Abel had just realized that this old man may be of some use after all. He would be able to get in finally, meaning that his mission now stood a chance.
"Can you assure me of safe passage? and what about if I want to get to different areas of the centre, how would I accomplish that?"
Abel was not going until he knew everything that was going on. He was still lacking weapons and unless he could move around and not get caught he would have to find out some other way to get to Khane.

Rikka gasped, quickly taking steps back. "I'm . . . I'm sorry!" she gasped. "I didn't mean to . . . It's just I-" she stammared, her eyes filling with sorrow, her lips curling downwards at the ends. She struggled to speak, her voice quivering with fear and the realization that she attacked someone innocent, or at least someone underserving of her rage. "I didn't mean to-"
Risa moaned, moving to her feet. "You're brother, well. That thing almost killed Rikka's sister," she gasped. "As far as I know, I'm a lot more sane than that thing is. It may be your brother, but I value my life more than his. Either you kill it, or I will. Take your pick."
"Sister!" Rikka exclaimed. She took a step towards her sister, holding her hands close to her body. "Sister, life is still the same! I'm sure that there is something to behold in him, and you can't take away something that is precious!" Rikka knew she just a moment ago had attempted to kill what she thought was a monster, but now she knew otherwise. "Please, if he is Khane's brother, you cannot take his life away. You don't have the right."
"Don't talk to me about right," Risa snorted. "You tried to kill it to, it tried to kill me. Right now, the laws of your morals don't exist. Get over yourself and open your eyes. You're a fool to think that I give a damn," Rikka gasped at the curse Risa uttered. "Thanks for saving me, but it was Khane who did all the work. You're still weak Rikka. Stand back, and let the big boys handle everything from here. Anyway, Khane's obviously going to be fine," she sighed. "Mission ********' acomplished."

"Skully," The words were urgent as they left Van's lips. He recognized what was happening as the goop turned into death. He had read about the diseases when he had been bored and knew how they would manifest should he catch either one. He had been immunized to Anthrax but the Ebola still posed a problem and then there was Terri. He had know idea whether or not she was safe. We need something to filter the air pronto." They couldn't kill the toxins but they sure could keep them away.
Terri fumbled through her notebook for a second searching for the right pattern before grabbing Van's jacket and quickly going into a trance. She reached out and touched the delicate golden fibers that hung in front of her eyes. She reached out with her mind and pulled the strings this way and that connecting here cutting there till she was finished. She reached out one final time before pulling the hair thin string that served as a trigger and left to do this yet again but to herself.
It seemed like an instant to Van and Terri pulled away. He was suddenly in some kind of transparent bubble that was filtering the air he touched and breath, getting rid of all toxins that might do harm to him. Van couldn't see it, but he felt it like some sort of suite that clung tightly to his body. After another second terr was in one as well. "That'll work." He turned his attention back to Riezo and Anysi.

((Screw Jessie, the order is Matt, Summoner, Sage, and I'm teleporting Jessie out using the Psy Ops. Oh, and please, as a note, always read my entire post, the part marked with your name is just the part that is specifically to do with you, there may be other parts, like a possessed Erica shooting at Risa from behind with a 600 Nitrous Express that tend to get overlooked...)) "Oh of COURSE I can guarantee you safe passage, and as for the different parts of the center, just call up and I'll open them for you from here with my skeleton code." Otis was grinning a kindly old man grin, the one that could only end in the person receiving it shuddering out of disgust, or dieing on the inside.
---"Let's Handle this in order shall we... Mission isn't over yet, ******** you Risa you're a stuck up t**t with almost as many issues as Cthuhlu here..." Khane stood and straightened, the blackened skin on his back sloughing off as new skin reformed underneath it, a slight look of discomfort on his face."... god dammit that hurt... now continuing. Rikka you suck, you should stand up for yourself a little more. If you're supposed to be divine beings, you've got the greater potential power because your sister is a TOTAL b***h, and you're about the nicest person I've ever met. Now for WHY you can't kill my brother, it isn't because I care, it's because we need him to live long enough for more of my siblings to wake up, then we can use his blood to finish them all off faster. As a given they're all meant to contend with me, introduce them to Cthuhlu's blood, and they're zombies, so much easier to kill. Now shut up and get moving, there's loot to be had here, we're in the fugging Nexus Center" ---
The Psy ops felt a sudden surge of power, and dropped down, their final act being to teleport Shiia, Reizo, and Aynsi far away from Goldwind... Everything was quiet, the Ebola faded, antrax died, and there was silence. The Gun Drones had died, and nothing was coming up out of the Nexus Center anymore.

