| >a little blond girl walks towards him in a hoodie and shorts
| "...so what *did* happen?
All i can remember that is of significance is a 'snow'..."
| >Wendy sighs
"We used to be friends you know... or at least I thought we were... You made a promise to me that you would be my teacher... We had a good time... then I caught my head of security trying to drug me with an amenisac. She said you gave it to her and asked her to do it... You admited it to me as well..."
| "that makes no sense.
Why would i do that?"
| "I would like to know as well. You wouldn't tell me. After that you suddenly lost your memory... forgot all about me... I can only assume you did it to yourself"
| "when i woke up there was an empty vial in my hand...hmmm...
...what happened to this head of security then?"
| "I... took care of her..."
| "care to elaborate?
Any Details could be of help."
| "...why?
assuming it was my influence, why punish her?"
| "...why?
assuming it was my influence, why punish her?"
| "She fully knew what she was doing. She made the decision to help you and to try to take what can never be replaced..."
| "...ok...then you said i was your teacher, why choose me?"
| "You were very proficent in programing and we had become close. You offered to do anything for me after you upset me and that was what I picked"
| "and you choose programming.
Heh...funny you kinda remind me of a friend i had. She-"
>his face falls grim
"i remember"
>he looks less distraught for a moment
>then his face falls empty
"...fuck i remember"
>immediately he teleports a 454 revolver and fires it at wendy
>the bullet misses mere centimeters from your ear
>he shot at you
>yet you hear the sound of something reminiscent of a dead body dropping
| >yes that was definitely the sound of a death rattle followed by a sudden drop noise behind you
| "Way too close"
>Wendy sighs and glances behind her.
"...Can you at least tell me why? Thats all I want to know is just why..."
| >>312397
>when you turn around you see a pool of blood
>a dead body uncloaks in the middle of it
"NO TIME TO EXPLAIN WE NEED TO RUN *NOW*"
>he grabs wendy by the arm and runs away
>in the distance you can hear vehicles, dogs, and a mech
"shirshithsithshit"
| "What is going on?"
>Wendy easily keeps pace with him
"Can't you teleport us out of here?"
| >>312407
"cant the nihilist is on the fritz."
>he says while spamming the button on his neck device
"you were being targeted, ill explain the rest later for now lets get out of here"
>two armed individuals intercept your path
"there they are! Get them!"
>they start firing
>cyrus returns
| Returns fire*
| >Wendy quickly pulls one of her guns and starts firing back
"Seems I have more people after me than I thought"
| >the duo dispatch them with ease
>intil a mech makes land fall
"oh shit"
>he jets with wendy in tow
>the mech pursues, all the attention attracting more pursuers
>you loose the mech in the alleys, although the people are searching
| "Where should we go? I could smuggle you into my place but its too far from here. We need to get off the streets, fast"
>Wendy whispers
| "no i got a safehouse in every district.
We should be able to reach it assuming all goes well."
| >The sound of a few blasts pierces the air, a few shouts are silenced as heavy and meaningful footsteps echo in the alley. Stopping once the large black and purple suit of seemingly heavily modified White Knight armor catches the two in it's gaze.
"And I ought to think you two are causing this ruckus?"
>A radio filtered voice crackles from the armor. Part of the armor emitting a faint glow allowing it to be seen.
"Friend, by the way. Not foe."
| >>312495
"As it ought to be. Name's Bunker. I saw this whole commotion going on. Thought I'd stop in and see what was up. Mind telling me why there's all this shit chasing after you two?"
>Bunker shoves a body away down on e of the side alley ways with his foot.
"And I'd like to know your name, considering you know mine."
>He crosses his arms, one of his hands clearly not a hand but rather an industrial piston with a sharpened head. A pile bunker.
| >>312500
"right, well, you just alarmed them of our location with those explosives soo-"
>he taps the device on his neck his neck
"fuckin finally"
>and in an orange flash he teleports away with Wendy
>moments later you hear a voice
"i think i saw them over there"
>you hear the stomps of a mech
| >Bunker sighs as he's left alone again.
"Fucking punks, never wanna talk for more than three seconds."
>He cranks a dial on his gauntlet, fully throttling his jets, turning off his lights and disappearing into the sky.
| >area:[XXXXXX market]time:[XX:XX]
>once the dizziness fades you find yourself inside another back ally
>past it seems to be a market, the sounds of haggling and stall owners advertising their wears echo throughout the ally as you spot the occasional passer by
>a strange scent is in the air, one second its fish only to change to baked goods then perfume then electronic parts and then some unholy mixture of all of them at once
| "bollocks wrong destination."
