#RCRS002Envy

[soulflatter]

Recap. Mirana.

Originally she was one of Jeanne's made daughters, specifically the one made of Envy. An android with envy flooding her every decision, it made her get along very well with a certain Parsee back in the day.

Enough so that despite her other obligations, she promised she'd be back as to not make her goddess jealous or angry that she had other places to be. Though sadly she would nearly perish in Redbellion, left in a cave to die without any recourse or escape, a magnetic anomaly that fried most of her ability to move.

Not being the magic inclined one like her sister, especially Lust. She did all she could to summon force the last vestiges of life to find a way home. Literally pushing herself through a tear in space to land face down before her goddess. Having made it, though lacking several limbs and a decaying metal body. Though Parsee would team up with an Alice to craft her limbs, 1 full arm and leg, and 1 half arm and leg. She wouldn't wake up despite these and her healed body.

Like how some youkai are made from objects and others creatures, Mirana as Parsee would name her. Essentially slept as an empty husk with no energy, limited nanites to make one last change, and a dwindle soul. Until a little baby kamaitachi tried to nestle inside, neither of them strong enough to last on their own. Mirana offered her body as a home, if it would give her the energy to shed her metal parts and become a youkai.

Thus the most envious devotee to a goddess of jealous, was born. She'd serve as that Parsee's shrine maiden until Akai Sekai, where she, Pride, and Lust would tackle down Yuma and avenge a fellow friend.

Costing Pride and Lust their bodies, and Mirana most of her spirit. She'd drift after burying her sister for years, only to now resurface. Healed, a few doll limbs to replace the old limbs.

Though she's returning to a Gensokyo that does not have her Parsee anymore, nor the Alice that made her limbs. v_v.

A lonely Envious devotee.

Mute once more, began to sign- Jape spoke as a means of him communicating, as Jeanne had not yet gave them the ability to speak. Still, the stature that Mute did make wasn’t about to exactly loosen up as of yet; a lot of the Macedon had a feeling of unease when around the magically inclined. Most of them weren’t exactly from a reality that included those things.

“Mute says that he does not know how diplomacy works between your reality and the ones that he has experienced; he says that Diplomatic Relatives are their own politics and work on individual levels. And, this is me clarifying, as far as I know diplomatic relatives can’t actually make official offers or deals. Whatever faction or service that you provide is only a sideline. When I first heard of the gig, honestly, I thought more of it like a friend coming over for a visit. Except the friend is representing other friends.” Jape said, as Jeanne moved closer and closer to Mute - eventually to the point of boob hatting Mute proximity considered. And considering the fact that Mute was only 4′5 and Jeanne was 6′2, well, it was literally a perfect boob hat. Slowly, Jape spoke slower and slower - coughing more out of awkwardness than anything else. Now that Jape was thinking about it, what Jeanne just said could easily have been a dick joke that Kui makes. Jape stood up and offered a brief snicker: “While the two of you do that, I’ve got to clean up a mess.” Jape stood up just then, reaching onto the chest of their BDU and speaking into the radio. Screening, they walked off and away from the situation- leaving Mute with Jeanne.

While Mute watched as Jape left, presumably to free any trapped Macedon - they looked up and made upside down eye contact with Jeanne. If Jeanne decided to give Mute a voice, they began to speak for themselves. “Shall we get going? Or do you prefer to stand like this a little bit longer? I’m eager to see what a Titan class flagship looks like. If it is in local space, we could likely view our own colony.” Mute asked this, shuffling in place and using a hand to pretty much do the most obscure penis tuck possible.

When Jeanne had boob hatted Mute, she tapped his neck to give him a voice again. Leaning a little forward for her chest to really press on their head. Her arms around the other’s shoulders now, basically doting over them as Jeanne smiled. “Yes let’s go see the ship then. Envy I leave you two to talk more. At least try to prepare some informal means of communication at least between our core group and there’s. I’m sure neither of us want to experience such a mix up again. And download those schematics.”

“Now let us go.” Jeanne tossed her roundel before her, a gate appearing. Much different than fast direct portals, it as a stable one to a fixed location. The interior of the landing ship, since she figured Mute wanted to see the titan as they approached, they’d need to be in the ship first.

Once inside Jeanne still didn’t let Mute go, walking with them, a slight giggle at their discomfort, and when approaching the seats. She didn’t change, pulling Mute into her lap in the front seat to see everything. “Now another gate for us, we’ll head to our galaxy. Don’t worry Envy can contact me everywhere, so you’ll never be a call from home.”

And once through, Jeanne’s personal ship would show itself orbiting a planet.

“Hey, these ears are what make me special! Nice sword,” the woman responded, showing no sign of caring for the woman they were fighting over. Truth be told – she didn’t care at all. It was only her host who did. “You seem an indecent fellow. I’m fine with having to kill you.” This fight had been more entertaining than every fight she’d had against the Horde recently, and she was almost sad to know that it’d eventually end. 

Again without a verbal warning, the lunar rabbit moved swiftly, initially rushing straight towards Envy and then - hopped. She bounced over her adversary, twirling about as she did, keeping one blade in a defensive posture to block a strike, while the other slashed down - hopefully- upon Envy’s head or shoulders. Its fighting style was hard to decipher, but Helena had decided to use her agility to hopefully turn the tide. If only to stop her host’s nagging.

The Android stared happily at the bunny like woman, stating her lack of worries towards killing the android. “Fine by me, I won’t necessarily die..” Envy shifted a little to the left, sword still held by her sole arm.

