To be truthful with herself, Gaelle wasn't meant for haunted houses. The young Robot Master was made to keep her creator's children company- her [family, but she'd been spirited away for the amusement park away from home some time ago, apparel refit for a role as a minor ghost in the haunted house. It wasn't the nicest either - she was mistreated by the operators and often frightened, wanting to seek her robotic cousin. But some things had made it bearable - small things that made her feel better. The other robots were good to them both, and the main star, the vampire Robot Master, was a kind soul-- So when he was reprogrammed and stolen by Dr. Wily, Gaelle was absolutely positive he was ghne for life. Covering the losses strained the haunted house when they returned too. With only one robot master to command it all, it shifted to paranormal horror instead of vampire horror, and many robots scrapped in the fighting remained, grim props and a sad reminder of the kind spirits whom had understood Gaelle's plight -- and her cousin, who she saw little of now. She was painfully lonely now, and taken to wandering the house yard when all was closed and still, sitting on a stump tonight as she combed her hair, and looked downcast. All she wanted now was to cry.

It had been a long time since Shade had been back here. Stolen and rebuilt, given a purpose that was so very different from the work he had loved.... he'd been afraid to come back. Afraid, despite how much he wanted to. But after enough time had passed, he was able to work up the courage, and he picked up a rose from a flower shop half on a whim. Taking it with him, he approached his old home, and almost immediately he spotted someone that looked vaguely familiar. Stepping close, he held out the rose, and bowed. "A flower for you?" ... Hopefully this would be okay, and nobody here would hate him for ending up one of Wily's numbers...

She hasn't heard him approach, but no amount of reconstruction could HIDE the GENTLE souls of the Master she knew, and Gaelle turned, blinking before realizing... He meant her, and in a motion Gaelle hugged Shade tightly, hiding her face in his shoulder and trying to soak lost time feeling safe and wanted. She was silent, simply relishing his presence before accepting the flower, looking him in the eyes sadly. "I missed you. Can-- I have you Too? They've taken my cousin away... And..." And she sniffled, crying and re-burying.

"Why?" Shade asked, frowning as he hugged her, frowning. "I'm the only one Dr. Wily requisitioned... why would they take him away from you?" He remembered that she hadn't been built for the haunted house - that she had come from elsewhere. And if she wasn't bound here properly... "...Why don't I take you away, instead? Find your family?" He grinned cheekily. "And if anyone complains, they'll remember who I work for now and just blame it on my being reprogrammed for 'evil'."

Redbud-Tree "Why?" Shade asked, frowning as he hugged her, frowning. "I'm the only one Dr. Wily requisitioned... why would they take him away from you?" He remembered that she hadn't been built for the haunted house - that she had come from elsewhere. And if she wasn't bound here properly... "...Why don't I take you away, instead? Find your family?" He grinned cheekily. "And if anyone complains, they'll remember who I work for now and just blame it on my being reprogrammed for 'evil'." "Prevent thefts I suppose, but... " She clung, trembling. "They've gotten so scary. They didn't even remove the remains of the robots and call it atmosphere, and--" and she clung, tightly. "Please? These horrible people got even worse, and I'm scared." She finally-- finally shook. "It's horrid now! They don't think of us as people, just property, ever since they kidnapped us from home! Please... I want my parents, my sisters... And I want to save my cousin, too...!"

"We can go right now," Shade promised her, and obligingly scooped Gaelle up into his arms to carry her away. He wasn't entirely certain his new master would approve - but certainly he wouldn't disapprove of Shae taking someone from a place that treated her horribly. ...he'd just have to make sure he got her back to her home, and nt made into a Wily Number herself. He didn't want that for her. She deserved to be with her family, home and safe and above all, happy. Somehow, he'd make that happen.

Gaelle clung close to Shade, knowing it wiser to hold on tightly before smiling gratefully, looking up with a smile and tears of gratitude. "I don't know if they moved, but.. I can give the last address I have? They liked Yolie's school, so I'm hoping they stayed in-district for Lana..." Who wasn't a baby anymore, sadly. "Shad erg... Thank you. If we get to Daddy, I can tell him about my cousin. Then he can be saved too."

