It was a pretty peaceful day in the big city, all things considered. A huge themed festival was going on throughout the place. A parade through the center of the city, themed stalls and temporary attractions set up else-where, costumes and fun of all kinds seen here and there. Meanwhile Raina had been tasked with covering the event for the news. This wasn't at all like the high danger high action stories she loved, but it was still okay. There was no rush to finish the job, so she had actually made a sort of "Mini vacation" of it. After all, with the big story coming up, she wasn't sure how long it'd be before she got another break like this.
Regardless, she was still in her regular attire, watching as the crowds of people walked about, she herself snacking on some cotton candy while taking a seat at a park bench. This park was a little less themed, but still featured a few decorations of it's own. Trees lined with little "pirate" ornaments, skull and crossbones flags, and of course the people walking through in their costumes. It was kind of amusing. She gave a sigh to herself. Taking a break like this once in a while wasn't so bad. Her goal wasn't going to slip between her fingers, after all. And her parents would probably worry if she overworked herself.
Regardless, she let all those thoughts slip by as she reclined on the bench, her hands propped behind her head and her eyes closed. She gave a content sigh. ... Though also double checked that her camera bag was still right next to her. City thieves didn't stop just because of events, after all, and she was no idiot to fall for something like that. Meanwhile passerby had...Interesting conversations. One woman who walked by had a vanishing hairline and kept talking about how her breasts and legs were amazing. Literally every sentence. Some others were talking about that new game console; "Toolie U", though she wasn't much of a gamer, and gaming journalism was pretty garbage in her experience.
She usually wasn't one to eavesdrop, but she had nobody to talk to. Besides, not like any of it was newsworthy anyway. Though...She did pick up on one conversation that was turning interesting...
"Are our plans going well?" Asked a man in costume, sitting next to one not in costume, both weren't making eye contact and neither seemed to notice Raina, despite the bench being nearby from theirs. "Yes. It won't be long before our plans come to fruition. At this rate our project will be unstoppable." responds the one without costume. The costumed man seems pleased by this, and nods. They subtly exchange matching bags and stand. From there, the two part ways. Raina waits for them to get a good distance away, and with a twinkle in her eye pulls the Polaroid 9000k from it's bag! "Looks like I've got a scoop."

The President of Capsule Corp had decided to get out of the headquarters for awhile and take a trip to one of the other cities! The Android spent most of her time in the same place, so it was good to spend a little time away from what she was used to... That being said... It wasn't the easiest thing, turns out there was a lot of paperwork involved. Even with how fast she could work, it took a little bit to get it all sorted out, but at least she was here now. That was all that mattered; even if she had company.
Several men in suits. From what she had heard, they were well trained and equipped... Zeni found it a bit silly that she would need protection, but allowing them to come with was the only way she'd get the opportunity to travel anywhere. At least she could still decide what she wanted to do and where she wanted to go. It just meant that she'd have a group trailing her all the while... As for why Zeni had chosen this city in particular? She heard about this 'Pirate Parade' they they ended up doing every so often.
It sounded exciting! The festivities were beyond what the Android had anticipated, although... That being said... Not everyone seemed to be in the right spirit. Such as a woman with a tail and a receding hairline that ended up bumping into the President. "Hey! Don't just walk into my huge breasts!", she would protest. Zeni couldn't help but arch a brow and frown as she looked the woman over... They were wearing some sort of armor, but... Whatever appeal they believed they had, she certainly didn't see it. Eventually, Zeni spoke not an apology, but... "Ew.", escaped her mouth instead.
The woman seemed completely outraged and began to storm off. "I'm sexy! You're wrong and you know it!!", she shouted before soon fading off into the crowd yelling something about 'long toned legs'. The Android merely shook her head. That was... Weird, to say the least. But it wasn't going to ruin the day, at least! Zeni ended up running into another woman, this one dressed up in a Pirate garb. "Arrrrr you here for the parade?", she asked. The President thought it over for a moment, wondering why she put so much emphasis on 'are'... But then it hit her.
"Oh! Why, that's clever! Yes, I am.", the Android responded with a smile. "Heheh. I thought so! Say... Aren't you the President of Capsule Corp?", the costumed woman inquired. The Android gives a nod in response. "I see you've heard of me! ...Although I suppose my friends don't exactly leave much room for error.", the President glanced back at the group... Yeah, still trailing her as always. "They look kinda scary... But I guess that's the point. Well, I hope that you enjoy the parade!", she'd offer as an act of kindness anyway. "Thank you!", the Android replied.