Preemptively Envy thrust forward her arm, the blade extending forward and out as her arm did the same, the same action as when she grabbed the gun from Helen’s hand but instead used as a projectile stab. Though it would miss easily, Helen leaping up and over, twirling as Envy rushed forward spinning to face Helene, her blade stabbing into the ground and her hand pulling her away, just enough to dodge out of the way of the downward slash.

Envy didn’t retract her hand entirely however, pulling the blade towards herself, tossing it to catch its handle in her teeth as her feet caught her and inhumanely pulled her from nearly on her back to her feet. Lunging forward with blade in her mouth, she swung her head across to cut at the bunny, allowing her extended hand to whip around from her blind spot like a lasso.

If not caught her hand would wrap around Helen’s body, tying an arm up and tightening around her neck

“Sounds complicated, but cool. We are the opposite to you, I was a sentient before being transplanted into this body. Some of my biology was kept. Looks like we’re both cyborgs then, mute there is also a Cyborg.”

Forming a long chain of signs for communication, Mute responded without showing the discomfort that the Witch brought about themselves - the posture that they did hold though, was a very defensive one. Still, they tried to make some talk. “I am suppose to be a mute to hold, gather and Annihilate data. Only during certain intervals am I allowed to verbally communicate with others, but it puts a lot of strain on my leaders; so I do not ask for it often. My preference is verbal communication. I was very shy prior to my adoption, so I do not notice too much of a change.” In reality, Mute had received many failed surgeries and operations - losing the ability to speak was something the Macedon had no idea to fix without additional equipment being added … until later on, when Mute was already established.

Jape spoke for Mute, while he translated she interrupted it for those who did not quite understand. Mute continued to sign, and Mute furthered the interpretation. “He also says that he would like to have a look around your ship, preferably your primary ship. They said that if you want anything to do with him as a diplomatic relative, they would need to look around. He says that whatever he does see is put into recorded data, so you can prepare the ship for anything you want to guard.” Jape said this, taking a seat on the rubble- particularly a rock that had been flung from one of the distant buildings. Sitting down on it, they sighed in relaxation. While Mute only continued to use sign language, it almost seemed as though they lied about being shy - or maybe they overcame it post Macedon. “Mute says that he is interested in the diets of yourself and the cyborgs. … And if you would like, you can establish Diplomatic Relatives on a scheduled basis.”

“Then for the time being you may speak with my magic, at least use it to your hearts content. We’re hardly at odds, and we’re in limbo waiting for Pride’s personality module to come back. Besides you’re not along, this Japen one is here too.” Jeanne focused on Mute though, walking behind them and wrapped arms around, hanging over their shoulders like a kid being protected. “I can show you the flagship I control. Its merely an extension of their empire after all.”

“Miss Red is our hero but not entirely our leader. We’re like an extension of her, but not her own entire thing. You would have to accompany us to meet one of Core’s representatives to establish a diplomatic setting beyond just a person adventure with Miss Red.”

“As for diets, we eat anything. And convert it to raw energy, there’s many chemical processes inside. The schematics will show you that.”

“My flagship is not something I need to hide. A titan class flagship is common place in our galaxy, we merely have the resources to create multiple. You can see anything you want, my personal information does not reside there.”

“Yeah your tits are pretty big- Heh-huhmf- that’s weird. I mean not your tits, oh- uh - right - friends? Uhhhhhh … not really, I wasn’t the one that actually met her. Anyways- I think the schematics would be great! Our science department loves studying things like that, but the thing is, I don’t actually know where your android is! So I’ll get to finding it. I don’t go to assembly very often, science isn’t really my thing, so chances are the android is already on assembly. Though we quarantine things that represent an individual, and a personality module sounds an awful lot like that.” Kui said this, as they opened the palm of their hand: giving out with the palm what appeared to be a small black and white chip - it had a magical presence to it, but only faintly. Mute stepped forward to take the chip, and then stepped back to Envy’s side. “Ah- by the way, you can call him Mute. He knows sign language if you know that sort of thing, the language is common. Not sure if that’s the same common as your common. But you speak my language, and my language is the common language. You can hold onto Mute until I find what you’re looking for, and when I find it, I’ll port back to the chip. Quick question, do you want all of the remains or …?” Kui asked, chomping her teeth down several times - and twirling her index finger directly at Mute. Getting the picture, he stuck it into his mouth and bit down - disappearing. One of his glowing cyan eyes turned a visible light green, other than this, nothing else truly happened. If Kui was given the a-okay to the deal, they would’ve turned around to visibly, jump into a light green portal. The image on the other end was a lab, with a busy populace in … lab environments. Jape followed soon after, but the portal closed up right before they actually made it in!

“Hey wa- okay then.” Jape turned around, making direct eye contact with Jeanne. There was a small pause, it was when Jape directed her attention to Envy. “So. What’s it like being an Android on your end? Frankly, I prefer an actual body.”

Jeanne kept her eyes on the girl, letting her ramble on about her chest, after all it was why she wore what she wore. To push people’s eyes to her body to distract them. “I’ll just take that as a compliment. And yes, the Schematics for the androids themselves aren’t a secret, there are some secrets but those ones i have still to myself. The one you have is a standard model, due for upgrade.”

“Him? Well that’s a shame, I was thinking since we invited this Mute with us for a bit. That I could ravish her, or him...Well they are cute.” Jeanne looked at mute with a teasing smile, “I could do a lot with you.” Allowing Envy to take the chip Jeanne nodded. “Sign Language, do you prefer that over being allowed to speak?”

“Works for me.” Jeanne answered, with Mute and Envy back at her side. “I’ll have Mute given the schematics for a few of our android models. All of them as a gift for playing along, and returning my girl’s personality module. Those matrix's are so hard to make from scratch after all.”

“Some of us like Pride that you killed, are still learning. But we have biomechancial bodies. We’re really cyborgs, most organic insides but all backed up by machine. Its fun once you get used to being sentient.”

