Kor B experienced DLS's telepathy induced headache for about a couple of seconds. He had ways of getting rid of such things that were taught to him by the Tsufuls long ago. By destroying the pain receptors that were inflamed by her assault, his body regenerated new ones that didn't send illogical signals of pain to his brain. He half-listened to Scentrus's story of Demigra and his Time Breakers as it was a story he had been told by Scentrus 8 years ago in time experienced by him tho only around 4 years since Scentrus had told him it in time experienced by Scentrus. Suzi had altered the memories of the native inhabitants of the planet that had experienced Kid Buu's assault so that they'd just remember an earthquake.
Kor(Team B):"Yeah we should return to the pub as it is our makeshift HQ afterall. Once there I'll contact Dakra and the others to see if they can send some construction androids down to repair the damages to the surrounding areas. I'm sure he can make arrangements for them to appear to be subcontracted by the Amestrian Military to repair the damage caused by such things. Tho might it have been better to have them under the impression that this was an attack by a foreign military power that way future events caused by Reaper could be blamed on the same too? I have a feeling that when Reaper initiates his master plans that blaming the damage on something like an earthquake will not be possible. After all seeing as he is a conqueror of Universes that means that he most likely plans to do the same here thru some means."
(((Whoever posts next that has characters still in the area where the Buu fight took place, feel free to have the conversation be continued inside the pub or outside if you feel like having it be continued there, ok? I guess the same could go for you too Fiyah if you so happen to be the next poster by some chance seeing as your character is already there at the pub and it would work if you had in your post that Fiyah witnessed them returning continuing the conversation that they had before they arrived.)))
WhereAmI?En route to the country of Xing. Who'sWithMe?Kor, version C, and the Prince Draco. HowDoIFeel?Calm and collected. What'sOnMyMind?Curious turns of events, I cannot help but wonder what Brother could read.
Harbinger hummed quietly as he rested, his eyes held shut loosely as he was lost in meditation. He'd been like this since sitting in the vehicle, collecting his thoughts for the task ahead. He had been momentarily distracted when Aegil alerted him to the presence of MAjin Buu, or a varient of him, and had subsequently remained in the state he was prepped for combat. Upon the arrival and report of Draco, a small smirk formed at the corner of his lips. Ah Sedhor, ever the one attracted to danger and excitement."She won't be able to control him, you know. Your species, as strong as you are, are far to regimented, too hierarchical to be able to. Sedhor is attracted to excitement, even when he tries to avoid it it will find him. It is hardly in his nature to allow the fighting to happen without somehow getting involved, as it was it sounds like he threw up the Mobile Arena. More than likely in an attempt to cut off escape, a shame. Had he a full spread it may have worked."
"AS for the task at hand, Kor if you would be so kind as to acquire for me detailing Xingese customs and culture I would be most appreciative. The last thing we need on a diplomatic mission is to break a tabboo without knowing it."Thoughts
WhereAmI?Universe FMA-B32 Who'sWithMe?Kor, the Lizardette, Scarlette O'hara HowDoIFeel?Annoyed and frustrated What'sOnMyMind?*grumble grumble*
Sedhor was grumbling about stupid angels banishing themselves and stupid time traveling wads of Hubba Bubba messing up his day. IT was all truly quite frustrating for the man as he began the walk back towards the pub, too angry to focus on the cards enough to transport himself via that route. OF course what upset him the most was the lizardette princess and her words. So dismissive and upset at him for doing his work set out from the very beginning by their father.
Trust her? OF course he knew she was aware of what she was doing but that hardly constituted trust. As it was, DLS had barely earned any level of trust from him with her tea-giving gesture. Trust was earned goddamnit! He couldn't so easily trust outside the Fates like that, it went against everything he stood for. The emotions boiled over in an alleyway when a rather rude gentleman bumped into him, resulting in his head being promptly lopped off by a very upset Sedhor.
Feeling much better, he finally did arrive at the pub and cleaned his sword off to further calm down."So, any other semi sentient blocks of Trident or Jucyfruit you wanna beat the crap out of?"
