[i]Meeting Point, by the trees[/i][/center]

	Liana smiled at Sigmund's comments regarding what she called him earlier, and kept an eye on things while Sig and Leval discussed things. After briefing both Leval and Sigmund on Sekhemi, she sighed. At Leval's comment on what on earth they signed up for, Liana sighed. [color=b000fc]"Sometimes I ask the same question time and time again..."[/color] Liana thought, but her comment was more in line towards Peace Sentinel than the academy. Once Sigmund mention that he doesn't intend to steer clear of anyone, she looked to him. [color=b000fc]"I forgot to mention that this motherfucker's a pyromancer. Burns people alive and turns him into ash... at least that's what leaked cell phone footage indicates. Egyptian propaganda says that he's capable of much more, and while I'd take that with a grain of salt, I'd still be careful around him."[/color] Liana explained.

	Once Sig made the offhand comment on how his levitation worked beforehand, Liana turned to him. [color=b000fc]"I'm sorry? I wasn't listening."[/color] Once he offered to bring both her and Leval up to the island, she looked up towards it, seeing it far away into the clouds. [color=b000fc]"That shit's like at least... 20,000 feet off the ground. I think it's best that we try to at least use a helicopter to get up there or something."[/color] She turned to the others. [color=b000fc]"I work for Hendrix Tactical, from New York. I'm pretty sure I can pull a few strings and get a helicopter to take us up there."[/color]

	She then turned around back to Sekhemi, who was yelling and shouting his plots of revenge. Liana appeared to be at least somewhat fearful of him, turning around and putting her hand on her holstered chrome handgun. She eased her hand off of it once Sekhemi ran off, and from that, she breathed a sigh of relief. [color=b000fc][i]I swear, this mission's about to make me blast a motherfucker.[/i][/color]

	Once Soul flew over to Leval, she then saw that large orb fly towards them, and saw it in person. [color=b000fc]"Soul?"[/color] She looked at it, a confused expression on her face. [color=b000fc][i]Is that what I'm gonna look like after I perish? I'm gonna look kind of pretty.[/i][/color] She listened to Leval, who went on a tirade against Soul. She couldn't help but agree with him, and she decided to speak to it herself. [color=b000fc]"Listen man, whatever you are, there are lines we-"[/color] And then Soul left. [color=b000fc]"... nevermind."[/color]

	However, seconds later, Liana was approached by Celestia, who walked up to her and began speaking to her. [color=b000fc]"Hm?"[/color] The vampire blinked, still getting over a talking Pegasus. Once she introduced herself as Celestia, Liana smiled and nodded. [color=b000fc]"Liana Washington, a pleasure."[/color] Once Celestia asked if he was gonna go through with that threat, Liana nodded grimly. [color=b000fc]"Yeah, Sekhemi's a petty motherfucker, there's been plenty of reports that he casually burns anyone who looks at him wrong with his pyromantic powers. It wouldn't surprise me at all if he went on a rampage, but rest assured, I'd be one of the first to stop him before he even lifts a finger."[/color] Liana said with a soft smile. While she's been dodging her way out of questions and the like, that part she was honest about. While she wouldn't try to [i]kill[/i] him before the order was given, she sure will show him a whole lot of pain if he even tries to harm her new friends, or any of the other (non-evil) students. [color=b000fc]"Arken, eh? Is he the headmaster?"[/color] She asked, before remembering the briefing that Mr. Smith gave her, in which the headmaster was one of the 'intel black holes' that he mentioned in the mission briefing she received in her car ride. [color=b000fc]"Well, I doubt I need much improvement. It's a pleasure to meet you, and if you have any issues of people giving you shit, let me know. Working for Hendrix Tactical, well... taking care of bad people is pretty much my business."[/color] Liana smirked proudly.

	However, someone started speaking in her [i]mind.[/i] [color=b000fc]"What the fuck..."[/color] Liana began panicking, thinking to herself. [color=b000fc][i]How does this motherfucker know about Peace Sentinel? About my mission? About Operation Torchsnuff and my comrades involved? How in the fucking...[/i][/color] She then realized that she was indeed in a messed up place with messed up people with messed up abilities, but mulling over things in her head, whoever this was didn't seem to be a hostile party. The grin coming from this small creature revealed who it was, and Liana turned to her. [color=b000fc]"Motherfucker..."[/color] She grumbled to herself, still trying to get over things. Not even a half hour into the mission and her cover was already blown, and the mission already compromised. [color=b000fc][i]Who is she?[/i][/color] While almost everyone had a clear dossier on, this one? She was an unknown entity. Liana prayed that this entity wasn't hostile... but she's going to have a whole lot of explaining to do for Mr. Smith, and Peace Sentinel is going to need to design some mind-block resistance tech because this is some Grade A [i]bullshit.[/i] [color=b000fc][i]Yeah, we're cut out for this. But whoever you are, and whoever your boss is, you both better watch your step. Peace Sentinel doesn't fuck around, and neither do I. I'll be watching you.[/i][/color] Liana spoke through her mind, giving a stern look to Grace before turning back to her comrades. 

