A bus? Perfect, the best time to tell Kikyo why this must be done...Maybe she is right; I can't base the entire freak nation for what one girl did...But she was so horrible and so many experiences since had pointed to their damage to society...When one person acts, the others follow...I want to think of a better way, but what choice is there? I've seen things, many things that prove how dangerous these freaks are and Kikyo fails to understand that; she hasn't been in the rugged world that freaks have created, she hasn't seen the death and suffering caused by people who just want to be 'different', is that right? Not to me...
Tylor stopped the bus with a knock on the window and the driver was quite intimidated by a man in battle armor, like he was in trouble or something. Tylor noted the bus driver's relief when he placed the bus fare into the device that took the money to get on the bus. Tylor's weight made the buses’ hydraulics shake a bit when he walked on and when he sat on the back, it made the bus jumped a bit. Tylor has sat on the opposite side of Kikyo's seat. Tylor didn't know what to make of any of this; despite the cyborg implants, the training, the battle armor, he was never prepared for how people around him were affected by the decisions he helped or made.
"Kikyo...I...I use to think like you did too, I wanted to help these abnormal fit into our world and still be just who they were, but my past prevents me from thinking like that anymore. Through my own judgment and yet my previous attitudes, I've calculated that the camps are the only solution. Maybe one day I can go over why I feel this way, but I just think now isn't the right time to express why my views are they way they are...Do you understand?"
Tylor wasn't at liberty to just tell his childhood tale on a bus, not when there were other people on it and in public. He could still picture everything from that faithful day his views on the gifted turned from special to freaks, but even then it wasn't one-hundred percent; it took several years for Tylor to develop his seemingly intolerant ways towards the freaks.

"Fine." Kikyo said, still looking out the window. "Hate them. Love them, I don't care how you feel towards them." she didn't look at Tyler while she spoke. "But, I'm only the human race leader because it gives me a challenge and thrill. I could quit at any second, but I won't. Someone has to look out for the misfits. I've had my parents killed by them. Why do I protect them? I don't know. They don't deserve to be treated differently. It isn't their fault their different. These camps are not going to happen. Not as long as I'm in charge." she smirked and glanced at Tyler. "And don't even think about trying to set up a mutiny. If I'm kind to the people with powers and abilities, who do you think would stand a better chance?" her gaze drifted back to the window.

"But at what cost Kikyo? I don't see there to be a logical reason for these freaks to be among us. If this was some step up the evolutionary chain, how come there are still humans left behind? I know they can't help having their abilities, but at the same time their abilities make them dangerous to others. I'm looking out for the safety of everyone regarding them, Kikyo. When a person becomes too different, they become an outcast; it is how our world works. There are kids out there who sit alone wondering why the others won't play with them, because they're freaks and I can't stand it. Those who embrace their gift often exploit, those who don't want it are burdened by it, is that what you really want Kikyo? To have outcasts and super powered criminals?"
Tylro had seen it all before: reading someone’s mind to steal their identity, kid's using their elemental fire powers to light neighborhood pets on fire, teenagers using their strength to be the best bullies at school, it all seemed horrible to Tylor. To him, it seemed Kikyo was maybe the leader he was beginning to doubt the leadership of. The path she seemed to be set on was almost unreachable. As long as the power variable was a permanent part of the answer, the final solution to this problem seemed permanently unreachable. Tylor however couldn’t just rebel against the very person that lead humanity. If it weren't for Kikyo, humanity wouldn’t be as organized as it was; maybe she did have a plan to get this all to work.
"I'm sorry Kikyo...I just don't want anyone to go through what I've been through...I suppose in terms of our pasts, you can handle yours better than I can handle my own."

"If someone willingly signs up to lose their power, so be it." Kikyo said, her gaze still locked on the outside world. "But if you make those camps, news channels and reporters will never give up. They'll want the scoop on every person in that camp and what they can do. Do you have any idea the possibilities then? People will torch the very object their tax dollars went to. They'll try their best to get rid of it and the people inside. What then?" she looked at Tyler directly this time.

