Maku let go of Shira and began wiping her cheeks despite the fact she was still crying. "No... It's too late. I've hurt too many people. It was me that tracked down Mirai and not just her. I'm responsible for the deaths of hundreds. I sent the order to every target I found. It may not have been by my hands but it's still my fault."
Shira continued patting her head "If you feel that way, then make up for your sins. If you would like, you can come with us once this is over. I am sure Death City would love to have you," she told Maku.

[ Threat: Extremely Dangerous]|[ Despair ]|[ Title: Demon of Light and Hope]|
Despair could only laugh as Zanza continued to speak, the more the human spoke, the more he showed his true color. "It is true that I am impartial, but even I have a few things that I wish to protect and it just so happened that you and your little gang here, took one of them from me. The reason why I am here is because you stole something precious from me and I want it back." Despair stated just as Zanza created his electric spears and aimed them towards him. "I see, so that is why you are here." Despair would say, cryptically. "You're just another boy, upset with the world because his parents were killed by demons and now you want revenge and seek to destroy all witches and demons. Honestly, I would have preferred something more, original." he teased. Raising one hand, Despair appeared as if he was going to attack, but he lowered it, "You aren't worth my time, besides, I am not here to fight you, only to take back what you stole. So, I will say this only once. Step aside and no harm shall come to you, your comrades, the humans around us or your home. However, should you try and fight me, I will not hold back as I am now. I will show you the difference between your weak augmentations and the true might of a demon."
Maku shook her head. "No... I don't deserve to be forgiven." She reached up and took hold of Shira's hand to gain some comfort. "But I would like to tell you why I joined the order." Maku took a deep breath to try and compose herself. "You see, when I was a child I lived with my mother, my father and my sister. We weren't very rich but we were happy. But one day a demon cult arrived at our home. They strung up my father, they raped and gutted my mother. As for me?" She stood up and lifted her bangs. The area around her eyes were scarred and her eyes themselves had been replaced with metal orbs. "They cut out my eyes and tore off my legs. Just so they could laugh as I crawled around blind. They even took the time to spread broken glass and burning embers around me. After they'd had there fun I was tied to a horse and dragged away. I was found near death, the only thing on my mind was revenge. Years later the order approached me. They said they could help me to walk and see again." Maku looked down at her Shira's hand in her own. "It's not perfect but I can see with sound. At first I was happy. I wanted to make sure nothing like this happened to another person. But I was wrong..."
Shira frowned slightly as Maku explained what had happened when she was a child as well as the answer for why she was here. She squeezed Maku's hand slightly "Everyone deserves a second chance. It's not fair that your leader is taking advantage of you guys like this," she told her with a serious expression "We can help you, I believe the Machinist Order has good intentions but the thing is that your leader is using your feelings for her own desires. If we can prove that as well as show that my friends, the demons, witches, and kishin that are with us, are good. Maybe we can turn things around so all of you can be happy and not live in fear of your own group... if that makes sense," she explained to Maku.
Maku shook her head as she stopped crying. "I understand but it won't work. Every member has there own intentions for joining, some just hate demons while others would do anything to wipe out the meisters. A few members are even willing to do anything in Saint Clara's name." Letting go of Shira's hand Maku began digging around her outfit. "I can't do much to help you but here." She held out card to Shira. "It's my security pass, as Saint Clara's personal maid I have access to all areas. It will help you free your friends. Now if you'll excuse me I have something I need to do." She stepped past Shira and walked a little distance into the corridor. "You know I never found out what happened to my sister. Maybe she's dead? Maybe not? Please find out for me... Her name was Mina, Mina Miku." She sniggered a little to herself. "My parents had a strange way with naming their daughters."
Maku smiled as she reached out and turned the dial to release the door. "I wish I could tell you where your friends are but the dungeons are sealed from my soul scan. But I wish you luck." She then turned and looked at Shira. "One more thing, I am really really sorry for this."
Arai glared at the girl who butted into their conversation "Aren't you a mere lackey yourself? You're doing someone else's job for some reward or purpose right? Or do you mean to tell me that you are the head honcho of this group? Because it seems to me like you aren't even in the inner ring of subordinates." Arai smirked as he continued, "Scared? Of course I am. I put my life on the line in everything I do, this is no different. Unfortunately, my work means that every move I make will either kill me or let me live. If that's not a horrible concept, then I don't know what is." Arai's mouth widened as Maku praised him, it wasn't like her to give compliments. He felt a little uneasy hearing praise from Saint Clara's maid, but whatever, the situation at hand was more important. "Hmph, you're nothing like I think you to be, eh?" Arai said addressing Shira, "Then tell me why your academy trains those within it to be warriors? To defend themselves and the common people? Or to hold power over others? Sending 'students' out on missions is not a means of defense, but a means of silencing your enemies and maintaining your rule over others." Arai watched as Shira walked away with Maku, who knew why she wanted to talk to her so badly, but as they left Arai felt relieved that one of their foes had left, for now. "Me? Strong?" Arai replied to Despair as he reflected on his past. "I'm not strong, I couldn't protect those I cared about and they died. I tried to become stronger still and yet I always end up losing something or someone dear to me. Until I can become strong enough to properly defend myself, I have no right to defend others." Arai gripped his open hand into a fist, "Everyone has there reasons for joining the Order. Mine is no more entertaining or humoring as the others, but I do know this, death isn't glorious or honorable, it's pathetic to see everything you strive for crushed and ripped apart as you fade away." Arai pointed at Despair, "Besides, if you're so apathetic about this, then just take whatever you lost and leave. There's no need to make such a big fuss about it." Arai said as he was oblivious to what Despair wanted, but frankly, he just didn't like listening to this guy talk.
