Alexia

Alexia smiled at Alfred. He really was getting better, and she rather hoped that this change would be permanent. "Thank you, Alfred...Thank you, everyone..."

Then when Medus reported back. "But...who could do something like that?!"


In the tunnels

"Mama!" wailed Beth, running to her mother's side in tears. Carol followed her sister, a fierce scowl on her face. She looked at the tunnels ahead.

"Beth, bring mom back..." Carol ordered.

"Carol?"

"....I'm going hunting. Jack, you're coming with me, aren't you? Let's go."

Minutes later, Beth returned, supporting the unconcious Francesca. "Ie! Ie!! Mama is-!"

Outside Belle's Room

Belle held out the gray metal suite case that held Imuka's prototype inside. "Here Imuka. Always gotta be prepared."She hand the Fox faunus her bow as well. "I grabbed them before we headed out. Hope you don't mind." she smiled a little to her partner.

Indeed Busted

"Haven't checked yet." Hope frowned when Beth carried in Mrs. Jade. "At worst it'll be just a video of them ridiculing us, but it might still give us clues as to their location to fill the right people in." Without further ado, Miss Remington activated Imuka's Scroll and gestured for Pius to come and see for himself.

Let's see.

Medus shrugged in response to Sophie's question. "He could have cheated to win. Maybe he used something that's specifically a weakness of hers. Could have been a fluke. Let's hold off on giving up until we've at least seen the guy in person."

ARBI

Imuka shook her head no, that she did not mind at all and hugged her partner, before she affixed the Inari prototype to her back, as it powered up one notable difference could be heard right away compared to her last set of equipment, this one could talk in a feminine electronic voice... and its boot up sequence was.... not pretty

"Warning:Siege Mode offline"
"Warning:Armoured Casing not found"
"Warning:Tool swap system offline"
"Warning:Daikyu production offline"
"Warning:Improper mixture of magnetic fluid detected, expect violent reactions to air"
"Warning:Tactical AI functioning at 70% capacity"
"Use of weapon-system in combat is extremely ill-advised, please do not proceed"

Although the fox herself, pretty much ignored every warning, and error message the machine insisted on spitting out, and continued along with her team.

With the Group With Alexia and Such

"Probably someone with a semblance that hit a natural weakness she might of had. It's not uncommon, some things just naturally overpower others because of natural balances. If he's encounter, it would probably be best to play defensively or not engage until the nature and limitations of what they're capable of is made clear."

Cyanea added after she was brought up to speed,

"Also, question, who here has fought or has a known semblance or style to this faction? It's entirely possible that they have prepared countermeasures in place if they're specifically gunning for Alexia for any known associates based on previous fights if that's possible."

ARBI

Imuka paused for a bit, slightly unsure but then nodded.

"I-I really only need the ability to fetch more ammo in the field, my drones while useful have very little application inside combat, and if I just used the 3 rockets I brought, I will be even less useful to the team then I normally I am"

Video File

The video booted up, showing a dark room with metallic walls. It looked to be...a workshop of some sort, with various devices strewn rather haphazardly across the room.

...Torture devices.

The Arcana's Magician stood in front of the camera, in a casual suit and tie. "Hiiiiii, everybody. Mike here. And this guy is..."

He pointed at the figure next to him, the Star.

"...My not-so-lovely assistant. Now, we're not supposed to be doing this, but I just couldn't pass up the chance!"

"Quiet," Pius told Cyanea as he kept his eyes on the screen.

This can't be good. The Nobel thought as he squeezed Alexia's shoulder again. He raised his Scroll to his chin.

"Medus, get over here now. We've got something."

Mike strode away from the camera so that his entire body would be seen. He seemed to be splattered with...a suspicious red fluid.

"You see, if there's one thing I hate...it's the scummy piece of shit we call government. Sammy here agrees with me."

"Now, you little kiddies...Well, we just wanted to educate you. Give you a little warning."

He started laughing. "Oh, man. It will be tons of fun. Too bad we can't show you the process, but I'm nice and don't want to traumatize your cute little brains."

"Oy, Sammy! You have anything to say to the nice kids before we start the lesson?"

Hope

The girl tensed as well. These two were present at the mall back then. The one that called himself Mike tried to get to her with some cheap insults, but then got interrupted by Alfred. The second one was simply crazy and shot pills all over the place... but what was all this? A torture chamber of sorts?

She watched, frowning.


Star

Aforementioned not-so-lovely-assistant, himself dressed in a long leather apron that one'd see at the butcher's, faked annoyance rather well. "Oh come on, Mike, don't be like that." He said before turning his attention to the camera. "But yeah, my Arcana buddy is right. Just don't tell our boss, will ya?" Phantom grinned cheerfully, displaying a shiny pair of pincers.

"But yeah, sure I do have something to say: this little stunt is specially dedicated to one Miss Alexia Vale. Samuel Phantom sends his best regards. Now, my-not-so-lovely-friend, let's get on with it, shall we?"

Video File

The video fizzled a little bit around the edges, and the quality dropped for a moment. Some grey smoke could be seen off in a corner from the robot malfunctioning. Then, A pale blue glow surrounded the edges, and the video quality cleared up again.

"Don't worry about it." Said a female voice. "I guarantee this thing will last as long as you need it."

The video bounced a little, probably from the speaker patting the leech.

