the ship's treasury. After all the time they spent in space waiting for this piece of junk they had to get something out of it. "Freed a potentially crazy person. How are things on your end?" After a sigh she got her answer. "Hangar secured. I'm loading some supplies on board that were stored here. Mostly looks like food and some simple weapons. Nothing special but it'll cover the costs. Still... try to find something useful. We're not in this business to break even." Sighing at her brother's seriousness she was off to continued her crazed rampage.

                                        And she was calling the Steele girl crazy.

                                        Kiran shrugged a little at the remark that Blade was usually the one called a Lunatic. "We're all lunatics here Blade." He said and pointed at Adam who was leading the way with weapons at the ready. "He's got steel underwear syndrome. You have ... s**t you're a full house and I think you're proud of it too. I'd name the things but you're hotter when you're not cross eyed in confusion." He said with a smirk under his helmet and side stepped the retort that might have taken his head off had he not been wearing his helmet.

                                    Yrah was seated on the observation balcony over-viewing the ships maneuvering in the bay before him. It was the most recent fleet element that was commissioned for their future actions against the Earth Kingdom. Each ship had seen some moderate action to season them but they weren't trained for a proper assault yet. The most important part in Yrah's book was how they did the approach and that meant that large scale formations had to be trained. "Well they're doing alright... I suppose. The four ships on the left are lagging a bit but that's because of the currents. I'd have liked to see them signal it to the others so they'd adjust but it's hardly something crucial." He murmured to his staff and looked down at the map of the area that he was shifting pieces around on to keep track of things. When he was satisfied that the ship commanders didn't turn into a swarm of pigeons in a formation he could move on to more... testing trials.

                                    While he was a brilliant commander he was also somewhat of an evil genius. It was pretty much a necessity in order to prepare his soldiers against an enemy like the Dai Li. The Dai Li were masters of deception and intelligence, something that changed the battlefield completely. In order to even be relevant he had to make sure that his troops weren't vulnerable to basic misdirection. Hence the test that he was about to perform. For the next half hour he used a flag system to send the ships all over the place, forcing them to zig-zag between other groups while also giving conflicting orders and even fake ones from other flag posts meant to fuzz things up. Normally during an maneuver of this scale there'd be an admiral on deck to coordinate but he wanted to make sure they would make due without that. The Dai Li could assassinate said admiral in a battle and if the fleet wasn't prepared they would crumble almost instantly. The last Avatar went down like a little b***h and that taught him to never put all his eggs in one basket. One might say that he overcompensated a little but people weren't dumb enough to tell him that to his face.

                                    Aside from once incident where a few ships damn near crashed into each other he was quite satisfied with how things went. Chaos was inevitable when you yanked structure away from soldiers but it was within acceptable parameters. "Alright let's leave it at that. Get the ships back to the docks and brief the admiral in charge on the operation. I'll have a personal chat later." He told his staff and saluted them before leaving. While on his way to the palace one of his officers walked up to him, the man was a veteran of a few operations and a survivor of Yrah's blitz attack that had crippled the Earth Kingdom's navy three years ago. Yrah could recognize the distress on the man's face right away and slowed his pace a little so that they could have a reasonably comfortable talk. "What's the problem lad?" Yrah asked calmly at the older male that took being called lad by someone younger then him remarkably well. "I still see their faces." The man said after some silence and Yrah gave a slow nod, he knew where this was going. It wasn't the first conversation like this that he had. Quite a few of his officers were having troubles, most of them involving nightmares.

                                    "How do you do it Sir?" The man asked after a little pause, finally getting to the topic he clearly wanted to discuss. "Do what exactly Kirameki?" Yrah replied calmly, raising a single eyebrow. "You don't seem bothered in the slightest by... by what you had us do. You sent tens of thousands of soldiers and sailors to their death that day. All of us have to live with losing them." The man uttered, edging closely towards intolerable insolence. His sister might have punished the man for speaking like that but Yrah could admire the man's courage. No one had approached him like that quite yet and he knew that there were parts of the military that weren't happy with him for what he had done. "Honestly? I hate that I had to do it. I hate that I had to send in the majority of our forces at the time but I did what I had to do. Had I not done so we would have already been defeated. I gave us time, I gave us a chance to fight back. It was a sacrifice, a terrible one and one that will never be forgotten. They're dead and that's a terrible thing but we'll remember them and their actions... through that they'll be eternal. Know that your comrades are still watching over your shoulder and let that steel your heart for what's to come. Only if we lose will their deaths be in vain." Yrah said solemnly, silencing the other man for a little while.