	Liana then took notice of Arken, who appeared in the middle of the field, and started healing everyone and everything up, and bringing things back. Liana, who took notice of the soldiers and servants, gulped. [color=b000fc]"Wait... are they dead?"[/color] She asked no one in particular, rushing over to one of the slaves with her super speed to check on their pulse. She discovered that they were indeed still alive, breathing a sigh of relief. She then rushed back to the group of new friends she made, and rejoined them. [color=b000fc]"The slaves and soldiers are still alive... I think."[/color] She said softly. [color=b000fc]"I only checked one."[/color] She listened to Arken as he rambled on and on about how the sins of one past do not matter, and that Sekhemi can be redeemed. [color=b000fc]"Bull-fucking-[i]horse shit.[/i]"[/color] Liana said quietly. She's seen and heard of the shit he's done. He's past the [url=http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/MoralEventHorizon]moral event horizon[/url] and [i]beyond.[/i] He's irredeemable by any standards, except for maybe radical terrorists, but it's likely that even [i]they[/i] hate this dude too. He's an affront to society itself, and once given the order, she will [i]not[/i] hesitate to send to hell with one or two well-placed 9mm bullets. 

	Once Arken praised her on her kindness, she knew in her heart that she wasn't exactly being kind. She was keeping an intelligence asset alive for the sake of Operation Torchsnuff. If it were her choice, she would've left him to die, or she would've murdered him herself given the chance to do it alone and quietly. She watched as Arken scolded Celestia for following Liana's orders, to which Liana looked to Celestia apologetically. [color=b000fc]"You'll know later."[/color] She said softly to Celestia before turning back to Arken. She turned around as she watched all of the slaves and soldiers wake up. She smiled a little, knowing that sooner or later, these men and women will be freed. In hindsight, she was glad that she was on the field instead of Hakeem and Carmen, it would've broken Hakeem's heart to see fellow Arabs enslaved like that... let alone fellow [i]humans.[/i] Arken is quite quick to show Sekhemi kindness with an illegality standing right there. 

	However, once Arken started talking about Soul and his possession of people, Liana was absolutely [i]vexed.[/i] [color=b000fc][i]What the hell? I shouldn't get mad at someone possessing me, or possessing someone else?[/i][/color] She was finally starting to understand where Leval was coming from. That too, was Grade A Bullshit. She wasn't gonna praise Soul for robbing someone of their will, identity and their body, let alone [i]her own[/i]. Yeah, Liana killed people, and she has used mind control to kill others too, but they were [i]deserving targets.[/i] There were rapists, murderers, and scum of all sorts. But [i]Soul?[/i] From what she gathered, he possessed a [i]child,[/i] and she should be [i]praising[/i] him for that? No way. She concluded that Arken must be American, because she believed only politicians and other folks from the American government would believe that robbing someone else of their freedom to 'help' them is okay in any standard. As far as she was concerned, Arken can fuck himself.

[center][i]Grand Hall[/i][/center]
	Soon enough, Liana and her newfound friends would all be teleported into the Grand Hall, which was massive and beautiful corridor decorated and built with... grandeur. Liana looked around with a little awe before Arken announced himself as the Headmaster. She listened to him, and while she was still mad, she was still getting over the teleportation and the new location. Indeed, Peace Sentinel often used teleportation magitech but even then Liana still needed to adjust to the new environment she was suddenly thrust into. After getting her senses in check, she listened to the introduction and the rules of the academy. She was a little confused about the 'abandoned building' part, but she decided that she'll file a report on that later. Attend class on time, no using powers outside the training room, no vandalism... wait there are [i]mythical creatures[/i] on this island and plenty of 'em? Wow, she needs to do some intel gathering on this place! Midnight curfew but with free exploration, travel with a partner, etc. and finally, what Arken says, goes. She's already pretty skeptical of the guy, so while she might obey what he says... she's already kind of unhappy with the way he views possession. She's already not a fan of soul, and with Arken taking his side, she will probably be [i]really[/i] pissed the moment soul takes control of her. He then listed off the rooms everyone will be in, and took note of Sekhemi's room. [i]236.[/i] She memorized, before hearing that Carmen and Hakeem were indeed here. She turned around to find them, before finding them indeed and smiling, waving to them. She then turned back to the others, listening for her room number. She's roomed up with someone named Epsilon, which a not-too-detailed dossier mentioned. [color=b000fc][i]Hopefully she isn't too bad.[/i][/color] Liana thought. She then learned that the rest of the day is the day she has to herself, so she'll be using this time wisely.

	However, once Sekhemi started going on a tirade and left immediately, Liana turned to him and gulped. After he walked out the doors, Liana blinked. She gulped. [color=b000fc][i]Oh shit, change of plans. Plan B, plan B![/i][/color] She immediately got out her phone and began texting through her secure channel.

	Liana then got an immediate response from a contact listed as "Eagle Eye."

	Liana sighed in relief before pocketing her phone, looking around. She then realized she had a map and a room key in her pocket when she put her phone away, which she took out and took a look at. [color=b000fc]"Wow..."[/color] She studied the map before putting it away, looking around to her newfound friends. [color=b000fc]"Well... that bullshit just happened!"[/color] Liana chuckled nervously, looking in between Celestia, Sigmund and Leval, who was now checking on the little girl. [color=b000fc]"I hope she's okay."[/color] She said softly before shooting a look to Carmen and Hakeem, giving them a tactical hand signal to regroup on her.
