Xepher

[Ellie]

Momoka didnt hesitate to answer. "No I dont.", she aswered.

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

Kal looked to where Chuck was walking down the hallway. He wanted to run and take a beating on her, but he thought best to stay with Emi.

"Put me down...", Emi whimpered through tears, and blood. Her eyes were angry. "Sigfried....", she thought again.

[Atticus]

Sigfried slowly got up off the floor and rubbed his eyes abit "We've got to do something, im positive there hiding her".
------------------
Kaine shook his head "No Emi i'm taking you to the medical wing, end of" he said walking abit quicker.

[Ellie]

Momoka nodded in agreement with him. "If I let you into the lab, will you behave? If you go rushing in there on your own you're either going to get yourself killed, or Emi killed."

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

"PUT ME DOWN! I DONT CARE IF IM HURT!", Emi ordered almost yelling. However her voice was still hoarse. "Sigfried...", she thought again.

[Atticus]

Sigfried nodded and rubbed his eyes "But we've got to act quickly, we need to save her as soon as possible" he said trying to stop crying, Yoshiko moved next to him and hugged him "Don't worry son we will save her i'll make sure of that", Sigfried nodded "Thanks dad".
---------------------
Kaine rolled his eyes "I'm taking you to the medical room and thats the end of that, no stop your yapping" he said as they finally arrive outside of the medical bay, he walked in looking for the closest docter or nurse.

[Ellie]

Momoka stepped up to the eye and palm scanner next to the two big white doors. The scanner swet her right yellow eye, and then her right palm. The doors opened. "We must wait for DeBride. I would send orders for you to go now, but I dont have the authority for that anymore.", she said. She sounded a bit irritated at that fact.

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

Once they were in the medical room several nurses took care of Emi. Soon she was sitting up in a medical bed with an IV attatched to her left arm. She looked dazed, and vacant. She didnt speak, or move. She just starred into nothingness. "Sigfried...", she though again.

Kal turned to Kaine. "Somethings not right.", he said quietly. His tone was still as smooth as ever, but there was some edge behind it.

The doors to the room opened as Lola entered. "Whats going on?", she asked in a smug tone.

[Atticus]

Sigfried looked down "Right" he moved into the hanger area and moved to the closet seat and sat down on it abit annoyed at the fact they have to wait for Debride he looked up at the ceiling *Emi...* he thought to himself
-------------------------
Kaine nodded at Kal "Yeah this seems abit off..." he looked at Lola "That stupid Chuck decided to bully her again, i swear one day i am going to put her thew a training schedule that will make even her cry like a baby" he said breathing out slowly.

[Ellie]

Hours went by as Momoka ran several scans on all of the mecha, and the present pilots. "i need Luthar, and Linx here before I can finish anything. And of course DeBride....", she was muttereing to herself when the doors to the lab opened. She looked up from her screen. DeBride was standing there with Luthar, and Linx.

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

Lola walked over to Emi. Her pupils were dialated, and she didnt seem to be fully focused. "Emi? Can you hear me?", she asked.

When Emi gave no response Kal moved to Lolas side. "Whats wrong?"

"Call a doctor.", Lola ordered.

[Atticus]

Sigfried was pacing back and forth whilest Yoshiko was sorting some of his files, Sigfried stopped and looked towards the door and moved to his chair sitting down knowing that their will be a small breifing, Yoshiko however stood up "So whats the word?".
----------------------------
Kaine moved to one of the comlinks on the wall "Will a docter come to the entrance of the medical room immediately, it's an emergancy".

[Ellie]

DeBride walked into the room with a stern look on his face. "This is going to be a very difficult decision for me. The king has left it in my hands to decide weather to put this plan into action now, or at a later time.", he said.

Linx and Luthar looked throughly annoyed with DeBride.

Momoka stood up. "EXCUSE ME!?", she said raising her voice.

"Sit down.", DeBride said with authority. "Since when have you become so emotional over your missions, and pilots?" Momo shook with anger. "I thought it was your own personal philosiphy not to get attached to your pilots?"

Momoka glared at him. Shegritted her teeth and sat down. "What is the plan?", she said through her teeth.

DeBride smiled. "We'll launch in an hour. Ive already assembled the rest of the army to accompany us."

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

A tall dark skinned doctor made his way into Emis room. She still had the same blank stare as before. She hadnt moved in 4 hours. Kal sat on edge at the side of her bed. Lola had long left to see the Rebel Lord for further orders. Before she had left she said, "Things are going to start stirring up now. If we dont have Emi, we dont have the upper hand in this battle. We need tomake sure she stays loyal to us."

[Atticus]

Sigfried was about to stand up he felt enraged but Momoko was up way before him, he just stayed in his chair staring at Debride with hate in his eyes but as soon as he spoke again he felt kind of happier.
Yoshiko stroke his chin thinking "How will we be attacking? All out force or find a way to get thew stealth so we catch them off guard?" he said in a toneless voice.
-----------------------------------------------
Kaine was sat down on the a chair facing towards the bed amitedly he was worried that Emi wouldn't stay Loyal she does still have someone in the Military who cares about her and he knows that he will have to distract him and keep him away from Emi so he dosen't ruin everything they have planned.

[Ellie]

DeBride smirked at Yoshiko. "They know we're coming. They've known we would be coming all along. We wouldnt catch them off guard with even the most evasive plan right now. We go in full force. No suprise elements.", DeBride explained.

