"The senshi have the crystals. Camelot was the only high ranking knight I knew. He had the sword. I regret putting him though the purification. He had faith things would change, but I was still the same. I still killed. I still wanted revenge. I still felt nothing for the senshi around me aside from the ones I had once recruited against the DMC. A few who knew the war enough to understand how things worked. I hope maybe one day I can bring them to our side." He missed them. Scylla for one. Venice as another.
"I don't know if any of the ones I knew would talk to me now. Some don't know who I am since I look differently. The ones who once followed me don't want to associate with me after everything happened. I have even few people I can talk to then in the past."
"He might still have feelings for you. He was binded to you. Maybe that connection is still there. Just because he didn't want to be a youma doesn't mean he might not hate the Negaverse. But if he forgot everything then it could be a double-edged sword. One one side not knowing anything means he wouldn't know his last and be easier to convince. But if he has no memory then he might not trust anyone from our side and be hard to talk to. Do you need help? I was told by the Queen to find people like me." Though he felt it was more in line with bringing back or killing traitors by any means necessary. This was a trickier situation.

"So rank is needed then. But not for that these ones did...none were royal. Nothing above second stage. So a power they can access." Tapping his fingers on nothing but air he was thoughtful but smiled at the other. "I didn't think changing sides would change you. I think I'd be much the same...perhaps worse of temper. The other side is so disorganized I think it would annoy me." It might even have him shouting or threatening people. For someone his side to be in another persons face he was sure it would make an amusing sight to see.
"You could try. Some may - as I did. Some may not. Some may but perhaps would feel bad that you returned home." To the Negaverse. It was obvious Wolframite belonged on their side, no matter the uniform he wore. He was one of theirs.
"He knows me. He knew me enough, even as a knight, that he pleaded for those senshi not to harm me - that I was good. That I'd never hurt him on purpose. He knew me to care for him, But to be on the ground, in agony, and to have someone pleading for his safety. It had cut deep in so many ways.
"You know what..." Smiling at the other he nodded his head, a sparkle his slate hued eyes. "I'd like your help. I always did want to work with you again. I think you can help me find him, in time, and bring him back."

hit own tail moved a tic faster at the acceptance to his help.
"I am glad. I've been looking for a bit more to do. Aside from training and errands, I haven't had many other responsibilities. I've felt a bit unfocused what without hunting down the Dark Mirror Court anymore. I miss it - in a terrible way I guess." He had given up that bone if revenge but it left him lacking something else to sink his teeth into.
"I think if he knows you, maybe just finding him and talking to him first, away from those senshi, will give you some leverage to bring him over. Offer him the promise he won't ever be youmafied ever again. That he will be protected and won't suffer any backlash for purifying. That you miss him."
"I can ask around to the knights I knew. Maybe they will help me. We didn't exactly hate one another. They didn't even know the gravity of what I've been up to lately. I can play harmless and see if they will offer me some information. They are disorganized which helps in keeping them from having any superior telling them what to do."
He could talk to the Ganymeade nights and fake some kind of aob story if a friend who wants to talk to their lost beloved.
"Strange. Back before I was the general training you. Now it's the other way around. Funny how life works."

"Then I'll let you help me, seeing as it helps you. You have also been there and back again. Something I'm hoping to do with Bazzite. You might help more than I can due to that." It was true, if he thought about it that way. Wolframite might be able to paint a very good picture for Bazzite, of acceptance and of being able to change sides again.
"I think having you there, even if just in the wings, may help. It may answer some questions he may have about changing again, things I know nothing about. If, when the time comes, you want to be there." He hoped the other would, just in case. This was a delicate thing and something which meant a lot to him. In a way it would be a redemption even. He'd had too many mess up's over time. Nothing so sever though....
"That is true. They also don't have it where they would be telling each other about you going around looking for information. They really will be their own downfall. It's a wonder it hasn't happened yet." He was rather surprised. He could only blame it on the numbers of senshi and knights in the city really, they had too damn many of them. If only there was a way to wipe a large chunk of them out in one go.
"I'd hardly say I'm training you. I'd say we're working together to further a goal - as a team of sorts. Former mentor helping someone they once trained. I can't think of you as a lieutenant and lesser then myself." Shrugging his shoulders he found himself laughing softly. "You've been around far too long for me to think of you as lesser in rank or to not show you the respect I would a fellow General."