“Hahaha you’re an odd one, so all big boob girls are evil. I’ll make a note of that.” If that’s what people thought, then next time a slimmer look might lower guards. Who knows. Still giggling to herself, she humored the other’s active questioning.

“Nope not related at all, i have no siblings. She’s merely a pest that’s been assigned to stop me, at least till her soul degrades too much from dying. But she’s a strong girl, since you know her name I assume you’ve met her before. Friends?”

“I never said they were good girls or anything, they’re just modified. I could easily repeat the spell with more focus on just covering everything instead of targets. But I do want my girl back before any assembly or trash. That’s non negotiable.”

“And I know you have the ability to bring her here. I mean if all you want to do is examine, I can give you schematics of her series of android. But I want to preserve her personality module before it degrades without an active host.” And yes.

She did think Mute was a girl, a cute one she had lewd thoughts about. But who cares about that!

“Oh- wait- what- WHAT- what- I wasn’t pretending. And besides, It’s more like a feeling and not really actually the way that you look. Besides, most people I know that are super evil have pretty big boobs. Unless if they’re a guy.

… … I never actually checked the dick sizes … OH! Hey- yeah, hey evil person! I was kind of wondering, is Sezja your sister!? Because you’re both kind of the same size, except she’s a little bit fatter. And you’re a bit taller. Also your hair is monomial and her hair is binomial- you’re both white people … boob size is familiar, can’t really say downstairs-” Very suddenly, Jape flicked the back of the Kui’s head and blew cold air out and onto their neck.

“Jeez, give me a second? I’m suppose to be collecting for the next few minutes. And I’ve got nothing to collect to begin with.”

“You should listen to what they are saying.”

“I’m listening. Okay- so I assume that you mean pull from her, as in stealing technology. Truth is that we don’t really steal technology, we just take a look and then throw it in the trash after. So I guess we copy technology? Ehhh-heh-heh- So when it’s in the trash, you can take it back! Which is probably soon? I don’t know how busy assembly is … but I know what you can do to make the dealio easier-io! That cool black spike thing that you did with the sky? Can you do it a few more times throughout the planet? Preferably not hitting the androids? Garbage gets thrown into the nearest black hole, because that’s pretty much the best garbage can in most universes. Plus the testing environment is practically ruined now, luckily I’m not the one running the shin-dig. We can call it even if you make it look all spiky looking for upcoming Pana tournaments! Or maybe add some other cool elements?” TheKui asked.

“If you’d like a second opinion, the android that was captured must’ve been deficient or compromised in some way: a civilian could’ve taken it out with the tactics that I used. My best guess Is that assembly received my logs and did not see enough potential to expend the energy.”

“Jeez, it was that bad? …” Kui mumbled to Jape. “So do you want to work your magic and then go to assembly, or what do you want to do!?”

During this odd exchange of words, Mute felt the pressure of the Red Witches hand rub at the top of their helmet; he looked between the Witch & Envy, keeping their thoughts to themselves … “Did … did this person think that they were a girl?” Mute thought to themselves, sure, they looked neutral and modifications gave a youthful appearance. Mute did nothing but ignore the fact, and just let things be.

“I asked for even one thing-” Jape stopped at the sudden boom, the event horizon that shook the planet forced such winds that Jape was forced to lean forwards and put a hand down onto the ground; skidding back and eventually get back up to all two’s. “We’re gonna have to talk about what just happened while I continue as ordered.” Jape said, listening in onto incoming transmission. While they did so, rather than looking towards Sezja- Jape walked beyond them and towards Cack. Sitting down on their knees with a twist of their gun to their back: they sat a packed backpack down and onto the ground. Sifting through it, they reached out and took what looked to be a blue, almost purplish black grenade. Peeling back some sort of onion like layer, a rubbery one, they tossed it directly into Cacks Core where it literally turned into a mini-black hole. In less than a second, Cacks body was crushed into the size of a small pea. Jape then stomped on it, pushing it into the ground as if to hide it.

“This is an automated Broadcasted Message System. All Macedon are ordered to re-group and ground themselves immediately, take cover in the nearest underground structure and deploy Invested Barrier of the T5 Class as soon as possible, regardless of situation, duty and priority. If this effort can not be done in terms of briefness, then do so immediately.”

“You can go into more detail about why we can’t study remains of enemy forces. It is standard procedure.” Jape waved, once more holding their rifle front and center- walking towards a manhole with a calm and collective attitude. The magic was something Jape had known nothing about, and the broadcast was concerning; even so, Jape had no idea what exactly was to come- but they knew that Sezja was more than just an elite as a sort of insurance.

“!” The explosion in itself was enough to catch Mute off guard, the boom causing an instant collapse of Mutes knees more so out of shock factor, ass to the ground and body backwards- they quickly got right back up to their feet and started to backtrack, actually, towards Envy. Standing more so to their side for some kind of security, losing the ability to speak didn’t exactly do wonders for the situation at hand. Rather than communicating verbally, Mute forced both hands behind their back and gulped in the most visible possible way. Rather than making direct eye contact, they stared down and at their feet - for plenty of reasons, too. In the end though, the decision to use terror was not a very effective one. In the distance, those who had previously hit the atmosphere were now leaving it; giving the impression that a force of some kind must’ve existed outside of the planet …

“Its not about being allowed or not. Its whether she’ll let us or not.” Sezja watched them move to Cack, wanting to stop them but the real focus was the light that slowly dimmed and dimmed. Sezja knew what it was, her hand up as she started chanting. “Get over here. The ground won’t save you. It never does, but I’ve dealt with this before..” 

