(( *hugs* Ruki, you're awesomesauce. ^^ ))
The girl nervously drummed her fingertips against the metal of the door as she tried to think of a way to get herself out of this one. Hitomi had stressed it to her enough that she couldn't be seen by Hotstreak, under any circumstances and now she had gone and done probably the single worst thing she could have done. Biting on the inner of her cheek as she leaned backwards, glancing down the hall just to make sure no one saw her epic fail, Collette than sighed before she stepped through the threshold of the door and closed it behind her. "Uh, hey dad." She said awkwardly but immediately clamped her mouth, realizing that was probably the second dumbest thing she could have done at that moment. "I-I mean," She paused for a moment as she bent forward at her waist, bowing to him out of respect, her streaked hair flopping over her head as she tried in vain to think of a way to escape, but found none. "It's nice to finally be able to meet you and I know that you might have a lot of questions," She had stood up once more at this point, readjusting her teeshirt slightly so that it hung off of her left shoulder once more. "B-But please don't be mad..."
Carlisle snorted out his nose in frustration as he nodded to the masked woman to do her job and assist Jack with his watch. With nimble fingers, she unhooked it from his wrist before placing it in the container with the rest of his items before she scurried off to place them with the rest of the stored items. "Now come," The dhampir finally said as he pointed in the direction that the two must now travel in, in order for him to be properly placed in his cell. "We must now go this way." Taking Jack by the arm, careful not to injure the "easily-bruised" albino, he then began to lead him down the hall to an elevator that would take them to the proper floor that was next, which was the fifteenth. As the two stepped inside and the doors closed, the white-haired individual glanced down at the genius, eyebrow quirked. "For a hero of the floating city, its puzzling to imagine you not caring about the supposed greater good, especially since many innocents are dying for the cause of peace..." He mused out loud, hands behind his back in a soldier's stance, now staring at the doors before him once more.

(( :3 I try. *hugs*))
"No. No." He could have kid himself, before. Lied to himself, pretend this was just some random employee that was supremely confused. Then the girl had to go and open her mouth. "Oh, for the love of-! Why are you bowing-? What in the-!? Damn it!" Hotstreak had risen from his seat at first, only to put a hand over his face and collapse back into it. "She couldn't wait, noooooooo, couldn't even tell me about this, ask if it'd be okay...!" He was supposed to have a say in something like this, damn it, even if the only words were, "Oh s**t, it broke." Unfortunately, what's done was done, without his knowledge or consent. "So..." he began, sliding his hand off his face. "How old are you?"
"Hey, if you're gonna get this friendly with me, don't ya think you should buy me a drink first?" Jack joked. He didn't say anything else until they were in the elevator, too busy looking at everything around them. "Hah, let me guess. You always wanted to be a great big hero when you were a kid, didn't you? Wanted to save the world, beat up bad guys, and maybe get a girl? Or guy, I don't judge. Well, see, when I was a kid, I always wanted to be the bad guy. I had it in my head that I would do things right, an' take over the whole world, and wouldn't let anybody steal it back from me." Which obviously didn't exactly go according to plan. "Then, one day, I wound up in Quasar. And despite the fact I was dumb enough to go introducing myself as an evil boy genius to anybody and everybody who would listen, I ended up helping to save this world twice. But it wasn't because I suddenly decided to be a good guy. You wanna try and guess what was the reason?"

Luka felt the ground shake and immediately stood up, looking around nervously for a moment before she calmed down some and put her poker face back on to hide that she had been taken by surprise in the first place. She cleared her throat before looking to Cloche and Luca. "This probably sounds like a stupid question, but should we do that Hymnos thing you were talking about, or do you think that would take too long and that we should take care of it after the attack is dealt with?"Scout felt the ground shake and steadied himself before he went to the locker and went through it. He pulled out "Baby Face's Blaster", Pretty Boy's Pistol, and a blue Atomizer. Alright, seriously, who the hell in Mann Co. came up with some of these names? Oh well. He strapped the blaster on his back and shoved the pistol into his pocket before tossing the bat into the air, letting it spin a few times, before catching it by the handle and leaning it against his shoulder. "Yo! Let's go!"Soldier heard the explosion and more than happily came out of his room. After all, war was going on, and there was no way he was about to miss a fight! He went to the Portal room and threw open his locker as he inspected all of the "toys" Mann Co. had sent this time. He spotted the new boots and grabbed those before sliding the current ones off and replacing them with Mantreads. After getting a feel for them for a moment, he then spotted a.... peculiar looking item. he picked it up and read over what the tag said. "Cow Mangler 5000? How can there be a 5000 when this is my first! Also, what sort of hippie contraption is--" He accidently pulled the trigger and watched as one of the objects in the room more or less turned into a pile of ash. He actually lifted his helmet from his eyes some to see if he saw that right before looking down at the new weapon. He looked down to the weapon and read the tag more, seeing there was no ammo required. A grin spread across his face, and he laughed somewhat evilly. "Good job, Mann Co.! You've done us proud with this one!" He then