<Sandwitches> <Sciencegar> Ankh chuckles. "And to save the world, you create 4 more Greed, is that it? With this 'Eiji' to keep them in line?"

<Sandwitches> <Gulping_> "They've been vetted and trained. They're loyal, trustworthy beings, even if they are... eccentric..."

<Sandwitches> <Gulping_> "But then, I went insane years ago."

<Sandwitches> <Gulping_> "And it's not like it's up to them and Eiji alone, either. I'm not the Old King."

<Sandwitches> <Sandwitches> "I chose Eiji for a reason Ankh.  You'll come to understand it sooner or later."

<Sandwitches> <Sandwitches> "He is not susceptible to the same fate that befell The Old King..."

<Sandwitches> <Gulping_> "Hubris, right? It's always hubris."

<Sandwitches> <Sciencegar> "You'll forgive, me, Dragon, for recalling the last time, and how it was meant to 'Save the world' as well, with a Hero considered inncorruptible leading the charge."

<Sandwitches> <Sciencegar> "You might have forgotten over the last 800 years lying on your horde. I didn't get that luxury."

<Sandwitches> <Sandwitches> "Not quite Kamui..."  Barney closes his eyes.  "I don't blame you for not trusting my choices..."  His eyes snap open. "But I did not make this this choice alone."

<Sandwitches> <Sandwitches> "The Grey Witch was the one who suggested him to me in the first place, after all."

<Sandwitches> <Sciencegar> "Tch! Of course, her counsel is always fine for making sure things go your way."

<Sandwitches> <Sciencegar> "...Whatever. I can't stop you as I am now." He turns back to the Tachibanas. "I guess I'll have to let your new Greeed run around saving things, and defeating the Enemy."

<Sandwitches> <Sciencegar> "But they had better not get in my way, Dragon. I will reclaim my medals, and become a more perfect being. That is my sole desire, and my desire is my life."

<Sandwitches> <Gulping_> "They won't. If anything, they'll see you as their senior."

<Sciencegar> <Sciencegar> "Oh? I see." The smirk is detectable on the other side of his head.

<RickDominated> "Gray Witch...do I even want to know?"

<Sciencegar> "No."

<Sandwitches> "You'll get to meet her, one of these days."  A new voice, that of a teenage girl, calls out form down the street.

<RickDominated> "...and you are?"

<Sandwitches> A figure emerges from the shadows further down the street...  She doesn't look any older than Sixteen or Seventeen.  Her Black hair streches down to the small of her back, and she's dressed in a strapless purple dress that looks custom fit for her.

<Sandwitches> After a moment, a Brown haired yong man in a black suit and tie...  with a sword at his hip.

<Sandwitches> The girl stops fifteen feet away from the group and smiles.  "I am Princess Luciana Lamarouge Leazas, Daughter of Queen Lia Parapara Leazas."

<Sandwitches> (Lore Checks :V)

<RickDominated> "...Queen what of where?"

<Gulping> "Another country, in the same dimension as Zipang, according to my intelligence. That's about all I know, though."

<Sandwitches> The girl blinks once and looks towards the phone, wonder in her eyes.  "...  Is that be a cell-u-lar phone?"

<RickDominated> "...oh, my god..."

<Gulping> "Oh right, Zipang only recently started industrializing."

<Sciencebolt> "Tch! This day just won't end. And in 800 years, it seems all my problems have been lying in wait for me."

<Gulping> "Everything happens all at once, Ankh."

<RickDominated> "Welcome back to real life."

<Gulping> "Remind me to tell you about the night that lead to my psychological breakdown sometime. It's a side-splitter."

<Sandwitches> She blinks and sighs in dissapointment at being ignored, before looking back to Ankh.  "Its rude to call someone you've never met before a 'Problem'."  She smiles, not showing any teeth.

<Gulping> "There was an army, two alien invasions, and a ghost. I didn't sleep for a week afterwards and had to be physically sedated."

<RickDominated> "Ankh. I know Micheal knows better than ignore a lady. Answer her." ...my thats a sudden change in demeanour.

<Gulping> "To be fair to Ankh, he's had a rough couple of days. We all have, I think."