“Stupid witch is already planet side, I hope your friends that are still standing have something to protect them...I hope whatever people are left survive this too..” The light continued to dim, though it wasn’t that it was dimming because it was fading out. It was because whatever it was firing out started to block the light.

Millions of purple black poles raining down from the sky, skewering everything, leveling buildings, mimics and other creatures hidden nearby, devastated, civilians fleeing their shelters were mowed down. Sezja waited briefly for the other to get near her before lowering her Hex barrier down around them as some of the poles tried to angle under and at Sezja.

“That’s pretty smart.” Jeanne commented, looking at Mute as they stuck to Envy. The poles avoided Jeanne and Envy and other of the other androids but spared nothing else around them. And it wasn’t just downwards they fired, upwards too to anything in orbit that wasn’t hers. “There seems to be someone who’s not dying, and I bet that’s my Crimson witch...and with her, I’d assume..one of yours? Maybe My toy hum? Once the ‘rain’ stops. Shall all of us go for a walk to see who survives?”

Hearing the feedback of Sezja wasn’t exactly ideal for Jape, especially with orders being on the general grounds that the person was an immense threat. “If you destroy the remains of Cack, you may follow me around and ask me questions. Note that what I just said lacks any and all permissions for you to use actions against myself and others. Cack earlier mentioned multiple androids, is that the case? If so, I’d like to perform an extraction of those remains.” Jape spoke, turning to face Sezja. Their weapon was pointed in Sezja’s direction, but not directly at them, instead, just below them in a way that it was a bit more obvious. In the atmosphere, the sounds of jumbo jets hit hard and made those in the hemisphere aware of incoming aircrafts.

“… I am unfamiliar with a crimson one, you will need to go into greater detail about this entity for me to recognize. You will also need to realize that I am a separate entity than others on this planet, and I can not fulfill the task that you are asking. As it is out of my control and I currently lack the information that you are looking for. It would make little sense for an android that specializes in espionage to hold valuable information such as that. My recommendation for you to achieve what you are requesting is to make contact on a diplomatic level and then make the requests and/or demands. My Personality Anticipator suggests that with your current demands, you will have a 0% chance in success. My recommendation is to approach with dough, or else you will get a no.” The rhyme was without a doubt a little bit cringe worthy, but it was entirely meant to shifts the witches interaction … also, Mute didn’t get to speak very often. It was very obvious that they liked that little bit of wordplay with the shy almost slippery smile that they wore. In the distance, the sound of jumbo-jets hit the atmosphere … “I should mention that by dough, I do not mean economic values.”

“Destroy the remains? I can’t!” Sezja was not one to kill anything, though those androids were an exception for the single reason that they never really died. At least she knew that, but she didn’t know about Cack or the other ones. Walking closer the blonde still shook her head. “There’s 4 of them, perhaps many more. But its not them that’s the worry, its the one that controls them..”

“No you don’t understand. I know you, like so many others, want to study that corpse. You can’t, trust me you can’t. I’ve tried so hard to. And every time..” Sezja trailed off as a loud crack was heard and a massive rumble was felt.

“I don’t believe you. You can radio them I’m sure, you can connect with them if I provide you the equipment. Or even project your voice globally..so I don’t believe you.” Envy backed off as Jeanne brushed her finger up Mute’s neck and off her chin. “0% what a shame. I want my toys back and I want Sezja here so I can bully her. I’m sure someone knows, and if not..well.”

The witch turned around, Envy still noticeably distanced from both as Jeanne’s hand burned with a purple hewed energy, clasping it between both of her hands before throwing it skywards. The energy readings inside the ball were off the charts, the ball reaching beyond the tallest building before exploding into a thin veiling purple light that spanned the entirety of the sky.

“My economic value is genocide. In a few tasteful moments, hell will rain down upon this globe skewering all I don’t view as favorable. Yourself included, so best put a good word in for me and get some ears listening, or you won’t be preserving data for long girl.”

“I'm a very unreasonable person honestly.”

Cack was completely paralyzed, blind and had only partially functioning hearing. Despite being saved, they would really only have a few moments longer to live. At random intervals, a shock shook out from the empty core and jerked their entire body; the remaining energy that they needed to survive was essentially being drained by a lack of a plug. They offered no response, and no feedback for the time being.

Upon standing, Mute raised at attention and slowly pushed their head back when the other reached out to poke at their neck. “… I’m an android designed for espionage missions and gathering Intel. The people who did employ me are now deceased, and I am gridlocked with the information until I find a new establishment that is not relative to this world. My primary goal is to ensure the information that I do contain is not lost, and my secondary goal is to ensure survival for the longest period possible. If you need to know anything about this world or anybody on it, I can give you that information in order to reach those two goals.” The facial expression that Mute made was a cross between confusion and discomfort, a distorted facial expression that lacked clear understanding.

“Well I’m sure command would like an autopsy.” Reaching into their backpack, Jape pulled out what looked to be some sort of stone tablet- light and compact, they approached the android and tossed it on top of them. Shattering, the remains would’ve been instantly absorbed and now, gone from the area for later inspections. On the radio, “This is Jape, reaching out to M96-B7-Mute, M19-A4-Cack, do you register?” There was silence. Mute had disabled his communications, Cack had their internal systems practically dissolved at this point; so much so that Sezja would’ve actually been able to hear them almost like a radio reaching out.

Fleeing the building and landing a good distance away, Sezja set the limp thing down and pondered her head on how to help her. “Dammit I’m no techomancer or anything, Leonie is so much better than I am with this. Give me a sign or something on how to..” That’s when Sezja heard a voice both from the radio and nearby, peaking around she noticed another one of their team hunched down over then android only for the body to vanish.