Shira nodded at Maku "It's alright. Thank you anyway for your help," she replied before turning and taking her leave. She began walking towards where Despair and the others were. "Let's move on then... we are just going back and forth with them," she told her group.
Maku walked to the doorway and looked out. She knew what she had to do now. Clenching her fist Maku turned back and sealed the entrance behind her, heading into the network of passage ways. When she came to the first junction she ran her hand over the signs and read the braille. Taking a right she headed down the passage marked "Throne Room".
Zanza looks at Despair in a different way than before. He was confused,as he activated the cube he was holding. You have the same eyes as the woman in my dreams. I admit my history is cliché,but that's what happens when you live with hatred for so many years. I soon realized the most painful thing…… That in this world… my existence was not needed or wanted. Can you understand? Not having a dream… not being needed by anyone… The pain of merely being alive. I suppose I lost myself in anger for a moment because even you ....a demon can see it.
The woman that was stolen is precious to you? I wasn't aware demons had such sentiments. I want to protect the person important to me… I want to work for that person. I want to fight for that person. I want to make that person's dream come true… That is my dream. As is said before If possible, I don't want to have to fight you……… nor do I want you to have to fight me…… To me the city isn't just part of the Order. Every year there are a lot of children born and raised in the city I created… They live, and trust me more than anyone else to protect this place. Even if we are not related by blood, those of the upper cites like these are, to me, my most precious, most important… family. So I'll stand down this time. Arai that's enough let them go I'll take responsibility for this.Till we meet again demon. Zanza returns to normal and dispels his attack. He then activates the cube in his hand and leaves. [Exit]
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ [ Active Wavelength: Demon Repelling Discharge]|Active Augmentation: Drones]| Active Power: Transport cubes ]|
Augmentation
Privilege Perception: When invoked, the Egil's eyes emit a faint light, and a red ring appears around the pupil. While in use, this magic allows the Egil to see everything in slow motion.This works by speeding up his perception of the world around him, allowing them to react faster and execute more precise attacks. However, this magic does not affect the speed the Egil can move, only the rate at which they perceive things, so users can still be caught off guard by very fast attacks. However, after prolonged usage, the eyes begin to strain on Egil's energy, making it useful for single, short bursts before retreating them. It is normally used by Egil to track down targets who are retreating.
Drones:theses machines are not only able deal physical damage to targets, but are also able to fire rays of soul wavelength electricity as a way of dealing magical damage. As a ranged alternative, his drones can also be configured to form a powerful electricity cannon the same way. Egil is able to manipulate the electricity the cannon fires by either using his hands or kicking to fire powerful electrical blasts. This allows his attack style to freely transition between long and close range attacks.
Powers List
1. Plasma: Egil is capable of creating a spinning orb which he uses for offense and defense or channels the plasma into his body granting enhanced capabilities.
2. Madness Wavelength Discharge: Egil releases a madness discharge increasing his strength significantly.This is usually his counter measure against most opponents.
3. Demon Repelling Discharge: Allows Egil to effectively fight individuals harboring or reliant upon the quality of madness, such as Witches and those afflicted by Black Blood, as even Immortals are not immune to injury in the face of this wavelength. It's similar to The Anti-Demon Wavelength but different in instead of fighting off corruption by madness it allows the user to fight those who spread it.
4. Soul Purge Discharge:An advanced technique which combines Soul Menace with the element of lightning. This technique surrounds Egil's body and drones with pressurized soul wavelength based on the element of lightning. Apart from enhancing his arms and legs for combat, the technique allows him to instantly inject his soul wavelength to an opponent with every hit. The technique itself can be controlled and fired at opponents from with his drones.
5.Glide:Egil is able to stand on top of his drones, allowing him to stay afloat as long as he wants.
6.Phase Shift:Allows Egil to switch between battle modes.With a 5 post cool down. Lunatic Besrker: This shift focuses on an aggressive brawler-like fighting style . Egil's drones form armor that allows him to constantly pound the enemy with a flurry of punches and kicks with superhuman strength and speed.
Drone Moogle :Each Drone Egil uses is now is unique and a lot faster, Egil can switch to whatever Drone he needs to best fit the situation. In addition to Drones,Egil uses various mechanical weaponry .This shift is more ranged combat based and relies solely on drones for battle.
MechanicalWeapons:
Explosive discs rocket missile-fired from drones Drones form a mini laser cannon Spinning blade discs cube bombs electromagnetic pulse cube
Archive cube-stores data
Master Cube: a flurry of cubes that fly around rapidly and come together to form a cube assistant. The cube will attack nearby enemies on its own, behaving similarly to an NPC summon.
