Xepher

[Atticus]

Kaine kept his training up to scratch he didn't want to be unprepared for if the Military were to attack, he did however Train with Emi once in awhile to make sure the other Rebals didn't go rough on her or make snide remarks for that matter.
Kanie walked into the Control centre and took a seat oppisite Lola "So how the Task force doing on the surface?".
----------------------
Sigfried landed in hanger shortly followed by Yoshiko they both walked to the Elevator Sigfried took his helmet off and held it under his arm, his hair had gotten slightly longer and very messy but he didn't care he stayed quiet and stood on the Elevator waiting.
Yoshiko stood in front of him and looked towards Linx and Luthar "Why do you reckon they've cancaled training early? Think they found out more news?".

[Ellie]

Emi was in training now. She couldnt do much. So she practiced hitting the punching bag with the arm that wasnt broken. He ankle was better for the most part. She could stand on it, and walf on it, but couldnt do much more than that without bursts of pain.

The other Rebels in the large gym stared at her. Most of them kept quiet, and didnt say anything to her directly. However there was one girl who went by 'chuck'. Though Emi knew it wasnt her real name. Chuck apparently had it in for the military, and picked fights with Emi whenever she could. The first day in the gym she re-dislocated Emis shoulder.

Chuck watched with a few others from a distance. "Pathetic...', she said as she let her short dark hair fal on her dark face.

*********

"Its done, and they are on thier way back now.", Lola said taking a hit on her cig. She sounded utterly bored. "Thats not why Im up here still though. Someones been snooping around my communications files. An outside source. I havent got it pin pointed on who it is yet, but Im fairly sure I know who it is.", she explained with a slight giggle.

*****************

"I dont know.", Luthar muttered as the elvator went up to the main doors.

"They shouldnt have! This is ridicilous.", Linx growled. She had her arms crossed and looked throughly pissed off.

When they reached The Special Ops Room the door was locked. Luthar slipped his security card through the scanner, and they went inside.

Momoka was waiting with DeBride. On the large monitor screen a communication line was set up among various other programs.

[Atticus]

Kaine smiled "Are you saying that they might have done it?" he laughed "Bout time if you ask me, i thought they were quick".
----------------
Sigfried sat down on a chair and placed his helmet on the table and started looking at the monitors he hardly ever really saw Momoko in person nowadays because they were so busy training.
Yoshiko moved near one of the chair but stayed stood up near "So Momoko what is so important for you to stop are training early? You dug something up?".

[Ellie]

"Haha. i cant say I really blame them for being slow.", Lola said laughing at Kaines joke. "My files are so heavily incrypted Im suprised they even got as far as they did. Momoka really knows where to stick her nose in."

Kal was sitting on a chair on the other side of the room. "Wont that be a problem if she taps our lines?", he asked.

Lola sighed. "Of course it will. Which is why Im here. Im expecting a call.",she explained with a giggle. "She knows what network we're on, but she doesnt know where the netowrk signal is located. Before she gets there..."

Lola was cut off as the communications window popped up on her main screen.

*******************

"Not information. But a source FOR information. We're giving them our terms to get Emi back.", Momoka answered Yoshiko.

As she spoke the Communications line suddenly lit up with a womans face.

***********

"Good evening, Lola.", Momoka said quietly. DeBride ot up and stood behind Momoka.

"Good evening, Momoka.", Lola answered in her normal giggly tone.

Momoka and Lola looked so similar they could be related. Kal got up and stood with Kaine and Lola. They glared at Momoka through the screen. Momoka answered thier gaze. Her eyes were cold, and dark.

[Atticus]

Kaine leaned back in his chair he was actually smiling but it was more of an evil smile "Hello Everyone, long time" his gaze turned to Sigfried but then to Luther "You all look terrible" he laughed abit.
-----------------------
Sigfried felt anger raise up inside of him but he kept his cool he couldn't let himself lose it now insted he just breathed out slowly and didn't say anything.
Yoshiko looked at Kaine, Lola and Kal "Why am i not surprised you three are in the leading ranks but however what are the Terms?".

[Ellie]

Linx tepped forward to get a better look at them. "Pathetic bunch of little boys.", she growled.

Luthar grasped her shoulder and beckoned for her to sit with him. She reluctantly sat down.

"And Im not suprised to see you sitting there looking so ancient Yoshiko.", Kal laughed in his smooth tone.

"Our terms.", Momoka said sternly.

"Terms?", Lola laughed. "YOU have terms for us? When we're the ones in control here?"

Momoka ignored her. "You have three days--and ONLY THREE-- to hand over The Xepher and its pilot in exchange for the pilot we have captured."