“Hey!” The blonde called out, “you! I have your friend. The huh, the Cack one.” Subconsciously Sezja had her hex barriers up just in case they fired at her. “Your voice is coming through her. I’m serious, I won’t attack but I also need to talk to you. Let’s have a peace okay?” Sezja offered out, especially because of the body being collected.

Sezja knew. The witch didn’t like people taking her androids.

“Is that so.” Jeanne responded to Mute’s information, “while I don’t have any reason then to destroy you, and I’m sure I can convince Envy here not to take anything from you. You’ll have to help me out here. You see I dropped a party of four down to chase a Crimson girl...well 1 is entirely gone, and the other two are in pieces. So, you must have others here? Where are they? All of them.”

“You give me my Androids back and the Crimson one. And I’ll let you stay in one piece, we can share information maybe. And the others get to survive. Hows that?”

Restrained and unable to do very much without limbs to speak of, Cack instead opted into disabling themselves once again; the core that they did stick into the hole in their chest was automatically twisted and pushed out- tumbling down and onto the ground. “Fucking- get me out of this things grip before I get mutilated!” This resulted in the core tumbling down to the ground, the first shock tightened the Androids, Cacks, body as if being tazered- occurring several seconds over time. After this period of time, the final blast was another EMP, this one farm more devastating to Cacks systems that the previous. As smoke began to evaporate out of their body, it was evident that this vessel did not exactly have very long before frying itself, in the way that Cacks body reacted.

“May I stand?” Mute asked, reaching forward to begin once again typing on the pad presented for them to communicate. If they were enabled to stand, they pushed the backpack forward and towards the Android; to rise at a full height of a diminished 4′5 and turned around to confront those approaching. More along the lines of, remain still and don’t ruin anything for themselves: this was more now a mission to gather data than anything else. Though, Mute would’ve remained on the ground if they had no such permission.

“… I can’t believe I’m about to say this, but I’m actually bored. I wonder how the others are doing. Cack is probably dead right about now. Mute is probably being a manipulative little shit … or maybe these Androids aren’t worth mentioning a whole lot. Ngggff … I should really be doing something else right now. Let’s see …” They thought to themselves, instead of making a full circle- they made a double block. Out came a grenade, a cluster grenade- a triple to be clear. It looked a lot like an egg, and they tossed it at the very moment their AI decided that the target would be closing. Perfectly timed with both the AI and the tracking technology, whether or not the grenade hit- it clustered once into a ring and hit the ground in an explosion. These bombs bounced on the ground and split once more, a second wave, a wave of shrapnel shooting about everywhere and in every direction. The third bounce it split to even smaller particles, and like fireworks that crackled and dissipated in mere seconds- so did this! Although the attack was designed to burn anything with high temperatures in only seconds.

Acting fast Sezja did just that, coming right up to both of them as Greed’s extra limbs sought to piece apart this new catch. The shocks weakening the extra more robotic limbs of the enemy’s, it gave Sezja time to interfere, shattering the limbs with a thrust through before kicking the disabling body of Greed’s back and pulling off robotic arms. From there the blonde pulled Cack away and retreated fully, letting a swath of fire take over the roof to hopefully take both out. “Nice job even if careless.” She’d take the other a small distance away for them to recover, and maybe talk a bit now that Sezja proved she as trying to do good but stopping some clear foes.

Envy slipped off the other finally, standing and taking the bag in her hands along with everything else attacked to her or hanging off clips. She turned and welcomed the approaching woman now who looked at Mute.

“You’ve found something worth my time Envy? You, Mute is what she records you as. Speak.” Her finger extended out, poking Mute’s throat. Thoughts would not be translated to words. “Think your speech, it’ll speak itself don’t worry. Talk now, why are you so important?”

As for Pride, her own Pride resulted in her end, Moving head long into this trap, burning on point and falling to melted skin and metal. Freeing up one of the scenes of battle.

Finishing up those repairs meant that Cack’s eyes lit back up, a glowing Cyan that collected information with the first blink of evidence: they informed Sezja. “Alright, I’m back. I’ve got another trick, so support me from behind.” Cack said this, rusning forward with or without Sezja’s permission and directly at Greed. With no weapon to draw, there was a small physical almost electrical shield that was developing around Cacks body: as thin as light and yet as light as … well, light. Reaching into their BDU, a flashbang was unleashed: holding it in their hands as a fisty cuffs. Throwing a punch with the opposite hand, then an uppercut with the other hand- the flashbang was tossed directly in between Greed & Cack. The flashbang detonating in between the air, Cack repeated this process several times over: completely using up all of their flashbangs in between two punches. This could’ve been interrupted, even more easily if the flashbangs had no effect on the Android. Although with the amount of force and speed Cack was able to punch, it was quite clear that despite the size: they operated outside of natural conditions.

Mute clapped both hands, pointed at the ‘tablet’ that was used before, and if given the opportunity to write once more: they would’ve continued to talk. “Will you maintain me, or my vessel? I am uncertain whether or not I know what you are referring to in regards to a personality module. It is in my preference to remain intact, I would be more helpful for both of us.” The ‘warming’ hand that grazed over his cheek was not at all comforting, Mute pretty much knew what was going to happen to him: or at least they thought that they knew. Even with preparations being made for this however, the hand gave a sense of dread.

“Hey don’t be hasty!” Sezja warned but Cack already ran forward, their flash bang tactics had an effect. But not on their foe, instead it started to blind Sezja who wasn’t ready for something like that. The androids able to adjust to the first flash then the next, after a well placed swing, Greed’s hand would catch Cack’s wrist.