                                    "But sir..." Yrah paused and turned to look the man straight in the eye. "I haven't slept well in three years if that's what you want to know. It was my decision and through that I carry the burden of their souls. Yet... I can't let it slow me down, I can't let it wear me down. Worse is yet to come I'm afraid. The trials ahead of us will test our souls to the breaking point... but for our comrades, alive and dead we have to persevere. Hold on my friend, we'll make the Dai Li pay for everything they've done. I'm keeping a tally and I will see justice. Now get back to your men. It won't be long now." Yrah said and put a hand on the man's shoulder before giving a nudge to shake him a little. It wasn't what the other officer had been expecting or hoping for but he was satisfied to hear his commanding officer was neither an idiot nor a sociopath. Leading people was more then just strategy, the heart and soul most certainly mattered and right now with everything that was going on that was the most important part. He couldn't allow the people of the fire nation to get down, not from their losses and certainly not because of the state of their royal house.

                                    With no further interruptions he was able to reach the palace proper only to find out that it was in a state of alert because of some people infiltrating it. "Never a dull moment..." He murmured with a sigh and saw the Royal guardsmen scurry about to catch the intruder. The only point that he was halted was at the door to the throne room. "Let me pass." He uttered calmly, crossing his arms over his chest but the guards didn't move away. With a sigh he decided to just ignore them and walked forward, ignoring protests but well they could hardly lay a hand on the prince now could they? As always Yrah knew the limits and he enjoyed walking the line. One day it would get him in trouble, in fact he'd gotten into trouble on multiple occasions but he just saw it as a test to see if the guards could handle being messed with. Honestly, they couldn't.

                                    Shoving the doors open he looked at his father and gave him a nod before looking at the guest, likely the reason they didn't want him to just walk in. There were some others present as well but he didn't care much for them, they were pretty much insignificant in comparison. He could recognize the elder male from descriptions in stories and gave a respectful nod before approaching his father with a scroll under his arm. He laid it out on the table and then gave a little smile, one filled with pride. "The Navy's at full operational capacity my lord. The last group just finished their initiation." He reported and had all the relevant figures on the scroll for his father to observe. With duty out of the way he gave his father a frown. "What's this about the guests I heard about? Another impersonator?" He asked before standing to the side so that he was available to be called upon. With his daily duties out of the way his place was at the court in support of his lord and father. Usually he could get away from it but a second member of the family had to be present at these things.

                                    He just hoped that it wouldn't be a boring day.

                                                            Adam gave the now derelict machine one last look as the pilot climbed out, presumably to get away from the now leaking fusion core that had once powered the war machine. He couldn't imagine how the pilot must have felt right then and there. If anything he was lucky that the thing didn't outright explode when the inspector pulled that stunt. He felt a bit of pity for him but didn't think of it for much longer as he heard a beep penetrate his systems. One of the bigger mechs was trying to pull a stunt by knocking him to the side. Whoever was piloting that thing was underestimating

                                        Nyx had been tearing through the ship in her own special. Still as much as she was looking around she couldn't find anthing of value. The woman that she'd freed earlier was really the only interesting thing here and he knew that her brother was going to be complaining about that. Where Nyx was in it for the fighting her brother was in it for the money and he tended to get a little salty when things didn't go his way. Still she could understand that he wanted to keep them financially afloat, especially seeing that Nyx was utterly incompetent when it came to finances. She was a warrior for ********, not an accountant yet her brother somehow managed to combine the two. For that she admired her brother but at the same time it was frustrating for someone as competative as her.

                                        She was about to start heading back to the ship so they could get out of here. The response forces from Atlas were bound to start showing up sometime soon. Last time they faced something like that they had been riding with their own taskforce and the repairs to their ship had still nearly rendered them bankrupt. As good a fight as that would have been they just couldn't afford it. She'd been checking her map to figure out how to get back through the mess she had caused when an explosion knocked her straight on her a**. "Wasn't me..." She murmured while trying to get back on her feet. When she got her bearings back she saw the woman from earlier running towards her

Adam had been manning the ship's systems while his killer bot was out wrecking things to keep the ship safe. He wasn't too happy with his sister's decision to let a potentially dangerous convict out of a jail that was designed just for her. "Here's to hoping that we don't end up regretting it." He muttered to himself but through the communication channel that he had open with his sister he knew that she'd be able to hear it. Once his bot had taken care of the local guards it started going through the nearby armoury. To make things worth it they had to pillage something from the ship. As it was they'd be lucky to earn back enough for fuel and maintenance costs. Sometimes this job left them rolling in cash but other times it could be hard to buy enough food or ammo to get by the next week.