grabbed a Pain Trian before shutting and locking his locker so that no one else could touch his stuff! After all, his stuff belonged to him! With his things gathered, Solly turned and decided it was time to go find the "ladies" of his team to make sure none of them were rocking back and forth and crying in a puddle of their own urine instead of preparing for the fight!Haku nodded her head, agreeing that today was fairly quiet, especially by the Vocaloids' standards. Usually at least two or more of them were arguing or getting into a "my fanbase loves me better than yours" argument. That was assuming Gakupo and Luka weren't playfully at each others throats... At least, she told herself they were playful. Really, those two were so much like a cat and a dog with Gakupo being the lovable and dopey dog and Luka being the quick-to-anger cat ready to rip the samurai a new face.... "I am sure--" Haku heard the explosion and her eyes went wide before she squeezed them shut and curled into a fetal position more or less as she ducked down and threw her hands over her head. when the initial explosion calmed down, she opened her tear-filled red eyes and tried not to cry. "....It sounds like there is going to be another fight.... I hate confrontation...." She sighed sadly, wondering how she had gotten herself mixed into all of this.... Oh, right. Neru. She sighed sadly before she stood up reluctantly. "I should probably go get my sniper riffle and go find a spot...."Neru was sleeping soundly, enjoying the chance to sleep in for once, when she heard the explosion. The blond's eyes shot open and she sat up in bed, her long hair falling all around her face. She looked around the room, trying to find someone to blame for the disturbance in her slumber only to find that Haku wasn't there to take the blame as usual. Now where could she be? Neru frowned and got out of bed, crankily shuffling to the small pocket-sized computer sitting on the desk and plugged it into the back of her neck. She cnaged into her usual outfit, complete with her side pony tail, before she grabbed her katana and walked out of the room. Someone was going to pay for her waking up before lunch time....((Will either post or add more later.))

Cloche shook her head as she pulled out the Hymnos crystal and placed it into a small box that was hooked up to a computer. She pulled out a USB cable and handed it to her. "I have heard that your kind use this cable thing instead of just plugging in directly to your body like us." she said as she waited for her to connect it. Once it was in, Luca activated the computer and started transferring data. "remember you need someone to defend you while you are singing since you will be defenseless as you do. However if you hide somewhere and can still see your target then you should be fine." Cloche said as the data transfer finished. "Ok there you go." she said  The ships made another round on the city dropping what appeared to be some sort of energy bombs on the ground below. Maverick looked behind him and saw the spy. He nodded as he continued to run to the city. "This is not going to be pretty" he told him as they arrived at the city limits. Their were very little ships flying around and it seemed to be a scouting party trying to figure out defenses. "how do we get them down?" Heavy walked outside and quickly spun his gun. He aimed at the air and opened fire, instantly hitting one of the ships which proceeded to fall to the ground. As if the lead ship had been hit, the other ships quickly landed next to the downed bomber. Soldiers quickly exited and secured the area around the bomber. Alexander nodded. He was now ready for battle. "Ok then now that that is settled shall we head to the battle my love?" he asked clearly knowing the answer. He walked over to the door. The explosions had stopped so something had obviously happened. "Come on i think they may of started the foot invasion already" Croix watched her get dressed for a bit before he himself started getting dressed. "Just out of curiosity did you feel the ground shake not to long ago?" he asked her wondering if she had felt it or if it was just his imagination. Raguna finished his meal and smiled contently "That was awesome Yuzuki... Thanks so much for the meal" he told her as he stretched in his seat. They were still oblivious to the battle at hand because of how far away they lived from the main city area. ((hope its obvious that its strom troopers XD))

"...Because you lost the love of your life, Nina Sakura." Carlisle finsihed for him as he breathed out his nose once more, this time it didn't sound that much like a snort and more like an exasperated sigh. "Well I guess I can say that the first time you came to Quasar, you fell in love with her, but the second time, you were able to love her for a period of time before you inevitably lost her in the end." He then turned his head down, glancing at Jack with a hollow expression. "I have been informed of your great tragedy before, such an ironic shame though; how the God of Time was plotting it from the beginning with Lord Sesshomaru." He looked away from him and followed the numbers that appeared on the top of the door, waiting for the proper number to indicate that they could get off. "The people who were present to witness her fade away into nothingness, they have said it was one of the worst tragedies that they've seen, even including those from their own respective worlds." Collette glanced down at the floor as she poked her index fingers together in a nervous fashion. Internally, she just kept cursing and cursing at herself for being so neglectful and stupid. She should have known better, she had her mother's brain for pete's sake! As he ranted, she continued to bite at the inside of her cheek, trying to contain any outbursts that might made the flame-head angry with her. Although Hitomi had told her why she had done this, she never expected the experiment to age her so drastically. But instead of hiding her away, she decided to put her into