Last Moment: RP Topic

Luigi: Thanks, Seto.

Back in the pizza shop, Sarah eats her pizza a little slower than Seto.

Zeik reaches Elena first.

Zeik: I suspect you know he's out there. I did it more morale, even if Erona comes in with a surprise attack, with the morale boost the army will do much better in future fights. Besides, I know you want to take out Erona on your own. I could see it in your eyes.

----

Maria: Actually....Malik and I could successfully get what you need.
Malik: You mean...
Maria: Yes, what we planned out. It's a perfect time to test it. If it fails something as simple as this, it needs more planning to work.

Raven: I'm a bit worried by your words, Zeik. I recall you saying that you would take care of him.
Elena: Enough, Raven. He's right. I do want to kill him myself. Besides, even if you had intended to shoot him, his powers would have prevented it from it killing him. Now, when Damien gets here, I will explain your mission.

Sandra was a bit curious as to what they had planned.

Sandra: Sound like you guys have a plan. Like I said to Prince though, you don't have to put yourselves at risk over this.

........................................

Eventually Damien gets to Elena's location as well.

Zeik: I did take care of him, the shooting was for show, the morale booster. However I also talked to him and he understands he needs more training so he will be gone for a while, which means in return he won't bother us on missions. That in return means less soldiers will die and the missions have a 50% higher success rate. It's all for the good of the Army.

----

Malik: Maria is right though, it's the perfect time to test out the plan. Just let us do it to help you.

----

Yanou and the unknown man pull up to a large mansion. As he steps out of the car, the man looks like a generic old butler.

???: Come on, this way.

The man leads Yanou into the house, and an adult female greets him.

(Female): Thank you, Jeeves. You must be my guest, you can call me HW.
Yanou: HW...that's strange. Maybe it's just her initials. Thank you for having me here. My name is Yanou.
HW: It's nice to meet you, Yanou. Jeeves, go prepare dinner.
Jeeves: Yes ma'am.

Jeeves heads off to prepare dinner for Yanou and the woman now known as HW.

Elena: Well now that you're all here, here is your new mission. The three of you are to infiltrate a military base in Rhode Island. We've received several reports that they have been mistreating the citizens beyond reasonable means. This will make our base look better in comparison. You three are going to covertly make your way to the leader of that base and kill him directly. Try to avoid other casualties if at all possible. That is all.

Just as she dismisses them...

Elena: Raven, stay for a moment. I have specific instructions for you as well.

----

Seto has now eaten his pizza.

Seto: Hell yes. That was good.

Sandra: Well guys, if your sure, then go for it. I just don't want to feel responsible for putting anybody in unnecessary danger.

Zeik: If you don't mind, I'll take my motorcycle. It's more discreet than a helicopter or a plane, and can be parked out of the way.

Zeik leaves the room and waits for Damien to come out.

----

Sarah finishes her pizza. Luigi walks over with the bill.

Luigi: That will be $16.50.

Sarah takes out her wallet and pays Luigi, making sure to give him a tip.

Luigi: Thank you very much.

----

Maria: I'll be a minute.

Maria walks into her room and changes into a set of normal clothes - a black t-shirt, a black hoodie, a pair of blue jeans, and some white sneakers. She walks out, leaving her broomstick behind, instead having a school backpack.

Malik: Are you ready?
Maria: Let's do it. Sandra, what do you want?

Damien walks up to Zeik.

Damien: So are we ready.

...........................

Sandra: Get my information if you can, ID's and such, unless they already got everything gone. As I've said, a change of clothing would be nice to.

As Maria is about to go do her thing, Sandra speaks again.

Sandra: Wait... also, there should be a photo pinned up on the mirror, it has myself and my parents. When I was one the run, I always kept it close to me. It would mean a lot to me if you could get it back.

Malik: Before you go, come with me for a second.

Malik and Maria head into his office, which is similar to Setos just with more fiction books instead of the Alchemy books and a couple of extra computer monitors. Malik hands Maria an earpiece.

Malik: This is how I'll keep contact with you.

Maria puts the earpiece in and puts her hood up, with her hair coming out of it still in the long pigtails. Malik sits at his computer, turns it on, and puts on a headset. He then hacks into the apartment security system, and pulls up the cameras that show the entrances as Maria leaves. On each camera on screen, a Steve is seen in the shadows. One extra Steve is in the shadows by the main entrance.

Malik: This will be too easy. Only Steves in sight.

----

Zeik: I'm ready. We just need to wait for Raven, and how do you plan on getting there?

Damien: Same way I get into any other base.

*He grinned and just started waiting for Raven to show, then they could get this operation going.*

After a little while, Raven walks outside the office.

Raven: Alright. Let's get this mission started. Here are the coordinates.

Raven hands Zeik and Damien the coordinates to the base.

Raven: I'll see you there. Oh, and please shut this window behind me.

Raven opens a nearby window and then disappears in an instant through the window.

-----

Seto: Alright. Let's head back to base, Sarah.

Sarah: Alright, let's go.

Sarah gets up to leave with Seto.

----

Zeik shuts the window after Raven leaves.

Zeik: Do you need a ride?

----

Maria has made it to the main entrance and a Steve joins her. They walk in the building and take the stairs to find Sandra's apartment. When Maria gets in, she notices some of the valuable items in the living room are missing, but nothing Sandra noted. As Maria makes her way to the bedroom, everything is in place. She grabs Sandra's wallet and the picture before going for the clothes.