WhereAmI?En route to Fullmetal's location. Who'sWithMe?Kor, version A, the Android, and DLS above. HowDoIFeel?Calm and collected. What'sOnMyMind?The data is all funky with these entities.
Aegil was calmly humming a song he rather enjoyed (Ode to Joy) as he found a seat for himself across the android and beside the one known as Kor. Thigns were shaping up to be an interresting problem, of that he was certain. The inclusion of these new beings was problematic of course, but not far from the plan's current path. He'd send the time patrolelrs a fruit basket, or perhaps a nut mix. Ah, he'd send both. HE initiated the process to do so as he sat there, pondering the question put forth by Kor.
Incident... "Of course. I believe part of the problem at hand in regards to that was dealt with promptly by the World shortly before returning to Zero form. Always so many problems in the universes..."
"However for now we should focus on the task at hand and the current obsticle of the Sins. Once we've acquired the method to their defeat, we must be prepared for the assault, either from us or them, in which to deal with Reaper. In an absolute worst case scenario we will awaken the World, and pray her power stores have built sufficiently to last through Reaper's destruction. At present all we can do is collect data and allies."Something ins't quite right. I have a bad feeling about this...
Fiyah had been idling by for a while, but when the others came through, he made sure to pay attention this time. Apparently some sort of Gum Beast had shown up as well, in addition with other stuff that Fiyah wasn't too keen on. "Well on the bright side, I am great at being distracting, there ain't a whole lot that can keep me dead permanently and I absolutely adore Saboteur Work." He said, chuckling to himself. "So what's the next step? Who or what do we need to Shake Down, Knock Out, or Blow Up?"
Posted: Fri Jan 15, 2016 10:22 am
Suzareigna phased out of the area where the 'fight' had taken place. It really wasn't much of a fight in her book. She stayed mainly away from the pink eunuch before it was pulled away by something she could only describe as evil. Once back in the pub she nodded to Fiyah. "I guess the others will be here momentarily. My brother seems to be spent and is walking, so I will just keep mental tabs on him until he returns."
Just then she got a telepathic picture of Sedhor lopping off the head of some local who had the misfortune of running into him. She just shook her head. When he got back to the safety of the pub room she turned to him and somewhat bemused asked, "Just how are the locals going to explain a headless citizen lying in an alleyway? I doubt that can be explained away by effects of an earthquake."
KorB took little time getting back to the room and she heard him ask Dakra to send androids to clean up the mess. She wasn't too thrilled that KorB didn't like the idea of letting the locals think there was a minor quake. She didn't much care what he thought, but he did make a wee bit, just a wee bit, of sense in making it appear as a military action. Then she thought about it again. "Hey KorB, about that idea of making the locals think it was a military attack, that won't work. There were no soldiers, no guns (which most citizens would expect in a military action) and no signs of alchemists being here. So, my idea works best. As for future problems with Kor/Reaper, that will be a military-type action and the citizenry will actually see soldier-types as well as us. For the time being, don't you think that keeping a low profile is best? Or, would you rather that Kor/Reaper and his minions be alerted to our exact whereabouts. It's not difficult for me to send his minions, even that humanoid-android Abaddon a mental message that it was an earthquake. I may not know where they are hiding, but their mental capacities are hardly as good as a dragon demon's, at least mine or mother's. So, why not let everyone think it's an earthquake.I may not be able to convince Kor/Reaper it was an earthquake, but a minor aftershock that causes no damage to buildings or citizenry would seal the deal. Later, when the fighting takes place, the citizenry won't be so confused."
Not waiting for an answer from KorB, the princess warrior sent a telepathic message to her mother and brother. 'I need a little help. I need to create a tiny aftershock for an earthquake, nothing too big. Have it concentrated in this area where that pink eunuch was. I already gave a suggestion to the people that all the damage was due to a quake, but KorB is giving me grief about it. So, can you two help me?'