“I’m a combat unit of the 43nd Xeria Foundation. At least I was haha.” The androi’s body seemed to have fixed itself, and her arms had split into 4 different limbs. The machinery in her body was impressive, all her new hands grabbing onto Cack’s body to pull her towards Greed. “Tell me are you all metal too, Greed is all consuming so I figure I’ll add your best parts to my body and we’ll work together.”

Sezja swing herself around a bit trying to get her eyes back, blinking a few times before her sight slowly returned. “No no no. Cack just, delay her or something. Physical is all that works, if she’s trying to piece you she’s vulnerable. Center chest, round node.”

Moving the screen over again Envy listened to her question as the ship started to land behind them. “We’ll copy your modules but if you’re good, you can remain intact and yourself. I’m not that mean, of course. When our commander approaches, you best offer her something really nice...like say. The detailed positions of every remaining member of your team across this dead planet?”

The ship’s landing platform lowered as a few more boots in the ground, and most strikingly was one with blonde hair and red eyes. Their witch.

Elsewhere Pride’s chase was starting to fatigue them, too stubborn to stop but too exhausted and lacking energy replenishment to recharge. Their pace slowed and their sensors reduced leaving them open for a perfect shot.

“Keep them both away while you repair is something that’s well easy. Just don’t mind the heat.” Sezja didn’t mind the other’s using her as a shield, she had the ability after all. And would add to it, fire formed around her hand, she pushed it outwards into an intimidating wall of fire.

Of course she didn’t expect it to stop them and both androids were all too happy to walk through the first. Though Lust would walk through first as Greed took a more curious look at what Cack was doing. It gave Sezja a moment, super glad the other couldn’t see. She pulled her collar down a bit, showing some skin as Lust gazed on her, moving ahead, distracted by her own internal thoughts before Sezja aimed a small ball of fire swirling in her shatter spell. The ball hitting Lust in the stomach and all sorts of fluids and parts exploded out. 

“Ughosd...” The girl tumbled down for now, Greed pushing through and moving fast towards them.

“The usually dumb one is down but seems the other is repaired. I hope you’re ready, this one is VERY annoying to deal with.”

“You’re so kind you know this. I would be jealous of you having all of this, so much so it would make me want to kill you. But here you are, giving it all away...I’m envious of that kindness.” The android held the gun still before reaching out to stroke Mute’s cheek with her hand. “You’re sort of like me, you don’t mind if I rip out your personality module if you have one...of course. After all your information is saved.”

Behind her, what appeared to be a small landing craft was coming. Completely different from any technology the residents of this dying world had. It was clear, the ride had come.

“I’m making internal repairs, you’re going to have to give me 20 seconds or more: just keep your magic around us. It isn’t as easy as just resetting my senses, I’ve suffered severe internal damage.” They said this, having been caught- they get back down to their feet and and despite having no vision to support movement, put a hand upon Sezja’s shoulder and whipped out her sidearm. Pointing in between the androids, her free arm flicked their rifle back and flipped the bottom portion of her tactical vests; the stomach area held a sort of cylinder with a handle. They gripped it, twisted and began to turn: relying heavily on Sezja’s protection: pulling this cylinder out and tossing it behind them, and off of the roof. Smoke began to fizzle out, reaching in, Cack pulled what looked to be an identical core in the very center- they repeated the process, twisted by the handle and then getting it tight enough to remain locked in the belly. If Cack had enough time to do all of this, they certainly would’ve been back and into the action …

“…” Mute paused, only a matter of seconds passing as the weapon was handed out: proving that Mute wasn’t exactly to be trusted, they instead went with a different plan. Most Macedon were loaded to the teeth in weapons. This rule did not exclude Mute, as they sat up as given the opportunity: handing out weapons like it was a Christmas Dinner. 3 knives, two in the boots, one in the helmet, an additional pistol was given from the opposite leg, the right arms bicep, the left arms bicep hidden away in thick fabric that gave no impression of such thing. Of course, these pistols were exceedingly small in size … Pulling the backpack off and into their lap, they pulled it open and held it up as if Santa showing somebody what was in the sack. Ammunition for shotguns, rifles, pistols- an additional miniature pistol, a compact shotgun, grenades of varying degree, everything that Mute was showing had exceptions to them. They still had one pistol hidden away, and to be frank, it wasn’t exactly in the utmost comfortable of places. Still, they gave a brief, very brief smile that turned more and more sheepish by the second.

“Which again, wouldn’t have happened if you didn’t try to stick your nose into somebody elses problems … what do I know though.” They scoffed and shook their head, not exactly taking the shift of the blame very lightly: though the shove certainly did get them back into the heat of things. Taking orders, regardless of the blameful hostilities between the two: Cack through two discs, one directly up and into the sky, the other directly off of the building. Streaming a line of bullets directly at the ‘trophy hunter’, Lust, the disc in the sky very suddenly switched places with Cack. Within split seconds, the disc that took cover behind Sezja was falling to the ground. Cack was in the midst of throwing some kind of ‘balled knife’ in between the Androids. As the disc hit the ground, Cack once again switched places and took cover behind Sezja to reload their weapon. The disc, now in the sky, fell down: if it was not harmed on it’s way down, Cack would’ve caught it and pocketed it. The knife, only a second after sticking into the ground, let out an EMP: detonating the mass area, and completely blinding Cack. “Be my eyes and ears, I’m unable to see. Did the EMP work?” Cack asked, the once glowing blue eyes now completely dimmed and almost a black shade: giving evidence that Cack relied on technology for vision rather than a biological state. Whether or not they sustained damage during this attack would soon show, as they still had damage inhibitors shutdown.

