Academy of Villains: Now With 200% More Multiverse [IC]

[ButterCatx]

She was not injured enough to actually be forced into the fetal position so she was either trying to trick Machina or trick her enemies. Deciding it was a risk worth taking Machina moved a tendril out away from him that he could retreat to in the worst case scenario. "I can help with that, but I need to take you prisoner and ensure that you will not harm the school or anyone else, do you understand?" She was kinda cute, Machina supposed, for a human, and she certainly was strong spirited.

Ice nodded and very convincingly pretended to pass out, so she could be 'captured' easily. I guess this brings the number of times I've been kidnapped up to three... But this place should be better than where I came from.

Machina picked up the girl, as he watched the assassins flee with their prizes. He turned and exited the hangar. He could interrogate her by himself, the other students had another assassin to interrogate as they pleased, but Machina didn't want a willing prisoner tortured, on his way to his room he stopped by the armory and picked up some handcuffs that he promptly placed on the girl, saying "Just a safety precaution" She could probably pick the lock if she truly wanted to but it would buy him time in the event of that happening and it would prove her trustworthiness.

[Arstotzkas]

Enough of this.

"Retreat," she snapped, and the assassins and herself began to leave the scene--except for the Australian man, who had been hit by bullets and was bleeding out, and the boy she called Flint, who had taken the symbiote's attacks.

James watched them retreat and calmly says "Looks like we won.... for now. But I have no doubt that they will be back, this isn't the last we've seen of them. For now however, we need to interrogate the people they left behind., to try and get some more jnfromatkob. And wait....." He does a quick headcount and comes up short "This might be a problem. Looks like we're missing people. Kidnapped, most likely."

[Rynagria]

Enough of this.

Hostiles retreating. Safety isn't guaranteed until enemies are destroyed, course of action. Pursue and eliminate.

Apostol without a word, dashed after them, FN Five-Seven in right hand and one of James' discarded dagger in his left. Hayate would have said something, but the boy ran off faster than the words left her mouth. Not that it worried her...... Much, after all, she and Apostol became friends. "You come back, you hear! If you don't come back after ten minutes, I'll assume that your captured and call the cavalry!"

She then called out to Austin and Zuri. "You two, the ones connected at the crotch, thanks for the help back there." Mockingly said Hayate, before going over to the Australian Man. "Hey, can I kill this guy? Or are you going to take him in interrogation as well?"

Blazing at about 30 kilometers per hour, he kept his pace, while his breath remained steady. No emotions ran through him, and the only thing that mattered was making sure the capability of the assailants to hurt him again was destroyed. Suddenly, everything went black.

[CoraSpia]

Karl had been busy trying to work out where the enemy dropship was when he noticed Austin and Zuri. Suddenly his calmness was completely gone: he turned around and glared daggers at them.
"Are you two fucking real?" he asked, anger and scorn in his face. "In case you haven't noticed, this fight isn't looking easy...and unless I can find out where these people are coming from, and make something bad happen to it, they're going away to never never land with 2 people we don't want capturing. Are you going to stop cuddling and help, or are you going to be as useful as you were the last time we were attacked?"

When the people went, taking 2 people with them, he sighed and reached out with his mind to one of the small creations him and Machina had worked on. When Machina opened the door, it flew wout, small as an insect and out of the door, following the instructions that Karl had sent to it.

The insect split up into about 20 little pieces: tiny gps tracking units that quickly caught up with the fleeing group and nestled amongst their hair and possessions. Most of them wold probably be picked up: Karl only needed one.

Coilin groggily watched as they retreated, his eyes blinking slowly, not understanding what was going on.

And then it hit him again.

They have her.

And they're leaving.

They're taking my Morrigan.

He slowly rolled out from behind the boxes and locked eyes with Anastasia for one more time. He said nothing, absolutely nothing, but tried to pry from her mind, slowly and steadily, the location of her base.

Something about Siberia...

But that was all.

F*cking Siberia.

Why can't these as*hole cults ever have their bases somewhere easy to get to, like England or France?

Sitting safely on the airship, Marissa scrolled through her gallery on her phone. Through a window, she managed to take a few pictures of the assailants, although some were blurry, facial recognition was still possible. Thanks, Karl, she thought, as she viewed the security camera footage of the fight through his own security backdoor on her laptop. After replaying it a few times, she was able to associate the names their presumed leader "Anastasia" referred to the other assailants as. With this information, she matched their pictures up, determined their powers, and began to cross-match it with her varied sources throughout the world. An instant hit was the Russian Security Service, hiding (as the Russians always do). Assassin Cult located somewhere in Siberia... has caused many civilian and military casualties, but not much else. She sends her information that she found to an anonymous whistleblower and news agencies in Europe and Russia. Will be great for the conspiracy market...Reddit...