>he taps the device again to no avail
"dammit its not working."
>he sighs
"welp at least we are off radar.
For now at least."
| "Maybe we should just walk there"
>Wendy sighs
"Let's just stick close incase those guys find us"
| "for the best i suppose"
>as you walk through the market it becomes clear people are oblivious to all the commotion
>primarily because word has not reached the area yet
>some people even try to sell you stuff while passing through
"hey girl want some ice cream!"
"fresh baked goods for sale come get them while they're hot!"
"why dont you two get some crepes"
>etc
>heck cyrus even succumbed to the temptation of crepes
"an appreciated moment of respite"
| >Wendy ends uo getting a crepe herself, having never had one before.
"Seems rather peaceful here... unfortunately we should hurry before we are found"
| >>312960
>as you weave through the bustling market cyrus is constantly trying to warp out spamming the button like a madman
"of all the da-"
>and the duo is whisked away
>area:[downtown safehouse]time:[XX:XX]
"well never mind then"
>you are transported to his safehouse crepe still in hand
"so...i suppose i owe you some answers.."
>he takes a seat
"ask away,full disclosure"
| "Why? Why do that to me? There were plenty of other ways to distence yourself from me. Honestly I would have rather you tried to kill me"
>Wendy takes a bite out of her crepe
| "as i said, you were being targeted.
...Targeted because of me...
Those people think you are someone else..."
>he looks a little depressed for a moment
"hah...when i think of it the resemblance is uncanny...
These people are...powerful... I couldn't have them trying to kill you because they thought yo were someone Else.
So to answer your question, i had to try and erase your memories because it was the safest course of action.
If you forgot me then they would stop hunting you."
| ".. And look where that lead us.."
>he gives a distant laugh
| "That logic makes no sense. If they thought I was someone else they would come for me weither I remembered you or not. I would like to know more about these people trhing to kill me"
| "that is where i am getting to.
They think you are someone i once knew.
...This someone is..*sigh* is dead now.
Due to circumstance i would always be near this girl.
So then you show up, someone who bears an uncanny resemblance to her, with me nearby no less."
>at this point he has some tea
"in their eyes something is up.
A girl that they want and i was close to is dead.
Then all of a sudden a perfect lookalike struts along with me in tow.
Pretty suspicious no?"
| "why cant i just alarm you and beat them together?
You never dealt with these people then."
>he takes a sip
"so i took a...interesting course of action.
If there was one thing i can count on, its that the real one is dead, even they cannot deny that.
So if i cut ties with you, they would realize you are not who they were looking for.or at least delay them long enough to get a plan together
To easy? It isn't.
But from there i could deal with them without you knowing."
| >She sighs
"I don't think you know who your dealing with. I can't die so easily. My body is engineered to survive most injurys. infact most blows that woyld kill someone in one hit are ineffective against me. You should have been honest with me. Who was this girl I look so much like?"
| >>313024
"...an experiment...i..it...forgive me there...there is some painful memories involved..
I..no..me and a handful of others went through hell and back to make sure she didn't get into their hands.
They must think its another trick.
And its not death that should worry you, its the torture.
Even if they realize your not their intended mark,they will definitely torture you for knowing they exist"
| >She shrugs
"That doesn't scare me. I still wish you would have been honest. Erasing your own memories certainly didn't help things. You don't have to talk about anything that is too painful to discuss. I guess we need to figure out whobwe are going to deal with them. They are not going to stop until we do something"
| "ahehe...yeaaaaahhhh the whole erase my memories thing was kinda a last resort.
Anyway i still cant remember all of it but i know i had some over elaborate plan in effect.....
...excuse me"
>he heads over to the safehouse terminal
"nothing...
Save something about a set of wing-oh"
>he sends a message to someone
>he returns to wendy
"for now i need to deal with this, should i warp you back home?"
| "They are after me too. I am not going to just walk away from you. I am still mad about all the damage you caused but... I am not just going to let you get yourself hurt. besides your 'daughter' misses you and I couldn't face her if you got hurt"
| "daughter?whhhaaat?
Im sorry i dont recall. Am i missing something?"
| "Yeah. you programed my androids for me and one of them has a.. unique personality. She basically considers you her dad. Her name is Callie"
| "...please tell me your joking"
| "I am not. I am being serious"
>She takes a few more bites of her crepe
| "...oh god roseloch is going to kill me for that..."