use. "I think I'm supposed to be sixteen." She mused after a long pause of silence, lifting her head slightly to meet his gaze once more. "My name is Collette, by the way. Collette AnnMarie Stone." She then took in a deep breath before she lowered her hands to her sides once more. "I was created in secret, I've been in production for a long while before I was adapted into this form. At first, she was only going to produce a baby, but then...something happened. There was a power surge awhile ago and it altered my DNA and caused me to grow into the form you see before you. I was prepared to be a perfect child of both samples, a perfect experiment to see what an actual child of yours would be capable of." She stepped forward, closing the rather large gap that was between the pair. "I do know that I was created out of spite because you keep ignoring her pleas, but I'm not upset about that. When she found out that your first experiment was on the DNA of the hero Faya, she decided to finally give me a purpose in life." She paused for a moment, coughing into a closed fist before she continued. "I was the catalyst that would move the entire operation into successful waters, which I have done so thus far.... great, she's on her way here now. I'm so ******** style="color: cornflowerblue">Tomoe nodded as she grabbed a ninja headband and tied it over her forehead. "Yes, I'm aware of that. I can sense many of them, but all with the same signature aura, it's very strange..." She stated before she grabbed Tetsuiaga and then nodded to her mate. "Let's go." She said before the two then ran off to meet up with the others and to take on the invading force head on.Bunko had just arrived at the main spot where the bomber fell, glancing around she saw a few of the other teammates, but it seemed like many people were still missing, either they somehow thought other things were more important than this, or they were still asleep. Raising her bow and clipping and arrow to the string, the woman prepared herself for any attacks. These soldiers clad in white seemed very familiar, but she couldn't exactly pinpoint where she had seen them before just yet. "Tch, let's get this started already." She mused as she lowered her center of gravity and aimed the arrow at the first wave of soldiers.Gumi had stood up by this point, her hands firmly grasping the top of the table as the ground shook. "There's another attack? Oh god..." The green-haired vocaloid mused to herself as she looked down to Haku and nodded in agreement. "I didn't bring my numchucks with me, so I need to get those too!" Taking a carrot from a pouch on her hip, she then tossed it on the ground before it grew into a large carrot creature. "Get my battle stuff! NOW!" She cried as she pointed towards the door. With a nod, it then ran off to retrieve what it was ordered too. Turning her attention to Haku, she then knelt down and peered at her from under the table, pouting slightly. "Haku-chan, please get up, the faster we get out of here and regroup with the others, the safer we'll be. Sempai taught me that.""It's not a problem at all~" Yuzuki then said before data flashed before her eyes, causing her to pause what she was doing for a moment, dish and sponge in hand as the water continued to run over her skin. "Security breech 10032." She stated in a robotic voice before she shook her head, quickly turning off the sink so she didn't waste anymore water. "There's trouble in the inner city, I'm off to help, be safe." She told the two before she ran outside, robotic wings then expanding from her back before a rocket then sent her into the sky to meet up with the others who would need her help.

"Don't let me stop you, just g-! Oh." Medic had started out trying to rush the others, but as Heavy had apparently gotten up before them and Scout had slept in his clothes, both were already out of sight before the German had finished his sentence (and before he had gotten his pants on). "You dummkopfs could haff at least closed zhe door!" he shouted, before going for his shirt. It didn't really bother him, though, and he made no move to close the door himself.
"I... I have never seen anything like them," Spy admitted. "Just... Try shooting them down!" It seemed as good a plan as any, except for himself. He doubted the usefulness of a revolver against something that resembled a small fighter plane.
Hotstreak listened as the girl explained herself. Some of it seemed, relatively speaking, reasonable enough from Hitomi. "Wait, so first she just wants a kid, but then she tries to make you as powerful as possible and then just turns you into a damn lackey!?" Even to him, that just didn't sit well. Kids were supposed to be kids, not ginea pigs. "Good! Now I don't have to call her down, myself."
Jack's hands tightened into fists. This guy just talked about Nina so damn casually... But it couldn't be helped. To him, it was probably just some story that happened to be true. "Sorta. For the first time, at least. See, the stories they tell only cover the highlights. It wasn't just Nina. That first group... Most of 'em became a sort of family for me. It was the first time anyone else actually gave a rat's a** about me, and not just if I was alive or dead, either. So that's why I never turned against them. I wanted to protect them. An' before you go thinking I got all altruistic and such, no, I was still just being selfish. I liked them and wanted to help so they'd like me more. Nina dying... That took the fight outta me..." The albino gave a shrug, looking at the doors. "Now, I don't really care about trying to be good or trying to be evil. I'm still wanna take over the world, but... Differently. And maybe later. 'Cause if there's anything I learned from fighting the Warlord, it's that taking over is one thing, and actually controlling is something totally different." He paused a moment, letting his mind wander. "So what's your story? Always want to get into the kidnapping biz, or this just some bonus on top of being someone's goon?"