"If it helps bring him home, then I'd be happy to be there." It would help Bazzaite, Benitoite, and the Queen all in one. There was no downside to offering anything he could to being him back. He was also curious if it was fully possible and if the corruption would have any affects on the other.
His pace slowed and stopped as he regarded the General. "General. I'd like for you, for my sake, to see me as a new recruit. I might have been here a long time, but I made many mistakes and I influenced many officers to follow my stupid actions and desires. I misguided them. I misguided myself. Whatever I had done before doesn't make up for what I did. I need to rearn that respect all over again. I'm a lieutenant and a half-youma for a reason. I am going to do better this time around so if you could be hard on me, I'd appreciate it."
"I'm also new to my changes. I have to train to be as good as I was, with my new body and without my old weapon. With my new eyesight and senses."
"You are a general. A higher ranking officer. I will treat your commands and words as much as if you were my direct superior. You earned your respect and power. I would not want to tarnish that by pretending I'm of equal standing."

"It might help." It very well might. If he was going to try this he needed to do it right, he'd only have one chance as far as he figured it. He'd need to call someone in to finish the job anyway. He couldn't corrupt him back to the Negaverse. Their Queen was the likely bet.
Coming to a stop as well he turned, slowly, to look at the other. "I can try but it is hard. You've been around longer and still know more than I do. As for mistakes...I've made plenty as well. " Closing the gap between them he took his time, gloves coming off, slender digits untucking his shirt and lifting it. He had ink covering his skin. Ivy weaving this way and that around his torso. It wasn't just his arms but it went up to his arms and down to just below his elbows. On his side, down low, was another one. 'noblesse oblige' with a fleur de lis. "The ivy...for Bishofite. I corrupted him by force...and he turned out to be a mistake. He almost killed officers..almost caused a massive issue with youma...lied and used me to help him in his plans. He wound up being made into a half youma. I failed and allowed myself to be used. Before him was Bazzite." The fleur de lis, and words, he pointed to.
Pointing to his back, reaching wound to do so. "I summoned a corrupted, one of mine, into a fight she wasn't ready for. I had hoped she and her magic could stop Castor down in Negaspace during the invasion. It almost cost me and her our lives on my gamble." Then he showed his own hand where it was scared. "She tried to kill me recently, using that same magic against me." He'd made plenty of mistakes, things some might not see as such. He'd never listed them all the anyone. People knew some of them...but not all of them.
"I may not have influenced many...but I still did enough damage to the few I touched and influenced." At least he saw it as such, and always had. He worked to better himself, at least he tried, but he was still human. He was still growing in so many ways.
"I understand being new to your changes though, and needing to learn your new form." Nodding his head as he lowered his shirt, covering ink and scars. "I'll treat you as a lieutenant around others. In private I'd like to show you some respect. As much as you'll allow. And treat me as a person...faults and all. Around others do as you must - as we both must. It's what I'd ask of my own team. Is that acceptable?"

There wasn't much warning when Beni decided to lift up his shirt to show off his pecs. It came without warning that he was left taking a step back wondering when things were getting this hot outside before he grappled with the situation that Beni was not making a move but making a point.
The tattoos, while symbolic, were beautifully well done, and snaked around stretched muscle and scarred skin as they wrapped around his toned body. Beni was toned bit short and petite like him which meant they were about the same level, and while the message floated through his ears, it was muffled by the blood rushing below.
I need to get out more cause ******** cleared his throat as it had tightened a bit though he felt much hotter than before. He was thirsty in more than one way now.
"I suppose we can agree on that. I had no idea you had such a hard time with your recruited. Do you regret it all? Do you not want to do it again?" He asked.
His ears went flat. "I was there during the invasion. Sorry but, I did fight then. Against us. I hated Metallia too much at the time for denying me my revenge. For ordering us to work with the DMC. I regret that decision."

"I wish I had not brought in Bishofite. I'd have been more careful in powering up as I did that night and not been seen. You'll find I tend to, on occasion, act more on emotion than thought." And as a General there was no one likely around to reign him in at those times. They were rare but most ended him with some sort of an issue.
"Right now my team are scattered...I've not heard from them, even when I try and reach out to them. Their progress...." He let that drift off, his words fading, it was obvious where he was going with that. "One has made General." Something he was proud of but it wasn't much. "Bishofite did as well...but considering his behavior and take on things...I'd almost, if I knew more, put him level with those senshi who hurt you and Tanzanite. Seeing as I don't I'll put him a bit below them...in terms of his actions towards others."
Biting his lip then he shook his head. "The corrupted who attacked me...my cat found her. I thought better we bring her in than the white moon. I should have handed her off to someone else right away, knowing her dislike of my actions. I didn't...and then I risked her life. I'd have done things in a different fashion with her but I'd have still corrupted her." Better than the enemy gain her and her magic. "Especially knowing her magic. She can cancel another persons magic." She was useful, really useful.
"I knew you were there." Petting the others ears gently. "I saw you...and I wouldn't have fought you then unless you came for me..unless given reason." Unless Metallia ordered him to or another higher ranked than himself. "I know why you changed sides and I knew why you were there. I can't put myself in your shoes to fully understand it though." So he'd understand as much as he could and accept it as much as possible.
"You're making up for that. You're back."

