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.

[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.
