Francis tilted his head, taking out the pack of cigarettes he had, getting one himself before holding it out in offering, He asked simply as he took out the lighter with his other hand, lighting his own cigarette. He just really needed to know everything that had happened, especially with how much it upset Arthur.

Scout nodded his head lightly as acknowledgement to her name. He walked carefully towards Medic and the large group near him. He wasn't hurt. It was more like he could see the Ubercharge waiting to be depolyed. That Ubercharge could make all the difference in the world, no matter how short it lasted. Besides, if Eliza didn't feel well, Medic could look after her... Well, alright, maybe the other German carrying Medic could. "What do you guys think? Should we listen to 'em? I personally don' trust 'em too much, even if they saved our asses."
Soldier growled lightly as the transport vehicle came to them. He was tempted to shout out, And what to you plan to do if we don't, maggots?", but he knew that some of the other members wold not appreciate it too much. Instead, he gripped his rocket launcher tightly.
Luka undid the cloth on her elbow and licked it lightly before she used it to lick the dried blood from the spot she had been wounded. There was a scar for now, but that could be fixed at the floating city. "I also do not trust them, but they will probably force us to go, any ways. Might as well do so without making them angry." She finished cleaning herself off before she started headed towards the transport vehicles, her whip in hand so that they knew she didn't want to be messed with or man-handled when she got to them.
Meiko looked around and found what she was looking for. She ran to her microphone stand and picked it up. She came back as Luka was talkin and nodded lightly. "I kinda have to go wth Luka on this one. Better not make them mad after we've seen what they can do." She turned to Souji and quickly walked over to him instead of following Luka. "Hey, think we should go with them. Luka's going up to them, but she may or may not just be doing so to make sure they don't get upset..."
Haku listened, but she was still nervous. What if they did somthing horrible to them all when they got there? Without realizing it, a dark, depressing aura started to surround her as she looked down fearfully. She needed a drink... Or a hug. A hug would make her feel better, too.
((I need ot get up early since my school thing is at 9 in the morning (-_-), so I'm gonna go to bed early. Control my characters as needed. XD ))

Spy's eyes instantly went to the cigarette. <"Am I to assume that if you don't like the answer I give, I will not get that? Because bribery really is one of the best ways in dealing with any sort of spy."> If Francis was talking about the night Arthur and Spy had spent together, and wanted an explanation for it, well... That had been a long day.

Elizaveta just kept her arms around Scout, keeping herself held onto him as to not add anymore dead weight than necessary. She stayed quiet this time, wanting to see things develop before saying anything further.
Francis tilted his head, He may have been harsh for himself, but it did tick him off a bit that he would have to go through such lengths to just find out what happened. He said simply.

