the Clinic (Open character-based RP)

[ QUOTE ]
When someone opened the door, Ed reacted without thought. His fist flew toward the door and he punched the air and although he was over 15 feet from the door, some force smashed the door off its hinges. “I would turn around if I were you,” he called out to whomever was just about to enter.


[/ QUOTE ]

The door hit Kruth'T, and it hurt but not very much. So he pushed the door off of him self, and glaced at Sis (mostly to enshure that she was alright). Confirming that she was fine Kruth'T trunrd his full attention on Edward.

As he took a steep forward the darkness surrounding him deepened. Suddenly bits of what was once a white robe exploded outward, it's destruction mostly due to a combination of increesing dimensional disturbance, and every spine on Kruth'T body suddenly beeing unsheathed.

“Nice to meet you too,” Sis called out.

“You must be Edward.” .... “Are you always so welcoming? Or do we get special treatment?” .... “Oh, I know…you’re just thrilled to make new friends, right?”

[/ QUOTE ]

"Seeing as how this is the first time we have meet, it somehow seems less then frendly to throw doors at people." His voice seemed calm, and steady neither sarcastic, nor angry. "However, I have not been on this world for very long."

To Sis "I'm going to have to fallow your lead with this being."

[Leo]((The way I read that, Ella backed off where Ian was and let herself fall down a vertical vent, right?))

((That is correct. The way that I envisioned it was that they were at the same level and she voluntarily dropped down a vertical shaft. What you have written is fine))


The great ringing knocked Kia to her knees while she held her head. She wretched once but managed not to vomit. She was obviously in great distress from the psychic emanations.

Since Whip seemed to be doing better Hali left him to go attend to her friend Kia. She watched Kruth’T and Sis excuse themselves to investigate the source of the disturbance. It was about this time that the medical staff started to arrive on the scene including Whip’s doctor.

---

Ella was upset. This was obvious. She had done something bad. That made her a bad person, no matter that everyone kept telling her that she wasn’t. (In her mind) She was also not getting better, despite what the doctors kept telling her. If she were getting better she would not have hurt Whip like she had. Of course she wasn’t completely rational. If she were she’d have know that the feelings of remorse and guilt she felt over her actions and the she had healed Whip was all evidence that she wasn’t bad.

There was a time where she would have crushed both of his arms for hugging her. She wouldn’t tear them off. That would have been messy and Ella was conditioned to be very neat.

The self-loathing emotional part of her brain wasn’t the only part that was active. There was a rational part that was active. Unfortunately it wasn’t working to help her understand this situation. It was working on another plan, a plan to escape.

It was then that Ian interceded with her fall and arrested her decent by catching her delicate white wrist.

Ian would be initially surprised by how much the small girl/woman weighed and would need to immediately brace himself to support them both. ((NOTE: Ella actually weighs less than someone of her size/build but there are other factors at play here))

Ella was covered in dust and dinge from her crawl around the vents. Her eyes were the exception to the grime that covered her. Having recently been wiped on her sleeve. Her milky white tears floated from her sad eyes as she looked at Ian trying to support her.

“let me go…I don’t want to hurt you too” she pleaded.

Her weight again doubled as a golden glows started to form around her small hands.

Blood from Ian’s wrist wound ran down his arm and then her’s. The blood made Ella’s fingernails turn bright crimson to match. Soon there was enough blood between their grips that Ella slipped out of Ian’s grasp and plummeted like a bullet into the darkness of the vent shaft.

Golden bubbles floated up the shaft and instantly healed Ian’s wrist. There was a loud crash a second later as Ella crashed though the bottom of the shaft.

Motion attracted Ian’s attention to his immediate surroundings, as a squad of Clinic security officers approached the damaged vent. The closest security officer had a scanner, which he now aimed down towards the ground.

“She is in the locker room” he reported into his lip mic.

Another officers stepped up pulling a large canister from his backpack. He pulled a pin from the top of the canister and twisted a dial.

“Sealing the vent!” he called as he tossed the canister into the hole that Ian had made.

((Leo you can decide if you want to jump in before he places the canister in the vent or step in his way, or more precisely not step out of his way)

---

((Btw, I am placing the gym underground, so Kruth’T/Sis would have descended some stairs. There is a normal standard exercise gym at ground level, but anything that involves superhuman exercise is below ground))

Sis and Kruth’T would hear a muffled crash from the eastside of the gym. On that wall there stood the door that lead to the men’s locker room. The crash was distant enough though and nothing in compared to the noise Ed had been making.

Doors to the north crashed open and two squads of the security tactical team raced into the room. They were (mostly*) content with ignoring the three heroes and immediately proceeded to the locker room door of the men’s locker room.

“Please stay back we are responding to a situation” Brice instructed the heroes in his clipped military fashion without breaking stride with his squad.

“We are to maintain a blocking action until backup arrives.” Brice instructed the present squad. The tactical teams spaced themselves widely from the door. Four separate officers all armed with Sap-packs trained their weapons on the door. Two others with the large barrel net-guns or man-catchers also aimed at the doors. The remainder of the team checked their distance to the door with laser range finders and held their sap-sticks at the ready, while the man with the scanner watched the small blip that indicated Ella’s position slowly approach the door. That is until the blip disappeared entirely.

“Central we lost the tracker, can you confirm if you still have signal”

Brice grimaced when the response came back.

*(Mostly: Brice would radio in that Edward was here but I’ll leave that situation entirely to Leo)

((Cute avatar Pyrria!!!))

“let me go…I don’t want to hurt you too” she pleaded.

[/ QUOTE ]

“Huh!? Why? Just come with me and-” Ian’s conviction was broken by the amount of strength he now needed to hold Ella up. The cut vent started to rip away at his flesh before he readjusted himself by lifting himself up, his feet and free hand planted on the outside wall to brace himself as well as place the arm that grasped Ella at a steeper angle down the shaft so the vent was no longer stabbing him. But now, his wound flowed more freely and made his grip more slippery.

