The Plague (Dead)

Tzu tapped the glass of the window and the driver started up again and the cavalcade continued on through the streets running over zombies left and right. Then the driver made a turn around the bin and eventually on a dirt path through the woods. The pathe eventually turned to gravel as the limo and several other cars made its way through. Eventually they made it to the gates and the gates opened taking them with in the Yakuza compound. Once the pulled to a stop he gestured to the door beside the manager. "Get out,... don't forget to hold the door for the lady" He said. He waited for both of them to exit before exiting himself and then he looked to the guards at the gate. "Initiate complete lock down and disable the buttons at the gate. " He said and the guards nodded and went off to do just that.

He began to look for his nephew and found him he did in the armory where a wounded was being treated. He rose a brow and Zomura just shrugged. "Don't ask Uncle,..." He said and Tzu nodded.
"When your all finished here meet me in the dining building." He said and then left them there to their devices.

Zomura decided to follow his uncle Yumiko following right behind him. Zomura just wanted to be with his uncle at the time. Plus all this excitement made him hungry and he could not wait to eat right now.

"Well in that case,... we might have to expect GTC to come down and do what I have been trying to prevent for five years... Been getting them supplies so they don't revolt and yet looks like it will be wasted if the GTC comes to take claim of the mine. Whether she dies in that mine or not they got enough ammunition to come and do it. Hopefully I will have been transferred by then. I am not being their pawn in the destruction of a people that I have been trying to help." He said. Suddenly he didn't want the rest of his fries and his shake and moved to a basics desk. "Enjoy, finish that for me..." He said and then moved back to his desk and sat down. Seems like it never ends around here,... once one problem is solved another rises in it's place. Once more it came down to one thing. He needed a vacation. He had a feeling that wasn't going to happen. Perhaps Craig can work his magic fast enough and get him off this planet. They waited for Silvia though, too bad someone else couldn't transfer him right now.

He shook his head and decided to get it all out of his mind and slowly popped open the panel and looked at the black crystal shard. Once more if gave a inner glow of a dark purple as energy poured around it. It was indeed beautiful. He would not want to remove it from the arm and replace it. The glowing pulsating as he stared at it. Almost in a rhythm and suddenly he began to feel his eyelids get heavy. He quickly shook his head and closed the panel and began to do what remained of his job at his desk. Checking security cameras and he took no of the engineer that helped him leave his quarters with chocolate spots on his face and with a candy bar in his hand. Ailen smiled at it and clicked on for the next camera. He was glad he was able to give one last gift to these people before he left.

Can't wait until the storm passes and they can get back to work getting her out of there. He wanted off,... he wanted a break before the shit hit the fan and everything else.

The Safe Room

Karras snorted at her words. You think acting like that is going to get me to cave and apologize?... yeah try again. He said as he decided the food would be better then nothing and grabbed something to open it with and once he did he began to eat it. It wasn't like anything he ever had. It tasted kinda bad. He sighed and decided to eat it anyways. He patted his stomach. "Don't worry, as soon as I am out of here I am giving you something a lot better." He said talking to his stomach. He would then be out of her hair and he welcomed it. Perhaps this time he will stay there in his village. They would prepare for a fight and if Silvia wanted to help she was more then welcome to.

Once he got done eating he plopped it on the table. He then moved to the door and leaned his ear onto it to see if he could hear anything on the other side. It was real tempting to open it and leave. So what if her mind boils. So she believed the GTC was behind it. In that case it would not be long before they would come and take more from his people. They would fight it, they would fight them. No more hiding, no more cowering. If they were going to die in this fight then so be it. He would rather die with courage then like a coward.

The last ride of the Brax'Na was about to be taken soon and he would make sure they did not go with out a fight.

He kept thinking on it trying to come up theories of what the Twin's plans were. "At first I thought they were in on it, like they had something to do with it. Then their actions just kinda fucked that theory over. They might just be in it for their own gain.... Like maybe they want their own tower to run as well, even though they said they didn't." He said. Again everything was being thrown in the air. He quickly finished off his burger and nearly got a bit of brain freeze. He quickly shoved one of the fries in his mouth hoping the warmth would stop the pain until it subsided. He then stretched and picked up his fries and walked over to the window. He sighed as he shoved a fry into his mouth. He then offered Marx a fry. "Don't worry man,... she will be fine. She is in good hands right now. Plus have a little faith in the people who helped you there. Jeremiah got the fans working right?...have some faith he did a good enough job and that there is enough supplies in there for them to survive until the storm gets done with."