“I would be willing if you could get up from off of me. Believe it or not, my biological reactions are not inhibited because of my current body.” Mute wrote this, of course. Whether or not they actually got the hint about the matter, they at least waited to get up: only if allowed. Kneeling down to those heavy boots, pulling up the pant leg and showing what appeared to be a miniature pistol: only the size of a small palm. It was a test, holding it neutrally down to their side and giving the android a neutral facial expression.

Sezja wanted to comment back but there was more to focus on, and the other was right. Her interference sure did spark some interesting happenings, though she had nothing to do with the two deviant androids before them. 

The display that followed though, was something to watch. Sezja focusing on the androids, keeping them back as the knife hit the ground. Bashing both androids backwards with her hex shaped barrier, the blonde moved back into position. The emp bursting as the two above human traits androids stumbled, but neither fell, both dashed forward. Slower but hardly hampered, if anything they were just as fast as a standard person now.

But it did mean they’re reflexes were lower too, spirals of fire formed on her fingers before thrusting them out. The spirals leaping out to hit Greed’s right arm, and Lust’s Left. Both arms shattering as Sezja shouted ‘shatter.’ Their didn’t fall into millions of pieces but their outsides and insides fractured to uselessness. Handing with oils and blood leaking out.

The blonde then turned and leaped to catch the other, blinded still as Sezja creating a little distance. “It worked a bit, they’re partially biological s you’ve ruined their super human capabilities.”

“Reset your senses soon, I can break them apart more but I’ll need your shooting skills to drop them both dead.”

“Sorry but I am staying here, whatever biological reactions you have you can have I don’t care. Right now we’re awaiting further boots and transport. So stay still.” Envy did at least, ship down their legs, allowing them to sit up. Eyes watching their movements, letting them reach for whatever but still keeping the gun to their chin.

“Another item for me? Thank you.” The android was vigilant, perhaps the smartest of the Red series, her hand remaining out. Expecting whatever was pulled to be giving up right away.

“… It would seem as though intelligence is lacking. Man, does it feel good to be the lucky one. Or maybe others lack intelligence. Hphhttt … could really go for a bowl right about now …” They thought to themselves. This process continued over and over again, a repeat that didn’t shift so as long as the Android they followed did not shift in behavior.

“ … Heh … I’m feeling an awful lot like this wouldn’t be happening right now if you weren’t trying to play hero or some other stupid shit … they don’t know nothin’ about me, buhhhht’ahhhh’dunno if the sames for you.” They said this, weapon at the ready and taking a step back: particularly to the side of Sezja, but even then, it was obvious that they were using Sezja as some kind of cover. Following this strange circular formation of a ‘duel’ the formation was tightly knit. “Wanna start explaining, you know, before the lunatic Pinkie Pie over there tries to disassemble my synthetic biology for your conscious sake and their supposed trophy collection?”

They blinked, this kind of technology was most definitely outside of this worlds. Sort of reeling back, almost forcefully, they reached up and began to type, ignoring orders previously given to lie- instead, opting to go a different route. Mutes glowing blue eyes flashed, a lot like a blink, within their interior a change of plan was being made. They wrote: “I am a Biological Android administered for Espionage Activity. I possess great knowledge and information that would be best keeping for yourself or those you serve. Because my previous superiors are now deceased, my priority is to prolong life as long as possible for data collection to occur.”

And so they’d continue to chase.

“I’ll shatter your arms in a heartbeat if you keep that up. While I might be over extending my hand in this case, I assure you. Its only because you girls forced my hand by self destructing that they even knew about this place. Maybe if you all just sat still and tried to stop doing things.” Blame could of shifted every which direction, but right now a real threat was before them. Whatever Sezja’s plan was, whatever these girl’s plans were.

They were all better than the androids that stood across from them, one looking at both girls with every intense heated eyes, the other looking at their parts and gear smirking.

“They’re servants of some unknown entity of a woman and there’s billions of them how about that? They assimilate species among other gross things.” Sezja tried to explain, holding the same hexagonal barriers in front of them as they walked. Only turning to show the girl back a bit as a metallic hand burst from the floor. Sezja’s spear swung around and smacked the hand shattering it before looking forward.

Both androids darting at them with precise speed, glancing blows off the shield as Sezja lowered it, “fire back. We’re going to act like shield and spear, I’ll block and deal with threats, you pick them apart shot by shot.”

Meanwhile between mute and jealousy.

“Well aren’t you smart.” Envy chimed, reading what was written as a small microphone descended from her ear to her mouth. “Red Series 002. Object priority 10 attained. Protocol 062.”

“If that’s the case you won’t mind coming with me aboard our ship for some further ‘talks.’ Such information cannot be lost after all, so we’ll make sure you have a way to survive and share it all.”

Making a sharp turn, Jape continued with this idea of running away: making a sharp left, running the street entirely and making another sharp left. Completely making a circle, Jape reached up to the inside flap of their protective helmet and switched something on. A one way visual system appeared for their own viewing, picking up foot prints and beginning interior Dialog with an AI: “AI Override is granted, track marked figure using pressure prints, sound and re-course based on the traveling distance and direction. The goal is to keep a consistent circle without either of us being seen.” And thus, the circle of ‘forever’ began …

Being literally yoinked up and at attention from cover, Cack would’ve immediately started swinging: whether or not the first punch to the jaw would’ve actually made it, Cack widened their eyes and realized the turn of the tables. “Wayy’oh- shit, didn’t realize- what- I was pretty sure that these things were on your side. Do they know magic? Can your magic protect me? I already shhhh’ oohhh-” Just then, they realized the appearance of the two androids. “Nevermind, if you know about them, let me know what to aim for. Or am I aiming for Miss Rainbows Fuck Hole over there?” Cack was a talker, they asked a lot of questions and had a lot of energy to expend: with a weapon raised to Lust, referring to Lust. Cack was suppose to be exterminating the ‘aliens’ but as it turns out, they had to sort of … pick a side. Or at least for now.