Closing her laptop, she makes her way to the hangar. Noticing James, she comes up to him, concerned. "I was useless again, see? How was the fight?" She surveys the area with analytical eyes, noticing who was there and who wasn't. "Where's Benson?"

James replies "Marissa, you're not useless. Just because you weren't in a fight, it doesn't mean that you can't help. Your hacking skills can do more for us than a hundred battles, and probably get us more useful information as well. Also, the fight was fine I suppose. I'm surprised that they decided to retreat, they could easily have overwhelmed us. Though I suspect that wasn't their goal. And as for Benson? Well, I'm really sorry to say this but..."
James sighs "Looks like they managed to kidnap him. Last thing I saw was him being dragged to the ship. I'm sorry, but there was nothing I could do that could have prevented it.

"

Enough of this.

James mutters "That was probably a bad idea of Apostol to do that. Seems kind of reckless, if you ask me." He sees Hayte next to the Australian man and says "Honestly, I wish that we could kill him. But the fact is, he's more useful to us alive than dead. If we interrogate him, he might be able to lead us right to where the enemy is. Then, we can consider killing him if you really want to."

[Skyline United]

"Stop attacking and talk to me for a minute," Ice said through gritted teeth, not making an effort to dodge most of the darts and tripping towards Machina, dropping one of her pistols and clutching her chest. You know, this idea is crazy, but it might be so crazy that it actually works... If I can get these people to help me, I might be able to slip away and start a new life.

Honor nodded and blushed a little. "I'll wait out here," she said, leaning on the wall and listening to the voices in her head. You're not going to use this as a chance to make a move on her? You seriously are a coward, Two told her, and she just sighed and closed her eyes, opting not to encourage the voice by replying.

Gabriel left the room without another word, hiding her blush. That was awkward... Was I too direct? Or not direct enough in saying what I wanted?

Violet walked into her room and shut the door behind her. After about ten minutes, she walked back out wearing a light blue shirt and jeans. "Shall we go now?" she asked cheerfully as she took her hand once more.

Lance walked out after her and shut the door behind them. "Gabriel... Are you okay?" he asked as he walked over to her. Did I do something wrong? Did I misread her?

[ButterCatx]

"What the hell was that?" Machina asked as he walked into his room. He placed down The girl and said to her "We are away from those assassins now."
"Sorry Karl, I forgot to introduce my guest. She is was one of the assassins who fled from them and is now going to help us find them. Aren't you?" He directed the last but at the girl.

[CoraSpia]

"Tracker bundle," Karl told Machina, sighing. "On their way to wherever they're going. We should learn where they're taking them. I take it she's sharing your bed? I don't want to have someone who's willing to kill me in mine. Really, their are ways of finding a girlfriend, but that's the weirdest one I've seen." they are."

[Jaladristan]

Zuri was a little confused. One moment she was just talking to Austin in some hangar, and in the next moment there was a huge fight going on. “Uhm... should we help them?” she asked Austin. The attackers seemed to be outnumbered and the other students didn't look like they needed much help. But she also did not want the reputation of someone who just watched when everyone was fighting. So she drew her sabres and made it look like she was about to jump into the fray.

Austin pulled her back, he didn't need any rivals. That was the last thing they needed to do right now.

"Zuri, please don't." he tried to convince her that this was not the right thing to do.

"We don't need enemies here, I think staying out would be best. Getting ourselves into someone else's fight isn't that wise." He pulled her in closer, trying to keep them away from the chaos. Austin didn't want to get angry near her, it would be the first time she ever saw him in his adrenaline state. He'd be uncontrollable, and he didn't want that. Austin knew that if he tried to fight someone, he'd mentally explode and would stop caring for anyone else. It was years of rejection and depression all piled into one emotion.

Zuri let Austin pull her back and she put her swords away. "Yeah, guess you are right." The worried look in his eyes had convinced her. So she stood back while the fight raged on. And as quickly as it had started it ended.

Karl had been busy trying to work out where the enemy dropship was when he noticed Austin and Zuri. Suddenly his calmness was completely gone: he turned around and glared daggers at them.
"Are you two fucking real?" he asked, anger and scorn in his face. "In case you haven't noticed, this fight isn't looking easy...and unless I can find out where these people are coming from, and make something bad happen to it, they're going away to never never land with 2 people we don't want capturing.

Zuri ignored what Hayate said, but when this Karl guy started shouting at her she couldn't stay quiet. "And you really think that adding even more fighters to a already chaotic fight would make things better. Also, if you want to get angry at someon, find the guy who landed this ship here and scream it him." But the guy was already gone so she turned back to Austin. "Looks like we didn't make a lot of friends today." She grabbed his hand. "Lets just go somewhere. Its not like we could help much anyway. And if just one other person shouts at me I'm going to forget myself."