He then looked to the ceiling and sighed using his telekinesis to bring his shake to him and took a slurp. "Besides she is a survivor right?... and Gwen said she was still alive. I know your like her brother so I understand your worry I do.... before you say I don't, don't everyone here in this room knows I lost my sister in a bit of civilian retaliation. I know what it's like to have a sister to worry about. Not saying don't worry... just don't be so tense. Relax,... and maybe find out who is behind the two security guards. I know two of our security officers wouldn't just go off and blow up the mine."

He then looked to Gwen. "Don't the Brax'Na have the mining rights to that place?..." He said as he looked back. "Maybe that's why the mine was targeted... No mine no rights. No rights,... means nothing to stop GTC from taking over.... kinda stupid to just cave it though. So I don't think GTC is behind it either. I mean it produces the most greatest crystals.... GTC destroying it would be the last thing they would do. They would sooner find a way to annex the BraxNa or wipe them out then........ son of a bitch. That explains why Tristan was starving them."

He took another sip and another fry as he paused to think and chew. Once he swallowed he decided to talk about the time when they would take Tristan off this planet. "Just saying,... I want to be the one to toss his ass in the shuttle to the prison planet... would break his jaw but I wouldn't want him to be too damaged when he arrives." He sighed and finished the shake and wondered if the pictures of earth were real. It looked like the factory end of Courosant from star wars. It was not pretty at all. Not like the old earth.

The Safe Room

"Well maybe when the storm goes away I will back track to those corpses and we will drag them out with us... maybe they have some answers on their bodies as to why they did this." He said. He was still pissed at her for insulting her. He would make her feel bad about it for awhile before accepting her apology. Sometimes it was the only way spoiled brats learned. "God, I feel like killing something... do not take me to see Tristan. Whether he did this or not it is still his fault. This planet is dying even worse sense he took over. Now our mines are gone.... I don't think the GTC is behind THIS though. If what you say is true and there is value in it. They wouldn't create a cave in and risk destroying a gold mine. Some other group is involved... maybe Tristan,... maybe he doesn't want GTC to come in and stomp over him so he got rid of the mine hoping they would only look to Altenia for its position."

"You can always trust in that man to be greedy and spoiled. He would not like it if something happened to take from him what he wants. Destroying a mine will be one thing he would do,... you being in here a added bonus after what you did. Because you always like making new friends everywhere you go don't you?.... any how when I get out of here I will take this gun and tell my people what is coming and that we need to prepare and we can't fight no GTC with swords and horses. They will listen to me, perhaps find that gun runners cache and use his guns." He then smirked and laughed. "Oh I know one man would be happy to hear me say these words. He has been pushing it himself. I only shot him down because we are out of our league... still are even with the guns." He drank the rest of the water from the bottle and tossed it aside and tried looking for rations and food to eat.

He found one can of rations and looked at it...... "Don't tell me all your people even at the tower eat this?... no wonder Ailen has hardly any meat on his bones. How can they get big eating food of this kind.... wheres the steak or jerky?"

The Plague (Dead)

Zomura looked to the american and then outside. "Well first things first we got to disable those buttons at the gate that open the gate mechanically. Because all it would take is for one zombie to brush up against that and we have ourselves a breach." Then he looked to Sean and shrugged. "Then we have to keep an eye on those who would literally get themselves killed and turn themselves into a zombie. I honestly don't see how this man could tie his own shoes without hurting himself."

