End or Beginning?
[1a]
[The Glory Stars weren't the only surprise reinforcements during the Sakihama's battle against the Lost Seekers. During the battle the forces there were reinforced by some very unlikely allies who were now wandering around Sakihama's hangar, waiting for a chance to offer their own memories to the Balmarian Artifact. Behind them were a familiar pair of machines that might worry those that encountered them before. In particular a certain derp is caught completely off guard and nearly spits out his drink when he spots those machines casually parked along with the Project Unification machines.] C-ghhfk-ghkkk, what are those doing here!? [To further put him on edge a pair of hands suddenly place themselves over his eyes. He immediately grabs those hands and lifts them from him before pulling the mysterious culprit into an uncomfortable hold. ]
"Ah~ so rough. You must really have missed me...all I wanted to do was to say hello while we were helping you guys get your silly toy ready."
[And lets go as soon as he sees that face.]
"Jen, you could have just said hello normally."
[The other half of the Aegis duo that provided several not so peaceful encounters with the Unity Group approaches with a stern expression on his face. An awkward moment passes as Willis quickly pieces together the situation, given the amount of people who were now at Sakihama and what the reports had said. ]
...I suppose I should thank you for helping out this time...but...
[To his surprise the Aegis Pilot offers a hand as a peace offering.]
"Look, we've all done things we're not proud of but fighting now won't help any of us. I think we all realize that"
[As this happens Jen looks on with a rather curious look on her face, one that Wilis is quick to notice. She seemed anxious to see how this situation would pan out.
Against perhaps his own reservations he grips the opposing hand, giving a small nod. Maybe this was what they needed to do in the first place]
"There, was that so hard? And now that we're all friends again you can attend our wedding after all of this is over."
Huh?
[Before Willis can respond properly Jen flashes an expensive looking ring in his face. Anyone who arrives or notices this scene after everything was said and done with would only find Willis in complete shock.]
[1b]
[Of course Jen and Michael weren't the only members of Aegis hanging around Sakihama. A set of blondes arrive at Sakihama shortly after the previous two leave as they seemed to be on some sort of rotating schedule. Unlike the other two they aren't doing the best job of being inconspicuous, one of them at least. The former head of Aegis's combat forces does not seem to be enjoying being in the drab Sakihama hangar and is currently throwing a fit and arguing to get ahead of the rest of the "garbage" so she could get back to doing actual important things. Not surprisingly, as one of the few people used to dealing with her Willis has been brought in to help deal with the "issue" by her now very embarrassed pupil.]
"I apologize for forcing you to deal with this...you know what happens when she's forced to wait in queues. Sometimes I wish she was more mature for her age." [As they make their way to the site of the rampage Lucille seems to stare at Strahlend as she passes by the machine.] "Your machine...it still looks the same after all these years."
You've seen it before our...interesting encounters?
[The girl nods.]
"It's actually the reason why I became a pilot and joined Aegis...you probably don't remember it but a long time ago you saved my life and my family's. It might have been mechanical but I truly believed that the Lord sent down an Angel to save us that day...I wanted to tell you that and thank you for what you did once I met you, but things have been..."
[She pauses knowing how awkward the situation between Willis and Aegis had been up to this point.]
"I feel blessed that things have finally gotten to a point that I was finally able to tell you. Even if it took the Lady's presence to force all of us to stop our fighting."
[Willis does not say a thing in response, maybe it was a bit of embarrassment but the smile on his face said everything. Unfortunately for the both of them this small moment was quickly ruined by the yelling of a certain woman who was now getting in the face of both Project Unity staff and anyone who was trying to prevent her from just walking straight up to the artifact.]
"I don't see why you are still wasting my precious time! You asked for our help so you should make it a priority when I make time to answer your calls for assistance!'
....we really need to do something about her.
[1c]
[Meanwhile, thanks to the influx of civilians flooding into Sakihama there seems to be quite a few faces poking around the area during the week as they take turns providing memories to the Balmarian Artifact. One of them includes a young woman who seems to be checking out random isolated spots deeper into the base. She definitely does not seem to care about following any permissions and intrudes anywhere and everywhere she can. From how often she's adjusting her glasses it seems that she's not used to wearing them for anything other than a 'clever' disguise. ]
Hmmmmm, not here either. Maybe I got the wrong place...
[2] [Sorta Locked/Frontdated]
[With things seemingly settled between himself and Aegis, Willis was once again brooding on one of the rooftops of Sakihama in the middle of the night. There was still left with one things still looming over him even after what happened through the week. Given that Silvius wasn't there he had a feeling he knew exactly where the Aegis CEO was. The thought left a bad feeling at the bottom of his gut. Even if it was easier he didn't like the fact that something so close to him was being handled by someone else, even said someone else was his former boss.
Once again he pulled out the rings he kept so close to him, perhaps hoping that it would help him figure out exactly what he wanted to do now.]

Where are you now...
1a
no subject
"Ah the Gebian General, is it that strange? Old friends should be able to get through any hardships, shouldn't they?"
no subject
What guarantee do I have that this alliance will last?
no subject
"I'm a mercenary, a General out of all people should understand what that entails. The contracts just somehow ended up those ways.
For now though I want to see the Lady stopped as well, if humanity fails now I'll be out of a job. Possibly worse."
no subject
Willis. Are you going to say something, or is your shock permanent?
no subject
[The answer to those questions seem to be yes and yes.]
2
"..."
"Somehow I expected I'd find you in a place like this."
no subject
[Willis turns to face the mysterious stranger. Unlike the last time he saw her this time he was prepared.
The fact that she was talking to him this time however only made it more difficult.]
Leigh...
