| TK blushed at Videor. "Alright, spar time later."
"Of course I trust you Gabs, thats why I brought them here along with you." Ignoring her friend's agitation. She then glanced at Alevon once more, nodded and was about to teleport to Yia but found he Emir had taken the boy's interest now. Soon she disappeared back to France. Though because TK hadn't fully recovered, she was a little queasy but she ignored that. Truth was, she wanted Maya on WADE for selfish reasons. She didn't trust the girl, and people she didn't trust she rather keep them in her sight in some sort of fashion.
"Now, where to begin..." She mumbled to herself as she squatted on her knees and stroked the ground, as if she were looking for something.

| "The base they're on has artificial gravity... You'll be fine." Samantha replied calmly before resting her head on her keyboard,"And, I have some too..." That is when she flipped a switch, and a form of artificial gravity slowly turned on, pulling people slowly to the ground.
TK would look around, and after a few hours would find where she last saw Maya. There was a very slight trace of her, mostly the slight smell of blood that was common on her. TK could follow this through France for some time when suddenly, the trail was gone. There was no sign of anything covering it, she was just... Gone... | |

| Yia took the bullet and smiled as it just fell off of his indestructible body. "Guess it won't be a problem then, eh Emir?" He asked giving the man a wide smile. He moved towards the man, since he had been taught how to use a gun, he sort of bonded with him slightly... | |

| the bullet that was supposed to hit Yia floated then fell to the ground as the artificial gravity. The loud noise of the gun however, begin to echo through the room.
"GOD DAMN That's Loud." Emir shouted, covering his ears.

| TK frowned and rubbed her head in annoyance. "Seriously?" She stomped her foot on the ground and teleported back inside of WADE. "Alevon" She began, a hint of irritation in her voice for having failed at the search. "I'm sorry but...Maya is nowhere to be found. Her trace just...vanished."
TK then realized the change in gravity but refused to remark on it. She only glanced at Samantha with utter silence. Whatever was her issue, she left that up to Ariel to handle. | |

| TK averted her eyes to Alevon. She couldn't help but feel slightly bothered by the situation. "Its no problem, after all, we're all here for each other." With that, TK turned her back to him and began walking towards Gabrielle's acquaintances. She eyed the mysterious men with curiosity before speaking, "Why...hello there." She grinned coyly. | |

| Samatha finally just stood up from her cage as she stepped out. She made her way to one wall as she opened a small pad, and after typing something out, a door would slide open,"Alright alright, there is a room at the end of this hall that leads to the right arm... You guys will be getting in the base from there, but I have work to get done here. So could you please just go..." | |

| "Thanks for all your help Samantha... I wish there was something more we could do to help you..." Yia said to her, and he made is way through the door that lead to the right arm and waited for the others. He hummed silently... He'd get revenge on that bastard for all the people who gave their lives to help this small group. | |

| Katja didn't make any fuss over being tossed into the machine. It was clear that time was of the essence, and she had managed to brace her landing inside well enough so it was fine. The entirety of the flight, Katja drifted about by herself, curled in a ball as she checked and rececked the contents of her bag; she only needed the gun but was unsure of how much good it would do. She regretted accepting Kate's blood offering; her powers would be minimal at best. She didn't believe this wasn't going to work without her implants doing all the work for her.
When they arrived, Katja made for the exit quickly, allowing the others to lead the way | |

| "Bonjour," one of them said.
The men had started taking off their masks and slipping out of their formal Alpha Guard uniforms. It had to be remarked that they had casual clothes underneath, to Gabrielle's mild surprise. Outside of the black wear they looked practically normal. And, to boot, they were more than comfortable taking the room they needed.
That was the first time Gabrielle had heard any of them speak; she was slightly annoyed that she was not the one they had spoken to first, and had instead chosen to converse with TK. She loved TK, but sometimes she had to admit things went strangely for the both of them.
Gabrielle sighed and, dropping her feet to the ground, quickly bounced to the other side of the robot. She closed her eyes and concentrated on summoning a beast, any shadow at all, outside in space.
The one who had assisted her in destroying the titan walked over to her. It was then that she noticed his physical features in better detail. He had curly brown hair and knotty muscles. Typically French, she thought to herself.
"Mlle. Goussand," he said, "there is vacuum in space, but there is no resistance."
The guard's words seemed to give her just that extra push needed to create a large, deathly silent, chinese dragon outside of WADE. Its huge form overshadowed the sun, and for just a moment the mech was in total obscurity before it disintegrated. Gabrielle seemed more than pleased with herself.
"Je le sais, merci1."
(1. I know that, thank you.) | |