After that... The Android comes across a scene involving a girl with pointy ears and a camera.... She had a certain twinkle in her eyes, and it piqued the President's curiosity. Zeni made her way over at a calm pace. "Salutations~! Say, it looks like you're all set to do something fun. Mind if I tag along?", the President asked. Sure, she could have just followed regardless, but why not be polite and try to make a new friend? That was another reason why she set out to another city and all! The people in the headquarters were nice, but...
Still. Plus if this girl was going to be doing something dangerous, maybe Zeni could help! She'd wager that her bodyguards could, too... But honestly they might get in the way too. They weren't exactly conspicuous. Well, one step at a time! She'd just have to hear what Mephalia would have to say.

Raina is about to run off after the man without the costume, but she's stopped by a rather small girl surrounded by guards. She asks to come along. Raina found it a little odd, but...What the hell? She could use company for once. "Eh? Well, sure. Just try not to make it too obvious, okay? There are some people who...Err, don't appreciate fun, you get me? We gotta follow after them!" She hurries along with her camera at the ready, making sure that girl is able to follow. .. "Salutations"? Just who was she? Definitely not the kind of person Raina was used to seeing, and that's coming from a child of unholy creatures.
Regardless, she had more pressing matters than to worry about her new tag-along. She hurried further, figuring Zeni was good enough to keep up. Raina was starting to think she lost the man...But she finally spotted him again! He was slipping into an alley. Raina runs into the apartment building next to the alley, running up the flights of stairs up to the roof. She had to hurry to her vantage point or he might escape! Finally after climbing all the way up, slipping between and around people, she looks over the edge of the roof. He's already turning into another alley...She looks over to the edge of the roof in that direction. AND RUNS INTO A LEAP! She glides across to the next rooftop, hurrying over to the edge! He's not getting away that easily!
She hurries a bit ahead of him to get a front shot of him, she crouches down a bit and lines her camera up. "Gotcha..." With a click, she's gotten herself a snapshot of the man's face. She goes back to just watching his movements for now...Keeping her eye on him. Though much to her dismay, he exits out of the alley into a busy market area. She leaps down off of the roof into the back of a truck! The landing's a bit unsteady, but she manages to recover. She hops off and hurries after him! She's right behind him and he has no idea! She knows she's about to tail him all the way! .. But then several groups of people walk between him and her, and she loses sight of him! She looks around for the guy, he's gotta be here somewhere! But she fails to catch even a glimpse of him. She grits her teeth a bit. "Damn..." She gives a huff and calms herself a bit, looking around at the market stalls and various attractions. At the very least, they did well to calm her down. But she had a lot of questions that needed answers.
... She remembers her companion who decided to tag along, looking around behind her for the strange red-haired girl. It hadn't really occurred to her at the time that her new ally might not want to jump off of roofs, or run up a ton of staircases. Though she also didn't know the girl's capabilities. For all she knew, this could have been that little redhead's forte.
Some people who don't appreciate fun... Like criminals? That was what crossed the Android's mind, but the President merely nodded eagerly. "No need to worry, I'm combat ready!", she would reply. So they were gonna follow these people? That was interesting news, the Android would follow the camera toting girl's lead. Eventually, the Android was able to put two and two together on just who it was that Mephalia was tracking... A little bonus as well, the bodyguards couldn't seem to keep up with the quickened pace that the duo had. It shouldn't be any issue, if she got into trouble, she could just call them.
As they're ascending the apartment complex, Zeni couldn't help but wonder if this was the first pursuit that Mephalia had ever done or not... True, there was a key to subtlety, and if their target was heading through alleys, it would be more than a little suspicious if they took the same path as he did. Regardless, they would eventually reach the roof and the camera toting girl would simply break off into a sprint and leap towards the next roof, then gliding... Well, Zeni had something like that too! She'd hop off the building and then her rocket thrusters would kick in.
It was certainly one way to fly! Having boosters attached to her feet, she'd keep pace with Mephalia and, in some cases even manage to outpace her as the Android tried to keep track of the person in question. Eventually their pursuit brings them back down to street level. The camera toting girl was definitely pretty good at keeping track of her target... Now the pair was right behind him. Still, it wasn't lost on Zeni that this street was getting pretty packed. They could easily lose track of him, so before that would happen...