"Then whos going to get Emi?", Luthar and Momoka both asked at the same time. Linx stood silent next to Luthar.

"I thought that'd be obvious by now.", DeBride said looking at Sigfried. "You will infultrate the base with Yoshiko. Luthar and Linx will guard the both of you. Ill be on the front lines, and Momoka will be here. Serving as mission control to the entire force."

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

"Sigfried can't come near Emi in battle.", Kal aid voicing his thoughts. The doctor was taking blood from Emi. As if she could spare anymore. For the most part her injuries were healing nicely. Her head wound was nearly gone, but her arm and leg werent in fighting condition. "We've worked to hard for her to be taken away from us."

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

Lola approached a tall dark door. There was a red 'X' painted crudly across it. She was at the lowest point in the base. most people would be nervous in a place like the one she was about to enter. It was the Rebel Lords chambers. Though Kal was the rightful heir to the throne of the Rebel Forces, he was still to young. So after Hiroto had died another Rebel leader was set as Rebel War Lord until Kal came of age, or the current Lord died.

"Lola Rave. High level clearence. Business: Emi Roxall, and Kal Roxall.", she said to what appeard to be no one. The doors opened sliding upward. Such large doors were completely unnecessary, but thats the way the base had been constructed. Lola strolled in looking as if she was going or a casual walk in the park.

[Atticus]

Sigfried smiled "Now that sounds like a good plan to me" he held his helmet in his hands and looked down *Don't worry Emi, i will be coming for you soon* he thought to himself as Yoshiko nodded in agreement "Were going to have to pull all the stops out on this one and no doubt we'll have no trouble with fighting them again" he comfidently.
-----------------------
Kaine nodded "I'll make sure myself that Sigfried won't get to Emi" he smirked and clenched his fists "I am undefeated after all".

[Ellie]

"Gear up and be ready tomorrow morning by noon. Report to Momokas Lab. Ive already got the front lines ready to go. Ive got to set up defensive forces tonight.", DeBride said with a confident smile.

"You would all do wise to make any not of any repairs, upgrades, and system modifications tonight. Ill make the necessary changes to your mecha that I see fit. However if theres something youd like added, Im sure I can slip it in before tomorrows fight.", Momoka said with excitment.

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

"Haha. Thats right. Undefeated.", Kal smirked. He peered at the doctor.

Thge doctor had a worried expression on his face as he lifted a syringe the size of a ruler to the back of Emis neck." Emi flinched as the needle entered her neck pointing upward twards her brain.

"So its come to that. Brainwashing?", he muttered. The doctor simply nodded.

Emis face went blank. He eyes rolled into the back of her head, and she passed out with her eyes still open.

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

Lola entered another set of dorrs. This time they were smaller. They led to an office. It was dark lit, and decorated in gothic architecture. Completely out of place from the rest of the building.

"Sir.", Lola spoke very formally. "Im sorry to report this to you, but we've had to resort to memory alteration for Emi Roxall."

"Is that so?", a voice said from behind a desk.

"The medication from her treatments when she first arrived had a negative affect. They didnt work as we had planned. Her memories of the ones she cared most about interfeared. I think it has to do with The Xepher.", Lola explained. "I ordered one of the doctors to alter the memories of Sigfried, Momoka, Lynx, Luthar, Millie, Yoshiko, and her home. She will think they abandoned her in battle, and left her to die. Yoshiko, and Momoka will also be prime targets for her parents death. Kal will be set as her hero. The one who rescued her from death. However these fake memories wont last. They will mix with her real ones. In time she will grow to hate The Military Forces."

"Is that all?"

"Yes sir."

"Continue with your plan. Make sure she isnt swayed back to the Militia side.", the voice ordered.

"It wont be a problem. Shes on our side now. They wont know what hit them.", Lola smirked.

"Ready the defensive line for an attack. Those filthy rodants will crawl out from thier safe haven base and come for her soon. Im positive of it.", the voice said again ignoring Lolas comment.

"Yes Sir.", Lola finished.

[Atticus]

Sigfried nodded "I'm fine with what i have, it's all i need, trust me" he said leaning back on his chair as he closed his eyes and rubbed them *Soon Emi..... Soon* he thought to himself but couldn't help but feel as if something might go wrong, he shook these thoughts off.
"Momoko i will gladly give you a hand with the repairs on the Mecha's" Yoshiko said smiling "I am quite good after all".
---------------------------------------
Kaine rubbed his chin "Looks like its the only way to keep her from running off i guess" he said watching what was going on "Going to get a quick rest" he walked off towards his room.

[Ellie]

Linx and Luthar quickly left the room. They both headed down to the parts shop in town. Both Mechas were in need of some updates for this battle.

"Id appreciate it Yoshiko.", Momoka grinned.

DeBride turned to one of the flat panal monitors, and began working vigerously on a plan for the upcoming battle.

*********
"Alright.", Kal said. The doctor left the room. Kal sat down next to Emi and took her hand. "Youve no idea how long we waited for this."

Emis eyes shut. The effects of the shot were sinking in.

***********

It wasnt long before Lola entered the medical room where Emi was being kept.

"Why didnt you tell me?", Kal muttered bitterly.

"It needed to be done. We werent swaying her fast enough. Its only temporary.", Lola explained.

Kal rolled his eyes, "What happens when it wares off? Shell just go back to them."

"No. I believe by then she'll be completely bound to us.", Lola argued. "Suit up for battle. Those dogs will be coming for her soon."