Gakupo flinched and gritted his teeth at the USB cable plugged itself into his neck. Well, that was rude. Not s much as a "Surprise!" to give him a heads up? Didn't they know this could more or less count as rape? Well, whatever. He tried yanking his arms from above his head so he could get rid of the nasty cable in his neck but found that, yep, the things locking his arms above his head were good quality. Shame. He could normally escape this sort of thing easy back home. He suddenly felt the thing forcing information and taking information from his head. He choked out a grunt of pain, a headache overwhelming him. Th- this hurt! He wasn't used to so much pain from any download, no matter what sort of download it was or how much information was contained within the one download. Hell, he'd gotten viruses less painful than this! However, he did not allow himself to scream in pain and only dealt with it so as not to give the people watching him satisfaction in seeing him suffer so muhc from whatever they were trying to do to him.Oomizu felt like she was having an outer body experience. She normally didn't believe in these sort of things, but she could swear this is what that was. Why? Because even though she knew she wasn't awake, it felt like there were times where she could almost see and sense what was happening around her. She was someplace she'd never been before-- somewhere dark and cold. The cold was made even more unbearable by the lack of her normally heavy clothing, armor, and charmed or mechanical objects kept on her person at all times. There were people around her talking about surgery and halves... W- were they going to cut her in half? Oh God! Why were they planning on cutting her in half?! If they wanted to kill her, couldn't they have done something that wasn't as inhumane as slicing her in half while she was merely too drained of energy to open her eyes or communicate? To make it worse, this was all part of some plan? Who's plan? FOQ? Maybe. There were so many times she had gone into one of their bases on a mission and slaughtered hundreds of personnel practically all by herself with the fearsome gift given to her by the Gods, granting her power and control over death itself.... Maybe this was that universal karma she studied so much about that was finally seeking justice on her for all of the wrong she'd done in her life....
A single tear rolled down Oomizu's cheek as her unconscious, yet somehow conscious, mind put together all of the worst scenarios of what these people planned to do to her.------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Luka accepted the USB and looked it over for a moment, just to make sure there was nothing faulty about it. Once satisfied that there was no chance of her getting a virus from it, she moved her hair over her shoulder and placed the cable into place in the back of her neck. Honestly, it felt like it might be a little big, but she tolerated it. She closed her eyes and felt as information was transferred directly into her. There was so much data being downloaded into her mind, but it wasn't anything she couldn't handle. At some point, she opened her eyes and looked to Luca. Her normally clear blue eyes had microscopic 0s and 1s running past her eyes, much like with a computer dealing with binary codes as it booted up, and her eyes were glowing slightly. She nodded her head, letting the girl know she was listening and understood what she was saying. Once it was all finished, Luka's eyes went back to normal and she pulled the cable out of her neck. She held her head, feeling like she had a head cold as she always did after such a large data dump into her system. After a minute, she was once more fine. "If you can't download it like us, then how do you normally get this sort of information, if you don't mind me asking." After all, how exactly did humans "insert" a crystal like that into their bodies...Meiko sluggishly woke up after the second or third bombing. Her brown hair was a mess and, as usual, she was not dressed. After stretching her arms and back like a cat, she finally got out of bed and walked over the the desk where she left her computer. She plugged the cable into the back of her neck and changed into a red leather jumpsuit. She then turned to Souji and smiled sweetly to him. "So... Since I'm mad that these people woke us up, I'm gonna go hurt someone~! I'll see you later~!" She tucked the pistol away into a gun holster on her hip before grabbing her microphone stand on the way out the door.Scout followed Heavy outside, though he noticed even Heavy was walking faster than him. The ********?! Man, this new gun sure was heavy if even the big Russian guy could go faster than him! He wouldn't be surprised if the only one he was faster than right now was Solly. He crouched down and watched people come out of the plane in a large group. "Huh... So, since I'm slow as ******** with this thing, what do ya think we should do? I can't just run out there like usual and bash skulls...."Soldier found scout and Heavy and stood behind Scout, leaning over the boy to get a better look at the situation. "What are those? Space men? Well then, I have a space man gun I can use to beat them with!"Scout looked up and his jaw dropped at the new weapon Soldier had. "Aww man! The ********?! That's ********' sweet as hell! Mann Co. give that to ya? Dayum! Wha's it called?""... Cow mangler 5000."Scout and Soldier both got quiet for a moment, but Scout made a very judgmental face at the name of the thing. "....Right. Mann Co. sure does come up with some weird a** names...."Hiruko woke up and groaned. he looked to the blacked out curtain in his room and saw some rays of the sun trying to peak into the abandoned and supposedly haunted house he was now living in. If there was sunlight... then there was no way he was leaving the house. This was just going to have to be another battle the team faced without the baku. With that, he rolled over and attempted going back to sleep, even going as far as pulling the blankets over his head so that if any sun did find a way in he wouldn't feel any sort of pain from the rays hitting him.Haku looked up pathetically to Gumi and frowned. With a reluctant nod, she stood up and lead the way to the portal room where she was storing her riffle in one of the lockers there. She grabbed the weapon and even plugged her computer in so she could quickly change into her usual black, gray, and purple outfit. This would be more practical in helping her hide as she made sniper shots than a bright orange outfit.Neru walked into the portal room and spotted Haku and Gumi. "Haku! What the hell is going on? Someone woke me up!""We're under attack again, Neru-chan.... We might have to fight again." Haku sighed sadly. She really did wish they could all just stop fighting.... Confrontations were so terrible."Good! Someone deserves to pay for waking me up! Hurry up! Let's go!" Neru crossed her arms and tapped her feet, feeling restless and ready to slice someone down with her katana. Blood thirsty didn't even begin to describe just how cranky she was from being woke up....