While a large part of Abel wanted to kill this guy he could not deny the fact that he was useful. He would let him help but only because from what he could figure out he was the only so called rescuer that had not made it into the complex yet.
"Fine I will accept your help, but I tell you right now that I do not warm up to people over the age of 20 very easily so expect a few hostile comments out of instinct. Now I can pay you if you wish but if you extort me I swear..."
Able was about to finish his threat when he remembered something really important.
"Aw s**t! I have no guns! How the hell am I supposed to deal with what ever the hell is down there when I am unarmed?"
This old guy seemed to have an answer for everything and if this worked out then maybe he could get himself some new, free weapons.

Van stood perfectly still starring at the empty space where the former fighting had been occurring before dropping to his knees broken. He had lost it now. The only shot of him being with Ciara was who knows where. It felt as if his world was crashing around him in that single instant.
"Grim?" Terri reached to touch his shoulder from behind to offer him some sort of comfort. She had no idea why he was so upset but it was obvious that something was wrong. She had never seen him this way before it was as if he had just stopped ticking like some sort of broken automaton.
Van gripped the dirt in between his fingers and clung to the cool earth. It felt solid, tangible, as long as he held on he could anchor himself to the earth. His breath became heavy and rushed, fire burned in his eyes until he let it all out in one primal scream that filled the air and floated on the wind. Van was standing now his browned hands held out to his sides.
Terri pulled back, this was a side of Van she had seen before and it wasn't pretty. He was angry and only two things could happen at that moment. He would either go into a blood lust and rampage or he would recollect himself and think more sensibly till later. Terri only hoped that it was the latter of the two options that he chose that day.
Van dropped his arms and turned around, "Come on Skully the last thing I want is to lose both a love and a sister in the same day. We need to find somewhere to get away from this mess."
Terri relaxed a bit, "Where?"
"Back at the school. The courtyard." They left for the courtyard Van constantly on guard for any threats.

As Max searched Erica's bodily systems to find a way to dispose of the child, parts of Erica woke up.
Her tears dried, and on the outside, her fangs elongated, and her eyes darkened, gaining clarity. Inside, a window opened up behind Erica and the 'original' Max, showing all that her eyes allowed her to, even though she could not move them.
Her conscious mind inside herself also dried her tears, and squinted against the light that flooded the room the represented her mentality. Her mind recognized his voice, and started to wake up.

((@_@ Sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry))
Rikka blushed slightly. She actually wondered why neither she or her sister had actually thought of using Cthuhlu's blood as a weapon, but he still posed as a threat to her and the one dear to her. "Alright, I think I can manage somehow!" Rikka said.
Rikka took a few steps back, and took a deep breath. She clasped her hands together and took another shaky breath, "The power of light inside my heart, take up physical form to aid me!" she started chanting. "The power of light inside my heart, becomes chains so that I may bind my foe and protect my friends, and my sister!" Rikka closed her eyes tightly, white light coming from her body, and her frame shivered with the effort.
The light that came away formed chains, and they floated along her body from a moment, forming circles of magic. Then they realized who it was who threatened Rikka, and then shot off towards Cthuhlu, some of them grinding into the wall as they sped off.

((summoner(who has forgotten about Risa), Winter, Matt)) "I guess that will do for now... Now my dear Rikka, with this new found dedication to your post as a guardian of the light, shall we escape from this place as fast as possible, or shall we stay a while, and deprive these evil men of weapons and equipment they would otherwise use to hurt innocent people, and take it for ourselves, so that it may be used to... whatever ends the bearer sees fit?' He grinned lightly. He was going to shape Rikka, he was going to shape Rikka into a strong, passionate, caring defender of the people, one that could likely strike him down in a moment of weakness... it was not for Rikka that he did this, but for Risa, so she may see everything she wished she could be and more, reflected in the sister she regarded so poorly... a victory that would never be taken from him, for to undo his work was to kill Rikka, which would only further hurt Risa, making her a wretch for killing her sister, and for doing it out of envy.
---
The baby had grown sick and tired of this. He gathered up all of the materials he could without shutting his host down, cut the umbilical cord, and created an egg around himself, one which he would push out ofErica's body the second he was in a sunny garden, where he could feast upon the water and light, and when he was born, the fruits, vegetables, and herbs planted there.
---
The old man though for a second, then had his answer."Well you could always head to the Alpha or Beta complex... I can disable all of the auto defenses, and mark you as a friendly, then you can arm yourself as you will. From there it all becomes a matter of preference.. do you want the handgun with the smart bullets, or the missile launcher with the drill heads?"

