Welcome to Gaia! ::

(I accidently deleted the old one so here are the most recent post.)

Piko

Fredrick watched with great interest as Micah and the other party faced off, despite the preparations he was going through with Pan on the other line. At last he descended and chose to not face Micah and instead face the two standing against him. The metal disk below him once more hovering just above his hand the private detective smiled a bit nervously. "Man...you guys sure know how to make a persuasive argument. Sure I'm against getting blown up and having the earth go with me as much as the next guy but..cut the guy a break...he just came back from the dead and got dumped by his girl. Though I'll admit this has gone way out of control." As he spoke the metal orb in his hand sank into the ground and vanished and despite the fact that Fredrick was more than sure that at any moment he could die he stood firm. He had a promise to fulfill after all.

Fredrick turned his attention to Kain and held his gaze for a moment before tossing the still functioning cell phone in his direction. "Heads up!" Fredrick called out, his expression a detached form of seriousness. "My employer wants to speak to you. Oh yeah...and by the way. The name is Fredrick Bacilica. And that girl you're all obsessing about...yeah...she broke my heart too. A long time ago... that girl..no...I'm sure she's a woman now. Her heart is just too big for a world like this. Especially when she tries to push away the people she loves most in order to protect them." For a moment Fredrick's eyes swept over to meet Micah's before he smirked once more and turned back to the two members of Black Rose.

Fredrick finally raised up his arm in a fighter's posed and flicked his finger up to flip both men the bird just as an exact metal replica of Draega herself rose from the earth, as she would have raised through it herself, as if from water. "I normally don't like fighting dirty but I'm getting paid a pretty large sum to do just as I'm told so...I figure I might as well."

{{I am SO going to get my a** kicked for stealing onto Neross' account. ><}}




Kain

He'd begin with a slight chuckle at first, then a bit of a laugh as his lips would begin to spread; he'd even need to cover his mouth with his left hand, still holding Ragnarok. Finally, he'd lose his ability to contain it and just erupt with a cackle, almost kicking his feet as this man spoke. His role with Micah, Kain's that was, was over. Any chaotic energy Micah could and would release now had paths, and he knew damn well Riot could deal with him from this point. Thus, he'd set Ragnarok down for a moment and slowly clap his hands and rise to his feet as this mock-Draega came in to play.

"I'm impressed Mr. Bacilica. You've got guts, that's for sure. I wouln't spew you the line that you might instead be an idiot -" He'd then point to Micah. "- because currently he's got the title. But, I think it'd be fair to warn you that...well, I'm not going to fail. I've removed the reactor from existence, and if every other threat in the world wants to gather here at once for me to exterminate, then I say welcome!"

He'd take notice of the pose the man took, and the mock-Draega. Both eyes would take on their demon and cursed forms, and he'd once more snicker while shaking his head this time. "Was this your employer's idea? I mean, hell..." He'd rub the back of his neck with a smirk. "If Micah loses it n' no one stops him, then he'll lose all of his research!" He'd summon Ragnarok back in to his left hand and take precise aim on this mock-Draega's forehead and grin. "And you, Mr. Bacilica, wouldn't receive a dime. Both of you ought to be asking what you could be doing to help me instead of putting on a show for me; Micah's insecurities are enough of a show." Finally he'd squeeze the trigger of the massive gun, releasing a 454 Casull Round (twice as powerful as a 44 magnum) customized to 13mm explosive steel rounds alloyed with bit of oxygen, which in turn would turn the explosive round in to a fireball in the end.

"Your relationship with the Lady Draega, Mr. Bacilica, is none of my concern. In all honesty, I really don't care how you've failed. And yes, I promised the Lady Draega I, specifically, wouldn't kill Micah. But she knows well enough that Riot's a whole other story. And if you and the FACTION REMNANTS in the air and around us want to get in the way, then I'll deal with you personally, though I might need to cut funding, supplies and security for your employer. See what he has to say now, friend to Draega."