Nerwin, was releaved but at the same time disappointed that Croix had felt the shaking to. It meant that she wasn't crazy, but it also meant that something was going on. She turned towards Croix and nodded. "yeah I did, We better go check it out." She said as she finished getting ready and once Croix was dressed she opened the door and headed out of the room.
Luna's fur stood on end as she heard Yuzuki's new voice, she was not use to anything like this at all. After Yuzuki had taken off she looked bewildered at Raguna and said "what should we do?"

Raguna shook his head. "Im a farmer not a fighter. The monsters here are way stronger then what i am used to. I would probably only get in the way. However i can make some potions to heal the group. " he told Luna
Alexander rushed over to the battle scene with Tomoe. They had arrived behind the enemy. He could see some of the other team members on the other side of the area with the soldiers in between them. "We can cause some real damage if we plan this right Tomoe" he said as he shot her a wink. "of course we have to watch out for the cross fire from the friendlies"
Souji nodded as he also stretched. It would take him a bit longer for him to get ready since he wasnt able to just flash cloths onto him. Lucky girl. He started getting dressed and looked into the mirror. Weird. his body seemed a bit different but he put that aside and picked up his weapon to get ready for battle. He left the room a full five minuets after Meiko so he had to catch up to her
Maverick drew another circle onto the gun he had just made and activated it. The gun grew into a sniper rifle with electrical properties. He aimed it at the soldiers and his long suppressed assassin side was let out. With the pull of a finger the head of one of the soldiers was gone. Another pull another soldier was down. He was tired of being the weaker of the group. He looked at Spy. He seemed to be at a loss on what to do... He probably felt like he did too. He drew another circle and manifested a large magnum with a scope and an elaborate kick back suppression feature that made the gun look just a tad bigger but kept recoil to the minimum. "Spy... Think you can use that?" he said as he looked through the scope and knocked another one down.
As soon as some of their friends went down, the attacking troops started to open fire with their laser weapons.
Heavy smirked as he saw the enemy approaching. He looked over to Solider and Scout and called "Time to fight now cowards!" he yelled as he spun his gun and opened fire. Bursts of laser blasts flew past him as the enemy started to fire back.
Croix followed Nerwin closely as he got his lance ready for battle. "This will be pretty interesting" he told her as they arrived at the battle field. "Theres quite a bit of them, and they seem to be in a defensive mode... who are they protecting..." he asked before seeing Alexander and Tomoe not far from them. "lets group up with them, focus on a plan and act on it. I dont think they have noticed us yet so we can probably do a sneak attack"
Cloche and Luca blushed "its different for everyone... well every reyvitale..." luca started.
"For me... my port is just under my armpit... on the right side." Cloche said
"For me its just under my right rib next to my breast" Luca said. "But there are others who have them in different areas. Jaquil had her's near her navel and Frielia had hers just above her hips. But we have heard of some who have them on their hips, on their backs, in between their breast and some of them... well in between the thighs very very close to other entrances..."
"Because of how close our ports are to our very personal and private locations... we dont just let anyone have access to them. They are sacred... Im sure your ports are the same and im pretty sure it must feel the same to have someone touch or access them without permission." Cloche finished. "Thats why i feel that Luca and me can relate to you in more ways then just one" she smiled

Luna tilted her head to the side "is making potions similar to making poisons? just with different ingredients or is it an entire other process?" She asked, after all she did know a thing or two about making poisons maybe she could help Raguna. She than happened to think, with Yuzuki gone how would they get the potions to the people on the battle field? One if not both of them would have to go there to delver them.
"Maybe it's their leader and he is still hiding in the ship" Nerwin replied in response to Croix's question about who they where protecting. Nerwin than nodded at the idea of grouping with the other two and doing a sneak attack as she fallowed Croix towards Alexander and Tomoe.

