The Final Fight... maybe

*Aerik stares quietly a moment out the window, pensive, thoughtful. A lot of tension between him and Nicholas in the past few days haven't made this any easier, but he believes its time... time for the plans to go into effect. Time to either kill or be killed. Silently, he turns to face Nicky. A pause, and he steps forward* ...It is time, Nicholas. I have no other way, I will need to ghost into you. Use the bracelet once I am locked inside... *uneasy, this... last time he ghosted into Nicky.. well.. things had gotten... difficult. First, tho, the sending... TO ALL INVOLVED (save Windrazor) the call they'd been anticipating goes out.. a massive, shielded telepathic call, winnowing into every mind carefully, and the location.. the Lair. Then he slips his body into its natural state, slides into Nicholas and waits for the jump to earth...*

Ei )~*~ She slowly wandered among the crowd that had gathered near the lair. Quiet, and serene. Looking for AERIK, wishing to speak with him. But his face was lost in the crowd, and her mind did not reach out. She had left as soon as she heard AERIK's send. Her eyes brushing across the area, then kneeling to examine the grass at her feet. She stood again, slowly brushing off her hands. Her lavander locks blocked her veiw before she moved her tender hand to brush it aside. Watching the people and doing not much else. She teleported there herself on a small inclination from Aerik nudging her to arrive ~*~

{Indigo} *Kelsin sits at the large round table inside of the FLD's tall skyscraper building, the one owned by Jerry Smith, chatting with Melanie and Oksana when she feels the minute whisper sent out by Aerik. Her spine stiffens, the other two girls look at her questioningly before Kelsin can regain her composer. When she does, she stands quickly, sending out the quiet mind-thought for all FLD members to assemble at the Outcast's Lair* Lyta))Shadow;*she hugs you back lightly and sighs* dont go...you are just about the only friend i have....*her eyes pleading*

[Aerik]~*He appears.. that is, Nicky appears in the Lair, already those living there gathered to wait, anxious and antsy. Brows raise at the appearance of the handsome reraizure, no one having -seen- Nicholas before... but then Aerik slides out of him, solidifies, and glances about. His cheeks are a bit hot in memory of the -last- time he ghosting into Nicky, but he doesn't blush, he simply watches the room and waits, searching among the faces. Lyeth, he notes, is straining hard to take a peek at Nicky, who quietly walks to the side and lets the proceedings go on*

{The FLD}*The members of the small group arrive almost simultaneously, some standing awkwardly amongst all the people. They stand in a small bunch, glancing over to AERIK, nodding to all those they know*

MINDMELT ~ The boy teleported with the others. Not really knowing ANYONE but INDIGO, who rectuited him.. she said he had very strong mental capibilites, and seemed to train him hasitly. Not sure WHY he was there.. or what to do.. except what he was told ~

Lyta))Shadow; *sighs* then i will go to the meeting with you at least...

{Indigo} *Kelsin notices MINDMELT, smiles a bit shakily and waves him over, inviting him to stand with her if he so wishes*

Lyta))Shadow; *she nods* i...think so....*then looks at her bracelet and frowns*

[Unnatural]~WINDRAZOR:*they were all there.. many more than just who lives there... Livewire, Anaconda, Whitefyre, Mica, Aura, Thunder, Reverb, Chrysolite, Curse.. many many more. Aerik knows them all. Lytra, upon seeing Aerik, sends out her own call, one to a friend she's met, but who was well shielded from the happenings. Pity to drag her into this, but... they needed the manpower. So then, a bright call to WINDRAZOR... reiterating all she had told the girl before, and guiding her bracelet to the Lair once she uses it..*

*Venin hears the call, and glances back at the house, wondering if she should grab Zak... nah, he'll be angry, but I'd rather have him safe... she turns to the hidden gunlocker in the barn and pulls out one of her favorite berretta 9mm, before teleporting to the lair*

Lyta))Shadow;*she nods reluctantly, tensing* alright...ready...