DeBride stepped in. "If you do not meet these terms within the time limit, the Black OPs will be sent. Thus resulting in the annilation of your base, and ALL of its people."

Momoka looked a bit suprised. Killing innoscent people was never part of the agreement. She wiped the look from her face.

Lola laughed. "You really think you'd be able to pull that off? You're bluffing."

Kal spoke next. "Besides. We cant meet your terms."

"And why is that?", Momoka asked narrowing her eyes.

"The pilots dead.", Kal said cooly.

The room fell silent.

[Atticus]

Yoshiko sat down on his chair and held his face in his hands he couldn't belive what he heard how could she be dead, they have to be lying she was a strong girl.

Sigfrieds heart sank like a stone and before he knew it he was on his feet "What do you mean dead? You killed her didn't you..... DIDN'T YOU?" he snapped there was only so much he could take he was furious.

Kaine watched him and sighed "We tried our best to save her but she died from the injerys she sustained in battle" he pulled out a cig and lit it.

[Ellie]

Luthar's whole body went stiff. He ran his hands through his hair. Linx looked at him with a slightly concerned look.

As Sigfried spoke Momoka went tense. "Sigfried SIT down.", she commanded. Momoka had many choice words she could say at the moment. However she couldnt voice them.

DeBride stepped around Momoka so he was in front of her. "In that case, you can consder our terms terminated.", he began in a very subtle voice. He was highly unconcerned with the fact Emi was 'dead'. He stared into Kaines eyes, then Kals, and then Lolas.

"Your terms were over before they even began, my friend. You cant stop us. You WONT stop us. With The Xepher on our side, we are indistructable.", Kal said in a smooth high and mighty sounding tone.

"Momoka? Have you check the surface scans lately?", Lola said with a smirk. Then the com link was terminiated.

Momoka whirled around in her seat. She typed fiercly untill several survailence files were pulled up on screen. The Rebels were doing several scouting missions on he surface of the planet. They made no attempt to stay hidden. "What does this mean?", Momoka gasped.

"It means we strike first.", DeBride answered. "I must update The King." He swiftly left the room.

Momoka turned slowly around in her chair. She looked at Luthar, Linx, Yoshiko, and then stopped on Sigfried.

***************************

Emi whirled around from the punching bag. Someone had grabbed her shoulder.

"Hey. Military dog scum. You lookin for another beatin?", the girl named Chuck said.

Emi glared at her.

I told you to stay out of here.", Chuck said raising her fist. All hell broke loose. Several Rebels stopped what they were doing to observe the fight. From Emis point of view it was more of a brutal beating. She refused to fight back.

*****************

"Dead, huh?", Lola giggled. "Nice touch."

Kal streatched. "Its thier turn to feel what its like to be on the losing side."

[Atticus]

Sigfried sat down and as soon as the com link was terminated he burst into tears and held his face he couldn't hold his feelings back he knew that Linx and Luther proberly thought he was weak for crying but he didn't care he then stood up and rushed out of the room he didn't wait for orders he was walking towards the Hanger.

Yoshiko didn't follow after he stared at Momoko "Should we prepear to attack?".
---------------------------
Kaine leaned back "The person who seemed to show the most care if not the only person was Sigfried and posibly Yoshiko cause he knows how Sigfried feels about stuff the most" he let out a puff of smoke "The others only care for that stupid Mecha".

[Ellie]

"Yes. But Yoshiko we must stop him. He cannot go in there alone. He WILL die, and the entire Military will suffer because of it.", Momoka said quickly. She sat quiet for a few moments. "Luthar, Linx. Go to General Garsakus and inform him of whats happened. Leave Sigfrieds' feelings out of it. Report back to my lab when your dismissed. Yoshiko you come with me. Sigfried HAS to be stopped."

Linx and Luthar left the room quickly. Momoka was on her feet and out the door only a few seconds after. She had a communications ear piece in her right ear. "Attention all lab personel. Lock all hanger doors, and do NOT permit anyone into the lab other than myself, and General Yoshiko. That includes any member of The Kings Knights. DO NOT let any mecha be deployed for ANY reason.", Momoka said into the mic coming from her ear piece.

The announcement sounded through the lab, and all of the hangers. The lab tech.'s went frantic trying to follow Momoka's orders.

*********************************

Lola laughed at Kaines observations. "You've got a point there. Sigfried cares for Emi a little tomuch for my liking. However, Linx is a mercinary. She cares about nothing but the fight. She wouldnt even care if she lost her own life, as long as it ment she could win the battle."

"And how do you know all that?", Kal asked.