"...Well, that's not exactly accurate." Collette finally saide after a long pause, looking down to the ground as she began to drag the toe of her shoe around in a circle rotation. "I have all of the powers that one of your actual kids would have, but she just made sure I wouldn't be condemned by disease or other pesky things of that nature." She glanced to the door, knowing at any moment, the woman she feared would enter. "And after telling me about the war, I was more than happy to be able to go through with the plan you all had. I'm able to defeat Oomizu in a square fight, isn't that good enough for you?"
This is bad, this is so bad. Hitomi thought to herself as she adjusted her robes slightly, allowing her bare forearms more room in case she would need to move at a quickened pace or to kick some a**, either one could probably happen with her boyfriend on the other side of it. "Collette, hush." The brunette finally said as she stood there in the doorway, holding the door open with one hand before she entered the room, allowing it to swing shut on its own.
"O-Oh! Mother! I'm sorry, I did--"
"...I said be quiet!" Hitomi then told Collette as she stopped beside her, resting a hand on her shoulder, glancing at Hotstreak out of the corner of her eyes. "I need you to let me have a rather serious discussion with your father, so please, just be silent for awhile." She changed her tone to become softly, almost cooing in the younger girl's ear. When she nodded and took a few steps back, standing beside the door once more, Hitomi then looked up to her boyfriend, sighing heavily. "Well now you know. Now you know what you have driven me to do." She began as she ran her hands through her hair, moving loose strands out of her face as her hazel eyes fixated on him. "I created Collette with pure purposes I swear. She was to be a child that I would care for in case anything happened to you, but with that damn energy creature getting loose the last time the group was here, her experiment kicked into overdrive to what you see before you. But I'm sure she's already told you that," She had glanced back to Collette at this point, before returning her gaze to him. "I know I sound hypocritical since I gave you such a hard time with the cloning of Faya, but that was different..." She trailed off, fanning herself with her hand.
Carlisle listened to everything that Jack had said, making no motion nor wanting to interrupt his near-monologue with a sigh or a sneeze or a bat of an eyelash. He hadn't thought of power in the way Jack had described but couldn't help but find himself agreeing with his notions of that maintaining that sort of world-wide power is very hard to do, especially without unlimited power. "I am the son of two individuals who were in the group that saved Quasar the second time heros were ripped from their worlds in order to protect this one," She glanced down at Jack. "You would know them as demon exterminator Rosette Christopher and dhampir Alucard. They were married soon after the world was save and bore myself not too long afterwards." He glanced back to the meter once more, noticing that their floor was quickly approaching. "I'm a mercenary for hire since they died during the war protecting my brother and myself. I've never thought of myself as a "good guy" with outright morals that would lead me to the happy ending that is seen in the floating city. But my mother's dying wish was for my brother to be protected and I did just that by hiding him there, while I fought the battles down on the surface for him." He didn't mind telling Jack all of this, it was of no importance to him really. "I do work for both the FOQ and the gods that govern the floating city, so I am nobody's lackey. I am simply for hire and this job will be easy and come with enough resources to get my brother off of that wretched floating contraption."
Seeing that she and Alexander had come from behind the enemy, she sniffed the air before a soft growl emitted from her parted lips. "I don't like this," She mused as her ears flattened against her head, her tail curling and uncurling as she scanned the area. "We have dealt with mindless drones before, even mindless soldiers, but these are different. They aren't trained to just point and shoot, they have an element of strategy to them, I can tell." She then glanced to her mate as he shot her a wink, her ears flickering upwards once more as she blushed softly, glancing away quickly. "R-Right, good idea. I'll probably be able to use some ninjutsu on them, that would work the best..." She stated as she removed a scroll from her back pouch and opened it, reading over a few things that her mother wrote for her quickly, just to make sure she didn't screw this up.
"Ah, hell with it!" Bunko shouted as she let fly a few arrows one after another. One pierced a soldier in the shoulder, ice crystals immediately shooting out of his shoulder before engulfing him in a block of ice. Another one pierced a soldier in his neck, his body immediately freezing as his head fell off and his body fell to the ground, shattering upon impact. As she strung up a few more, she then charged a few soldiers, making sure to bob and weave so their blasters would harm her.
Gumi ran with Haku to the portal room before she too opened up her locker. Inside she found a sword with a carrot for a handle. "Sempai?" She questioned out of habit, since he was the samurai of the group, glancing around just in case he would pop out of nowhere to hug her and ask her how she liked it. But she didn't even know if he was the one who gave that to her. Unsheathing it, she saw a blade of energy then appear. "Woah, this is awesome~!" She exclaimed as she wave it around, delighted by the sound effects it gave off before sheathing it once more and running off to join the rest of the group.
Yuzuki soon landed by Bunko, facing the onslaught of the soldiers that began to pour out of the fallen ship they arrived in. Overhead, she saw smaller ships whizzing around and gritted her teeth. Glancing around, she saw that there were enough people on the ground to keep the soldiers busy. Revving up her rockets once more, she took to the air, changing her right arm into a solar cannon before she aimed it at a particular ship and shot a few blasts at it in an attempt to down it like the previous one.