{Windrazor} *She's kneeling in her small indoor garden when she gets the message, her eyes closing slightly.* Damn... *Lytra was a friend, and now one in need. That's not something that she was raised to ignore. She stands, looks about the room with pure white eyes as she dusts herself off and uses the bracelet she was given, a bed feeling developing in the pit of her stomach.*

Ei ) ~*~ She simply ignored the child's cries. Venin would figure out where they went and why if she saw them vanish. She again began to wander. Her eyes narrowing. Nodding to INDIGO and MICA in the sea of faces she saw. So many minds.. she sighed, taking her shields down a bit, sparing every bit of energy she could ~*~

[Unnaturals]~KELSIN:*Lyeth grins and waves to the others.. besides kelsin, it had been while since she'd seen them. Many more turn, smile, nod, wave, offer small words of greeting, most too nervous to do too much else... 'Conda nods, of course, smiles, but beneath his and Lyeth's exterior, so used to battles tho not on this scale normally, there is a turmoil, and partly, it shows*

Zora))Lyta: *nodding she pushes the button. Teleporting to the Lair. Looking around at all of those assembled. There were more now than the other day when the plans were made.*

{Indigo} *Tries to grin back at MINDMELT, clapping his shoulder lightly to show he is needed and wanted* Hi there. This must all seem.....interesting to you...

*Asleep on one of the lairs couches.... As usual, a nice stream of drool is tracking down the side of his mouth and dripping on the floor... Snoring loud enough to wake the dead. Gun holstered on with the Star Wars Han Solo type gun belt that he got at a convention so long ago.... Paul had been extra pissed to be dragged to that one... One leg draped off the couch, the other draped high on the backing... One arm over his eyes..*

{Zak} sure, drag me /here/ and then ignore me- juuuuuuuuuuuuust wonderful...*looks around- noting the room is even more crowded than before.* oh, lovely...*way too many scents for a nose to be happy with.*

*venin mentally issues a curse as she sees zak... oh well.. too late to send him away now... with a smile she approaches jesse and zak*

[Aerik]~JESSE:*Aerik notes her arrival, and that of the loud ZAKAI, but focuses on her... well aware that Nicky is in the background and most likely knows -exactly- who she is... his eyes brighten though, that blackamber, and he smiles*

Mind ) ~ He rose a brow laughing a bit. Nodding a few times to INDIGO and shrugging ~ Well one minute I am well average Jon Billings, now.. I have mental powers.. ~ Still finding the thing a bit unfathomable ~ I thought stuff like this was for comics and stuff... but he ~ HE smiled again noting all the people ~ Umm I have been practicing what you taught me.. shields and fields.. you .. really think I can help?

{Indigo}*Kelsin looks over to EI and gives a brief smile and wave, then notices LYETH and offers similar treatment, a little too nervous for much else*

[Unnaturals]~WIND:*Lytra waits silently, wringing her hands a bit, exerting power to guide the bracelet.. a hard task, but she'd learned well.. a glance at Aerik and again, she waits*

Venin: {ZAK} *brightens some- then glares accusingly at Ei.* can you PLEASE tell Miss Personality over there to WARN someone before she just takes 'em some place??? I was in the middle of my fav TV show! *hadn't heard the call-but Ei had sure as hell made sure he didn't miss it.*

Lyta))*she also presses the button and teleports to the Lair, glancing around uneasily among so may unnaturals, her sense of them strengthened each time she encounters them, she shivers and steps back towards the wall, not wanting anyone behind her*

Zora)) *Nodding to the few unnaturals she had met she waits to see what will happen next.*

{Windrazor} Lytra: *she appears nearby and looks around for her, deep down knowing why she's here, but not liking this one bit*

[Unnaturals]~GILD:*Lyeth, eyes set on Nicky, walks over and slaps the sleeping young man HARD on his head* Wake up, dork!

Ei) ~*~ She was well away from ZAK By the time VENIN Arived. Keeping to herself. Missing Aerik's eyes. Not bothering a send, or even looking for him in the magnitude of faces. So she kept to herself. Her hands lacing themselves, as she cassually wandered though them to a secluded crner.. MISSING the smile that INDIGO flashed her ~*~

Venin))*Venin looks from Jesse to Zak, then chuckles* she knows you would have just argued with her, probably easier this way

{Indigo} *Looking at MIND she smiles again at him, her deep blue eyes actually reflecting the sentiment* I know. Lord, how we /all/ know. And yes, I really do think that you can help. We need as many telepaths as we can get to help with this crazy scheme.