Draco listened as Harbinger said his piece about Sedhor liking excitement and not being 'controlled'. He smiled. "I guess it's going to be a battle of wills and who is stronger at the moment. If she catches him the least bit off-guard, he won't have a chance to avoid what she will do. Remember, he is using a borrowed human body. He has to maintain control over that. And that will be just enough for my twin to overshadow him. But don't worry, she won't take any action unless she is sure that he is in real danger. As you said, he wasn't playing with a full deck. " Draco smiled at that thought. Oh the double entendre he just used. Getting into a war of words with a Fate was not necessarily a good idea, but he needed to set his older brother straight on a few things. "As for being far too regimented, that's a laugh. Sorry, but even with all the military background we have, and Suzi and I have far less than Mother, we are hardly regimented. Were you paying attention when I was playing with Abaddon earlier? That was not regimented at all. In a real battle, we will revert to our training in military tactics. But even in that, we are far from what you would call regimented. We improvise on the spur of the moment. Do you really think that The Father chose dragon demons for warriors because we could be controlled like humans? They are regimented when it comes to anything out of the ordinary. In a fight, they will stick to their training to the letter. They don't improvise, they cannot. WE, on the other hand, have training, but we were taught that the situation can change and we would need to improvise. Fear not, we know what we can do in a given situation and we are flexible."
The dragon prince sat back to relax. He would wait until KorC could get the intel on the customs of the Xingese. A little knowledge was a good thing, and to be honest, royals are royals. They like things done their way. Harbinger was right on that. What these others didn't understand, and probably never would, is that as a royal, he knew protocol and was quite good at it. There would be no protocol issues with this prince, once he knew the local customs.
Just then he got a mental message from his twin asking for help in creating an aftershock. What was she thinking? Well, they had lived in an earthquake prone area for eons now, and he knew what they felt like, but he had never created one. Still, it was an interesting idea. He shot a message back to Suzi. 'If Mother can figure out how to do it, I'm in.'
The dragon queen was following the train as it left the station from her vantage point in the clouds. She could see quite clearly from there and in the distance, some 50km in every direction from where the train was currently positioned, there was absolutely nothing out of the ordinary. Then she spotted some not-so-normal looking beings down in the area of the mischief caused by the one referred to as Buu. Her keen eyesight could tell they were not natives to the area and when she tried to read their minds, all she got was a lot of binary codes. 'Ah, looks like someone contacted the orbiting ship and requested androids to help clean up the mess. Well, at least KorB was good for that.'
Meandering along, soaring silently, she got a message from her daughter asking for help in creating an aftershock. Well, that wouldn't be too difficult. She sent a message back to both of her children. 'If you want an aftershock, all we have to do is coordinate a small attack in the general area of that scuffle we just came from. That's where everyone will assume the earthquake epicenter was because that's where all the real damage was done to the buildings. Put up your barriers and meet me in the clouds above that location. I will be there shortly.'
Knowing she would only be gone a few moments, she sent Aegil a telepathic memo explaining her need to leave for about 2 minutes and assuring him that she saw nothing in the foreseeable area. She would notify him as soon as she got back. With that done, she took one more quick look around to be sure she hadn't missed anything or anyone. Confident she hadn't, she phased out and reappeared in the cloud cover directly over the area they had previously been. Once her children were there, it was decided exactly what needed to be done. "Ok, no one can see us, and this will be swift, You see that indentation in the ground that Buu creature made? On my count, we all head directly for that spot. Fly at top speed, and when you are about to 25 meters from that spot, turn around and go a** down. As soon as we hit the ground, immediately fly back up and into the clouds. The force of the three of us hitting that spot at one time will create a mild aftershock. The ground is firm enough and since there was no real quake there, it won't do more than rattle a few remaining windows. Be careful not to hit head first or you will be knocked stupid."
With instructions given and understood, the dragon queen did a count down. She so loved doing those ever since she heard one when she was passing over a place called Cape Canaveral. The humans were sending a manned missile into space to orbit the planet for the first time. She was amazed that humans needed to do this countdown so that everyone was on the same page, so to speak. Still, she loved hearing that 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 BLASTOFF! Since then, she hadn't had many opportunities to use it, except in training exercises with her clan. So, as she started the countdown, the three dragons lined up close to one another and when she said, "BLASTOFF!" all three took a nosedive toward the town. At precisely 25 meters ( they have great eyesight and timing ), all three spun around and 1 second later, they butt-hit the ground and then flew straight up, like that missile she saw take off all those years ago.