[ButterCatx]

"Tracker bundle," Karl told Machina, sighing. "On their way to wherever they're going. We should learn where they're taking them. I take it she's sharing your bed? I don't want to have someone who's willing to kill me in mine. Really, their are ways of finding a girlfriend, but that's the weirdest one I've seen." they are."

"Not exactly, but she will help us take back the students that they took. I am glad that we are finally testing that bundle, I hope it works as well as we wished." Machina realized just how awkward he made the whole situation by bringing a girl to his room and placing her on his bed. He's not the smartest sometimes.

[CoraSpia]

"I hope she is compliant," Karl told him, smiling. "I mean, we could rig up some torture devices, but reallythat's effort and I can't be arsed with that."

[ButterCatx]

"I hope she is compliant," Karl told him, smiling. "I mean, we could rig up some torture devices, but reallythat's effort and I can't be arsed with that."

"I don't believe that torture will be necessary." Looking over at the now sleeping form of the girl on his bed. "Though I believe there are other less cooperative people who will be needing some of your gadgets."

[Unified Free Lands]

Ice felt the Tempo drug rushing through her body but she resisted the urge it gave her to attack, the urge that gave her a killer instinct. "I'll help you if you guys help me," she stated. "Because of certain... Reasons... I age quicker than others. If you can help me find a way to reverse that, I'll tell you everything I know."

"We have some of the smartest people in the world, I'm sure we can help you with that" What could cause this increased aging? That is a mystery worth solving.

[ButterCatx]

Machina looked over and saw that the girl had fallen asleep. "Karl we should go assist in the interrogation of the captured assassins." She looked almost sweet in her sleep, the assassin completely gone from her face.

[CoraSpia]

"I could bombard them with light and sound," Karl said, starting to enjoy himself as he moved. "While you use a bit of electric shock therapy. Sound good?"

[Rynagria]

"Really, can't we just just get that Nikolai kid to bring him back to life for us? I mean I don't think he's going to last much longer with him bleeding out like this. I mean he got shot several times." Replied Hayate, As she shifted her gaze from the fallen enemy to James, all the while poking it with the hilt of her sword. Still, all she could was smile at her actions, they had pushed back the enemy of course. "Are you sure I can't just stick this into him? Or maybe cut off an appendage or two? I want to see if he'll scream."

Then, Hayate heard Zuri. At the top of her lungs and delivered with a smile, Hayate spoke. "Right, how can we possibly need someone like her? She's among the weakest links in the academy, who on the first day of their relationship, was bedded. Getting to the point, I don't think anybody would like to fight alongside someone so easy."

[ButterCatx]

"I could bombard them with light and sound," Karl said, starting to enjoy himself as he moved. "While you use a bit of electric shock therapy. Sound good?"

"That sounds very fun. Go on ahead without me, I'll meet you there." Machina said as he turned around putting the blanket on top of the sleeping girl. Is it possible that he had feelings for her? No, completely impossible, better go interrogate the other assassins.

[Kractero]

"Ignore her," Nikolai says to Zuri. "She's probably joking."

Nikolai walks out from behind debris and the two lovers, where he was summoning the dead. Somehow, after summoning a massive amount of undead to stop the escaping "Geisha" figure, she escaped, defying all odds and winning a gamble that the best gamblers would have not bet on. Surveying the scene, many of his zombies were killed. Many. The few that were left were sent back to the Underworld. He walks to two figures, one of which he faintly knew as Hayate, playing around on a man's body, who was close to being dead. "You should respect those serving their deathbed, Hayate," Nikolai murmurs as she pokes his innards. "You won't understand until you hear them as you resurrect them, cursing you out."

Marissa blushes as she awkwardly backs off again from James, this time blaming it on needing to see if the news agencies she contacted had responded. He had comforted her again about her insecurity, her uselessness, and her losing Benson. She basically told him all about their rel- *THUMP* -her thinking is interrupted as she runs straight into Karl in the halls.

[CoraSpia]

"You are aware she's probably hear to infiltrate and kill us, right?" Karl asked, praying that Machina would not decide sexytimes were a good idea at the time...mainly because he really didn't want to imagine how that would work. He walked out, and turned back.
"Do you want me to lock the door with you in it?" he asked. "Or shall I let you do it?"

"Oh hello Marissa," he said as he was practically bowled over: he couldn't help but start smiling at her arrival...the smile went a little though when he noticed she was in bad spirits. Probably about Benson.
"I put a tracker on them," he told her. "We'll have them back in no time."

"Yeah, I know that, totally." Machina said super embarrassed."I'm not gonna turn into Austin, come on. I don't even have genitalia." Machina secretly hoped that she was actually good. He locked the door behind himself."Let's begin interrogating, shall we? Would you like to join us Marissa?"