Gild))LYETH~*Snorting and looking around quickly as his hand shoot away from his face.. Reaching for his 9mm.* Wha!!!!*Then noticing it's only her, he rolls his eyes and flops back down on the couch...* Lemme 'lone....*Then remembers what today is and /attempts/ to straighten himself so that he's at least somewhat coherent. Still drifting in and out of sleep though. -And- he's forgotten to wipe the drool away... Looking absolutely haggard.*

[Unnaturals]~Shadow/Lyta:*A sheepish, crooked grin from Kevin, a small wave, and a few others look over as well... MICA, who'd been nodding to JESSE, glances up* That the one you killed? *he mutters it softly, then offers a hugs crap-eating grin and a big wave*///// WINDRAZOR:*Lytra smiles, sighing and leaning inwards, whispering* Sorry.. I know this isn't what everyone wants to be involved in... *she bites her lips and gives an apologetic look, her brown hair, falling in soft waves down her back, glinting pink highlights in the light*

Venin))Jesse:* venin notes your distance, and walks over, placing a hand on your shoulder, offering silent encouragement*

Lyta))*she notices Venin and looks around for the man that was with her before...the one that killed her*

Venin: {ZAK} course I woulda argued with her...*grouchily* I wanted to see what would happen! *at least his habit of toting his weapon around all the time- even in the house- may have come in handy.* So- what IS going on that she decided to drag me out here???

Zora))Kevin: *smiling she waves back. She didn't hold anything against him, but then she wasn't the one he had killed.*

[Unnatural]~GILD:*A few others look over, and Curse, close by, raises his hand palm upward, smirking as he leans over the back of the couch* Up and at em, beautiful... *and Gild should know what that little globe of glowing energy hovering atop Curse's palm means.. its really not a day gild want bad luck bestowed upon him...*

{Windrazor} Lytra: *she smiles softly and shakes her head, her colorless eyes flickering about the room* There's no need to appologize friend... I guess I've stayed in hiding long enough...

Mind ) ~Still quite unsure of his role he simply shrugs. Near happy to be with all these people, instead of at home.. with homework, leading an everyday life. It was exciting and new. He still had NO Idea of the effects of what they were about to do ~ Thanks.. ~ He looked around, sticking close to INDIGO.. and not saying much else. His aburn hair a crew cut, and his body seeming lean. IN street clothes, nothing unsual about the clind. Except for his slightly excited manner ~

*knowing what the noise is all about..still unsure what she will do..she creeps out of the shadows, she chuckles as she sees Gild get hit.*

Gild) *Glancing at EI as she walked past... well sort of anyway... As much as you -can- glance at somone with your eyes 3/4's of the way shut. All week all he'd heard is, ''Why'd you side with Aerik? Are you insane? Yadda....yadda yadda....YADA!!!'' So now he's taking his rest before the battle... Anyone who wanted him could file a complaint with his manager...*

Lyta))*her eyes widen slightly as she notices Kevin and nods to his wave, then she nods back to Mica, uncertainly*

{Fury} *Carsen walks up behind his twin sister, Kelsin, glancing only momentarily at the boy she was talking to....towering over her, 'shielding' her, glowering at any that even -dare- to glance their way*

*Zakai's just hanging back from the HUGE crowd- he doesn't know anyone but Venin, li'l miss personality, and Gild- who's scent he can detect /somewhere/ in that crowd- but that's it.*

[Aerik]~JESSE:*A soft sending, gentle, not overly intimate, but a sweet caress, nonetheless, and Aerik speaks to her..*MS*()Jesse... are you alright?()

Ei) ~*~ She glanced up at Venin. Startled first by the touch then the voice. Smiling almost warmly at her as she nodded, and offered a sigh. Bringing her knees to her cest, and focusing her gaxe elsewhere. Up to the sky. There was nothing out there but a dozen charted and a million uncharted stars. Each twinkling with renewed vigor. Would they shine just as brightly.. without all these people to marvel at them? Not one for philisophical questions, she mused mildly. Focusing her eyes then on Venin. ~*~ Thank you Yvette.

Gild) Geoff Follows~To:CURSE~*Looking up at the small sphere hovering over his head...* With so much to ride on this.... You -wouldn't- dare.... But, okay.... I'm up i'm up..... Damn....*He stands up, tossing the small pillow he'd had behind his head at the kid.* Here... Learning a little pillow talk aughta improve your sociability.*Totally joking of course. He walks towards one of the kitchens for some soda. Perhaps a bit of JOLT would do the trick.*

(Venin)zak: the battleplans are about to be enacted *sigh* I was hoping to keep you out of it.