The Android reached into one of her pockets and then tossed a small object towards him. The tiny, almost pebble like object attaches to his clothing, and he seems none the wiser for it. Just in time, too! As soon after he's lost in the crowd, leaving Mephalia feel a little frustrated about the ordeal. Zeni merely smiles and taps her on the shoulder. "Worry not, friend! I managed to put a tracking device on him.", she explained. Then she'd pull back one of the sleeves on her arms, revealing a rather sophisticated looking wrist device.
The Android presses a few buttons and then a screen flickers to life, showing an overhead view of the city, as well as the man's location. "Quite a few advantages to being the President of Capsule Corp, wouldn't you say? With this we can track his movement all the way to wherever he's going, and we can do it from a safe distance!", the Android added with a beaming smile. "So, shall we continue our pursuit, friend?", she asked. Perhaps coming off a little eager with the whole 'friend' thing, but the Android seemed harmless enough. And genuinely thought that they were friends now.
This was all rather exciting! To her, this was like one of those spy movies she had seen. They were tracking down some sort of criminal organization! A crime fighting duo! They could make a pretty good team like this. Hmm, maybe that was a thought she should share! "You know, I've been thinking... We could form a crime fighting duo! It seems like we both have a knack for this.", she'd state. The President having the most fun she'd had in a very long time. That's not to say she was getting bored of her job!
No, she still had a lot she intended to do as the President of Capsule Corporation, but... This was a fun little diversion, too. And if they really did put a stop to bad people, then that was all the better! ...True, she had only just met Mephalia. But she seemed a trustworthy sort! Maybe Zeni was too trusting to really say that and be taken seriously. But it didn't matter! As far as the Android was concerned, right now she could trust Mephalia and that was all that mattered. After all, why go through all of this effort just to take a picture if something bad was intended?
It didn't add up, and further assured the girl that she was making the right choice here.

Commander Koma had wanted them to get better along in terms of relationships with the Earthlings. Frankly she had been more than excited to find out more about her mother’s culture. Though maybe today hadn’t been the best day to choose to do that. It seemed like some kind of festival was going on ad frankly she had no idea what any of it meant. What were these strange things called pirates? They look so primal compared to the weapons used nowadays by most militaries. Her mother’s culture was so weird, but yet she still couldn’t shake this excitement of being on the planet her mother had been born on.
Little did she know of how strange of site her get up actually was, what most would confuse for a Zoanthrope in some kind of battle armor. Her fox like tail sticking out from behind her as her hair and ears the blackness of a saiyan’s hair. She liked not being pointed at her..well not nearly pointed at as much as back at the academy. If what Commander Koma had told her, maybe she would be able to become stronger as well. Who knows, maybe she could become a super saiyan as well if her commander had managed it. Yet..what would happen to her because of it? She was like what the boy had said before, a freak. What if she couldn’t reach such a level of strength? What if she was stuck to be the weakest of her squad?
No..Commander Koma had told her to stop thinking like that. She found it hard to believe that her commander even though she had only known them for a short time, had grown to be a driving force for her to want to get stronger. He really was a good leader. She truly believed that with her heart. After all he had been the first one to offer such an offer to her. To help her train. That was the first time anyone had ever been so nice to her. Though she did hope that it wouldn’t be the very last either…
It was right then that she decided she had wanted to avoid all this attention. Backing up slowly into the alley, she backed up right into two men. Slowly she turned to face them, not knowing that these two had been running. From what she never knew. ”Oh.. I’m sorry..I..I was just backing up. I didn’t see you there….um..I will just leave now.” She would begin to say as she would slowly back up to the wall. Feeling that there was nowhere for her to go She really did not want to fight here, all she knew was some basic movements from the academy...How was she going to get out of this without a fight? Something scary did trigger in her though..something of her saiyan blood. She..almost wanted to have a fight..control..she just needed to keep control..