>he takes a sip of tea
| >but before you can take a sip
>TA da a heroine emerges along with a few others(specifically by teleporting)
"LECHANCE YOU USELESS FUUUUUUUUUUUUK"
>and the intrepid catgirl bitchslaps him
"Felicia why"
"cuz why not dom"
"c-captain are you ok?!!?"
>the cold girl trys to help him up while the other two get into a conversation about randomly bitchslaping people
| >but before you can take a sip
>TA da a heroine emerges along with a few others(specifically by teleporting)

"Felicia why"
"cuz why not dom"
"c-captain are you ok?!!?"
>the cold girl trys to help him up while the other two get into a conversation about randomly bitchslaping people
| >Wendy simply sighs
"I am not particularly fond of my conversations being interupted"
| >>313118
"wai-ohmygodcaptainFeliciawhatdidyoudoithinkhesdeadwhyyyyyydomdosomethingpleasehemightbedead."
>the man with the earcuff slaps himself in the face
"see Felicia i told you that was a bad idea"
>sadly the catgirl is also panicking
"lechance? This is just a joke right? Please..lechane?
OHGODITHINKIKILLEDHIMOHGISOHGODOHODF"
| >Wendy looks at the group annoyed
"I woukd know if you killed him. Now calm down please. He is simply unconcious"
>She easily picks him up
"Let's just get him to a bed. he should sleep it off. I am highly annoyed at your immature behavior"
| "who are you?"
>they all say at once
| >>313129
"My name is Wendy Darling, Commander of Wraith. It is nice to meet you but I think we should get Cyrus situated before we talk further. He isn't very heavy but it is still awkward to hold someone twice my size"
| Catgirl"ok thank god hes not dead"
Dom"there is something saddening about watching the shadow of paris being carried by a little girl"
Loch"c-captain?!!?"
>dom rest him on a bed
| Yes Loch
| "Why am I always getting dragged into things"
>Wendy sighs
"Now can anyone tell me what exactly is going on?"
| Dom:"i donno we get a message that the old shadow over there needs help to we were deployed here."
Loch:"the captain could answer"
Catgirl:"roseloch hes asleep"
Dom:"and who is responsible for that Felicia?"
Catgirl:"s-shut up dom"
| "Well I guess we are stuck here waiting until he gets up"
>Wendy sighs
| >he wakes up
>he alsp draws his guns and fires blindly
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH"
>all of the bullets miss
"w-wha?wus goin on?"
| "Catgirl her slapped you so hard you feel unconcious. You feeling okay? You could have hurt someone"
>Wendy walks over to check on him
| "catgirl?"
>he looks over
"oh.
Quite the reunion Felicia."
| Catgirl:"ahehe...haiiii..."
>she looks embarrassed
| "Do you wanna explain what is going on?"
>Wendy looked at him curiously
| "old friends here to help.
Although the response time was rather quick."
(was not expected)
| "Well can you eaplain more about these people trying to kill us? You haven't exactly said who they are"
| "right before i *was RUDELY DEATHSLAPED* "
>he looks at Felicia
"i was about to say.
I cant say what their name is after all these years but they are after one thing, knowledge.
Effectively a corp of sorts, although what said corp was, we were never able to identify, so take from that what you will"
>tea sip
"all we need to do is kill the head of operations in the area and the rest should fall apart from there"
| "Sounds like a plan. Any idea where he is or how to find him?"
| "hmm bait.
Those guys are pretty much ghosts otherwise.
Get some bait, set up an ambush.
Cillia didnt i also call for ten and plasma?
Where are they?"
| Loch:"er um w-well captain, tenshi got lost and plasma is still waiting for the relay to cool down."
Dom:"good enough"
>>313207
(nobody ever suspects that guy cry mwegegegegeg)
| (ok balls, can we finish this later?
I have to think out the ambush)
| (alright if your still up for it, i am pretty sure i came up with something satisfactory)
| (I am down -W
| "you three should prep a venue.
I still need to talk with wendy"
| >they promptly leave
| "...so...where is snow now?"
| "oooooooooohhhhhh you should probably forgive her."
| >>314360
>Wendy crossed her arms
"I still haven't forgiven you. Why shoukd I forgive her for going against my back to tamper with my memories. She was supposed to be the one thing between me and harm"
| >from tgaf he gets an idea, a dangerous idea, a perfect idea
"alright to be honest i could care less if you hate me, if anything when this is all over id rather you stay away.
But snow was only trying to help.