"Also Call of Duty,.... it kind of teaches you the basics on how to use a gun. Of course this guy either never played or never thought of it as a somewhat simulator." He said and looked to Armand. "Well you know where the nurses office is on this compound pick him up and take him there. Also,... if we have to leave this compound and go elsewhere,.... he is never taking up guard duty got that?" He said and then poked his head out of the armory. "See there are cars here so we could use them to go into town and get supplies if we have too, and seeing the amount of people we might be doing that soon. When my Uncle gets back we will begin planning our future. These guns are great but we have no cheat codes for infinite ammo so we will have to scrounge for that as well because if we don't we will run out of ammo. Luckily every police car and the police station will have some ammo and guns. There is also the embassy and I can think of several underground markets we could go check as well. As for food and shit,... there is a walmart that we can hit as well as several other super markets."

The Mines

His anger build up as she ignored every fucking word he spoke. "I have no balls?..... maybe you should shut the fuck up and listen for once instead of solving every fucking argument with anger!" He barked. "Maybe you never read our file, I am assuming that because you seem to forget I have been trying to save my people sense I took charge of them. You think I rode up to the tower every fucking week just to show of my good looks? No!, you stupid ignorant woman. I have been fighting the GTC ever sense then. Maybe you see only your own heroism and ignore everyone elses." He yelled back. He wanted to unleash his anger on her right now and smack her across the face. He had never seen a woman so bent up that they didn't listen.

"Thats why I have a hard time convincing my people we need to change!... yeah thats right, if thats any clue for your thick skull then I don't know what is..." He was more angry then anything. "I have been trying to save my people for the time I have been put in as their leader. You talents are all the damn same. Ignore the actions of others and only accept your own. It took all my power to stop my people from attacking the GTC, then again from the sounds of what I hear maybe I shouldn't maybe they should have attacked and died at the gates maybe then your fucking head would wrap around the idea that we did have balls!"

"Of course you don't know what I have done! you want to know why? I am surprised the thought never occured to you sense apparently you got you need to take over the tower,... apparently you ignored those too. The reason the records never show me standing up for my people is because that fucking asshole blocked and erased all of it. You think I came to the tower that day just for the walk?!"

No he couldn't see himself being with this woman ever, she has too much bent up anger and hatred that she don't listen EVER. It's only her words that are allowed to heard no one elses. "Also,... you didn't save us alone back there... or did you already forget the fact I tossed your ass in here because if I didn't you would have died right fucking there. Your so blind in your feelings you can't see the events around you. Only your own."

"And I was talking about my people when I said everything not me or are you that ignorant as well. How did someone like you ever take charge when all you know how to do is give orders and yet not listen...." He said snarling at her. He spat at her feet. To angry to be even slightly afraid of what she was doing. "I have been manning up you stupid bitch!,... I have been trying to change my people for a long as time. But I guess because you were never there to see it it never happened. I change what I said,.... my people cant follow a woman so hell bent on getting herself killed and would never try to understand anything around her. Also you lost two parents,... join the fucking club. We all lost something,... what makes you so special. You think just because you lost something that your voice is better heard then ours. Your no different from Tristan, he never listened to a damn thing I said either."

"For ten years I have been fighting the damn GTC but go ahead still say I have no balls because the day I killed our previous leader who feed the stigma's never happened in your fucking eyes. Maybe when my people fight the GTC and die out then maybe you will be convinced we do. Apparently all you understand is self sacrifice. I have been trying to change my people so we could survive, I did not tell my people to shut the fuck up and start pulling rocks to save a woman just to be told I have no balls to right here"

The Tower

He grabbed his order and drink and started to head back to the elevator. He sipped on his shake while he did so. It was a long time sense he let himself gorge like this. He wondered out of the commissary and then towards the elevators and took them back up to the Mor once he did so he would move back to his desk and began to eat. He looked at his old crystal as it sat there on his desk and began to wonder why he went out of his way to make such a charm. As if hell she would accept it, nor should she. Her thoughts should be on the tasks at hand not him. That's why he was going with his transfer. He was certain he could pull out all kinds of excuses to Craig to convince him to let him stay. He just decided not to. What was the point?... no he need to get to earth and get his head checked and fixed by some of the empaths there. He needed a time to relax and he hasn't had the time to.