Mephalia blinks in surprise. Not only did that girl manage to keep up, she pegged their prey with a tracking device as well. Just who really was this girl? Where'd she get that kind of equipment? What was with the bodyguards? And better yet...Why couldn't Raina detect any life energy from her? It was really starting to get odd. She almost wanted to ask, but at the same time, saw no reason to pry, maybe it was all explainable, maybe it was just coincidence. Whatever the case, she soon got an explaination without having long to mull it over. "Capsule Corp? You're the president? Well, do you recognize...This maybe?" She holds out her camera for inspection, it was once a regular, perhaps below average device. But with a few ties and some favors, she managed to get it modified by some of Capsule Corp's brightest. She wondered if that project was widely known or not, come to think of it.
...She was asked if she wanted to continue pursuit, and while her mind's answer was definitely yes, she still wanted to talk all of this out first. "Okay, explain why I can't feel life coming from you?" It was right there, but she just couldn't piece together what it was that made her senses wholly not work around this girl. Why exactly? Was she just really good at hiding it? Could it be the masses of people blocking it out, or maybe...Well, that was a crazy idea of hers, but she'd have to wait for confirmation, she supposed. Still, the girl had asked if Raina wanted to start a duo of sorts to "fight crime". She chuckled a little, but gave a nod, reaching out for a handshake. "My name's Mephalia Raina Rolha. But you can just call me Raina. It's easier. ... Uh, no relation to hercule City's underground demon clan."
Of course, soon after their exchange of pleasantries, Raina quickly pegged onto a really odd energy signature. One she'd never sensed before. Now her knowledge of aliens is pretty limited, but even still, it was a new energy. She heads back over to the alleyway to figure out just what that energy is, motioning for Zeni to follow along if she so wished. She peaked around the corner to spy what was there and rather quickly spotted two men and a girl, the girl backed up to the wall apologizing to them. The men were pretty weak...or so she assumed. Between her and that president gal, they could take it! She steps out into view. "What's going on back here? Don't make me rough someone up!" With that statement, her stares were clearly more focused on the men rather than this girl who seemed...Pretty afraid. No way was she gonna let somebody start trouble in her town!
But then, she also wasn't a "fighter of justice", and that guy could be getting away if she waits too much longer. Just why was she doing something like this? It honestly perplexed her, maybe she just couldn't stand letting this go.
Mephalia seemed a little surprised to learn that it was the President of Capsule Corp that she was running around with. The Android didn't really think it was that big of a deal, but soon discarded such thoughts once she was asked about the camera. "Ah, may I?", she'd ask if she could hold the camera. But regardless of being given permission or not, she would begin to closely inspect it. Either in her own hands, or Mephalia's hands. "Hmm... Looks like a standard model camera at first glance. But I can see quite a few modifications to it.", she'd observe.
The President's irises then seemed to take on a pattern, that of a computer grid of sorts. She looked with such intensity at the camera... Eventually, however, she returned to normal! "Well, it looks fairly custom made by this point, but I can definitely see where Capsule Corporation might have helped work on this. I've not heard of many cameras outfitted to have Ki channeled through them, that's quite the little item you've made there!", the President would state with a smile. If she had been given permission to hold it earlier, now would be the time when she would return it to Mephalia.
Then however, their conversation turned towards how the Reporter couldn't sense anything out of Zeni. "Oh, well that's easy to explain. I'm an Android! A very sophisticated model, from what I'm told. One of the few 'machines' ever created to have as much emotion and feeling as much as any living person! It got to such a point that it actually stirred up a few ah... Legal issues. Suffice to say, I'm no longer considered a mere automaton, but a living person.", she explained in a tone of voice that implied it either didn't bother her...
Or perhaps she just didn't fully understand it. Either way, she appeared happy. After that was out of the way, Mephalia introduced herself. Zeni would accept the handshake. "A pleasure to meet you, Raina! I'm simply referred to as 'Zeni'. Easy to remember, right?", that being said... There was an underground Demon Clan? That was news to the President. But then again, that should come as no surprise given that she hadn't really seen much of the world... She was still quite new to all of this! But this Reporter seemed a very trustworthy sort, so Zeni just took her word for it.
There seemed to be some sort of commotion in a nearby alley. It immediately caught Raina's attention, and the Android's soon after. She would follow as the Reporter had chosen to investigate what was going on. Seems there were two men that were intimidating some young looking girl. The President however didn't hesitate and would walk right up to the two. "Excuse me, what seems to be the problem here?", she would ask. One of the men arched a brow. "I don't see how that's any of your business. Maybe you should run back on home."
