"Y'all gitting tired there?" Ayers put his hands on his hips and grinned cockily at the agent. "Just like a White Fang, y'all can't do nothing right! Org'nizashun ain't nothing but a buncha cocky idjits whut don't know nothing about running no terr'rist operations!" He started walking forward, arms held wide. "We're gonna give y'all the same chance the gator feller here got—run, now, 'fore we break something important. Are those there bits on yer head horns, 'r antlers? I wuz thinking'a popping'm off, but I wanted to make sure y'all could eventually regrow'm."
Cottage
Fay's expression returned to a neutral one as she went up and gave the girl a hug. "There there child, there's much you can still be taught, but one must want to learn for it to happen."
Post-Duel
Ieria, if Medus were to look at her, was staring at the ground in shame. "I...I am sorry. She confessed to me and I didn't know how to turn her down...but she said that she didn't want to continue it not even an hour or two later, I thought she broke it off for good." She shook her head. "I'm sorry...I didn't think it was important." She looked almost on the verge of tears from the recent events.

Medus leaned back and put his head in his hands. "Dammit Ieria. I know you just made mistake but please don't do it again. I mean..."
He pulled the snake girl into a gentle hug. "I thought it would be fairly obvious by now that I'm pretty laid back when it comes to relationship related stuff. I'm not against us having other partners besides each other but if we do that we need to talk to each other about it. Like...we could have avoided this whole mess that's happening right here if you had just told me about this when it happened."
-dramatic music ensues-Ieria sniffled as she pressed her head into his shoulder and began to cry into him. "I'm sorry...I'm so stupid...I've never..." She cut herself off as she bawled silently into his shoulder, shaking like a leaf. "I didn't want to cause anything..."
"I am nature's weapon. You are unfit to carry on your species, and I shall ensure that you do not do so!" - Charles Darwin, XCOM SniperWalking over to join Ayers above the downed swordsman, Johnny looked down at his fallen opponent and said "I've got an idea of how we can keep this sonofabitch from attackin' us while we get aboard the ship. It's a bit cruel, but it'll keep him out of commission for the foreseeable future. Basically, I suggest we break his legs."
Medus sighed and began stroking Ieria's hair as she cried. "It'll be fine. I think this wouldn't even have bothered me if not for...well stuff from a while ago. But that stuff happened so I'm kinda bothered. It's...I mean...just be more careful if there's a next time, okay?"
-dramatic music ensues-"I...I..." She tried to speak, only to blubber incoherently as the water works renewed again, she was so scared of everything now. "I u-understand...m-maybe I c-can help with y-your thing t-too..." She stammered out through gasps of breath.
"I am nature's weapon. You are unfit to carry on your species, and I shall ensure that you do not do so!" - Charles Darwin, XCOM SniperMedus scratched her scalp gently, trying to calm the girl down even a little bit. "No, no, it's better that you don't. If I never have to explain what happened to you in detail...Well let's just say I'd rather not have to deal with it myself, much less drag you into it."
-dramatic music ensues-Docks
The man smirked. Quick as a flash, he was back on his feet. He spoke for the first time.
"Are you just going to watch, then?"
A girl's voice answered. "Don't be so dramatic."
And a flying blade propelled itself towards Ayers's back. The man grinned again, unsheated his blade, and attempted to go for Johnny's throat.
Meanwhile, with Jack, the hull didn't even dent.
"Wasting your time, chum." Eddie giggled, landing next to him.
Palace
Percival surveyed the battlefield, sighing at the pointless destruction.
Royal soldiers were gathering prisoners.
Percival looked at the young man next to him. "You're Alexia's friend, aren't you, lad?"
Olympos
Becky frowned a bit. "Why do you ask? I was ordered by my parents, of course. Don't you obey your parents?"
The girl's eyes were fixed at them, but the airship overhead seemed to be waiting for something.

Good to be backOlympos
Rufus slipped into an alleyway, out of sight. He switched Aspernor into shield mode, unsheathing the vorpal blade. He started leaving hole in the surrounding walls as he stabbed them and grappling hooked his way up higher and higher, preferably closer to the airship.
Her... parents? Fuck...
This was not something he expected. Who in their right mind would send their kid to do something like this?
"Do you know why your parents wanted you to do that?"
Docks
Instead of letting the man's sword give him a throat piercing, Johnny instead chose to hook the sword's blade with his axe and let the blade run along his torso. Johnny followed his parry up with a fist sent flying at the swordsman's face and a shout of "You fight like a guddamn dairy farmer!"