Repair units: This takes the form of a backpack style canister on Egil's back that deploys droids. Their hands are able to hack into most technology and correct errors in the systems and attempt to repair machinery with nano mites , although the drones are defenseless and are indeed weak. It isn't very hard to stop the process, but if target and the Egil can keep the enemy off it is effective.
Negation Cube: A frequency producing drone that causes a severe interference-like effect to communication equipment on a wide, but fairly general scale. The pulse seems to even mildly affect weaponry, and targeting systems--but it can only cause small but notable malfunctions. It seems to be identifiable only by the severe static interference that seems to occur in the visual type communication screens, and in the sound of the vocal communication screens.
Cloak Cube: A special cube designed to hide Egil. Particle manipulative devices allow for the cube to basically bend the light around it's form, and shape to a near perfectly invisible state. The device seems to linger rather then simply be turned off, and in certain places has levels of intensity to it's affect on it's surroundings...from a 'reality bending' phantom-like appearance to almost nonexistent effect. This affect can be knocked out by Emp burst,and only shields Egil from sight.
Shield Cube:Cube drones create hexagonal shields that overlap each other to form a defensive grid. Not only does this make it harder and more time-consuming for the enemy to land a successful hit, it also increases the energy absorption strength of the shield , and is useful against multiple combatants firing energy or magic blast or shielding a small group of allies at once. However, they are harder to create because they take a great deal of concentration to use in large quantities. Continual high-yield blast in close proximity to the Cubes will severely deplete Egil's own energy and cause drastic decrease in his defensive strength.
Hack Cube=Capable of scanning and wireless connectivity where appropriate,USB and TRS connector cables and a USB port are included. Egil usually uses this to mess around,and requires him to be around a lot of technology. Large cities like New York are more suitable for its use.
Holo Cube=This cube amplifies the thought waves and broadcasts them to a specific location through illusionary bodies. The images are usually refracting an array of spectral colors, much like a rainbow. Causing the illusionary bodies to distort and flicker, as if receiving electronic interference, and the users voices are altered the same way. Egil usually uses them when dealing with other machinist members when his busy.
Transport Cube:Can connect different areas through portals for a quick escape. Egil usually keeps one or two on him for a quick escape.
Scouter cubes': High powered cubes that quickly processes data sent to, and from the facilities of Egil's Lab. Cube quickly gathers data on battle tactics both from the team, and the opposing team--and acts as a detailed analyzer that allows Egil to quickly come up with battle strategies through a built in high-provability simulator.
7.Shock Spears:Egil creates several electric spears around himself for a certain amount of time. The electric spears attacks forward from behind him with great piercing power.
8.Maximum Phase Shift:Egil's Soul resonance technique that pushes his shifts to the limit.Last ten post.
- Machina Mastermind: Egil gains a new array of Drones with enhanced homing abilities. His attacks are far more powerful and reactive.
-Static Apocrypha : Egil is now capable executing Soul Purge with more force and destruction by combining his wavelengths.
OOC: Wow, that was easy. Off to a new rp location!! Bye for now guys!

Arai stood dumbfounded as Zanza had simply left, despite Shira's reappearance. "...Is... is that it?" Arai stammered clearly shaken by the turn of events. He resheated his sword feeling dissappointed and somehow relieved that he wouldn't have to fight. Arai scratched his head thinking about the recent events. Was it really ok to let them go? Technically speaking, Zanza was his superior and defying his order would mean defying Saint Clara - a clear death sentence. Although, following Zanza meant that he'd still be safe for now. After all Zanza did say he'd take the fall on this one. Who knows, maybe if the ship really did sink Arai could stow away with the civilians or go into hiding. It wasn't his best shot, but seeing all the other Machinists leave so quickly Arai wasn't that confident in teamwork anymore. "Well, I guess I'm outta here. 'Boss' orders and all." Arai's chuckled as he swerved a whole 180 on the balls of his feets and walked away.

[ Threat: Extremely Dangerous]|[ Despair ]|[ Title: Demon of Light and Hope]|
As he listened to Zanza, Despair's eyes seemed to have softened, he no longer appeared to have been in an angry state, perhaps it was because somewhere deep within his soul, there was a piece of him that remembered what it was like to be human, though that look didn't remain there for long. "Woman?" he asked. "No, you're mistaken. You took my brothers from me, my precious family." Despair told him just as Zanza and Arai stood down and left the air. As a result, Despair lowered his hand and merely scoffed, "When next we meet, I will not hold myself back." he warned before looking towards Shira. "If you are finished with your business, lets get moving. I can feel Atticus' soul and it's getting weaker."
When the two left, this made Nasiga's patience level go up in annoyance and from the lack of fighting. She didn't came to this place for nothing. "And my patience is wearying very thin if I don't get any action soon. Otherwise, I'm charging in head first. You people can get mad at me but, frankly...I could give a damn. We wasted enough time associating with these things." Pushing herself off then grabs onto the handle swinging it onto her shoulder as she was ready to go again..