In the end it was a good thing that he had stayed on the ship as suddenly explosions started to ring out across the transport that they were looting. "Great. Of course something like this happens. No good can ever come from these kinds of missions." He muttered in annoyance and recalled his bot while checking where Nyx was. Once set up cameras to follow her he realized that the woman Nyx had freed was also with her. He still couldn't see why Nyx had decided to let her go but didn't focus on it all that much. His sister was known for doing crazy s**t all the time but so far things didn't seem like they were working out. At least if the condition of the transport was any indication. Through his access to the systems he guided the two women to the ship but they failed to make it as a powerful explosion blew out the hangar.

Frustrated he flew the Succubus out to make sure it didn't get damaged in the explosions while indicating a new route for the two women to take. Nyx wasn't going to be happy about being in an escape pod again but she was going to have to suck it up if she wanted to survive. Regardless this time he was in a position to pick them up right from the start. As he saw the pod launch from the doomed transport he vectored in on it and started his approach to scoop it up into it's storage compartment. His hand was already hovering over the switch to turn off the shields so the pod could be taken in when suddenly a much larger ship appeared right above him.

Swearing he dove away, if he had dropped in a little closer he wouldn't have had a chance. "Get down to the planet, I'll cover your way down. Full burn, NOW." He growled over the ECHO as he switched the ship's configuration into battle mode again. While he couldn't use the Succubus' considerable mobility to his use he still packed a fair punch and the shields should hold well enough. Once the pod started it's path he took up a shielding position to protect it against direct fire. He'd hoped the larger ship didn't have any missiles but after detecting a few launches he knew things were worse, fighters were being launched. "Today keeps getting better and better..." He muttered in annoyance and leaned back in the chair.

A series of connectors poked out of the headrest and plugged into the sockets of his head that revealed himself. The advantage of having a cybernetic brain was that if push came to shove there was a much better connection available. He could connect himself directly to the ship and pilot it like it was just another extension of his body. With his eyes closed he kept track of everything as the ship's sensors functioned as his eyes and ears instead.

Despite the rather large amount of alcohol that had been consumed the night before Kiran didn't suffer the slightest form of a hangover. It was part of his manipulated physiology that he didn't suffer from things like that, poisons and toxins had trouble working their way into his system, something that on certain nights he was rather grateful for since Harley did seem like the type that might use a daterape drug in a drink to get what she wanted. While he was by no means prude or reserved he liked remembering things that had happened and he wanted things to be more or lesson his terms. That said he actually didn't know if she had tried something like that, he'd just poured the drinks down all the same.

During the night he had segregated himself from the others, venturing deeper into the bunker to find a quiet dark corner for him to sleep in with a blanket over him while he was in his armor. The nightmares he had everynight were quite intensive and only absolute darkness and silence could mitigate them a little bit. It wasn't something that he had shared with them so far as he didn't want them to think that he was some sort of lunatic. Sure they had read the reports and made their assumptions but that didn't mean they wouldn't change their mind based on what they saw at night. No he wanted them to see what he was worth before they made such observations. Even now as an adult, as a powerful soldier he still feared eyes on his back. The observation rooms had left an impression on his very being and the idea of being evaluated by cold sets of eyes still made him shiver in his armor.

When he woke up he realized that he had moved two rooms and that his helmet was missing. Whatever dream had wrecked his mind tonight had been an intense one and he hoped that things had been quiet enough not to disturb the others. After a brief search he managed to recollect his armor and joined the others outside for the trip. Judging by their reaction to see them they hadn't heard anything last night so that was good. Perhaps next time he should lock his armor, sadly that was something he'd forgotten in his drunken stupor. Definitely something that wouldn't happen next time. After a quick breakfast the five of them were off to the place that Harley had given them. Even now he was still a little dubious about the information that she would give them though he wasn't entirely sure why. Mostly it was because he hadn't seen all that fancy equipment here aside from Adam's armor though it was also partly because he still wasn't sure what to expect from her. Something that wouldn't be solved any time soon most likely.

