Blue Water, Blue Sky

[To say Regalis Filia was pretty damn trashed after the latest engagement with the Zentraedi was an understatement. Indeed it was designed first and foremost to protect its pilot, it didn't mean the beating wasn't straining in itself. Peola was sitting on the deck of the Macross with a number of bandages on her, kicking her feet lazily as she looked out to sea. Ever so often she'd glance at her bandages in annoyance and tug at them a little.]

For an annoying big talking Pacifist, that jerk Kaifun knows how to throw a person.

[She gives you a wry smile and waves.]

Do you think we did good enough out there?

[Not too far from the Macross and the Unity Group in town, there was a woman making something of a commotion. She was a tall, brutal looking specimen, numerous scars on her body and face. There was also a distinct air of smugness and a somewhat vicious grin on her face.]



You.

[Her hand snaps out towards you.]

I'm looking for a brat named Peola. I felt and saw her around here... so where is she?

[As she lowers her hand her fingers curl into a fist as bones pop.]

I'm not one for asking twice so you better cough it up.

Comments

[booty_chaser]

Don't say I didn't warn you.

[Ashe turns to the security officers] Close the area in case she tries to escape, remote open her restraints. Wait about a minute and you can come in.

[Unsure, the security officers look at each other. But this woman has expressed an outright intention to kill their coworker, which definitely has them unpleased (guards got to hang together among all these crazy heroes, after all), and Ashe seems to know what she's doing, so...

After a bit, the mystery woman's restraints and cell doors come open. Ashe is simply waiting there for the other to attack, at the other side of the door, frowning. A smart person would probably back down now... but that's ot what's going to happen, is it?]

[not_a_prize]

Heh...

[To which she took a moment to relish being unchained again before a psychotic grin spread across her face. There was a very visible aura of sickly purple wrapping around her body.. mainly her hands as she rushed out of her cell and swung her hands at Ashe in a clawing motion!]

DIE!

[booty_chaser]

[But right now our intruder's no longer fighting an Ashe trying her best to make peace and do no damage. Right now what this woman has in front of her is the most powerful Mega Man since X himself actively pissed off at her.

And so there's a blink, and a momentary hint of a purple and white armor - and by the time the jump rush reaches her, there's a complete lack of Ashe and a conspicuous abundance of whirling shuriken blades spinning in a twister of pain where the Hunter was a second ago.

Siarnaq's shape stands in the corridor to the side, the robotic ninja's creepy red eye looking on.]

[not_a_prize]

What-!?

[Yeah that got several cuts to her body and a whole lot of pain. The ki seemed to slowly be sealing the wounds but not healing them. Not per se. Still, Peola's mother lets out an animalistic snarl as she gets back to her feet with nothing but hatred in her eyes as she locks eyes (eye?) with Ashenaq.]

I have no idea how you did that... but I'm going to make sure to break you to bits so you don't do it again!

[Another charge as she attempts to unleash a thunderous punch at the robo-ninja. The ki in her hand almost screaming before it rushed forward in a way reminescent of the Big-O's Sudden Impact.]

[booty_chaser]

[The robo ninja stands there, watching the intruder run at her. But a moment before the punch connects, suddenly Siarnaq becomes Aeolus, a quick arm swinging at his opponent's wrist to redirect the momentum of the punch upwards with a slashing chop, which sends the ki beam harmlessly upwards - before sidestepping like a lightning bolt and discharging a gust of electrified wind like a concentrated hurricane to send the woman flying away and into the wall at the end of the corridor.

Ashe then becomes Mega Man A again, walking towards the mystery woman]

Are you starting to get it? I'm stronger than you, because I fight for something! I fight for those who can't fight for themselves! That is my story - that is who I am! So you're going to come quietly and not even think of threatening my friends again!

[not_a_prize]

[Beaten down, hair standing on end from the electrification and having the everloving hell beaten out of her, the intruder still manages to force herself to look up at Megaman A and attempt to spit at her. The attempt falls short and merely just stains her own clothing disgustingly with the blood flecked 'projectile'.]

"B...bn'ch...'f... n'nsns..."

[She attempts to get up only to crash into the ground. There's just no getting through to some people is there?]

[booty_chaser]

[Ashe walks until she's a little distance away from the prone woman]

Didn't you say that those who are stronger get to tell those who are weaker what to do? That strength was the only thing you respected? It's less nice when you're on the other side, isn't it?

Well, here's what I'm telling you - don't you dare hurt anyone else or talk to your daughter like that again! Understand?

[not_a_prize]

[She struggles to curse, or glare, or simply do something to convey the sheer hatred and loathing she feels at this moment. The only thing she understands is strength... so it is a bitter pill to swallow when she forces out the word.]

"F'ne..."

[booty_chaser]

[Ashe approaches and grabs the woman to carry her back to her cell]

Good. [She carries her in, and closes the door before sending a ping to the guards outside.]

And by the way, while we're here... you never did tell me your name.

[not_a_prize]

"Serak. Serak Aella."

[She gives Ashe a cold look, shaky hands tightening again.]

"Only five people ever got my name from me. Not even my children know it."

[The way she said children was probably an indicator that very little had improved with her attitude.]

"You better be proud of yourself."

[booty_chaser]

I got way better reasons to be proud of myself than kicking your butt, lady.

I've no idea what the guys in command of this base will want to do with you, but I figure you're going to be in there for a few days before they let you go, so- oh hey guys. [Ashe waves at the incoming security guards] She'll behave. And sorry about the wall.