"If the people I try protect are really that stupid, they don't deserve to live."
If the people Tylor tried to help really resorted to that, Tylor would close down the camps personally. If that came true, humanity needed to be wiped out and the new breed would take its place. Tylor always knew how stupid people were: a person is smart, people are stupid. Kikyo raised a good pint, but it was a risk Tylor was willing to take to help people, the very same people like her...If only he was able to help her so long, now Tylor was trying to make up that failure by trying to help everyone and he was scared, terrified that he would fail and at the same time fail the promise he made to her. This camp thing had to work, because if it didn't, Tylor would give up hope on the world and everyone in it. The words Tylor said were a quote from her; she said them every day during training and Tylor always kept her words close to his heart.

"Well, that's humanity." Kikyo replied, looking out the window. "If you feel threatened by something, what do you do? Leave it alone? Nothing? NO! You try and get rid of it."

I am become Death-
Jaxxon watched the two, only paying half attention. He placed his hand on top of his brother's, which were resting on Jaxxon's stomach, and shook his head. He looked at Xanthos who was resting his head on Jaxxon's shoulder and blinked. "Hey, did you catch anything they were saying? I think I heard something about hugs... I love hugs~"
Xanthos blinked his eyes open and looked at Jaxxon. "No, sorry. I fell asleep again. I'm hungry..." He looked around, then nodded. "Oh, by the way, I think just down the street somebodies getting proposed to." He looked at Jaxxon, then blinked and waved his hand over his brother's eyes. "Hey, you out of it again?" He heard Jaxxon let out a groan, then nodded. "I'll take that as a yes." He reached up and started running his finger's through Jaxxon's hair.
Jaxxon gasped and placed one of his hands on his chest, breathing heavily. "I know. The guy just got stabbed and his wallet stolen while the girl got knocked out and her purse stolen. I hate it when people get stabbed. It hurts..."
Xanthos sighed and shook his head. "Damn, and I thought something nice had happened for once... Should I make a phone call?"
Jaxxon shook his head. "No, there were two police men nearby. The mugger got tackled by one."

Ann turn to the twins, "Oh, right. Umm... Rin ask if you guys liked hugs. The reason for her hug was because she saw into my past." She listen for a while about the killing down the street. Ann felt sorry for the people and wish there was some way to help. But it was far to late for that. Other then get upset about it, she might as well change the subject. "Good thing the cops where there to stop him. In any case, we were talking about food earlier, so let go get something to eat." Ann finished with a smile.

Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player, that struts and frets
His hour upon the stage, and then is heard no more;
Jaxxon blinked and grinned. "I do love hugs~" He looked at Ann, noticed she seemed upset, then looked at Xanthos. "I think we need to learn not to talk about these things in front of others..."
Xanthos blinked, looked at Jaxxon, then at Ann, and smiled. "They'll probably fine." He looked at Jaxxon and nodded, then heard the word food and instantly perked up. He grinned a big goofy grin and chuckled. "Going to get something to eat sounds absolutely perfect if I do say so my self~!"
It is a tale told by an idiot,
Full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.

This made Ann giggle a bit. "It's ok, I'm sure their ok too. I just hate to feel useless. But lets not worry about that. Rin was the one who suggested that we get something to eat. We're ready to go when you two are."
[blah, sorry for the shortness. Couldn't think of anything.>< ]

Ace walked to the back of the bus and sat down."Tylor, not every one who is differnt are bad. Look at me, you can't get much more differnt than an Elf. Think of how usefull a mind reader would be as an enterogator."

"Or an identity thief. The point is Ace, you Naturals are alright; you technically weren't human to begin with, but the freaks are another story entirely; they threaten the very fabric of our society and their powers can threaten our laws. Naturals aren't a problem to be fixed; they're Natural, hint the name. This mutation in humans causing power growth doesn't threaten us in a way Naturals do."
Ace seemed like a good kid to Tylor; he was probably just trying to help him, but at the same time Ace probably didn’t have a clue on why Tylor wanted this all to go away and everything to return to almost normal. Naturals were in fact natural; they had just been hiding among us and thus were a natural part of human society, but freaks were a different case entirely.

"How do you know the "fraeks" as you call them aren't just the next step in human evoulution?" Ace asked."In trying to cure them you could make things worse."

"Thank you Ace!" Kikyo said, looking at him. "The point is we don't need to get rid of these people who are different. They were naturally born that way, so why aren't they considered "Natrural" too? And Ace could have a point. This could be the next step. Who knows?"