"I'm level with those same people. The Blood Moon Court." He said, knowing he had last that line back when he was a knight. It had been his breaking point and the lowest for him.
The pet should have been humiliating but it was instead out of genuine concern and comfort. It was akin to someone stroking your back or running their hands through his hair.
It did not help his previous thoughts however.
Was Beni single?
"I'm glad to be back."

"The difference however is knowing you were wrong and making up for it. Bischofite would never. You are and I assume some of the Blood Moon Court did as well. Some people grow, whether from mistakes or other things. Some people don't grow and instead fester and stagnate. Growth comes for some. Anything he would have done would have been the same destructive behavior, it wouldn't have ended well for our side in the end. He was being used by an intelligent youma." As smart as he'd been the General had become someone elses puppet and had paid for it, in the end he'd been killed.
"I'm glad you are back as well. I an't wait to see you a General again. Now, shall we find some people to drain from? Or perhaps something to cool off with first?" Since it was still a warm night and neither of them were dressed for it, and he didn't much care for showing off all his ink and scars to every civilian walking about the city tonight.

"I could kill for a drink right now. Wanna hit up a 7-11 real quick before we find more people? If not then I'm finding a water fountain to jump in." He joked.
Looking around, he checked to see if the coast was clear and then glamoured into that of his once-human self, minus the once blind eyes.
"I can treat you if you want. I might get a freeze pop too. They don't have ice cream in the barracks."

"We can go there - on me. Just let me know what you want to drink and I'll get a freeze pop for you also." He hadn't an issue in picking the other up a few things, money wasn't much of an issue for him. Even when he went on a spending spree.
"Oh, well we can go together then." Since the coast was clear he powered down. Looser clothing, that was a near sheer fabric for a shirt, and jeans left him a bit cooler than his bulky uniform.
"I wonder if the barracks would be cold enough, or could handle a freezer, so such things could be kept for officers." Something to perhaps look into. "If a freezer could be kept down there I'd cover the cost of one. Something for the officers down there...a creature comfort."

Winter, as Wolframite was called in disguise, was much the same he was in his past life. A short man with boyish features, vivid green eyes, pale skinned, and jet black hair. He was skinny though had muscle tone. He wore a soft red shirt, navy hoodie unzipped, and khaki shorts with sneakers. A thin, black strap of a collar was about his neck.
"There is a cafeteria and common area. There are fridges. It's just that you could have stuff taken. I've seen some people keep a minifridge in their room to privately keep food there. I've been slowly getting things to furnish my room." He had so far gotten new bedding, some furs, and a small TV with a DVD player. It allowed him to finally watch TV instead of just sitting in his room bored, reading the same few books he could find.
"Been a lot easier to get things now that I have a glamour. It's just doing the odd jobs and saving. Most people don't keep cash on them as much when energy draining too." He sighed. It was better to hunt the rich at times who felt they were immune from muggings and kept cold cash on them.
The glow of the convience store hummed and it was good that cities always had many around. The doors dinged as they came in.
He moved to the glass cases to get a drink.

"Makes sense. Anything in an open area, available to everyone, will allow for things to be taken. Just as with a job and a break room fridge." Which really, in an organization like the Negaverse was not right. They should be a bit more disciplined and not go taking other members s**t.
"I see....and a mini fridge is not likely high on the list of things needed in your room." Nibbling his bottom lip his head nodded once. "Well, that's easy enough to handle. I'll cover that and you won't have to worry then." After all Wolframite had no choice but to live down there. He shouldn't have to worry about others taking his food stuffs. Especially when he likely had more years served in this war, no matter which side he'd been on, than anyone who might even consider taking his food.
"You look like this." Nodding his head as he went to get himself a drink. Rather than water, which was a healthy option, the blond went for a juice instead. Something with some flavor and more than just water, it was too boring right now in his opinion. Standing, on tip toe, to reach for the drink he wanted. Sometimes, rarely at this point, he wished for more height.

"You don't have to do that for me." He said, feeling a bit spoiled recently and wondering if this went back to Beni's respect for him or just pity over the living situation he was in. He wasn't used to being give gifts by others, and still had a hard time when Nubi and Mali wanted to treat him out to dinner.
"I guess it is. I don't have much memories of when I was like this. Little memories here and there. They say that typically you look like how you did. That or I don't have enough imagination to make me a supermodel." He joked.
He needed something cold but sweet and grabbed a Sprite and then moved to the other. "Wanna boost?"