Ironically that the one to speak and talk was the one that ended up with Mute in their grasp, the sudden foot to the chest forced Mutes back to the ground: arm stalled at their side as only the upper flap of the pistol holster was actually opened up. Paused with silence, this particular personnel was not meant for engaged conversations. With one hand slowly rising, they gave the ‘hand’ to give them a minute, and preciously, in full display, pulled the pistol out of the holster by the butt of the pistol. Turning it around on the ground, they used the barrel to flick it forward to their feet, and more so towards Envy: making it clear that they weren’t looking to grip at the pistol grip. Instead of communicating naturally, they took their hand back and put it above their head: shifting and creating symbols to communicate. They read as followed,

“I can not speak verbally.”

It was good the android paired with her was Pride, too stubborn to change her tactics, sensing the other evading her and always just rounding the corner. She’d be caught by her own sin to pursue, even with all her data giving her other ways to approach, they’d follow cautiously and always just missing their target.

“I’ll ignore you swing for now.” She set them down, twirling her spear forward and standing with a strong posture. “Not really but, if you stick with me we can use it to make sure they don’t just shot us.” Sezja circled to the left a bit as the android pair joined and moved opposite of her. “Head is fine, even if they survive those main functions will be destroyed and we can just leave.”

“Crimson girl you’re so mean. You know what I want well what we want, I mean if you both surrender. It’ll be great and fun, I know I’m looking forward to it.”

“Other girl! Are you a girl or are you machine? You know I love collecting pieces of other robotics. I think we’re all here with a lot to gain.” Both androids didn’t seem to be attacking just yet, but there was something off about the whole situation.

Reaching down the android took the weapon and approached, standing over the grounded girl before sitting directly on their waist, their rifle still pointed at them as she nodded. “So you can’t, vocal issues? Here.” From her hand a display with keys appeared, flipping the screen to the girl. “Write then.”

“What are you?”

Japes eyes practically enlarged to the size of grapefruits, watching as the body just took the hit without even any friction of force: just slagging down and hitting the ground, it was very obvious that these people had superior technology. It wasn’t a civilian though, as the body quickly turned black, and into some kind of skeletal like black humanoid with elongated limbs grew into size, and eventually, grew into it’s own death. They thought to themselves, “Fucking Christ.” As they took off in a full sprint down the alley, approaching a fence: they took an unusually steep kneel, before jumping straight up and over the fence. Landing on two’s, they used an alleyway system strictly to travel …

Meanwhile, Cack caught a moment to get away from this binding: but it wasn’t enough for her entire body to get away! Their right foot tangled up, the moment that they did look away; it was assumed that the hit must’ve done something significant, but the sounds of the building withering by those climbing hands: the other must’ve not been too happy about the fact. Throwing her weapon to the slings back as they practically ‘jumped’ a crawl to the nearest back entrance, where a solid concrete cover was provided. Hiding security and safety, they reached into a pouch and took a deep breath- looking down to see what this binding me be doing now that Cack was remaining still. Weapon ready, they listened, and whispered: “Pain Inhibitors neutralize. Why the fuck do I have to get two, could’ve been 1 and this would be over with.”

Mute was in the midst of jumping into the air, when that magnetic like force began pulling at their weapons. Having chosen to literally dolphin dove directly into the manhole. Well, the weapon they held in front of them like handlebars suddenly jerked their entire body into a flip! Unwilling to give up their primary weapon, the dolphin dive ended up with Mute flipping around, center mass slamming down the manhole with legs and hands preventing their entry. The impact was nothing, but being jerked so violently was disorientating, as their body slipped down the manhole and into the sewer: the force of the weapons gravity began to pull them up, and then dragging them across the floor, right back up above surface. They hadn’t even realized what the hell happened until the weapon was quite literally being bright up and into the air for Envy. Blue Androids eyes looking up at Envy in confusion, but soon revolting to scramble down onto their ass- reaching into their side holster for a second chance at neutralizing whatever this is.

Pride focused forward, more alert now that the true form of this person was revealed. Sensors, eyes, and ears all tuned to maximum as they relayed the information to all parties. No doubt setting them all to higher levels of alertness. Though this new level of awareness did allow her to catch something else, the sounds of something or someone moving down into the alley and away. Thus that is were Pride would follow, uncaring of what could be waiting for chasing. Too much confidence in her own self.

Meanwhile Sezja’s sense would trigger as her spell caught the other’s ankle, accelerating her pace to phenomenal levels with minor enhancements. It would almost be like a convergence for Cack. The moment Sezja’s spell burned out, leaving the girl to run. Would be the same moment the wall climbing Android would spring over the ledge. Landing with some vigor as the other who went indoors would kick through the roof’s stairwell access.

While all seemed bad at that moment, it wasn’t over just yet. Also leaping to a halt, landing right behind Cack and tugging them up and to her side was Sezja herself. Their apparent foe who’s eyes were well stirred on the two androids sharing the roof top with them.

Lust reacted with great enthusiam upon seeing both Cack and Sezja. “What fun! Two for one, and one of them is blondie! Its been awhile!”

“While I still have business with you.” Sezja looked at Cack before turning to both androids. “You’ll have to trust me that these girls are worse. So don’t go exploding or running.”

And finally remained Envy, the gun pulled to her hand before the other cut its strap, taking it and turning it barrel right on the scrambling girl, shoving a foot to her chest to push the other to the ground and hold them at gunpoint. “What’re you reaching for? You should hand it over and keep still. Our sisters are all having at it, but we...we can talk a bit.”