He'd state. "Oh, I think it is very much my business, sir.", she'd reply. As her attention was on one of them however... The other took a swing at Zeni, landing a punch on the side of her face... Which sounded like he had just bashed his fist against a solid metal wall. "Augghh!!", he'd drop onto his knees, clutching his fist with his other hand. "DAMN THAT HURT!", he'd shout again. Zeni now turned her attention to him, concerned and... Seemingly unaware of what just transpired. "Oh, are you okay? You really should be more careful.", she'd express concern for the now injured thug.
"The hell...", the remaining goon would let out at all of this transpiring right in front of him. "Now, just hold on. I think I have something that might be able to help, now... Where did I put it...", Zeni would begin to search through her things... The man behind her would brandish a steel pipe and just as he got ready to swing... "Oh, now I remember!", she'd crouch down and tinker around with one of the compartments on her leg. The steel pipe that WAS headed right for her instead collided with the man who hurt his fist.
"AUGH.", he'd collapse onto the ground. "WHY.", Zeni looked up and noticed that he seemed to be even more hurt now. "Oh... I told you to be more careful!", the still standing man began to loom over her, but then the Android stood up and... Boom! He got smacked right in the chin by her head made entirely out of steel. Zeni was left feeling a little confused as both men seemingly managed to hurt themselves from her perspective. "...Um. What odd people.", she'd make another observation. Well, she'd turn her attention to the frightened girl now.
"Oh! In all of the confusion, I forgot to ask. Are you alright?", the two thugs on the ground seemed like they would be fine... A little banged up, sure. Maybe damaged pride at being taken out by someone that wasn't even fighting, but they would live. "I don't know why they had you so scared. Frankly, they seemed more concern with hurting themselves... I'm not even sure how they managed it.", the President added. Zeni would then turn her gaze towards Mephalia. "What do you think we should do with them? It doesn't seem like they're going to start trouble for awhile."
She'd then turn her focus to the two men on the ground... Yeah. Chances are they weren't going to try and pick a fight with any 'unsuspecting girls' for quite awhile. Could this in a sense be karma? The Android wasn't even trying to hurt them, after all... But another way to look at it is that no one died? Nothing was stolen either. Looking at it like that, it was a pretty good day. Although there was still their overall objective to take care of, in the case of the President and the Reporter.

Isis was becoming more and more confused at both of the thugs approached her. It seemed she wasn’t going to get out of this one without a fight..she still was but a private, but even than she could fight too..No..she didn’t want to fight. She wished she could fly like the others, but until she could train with her squad leader then she couldn’t help with that. She only had one last option that she could do. It wasn’t something she was proud of, but she could run. Run..run like always..Run from everything, that was what she always did after all. What else was she really supposed to do after all?
That was when the unexpected happen, some kind of photographer and a ginger girl jumped down. That was when she watched the ginger girl attack sort of the two grown men. All the while she couldn’t help but be wondering just what would any sane person do in this kind of situation. Well..for one they would run..which is exactly what she did. Like any sane person would actually do in this kind of situation. She ran with all of her speed placed into her body. She wasn’t going to be caught in some kind of crime scene here. All she had done was stand and backed up from such. Though more and more now she was wishing for Commander Koma to teach her to fly. In fact she was very yearning to say she was wanting to run towards the outpost.
Screw running the risk of getting hurt here. She noticed she was getting farther and farther out. Hopefully she had managed to out run them while they were distracted with those two back there. Only once she had stopped to catch her breath did she notice another man running. At least running right into her! As they collided and fell over each other, she had noticed that she was laying over him almost looking like she had caught the man. She was completely unaware that this was the same man those two had originally been chasing. How would she have known after all. ”Oww..y..you really need to watch wh..where you're going s..sir.” She would say as she would place a hand over her head, rubbing the spot that seemed a bit sore. Only now did a thought occurs to her as she still lied on top of the man. ”W..What were you r..running from?” She would ask quite nervously once more.
"W-Wait! Hold up!" Raina called out as Isis fled from the encounter. She had no idea what was running through that girl's head, other than fear naturally. Though Raina knew chasing her wouldn't be good. They might just have to hope she finds her way without those two calming her down...Raina shook her head. "Think we should go after that girl? Er...Maybe we should tie those two up first. Don't want them getting away." Raina waited up with Zeni, making sure those two were restrained and that someone was coming to arrest them. Once that was said and done, she turned to Zeni once more.