((Anyone who isn't Mushy can pretty much ignore this.))
In all honesty, it had been a bit of a joke, because Francis was trying to get information out of a man who based his very life on stealing and selling information, but he wasn't going to turn down an entire pack and a lighter. Although, it did not look like things we going to go his way. <"First, you must understand, it was a very long, tiring day. We had just gotten back from that space station, just gotten a clean bill of health after being so badly poisoned by radiation. You may have felt a month go by, but for me, it was only a couple days after being rescued from the Federation of Quasar base. So what happens first, after I get one of my suits back on and decide to explore the city? My apprentice rushes up to me, crying that her parents and the children in the orphanage they ran had all been murdered."> Spy waited a moment for that to sink in. Quite a stressful day already, but that wasn't even half of it. <"I try to calm her, do what I can to comfort her, and tell her we need to inform her sister. What happened next, I still don't quite understand... There were two spirits inside Faya. The other one, a witch I suppose, took control of my apprentice, and then flat-out told me what her plans were. I was shocked, you cannot fault me for that, and before I can do much, she turns back into Faya. The witch, Xuxa, could control Faya's memories, and so it would have been pointless for me to try to tell her something was wrong. So instead I lie to her, tell her I need time alone, and that her lessons are postponed until further notice. Now, I know, I know, this doesn't seem like it is connected, but trust me, it is. I left, and I went straight to Emmet to tell him what had happened."> A lie. He had disguised as Scout, and talked with Matthew a bit, followed them around after the real Scout showed up, but did leave soon after hearing their plan was to blow up a toilet. Francis didn't need to hear that part of the story, there was no harm in leaving it out. <"He told me to do nothing. Nothing! And even went so far as to tell me not to get attached to her."> That part certainly didn't go as planned. <"I was frustrated, beyond frustrated, stressed out for at least three reasons already. You would have been, too, of course you would. But that is not the end of it! When I left, I wandered the halls, and what should come hopping up to me than a little, sandy-colored rabbit. I did not know it was Arthur, how could I have? I didn't believe it was possible. But I did recognize there was something strange about the rabbit, I am not as unobservant as your English friend thinks. Before I can do anything, a child, that Link boy, comes running up, screaming about how he had to 'catch the bunny' or something equally stupid. So I took the rabbit, cloaked, and went down the halls, went into the first open room I saw. Coincidentally, it was Arthur's room. I worked out that this wasn't just some strange rabbit, but Arthur, and, well, this is where it gets embarrassing... Now, you can't blame me for this, I thought I was losing my mind! And with everything that had happened, I thought I should have some fun. What is the point of being insane if you can't even enjoy it? So, I... I threatened him. He had treated me like complete trash for the short amount of time we had spent together, how could I not toy with him a bit while he was vulnerable? And don't lecture me that he can't keep his mind when a rabbit, I didn't know that! I come from a world without magic, there is no way I could have known. Continuing the story, however, I picked him up at some point, and I apparently held him a little too close to my face, because... because he bit me. Right on the nose! He nearly bit it off, and I'm sure you remember that pain but not knowing where it came from. Now, can you imagine a poor mortal, stressed about being tortured and working side-by-side with the man who did it, finding out his young apprentice not only lost her parents, but was also being possessed by some sort of evil spirit, having been so terribly sick, being told to not do a thing, you can imagine, can't you, how terrible I had been feeling? And just when I try to have a little fun, my nose gets nearly bitten off! So, I... I threw him. Reprehensible, I know, but I was in more than one kind of pain. And then I threw my knife. Don't say anything, I know now how terrible an idea that was! I was looking for antiseptic, and all I hear is screaming, so I turn, and I see that... Well, you are not going to like to hear this, but I see that I had pinned Arthur to the wall by his ear. It was an accident! I didn't even mean throw it at him, it just happened that way. When I see this, I go over, I set him free, dress his ear a bit, and then we start working together. I helped to change him back, and then I left."> He left out the parts with Hiruko and Navi. They didn't seem important.
<"I went to the hospital next, because the whole time I had done nothing for my nose. Then I got changed, because there was blood and rabbit fur all down the front of my suit. After taking the filthy suit to the cleaners..."> Spy paused a moment. Had he ever gone back for that suit? Whoops. <"After leaving the suit with the cleaners, I decide, why not try and salvage what's left of the night? I thought about visiting a bar, maybe finding a pretty woman or handsome man to spend the night with. Instead, what do I find? Arthur, more drunk than the time you and I spent the night with him! He was wandering around the streets, in nothing but that little apron. I tried to do the good thing, Francis, and take him back to his room, but he refused, and you of all people should know how stubborn that man can be. I figure, if he is going to stay out anyway, I should go with him, make sure he does not get hurt. I wasn't being malicious at all, I was looking out for him. What kind of person would I be to let a country wander around, drunk and part-rabbit, all on his own? So we go together to a bar, and I only had one glass. Arthur was being rather obnoxious, and I don't quite recall if we were actually kicked out or we left before it got to that point, but either way, Arthur had taken a bottle with him and I had convinced him it was time to get back to his room. He was... actually cheering me up quite a bit, you know. Even if he didn't mean to. I don't think I laughed more that night than I have the entire time I've spent here in Quasar. Do you know he has a record player in his room? We listened to a Beatles album, I can't recall which one. He offered me more wine, he said he just found the bottle, so I decided to stay. For the alcohol, the music, and the surprisingly good conversation. I took my jacket off at one point, it was getting too warm to wear. Ah, I did apologize for hurting Arthur's ear! When in his room with him, I took the time to really clean it up, make sure it wouldn't get infected. I am not the terrible person Arthur tries to make me out to be when he's sober."> A definite lie. Maybe. It was getting harder and harder for him to tell just how good or bad a person he was, anymore. Perhaps he should just stop thinking about it entirely.
Now hear was the part Francis would probably take the worst. <"Now, I truly hope you will not hold this against me. You see how this could happen, don't you? I had been feeling miserable, even thought I was losing my mind, and suddenly I'm having a good time, drinking and laughing and forgetting my problems. After fixing up Arthur's ear, I don't know why, maybe he thought he was thanking me, but he leaned over and kissed me. And I kissed him back. And, yes, it... progressed..."> Francis didn't need to hear all the details. <"Afterward, we chatted a bit. I asked a couple questions on what the future might be like in my world. I don't even know for certain if our worlds are the same, but Arthur didn't seem willing to share much. Then he decided he was going to go to sleep. I had a cigarette, before gathering my things. I didn't want a repeat of the morning the three of us woke up to, you can understand. But I came back with a gift; I left him a carrot on the pillow next to him, I thought he might get a laugh out of it. After that, I went back to my room and I went to bed. That is what happened."> Now all that was left was to wait and see just how France would handle all this information.