<Gulping> "He did just wake up when the world was yet again facing a possible apocalypse in the making."

<Sciencebolt> Ankh turns to the new arrival. "I apologise, Princess, I simply didn't expect to have the...eyes of the nobility on me today."

<Gulping> "Wait... You're from Zipang's dimension, daughter of royalty... Your dad is Rance, isn't he?"

<Sandwitches> Her eyes narrow ever so slightly and her lips part at Ankhs response, revealing sharp sharklike teeth.

<Sandwitches> "..."  Barney takes a picture of the girl for Kamui.

<Gulping> "...Shit. She's legally part of the Ikari family."

<Gulping> The words tumble out of Kamui's mouth before his brain can stop them.

<Sandwitches> "... The who?"  She seems surprised at Kamuis response.

<Sandwitches> "I believe the voice means one of Japans New Empresses.  One of them had the Surname Ikari."

<Sandwitches> The young man beside her responds.*

<Gulping> "You're Rei Ikari's sister-in-law."

<RickDominated> "...dear god I don't miss all this...it's why I ran off to my own corner of the place..."

<Sciencebolt> "I must say, I am curious, why all these people are showing up, coming from the Land of Demons. If there truly are all these nations there."

<Sandwitches> "Because My mother, while quite devious...  Seems to be doing quite poorly in her attempts to secure an alliance with a Nation of this land.  So I have decided to take matters into my own hands."  The Toothy grin grows.  "Once I have an alliance secured, everything shall fall into place."

<Gulping> "...I don't recall receiving any emmisaries from Leazas."

<RickDominated> "...where are you trying to mosey up with?

<Sandwitches> "My mother has been attempting to forge an alliance with a group known as the "North American Union"...  I intend to approach the groups that could use some...  Additional Support in a couple of ways I may be able to help."

<RickDominated> "...like what?"

<Gulping> "She was trying to get in contact with Koff?"

<Sandwitches> "Yes.  He was less than interested, due to the costs that would be needed to open a gate between Leazus and North America."

<Gulping> "Yeah, that sounds like Koff. He's generally a pretty conservative thinker, and the NAU is mostly focused on its own interests, as a rule."

<Gulping> "He might have wanted to do it, but that'd mean justifying it to the rest of the government."

<Gulping> "Which is hard, considering that the NAU still mostly works like the pre-Impact United States."

<RickDominated> "At least they know how to treat the gun owners..."

<Gulping> Kamui would make a remark about her not actually needing them, but this is Kurara. So he does not.

<Sandwitches> She nods.  "I suspected as much.  I've taken the time to learn about someof the nations here...  which is why we are here."

<Gulping> "Looking to talk to the Empire and Luna?"

<RickDominated> Theres a tiny twitch to the True Ancestor's Eye.

<Gulping> "And well... Everyone except the fucking TPA?"

<Sandwitches> She nods.  "And what better way...  than to show you what a country like mine is capable of.  If we can catch the Eye of the Dinosaur Emperor, of one of the Queens of the moon...  Or even of the Chairwoman of the Earth Sphere...  It would give us just the traction we need."

<Gulping> "Just introduce yourself as Rance's daughter. That'll get you farther than your title."

<Sandwitches> "...  I would prefer to not use my...  Fathers... Reputation.  Leazus needs to be able to stand on its own, without relying on someone like him to secure our alliances." she looks to the young man beside her.  "Besides...  We have our own way to prove ourselves."

<Sciencebolt> "What would that be?"

<Sandwitches> "..."  The young man takes a step forward.  "The same way all warriors in this world prove themselves."

<Sciencebolt> "....With swords?" Ankh looks worried again.

<Sandwitches> "No."  he snaps his fingers...  and a white and gold Arm Slave appears behind the pair, Lucinas grin growing as her knight reveals his weapon.  "With this."

<RickDominated> "...You didn't know what a Cellphone was, but you don't seem unfamilar with a Mecha?"

<Gulping_> "Barn, photo."

<Sciencebolt> Ankh regards the white gold giant. "....I'm not sure theres much difference."

<Sandwitches> Barney takes a picture of the Machine.