[Unnaturals]~WIND:*Lytra sighs again and quietly starts to introduce her to the -many- gathered about.. whispering names and motioning. Then she pauses on Aerik and her expression hardens* That one.. That's Eclipse. A bigger bastard you'll never find. *she raises her brows and makes a face* But he knows what he's doing... *she hopes...*

(ROCKY) zak: *her gaze falls on a strange looking kid..looks pretty lost..she catches sight of his weapon...but deadly...wonder what he is?*

Zora)) *she knows she should mingle through the crowd and meet the others. Many she knew from the files. Looking around she mentally runs down the list of each persons skills.*

{Windrazor} Lytra: *her colorless gaze flickers to Eclipse watching him as Lyra speaks* What is his... gift?

{ZAK}Venin: *blinks* keep me out of it??? WHY? Yvette- I'm /supposed/ to fight-and what would I've done if you never came back, huh? *crossing his arms.* I wouldn't've even known what happened to you!

[Unnaturals]~GILD:*Curse, Chris, laughs and ducks the pillow, watching the dishevelled Geoff peel himself off the couch and stumble to the kitchen. Leers and wolfwhistles follow the young theif as he goes, Kevin, Jeremy, Robert, and Heath all making goo goo eyes at him and snickering quietly. Lyeth shakes her head, grins, and turns away. At least -she- got to hit him...*

(Gild) Geoff Follows~To:HIMSELF~*He flops down in one of the seats in the kitchen, popping the top on the cola and taking a good pull.... Taking his 9mm out and placeing it on the table in front of him, within easy reach, though he shouldn't need it here.... should he...*

(ROCKY) Gild: *rocky watches you as you pass her on your way to the kitchen*

ROCKY: {ZAK} *after a moment- he turns, catching her glance at him- and his weapon.* What- somethin' wrong? *sticking close to Venin- like a little kid lost in the zoo who just found mommy.*

Ei) ~*~ She heard the send from AERIK And took a while debating if she should seek him out.. or talk mentally. Figuring that a few mental sends, linked to him would not matter worth anything. Still focused on VENIN and ZAK, while she converesed cassually. ~*~ MS ~ Yes.. I am fine. A bit .. I will admit reluctant. A bit.. emotionally spent. But I am .. fine. ~ ~*~ Thinking lightly he was problally already flooded with a hundred telepaths, and a few people tlaking to him she left the channel open, but persisted no further. She turned to ZAK, and offered him the same strained and warm smile. Strained not because of mental fatiuge, more emotional, and that twinge of reluctance. Just that little hint ~*~

[Aerik]~WIND:*before Lytra can answer, Aerik does, his heightened senses easily picking up her words, and of course, Lytra's. His gorgeous frame is held at a casual postion, his lovely eyes lazy and bright with amusement*MS*()Telepathy... among other things. Aenia Rindes. Welcome()

(VENIN) Jesse: I know this is hard, its hard for all of us...but maybe its asking to much of you, you've been through too much lately, why not be a back up?

(Gild) Geoff Follows~To:an unnatural~*He just does a litte swivle and raise his arms above his head, showing them all a profile shot and batting his eyes before disappearing for his cola.*

Lyta))*she watches Gild as he goes to the kitchen, and moves to follow, anyplace was beter than staying in this crowd of strangers*

(Gild) Geoff Follows~To:ROCKY~*He just shoots her a small glance on the way past, giveing her a small salute with two of his fingers.*

{Windrazor} Eclipse: *she shivers slightly, her gaze not leaving him.* ~ T... thank you... I'm afraid I'm a little out of place here... or... maybe I just /feel/ out of place...~

(Gild) Geoff Follows~To:LYTA~*Seeing her enter the kitchen a bit after him. He kicks one of the chairs around the table out. Gestureing grandlike.* Your throne.*He holds out the bottle of JOLT and a glass.* A touch?

Zora)) *Watches Lyta disappear into the next room.*

EI: {ZAK} *watches her, a bit puzzled. what was wrong with her?* Hey, you alright over there??