The impact at that exact spot did its job. The ground shook for a few seconds and sent mild shockwaves to the surrounding area. No buildings were damaged and although the natives were a bit disjointed over aftershock, they didn't seem too upset. Even the androids sent to help clean up the mess weren't affected (as far as she could tell). Their binary brains didn't skip a beat in their actions, other than to balance themselves when the ground shook.
Totally pleased at the accomplishment of their actions, she told her children to return to their duties. Hopefully, this would solidify the citizenry in the fact that there indeed had been an earthquake earlier. A quick telepathic sweep of a few people that were out and about confirmed her assessment. Satisfied that the task was done, she flew back toward the moving train and took her position above, hidden by her barrier and the clouds. Knowing that the 'aftershock' would be felt by those on the train, and they might be worried about the safety of continuing their travels, she sent Aegil a message. Between the two of them, she was sure that they could mentally temper anyone's fears. After all, there was no damage done to buildings or the simple rails that the train rode upon. For now, she would just continue her aerial post and be sure that nothing and noone would interfere with the mission at hand.

Kor A was glad that Aegil's group had at least dealt with the problem in part. He also figured if Aegil's sibling, the World, had been involved in dealing with it then that means the World probably knew Scentrus. It seemed Aegil's group really did get around quite a bit.
Kor(Team B):"Yeah you're right about that. So how should we pass the time? Do you want to talk strategy? Or maybe you might be up for a game of Chess?"
Suzie was quite pleased with the outcome of the 'aftershock' she and her twin and mother created. It didn't take very long and in less than 2 minutes she was back in the pub room with the rest of her team. "Well, that should consummate the idea of an earthquake. Now, when the real fun begins, it's just going to be a military action. The two won't be considered linked." She sent a quick telepathic message to her mother and twin thanking them for helping her. Of course the thank you wasn't necessary since it was an action that was warranted because KorB didn't like the idea that she planted an earthquake into the citizens' minds. Still, she did what she felt was best and she really didn't care what any of the Kors thought. Maybe when this whole debacle was concluded, she might thank the rest of her team before she returned home. 'Home, damn, the project.' she thought. Well, she really needed an update from her lieutenant but she couldn't get a telepathic link to him. This damned universe was either too far away from home or there was a problem. She couldn't keep phasing in and out on a whim, or her mission partners might get the idea she didn't care about the mission. There was the added problem of keeping her wayward older brother Sedhor out of harm's way. Since she was having difficulty with locating her lieutenant, she did the next best thing. She contacted her mother and asked for her assistance in getting the update. If there was a hiccup in her initial project, she needed to know now.
It didn't take too long for her mother to respond to her. Everything was going as planned. As for not being able to communicate with home, DLS had advised that she not try again. Even though they could block most telepathic thoughts here, trying to do that often would surely get Kor/Reaper's attention. He was a crafty one, and although they could block their thoughts well, she didn't want there to be an unnecessary chances taken. The princess warrior agreed with her mother; what else could she do, her mother was absolutely correct. So, knowing all was well and on target. Suzi sat down and waited, and waited and waited. She hated just sitting around doing nothing, but that was how this mission was stalled. She could hardly wait to see some kind of action.
Now that the little side mission was done and his sister thanked him, the dragon prince could relax. His sister was anxious for some kind of real action and it was causing her some distress. 'It will all happen soon enough my love. Be a bit more patient. You will have plenty of opportunity for real battle.' He hoped that this would calm his twin down some. Draco, on the other hand, wasn't quite as jittery as his twin. Yes, he longed for some kind of action, but at least he was moving forward with his part of the mission. Although he doubted there would be much fighting, at least in the beginning, he was content knowing he was doing something positive. Of course, Harbinger would have the lead on everything, but a prince is a prince and will not be denied or pushed to the background.