Crap! I can’t….keep my grip he groaned in his head before finally she fully slipped from his hand which caused Ian to jolt backward and onto his bum. He didn’t bother looking at his wound, which was miraculously healed now although the hand wrap was still red with blood. Ian dove down the shaft, letting himself fall until he was close to the bottom and used his hands and feet on the sides of the shaft to slow his decent. Ian landed expertly in the locker room where the vent had been forcefully opened and looked around for Ella, sure she had been injured by the fall. With a little focus, he managed to activate the sight he had used before to track Ella so he could pinpoint her once more.

“Just slow down,” He called out into the empty room. “I don’t know if you like it rough but I would rather this not get overly physical.” A hand now rested on his bokken as his eyes shifted to find the elusive girl.

~~

Edward’s brow just narrowed at Kruth’T’s and Sis’ words. When the security started to swarm in, but apparently preoccupied with someone else, Ed started making his way toward the door. “Well, it seems my workout is over,” he growled and walked past the two. When another member of the security team rushed in but accidentally bumping into Ed as he was walking out, Ed pushed the guard out of the way. Although the shove looked closer to a gentle nudge with the forearm, the squad member was violently thrown against the wall which cracked under the force. Now the disgruntled patient made his way outside. It was unsure if he just wanted some air or if he was going to devise some strike to attempt an escape but he looked pretty treacherous.

[/ QUOTE ]

Whip smiled as he saw the familiar purple eyes of his doctor. He wasn't the head of magical medicine, but he did have experience with magic that would make some high-level magi look like mere apprenticies. Most of his body was covered with seals and trinkets, but it was clear that he had something to do with Whip's treatment, judging by how the two reacted.

"I heard something going on from my office. What've you been up to?" the doctor, who seemed to have no form of identification on him asked as he ruffled Whip's hair.

Whip shrugged. "Dunno. Whip go sleep and then all this happen," Whip replied as he pointed to several magical burn marks that were just starting to show up. With a look of shock, the doctor cast a teleportation spell that sent Whip back to his room in a somewhat sedated state (for once).

He stood up and faced the remaining heroes. "Forgive me, I am Doctor Talos and Whip is-hm, how can I put this...the circle have a great interest in his potential magical power. Was he having some sort of monologue with himself just before?" Talos asked as he rubbed where his chin would be, if not for a series of seals that covered that area. If he didn't get to the bottom of this, it could be dangerous.

((Sorry I haven't been around much, but I have assignments and junk...))

Sis gave Kruth’T a sidelong glance. “I was being sarcastic…and basically, if he wants a fight, we give him one.” She grinned, cracking her knuckles. “I mean, what good is training with a pole that can’t hit back, right?” Tilting her head to the side, she regarded Edward calmly. There were more sounds coming from the other side of the gym, but she ignored them for now.

“...since when does a clinic have a SWAT team?” Sis looked at the squad incredulously. They seemed to be ignoring the current standoff, which was a relief. She wouldn’t mind a solid one-on-one fight, but plowing through a mob of security personnel, some of whom looked like they were carrying Malta-like weapons, did not sound appealing.

“Okay, you do what you gotta do, man,” Sis responded to Brice, turning back to Edward. “Hey! Where do you think you’re going?”

Edward’s brow just narrowed at Kruth’T’s and Sis’ words.

“Geeze man! Take it easy, will ya?” Sis started to jog after Edward, the heavy rocks on her shoes slowing her down some. “Gah…off!” The rocks seemed to melt back into the earth and Sis put on a burst of speed. She angled to get in front of him and halt his progress. “Dude, you are in a seriously bad mood. What gives?” Sis backpedaled a little as he walked, making sure to keep in front of him, whichever way he turned. “Ian isn’t that irritating, is he?” She flashed another grin, this one a little friendlier than before. “He’s who you’re trying to dodge, right? I wouldn’t stress, he took off after some other patient chick.” Sis chuckled a little. “Rescue instinct, I guess.”

((Thank you Halo! Glad everyone likes it. ))

Soon after the crash sounded, Kruth'T's eyes locked on the door. the sound of a familiar heart-beat came from beyond. Ella? What she doing in there?

He heard the security team, long before they entered the room, so he was not surprised when they burst in. Their decision to focus on the door made Kruth'T puzzled. Soon after a second heart-beat joined Ella's.

Is she in some kind of danger? No they are reacting to her! But why?

Kruth'T immediately checked the fallen guard. He seemed alright, but dazed and unfocused. Healers (or so Kruth'T assumed) swarmed over to assist their fallen comrade.
Kruth"t heard Sis and Ed move down the hall, but chose not to fallow when he heard

While his hearing was currently at it's best, his translator couldn't 'hear' what the person on the other end had said. However he could easily guess that the answer was not an affirmative.

((Sorry long post, I think I got everyone))

After Ian had leapt into the vent the squad dropped the canisters in. There was a sharp crack as the canisters burst filling the vent with rapidly expanding and hardening foam rendering the vent impassible.

---

It took two of his fellows to pull the guard that Edward had shoved back out of the wall. Once free they activated a trauma-patch built into his body armor to alleviate his wounds. As they reported to the Security Center the second situation.

“Command this is RED team….”

---

[Doc Talos] "...Was he having some sort of monologue with himself just before?"

“Oui, he was speaking to himself briefly just before” Hali hurriedly recited the words, though not accurately she got the general meaning across. She continued to rub Kia’s shoulders as her strength came back slowly, but was again sapped by the last wave of psychic emanations.

Though gritted teeth Kia harshly spit out the words “Get this [Censored] thing off me” she raised her arm indicating the glowie on her wrist.

---

[Ian] With a little focus, he managed to activate the sight he had used before to track Ella so he could pinpoint her once more.