He began to do his old job and start monitoring the cameras as he ate. He suddenly began to wonder about the twins though. Why? Hell if he knew. The time of the blackout and their T&C they could have easily broken Tristan out or done something to speed up his release. They didn't, they teleported to the commissary instead and had some soup. "Hey Gwen,... if you had a twin and you got a opportunity such as a tower wide camera outage, and could T&C anywhere,.... what would you do? If you were them. I have been trying to understand why they did it. IS it their way of telling us they don't care what happens to Tristan, because within the time it took us to find them in the commissary they could have easily done something to help free him. Like shut of the shields to his room or something but no."

Name: Hotaru Saturn

Race: Human/Earth Born

Age: 24

Gender: Female

Rank: T-3

Appearance: Hotaru is short at four foot nine inches and weighs only ninety pounds. Unlike most talents on earth she is not as strong as she should be but has very beautiful features starting with her violet colored eyes and pale skin. He short dark hair has a purple hue to them. She likes to wear a white uniform with a short purple skirt and a bow at her breasts.



Possessions: She likes to collect a lot of old world stuff like old comics and toys. She even spends most of her earnings purchasing them. She already has nearly the whole collect of sailor scout action figures needing only one more to complete it.

Skills/Abilities: Telekinetics (Basic Empath), Telepath (Basic Empath), Medical Training

Personality: She is very caring and apologetic. She has often been told she is too sweet for the GTC.

Crystal: Red, she was given a red crystal and she thought it was cute due to her being part of the red cross so to speak.

History: At a very young age young Hotaru, about around 10 - 11 years of age had to cope with her first loss. Her mother, who died of a disease that finally took her after so many years of fighting. Then at age 15 she lost her father in a accident working repairs. They didn't even let her see the body because of the accident was so bad.

Luckily by that age she was already enlisted at the GTC academy on earth. It was there she learned much of the basics of how to be a empath. She wanted to help people, and felt she could make a difference if she trained in it. Learning only the medical importancies in the powers of a empath, like how to use telekinesis in a medical way, or telepathy for much the same ways.

At much training she was more then just some nurse, she also helped people get back on their feet by just simply comforting them with her words and her magic. She was a therapist of sorts in a way. She did still heal patients of their illnesses though and this made her feel very accomplished.

Despite her caring nature, she did not make much friends. She had tried ,but they always felt that a patient should never get close to the doctor.

The Forests of Death (Dead)

The Forest

A hour had past and Ceceria and Gorgamesh seemed the best of friends. She had been leaning on his shoulder for about half a hour each taking turns of drinking from the gourd which was quickly running dry. When they had finished she frowned.... "Sorry I did not mean to drink it all I promise." Gorgamesh smiled and laughed at her shaking it off. He then moved a arm around her clasping the opposite shoulder. He would then point to the stars telling her stories and she would listen. She did not stare at them however, only at him. He had a look about him that drew her in. Was it the scars? was it his free spirit? was it his insanity? She figured it was all three. She could see that in his eyes there were no color just emotions all of them bunched up causing him to behave unlike most. When he caught her just staring at him he paused and coughed a little. The moon light caught her eyes and made them sparkle with his visage and for a minute there it almost looked like she would kiss him and then he pulled away. She sighed and went back in a sitting position but still rather close to him. She liked him and she did not know why.

She looked to see Ishmael staring at her with a raised brow and she had to laugh. "What?...we all have our tastes in people. I just like him that's all" She said. Ishmael nodded and snorted. "Yeah remember how you had your arms around me?" He asked and she went quiet and then twiddled with her thumbs. " Well your taken so... I decided to pick someone else. Who is this woman that has claimed you anyways?"

"Don't worry you will meet her soon." He said and she frowned. "Your no fun."

The Plague (Dead)

Zamura and Yumiko heard the gunshot and quickly came running to see that the stupid man has shot himself in the foot. Yumiko shook her head and looked away. What pissed Zamura off was what the damned g.i said. "Don't you insult my people like that,... we are not as stupid as you think we are." He barked. He then moved to Sean and spun his .32 special and then cracked its handle across the face of Sean. "I warned you once you fucking moron. Every Zombie within a hundred miles or so just head that gun shot. You do something to destroy what we got here once more. You won't have to worry about the damn zombies."