| The room in the arm was about as small as a subway car, with a seat and straps for everyone.
Videor would put a hand on TK's shoulder and say,"We can talk with them in the other room Tsinanae." Videor still had a light smile, but it was obvious that he was nervous for what was to come. | |

| TK turned her head slightly to Videor and said, "Of course" before returning her gaze upon the man who spoke to her. She smiled pleasantly and bowed courteously. "I'm sorry..." She began, standing back upright as she continued, "But I only speak English. However it is nice to be acquainted." TK's eyes flickered in the direction where Gabrielle took off and then back at the men.
"My name is Tsinanae'Kirunometzkie Shinou, but TK for short." She then held her hand out to the man who had spoken to her; she wanted to guide him through the arm instead of throwing them both. | |

| The man simply bowed his head and reached out for TK's hand without much hesitation. "S'il vous plait, lead the way." It was obvious his English hadn't been as practiced as Gabrielle's; even when the girl was thirteen and barely settled in America, her bilingualism was nearly perfected. He motioned with his chin to the other behind him. "They will follow."
No mention of him name, though. This apparent lack of delicacy seemed to be commonplace within the Alpha Guard; on her side of the arm, Gabrielle seemed to be having trouble getting a conversation out of her own suitor.
"I'm Gabrielle."
"Je sais.1"
"Who are you?"
"Devinez.2" Gabrielle only sighed. Looking outside with a wolflike dog (it was much darker in space than in the regular atmosphere) she could still see his dragon. As well as a second one, circling around the robot.
"And what are you doing?"
"Je t'emmerde.3"
Gabrielle grit her teeth at the insult, but let it slide. Having lost her long-term partner and her emergency one having simply vanished out of her grasp, she began to think that maybe the succinct process he suggested wasn't entirely undesired. Neither she nor he were unattractive, at least.
(1. I know. 2. Guess 3. Fuck you. (In French, "fuck you" really is a verb; as in, "I am currently sodomizing you". Thus Gabrielle interpreting it as a suggestion is just a sardonic attempt at deforming his statements.) | |

| "Right." Was all TK said. She wasn't impressed with his alluring French, perhaps she was used to Gabrielle, or simply bored. She didn't even bother to ask for the guy's name as she held his hand firmly in hers and lead the way. TK averted her eyes forward as she walked though her jaw was clenched.
She wanted to threaten the man, but she decided to be diligent enough until they reached the other side. | |

| Alevon turns to the men and looks at Gabrielle, then at them once more.
"Ce qui vous apporte ici ?" He asks.
(what brings you here?) | |

| The man looked at Alevon for a moment before bursting into a slow chuckle. "Elle." He pointed a finger at Gabrielle, who turned around quizzically in response.
"Ce n'est rien,1" he said.
"Ah..." Gabrielle turned around again.
"Elle nous a amenés ici. Ça devrait suffire comme explication?2" His tone wasn't condescending or anything, but the way he was saying who instead of what, and by what he actually supposed it was why, he was quite content with dodging the question.
(1. It's nothing. 2. She brought us here. It should suffice as an explanation.) | |

| TK eased her grasp on the man. The more she loosened her grip, the better chance she had at slicing the palm of his hand, but instead she jerked her pinky upward slightly, resulting in a small bit of wind to form enough to prick him, a gesture that if he screwed up, she'd demolish him. With satisfication, TK turned on her heels and began walking the opposite direction. She had no intention of being in a hurry to get on the other side. She also didn't want to be in the midde of everyone conversing, nor was she presentable for that. | |

| Katja had already seperated herself from the group, waiting patiently near the exit for a cue to continue forward. Her heart was pounding against her ribcage, and the adrenaline was beginning to make her dizzy. Once TK neared, she spoke, not turning her gaze from the exit hatch.
"Do you know what fear is, Tsinanae?" Katja asked, a shiver echoing through her words. "Heh, to fear death; Is it selfish of me to want to live, despite all I do? And what of those, whose lives I've robbed. Was it just in delivering judgement to troubled souls like my own?"
Katja's questions and unease were on the borders of being rhetorical, but nonetheless, her own concerns were no less made clear; Katja was scared, and certain desperation was filling her head with doubt, and worst of all solution.