"We can start there," Shade said, and considered the options if they had moved. "If they left, they probably have a forwarding address, so we can find them easily enough I promise, Gaelle - we'll find them, and I won't leave you until I know you're safe with them again." Then he paused and considered his words, and added, "I'll still visit after I do, too - if they'll allow me, that is."

"Father is a man of fairness and reason." said, and hugged him, KISSING her hero shyly. "And I want to see you again..." Another shy, chaste kiss before she blushed. Would he think less of her for loving him more and more? She looked down, bright red as territory free familiar, and-- "It's Daddy's car!" Gaelle pointed, brightening before hissing. "...Somethings wrong. That's not home, it's not his parking methid, bu--" But below, soon enough, she spied mechaniloids engaging in obviously illegal, obviously not Wily-styled mayhem and a GROWL came from her throat. "Those mindless little assholes, when ai get my hands on then I'm feeding them to Shade man myself!" Was she a little furious?.... Maybe.

Sometimes, the best thing to do when someone was very angry was to let them go. So Shade did just that, letting Gaelle take care of the problem while he mulled over he fact that she had kissed him. He wasn't quite sure why she had - sure, he had been built originally to be rather charming; it was part of being a vampire after all! But... Rather charming didn't mean kisses, did it? Meanwhile, the owner of the car - Gaelle's father - was slumped over the wheel, unconscious, shoulder pinned and punctured by one of the marauding mechaniloids. He was clearly injured, but at least didn't seem to be feeling it at the moment - though he would once he began to wake.

Gaelle used her landing to tear into the mechaniloids menacing her father, taking a page from her cousin's book to split the machine in half before turning to the back seat. The mechaniloids were swarming a child no older than six, who screamed and hit them-- and Gaelle moved to shield her bodily, turning on the mechaniloids before hissing, reaching to Shade by INTERNAL radio. "They don't look to match your master's creations." She said, and swallowed, before forcing her way into their coding. She was a Master thpe, and if it could help... She was soon pricing over the creature, before hissihissing, forcing a termination on the mechaniloids near her before turning to Lana, picking the surprised girl up before gathering her father. Lana chirped. "GAE-GAE!" The girl was delighted, earning a smile as Gaelle walked, growling. More, attacking the children of the city and their families... Gaelle needed her father treated first, but until he was, Gaelle straightened. Lana tried emulating-- and spied Shade.an. She was not in a defense mood now, nor afraid, instead among brightly. "News-batty! Hello mister news batty, can I HUG you?"

Shade drew closer when he saw one of the human was wounded, but then hesitated when the child approached. Hesitated, and blinked in confusion, because most children thought he was frightening before Wily had taken him, to say nothing of now. ... But this one didn't seem to think so? "Uhm. Yes?" What else could he say? Meanwhile, in Gaelle's arms, Regula groaned.

Lana was delighted, running up and hugging Shade tightly, beaming. She was clever and good and if he came with Gaelle, was... Why, a GOOD vampire like Yolie's scary comic! "Uhm, him. I'm Lana, thankoo for saving my sister mister Alucard!" Gaelle half-twitched. She likedthose books too but really, Shade was too nice to be Alucard. Instead, she worked on mending Regula with first aid gently, as he's taught when Lana was born. Well, Lana grew out of sickliness, but good habits stayed, and Gaelle softly grumbled to her father, using her costume to create wrapping for his hurts.

"...My name is Shade," the vampire said, torn between amusement at the little girl's audacity and affront at being compared to Alucard. Really. There were better people o be compared to! "...But you're welcome." There was a low groan from the unconscious man, but Regula didn't stir. Not yet - he was too deeply unconscious to come out of it so quickly.

"Shade!" Lana parroted, and smiled happily, tucking into him. "Did you save Gae-Age? Does Mister WILY let you eat cookies? Do you like animals? Yolie's boyfriend burns stuff do You? Will DADDY be okay?* Lana was unafraid and keenly observant, but knew-- knew!-- Gaelle would never let bad people hurt her family. Not after the bad men took Gae-Age and big Zen instead of kidnapping her and Ce to for much worse.... Neither woulzwould. Gaelle sighed, holding Regula close to her core and looked to Shade, frowning. "Mechaniloids. Based on what I peeled out, ones sent for kids. Someone has master's and a Vendetta. Ideas?"