He then looked to the airborne infantryman. "Let me remind you whose compound you are currently in, this is one of five compounds within Japan run by five Japanese men. You think we are so stupid and unable to use a gun. Go ahead, leave... go survive on your own. I wouldn't want my people to get in your way of survival." He then looked over to Danica.

"Remember how I told you there were two types of Americans and which type you fit into, I bet you can guess which type he fits into." He said. He then pulled Yumiko with him to get her situated. He then began to hand her a belt to fit clips for the pistol that his uncle gave her and even handed her two smaller pistols. They were usps, as of a matter of fact. He then handed her a much more smaller blade something more usable for her. It was a Wakisashi, a katana with a shorter blade basicly. He then began to fit himself, placing his back up .32 into its ankle holster.

He then moved over to a wall and pressed a button for the panel to go up. He then picked up himself a Dragonov sniper rifle. He placed a clip within it already and pulled back the bolt to get a bullet in the chamber. He then grabbed a few knuckle knives placing them all around his belt. He then found himself two usps for himself. He then grabbed ammo belts for them as well. He then looked to Yumiko and found his anger leave him as he looked at the priestess. She looked like that woman from the the resident evil games only the woman had shorter hair and it was black and had a red dress.... or was it black? He shrugged and moved to hold her close to him. "Don't worry Yumiko we will make through this together, I promise you." He said. She then in a very light voice answered.

"I know,..." She said and she had to smirk. "Well that line was said before..." She paused and was about to say something but Zomura said it first. "Yeah it was when Han Solo was about to be frozen in carbonite. He said I know after princess leia told him she loved him." He said. He the pinched her cheek and looked about the room.

"When my uncle gets back we will look into reinforcing the walls... the walls are not too bad with the thick stone base at the bottom... the gate seems to be the only weakness.... and as long as some moron doesn't kill himself we wont have a zombie breach." He said. He then looked over at Sean. " He is lucky he only shot himself right now. If he had hit anyone else I would have killed him." He warned and threatened Sean with that one. "We Japanese are smarter then the Irish,... thats why you americans always ask our exchange students to do your homework for you..." He said with a joke right back at the american.

The Mor

Thank fucking god for Gwen's deep deep heart, that he would not have to stare at those damn twins for another fucking hour. He then stopped himself at the door way of the Mor and turned around. "Hey any of you want anything?... cheeseburger? big mac?.... double quarter pounder? anything? " He asked. He figured he could just grab it in a to go bag and bring everything back up with him. Would give him a chance to play with powers some. He needed to get back to being used to use them. He always turned to his gun or his sword for his strength. After what happened in the docks, he need his body to get used the powers he was using. What pissed him off is that it was such a simple power. God forbid any teach him how to fucking teleport or some shit. He looked to everyone, specificly those that mattered right now, Marx, Gwen, anyone else of interest. "You know what,.. you got my comm number right?. You think of anything you want just hail me alright." He then stood there and smirked as he turned to leave. "Hail,... as if I was in one of those star trek movies." He head for the elevator and leaned against the elevator walls and pressed the button to go down. There was something really awesome about taking the rides down the elevator. It was the feeling of lightness that came from the experience. It almost felt like he was floating in a cold pool of water. Oh man could I use a vacation right now.

The Elevator stopped and opened as he reached the floor he wanted and started to move to the commissary and that was when he saw them. The very welcoming and soothing glow of the golden arches. He smiled and walked towards them and did so slowly incase anyone hailed him for a request of what they want. "I would like a double bacon cheeseburger, a large fries, and a medium chocolate shake...." He asked. If by chance anyone did contact him he said their order next and so forth. Once everything was in order he finished the request with a... "To go please."
As much of a shit hole planet this was it still had some luxuries. He then wondered about the mines as he waited. There she was stuck in a fucking mine and here he was about to have lunch. He shook his head and just sighed. Once the stuff came he picked up the back and the tray to carry his drink, and by chance what ever anyone else ordered as he headed back up.