((*eye twitch* dam walls of text. when u see them u will s**t bricks XD ))
Maverick sighed. He really didnt see any other way but to go with the mechs. "Umm i haven nothing here...I think its best if we just comply..." he sighed. He had only a few circles left and they didnt seem to be strong enough to take on the machines.
Souji shook his head "Yea I got a few of them but they are not strong enough to get your SP or whatever you call it back up to full." He then looked over to Meiko. she looked worried. "Im not sure... But right now the way the group is... We cant fight we dont have the ability right now since everyone is hurt." he sighed "Im worried too. but ill do my best to make sure nothing happens to you" he said giving her a reassuing smile.
Heavy sighed as he looked to Natalia. He was on his last rounds of ammo, and the armor of the Mechs seemed to strong for his gun to penetrate. He took her hand as a way of telling her that for the most part he will be by her side no matter what.
The Mechs waited for them to get in as they started loading slowly.

Medic felt a pang of irritation when he glanced around at everyone, and saw Heavy once again giving most of his attention to his fiance. It wasn't exactly a bad thing, but it seemed to get in the way of him paying attention to all of his teammates. Especially the one that could heal him. Leave it to Medic to always be the voice of reason. "Zhey killed in seconds a beast zhat vas vinning its fight against us. Zhey aren't attacking us now. I say, get in zhe damn vehicle."

( HAHAHAHA TEXT WALL!! *points and jumps up and down* TEEEEEEXT WAAAAAALL! >< I'm a child.. >< XDD That's impressive Ruki. Seriously. XD that makes Spy sound like an a**.. a nice a** but an a**.. and it makes Arthur sound like a confused. weasel of a nation. XDD Absolute awesome)
Matthew remained where he was. Lost in his misery, he slowly rose up and started carrying Kuma off in a random direction. His transparency still on without his realizing it, all he was focused on was burying his friend. That's all that mattered, he was completely unaware of the other's leaving. His transparency didn't start to wear off until he was completely gone from sight of the group.

Raidou looked down, disappointed. He saw as he was trying to comfort one of the girls, he silently walked with the others onto the vehicle. High pixie was still hiding under his cape.

After everyone had boarded the transport the mechs closed and sealed the door.
Maverick sighed "Why does it feel like we are now prisoners to these people?"
Lord Inu sighed. He decided to give her her space. He went to the living room and decided to meditate for a while.
Alexander shook his head "Im sure they are ok, after all everyone in our group is pretty strong on their own, so im sure they are fairing fine" he reassured her.
Raguna smiled "Yep that you are" he told her as he noticed something on the ground "hey look!." he said with a smile "Your seeds are germinating already." he told her as he pointed at the seedling starting to burst out of the ground

Francis took a long drag of the cigarette, blowing the smoke out as he thought about everything. Everything that happened. Part of him wanted to be sharp. He wanted to tell Spy that he had been a coward, not wanting to be next to him when he woke up. Knowing Arthur, Francis knew that was really all the man required after sleeping with him to make him feel just a tad bit better. He wasn't sure how he should react, to any of this. He repeated the motion before reaching into his jacket pocket, taking out the cigarettes and the lighter, he held them out for Spy to take, Yeah, of course he couldn't expect Spy to know exactly how Arthur was- what those actions would do to the tsundere character. But again, some sort of formality should be used, he felt, a respect even if Arthur is English and Spy is French. Arthur was a nation, and if he didn't get special respect for that fact, he should surely get respect for being much older. But was that asking too much? His mind was in turmoil. He didn't think he could just accept this information and move on, but he didn't know what to do otherwise.
Natalia kept her hands gently gripping Heavy's shirt before accepting his hand as a replacement. She held onto him gently, not scared, but wary as she looked to the Mechs, complying with them, staying close to her fiance. Once on the ship, she glanced around uneasily.
Germany nodded, agreeing with Medic before moving onto the vehicle, he looked to his person, still feeling a slight pain in his legs, "Can you walk?" he spoke in English, figuring that the best way to arouse suspicion would be speaking in a foreign language around them, so speaking a common one would be a good way to avoid that suspicion, but he was a bit unsure after the door was sealed.
Hungary sighed, "I guess that means we're going." She said, she wanted to get somewhere too where Scout would be able to set her down, not that she minded being carried but she also didn't want to hurt him on accident.
Alfred wasn't headed towards the vehicle. He was worried, he couldn't find Matthew where he had left him, and he wasn't going to leave without him. He started calling for him, "Matthew! Mattie!" He kept glancing back, watching as people were loaded on, he couldn't leave Mattie. He was still outside the ship when the door was sealed, he wasn't going to leave his lover.