"I do my research.", Lola responded. "My guess is Luthar doesnt know Emi very well. Hes young, but he looks much like hi father who was killed in Hiroto's and Akanes battle.", she paused. "Momoka however goes through pilots like candy.", she stopped to giggle. "Once she finds a handfull of pilots to her liking she keeps them close. The Xepher is Momokas greatest discovery, and you can bet her ego is bruised about losing it. But, The Xepher needs a pilot. Momoka found that pilot, and now that pilots has been taken from her. You can bet you ass shes pissed about that. Shed never show it, but she has an attatchment to Emi."

"Could have fooled me. The Military doesnt care about its pilots, only the war.", Kal argued.

"I didnt think Momoka would get attatched to another pilot though. Not after Akane.", Lola smiled an evil toothy grin.

One of the lights started to blink on the monitor Lola was sitting in front of.

"Kaine go check to make sure Emi hasnt collapsed or something. We have a disturbance in the gym.", Lola ordered.

[Atticus]

Sigfried was rushing thew everyone, he got weird looks thown at him for barging someone over he just kept walking but he was soon enough in a run and was now right infront of the hanger he tryed going in but it locked tight "HEY OPEN THIS DOOR RIGHT THIS INSTANCE" he shouted down the comlink next to door "I AM A MEMBER OF THE KINGS KNIGHTS NOW OPEN THIS DOOR".

Yoshiko nodded and rushed out of the room, almost bumping into someone "I'm sorry has my son been past here" a woman nodded and pointed towards the hanger "thank you" Yoshiko started to run abit "Momoko, Sigfried is near the hanger" he said down the comlink.
-------------------------
Kaine stood up "Kal has a point the Military care for nouthing but the war" he said in a slight angry tone "Alright i'll check on Emi" he turned on his heel and started walking towards the gym, he lit anouther cigerette while he was walking but soon enough he was outside the doors and walked in "What th....." he rushed over to where Emi is and pulled Chuck off of her "What do you think your doing?" he said angrily.

[Ellie]

Momoka was at Sigfrieds side. "Ive had my assistants lock the lab he wont be able to get in.", Momoka reassured him. Momoka stepped up to a run. They were almost there.

********************

Chuck looked a little suprised at being pulled off of Emi. She let her arms fall from the defensive position, and smirked. "Kaine. Ya gonna defend this lil rodent?", she said in a mocking tone.

Emi lay on the floor. Blood soaked the pants, and shirt she was wearing. Tears fell from her eyes but she didnt say anything. She didnt even whimper. "Sigfried...", she thought aimlessly.

****************

Lola adjusted her glasses. "The Xepher is moving again.", she said looking out at the hanger where The Xepher sat. She pulled up the links to the security links up on the monitor. Shegot up immediately. "Kal. Kaines gonna need help."

[Atticus]

Sigfried kept banging on the hanger door "OPEN UP..... PLEASE" he put both fist's against the hanger and rested his head on the door as he started crying "I need to save Emi, she isn't dead i know it" he fell down onto his knee's and continued crying2 to himself "I said i'd protect her and that i'll be there for her she can't be dead, she just can't" he punched the ground.

Yoshiko nodded at Momoko "He's only ever been like this once before he couldn't stop crying for weeks, poor Siggy" he said looking down.
-------------------
Kaine shook his head "If she's a little rodent then i'm a big rodent, last time i checked i was in the millitary too at one point, now if you don't leave her alone i will put you in a train regamine that will make you head spin" he turned to Emi and knelt down in front of her and picked her up slowly and started to rush towards the medical wing.

[Ellie]

Momoka looked a little shocked at Yoshikos words. But she kept running. Soon they were in view of Sigfried and the hanger.

Momoka slowed to a walk and approached Sigfried. She placed her hands on her hips. "Well ist this a firmiluar scene.", she started. "You know I once saw a young girl pounding on my door to. She was a fiesty one.", she smirked.

***********************

As Kaine walked out of the room Lola and Kal came around the corner. Kal rushed to Emi and Kaine. "What happened?!", he said alarmed. His normal smooth voice became strained.

Lola walked past Kal and into the gym.

[Atticus]

Sigfried looked up at Momoko his eyes were red and puffed with tears going down his check "I remember that" a slight smile apeared on his face "You don't think she's dead do you?" he said sniffing up abit, Yoshiko moved next to Momoko and stayed silent.
--------------------------------
Kaine looked at Kal "It was that stuck up Chuck woman she really gets on my nerves" he turned to go to the medical wing "I'm taking Emi to get looked at, you coming or you going to have a go at chuck?".