Leon Proud, X-Universal Automation
"Aye."
"Aye, more of a threat than Reaper?" Leon knew nothing of this opponent, since it had never affected any universe within the X-Universal Faction's territory. "Aye, that doesn't fill me with much hope." "Aye, but Aegil is right. We should focus our efforts on the Reaper problem, before going and looking for the next head to bust." he then thought; "Aye, though this one did come and find us... such is life, I suppose."
Kor C had sat their playing video games alone while Harbinger was sleeping and Draco was off fighting Majin Buu. When Harbinger finally awoke and requested he gather information on Xingese customs, he decided he'd go and do the information gathering himself this time instead of asking Dakra to have it done for him.
Kor(Team C):"Sure thing Harb. I hope you don't mind if I go and do it myself instead of asking Dakra to do it for us."
Without waiting on answer from Harbinger, Kor C he locked onto the only easily detectable malevolent source of power he could sense far enough away for it to be in Xing and used Instant Transmission to go there. He appeared in the bedroom of the Xingese Emperor though not in direct view of the Emperor (Greed currently in control) or any of his concubines. He then took an opportunity of one of the servants bringing Greed and the concubines some food to exit thru the doorway of the room and enter the hallway outside. From there he found the closest window, opened it, and flew out into the city beyond the palace walls to gather himself some information on their customs.
(((I have done this to make it to where I don't have to continuously post as all 3 Kors for a while. I figured the information gathering could take a little while if done manually by Kor C himself and decided to pounce on that opportunity. Now I can focus on posting ONLY as Kor A & B for a while.)))

KorSaiyajinkami (Team B)
Kor B watched as the dragon princess made sure it would come across as an earthquake even tho he could tell from her body language that despite not openly agreeing with him she did see the logic in it. Though he dismissed it. He knew there was no point in getting into a discussion of how she could've easily made them think there had been a military presence. Though she also did speak some sense too hence why he figured it was better to just let it go with her getting her way with the civilians thinking it was an earthquake.
Kor(Team B):"So Sedhor what's this about you killing someone and leaving behind a body with a detached head? Yeah I know these dragons can be a royal pain in the a** -in both senses-, but we can't take out our frustrations on those who are innocent."
Kor B put a little thought into things and decided it might be best if the members of the team did some actual work so he decided that maybe they could split up into two subteams that would each take care of one half of the mission.
Kor(Team B):"Sedhor how about you and I keep an eye on the Bradley family to make sure Pride, who seems to have reclaimed his former body, doesn't do anything to harm Mrs. Bradley and the military personnel assigned to keep an eye on them? Suzi and Fiyah, how about the two of you keep an eye on the current Fuhrer, Roy Mustang the Flame Alchemist. And while you're doing that Suzi, how about using your telepathy to have the military add myself and Sedhor to the Bradley family protection detail?"
The warrior princess didn't take kindly to KorB's insinuation that she was the cause of Sedhor's foul mood or the fact he murdered- yes cold-bloodedly murdered- a local. Although she had killed in the past, that was all in the line of duty and never- and she meant never- killed an innocent for something as minute as bumping into her. She looked at her brother and was about to say something that would really piss him off at her when KorB suggested they actually get on with their mission. What she didn't like was KorB, again, deciding who was going to go where and with whom.
"Hey KorB, how about you letting us help decide the plans? You know that I am assigned here primarily to keep Sedhor safe. In his current mood, are you sure you can control that temper of his and see to it that he doesn't off some other poor innocent, or maybe get himself arrested for the one he just murdered? You know, he could have been seen and that would just be oh-so convenient to have his sorry a** thrown in the local jail." Her tone was not rude, maybe a little condescending, but not something that should be taken too poorly. Then again, this group was a bunch of egomaniacal jerks, and yes, she included Sedhor in that thought. "Why don't Sedhor and I stay together and you and Fiyah keep an eye on the Fuhrer? That way I can control everyone's thoughts better. Besides, the Fuhrer is a military man and an expert at controlling fire. That's just the sort of thing that could get me into trouble. You know, fighting fire with fire if things get dicey. As for the Bradley family. Having a female there might be a good idea. Too many men might give her a feeling that something terrible is going on. Now, we wouldn't want that, would we? Sedhor and I can handle the family. So why don't you fighting men take on the fighter.?"