[Aerik]~JESSE:*MS()I understand, Jesse. This is no easy task and you... comprehend the risks involved. I do not wish you harmed, believe that() *but its hard for him to hide the anticpation of this.. he's looking forward to dueling with Shred...*

Gild;*she grins, relaxing a bit finally and nods* ...sure....

Lyta))Gild;*she grins, relaxing a bit finally and nods* ...sure...

ROCKY) zak: *she chuckles* you look lost.

Zora)) *looking over she sees ZAK. She still couldn't believe how much he looked like Sai.*

(Gild) Geoff Follows~To:LYTA~*Slapping the table once and pulling her glass in front of him, he fills it about to the rim and passes it her way.* I sense nervouseness.... Ya scared?

(venin) zak: *sigh* because its not your battle, its ours *gesturing to those in the room around her* and plans were made for if I didn't come back

Ei ) VENIN/ZAK ~*~ She looked up to VENIN. She would like to be a back up.. but she shook her head. She was as Aerik and Indigo told her one of the strongest. She shook her head. and said. Her thin and pale lips a bit trembling.. though her words shone with a bit of pride ~*~ .. No.. I can not do that Yvette.. I am .. needed. ~*~ Her eyes swich to ZAX, and he looks at him blankly for a moment, and nods. She never said much to the boy. Not seeing a reason to. She opened her mouth to explain, but figured it was a waste of breath time and energy.. so she stopped, and just nodded. He would more than likely mock her small fear, and not take the situation seriously. ~*~

{Aerik}~WIND:*Another glance of amusement as Lytra wrinkles her nose at him, but says nothing. He appears friendly enough, however, and his mental touch is soft, inviting, like velvet*MS*()...You are new to this, yes? I am sure you will have wished to remain well away from it once this is over with. But you are most certainly -in- place here...()

Lyta))Gild;*she looks at you, hesitating a bit* ...you sense? ...why should i be scared?...i'm not going...

{Unnaturals}~ZAKAI:*Suddenly, Lyeth blinks and squeals softly, covering her mouth, dashing over, but not touching as she screeches to a halt in front of him, wide eyed* oh... my.... GOD... SAI?

(Gild) Geoff Follows~To:LYTA~*Shrugging a bit.* Well, I more see than sense... You just look it. And weather your going or not, alot is rideing here... So everyone has something to be nervouse about.

ROCKY: {ZAK} Gee- y'think mebbe cuz I AM??? /// ZORA: *finding himself getting looked at a bit more than last time. He looks back at her* What?? I gotta hole in the back of my pants or something?? *why can't people just talk to him instead of LOOK at him?*

Ei ) ~*~ She offered another small smile at ZAK, then snapped her attention back to AERIK just as easily. She nodded, though she was a bit confidant he could not see her. ~*~ MS ~ That it is. .. Soulmate? ~ ~*~ Pausing for the breifest of moments. Though confidnat in him, and his plans she offered a near muted, and terribly sincere.. ~*~ ~ Good luck... ~*~

Zora))Zak: I'm sorry.. *chuckles softly* No you don't have hole. I just can't believe how much you look like Sai.

{Windrazor} Eclipse: ~ Whether I'll have wished to stay away or not is illrelivent... I have hiden away from all of this for a while now, I never saw a purpose to get involved... now I know there is a purpose... otherwise I would not be here. ~ *her smile is soft though her eyes remain and emmotionless stare, almost giveing the impression of one who is blind*

Lyta))Gild;*she nods slowly* well...i suppose i am a bit nervous...*she shrugs*....i suppose they do..the plan sounds more like a suicide mission than anything else...

Venin: {ZAK} *blinks* so- I'm not supposed to /care/ if you just take off?? *actually sounding hurt.*// EI-QUE: gee, sorry for asking....// LYETH: *as she runs up to him.* ELL-LO! *blinkblink- then he groans* I KNEW someone was gonna think that....uh- sorry- my name ends in 'Ai' but the first letter isn't S....