"I dunno what's up with that girl, but we should probably chase after our target and worry about her later. She can probably handle herself. Right?" Raina dusts her hands off and starts to follow along with Zeni's tracking device! With luck they'd catch him before much longer! Raina was counting on it, in fact. She shrugged her shoulder and took in the sights as Zeni led them right towards the culprit! There was a lot to see after all. If the guy wasn't escaping easily, chances are they could try to enjoy things a little.
...Meanwhile things weren't going as smoothly for the man they were chasing. Some girl had just run into him out of the blue! He tried to clutch the bag he was carrying as they fell, but once they hit the ground, it flew out of his grasp, dropping to the concrete and popping open. Documents and blueprints all spilled out from within, making quite a mess. He growls a bit, gritting his teeth. "Look what you did! Why are you so clumsy?! G...Get off of me!" He crawls out from under her, standing and quickly gathering his things, he doesn't even stop to answer her. He just gives a whistle to no one in particular.
"I was saving this ambush for the people coming after me...But you deserve it! Get her, men!" Several thugs appear from behind hiding places! They had been set up in advance, seems as though whoever it was meant for would have been tricked...But now Isis would find herself in the midst of at least 5 thugs, including the man she bumped into, who pulled out a chain! "Gonna beatcha!!" They all closed in, though it seemed rather ruthless for 5 people to attack one lone girl, these men showed no remorse for what they were about to do. Isis may very well have to fight now, and with Raina and Zeni still trying to catch up, she'd have to do so alone for several minutes! unfortunately for Raina, she didn't have the foresight to realize these two got wrapped up together and were now facing off...Worse, she was walking along at a calm pace! Each thug carried a weapon of their own, and it seemed hopeless for Isis to avoid fighting...There was no doubt she could probably handle herself for a time, but if they got the upper hand, things could turn bad fast!
"Well, I suppose we can tie them up...", the Android responded. She'd extend her palms outwards to the two lying on the ground, and then a wire would shoot out from a shift of machinery on her wrists. Effectively tying the two up, after that the pair took the time to notify the authorities. Well, that took care of those two criminals... She'd glance over to Mephalia as the reporter seemed to share concerns about the fact that the girl they were trying to help just ran off all by herself. "Oh, I hope she's alright...", the President would add.
Well in the end, they did all they could. It was only going to cause problems to go chasing after someone that wanted to be left alone, right? Zeni would give a nod in response to Mephalia's next words, and opened up the console which tracked their target once more. Hmm... Seems like he wasn't too far from their current location, actually. "Well, looks like he's off in this direction. Let's see if we can get a visual sighting on him.", the Android said calmly, and then began to lead the way. She had to be mindful of the crowds around them.
"It's curious... He seems to be staying in just one location. Maybe we should hurry?", she asked. Raina seemed more occupied with the setting around them, however... Well it was an event for fun, but that also provided the perfect cover. What better time to pull off something against the law except when people least expected it? Sure, there was security, but there was just so much to manage that it was impossible to guarantee a perfect watch over everything. It was hard enough when there wasn't a massive event like this going on, it'd be even worse now.
"At first it didn't really make sense that they would be trying to do something underhanded with all of these people around... But it kinda makes sense, doesn't it? This provides a lot of cover.", she would observe. Just how easy it would be to get lost in a crowd like this was rather staggering. Hiding in plain sight was one of the best ways to go unnoticed, and this just made it that much more effective. If not for the fact that she attached the tracking device to the man before they lost track of him... They might not have any leads.
Still, a bit of time passes as Zeni seems entirely focused on tracking down the guy that they put so much effort in chasing after. Soon enough the pair would find themselves not very far from Isis's location, along with that of the five goons. "Hey... It looks like something is going on again. We should probably investigate right away.", Zeni would say after seeing the commotion going on ahead, even from this distance it was clear to see that something was off. Furthermore, the screen showed that they were more or less right on top of the tracking signal.
"But we might need to be careful not to give ourselves away, too... I'll follow your lead on this one.", she finished. So that was that, Mephalia could make the call on whether or not they should just go straight in to deal with this matter or not. Which unfortunately meant a bit of bad luck for Isis, who would have to wait that much longer before help would show up. But it's not like the Android could have known that anyone was in danger, either. Her technology was good, but not quite that good either.