"Very nice," Davros said, looking at the crate. "I have found the things! Maybe."
He used his hand to grab a scoop of the green powder, and ate it to see what it was.
Royal Palace
"That depends on what she thinks of me, sir." Pius replied, using his Semblance to survey the area for any stray Auras. "I did embarrass her last night, after all."
Cottage
Urujauni stiffened for a moment when Fay hugged her, surprised at the old woman's swiftness to forgive.
Never show weakness. She heard her father's voice. Not to me, not to anyone, or they will have power over you.
The Atlesian girl pondered these words, then returned Fay's embrace as warmly as she could manage.
"Alright, then." She said as she broke the hug, a small smile creeping into her expression. "I want to learn right now, Fay. When do we start?"
Allurand and surrounding world loading, 28%...That cowardly tactic wouldn't work on Ayers twice! He whirled around as he heard the voice and swung at the blade as it came in, deflecting it up to his hat—resulting in it slicing off a good corner of the hat, and a sizable chuck of hair. He stared blankly ahead at that part. "You sumbitch, I wuz gonna donate that hair!" He scowled, and followed the blade's arc after it clipped him; either it was going to return to the woman, or he was going to take it for himself.
Post Duel
Ieria shook her head as she buried it further into his shoulder. "I do not like secrets...but I understand..." She murmured as she hugged him tighter. "I really want to help you as you help me though...maybe I can...ease your mind..?" She asked, tugging at her shirt as if to suggest something.
Cottage
The Witch smiled a toothless smile. "We start immediately." She said as she broke off the hug. "I suggest you prepare yourself."

Medus raised an eyebrow and slowed his scratching. "You sure? Right now? I mean...it would help..."
-dramatic music ensues-Post Duel
Ieria nodded vigorously. "Yes...I want to make you feel better, and I really do care about you...so...if you would like me to..." She gulped down a breath of air as she seperated herself from him slightly. She looked up at him and gave him a weak smile after a brief pause. "Would that please you?"

Medus simply scooped the snake girl up off the floor and began carrying her out of the gym and towards the dorm rooms, snatching Nightshaker as he walked by. "Think we can get to our room without being interrupted? Better yet can you think of somewhere we won't be interrupted at all?"
-dramatic music ensues-Ieria shrank internally as she felt Medus lift her up off the ground. "Um..." She tried to speak only to blush heavily and look away from him in embarrassment. "T-there is a spot...I think I am the only one who knows about it, there is no surveillance or anything, and it is really out of the way. Um...not far from here actually." Despite her way of speaking, Medus could feel her shaking like a leaf with every word. "It is a little alcove, I do not think anyone aside from me knows it is there..."

The man moved his head slightly, making Johnny's fist only touch the side of his mask, and then quickly kicked upward, right into the pirate's balls.
Ayers followed the blade to the figure of a dark-haired girl in black and white, eyes narrowed at her new opponent. She stood, waiting for him to make a move.
As soon as Davros ate the unknown thing...well, he passed out. Cold. Not to mention rigid.
Royal Palace
Percival raised an eyebrow. "She never told me that. What happened?"
Olympos
Becky smiled. "Why? Why should I question them? They are my parents after all. Your questions are strange. Enough. And I really should stop your friend from reaching the airship."
A loud crack, and Becky was Juno once more, shooting a spiked tentacle straight at Rufus.
Nothing is what it seems. Master of Shipping and Sadism."It's nothing, sir." Pius tried to brush off the issue and point out more stragglers to the Royal Guard, but then thought to ask a question related to the matter in his head.
"If it isn't invasive, sir, may I ask your opinion of Alexandros and Olympos Corp? We both know they were the ones who funded Luna, even if we can't prove it yet. Do you trust them?"

Damn it!
Becky was getting more and more frustrating by the second. Can't be hit, can't be reasoned with. And killing her would not be worth the guilt it would cause.
Maybe Remus could—
Wait, he's out of Aura.
Post-duel
Medus tossed Nightshaker off to one side before responding. "Well you're right about that..." He reached over and pushed attempting to knock Ieria onto her back. "..Since we need to talk and all. Specifically about Sophie."
Palace
The rocked just threw up his hands and stalked towards the palace gates. "Oh sure, 'Sorry I through part of an airship at you.' He says. And here I am nearly getting flambeed"