Damien: Sure, why not.

*Damien followed Ziek who lead the way.*

...........................

As Sandra waited for Maria, we switch to outside the MDC. Within the city we see a bus pull up to a bus stop. Among the crowd we note a women getting off. She seems to have a jacket on over a white shit, and blue jeans.

Women: Well this is the city... Now where do I go exactly to find them.

As Maria grabs Sandra's clothes and puts them in the backpack, Malik notices something odd on one of the cameras, seeing a black cloud. Malik mutes the mic on his headset.

Malik: Troy, get in here!

----

Zeik gets on his motorcycle and hands Damien a helmet.

Zeik: Hop on. This will get us there faster than a car can.

----

Back with Yanou, Jeeves has brought dinner into the dining room. Yanou and HW sit at the table, eating while Jeeves stands waiting for the plates. They finish when Yanou notices some paintings of Hawkwoman on the wall.

Yanou: HW, paintings of Hawkwoman, and the mace+helmet in the hallway. Things are starting to add up. Just need to make sure.

Seto takes Sarah back to base in his car. He parks in the secret space and then walks back to base and knocks on the door.

Troy enters the room quickly.

Troy: I'm here, what do you need?

.............................

Damien: Motorcycle huh. Do us both a favor and don't crash, alright.

Damien slips on the helmet and gets on the bike.

Sarah walks to the door with Seto.

Sarah: Nobody is answering. Maybe Malik is busy.

----

Malik shows Troy the smoke on one of the cameras.

Malik: What do you make of this?

----

Maria has finished putting everything in the backpack and leaves the apartment. She starts to head down the stairs with the Steve.

----

Zeik: No worries.

Zeik rides off to the highway. When on the highway, which is empty, Zeik activates the nitro and they ride off to Rhode Island.

Seto: Yeah, well screw this. I'm not waiting any longer.

Seto claps his hands together and then touches the door. It opens after a few seconds. After letting Sarah in, he does the same thing and changes the door back.

Seto: Good thing I know how this door was made. Otherwise I wouldn't be able to properly unlock it without blowing it out completely.

Troy: Looks like a black smoke cloud. Generally speaking when smoke is a dark black-ish color, it means something of a toxic nature is burning. Cold be anything from rubber to some type of fuel.

Malik: That's what I feared. It's too late to get her out so...

Malik starts to think hard, focusing in on the Steve by the main entrance. In doing so, the other Steves break out of their trance looking confused. Malik makes the Steve run up to the crowd of people as the apartment building starts to go up in flames. Everybody runs away but one woman, wearing the jacket, shirt, and jeans, who the Steve runs up to.

Steve/Malik: Help. My friend is trapped in the burning building.

----

Inside the apartment building, the Steve and Maria are heading down stairs when the Steve breaks out of the trance. Maria heads down and sees some smoke, with the exits blocked by flames. However the Steve runs up stairs and to the fire escape before the path gets blocked.

Maria: There wasn't anything on fire here before. What to do...

----

Sarah: Look Seto, it's the people who Erona heard before.

Seto walks up to Malik and notices they're having problems.

Seto: What's the situation? Is something burning? Should I call Erona to isolate the fire?

Malik (without talking through Steve): Burning building, yes, No. Maria's in a safe pocket, Erona could make it worse.

----

Sarah doesn't hear the conversation as she walks over to Sandra.

Sarah: Hello, I'm Sarah West. Who are you?

----

In the building, Maria thinks of a plan.

Maria (Speaking Latin): Freeze. Freeze. Freeze.

The building starts to freeze over but the fire is too powerful, just turning the ice into steam and barely putting out the fire.

The women had stopped when she seen the scene, she feared someone was trapped inside and the Steve running up to her confirmed that. There seemed to be no sign of the fire department yet, and the building was starting to go up quick.

Women: Alright, stay back and I'll try to clear a exit.

She looks around and see's a fire hydrant.

Women: It'll have to do.

She started to focus on the hydrant and as she threw her arms up, the hydrant burst from it's foundation and water sprayed up into the air. Taking control of the water spray, she now threw her arms forward. The spray of water also bent and shot forward, putting out the flames by the door opening a exit for Maria. The women relaxed herself as the water spray took it's natural upward motion.

Women: Now's your change, that exit won't stay open long.

......................................

Sandra: Hello. I'm Sandra Bella.

Sandra had seemed to of had something on her mind.

Sarah: Something wrong?
Sandra: I'm just worried about that girl Maria, she went out to get some of my things, I just hope she'll be alright.

Seto: Looks like something else is happening. Ah, best to leave it to you guys. I've had a long day. I have more alchemy to study.

Seto leaves the room and looks around.

Seto: Speaking...where is that guy? He hardly ever hangs out with us.

-----

Above the city, Erona sees the burning building.

Erona: A burning building...it's almost beautiful. Oh well. Back to training.

Sarah: Maria is my sister. I hope she didn't run into any trouble.

----

Inside the apartment building, Maria sees the path open. However, the smoke took more effect on her smaller-than-average body and she coughed a lot when she tried to run.

Maria: Help...

The flames go back up and Maria faints, seeing the woman on the other side.