Suzi was quite sure that KorB would not like her idea, but she did have a few valid points. If there was trouble, she could easily handle anything at the family home and Sedhor, well, he was of some use in that regard- some.
"I don't mind feeding thoughts into their minds, that's something I can do from here." Suzi closed her eyes and concentrated on the military installation they were all going near. She encapsulated the area and dwelled on only administrative personnel, including Mustang and his immediate subordinates. 'There are four new faces arriving today. They are highly skilled military personnel and are assigned to guard the Bradley family. There will be three males and a female.These four have the highest security clearance and are classified in their missions. Listen to what they say their orders are and do not question them.' She sent this message a few times to be sure it sunk in.
She focused in on Mustang. 'You have requested four special operatives. Two will come to headquarters, two will be sent to the Bradley home as extra guards. Inform your people that they are not to bother them. Do not question them when they arrive, just set the two who come to headquarters in an out of the way office. They know their duties and should not be disturbed. The other two will go directly to the Bradley home.'
It was amazing how easy it was to manipulate their minds. Being regimented to accept orders without question made her job so easy. Once she was certain that her telepathic messages were ingrained him their minds, she turned to Sedhor, basically ignoring KorB. "It's done. I let everyone know that 4 highly classified persons are coming to town, 2 to go directly to Bradley's and 2 to headquarters where they will be given an office to work from. We are expected at our proper locations. No one will question us as to why were are there. Now, shall we go?"
Before leaving, Suzi transformed her armor into what she had seen as military attire; giving a little twist to be sure it fit properly. "I'm all set, what about the rest of you?"

Kor B agreed with her that she might not be the best opponent for someone who fights with fire, so he decided that the two subteams he created would swap locations for their assignments.
Kor(Team B):"Well it is rather obvious that Sedhor is angry with you and your family. He is a powerful warrior with in his own right, yet you speak down to him. Don't you think you'd be angry if you the positions were reversed and you were the one constantly be talked down to like a helpless child? Though I do agree that you may not be the best person to fight against the Fuhrer were he to end up seeing thru our little deception. Also you make another good point that a female touch might be helpful for the assignment of protecting Mrs. Bradley and her military guard from the newly reborn Pride who is once again in control of the 10 year old Selim Bradley. So you and Fiyah can go to the Bradley Mansion and join the security detail of the Bradley Family. Myself and Sedhor will join head to military HQ to 'protect' the Fuhrer tho I don't think he needs our protection, but it couldn't hurt for us to assist him when Wrath returns to reclaim his throne as he most likely will do."
With that said Kor B used his Magic Materialism ability to summon up 3 Amestrian Military Uniforms for himself, Sedhor, and Fiyah. It was obvious that Suzi wouldn't be needing him to summon up one as she had already fashioned herself in one. After all 3 of them got dressed up in their Amestrian Military Uniforms, Kor took Sedhor to the side and spoke to him alone.
Kor(Team B):"How about we walk over to Military HQ? I'm sure you could use the time to gather yourself together and cast away any remaining residual rage you may be feeling. Also it might not be good for us to teleport into Military HQ. We wouldn't want to do anything to blow the covers that Suzi got for us so early on, right?"
WhereAmI?En route to Fullmetal's location. Who'sWithMe?Kor, version A, the Android, and DLS above. HowDoIFeel?Calm and collected. What'sOnMyMind?The data is all funky with these entities.
Aegil hummed quietly in contemplation. How best to deal with time, in truth he had expected very little would be required of strategy, they were going to communicate with a sort of scientist after all. If he needed proof of what they said he could easily enough provide, and surely someone with any regard for evidence would go along with that. So there wasn't much need of planning ahead required.
However the offer of a game of chess, that could prove amusing."It has been long since I could indulge in a game of chess. Perhaps I will take you up on the offer, Kor. Though I don't quite see a board, I presume you have one?"