Ian spotted Ella with some difficulty as her form shimmered in and out of focus, even with the enhanced vision. She was perched precariously on top of a row of lockers tinkering expertly with something in her small hands. There was a small spark and a pop and it was then that she disappeared from the trackers.

[Ian] “Just slow down,” He called out into the empty room. “I don’t know if you like it rough but I would rather this not get overly physical.” A hand now rested on his bokken as his eyes shifted to find the elusive girl.

Ella’s head whipped around to face Ian. She knew that he shouldn’t be here, but also knew that he just might help her too. Ella placed the object that she was tinkering with back around her neck. She shifted a few feet to her left and tore off her jacket. She ripped a stripe of cloth from it and tied it around her arm that was cut in her fall. Droplets of blood floated upward from the wound before she tied the cloth around it. Once she had her arm expertly dressed she quietly shifted position again.

She stole a quick glance at the clock and watched Ian intently. His posture with his hand on his bokken, the way his eyes shifted to follow her as she moved with the grace of a slinking cat. Her bare feet hardly made a sound as she crept along the tops of the lockers.

She lightly hopped to another row of lockers that placed her near the wall. Even slower she crept along the row. Her fingers felt her way along the wall until she stopped and checked Ian’s position once more.

Without warning she punched her hand into the wall. The tile work shattered under her fist. There was a huge flash and buzzing then all of the lights in the gym went out. The emergency lights clicked on a second later but when Ella extracted her hand from the wall with wires and conduit they too flashed out pulsing on and off. In an instant she hopped down to the floor and out of sight…

---

The lights went out in the main gym too, with the emergency backup lights pulsing on and off. The Security force had immediately switched to NVGs* when the lights disappeared but the pulsing of the emergency lights made their goggles flare uselessly.

*Night Vision Goggles

Brice took command, “Prepare particle grenades!”

Two of the soldiers placed their sap-sticks away, and pulled out 40mm grenade launchers. They loaded a 40mm grenade with a golden band designating its type into the chamber and locked the weapon into the ready position and awaited the command to fire.

Brice reported into the Security Center. “Subject has disabled the lights, and has rendered NVGs ineffective. Please advise on the ETA of that backup”

Kruth’T would be able to hear the reply. “Sorry BLUE team, backup has been rerouted to another matter**. You are on your own. Capture of subject still remains BLUE team’s priority”

((**Leo I give you full control of RED team to respond as necessary to Edward’s situation))

---

Ella rounded the row of lockers. Her posture was poised and alluringly elegant, and though her eyes were slightly puffy from crying earlier, her face shone with confidence. The change in mannerisms made Ella look years older just as her usual playful and light hearted self stole years from her, making people think that she was much younger.

“Oh, Mister Kelly do you want to get rough…” She drew her hand to her chest indicating herself and drawing attention to her breast, just as the emergency lights flared on. “…with me?”

Her voice carried a slight European accent that Ella had never used before at her stay at the Clinic.

“Why would you be so eager to pull that stick from your pants and come after me for?”

Ella leaned against the row of lockers from which she had appeared from. The pose was orchestrated to be seductive without looking forced, desperate or silly.

Doc Talos furrowed his brow. "Not good. I'll have to research this a little more. But first: return!" he said and with that, one of the many seals on his body flew off and literally tore apart, with each piece landing on a mysterious mark. As soon as they were all in place, the marks and seal vanished.

"Now that that's taken care of, I need to figure out what managed to slip through our security system. If you want to visit Whip before he gets out of his room, he's on the fourth floor, room forty two," Talos said as he vanished in a puff of purple smoke. Whatever had gotten into Whip, it was clearly an important matter...

Meanwhile, Whip slept in his room. It wasn't that much different to anyone else's room, aside from a large map of paragon city that hung up on one wall. There were five circles on it, three of which were crossed out. What the circles meant was beyond anyone's imagining, but to Whip, they represented victories. The arrests of certain members of the circle of thorns occoured in the places with crosses on them and those members, well, let's just say Whip had a personal vendetta against them.

((Note: Don't expect to see much more of the good doctor, I just needed someone to...y'know, be Whip's doctor for the time.))

Ed had been hastening the movement of his legs down the hall until Sis intercepted his path. He paused and narrowed his gaze, his eyes emitting odd transparent pulses of what looked like heat waves but there was no heat.

[ QUOTE ]
“Ian isn’t that irritating, is he?” She flashed another grin, this one a little friendlier than before. “He’s who you’re trying to dodge, right? I wouldn’t stress, he took off after some other patient chick.” Sis chuckled a little. “Rescue instinct, I guess.”

[/ QUOTE ]

“I wouldn’t be so sure,” Ed growled in response, knowing full well that Ian was moving closer to his position but that wasn’t exactly what he was concerned about. “What kind of mood would you be in if someone purposely tried taking away your powers? Performing tests and experiments on your body? Suddenly waking up and not being able to move your muscles?” His temper was in check and his voice was cool but the aura he gave off was quite hot in the rhetorical sense.

Suddenly, a few shots were heard from behind him. They sounded almost like gunshots but much less harsh and more quiet but easily perceivable from several hallways away. RED team had arrived and fired, their rounds consisting of tranquilizers with special sedatives. Despite their bullet speed, Ed turned and backhanded the nearest dart out of the air. A wave swirled and coiled through the air behind the path of his hand, similar to the heat-waves that pulsed from his eyes which deflected a few other darts but one managed to get by the wave of force and pierce his abdomen.

Edward lost balance and began to topple backward toward Sis where she braced him from hitting flat on the ground. His hands shook as he grasp the tranq and pulled it from his skin, crushing it in his grip. Ed wasn’t passing out or falling asleep even though the sedatives injected in him were easily comma inducing for most. “Now see why I’m in such a bad mood?” he grumbled to Sis as the 4 members of RED team approached.