<Gulping_> "Pretty ornate Arm Slave. Can it generate an energy blast capable of tearing the torso off something more than five times its size out of fucking nothing?"

<Sandwitches> "This behemoth is unique.  There is nothing else like it back in my world...  And No, It lacks Weaponry such as that..."

<Sandwitches> "For now."  The yong man finishes.

<Gulping_> "Well, if you want to prove yourselves, guess what you'll be going after?"

<Gulping_> "...The answer is a machine that CAN do that. It's a good thing you've said hello to your coworkers already, Princess and Mr...?"

<Sandwitches> "Suzaku Kurusu."  Is his answer.

<Gulping_> "Zipang native?"

<Sandwitches> "... Its complicated."

<Gulping_> "...So, you're Rance's kid too?"

<Sandwitches> "No.  No.  *NO*."

<Gulping_> "Ah. Sorry to presume."

<Gulping_> "...You know what's gonna be hilarious in a thousand years? Trying to find out how many people can actually trace their ancestry back to Rance. That's going to be a blast."

<RickDominated> "I'm related to Ghengis Khan." Kurara says offhand.

<Gulping_> "Yes, just like that."

<Gulping_> "Except I'm pretty sure Rance's number is going to be higher than .5%."

<Gulping_> *siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiip*

<RickDominated> "...I'm not sure wether to be amazed or disgusted."

<Gulping_> "He's the only person to have been brought before the world court on rape charges. He got off."

<Gulping_> "In no small part because the judge did."

<Sandwitches> "And thus you see why I prefer to not be associated with him."

<RickDominated> Kurara looks about to say something, but she goes into a coughing fit.

<Gulping_> "There's actually a subsection in the UES charter that Akiha and Rance aren't allowed to be in the same room."

<RickDominated> Or maybe it's retching. Hard to tell.

<Sciencebolt> "...It would indeed seem that little Temujin's legacy is still strong in the world."

<Gulping_> "Ghenghis Khan's success was the result of his political and military genius. Rance's is more in the fact that he can make a woman orgasm multiple times per minute."

<Sciencebolt> "...Aren't we straying off the topic a little?"

<Gulping_> "Wildly."

<RickDominated> Kurara raises up a finger...puts it down...and walks over to the Arm Slave, past the duo. *Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang* goes her head.

<Gulping_> *siiiiiiiiip*

<Gulping_> "Welcome back, scotch."

<Sandwitches> "..."

<Sandwitches> "..."

<Sandwitches> Both the Girl and her companion just kind of... stare at the Blue haired woman smashing her head into the machines leg...

<Sciencebolt> "We were discussing the coming of the Princess and her Knight to the Earth from the land of Demons, to forge alliances and show their strength."

<RickDominated> "....it's Durable! I'm* Bang* Not *Bang* Even. *Bang* Denting it."

<Gulping_> "And they can do that by helping you and the rest of my sister's team bring me the head of Leonard Testarossa."

<Gulping_> "And finding the other Greeed before they get themselves killed."

<Gulping_> "And the other various niggling things I can't deal with myself because I have an Empire to run and a potential war to deal with."

<Sciencebolt> "Of course, your highness."

<Gulping_> "Just call me Kamui, please."

<Sciencebolt> "Gladly."

<Gulping_> "Thank you, Ankh."

<Sandwitches> "..."  the girl slowly nods.  "You will put me in contact with this...  team?"

<Gulping_> "Well, it's still getting off the ground. I literally just had it formed yesterday, honestly. And as for being in contact with them... They're around you right now."

<Gulping_> "Well, some of them at least."

<RickDominated> "I'm one."

<Sandwitches> "..."  Both Suzaku and Luciana look over Kurara.  "Are you done?"

<RickDominated> "Yes."

<Gulping_> Kamui would say something about the Arm Slave giving in before Kurara's skull, but he has a very lovely family to see to.

<RickDominated> Her blood red eyes howver still single him out in a look that sends icewater down his extremitites.

<Gulping_> Kamui isn't present, but that traitorous bastard Barney takes a photo so he gets the full experience.

<Gulping_> *THUMP*