Isis had begun to back into the corner only to be pushed right back towards the center by one of the men. She felt on the ground in defeat, as one of them hit her in the side with some kind of iron pipe. It hurt..she was used to such abuse from the bullies before..she had always had to suffer from them..she always had to deal with whatever they would do to her, and she always had no way to defend against them..she was scared. What if this time they didn’t stop. What if this time.. She couldn’t even finish the thought, fear was coursing too much for her to actually think on what to do.
All of a sudden..it just stopped. Something in her snapped as one of the men swinged the pipe again towards her..this time though it didn’t hit her..this time she grabbed it. Her eyes consumed by a primal look as her ki began to grow five fold. An orangish red ki growing around her as she stared the men dead in the eyes. She felt nothing but that of which an animal felt when it was surrounded by something it didn’t recognize..fear. Rushing out she rushed to dig her other hand with claws extend to grab the man by his shirt and toss him into the wall. A loud crack being heard, she didn’t care however. She wanted to escape..she didn’t know these people..she wanted out.
Quickly she jumped onto another one of them scratching at their face with her claws. Scratching and scratching as the man’s face grew bloodier and bloodier. From the alley her shadow had changed..there wasn’t a humanoid shape but just that of a fox. Something did snap back into her as she fell backwards..confused at what had just happened..at least until she saw the blood on her hands..she looked at them with fear, looking even at the man on the ground who had looked like some kind of animal had mauled his face with scratches. Still she looked just as fearful. She didn’t know what animal had helped her but whatever it was it had helped her..but she couldn’t figure out why there was blood on her claws.
It seemed she wasn’t getting a break in time any further though as the three remaining men began to approach her. She looked in fear once more frozen in what they should do. Frozen in everything. She couldn’t move..she could only hope that someone was going to come to her help
Temporarily used hidden power (x5) due to immense fear
Raina nodded to the oddity Zeni expressed. "If I were a betting gal, I'd say someone stopped em. He might be in a fight or worse...Exchanging hands with someone else. If he hands off that briefcase, we'll never find them." She hated to have a negative outlook on it, but it was true, that briefcase was as good as gone if it was in the hands of someone else. Zeni couldn't use her tracking device on the next person, and there was always the risk the man found out about the device that was planted on him. It wasn't impossible.
Still, that was all the more reason for them to hurry! Raina kicked it in gear, rushing towards the target, though as she closed in she noticed something odd, something Zeni seemed to notice too, though Raina had made the decision in the heat of the moment, whether or not the guy spotted them, he was tied up! They could still get the jump on him, so Raina called out to Zeni. "We're going to rush the guy! Come on!" She was going to swoop in and tackle the guy if she could help it! Besides, it was now or never! They couldn't just keep tailing him all day!
Still, as she rushed in, it became apparent that there was something more going on. It seemed that same guy was indeed right there, but he was in a skirmish with someone... She felt a small power spike, followed by someone absolutely annihilating some of the combatants. unfortunately, that man and two others still remained, and the person who emitted that boost soon shrunk back down, and seemed to stop fighting back. Now it had become more difficult, that...Was the girl from before. She was going to have to move around that girl to stop those three from advancing too far.
As she ran up closer and closer, she knew there was little time left to plan this out. She'd have to just...Work with the flow of things. That wasn't ideal. She'd rather there was no one at risk here, she hated the idea of someone getting wrapped up in her dealings involuntarily. And it was especially how she felt if they could get hurt. She wasn't a hero. Never considered herself one. But there's no way she was gonna let someone get pushed around in her city!!
"WHO THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU AREEEEEE???!!!" Raina cried out, she lept through the air gracefully! As the man raised a hand to slap Isis, he looked up towards the sound of the yell, and his face met with the heel of her shoe rather spectacularly, his feet even dragged across the ground a little before he went flying back. After it was said and done, she landed on her feet. Turning to look at the last two combatants. "...Did I overdo it a little?" She grinned as she stated. Looking back at Isis proudly.
That was true... There was a strong possibility that someone stopped him, either intentionally or otherwise. Or even worse, there was a trade off taking place. If that was the case, then their tracking device would do them no good. It was risky, but they just had to go in now and try to find the source of the goons later... It wasn't the ideal situation, but sometimes you just had to take what you were given. The Android merely gave a nod. "I guess it's time for us to go, then!", the President of Capsule Corp would voice her agreement.