Aerik}~JESSE:*Nicky be damned. Aerik didn't know if it'd bother him or not, and right now he doesn't care. He searches out Jesse's face, lets his eyes fall there, settle a moment, his smile soft and kindly, fond*MS*()....thank you... soulmate....()*a mental embrace, encouraging and supportive.. he wishes her the same...*

(VENIN) Ei: I wish I could help you, give you my snapback, anything.. All I have to do is fight.. I can do the physical stuff...*closes her eyes and breathes deeply* but I can't even begin to imagine what it is like fighting on that plane

Mind)~ He wandered away from INDIGO To seek other people. Metting a few interesting people like the kid with white hair and blue skin, the lady with cat eyes. A girl sitting with purple hair. As if he were in line to get tickets at a RAVE. He beamed a bit. Feeling good, and as they say ignorance is bliss. He looked back as the sea of people moved. Losing track of INDIGO, then findeing her a moment later. Straggling back to her.. near saying.. - I think this is going to be.. cool - ~

(Gild) Geoff Follows~To:LYTA~*One of the -only- bits of good wisdom his father had given him before he ran away.* sometimes you need to put everything on the line in order to live the way you want. Suicide mission or not... It's needed. One way or another they'll get us. Unless we succede... they have too many chips stacked thier way at the moment. Tech, mind people, scientists. Just too much. They need to be hit and hard.

Zora: {ZAK} *sighs and shakes his head* that's it- I wanna new face or at LEAST a new outfit! damned goverment contractors...you think they coulda at LEAST used one or two different molds...I'm the same thing he is.

{Aerik}~WIND:*MS*()*small amusement* you did not, did you? Well, some of us have it easier than others, to even be granted that choice. But as you have learned otherwise... good luck() *his smile, as always, softly amused. And he doesn't seem to care in the least if she is blind or not. Far more odd things have any in here seen...*

(ROCKY) zak: *chuckles, then look up meaning to crack a joke, but as she looks at you something stops her.. her voice almost timid* I know the feeling

{Indigo} *She looks over at MIND in surprise, her jaw almost dropping and then remembering that he didn't know exactly what was expected of him or what exactly was going on....maybe she should explain....*

Zora))Zak: *Frowning she realizes the truth in what he says* Umm... Is there some way we can tell you apart? I would hate for some one to shoot at you thinking it was Sai.

(Unnaturals)~ZAKAI:*Lyeth blinks, glances at ZORA, and back, blinking again* ..not Sai..? *she doesn't look happy about that, sighs deeply, and nods. of course, if it WAS Sai, this ... person... wouldn't be so calm, not altered as he now is* Sorry.. a girl can hope... *very dejectedly*

Rocky: {ZAK} Really?? *still pretty much glued to Venin* and here I thought I was the only one who's essentially clueless- I'm Zakai.

Ei ) ~*~ She nodded at VENIN.. thinking for a long moment. Returning AERIK's mental embrace. The person she held dearest at the moment. The other leaving a void. She blinked back at the kid, and said quietly ~*~ ZAK.. if I were to explain it to you, I fear it would confuse you. But I can try. ~*~ She began to explain to him.. everything in the most basic way she could. Pausing searching for less elaborate words. Upon finishing she looked up to Venin.. the same thought emerging. ~*~

{Windrazor} Eclipse: *she smiles softly and lets her gaze move elsewhere about the room*

(Venin) zak: *looks at you smiling, glad that she'd be missed* I don't want to see you hurt, I'm sorry *notes LYETH rushing towards you and is watches, ready for almost anything*

Lyta))Gild;*she swallows, sipping her jolt, deciding to plunge right in,.then speaks* they don't know about me...and..i dont see why i should risk my life in this...

Mind Melt) ~ He blinked as INDIGO's demeanor changed. He tilted his head placing his hand on on his chin. Deciding to ignore it already deciding a few days ago... she was simply weird. ~

(Aerik)~*The telepath glances about shortly, scanning over the crowds gathered and trying for a gauge.. were they ready? His eyes fall on Aura, who's watching him intently. Some silent communication between them, and she glances at Conda, who shrugs. Aura stands, Aerik straightening... both of them watch the others, to get just how ready they are...*

(Gild) Geoff Follows~To:LYTA~*Well now, this does have his attention.* Weeeeeeeeeell. The fact that they don't know about you.....-yet-... Is something you'll have to put a bit of thought into. They figure everyone out sooner or later. And if POLE didn't start a file on you in the mall that last time, then your real lucky. But the fact that I don't see that as too likely, meaning that he most likely has a bit on you. Means they will be looking for you.