~~

Ian began straining his vision to keep track of Ella, trying to focus varying amounts of chakra into the enchantments in his eyes. It didn’t take long to get to the point of pain which forced him to close his eyes. “Gah, that stings,” he hissed to himself and rubbed his eyes with one hand but keeping his other hand on his sword. When he opened his eyes again, his vision was back to normal and unable to track her like before. Instead, Ian tried to rely on his other sharp senses. “Man, I wish I had trained my senses as well as Lei did,” he grumbled while attempting to listen to Ella’s silent movements.

With a turn slightly resembling surprise, Ian was presented with a strange new Ella. At first he was slack-jawed. She had a more mature posture countenance, she was talking about stuff he was sure she didn’t comprehend and even her voice was different. He stared for a moment more before relaxing his defensive stance.

“Hehe, funny,” he chuckled and calmly took a few steps toward her. “I thought the stick jokes where over your head or something, although that last one was a bit….um…..heh.” Although he recognized her alluring stance, Ian figured Ella was just joking with him, somehow knowing how to get to him. “Well, stop fooling around. If we get you back to your room before they call in security ((I’m going on the assumption he jumped through the vent before team BLUE got there)) we both might dodge a scolding. Let’s hurry.” When he got close enough, he reached out to rest a hand on her shoulder to comfort her and lead her out of the locker room.

[ QUOTE ]

((I’m going on the assumption he jumped through the vent before team BLUE got there))

[/ QUOTE ]

((Yah, I gave you the option of jumping in before they closed it, but didn't indicate what the canisters were at that time.))

Ella stood watching the slack-jawed Ian with her alluring all white eyes she allowed him the time necessary for him to take in her beauty. She even added a slight sigh to heighten the effect of her sex appeal and draw extra attention where it might distract him most. Her white skin shone healthy and flawless under the glare of the emergency lights despite the grime from the vents.

[Ian] “I thought the stick jokes were over your head or something, although that last one was a bit….um…..heh.”

Ella smiled a broad knowing smile. It wasn’t her ‘normal’ bright energetic smile, but a practiced smile delivered expertly. The lights again dimmed casting her into shadow; her form seemed outlined in the faintest golden glow. Just enough to hint at her curves before the lights flared brightly again.

[Ian] “Well, stop fooling around. If we get you back to your room before they call in security we both might dodge a scolding. Let’s hurry.” When he got close enough, he reached out to rest a hand on her shoulder to comfort her and lead her out of the locker room.

Ella spun as she stepped into Ian’s reach so that his hand landed on her opposite shoulder, in essence having an arm around her. Her long flowing white hair cascaded softly over Ian’s arm. She interlaced her delicate cool fingers with Ian’s holding his hand in-place as her other hand slid around his back to rest on his waist.

“Why Ian, you don’t want to fool around with me?” She asked playfully, her fingers delicately dancing at his hip with a soft stroking motion at the very edge of his waistband.

Ella pressed closer to Ian, pressing her soft white skin against his muscular well trained form. ((I don’t think Ian has bulky muscles but is toned to an extreme; correct me if I am wrong))

“Oh! I’m getting your clothes all dirty” Again the smell of an incoming rain storm wafted over to Ian as Ella nestled in close. She dropped her voice an octave lower. “You don’t mind being dirty with me?” She batted her long white lashes. The lights dimmed again stealing away her suggestive eyes and leaving her warm breathe as it caressed his cheek softly, while her fingers continued to dance at his waist.

The pair approached the door to the locker room. At this point, who was leading who???

The instant Ella began to spin, Ian’s arm froze. He would have pulled it back but didn’t want to make her think she was threatening by withdrawing; too bad because now she was in his arms and holding his hand. ….um, well that’s not so bad….it’s kind of nice actua- Ian changed his mind when he felt a hand on his waist. He felt a temperate stirring in his stomach when Ella's breath warmed his cheek and his brain didn’t seem to be working as fast as it usually did, if at all.

[ QUOTE ]
“Why Ian, you don’t want to fool around with me?... Oh! I’m getting your clothes all dirty… You don’t mind being dirty with me?”

[/ QUOTE ]

He swallowed hard before opening his mouth to respond but his brain was actually processing slower than his body could react to, something that was always the other way around in every respect. “Aaaauum duuu yyyaaaee um.” A mix of a babble and a moan and he quickly shut his mouth to stop himself from looking any more stupid and shook his head to get his head thinking again. Get your head together, man! She is obviously just kidding around. Women don’t court men….it’s the other way around except it usually ends with a brush off or a slap to the face….you know that! Well, that’s how it usually ended for him seeing as he’d often go after older women but that’s neither here nor there.

Where at first he couldn’t keep his eyes from nervously exploring her curves, now Ian turned his head to the far end of the room. “Haha, y-you’re too f-funny,” he managed to stutter out and paused again. Yes, it took him a moment to collect his next sentence which is definitely not his normal behavior. “You are kidding, r-right?” he asked in an almost inaudible whimper as the two began to stroll to the exit.

Even though he got his mind semi-together, Ian was still putty in Ella’s hands at this moment. Seeing as he was definitely not going to make a huge life choice like his friend Hyun-ki did, Ian really needed a woman otherwise such a weakness would eventually get him killed.

Kruth'T was somewhat relieved that Ella was not fighting the other human. Although the odd things the other human's heart was doing did confuse him. As did her voice change.

Not that he could understand more then the occasional word anyways, but he got the general impression that they did not intend to harm each other. Or so he hoped.

Still he wished that there was a human here that wasn't a part of the security detail (seeing as how they would be annoyed if he started to ask them questions). Someone who could help him to understand what was going on in there.

Kruth'T was about to leave to ask the human woman who had accompanied him to the gym (seeing as how he doesn't know Sis's name). Then Ella, and the other human started slowly walking toward the door. This action forced Kruth'T to walk to the security leader.