Ayers rapped on Wiglaf Platinum again, more urgently this time. "Mia...?" He also frowned at Imuka. "Y'all okay with, like, watching this then?"

#3692: Jan 7th 2015 at 6:22:35 PM

Imuka was unable to reply to Ayers at the moment, her gaze fixed, her ears pinned, and her fangs showing, a side of the faunus not really seen before, blind to the world around her.

"Were they really doing this on their own?"Belle said wondering to herself. "No that's gotta be a lie. That'd be too stupid of them. Right?"

"...I'm honestly not too sure." Hope responded, shooting a glance at everyone present before focusing on Alexia. "You don't have to watch this, you know. They're just doing this to get under our skin. To intimidate us."

I'm used enough to gore, but she... and the vast majority of people gathered here, for that matter, I'm not certain.

Hearing Belle Miss Remington shook her head, letting out a small growl. "These two are, from what I saw at the mall, completely crazy. Bastards were probably enjoying themselves."

Video

Watching the gory scene with the other students, the rather pissed off brawler gave a hateful glare at the screen.

"Muthafuckas." Noa spat on the ground, a scowl on her face as she tightened her fists. "Sons o' bitches ain't got no sense 'r morals. Tha fuck they supposed ta be fightin' for?"

People like them were the absolute worst. They had to die, no doubt. Magician and Star, they were going to die after Devil. That, she swore with every last bit of hate in her grimy mind.

Gathered Students!

"Of course I don't want to watch this, Ayers! But I have to, don't I?!" said a young woman's voice.

Alexia turned to look at the speaker. "Charisse?!"

...No. Her eyes were a bright red. Her voice was different.

"No. Mia.'

"....Wow, these things are heavy."


A Few Minutes Earlier

Sometimes, Mia hated being a ghost. Like right now. The students were planning to confront dear old dad, and then some whackjob terrorists interfered and...

She would have screamed if she had a body. She hated being impotent like this-!

A thought hit her. She was a Grogdamn ghost. Maybe she-!

She looked at the Charisse girl. Female, Mistrali, about the same age. Faunus, unfortunately, but still the closest match.

Steeling herself, Mia took the plunge.

Er, hello. Mia Alexandros here. You...might have heard of me. I...I need to ask you a favor. I...want to borrow your body! Please! I want to do something! I want revenge with my own hands! I want to kill my loathsome father! On my Mistrali pride! You can take it back whenever you want! Please! I beg you-!

TEARS OF THE DEVIL

Jebidiah knelt, laying the red rose in front of the gravestone. "May Solus watch over you." He said quietly.

He was in an old graveyard in front of a church that had seen many, many better days. He wore a pair of jeans, brown shoes, a wool sweater and a pair of spectacles, He stood up, and walked in front of the next grave, kneeling and placing a flower. "May Solus take you."

NINETEEN YEARS AGO

Jebidiah sighed, running a hand through his rumpled brown hair. He wore his clerical uniform, and looked around. His congregation, marching with him, chanting, he could see children running through the marchers, young couples cheering as they tried to make a better life for their upcoming child; It made him happy to be able to be their Shepard. They turned around the corner of the small town road they were marching on. He had managed to restore his congregation with this march, fianlly all the violence would not be seen as the Faunus' doing.

A line of men, wearing the garb of officers stood, armed, the sheriff of the town stood, in one hand, a megaphone. The entire march froze,

"Wait here." Jebidiah said, raising his hands, empty but for the large leather tome containing the word of Solus. The sheriff smiled at him.

"Good afternoon Preacher."

"Sheriff." Jebidiah smiled, The sheriff looked over Jebidiah's shoulder.

"Jeb, I'm going to have to ask you to abandon this." He said sadly, "I know your heart is in the right place-"

"Surely-Surely there's been a mistake! We're not harming anyone-" Jebidiah stammered.

"I know, but people are worried that this may lead to a riot."

"A riot!? We want only peac-" A rock sailed over Jebidiah's head, striking the man in the forehead, he staggered back, cluthing his bleeding head, there was a brief moment of silence.

And then everything happened.

Jebidiah turned, the air was thick with the smell of gunpowder as he slowly turned around, his mouth hung open as he fell to his knees. "No." He said quietly,

Suddenly, the shooters froze, then one by one, they slowly removed their helmets, their faces twisted in sorrow as they all raised their handguns to their heads.

NOW

Jebidiah laid down his last flower, before standing up. "What I do, I do in your names." He said quietly to the empty graveyard before walking into the church to pray.

SOMEWHERE COMPLETELY DIFFERENT

Jack ran down the tunnel, looking around. "Hey! Carol! You're psychic right? can't you...smell them or something?" He shouted behind him.

At the Tunnels

"Ass, I'm a cyborg, not a psychic!" replied Carol. And she didn't even have her bio-suit on!

Cursing, Carol continued running. "Wait! There-!"


You Asked For This

"Aww, thanks Miss C. Can't do it without ya! Anyway, Sammy here is right! We have so little time after all!"

Mike picked something up. "First up, meet my little friend. This is Stevie. Say hi to the nice kids, Stevie!"

...It was an old man's decapitated head...mounted on a doll's body. The head itself was done with..makeup, lipstick, and a cute pink bow.

....Also, a rotting eye was hanging out from a socket, and there was a neat hole in the forehead. A drill hole.

"Oh, gods!" screamed Alexia, hiding her face in her hands.