The Mines

He looked down at the ground listening to her words. Once more they were like poison taunting him to push himself against her but he fought it back. She cared about his people just as much as he did. He liked that, he liked her. This relationship would only be mutual though and if anything sprouted it would have to be secret, and yet it couldn't. Even with a secret eventually they would get caught and all would be revealed to everyone. Some, most like from the tower, would see no problem with it,..... however his people would be harder to convince. Their stigma over women like her was hard to heal. The last couple days he meet two women that were not like any other. Gwen, who he meet at the entrance of the mine and the Silvia who he meet only recently at the top of the tower. They had meet in such the weirdest way to and un expected. When he heard of a woman running a tower he thought they meant Tristan. Then he realized it wasn't a joke and they actually had. He had mixed feelings back then. He did not know how to react to it. He only thought of it as: Well she's better then Tristan. Then chaos struck the planet and he was forced to save her.

"Listen,... I really enjoy your heroism and all but you can not protect my people alone." He said. "From what I have seen you would do just that in some self righteous sacrifice for my people. Yet you question why I saved you in that tunnel." He said. He then powered down the rifle and set it down to lean on the wall as he stepped closer to her. "You think you know about how my people are just because you read about it in your own history books. The stigmas my people have are not so simple. They were born into it taught it. That the only good use for a woman was ass bent over some post. Why because of fear that if another woman was ever given equal standing that our people would fade completely. Such fear has driven them to not accept new things. However, accepting someone like you is much different then them accepting a new kind of weaponry. I could teach them the benefits from using the rifles like that one. Eventually they would accept it. Perhaps if you were a regular woman they would accept you, yet you are not normal. As much as I love the thought of bringing my people together with you and your friends with such a bond, we still come to the fact that my people are as stubborn as a mule.

"Perhaps, when my people are more healed in their hearts and mind I will revisit that question you asked me, as to why I came down here. As much as my people hate it, we need you. I need you. With your help we could be armed and trained just enough to fight along side you." He then sighed looking around the room and towards the door. " Of course none of this will ever happen or occur if we don't get the fuck out of this god damn hole....." He said.

Tower

"Do I have any ideas,... I do actually." He said as he moved over pressing down on his com and then putting it on speaker. "Hey Craig,... Why don't you go and inform Gwen here your plan of getting Tristan off planet." He said placing the comm down.

He was happy that Gwen confirmed that Silvia was doing well. He knew she was,... He had faith in her abilities to survive. Even if he took steps and thoughts of what if's. He then thought of Tristan. "I most certainly would enjoy throwing him into the shuttle that would take him to the prison planet. I suppose watching it would be just as good." He then looked to Gwen and saluted with his fingers. "I suppose I should go and watch the girls."

He said as he proceeded to leave. Despite Silvia being in the mine the day was starting to look up. Tristan is being sent to a prison colony. He was being Transferred. Earth should be better for me. Hope Silvia understands. With the way I have been she should have no problems saying no. His stomach growled. "Man I could use a double bacon cheese burger right now.." He said.

The Mines

He looked to the hand print and smiled shrugging. Maybe he was a little rough when he did that but he had to get her out and in the safe room. He hoped it would go away soon. He had his reputation to up hold. Yet here he was holding a gun and she was right there trying to help him with the weapon. The way she moved was as if she was trying to invite him in. he couldn't afford that right now. Maybe if his people changed their views about women then maybe. Silvia was not just any woman either. She was a talent,... a stigma hard to wash away from his people. He stepped away and nodded to her as she asked him if he understood everything. "Yeah I understand now" He answered. He began to follow the steps she showed him powering it on. Lets just hope he didnt have to use it. He grabbed a bottle and opened it taking a drink. He looked at the black crystal and nodded interesting. Not that he cared or anything. I mean its just a fucking rock. The GTC wanted them though for their talents. From the way ot sounds this will be one they dont get.

So there was a little Resistance happening right here on the planet. He shrugged,... Nothing wrong with it really he hate GTC just as much as anyone else. He was a little worried about his people. What if this resistance brings a war here and his people get caught in the cross fire. He didnt like it very much the idea. The only way he could see them surviving is if he convinced his people that they would need to use technology like this to stand a chance.

That Stigma would be easier to wash away then convincing thwm their fears were no longer valid in the talents.

He sighed and laughed at the idea of teaching her... "Yeah sure good one. We get out if here alive and I just might." He said. "So where we going now?"