I asked her to do that for a reason, they were after you, they wanted to kill you, i told her my plan, all of it.
I say if you dont remembere me, it Will be easier to deal with them.
You wouldn't even need to worry."
| "in the end she was doing just that.
Protect you.
Hate me all you want, just be Human and forgive her"
| "She would have said something once I found out and punished her. Why are you insisting on defending this girl? Also I don't hate you though I am confused why you suddenly grew to hate me"
| "i swore her to secrecy. If they find out you were aware of them it would make things more complicated then optimal.
And who said i hated you? Still dont."
| "Yet you want nothing to do with me. I don't think you understand how severe her punishment was"
| "then tell me."
>sip of tea.MPX
| "I torchered her for about a week. I may have went abit over board as I ended up breaking her arm"
| "why would you do that?"
>he is oddly calm
>it would actually be kinda unsettling how calm he is
| "She tried to drug me with the one thing I can't stand. She knew this and yet still agreed to help you. I can't just let such such blatent betrayal go unpunished. Next time it could be something deadly. How am I supposed to trust someone who would so easily turn against me?"
| "all the more reason to avoid you."
>he sighs
"welp got any ideas for an ambush?"
| >>314769
"Your making no sense"
>Wendy sighs.
"Well I am sure they are combing the area we were at. I coukd just stroll in there and lead them into a trap"
| >>315035
"side effect of training Fraulein, i never make sense"
>tea sip
"alright...believable enough so long as we make it look like you blundered into a patrol...
Still need to get the head to be there though..."
| >>315041
>That seems difficult... I think ot would be easier.ro be taken to the head then to draw them out. I could allow myself to be captured and you guys could follow them"
| "sure your ok with it?
Not going to lie, if we get there even a millisecond late, you will be in a lot of pain...and drugs...and...experience hallucinations of loved ones dying...and more pain.."
>he shudders
| >>315083
"This won't end unless a great risk is taken. Out of the two of us, I woukd be the mentally stronger one. Plus they can't get any information out of me because I simply don't know. It's less of a risk for me then it wouod be for you. Just make sure you get me out of there. Once they figure out I am not who they think I am we won't have much time"
| >>315096
>adjust non existent bowtie
"fh-hirst of all">he sips tea
"gah better, anyways, *see* my being vague helps...kinda.
Take this"
>he gives wendy a little chip thing
>its roughly one fourth the size of a tooth
"little tracker, no need for surgery or anything, just put it on a tooth and it will stick until you take it off"
| "Good because my body doesn't take kindly to implants. My body would destroy it.
>Wendy proceeds to put the tracker in her mouth.
"It took several years for them to find a material sturdy enough for my neuro implants. I almost died the forst time they tried it"
| "ok now we just need a place to lure them...dammit where is my scout when you need her"
>but speak of the devil and she shall appear
"lot found, XXXXX crossing"
"alright then tell the others"
>she heads off
"guess we got a plan"
| "alright"
>he walks outside
>in the distance you can hear your pursuers combing the area
| "alright"
>he walks outside
>in the distance you can hear your pursuers combing the area
| >Wendy follows and walks towards the sound of pursuers
| >you find a group in a nearby forward base
| >>315512
>Wendy pretends to try and sneak past them, being clumsy on purpose but with enough finesse that it is believable
| >Wendy attempts to escapes but 'trips'
| >she falls flat on her face
| "ha nice try girly"
>they then attempt to force you on a VTOL
| >Wendy 'resists'
"Let me go!"
| >your 'demands' fall upon deaf ears as you are whisked into the vehicle
>some of them keep guard and one attempts to handcuff you
| >>315543
>you eventually arrive and meet the leader
>a man, with a slightly more muscular then average build
"after all these years we finally found you.
They tell me you failed to sneak past us, a foolish move, doing so without your protectors."
>your handcuffs look pretty pathetic, clearly made for someone weaker
>he looks to his men
"hurry, we're shipping off before the custodians find us"
| >>315553
>Wendy simply glared at him, taking note of her surroundings and the movements of the guards
| >>315559
>there is not a large sum of guards, and what little there is, seem to have a special type of helmet on
>you are set in another camp, a bit away from the heart of downtown, it seems to have been established recently
>there is plenty of exits
>some of the men are disturbed by the stare
| >Wendy simply waits and observes, waiting for Cyrus and his crew to show
| >>315567
>in your hoodie pocket you suddenly feel a gun as your cuffs are unlocked
>a small bug flies out of the lock
>ut floats towards a rooftop where guess who is waiting for your signal