Faya stepped through the portal, holding her right arm where they had so forcefull ripped the IV from in order to hurry her back into the fray, to keep her cover a secret. Glancing around as her eyes adjusted to the change in light, the oni princess then gasped as she witnessed the first of many FOQ attacks on the city. She knew that this was more a scouting party and that the big bad guy would be coming soon enough, but that meant that she had to make sure the civilians were safe. Taking to the air, she then began to fly over the soldiers before landing besides Scout and the rest of his TF2 commrades. "We need to be smart here! They... smell off, for some reason." She stated as she reached her hand into her bra before pulling out a rocket launcher out of seemingly nowhere and pointing at the other flying contraptions, kneeling down as she took aim, wanting to conserve her energy if she could.

Spy hesitated, and looked from Maverick to the approaching troops. Suddenly, his face split into a grin. There were men to kill and a sniper on his side, and he finally felt in his element. So what if there were large contraptions too high up in the sky to sap down? From what he could see, the others had that covered. "Thank you, yes," he replied, taking the new gun. "But instead of playing your double, I think I should ask you to watch my back. Well, figuratively..." He pulled out one of his new knives as he spoke. Your Eternal Reward... Bit of a strange name, but there was no denying its effectiveness. And there would be no need to try to scan the soldiers with his disguise kit with this. "There," he declared, pointing to a spot not far behind the line of enemy troupes. "I will come from there. Keep a look out for me, and for god's sake, be careful which ones of them you shoot." With that, he activated a cloak watch, and ran. It was hard not to outright laugh.
"Good enough?" Is that what she thought? That she had to meet some standard of expectations to be accep- wait, she could kick Oomizu's a** in a fair fight? Holy damn. Then his girl, his love, came in, and Hotstreak's ire began to rise again. At least this explanation made a bit more sense, and seemed much more like something she'd do. "You're damn right, it's different!" he shouted, slamming a fist against the desk to further emphasize. "This isn't just some little pet project, this is a kid, my kid! Jesus Christ, babe, just how long were you gonna keep this from me!?" Some steam began to rise from his shoulders and head, unbidden. "It wasn't enough that there was an accident in the experiment and she went from a baby to a full blown teen! It wasn't enough that you had our daughter running around doing missions for you! No, apparently the only accident that matters his is how I accidentally found out I have a child!"
The FOQ? Was he a Federation stronghold? That didn't bode well. "Welp, I guess that means I have to forgive you. Y'know, you didn't have to hide anything like that. Kids of the group are as welcome as their parents, even after they've died. I dun' really get what you got against the city, but hey, I agree it's more than a bit pretentious. Physically putting themselves literally above the rest of the world, like they think they're better... But, really, y'coulda just asked. We'd have forked over some resources, no problem." This didn't feel like a Federation place, though. He couldn't quite put his finger on it, but he wasn't entirely ready to rule it out. "Oh, one more thing... I'm not gonna hold it against you to lock me up, or whatever it is we're doing here, but, there's one thing you should know, Carlisle," Jack said, giving a sideways glance to the kidnapper that hadn't given his name. "I don't like second chances. We get the tiniest hint of you double-crossing my city again, and no, you won't get your brother off of that 'wretched floating contraption.'" The albino genius had been keeping closer tabs on the other heroes of Quasar, past and present, than he had ever let on. Apparently not as close as he should have, but he couldn't risk them finding out they were still being watched now and again. "I think, us both being not exactly good guys, that you can understand that. You don't threaten my family, and I won't threaten yours."
A little late to the party, Medic finally came running out, sporting a bit of nostalgia instead of the usual Medigun; his old Quick Fix. At least this way, venting the machine wouldn't kill anyone without his surgical enhancements. Or was it just ineffective in the ones without that machine...? Oh well, it didn't matter either way. "I'm here, I'm here! Who is injured!? Vhat's zhe situation!?" he demanded, sprinting up behind Heavy, Soldier, Scout, and Faya.