"If you hear an explosion. Run as fast as you can. With how old these places are there might be leakage in their fusion cores." He told Blade and Charon calmly before he descended down into the bunker. Slowly he looked around and found a few bits of metal that would be useful if melted down properly as well as some servos but it wasn't nearly the kind that he had been looking for. There were some weapons as well, most of them in excellent condition so they could be broken down into more useful weaponry for what they needed. "Hmm... this is good normal stuff but we're going to need different stuff." He muttered and reached for a few weapons and placed them on the workbench. "I could do a better job with the workbench at out place but this should be fine for now." He muttered and broke down the barrel of a rifle, the stock of a shotgun and the powercore of a Gatling laser.

To those present it would look like the desecration of those weapons but he knew what he was doing. He'd seen one of his brothers do this in the field while under fire once. When he was done he hefted the weapon and let the others take a look at it. "My brother Jaing called it a Concker. It's a concussion rifle. Fires a beam of energy that detonates after a certain distance. The shockwave it creates is similar to that of a grenade and will dismember those nearby and shutdown the nervous system of those a bit further away. Best part of it all... it's silent and untraceable." He said and clipped it to his shoulder, he had plans for this weapon. A short search later and he pulled another few weapons apart for specific parts and put them in a bag while muttering something about upgrades. When he got up on his feet he pushed aside covers, clearly looking for something but he didn't really find what he was looking for. "Hmm... well it was a long shot." He muttered.

He got on one knee and drew a symbol on the ground in the dust. "Have you ever been to a place that showed this symbol or a variant of it?" He asked as he got up and figured he should answer their question gazes. "My brothers and I never intended to stay in the military forever. Whenever we could we would hide stuff from missions or would sneak into facilities. Then we hid them in plain sight, in military facilities using those markings." He explained and got back up on his feet. "There should be one nearby and it should have nanolatice hidden. With it we could make a suit of armor that's similar to what the big guy there has but is a lot smaller. Think of a power armored catsuit of sorts." He said with a shrug and could see by their expression that they liked the idea of it. They took the remaining weapons and Kiran's new constructs back up stairs.

Once back upstairs he placed the Concker into Blade's hands. "Concussion rifle, will make a mess of anything at up to twenty meters. It's a sneaky weapon for when you need to take care of a group." He said and shrugged. "Call it a peace offering for pointing a weapon at you.

          _____Here we are
          __________don't turn away now



                                                        A pair of Crimson eyes watched the new arrivals from a great distance. "Interesting. These must be the people that the old man spoke of." The crimson haired woman spoke and tapped her chin slowly as she debated her options. The guards were quick to approach them and speak to them. They were going to be taken to her father to be sure and then there would be a whole bunch of politics involved. There wasn't any time for that. Now the woman loved her father to death to be sure but he was getting old which was starting to show. The Corrupted were in their realm for hundreds of years now and the royal family had fought them for as long. Faced with the fire that only the royal family could breathe the Corrupted had been unable to gain a decent foothold in the realm. Before the Corrupted arrived many had begun opposing the claim her family had to the throne but faced with how dragon fire quickly dispatched Corrupted soldiers the rebellion died overnight.

                                                        However despite the might of their fire they weren't able to eliminate the threat entirely. If they were to cleanse the invasion area they would just appear elsewhere. They came from a different place, from another realm but so far no one from the royal family had been allowed to leave the realm as they were needed to defend the world. Shyvana wanted to go though, she felt that it was the only way to break the cycle that had lasted so very long now. She suspected that her father and her ancestors had wanted things to stay like this because they could stay in power. However with trying to contain something like the Corrupted was a very bad idea, something that shouldn't be messed with. It was like a child playing with fire, you'd think the royal family would know better.

                                                        She debated her options at this point along with the consequences of the actions that she was planning on taking. When she reached her conclusion she smirked as she knew her father wasn't going to approve. Behind her the guards were reaching the same conclusion. "Make sure my father takes his medicine. He'll need it." She said and then jumped out the window. As she travelled towards the ground she changed into her animal form which transformed her female body into that of a dragon. Depending on how much power she put into it she could turn into a bigger dragon. Legends said that her great grand father could dwarf a mountain. Considering that her most powerful was half that of their castle she wondered just how strong he might have been.