While he know that they would not be happy to talk to him. The fact that Ella, and the other human were walking out of the room, in such close proximity to each other, went under the heading of 'Things that must be known'. It wouldn't be nice to let the strange human get shot for who he was with.

"Excuse me sir," Kruth'T said in a calm manor. "But you should know that Ella, and the human who is with her, are preparing to leave that room. They are moving very close to each other." he paused for a brief moment. "And before you ask. I know this because I can hear their heart-beats from here." With that Kruth'T withdrew away form the security personnel, so as not to interfere.

Kruth'T leaned against a nearby wall...

((I just felt like adding something ^^))

The leader of RED team slowly approached, hoping the sedatives were quickly taking effect. Edward was lying back, holding his side. The rest of his movements seemed non threatening though. “Are you alright?” the RED security team lead asked Sis, putting away his gun and pulling out a syringe while the other three members covered him, their guns still at the ready. “I…I apologize…I didn’t see you behind him,” he continued. It would most certainly seem odd that such an elite well trained group of men would make such a mistake but mistakes like that happened a lot when Edward was involved.

If one of those darts had missed and hit Sis, she might have been out for a week or two, maybe a day if she had powers similar to Edward’s. Anyways, the RED leader seemed slightly unnerved as he readied the syringe. His hand was shaking slightly and he seemed to hesitate a bit although that might be difficult to see in the flickering dim light of the emergency generators. “The situation is under control now,” he assured Sis in a shaky voice while the others reported to central security. As the leader neared the needle to Ed’s skin, his movements stopped and started and his whole body shook and after another moment he was holding his throat and gasping for air. The syringe dropped and rolled along the tile floor, stopping when it reached Sis’ feet.

Having disarmed his assailant, Ed thrust his palm into the abdomen of the team lead accompanied by a pshock that sent the guard hurtling into one of his other men. At first, Edward struggled to push himself to his feet but when he heard their tranquilizer guns prepping to fire, he seemed to be pulled up by an unseen force but it was too late. He was being peppered by darts from the neck down but he did not fall. His eyes just burned in anger as RED team fired with trembling guns at the unstable patient.

[Ian] “Aaaauum duuu yyyaaaee um.”

A tiniest of smirks appeared in the corner of Ella’s mouth as Ian babbled incoherently. It vanished again almost instantly, to be covered by her seductive smile once more.

[Ian] “You are kidding, r-right?”

“Oh, Ian, you think I’m a tease” Ella tilted her head to rest her cheek on the side of Ian’s shoulder as she snuggled in closer to him and gave him a warm squeeze.

---

[Kruth’T] "Excuse me sir,"….

“Sir please stay back” Brice warned Kruth’T without turning to look at him. However when Kruth’T words reached Brice he stopped and looked at who delivered them. His head whipped back around to address his team, just as the locker room door began to swing open.

“CODE SEVEN, I repeat code seven!” Brice shouted out the hostage code to his men.

Immediately several of the men started to shift the weapons they had in hand, and change their positions. Their entire containment protocol started to fall apart.

“Sir?” Asked the Soldier with the particle grenade at the ready.

---

Ella had timed their trip to the door perfectly. The door swung open just as the lights had fallen again, presenting Ian and herself to the scrambling squad of the Security Detail.

Ella lifted her head off of Ian’s shoulder; her smile vanished to be replaced with an fright.

(( Hey guys, miss me?))

Void Blazer had reached his room long before the chaos had started, but for a good long time, he just...lied there, as he collapsed to the floor still clutching his head. How long though? To him, he couldn't tell, it could have been minutes, hours, or even days. It didn't really matter to him at the time. All he wanted was the pain to go away."You shall return, or you shall die!" yelled the voice, into his mind.

Void Blazer had thought he had regained his ability to recognize himself as an individual again, but with this sudden appearance of the voice, he was broken of that. With a shaky voice he asked (Mentally), "Who...are you? We are our own! We will not be controlled ever again!" The voice replied wickedly, sending another tear through his mind like all the previous speakings. "That is where you are WRONG. You're our tool, and still remain as one!" If it were not for the macho nature of the human part of Void Blazer, he would have been crying.

Once again the voice began to return, "Are you ready yet?" it asked, almost innocently. Void Blazer had been shaken so much though, that he was no longer speaking just in his mind, but he was screaming at the top of his lungs. "LEAVE US ALONE!". The voice attempted to return, "You know we can't do tha-" But Void Blazer had cut it off with another shout, "We said...leave us, ALONE!"

As he rolled about on the floor there was a knock at his door, a scared voice, that which appeared to be one of a frightened employee said, "Hello? Is everything all right in there?" Void Blazer took no notice of it though, he was too busy having a verbal battle with the unknown voice.

But while only Void Blazer was aware of the voice, the voice seemed to be aware of everything around him, and this was the perfect opportunity for it. "See Void? My henchmen is already here to take you if he needs too."

Although this was not true, Void Blazer was too delirious from the pain, and found it very easy to believe. Finally, he began to cry. Flailing about, like that of a defense mechanism, darkness started to envelop him, and he disappeared from the room.

-Meanwhile,

In a dark room the "voice" in Void Blazer's mind, sat
grinning, in his Galaxy Archon uniform. Still grinning with a cruel smile he said, "Well, he couldn't take the pain, yet refuses to give in? Truly, he is one of our most foolish members." There was a slight pause, the face of the voice turned, "Still, it is for this reason as well, that he was one of the best, I guess I'll cut him some slack, and let him think he's free of me....for now anyway." *Classic evil laugh*

-At Void Blazer's room,

The frightened man was still there, knocking on the door. As he knocked, his curiosity began to overwhelm his fear, taking out his card key, ((I'm assuming that it's similar to a hotel in the respect that employees such as cleaning service would have keys/card keys to enter the rooms to clean them up.))
and placed it inside, opening the door, only to see a ripped up bed sheet, likely that of one that Void Blazer had tore at in his frenzy. All the frightened man said before leaving the room in a fright was a confused, "Uh...hello?"