(( whee ))
That was probably the best reaction he could have hoped for. <"I understand,"> Spy replied, standing. <"One last thing you should know,"> he began, taking the cigarettes and lighter. <"She's dead now. Faya. I don't know if you were told or not. Xuxa had broken free, and Faya somehow pulled her back in. The witch was going to kill her, and then kill as many people in the city as she could. I stopped her."> The Frenchman walked back to the bed, and sat down again. <"That is why I'm in here."> He wasted no time in opening up the pack and getting himself a cigarette lit. Somehow, he doubted this pack would last until the trial began...
Medic heard Ludwig's question, and tried to move his legs to test. While painful, he could move the one with the injured knee, but the one with the hole in the thigh refused to so much as twitch. "Nein, not yet," he replied. "Just, set me down inside here. So long as no one steps on me or kicks me, I should be fine."

((Sorry for not being around! D= ))
Scout walked into the vehical and made sure Eliza got a seat somewhere where he was certain she wouldn't get messed with too much with the crowd. He then sat down and shot Heavy some dirty looks, still pissed about what had happened back at the fight.
Soldier got on board, hugging his rocket launcher close to him. If they wanted this launcher, they would have to pry it from his cold, dead fingers, mostly likely in a liteal sense. For the sake of the weaker or more injured, Soldier did not sit. He looked to Medic, sensing the German was angry with him and rubbed the back of hs neck. "Uh, thanks for the heal, Doc. You deserve a medal."
Luka, being one of the first on, had one of the better seats. She crossed her legs in a lady-like mannor with her whip neatly folded on her lap and her hands delicately, yet firmly, on top. She had an almost intmidating calm to her as she sat in silence with her eyes closed.
Haku looked around nervously. There were so many people in such a tight spot. She was nervous to speak in the even her voice hurt someone's ears. So, instead, she took up as little room as possible standing as she hugged her riffle to her chest with a sad expression and a light blush.
Meiko simply plopped down and stood the microphone stand up next to her legs. She was still slightly nervous, but she didn't want to make the situation worse by acting suspocious.
((And since I'm pretty sure I forgot Oomizu...))
Oomizu looked at the lizard-like men in fascination. She was kind of curious as to how they got to be mutated like tha- She shook her head. "Leave them alone. You don't piss them off, and they won't attack." She looked to Joseph, wanting him to lead the way as she glanced to the lizard men, just in case. She didn't want to draw atention, so she went ahead and switched the rockets off on her boots to walk.
Gakupo had just woken up from a nap. Being sad was tiring... He sat up, still feeling drained of energy, but was still able to sense something was wrong... Where was Meiko. Surely she would have been back by now with a six-pack of Big One brand sake and a grin to help cheer him up. Maybe even have a packed lunch and a normal bottle of sake and say "Hey, let's go drink in the park 'til we scare the kids!" Why was it so quiet? He went ahead and took the tie off, but kept the rest of his suit on. He then left the room, hoping to see Meiko and Luka walk through the portal, even if they were beaten and sweaty, to give them a hug... He needed a hug... Even one that would get his nice clothes all nasty...

Soap noticed that Haku was getting nervous when they were all packed inside the transport. Even more so that they didn't know if they were allies or not. So, he placed his hand on her shoulder and gave a warm smile. "It's all right, Haku. I'm right here." He whispered to her, trying to calm her down.Joseph continued to lead them both through the tunnels, ignoring the workers who were obviously hypnotized by their own work. Soon afterwards, he led Oomizu to a lift that was operated by a simple lever on one side. "Well, I guess there's only one way left to go now." He told her as he stepped on the lift and waited for her.((Ok, after attemting to kill this guy, with terrible failure following, I felt I had to post this fo no apparent reason:  ))

Matthew fell to his knees and lay the bear down beside himself reluctantly. He had somehow found his way to a burnt park. What would have been a place that he might have had liked to take his bear to, was now full of rubble and burned in places. He started to dig at the ground with his fingers and hands. He needed to bury him, he had to. But being blinded by tears wasn't helping. After this.. after he said goodbye to his bear, then he could go back to the others, he just needed to do this. His fingers dug in at the soil, ignoring the pebbles and rocks that popped up and stubbed his fingers. He felt numb, he didn't even notice that during his first fall, his watch had broken and come off.
Arthur is at the hot springs. Trying to force himself to relax and stop being so wound up.
(its okay Kiki, we still luv you. and XDD that's awesome XD)
