"I wouldn't bet too much on that. Elmadan has PSI. He might be able to sense that he's not talking to me.", Greyface says. Pseudo gets out of his chair.
"Then we have two things to take care of now. We'll think up a good lie to fool Elmadan, and if that doesn't work, fight him, while me and Loki can soon try to trick Porky into giving us information."
He smiles.
"We might actually, finally have some sort of starting point on how to deal with the Assassins if all this succeeds."
"Don't worry, I've had worse wounds before. It'll take me a few days of rest. As long as Logi doesn't find me, I'll be alright."

"I certainly hope the rewards from this plan will be worth the risk. Anyway, Pseudo, has there been any word from Locke in regards to his participation in a certain rescue?"
"Alright. Now, on a different note, what kind of hideout did you choose? A cave, like me, or something else?"
He looks back at Thor.
"I haven't heard anything from him yet, though I think he's in the cafeteria, so if you want to talk to him, you can go there."
He points at the hall to the right.
"Go all the way across that hall, then to the left, 5 doors through and enter the door on the right."
"Yeah, a cave that's slightly buried under the sand. I figured it'd make it harder for them to spot me, even with Andropov's crystals."

"Right. Thank you, Pseudo."
Following Pseudo's instructions, Thor proceeds to head down to the base's cafeteria.
Anthony gives a slight smile.
"Heh, clever as always, Zola. In all honesty, I've always admired that about you."
Once in the cafeteria, he'll see Locke sitting at a faraway table, drinking some coffee.
"Thank you. I've had a lot of time to learn these kinds of things when we were traveling while hiding from Lord Nene."
She can be heard shuffling around a little, wincing once.
"Sorry, I had to reposition myself a little. My non-hurting leg was starting to fall asleep. ... speaking of sleep, I should probably rest a little soon."

Divine Burden
A smooth looking man in a suit emerges from a door, looking fairly amused by his surroundings
Fallout 2? More like Fallout 2 bad.
Thor walks over to Locke's table, then sits down across from him.
"So, Locke... have you given my request any further thought?"
"I understand. It was great talking to you, Zola, and I can't wait to see you again."
He looks at Thor as he sits down. He looks slightly better than he did last time, when he looked more like a tired wreck.
"... I have.", he says.
"The mission you need Ain for is an incredibly important one. Pseudo gave me a few more details on that. So I understand the urgency."
He looks a little concerned.
"But do you really think I could be of help in saving her?"
"Neither can I. I'll contact you again when I've rested up a little. ... oh, and... thanks for being there for me."

The man smirks and departs.

"Of course," Thor replies with a nod. "I wouldn't have approached you with such an offer otherwise."
"You're welcome. See you soon, Zola."
"You're speaking so confidently of me, despite how potentially dangerous my powers are.", he says. "... The fact that you're so confident is kind of insipring, I'll admit. And there's a lot resting on this plan's success... infant lives..."
He closes his eyes, going silent for a little while. When he opens them again...
"Alright. I will help.", he says.
"Yeah, see you soon, Anthony."
The connection is stopped.
Courne
◊, flying high above Noctilum, notices Vegeta and immediately starts to descend.
Divine Burden
Vegeta stares up and notice Courne, he folds his arms.
"Humph ! I hope for your sake that you have earned some power." he says, sensing Courne' ki.

Noctilum
Mitch is around near Vegeta and Courne, taking a stroll. He's in his casual attire right now - tank top, shorts and bare feet.
Thor flashes a smile at Locke, then extends a hand towards him.
"Welcome aboard, Locke! We'll make sure to alert you when the mission is ready to begin."
Anthony pockets his communicator and lies down on the cave floor, then closes his eyes as he falls asleep.
Locke shakes his hand, though still doesn't look 100% certain. Still, he appears to look a little happy.
"Alright."
He smirks with pride, not yet noticing Mitch nearby since he's too eager to show his new power off.
"I have, King Vegeta! Watch!"
He then immediately powers up, transforming into a Super Saiyan
◊. A Grade II, actually, the very same kind that Vegeta used against Semi-Perfect Cell.
"I've unlocked the legendary transformation, like I promised I would."

He nods gravely and rise forward, adopting a Super Saiyan form too and shattering the weights on him as if they were made out of paper.
"Good ! You've ascended to a level of power far beyond more than half of your universe. I see that you've worked past Super Saiyan too. Excellent. The will to improve will allow you to step into the domains of the gods" he says.
"When did you unlock it ?"

"Hey." says a voice behind Mitch, who'll be able to see Neuff behind him, chewing on a chocolate bar

"Hey." Mitch replies without turning around as he watches the Saiyans, sensing Neuff with his seismic sense. "How're you?"
"Should you have any other questions about this mission, Locke, then feel free to ask either myself or any of the other Sisters."
Thor rises from Locke's table, then goes to pour himself a drink.

"Well, there is one thing I'm unsure about.", Locke says. "What exactly will my role be in this mission?"
"When I was fighting against that girl, Zelerie.", he says, grinning. "She'd already unlocked it, and there's no way I'd let her stay ahead of me like this."
He then looks surprised.
"Do you really think I have what it takes to reach the same level as you, King Vegeta?"

"I'm good, what about you ?" she says, glancing over.
"hm, these guys are intense." she says. "Do ya know them ?" declares the young woman, perking her head to the side.
—
"Hm,Zelerie, you say ? I should visit her as well. But keep her nearby, you will both be pushed to greater heights as you unlock new forms and powers, unwilling to concede to the other. Rivalry build up power."
He looks down at Courne, and looks offended at his words !
"Do not doubt of that !" he says. "You should aim to reach and surpass my level !"

Noctilum
"Not these ones in person, but we know a few. They seem kind of like you and your sisters, actually. But with less restraint and... well, personality." Mitch shakes his head. "I've been a soldier for over 45 years, and even I know there's more to life than fighting."
"Anyway, I'm good. Kind of feeling like getting myself into a scrap, actually. One that doesn't get me blasted to bits in 3 seconds, that is."
Thor prepares his drink, then sits back down at Locke's table.
"You'll be helping us battle any minions Troa might have left to guard the prison. Unless there's another role you'd prefer?"
Noctilum
Near wherever Neuff and Mitch are, Nicole is scouting the area around the region's largest lake when she spots the two. Recognizing the Sister, she decides to approach them.
"Heya, Neuffie. S'up, dude. What brings you two here today?"
"I'm fine with that role. I only really wanted to know what you're expecting of me. And that, I should be able to do."
He gets up.
"I should go back to my room for now."
Courne ponders about this. Yeah, he absolutely despises Zelerie, but what Vegeta says is true. ... Perhaps he should put his plans to kill her on halt for now, and see what results training more with her will give.
He then nearly loses his composure as he's startled by Vegeta's sudden anger, though he also immediately recovers and looks more determined.
"Yes sir!"

"Hmm... perhaps Loki's illusions and knack for disguises might also help us recover it."
"Ouch... hope your leg recovers quickly, then."