-Back to Void Blazer

When Void Blazer disappeared, it appeared that he teleported away. In fact, he did. As a defense mechanism to avoid fatal injuries, he would perform a random teleport to escape his attacker. Unfortunately, he managed to land in the worst possible place.

When he opened his eyes, he found himself right in front of what appeared to be a security crew armed to the teeth. In Void Blazer's crazed state of mind, he was convinced that the voice had sent these men after him. Whispering under his breath he said in a fearful and almost, whining tone, "No...they found me, no!" Then he was shouting, "No, you won't take me, you won't!" Void Blazer hunched over, shaking, letting out some sort of grumbling. Moments later, in an explosion of dark energy, he turned into what appeared to be a giant lobster. (Black Dwarf). Screaming he said, "YOU WON'T TAKE ME ALIVE!", as he rushed head first towards the security crew in his heavily armored form, with his fists/claws (?) raised high.

(Welcome back. So what group of security types did you port in front of? The ones fighting Ed, or the ones aming for Ella?))

“I wouldn’t be so sure,” Ed growled in response. “What kind of mood would you be in if someone purposely tried taking away your powers? Performing tests and experiments on your body? Suddenly waking up and not being able to move your muscles?” His temper was in check and his voice was cool but the aura he gave off was quite hot in the rhetorical sense.

[/ QUOTE ]

Sis blinked in surprise. “Here? They’re experimenting on you here? That doesn’t make sense…this is supposed to be a clinic, not a mad scientist’s lair…” She ran a hand through her bangs and looked down at the ground, clearly unsettled by the news.

[ QUOTE ]
Suddenly, a few shots were heard from behind him. They sounded almost like gunshots but much less harsh and more quiet but easily perceivable from several hallways away. RED team had arrived and fired, their rounds consisting of tranquilizers with special sedatives. Despite their bullet speed, Ed turned and backhanded the nearest dart out of the air. A wave swirled and coiled through the air behind the path of his hand, similar to the heat-waves that pulsed from his eyes which deflected a few other darts but one managed to get by the wave of force and pierce his abdomen.

[/ QUOTE ]

“[censored]!” Sis exclaimed, rocks again appearing on her feet. She moved towards Edward, attempting to shield him, but wasn’t fast enough. “Holy cow…you weren’t kidding were you? What kind of place is this?”

[ QUOTE ]
Edward lost balance and began to topple backward toward Sis where she braced him from hitting flat on the ground. His hands shook as he grasp the tranq and pulled it from his skin, crushing it in his grip. Ed wasn’t passing out or falling asleep even though the sedatives injected in him were easily coma-inducing for most. “Now see why I’m in such a bad mood?” he grumbled to Sis as the 4 members of RED team approached.

[/ QUOTE ]

Sis propped him up easily. Angling herself so that she could move in front of him as needed, she eyed the four security guards angrily. “What the heck is going on?” she shouted as they approached. “What kind of establishment are you all running here?”

[ QUOTE ]
The leader of RED team slowly approached, hoping the sedatives were quickly taking effect. Edward was lying back, holding his side. The rest of his movements seemed non-threatening though. “Are you alright?” the RED security team lead asked Sis, putting away his gun and pulling out a syringe while the other three members covered him, their guns still at the ready. “I…I apologize…I didn’t see you behind him,” he continued. It would most certainly seem odd that such an elite well trained group of men would make such a mistake but mistakes like that happened a lot when Edward was involved.

[/ QUOTE ]

“…are you out of your mind?!? Hey, what are you doing?” Sis absently brushed a broken tranq dart needle off her arm. It must have hit her and snapped the tip off against her tougher-than-normal skin. Glancing around at the heavily armored guards, she stayed put, though she really wanted to just get Edward out of there and figure out what was going on.

[ QUOTE ]
If one of those darts had missed and hit Sis, she might have been out for a week or two, maybe a day if she had powers similar to Edward’s. Anyways, the RED leader seemed slightly unnerved as he readied the syringe. His hand was shaking slightly and he seemed to hesitate a bit although that might be difficult to see in the flickering dim light of the emergency generators. “The situation is under control now,” he assured Sis in a shaky voice while the others reported to central security. As the leader neared the needle to Ed’s skin, his movements stopped and started and his whole body shook and after another moment he was holding his throat and gasping for air. The syringe dropped and rolled along the tile floor, stopping when it reached Sis’ feet.

Having disarmed his assailant, Ed thrust his palm into the abdomen of the team lead accompanied by a pshock that sent the guard hurtling into one of his other men. At first, Edward struggled to push himself to his feet but when he heard their tranquilizer guns prepping to fire, he seemed to be pulled up by an unseen force but it was too late. He was being peppered by darts from the neck down but he did not fall. His eyes just burned in anger as RED team fired with trembling guns at the unstable patient.

[/ QUOTE ]

“NOW HOLD IT RIGHT THERE!”

Sis ground her teeth, scooped up the syringe, and stepped in front of Edward. A red glow seemed to flow across her body, almost like lava over rocks. The next wave of tranq darts seemed to melt as they hit her, falling harmlessly to the ground. If Edward needed support, he would be able to grasp Sis’ shoulder without being burned, despite the lava.

“I don't know what scheme you’ve got going here, but it ends now. No one takes another step until I find out what the hell is going on.” Sis’s gaze met each of the guards’ in turn. “I’m betting you don’t have anything in that clip that can take me down. So start talkin’.” She glared at the squad leader, who was pulling himself to his feet. “I’m happy to break this, unless I get a decent explanation. Then I’ll break you. You got ten seconds. Nine. Eight. Seven. Six. Five. Four. Three. Two. One.”


((Apologies for the delayed post. Work decided to swallow all my free time this last week.))