Abel's eyes began to tear up at the sound of the prospect of such new toys and the ability to wander freely, it was heaven.
"Old man, I would hug you right now if it weren't for the fact that I am in a hurry. But know this, you have been proved your worthiness and you will live and may even receive a gift if all goes well. I thank you and wish you luck."
Abel was way too happy to care that he had just been nice to a senior citizen. He was going to have new toys and the ability to abuse them, he was happy. He then got into the elevator and prepared himself for the fun that was ahead.
"Alpha complex:Weapons, kill toys, and bathroom upholstery please."

((I did not forget about her, look there she is standing around like a party pooper doing nothing))
Risa snorted and crossed her arms, "Don't listen to him Rikka," she commanded harshly. "This man is more vile than the ones with weapons. If you listen to him, you'll end up with a soul as black as his . . . oh wait he has no soul. I had almost forgotten."
Rikka looked at her sister with shock racing across her violet eyes and then she looked to Khane and wondered what to do. If he was right, and she supposed, than innocent people could end up getting hurt. She nodded her head than, "I-I think we should help," she murmered. Then she repeated it again, "We should stay and fight! I'm not helpful, but I can do my best!"
The corner of Risa's mouth twitched, "Don't you see? He's putting on an act for you Rikka. You're too nice, why don't you just say no already? When you get into trouble I am not going to help you. Do you understand?"
"I . . . well . . . I rather be to nice than the opposite," Rikka admitted, lowering her eyes. "I want Ryuu-kun to be proud of me when he comes back, when I see him again. I want to be strong so that I can protect him like he does me. I came here to change myself, not to be the same old Rikka!" she turned then looking at her sister. "You have to understand, I don't want to be a shadow of existence any longer, sister. I want to be Rikka, and not just your twin!"
"You'll always be my twin," Rikka said. "If you're going with HIM, I'm leaving."

Erica snapped out of her mental daze, and screamed in pain. Completely unknowing what just happened inside of herself, she clutched her now hardened stomach and fell over. Max had dissapated and her conciousness had come back to herself now that she and the baby were no longer connected.
"What....the....?" The first though of Erica's was that she was having a miscarriage, and she knew nothing of what to do. Her mind when into panic "SAVE THE BABY!!!" mode as she clutched her womb and cried both in pain, and sorrow.

((Winter, Summoner, Matt)) The baby sat in its new egg, and pondered the implications of his new plan of action. He would have to go into hibernation to conserve energy... but not before he figured out certain important details. He would live with his father of course... because as lack luster the care he would receive, at least it would be stable, free, without restriction, and non lethal. He also needed a name. Uriel sounded nice to him, Uri for short for those whom he allowed it... or who he couldn't stop such as his father.
---"What's got your panties in a knot Risa... aren't you the one who's all about killing the infidels? And so what if I don't have a soul? Makes doing my job easier. You know we aren't that far off in our work... all of the men I kill, corrupt officials, mob bosses, drug lords, the occasional Despot... In fact I might just be a bit more effective than you. My actions have stopped Genocide on more then one occasion... many more... Seems that with my complete lack of soul, I have affected more good unto this world than you ever will... Do you know why that is? That is because Good never wins against evil... when it appears that way it is simply that evil has turned in on it's self, and reduced it's self to nothing, leaving good to stand around and wonder what the hell just happened... And to claim the victory of course..." He grinned and stared Risa down. He was god right now."I suggest we head for the Alpha Complex... it will have the most destructive of the toys... I mean weapons..." ---
The elevator chimed in error. A button Flashed, there were but two buttons. One said GOLDWIND OFFICE, the other read TAU COMPLEX. It was the latter of the two that was flashing. It seemed that the Elevator could only go to the Tau Complex.

Rikka looked at her sister, and than back at Khane. "Alright," she said. "I'll follow your lead, Sir." She quickly straightened her hair and brushed off her skirt, although there was little to no point in her doing so. "I really don't know where I'm going so . . ."
Risa growled at Khane, and turned away. "Fine, go ahead. I don't care what you do. I'm leaving Rikka!" then she started to march angrily down the hall, the rage inside her growing until she wanted to just tear the head off something. That man just pushed all her buttons and ticked her off, and now he had consumed her foolish baby sister. Whatever, if Rikka wanted to ruin her life and waste away into nothing, so be it. She didn't care any longer.