                                                        For a brief while she soared through the air, loving the feel of the air on her scales while keeping a constant eye on the visitors. Little did she know that dragons existed in their world but only as mythological figures. They were in for a surprise to find out that there was more to her than just her dragon form. After she had flown for long enough she started to make her descent. Usually she was rather fast and brazen when she did this but she knew better than to startle people that weren't used to having giant beings swoop down from the sky. Once she touched down on the ground her form changed into her usual form. A beautiful red haired woman with piercing crimson eyes.

                                                        "Greetings travelers. I am princess Shyvana of the royal house of Vandari. I welcome you to our lands and will answer any questions you have." She said in a kind voice that still carried a hint of her rather wild nature. Behind her the guards that had been escorting the guests shifted uncomfortably and one of them was about to speak out before a single finger from his princess silenced him. "My father is not well and frankly at this point he would waste more time then needed. Something I'm sure you don't want."

                                        Nyx hadn't been impressed with the display that the 'official number one badass' put on. It was a shallow display from an even more shallow person. In that instance she could see that the man was just living like a boy. Acting on childish fantasies with no goal or purpose but for the sake of trying to display strength. She'd seen many such displays, from warlords to governors and she loathed each of them to the core. Fact is she made a hobby of killing them whenever she had the chance to the point where she'd make her brother pick up contracts that would allow them to do so. The fact that a maggot like him just appeared before her was like icing on the cake after a day of glorious slaughter. At this point she'd have a wild grin on her face were it not for the fact that she still didn't really know the status of her brother. The edge of desperation that it gave her just made her that much more dangerous then usual.

        _____________A FAIRYTAIL THATS FULL OF CHARM


        There were some people that absolutely thrived in the dark, that feasted of the fear that others had for it and dominated the area around them through it. Tavin was easily one of those people. He'd been raised among warmongers, people that thrived off death and destruction, a kind of people that to the surprise of many were airbenders. Not all of them were the kind hearted monks that the world was used to. But when the Dai Li wiped them out practically overnight with overwhelming might Tavin had been the only one to survive. Now he stood alone, the last of his kind but he was going to ensure that even if he went down, they were going to remember his name with fear in their hearts.

        It had taken him years but he had united the various street gangs in Omashu under him, ruling them with an iron fist as he controlled the city's underworld. From it he had spread to other cities like a cancerous cell, infecting more of the territory that the Dai Li wanted to control or already controlled. He was preparing for a special kind of war that he was perfectly suited for. Even the agents of the Dai Li could feel fear and that was what he was going to be aiming at. In the first stage he was going to send a series of simple messages. Something that would let them know what kind of person that they were dealing with. At the same time he was also turning it into a lesson for his subordinates and field agents. They too had to learn how to instill terror in their foes.

Anaeris was observing the rite of passage thanks to her uncle. Naturally he hadn't told Amber tht she'd be watching? Wh? Aside from the fit she'd have over it she knew that the act of observation changed what was being watched if the subject was aware of it. Still it wasn't just for the sake of learning, it was also to prevent things from escalating too far. Despite the way she acted she had no interest in breaking or truly harming her. That would be a waste of a good warrior and a good commander never wasted good soldiers. Still she wasn't all too impressed by what he'd seen from Amber. As far as the woman's fears went they were rather... simple, perhaps even selfish fears. During her own rite of passage she'd come face to face with the desctruction of life as she knew it in Fiore and the death of honor in the world. One could argue that she as indeed living out a lesser verion of her own perssonal hell.

She didn't judge Amber for what she had come face to face with, people's fears were beyond their control really. One couldn't choose what to fear they were simply the way that they were. All one could do was make sure that they didn't end up controlling you. As far as Amber's fears went she had easy ones to control so that wasn't the biggest issue. Anaeris on the other hand was constantly confronted with hers and she had the feeling it was getting worse and worse. "You passed that's all there's to it. There's no judgement aside from that. Your fears are your own but now they shant paralyze you. That's all that matters, nothing more." She stated simply with a shrug of her shoulders. "Now get up. Down is for the dying." She said and waited for Amber to finally get up to take her to another, smaller training area where a brown haired man was seated. "This is my nephew Jaing, he'll be showing you a few tricks of the trade. Yes, you're probably a better swordfighter then him but that doesn't mean he doesn't have things to teach you. Just shut up and listen, you can comment later." She said and settled to the side so she was out of range of the two.