Mephalia was the first to rush in, and the Android was keeping pace with her. But on the approach... Zeni's sensors detected a huge power. It confirmed that there was a fight going on, but... That dramatic rise in power, whatever it was, it also began to lower afterwards... And from what she could tell, all of the threats were still left. Curiously, whatever she detected was the same energy as that girl they were helping earlier. Perhaps a glitch in her system? It didn't really matter either way. They would be able to confirm once they close the distance!
The Reporter flew right into action, effortlessly knocking out one of the combatants, and leaving two still standing. "Oh dear, there's quite a lot of injured here... I suppose I should take care of the ruffians first.", she observed. At least these two thugs didn't look particularly dangerous. A hatch would open on her back and two blades would hover out. They would shift slightly in appearance, now resembling something more of a drone. The Android would direct the two drones into crashing against the men, being mindful only to knock them out rather than kill them or severely injure them.
It was a pretty quick takedown, she was meant for security detail, after all. Most Humans didn't have the power nor the skill to compete with even the most basic model Android such as herself; even though she prided herself on being fairly advanced in other ways... Still, that was neither here nor there. With the threats taken out of the equation, she'd once more begin using her wires to tie up the now unconscious men... It didn't take her very long to put two and two together on what happened to Isis, however. That dramatic rise in power.
It must have been a blinding anger, and she must have unleashed it on that poor bastard that was currently against the cracked wall. Whereas everyone else was taken down pretty cleanly, there was a good chance that he could die; if he wasn't already dead, that is. "Oh... He looks badly injured. What should we do?", the Android voiced her concern. Sure, they were criminals. But did that mean they should be killed? There was of course still the issue of the frightened girl as well. Zeni wasn't entirely sure how to deal with the issue, she looked to be at her wit's end.
"I know that you're very scared right now... But we're not here to hurt you. You're safe now, so don't run off again, okay?", the President would attempt to comfort the skittish Kitsune. Although it wasn't as if Zeni could really do anything to calm her down either... It was still worth a shot. Especially since it seemed like whenever she ran off like this, it got her into even more trouble. The best thing to do right now was to stick together, or at least find a safe way to leave. Given Mephalia's eagerness however...
It was more likely that they would have to stick together while solving the mystery behind these organized thugs.
WC: 621 Total WC: 3,601 ____________________ Zeni used a flavored variant of Deploy More Weapons! [OT-2] to defeat the remaining thugs.
As Isis would continue to cower in the corner from fear. She knew there was no choice, she was going to have to fight now because whatever creature had came while she blacked out was most likely not coming back anytime soon. She had no choice now….she was the weakest link on her team..she constantly messed up, what could she do to keep that from happening any more. She supposed..she better act soon before they could have a chance to hit her, themselves. However something short of what one would call a miracle happened. Right before she could raise a fist to grab the man’s hand. Someone else appeared to have kicked him before anything could have possibly happened!
As she would turn to see who it was, the same woman who she had ran from earlier. ”Um..yeah..a little too much..I don’t know who attacked those other two though, I blacked out and when I woke up, I had blood on my hands.” She would say with an obvious nervous tone to her voice as she looked at the two before them. If this woman was here then did that mean the other one was nearby as well? Scanning around she tried to look for them only to be met with seeing two drones attack the last two of the remaining thugs. All the while confusion running through her mind as they knocked out the last two of the men.
That was when she saw her, the strange ginger girl obviously some kind of machine as wire began to erupt from them and tie up the thugs. All of this was so strange to everything else she knew about. Yes bullies were one thing, but this was entirely something bigger. Something she didn’t want to be apart of. She had her own group of friends back in the southern isle. Of course she was trying to calm down, even with the robot’s words though she still was quite panicked. Any sane person would be after all from a life or death situation. She couldn’t really call the police or anything though. The only thing she could do was maybe just go home back to the outpost, rest and take in what all had happened.
”T..Thank you for the help..I..I could’ve handled it..b..but I hate having to fight...i..it makes me very very nervous...w..who are you two though?” She would try to ask as clearly as she could, but the stuttering from her nervousness wasn’t helping in the slightest with that bit. Until they could give her an answer though she just stared and stared trying to piece together everything that had just happened. Trying to rationalize it. Yet no matter what she could think of the haunting thought of what had happened still corner her very thoughts. She ahd yto be strong for her mother though..she couldn’t let a nervousness keep holding her back.