| (Not at the base yet, Sam just doesn't want you in the same room. You guys can keep going, just don't move too quickly due to my random inactivity.)
"Gabrielle. Your friends can stay. I need to talk with them." Sam replied as she moved the keyboard back, opening her cage as she slowly stepped out. Her legs were shaking quite a bit but with a quick glance they stopped. Sam looked at the others as she said,"You can go now... In a few hours we'll get there, and I'll explain the plan." | |

| Gabrielle looked at her four new companions strangely, then back at Sam. "I trust you know how to communicate with these people." She tilted her head forward, gave her helper a tap on the shoulder, and went on after TK.
The one whose hand was pricked by TK's wind didn't seem to have much of a reaction. All of them seemed to have an impassible expression on their faces as they stayed behind with their pilot, staring in complete silence. | |

| (Kristy, the question was 'what brought you here?', not 'who' or 'why'. I ran it through a translator both ways to make sure it was correct. Whether it is correct or not, I typed at the bottom what was supposed to have been said in french since most of us/I do not speak it.)
Alevon nods a little, still a little unsure of the new people and their reasoning for being there. He recalled that Gabrielle had some enemies in france, and being that these people were indeed french, he couldn't be sure of their intentions, and that perhaps they had forced her to bring them along. Regardless, he was glad for the extra help...IF that is what they were there for. | |

| And here I thought I scared this girl away.
TK thought this as she overheard Katja, though she wanted, she couldn't help but stand by Katja, her left ear to Katja's left ear, whereas TK stared at the exit, she knew Katja was still facing forward towards the group ahead.
Even though TK also listened in on Sam suggesting Gabrielle's guests to stay, that made TK want to hang about just a tad bit more.
"I know far to well what fear is. I used to fear life more than you can imagine." TK blinked once and tilted her head slightly, but enough for Katja to feel the tips of her bang sway slightly across Katja's shoulders, for TK was only so tall. "It is not selfish for you to want to live, its selfish for my mother to want to live if anyone." She smirked at that statement before continuing, "The lives that you've robbed have been set free already, whether it for deliverance of your own or not, you're not a demon, you're just not perfect."
TK rubbed her forehead slightly and sighed, "There is someone else who you remind me of just a tad bit, however, I like you much more than I will ever like her. I was actually hoping you could meet her, though for some reason I have a feeling we'll all meet her again before the day is over."

| Katja sighed. Not perfect. "I used to be normal." She said softly, before glancing at TK with a smile, no longer hiding what was otherwise a beautiful smile for the sake of cloaking her fangs.
She wouldn't say it to her face; earlier trials on the subject proved it a volitile area of discussion, but she had a feeling. More like a hunch, that whether Udo meant anything to her or not, she certainly would have made an impact on him. Katja admired her strength; strength Katja only had when starving for blood. It was clear that she was a pillar of that strength to the entire group, and yet behind all the sullen behavior and abrupt attitude adjustments, TK had a sort of nestled kindness that melted away the rest.
It wasn't just her scent, the smell of Swartzwald, but also the memories of friends, so brief those friendships were. Her strength, Gabrielle; the darkness and gloom clawing it's way to the surface; Damien; and her ever present concern for others, Sean. The similarities all wrapped into one, and for a moment, she felt like she had them all back, even Udo. It was hard to miss TKs stubborn undertones.
She wasn't sure how long she had paused looking at TK, but eventually she gave a more formal reply. "I'm glad I had the chance to meet you, you know?" She said, looking back at the group. "Listen, could I ask you for a favor?" | |