“Don’t listen to him,” groaned the RED team leader as he pushed himself to his feet.

“He’s just manipulating you!” said another before a loud rumble shook the floor. Ed’s head was drooping down and his limbs looked heavy but he was far from subdued by their weapons. He lifted his foot and stomped the ground, sending a visible ripple through the tiles, some tiles ricocheting off the walls, accompanied by a pshock wave that went through Sis who was now between him and those threatening him(but causing little movement to her rock covered body) and knocked the guard group off balance.

Ed’s eyes were glossed over and his body seemed to act independently from his mind. He whipped his arm out toward the offending guards, the pshock from the movement picking up the tranqs that were randomly scattered around him and hurtling them back to those that fired them. Even with their body armor, there was a good chance a dart would catch one or two of the RED team in a weak point which would certainly put men such as them in a comma.

Continuing his aggressive assault, Ed clapped his hands together, creating a strong wind and horribly loud bang that would definitely knock the guards around and put them in a stupefied state. But this was no ordinary super strong hand clap. No, this was Ed’s signature Seismic Pshock Wave move which would turn the quickly stirred up air movement of his clasped hands into searing telekinetically charged whirlwinds that would rip the tiles from the floor and rend the walls apart. But of course, Edward wasn’t at 100% due to the previous examination and various other circumstanses so the attack wasn’t at its full potential to the fortune of those in that hallway. It was obvious he wasn’t using digression on Sis’ account and simply wanted to remove all threats.

~~

This….this is wrong, Ian thought to himself when Ella flashed him that smile that was turning him to puddy. ….but it feels so right, his thoughts contradicted as Ella hugged him tighter which he gladly accepted.

When the two finally exited the locker room, Ian was semi brought out of his little fantasy. “Hey, why are the lights out?” In the locker room, he had seen the lights flicker a few times but he figured there was a problem with the lighting. He had been using his enchanted sight when Ella had destroyed the wiring so was oblivious that she was the culprit.

The next thing he noticed was the gathered BLUE team and he nearly jumped away from Ella’s grasp but instead more securely grabbed her, using his free hand to take her hand from his waist so it looked less obvious what they were doing. “Hehe, too late,” he mumbled to himself when he figured he couldn't get Ella to her room before the orderlies were called in then spoke up to the not-as-organized-as-usual security team. “Haha, um. I found her,” Ian laughed through a wide grin. “I think the situation is under control.”

Then he heard the loud clap of Ed’s and the shacking that insued through the room. “I bet I’m in trouble now,” he sighed.

[Ian] “Haha, um. I found her,”

Ella shot Ian a look of hurt betrayal. That he may or may not have noticed the look as she stepped to cower behind him clinging tightly to his shoulders.

Three of the Security force had taser guns at the ready. Though they were currently not aiming them at Ian or Ella.

“Step away from the girl!” The nearest commanded. Ella made a soft whimpering noise behind Ian and angled herself away from this closest guard.

The next closest guards aimed energy rifles towards Ian and Ella. Their fingers hovered near but not directly on the triggers.

“FIRE!” Brice shouted to the grenadiers tapping the nearest (to him) on the shoulder to go ahead. The grenadier took a knee and an additional second to steady his sights after the shockwave rippled though the room then launched the projectile.

The 40mm grenades sailed above the pair in its short flight. It looked as if they were set to air burst.

It was then a gigantic alien lobster creature arrived in a flash of energy. A confused Void Blazer on the attack.

Sis braced herself and grimaced. This had turned ugly a little faster than she had expected. She could feel the pshock wave pass through her, and was grateful to be so firmly rooted to the ground. Unfortunately, it made her very slow.

“Manipulating? What do you mean? And don’t think you’re off the hook! You haven’t explained this all too well yet!” There was tinge of doubt in Sis’ voice. Turning to Edward, she said, “Go easy man. That armor they’ve got won’t stand up to a whole lot of punishment, ‘kay?”

“Oh for crissakes…” Sis moved slowly over to Edward, waving a hand in front of his face. “Hullo? Edward! Edward, hold up man! They’re down and not getting up!” It was obvious to her that he was in a zone of some sort, and was going to continue to “defend” himself, even if there was no threat.

“Dammit, what did Doc say about sleepwalkers? Wake them up? No, wait that’s not right…” Sis brushed a few tranq darts off her body and sighed. “Edward! Wake up man! C’mon, knock it off, will ya?”

Sis blinked as her hair blew back from the force of the Seismic Pshock Wave. “Good gawd! EDWARD! STOP!” Reaching out, she tried to grab him by the shoulders and shake him awake. “Doc’s gonna kill me…[censored], Cat’s gonna kill me…” she muttered, putting herself firmly between Edward and the guards. Maybe if she broke his line of sight, he would snap back to himself. Sis had forgotten the syringe in her hand, which was now shoulder-level, needle pointed away from Edward.

“It’s not worth it man! C’mon, they’re just doing their job, I think. You’re gonna kill someone if you don’t stop!” She tried to shake him again, a worried look on her face. “Look, if you stop, I promise I’ll get you out of here quick. Well, to somewhere else on the grounds, buy some time at least. Okay?”

((Again, apologies. This week and next are very busy at work. =\ ))

Kruth'T watched the security force as they dealt with the situation. And was happy that the unknown human, and Ella had not been shot. However he was forced to wounder why they were terrified of Ella.

Well What do I know about her? Aside from the fact that she's human...
...
...
That's right not much.

Then the building began to shake once more. "Is that guy trying to bring the building down on us?" He asked him-self. then a stronger tremor ripped through the room.

That's it, I'm stopping this.

Just as Kruth'T reached the exit he felt a sudden gust of air as Void suddenly appeared.