Maverick nodded as he shot at a few more troops. This was a bit too easy even for himself. He looked up at the sky and noticed a strange ship floating around. "Where have i seen a ship like that before.... Archives..... but....what..."  He looked over to the group. still fighting hard. "Something is not right..."His anger was keeping him from recalling where he had seen that ship before. Heavy was hit by a blast... strangely enough it didnt seem to cause any damage to him, or even so much as leave a burn mark on him. It was strange indeed but despite not being hurt, Heavy called out to the medic "Doktor!" he said. This normally ment one thing. use the healing device on him so he can create a charge. "Ve got puny tiny men. Not hard to kill." he said Alexander nodded as he quickly but quietly rushed over to the ships. He wasnt exactly good at ranged combat but if he could get close enough he could do some real damage. The enemy still didnt notice them approaching. what luck!Croix started after them as well. He could turn his spear into a gun but like all things, its better to use them when your closer to your target then when your far away. Something didnt add up though. Those looked like pretty advanced ships and they should have all types of sensors going off warning them of their flanking attack... yet the troops were not turning around. "Becareful... something isnt adding up." he said briefly to the rest of them.Souji arrived in the area but didnt see Meiko anywhere. Hopefully she was ok. He saw a few enemies and quickly attacked using a persona with lightning abilities. "Got him" he said before noticing a strange flicker of the body he had just hit. Did the attack he did just do a small x ray like thing to the enemy? None the less he got closer and continued to attack. Lord Inutaishou stood just outside the battle field. He could sense something was wrong and chose not to rush in to the battle like the others had. He waited in cover biding his time before making a move. Dovakin had just arrived after tending to the dragons. He noticed the battle. It was pretty intense. Such strange ships he had never seen before. He decided to stay out of the battle till he could figure out what was going on. Raguna nodded. "For the most part it is. Sometimes i think poison might be a bit easier since there are alot of things that harm the body compaired to what hurts it." he told her as he started mixing some herbs into a large cauldron. "Hand me the green herbs you see on that top shelf please" he asked her As Bunko approached the troops they seemed unphased by her attacks. They stood there just firing randomly as she approached. It was untill she was not far from them that all of that changed. A blue wall of plasma energy quickly surrounded the enemy. This wall appeared just infront of her giving her little to almost no time to dodge.
The Arbiter hovered above the battle ground. As Yuzuki attacked the ship with her attack, a shield reflected it with ease. It then countered with a ball of plasma shot in her direction.
An energy spike could be felt to anyone or thing sensitive enough to pick such things up. More yet, a visible bright blue circle could be seen in the middle of all the ships now. Almost as if something was materializing out of thin air. The object was quickly turning into a shape. More defined by the second. The shield prevented anything from comming in but did nothing to anything trying to go out. This included laser shots from the enemy with in.

Nerwin's ears twitched, she was hearing a high pitched buzzing noise, it was not very pleasant to the ears, she noticed the ships above them forming blue shields around them and knew it was only a matter of time before the ones on the ground did the same thing. With her fathers shield in front of her, she quickly went after Croix hopping to reach him in time before a plasma shield could came up and hit him.
Luna stood up on her toes and tried to reach the herbs. She couldn't reach, but instead of doing the normal human thing and find a step stool to help her reach them, she did the normal cat thing. She dropped low to the ground, her ears layed low, her tail moved back and forth and with a "mew" she jumped up into the air, stanched the herbs that Raguna wanted, and once back on the ground she handed them to him. "Here you go, what else you need?"

Luka listened to the two girls explain what it was like for them to get these crystals installed into them. Ah, so that's why they were joking about that earlier. She nodded, understanding what they meant. Actually, having them bring the topic of her USB port brought up caused her to reach up and lower the "cover" that went over the hole for whenever they didn't have their headphones in. It really was annoying if things got into the port, and one of her biggest pet-peeves was people sticking fingers into it or blowing on it. That was part of why she almost always had her hair down. She tilted her head as she felt some sort of energy surge and made a small hum of minor interest. ".... I agree. You and the Vocaloids are very similar. Perhaps, in a sense, your existence was part of the inspiration for our existence. Who knows. Either way, we should continue this discussion on another day. I should investigate what is going on and then go back to looking back for the ones I'm looking for." She turned and ran out of the building and began to make her way towards where she felt the serge. After a while, she arrived to where Maverick was and stood there for a moment as she watched to figure out what she could do. As she thought, she tugged on the back of her relatively revealing ninja garb since she was sure the back had ridden up slightly.
Scout looked over to see Faya and grinned. "Hey Faya!" Scout turned his attention to the group of clones and fired a few shots. Huh.... After those few shots, this gun didn't feel so heavy any more... Maybe that meant if he shot a few more he'd be as fast as he normally was again. "Huh? Off? What do you-- JESUS CHRIST MAN!!! Really?!"
Soldier had shot off his new fancy laser gun back at the clones.... Right over Scout's head as he was talking-- hence why Scout began yelling and cussing. Soldier turned to Scout, his gun still pointed at the enemies. "What? It wasn't like you were doing anything important!"
Haku and Neru both waited for Gumi. It was a bit odd that Gakupo hadn't immediately snuck out of hiding somewhere within the room to see the girl's surprise at her getting her own katana. However, they didn't think too much of it since there was a chance he might already be out fighting. They both turned and ran out of the building, headed in the direction of the fight.
Haku climbed to high ground and hid as she began taking sniper shots, picking people off one by one at a rather rapid pace.
Neru, on the other hand, waited to see what Gumi was wanting to do. If it were up to her, she'd charge right in and cut them all down! However, it looked like they had some sort of barrier they could throw up as they pleased, just like the city was supposed to have.