[He maintained some distance from her, not moving from where he was standing despite how much he had been waiting for this moment.]
no subject
"These are some circumstances we meet in." Leigh moves a few paces forward, hesitating awkwardly.
"You didn't change at all, Willis. Even if the rest of the world did."
no subject
[On the surface at least.]
...Leigh stop.
no subject
"You don't trust me do you. I can't blame you, not after all that happened."
no subject
[Even though he just called her by her name he wasn't sure if he believed it himself. Against his better judgement he still walks up to her, taking a closer look at her face.
Despite the evidence the only thing he could see at the moment was her, he hated that a moment that he could only dream about for so long was right in front of him was surrounded with so much mystery and suspicion.]
And yet...you still chose to protect me back there.
no subject
"Yes. You said I didn't change but that's not true. I don't know what is happening, with me, with everything. I have my hypotheses but I can't be sure. I'm only sure of one thing."
Leigh's face breaks into a light smile.
"I can't stand back. I can't do nothing. I too want to help. And I'd hate to see you get hurt either, so I'll do what I can to prevent that."
no subject
[His head lowers as that smile appears on Leigh's face.
Willis finally comes to a decision and suddenly pulls the girl into his arms before wrapping them around her.]
no subject
"Willis..."
Leigh reciprocates the embrace, her hands and head briefly resting against your body.
"It's been so long. Way too long... we have so much to talk about."
no subject
[Despite saying that it takes him some time before he even considers letting her go.]
no subject
"Alright..."
The hug continues but as it goes on, a blush creeps on Leigh's face.
"It's a little..." She turns her head aside.
no subject
Sorry...
[And finally he lets her go after the last few moments pass by.
A bit later he sits next to Leigh on top of Sakihama after the initial awkward moments were finally dealt with.]
...how much do you remember from...
[A pause, he needs to consider his words carefully.]
before you came back.
no subject
"The last thing I remember..."
Leigh stares up, towards the night sky.
"My final wish was to see you again. I think this is why I was brought back. The nanomachines received a directive, even a faint one like this, and interpreted it as a command. Without anyone to direct them it took a long time... but then they did more than just healing a wounded person, right?"
"I didn't realize at first. The memories weren't there, fleeting and incomplete. Only when I saw you again in person, only then they started to return to me. I started to connect the dots together."
no subject
If that is the case then, your entire body...even your mind they were all replaced by nanomachines then. Even your memories are...
[He didn't want to finish that sentence.]
no subject
"Yes, that's right."
"My original body is... gone. I have my memories but - am I still Leigh? Or just a continuation, a copy..."
no subject
But all of us from Aegis, our bodies have been replaced time after time by our machines. If you're not Leigh I'm not exactly still Willis either.
no subject
"Can this thing go too far, though?"
"No, it's not the time to worry about such things. You're right Willis, I'm the only one who can decide. And we can't change the past so it's time to put it behind, and continue living our lives right now."
"Willis... I'm so sorry for everything that happened."
no subject
no subject
"The Chimaera!"
no subject
[Before she can even respond he gets ready to leap off of the roof into action.]
Until we actually explain things to the others you should just leave this to me.
no subject
[Setsuko looks around, for either security, or appropriate passes on the cleverly disguised woman's person. Neither are to be found.]
I really don't think it's a good idea to be here.
no subject
"Ah I'm sorry, I'm just...looking for someone. It doesn't seem like they're here though."
[The mysterious girl is quick to come up with an excuse.]
"Are you part of the security here?"
no subject
[Setsuko tries to be non-intrusive as she slides between the rest of the base and the intruder.]
Who are you looking for? Maybe we could help you find that person.
no subject
"A...friend of mine but it's fine. I'm sure you're all quite busy at the moment."
[As she spots Setsuko moving to block her path she lets out a small laugh.]
"I promise I'm not up to anything devious..."
no subject
So, umm... how does that friend look like?
1b
...This feeling...it is called 'deja vu', I believe?
no subject
[A clueless Willis greets the Kijin with confusion. Clearly he's never seen anything like this before.]
no subject
Who might these two be?
no subject
Something along those lines.
[As Willis explains this Lucille is trying to and failing at calming Genoveta down.]
"Then this is just a waste of my time, I should not have to wait around for you to be ready for me!"
no subject
[Seta steps forward, looking rather confident for once.]
Pardon me, miss...madam...
I apologize that we were not prepared for you - but it cannot be helped at this time. Many are lending their strength to the artifact, and we must sort them out as they arrive.
There are refreshments in the cafeteria if you would like some in the meantime. Or, if you are that displeased...you would not be blamed for simply leaving.
no subject
[Said Madame pauses for a moment after Seta approaches and speaks. Instead of calming down she...gets angrier ]
"it 'could not be helped'? Really? Maybe if you were all on top of things it wouldn't have gotten to a situation where you had to rush all of this. Whatever fine, I'll leave then if you want me to. That's what you said right? You're completely fine with me leaving."
[Genoveta then practically stomps her way out of the hangar, yelling out several obscenities as she does so.]
"Ah...wait....she really did leave over something like that....I'm sorry, I didn't honestly think she'd be in this bad of a mood. I assure you she's really kind...deep down."
[Lucille seems more than a bit disillusioned but manages to retain some composure.]
no subject
This is typically what I do when I require some rest.
1a
I remember the two of you.
no subject
"You're..."
"Ah, Shu Shirakawa. I'm surprised you're still around."
no subject
You speak on friendly terms. But if you are still hiding the same intentions as the last time we met...
no subject
"Out of anyone here I don't think you're in the worst position to criticize anyone about hidden intentions Professor"
no subject
This is a warning. Just as my actions had consequences, so would yours.