Tori

Tori flew in low, not daring to expose the Cane to such heat. She ran up to the site and winced. Even through the suit, the heat was like a scalding summer day. "Micah!" she called. "Micah!" she couldn't see him. "Damnit, you human torch, where the hell are you?!" she couldn't see a damn thing in the haze of the heat.

Fredrick merely watched and twinged only slightly as the head was blown off his Draega replica. And as Kain continued talking the red-haired detective could only keep thinking over and over again, 'Any time now Pan.' However, the second Seth arrived Fredrick nearly swore. Still he turned back to Kain and grinned a bit nervously. "I don't know about guts...but I do have to say that I'm not doing this for the Faction. Never was a member anyhow. I only do exactly as I'm told." he said with a smile that slowly became more calm and more cool, though now he was talking only to steam.

Turning away from the steam and the now headless Draega replica the private eye turned to face Micah. His expression regretful and a bit stern, like a father who is disappointed in a son. He reached out a hand to Micah, the metal orb floating just above his palm. "My boss sent me to find you. And you know...at first I was a bit excited to meet you at last face to face but....pointless destruction isn't going to heal the pain. And you're an idiot if you think that going out with a bang is going to make all your half-assed emotional problems go away." Fredrick stated clearly, his voice reprimanding though still attempting to be friendly. "I didn't come here to kill you. I came here to help you figure out a way to steal your girl back. Also...I'm getting paid." He added the last bit with a nervous and goofy grin.

However Fredrick's grin fell away into one of anger and worry as he looked beyond Micah to the figure of a small red-headed child, who wore a large lab-coat which could have also have served as a straight jacket, as well as a pair of goggles that hid the kid's eyes. A large, Cheshire like grin was spread across the child's face and although the child was only a little over three-feet tall, he was still tall enough to come up to Micah's hip, which is where he stood now.

"How touching." Pandaras mused, cocking his head to the side as he seemed to be reaching into his sleeve. "...but I don't believe I was paying you to fix his problems. I was paying you to deliver a message and to establish a connection. However...it seems that the circumstances at late are not beneficial for completing such an objective at this time. However, you have been quite useful in my cognition of the situation as well as the behavior and actions of the U.H. known as Micah. Which will be very significant to my research, studies and experiments. Ah...now then..." the child finished, pulling out an odd looking device, much like a cross between a tazer and a yo-yo. Nodding to himself, as if coming a conclusion or agreeing with something said Panderas looked to Micah with a inquisitive smile.

"...You would bestead me by cooperating in a nonviolent and peaceful fashion." And then the scientist pressed a button near the blunt edge of the device sending an electrical current visibly rushing across the long prong-shaped tip. "However you may resist if you see fit. Though I am sure you will find such efforts to be futile at best."

Alex watched as Micah pulled all the energy spheres into one. Her hand followed the cord around her Neck to the dog whistle that hung from it. If this was Micah, then he had completely and utterly lost it. She thanked the fact that her ties to him were nothing more then a short friendship, like that between any boss and employee. The small rattle of metal, forced her to realize that she was shaking and she instantly took a deep breath to calm herself, then brought the whistle to her lips. She had heard of something before, scientist testing a device that used sound waves to cause atoms to stay somewhat stationary. She wasn't entirely sure if the same principle would apply to the ball of energy that Micah held, but she figured that if he threw they were screwed, and if her sound waves screwed with it the outcome was the same. She figured she'd wait to see how things played out. She recognized teh power players on the field, as it were, and just crossed her fingers that things didn't go sour. "Please don't do something stupid Micah." she asked quietly, not loud enough for him to hear her.

Alex stared at what, or rather who, formed next to Micah. 'Thats...' she almost dropped the whistle from her mouth, recollecting her thoughts she remembered to hold it in place, and resisted the urge to send a sonic boom in the direction of Kain. Again, she knew the power players, and he sure as hell was one of them. she clenched her teeth against the metal of the whistle and continued to wait.