[ QUOTE ]
Whispering under his breath he said in a fearful and almost, whining tone, "No...they found me, no!" Then he was shouting, "No, you won't take me, you won't!" Void Blazer hunched over, shaking, letting out some sort of grumbling. Moments later, in an explosion of dark energy, he turned into what appeared to be a giant lobster. (Black Dwarf). Screaming he said, "YOU WON'T TAKE ME ALIVE!", as he rushed head first towards the security crew in his heavily armored form, with his fists/claws (?) raised high.

[/ QUOTE ]

How Kruth'T managed it he never quite understood. Even latter when he attempted to reconstruct the incident in his mind, He still drew a blank. But somehow Kruth'T managed to get in front of Void before he reached the security team. In a desperate attempt to slow him Kruth'T He leaned against him.

"Void, it's me Kruth'T. Void stop, they aren't here for either of you! Please stop..." He chanted to Void.

Void Blazer was continuing his charge until he saw Kruth'T leaning on him,

Kruth'T: "Void, it's me, Kruth'T. Void stop, they aren't here for either of you! Please stop..."

Void Blazer should have been able to fling any average person across the room with his giant hands, but seeing Kruth'T amongst them, made him hesitate. For a moment he paused, there was not a voice in his mind at the moment, on top of that, no one was firing at HIM. This brought a bit of calm to his mind, but he was still left cautious from the voice, and the fear of what he had almost done to his friends, after he noticed the young girl Ella on the other side Void Blazer muttered quietly, "We're..sorry."

As he looked up though he noticed the grenade flying in the air. A fire reignited in his heart again. No, they are not here for us, they are here for our friends, we will not let them. No, I will not let them! Back into his battle spirit Void Blazer was once again at one with his existence ((For lack of a better term to use)). Void Blazer yelled, "Leave Ella and the boy alone!" Void Blazer was filled with rage again, all directed at the soldiers, in both cases, they were evil to him, weather they were after him, or his friends. Back in his battle charge, he continued on, incidentally it caused him to shove Kruth'T away, and with the form of a lobster, it's hard to tell how much force would have gone into it. Heading towards the soldiers he held in his hands, with his right shoulder taking the "lead" in front of him, he was going to ram into the soldiers/guards to halt the attack in one blow.

As Sis grasped his shoulders and shook him, Ed’s mind was flooded with confusion partially because the entire building didn’t rip apart like a blown up paper back as well as Sis being largely unaffected. Ed was also perplexed that he was no longer being attacked by the guards or Sis and so his fury began to subside but not before smacking Sis’ hand away from him. It might have been the sedatives in the darts or the dip of mental focus from his confused state but after releasing Sis’ grip on him, Ed lost his balance and toppled backwards and smashed into a wall.

“Don’t….don’t touch me,” he groaned to Sis while rubbing the back of his head. After looking around at the mess he caused and the guards he managed to assault, Ed glided to his feet and started to shuffle away, bracing himself by placing a hand along the wall. He looked tired out but that could easily change if given an incentive.

Meanwhile, the leader of the RED team made a quick call over the radio to central security.

~~

“Now wait a minute,” Ian replied with a nervous smile when told to step away from Ella who was now taking cover behind him. His hand subconsciously went to his waist when the rifle was lowered in his direction but it was a loose grip that laid on his bokken. “I don’t think Ella will cause anymore trouble. She seems fine now so maybe someone should just take her to her room so she can-”

“FIRE!”

As the grenade sailed toward him and Ella, Ian used a flick of his thumb to launch his weapon from his waist. It glided on the air like an arrow and the hilt of the bokken collided squarely with the projectile just as it was midway between him and the launcher. If it didn’t explode, Ian had his sword angled to knock the grenade to a corner of the room where it would affect the fewest people and his bokken would twirl back to his hand like a boomerang but if it exploded on contact, his sword may be launched in any number of directions yet unscathed.

Although it was as much of a surprise to him as to the guards of the new alien creature that was attacking, he hoped it would stifle any further attacks, at least until he could recover his bokken. This is getting crazy and I have a bad feeling about Ed….

((Hero Points to Kruth’T for his unorthodox approach of using reason!))

The Security Officer that Void rammed was sent sprawling. He sailed though the air a good ten feet before hitting the ground and sliding much further. He had barely managed to activate his kinetic shield, before being struck. Needless to say when he did eventually come to a stop he was very slow getting to his feet.

Ian’s bokken pinged off the grenade expertly, and his bokken bounced back to him just as he had expected it would. The grenade set to air burst hadn’t had the proper flight time to detonate when impacted by the bokken. The grenade was deflected back at some of the perimeter security personnel.

The grenade exploded in a shower of golden dust coating everything in its cloud with a thin film of golden particles. Making the two Security Officers in that area very easy to spot as the dust clung to their uniform.

“Command this is BLUE team led. We have multiple hero intervention with subject happy-camper requesting backup at this time”

“Code 3” Brice shouted over to the men. “Execute Tanker containment!” As he pointed at Void Blazer.

---

In the Security Center. Captain Roberts wasn’t having a good day, as he reviewed the medical status of RED team.

“RED team, maintain visual on patient Edward and setup a perimeter when backup arrives, medical personnel are in route to your location”

“BLUE team, be advised that trollers are in route. We have no ETA on the Specialist” ((The specialist is someone completely different than the trollers mentioned in the first statement))

---

Brice turned next to Ian and Ella. “Son step away from the girl. YOU are in danger!”

Elsewhere though out the grounds the speakers were repeating the mantra “Please do not interfere with the security personal as they respond to a routine incident. There is no need for alarm”. This of course went unheard in the gym area as the systems that Ella had short circuited affected this system too.

The few Security Guards squaring off with Void kept their distance. Circling away from the hulking alien. They coordinated taking pot shots with low power energy stuns, but those didn’t have a hope oh hurting him or even slowing them down. Then all at once the three guards hurled hand grenades. The grenades that they threw pulsed with a white glow as they sailed toward Void. ((SAP grenades))
