Wonderful World Someteen

[23:16]	[GM]Moltar	[As before, the familiar blue car and its occupants are in the north of the city of Breslau, amidst a large conflict which is barely starting. The Major's base is being attacked on one side by a swarm of demonics and on the other by the Colonel's troops; in the middle, another familiar figure faces off with the team.]
[23:16]	Zerena	just got done forcing the team out of the car and has tossed it to the side with her telekinesis. It looks quite beat up at this point.
[23:18]	[Ora]Mia	Ah... her again..
[23:21]	`Katherine	scrambles behind a blown-out chunk of wall as she is forced from the battered and inoperable car, clutching her pistol with both hands.
[23:21]	Raymond	looks at her apprehensively, drawing up his bandaged arm.
[23:23]	`Katherine	's heart races, not knowing how much more of this she can take before her mind snaps. The miles of red tape... The cursed humans who are alive but dead... The domga-spouting Major... And this... WITCH.
[23:23]	`Katherine	shakes her head.
[23:23]	`Katherine	"...this wasn't what I wanted... this wasn't what I wanted..."
[23:23]	Zerena	points at the group.
[23:24]	Zerena	You have what Papa wants. Give it to me.
[23:24]	[Ora]Mia	grits her teeth and has had enough.
[23:24]	[Ora]Mia	No..
[23:26]	`Katherine	's head races. What to do, what to do what to do what to do...
[23:27]	`Katherine	peeks out from behind her cover. Why are they just... STANDING there? She'd call out, but she doesn't want to risk being seen.
[23:32]	`Katherine	"Should've stayed at home... Wasn't worth it... Stupid, stupid stupid stupid..."
[23:33]	[Ora]Mia	FUCK YOU. FUCK THIS I HAVE HAD ENOUGH!
[23:33]	`Katherine	is too confused to think about useful tactics currently.
[23:33]	[Ora]Mia	's eye's blaze with furious anger, unable to contain it any longer.
[23:34]	[Rut]Ilsa	glances at Mia, but remains silent, instead lining up her shot. There's nothing to be said. Life, death... There is no grey, here.
[23:35]	[Ora]Mia	charges at this girl, recklessness has taken her.
[23:35]	Dia	is holding still. Albeit appears calm from the outside, her logic circuit is currently out of order. Once someone starts firing, she would lose it real fast.
[23:35]	Zerena	glares at the petulant girl and her eyes glow with a vivid purple sheen before Mia is suddenly picked up into the air and flung backwards several feet, as if in warning.
[23:36]	Zerena	I won't ask again. Give me the suitcase. Now.
[23:36]	Zerena	glares directly at Raymond.
[23:37]	Dia	intervene, standing between Ray and Zerena.
[23:37]	Dia	glares with an anger of the lioness protecting her cub.
[23:38]	Dia	...!
[23:38]	Zerena	sees Dia and smirks.
[23:38]	`Katherine	doesn't get it... This witch is crazy. Why does she care about the anti-virus?
[23:38]	[Rut]Ilsa	doesn't care.
[23:39]	[Rut]Ilsa	takes a long, long drag of her cigarette and spits it off to the side, eye not leaving the obstacle in front of her. Without another word, the muzzle of her gun flashes. Ilsa doesn't hear the noise.
[23:39]	Zerena	Ah, it's you~ you stay here when this is done. I will keep you with me.
[23:39]	`Katherine	wracks her brain. Too late does she herself as a pointless college girl who had no business here...
[23:39]	Dia	*KA-CLACK*
[23:39]	Dia	readies her gun.
[23:40]	Dia	over my body!
[23:40]	Zerena	suddenly hears the gunshot and turns her eyes ever so slightly towards Ilsa, who can see a flash of purple in her eyes before she continues to turn her head and stare at the bullet she just fired, floating in the air no more than 3 inches from her head.
[23:41]	Zerena	reaches up and plucks it out of the air, staring at it in her hand for a few moments before she drops it to the ground.
[23:43]	`Katherine	hears a gunshot but doesn't look outside of her cover to see what's going on.
[23:43]	Zerena	looks back up and locks her gaze on Ilsa.
[23:43]	[Rut]Ilsa	returns it down her sight.
[23:44]	[Rut]Ilsa	Everyone. Spread out.
[23:46]	`Katherine	did that a long time ago. :|
[23:46]	Dia	's English ears are temporarily deaf. She charges in at Zerena with a savage cry.
[23:46]	Dia	FORDEMACIAAAAAAAA--!!
[23:47]	`Katherine	hears much hubbub. She steels herself and peeks around the wall to see a lot of people accomplishing what seems like very little.
[23:47]	Dia	swings her Kar98K bayonet, but it sails WAY past Zerena, and she trips.
[23:49]	`Katherine	considers shooting her pistol from cover, but... if, if she misses... And it doesn't look like it's doing much good...
[23:49]	Zerena	grabs Dia as she skillfully dodges the clumsy slash and grabs a hold of Dia, pulling her weapon away from her and holding Dia's own bayonet against her throat.
[23:49]	Zerena	turns back to the group and stares at Raymond again.
[23:49]	`Katherine	ideas of pistoling are further compromised!
[23:49]	Raymond	steps back a little, staring back.
[23:50]	Zerena	Last chance. Give me the suitcase. Or I claim this one.
[23:50]	Dia	---!
[23:51]	Dia	struggles, but to no avail. She's not a fighter-type.
[23:51]	Dia	Ray! Run!
[23:51]	[Rut]Ilsa	Ugh...!
[23:51]	Dia	She take time kill me, you run longer!
[23:51]	Zerena	grins as she rests her cheek against Dia's and lightly kisses her on the cheek. Dia can feel a cold chill where Zerena kissed her.
[23:52]	`Katherine	bites her lip and at least braces her shooting arm against the side of the wall. Too dangerous... but, but, maybe...?
[23:52]	Dia	attempts to flail around, not giving Zerena any satisfaction!
[23:52]	Raymond	Dia!
[23:52]	Zerena	makes Dia stop moving by lightly digging the bayonet into her throat, just barely scratching her enough to draw blood.
[23:52]	Dia	Nngh-!
[23:53]	[Rut]Ilsa	grits her teeth. Even if she could get a clean shot off, there's that "thing" to stop her bullets.
[23:53]	Zerena	The suitcase. Now.
[23:53]	[Rut]Ilsa	begins to strafe a slow circle around Zerena.
[23:54]	`Katherine	wishes she could communicate to the others without alerting the magic girl...
[23:54]	[Rut]Ilsa	Let Dia go first.
[23:54]	Zerena	No.
[23:54]	[Rut]Ilsa	doesn't mean anything by the empty offer, but she needs time.
[23:56]	[Ora]Mia	fires a shot but bullet at Zerena's head but by the time Zerena notices Mia isn't there anymore.
[23:57]	Raymond	addresses Zerena to keep her attention.
[23:57]	Zerena	has to stop another bullet from spraying her brains
[23:58]	Raymond	You do know that the infection is a class of multiplying cell, right?
[23:58]	`Katherine	shakes her head. What good would it do... What good would it do?!
[23:58]	Zerena	I don't care about any of that. Papa wants what you have. I need to get it for Papa, or he will punish me. Now give it to me.
[23:59]	Zerena	draws the bayonet further along Dia's throat, still only causing a slight flesh wound
[23:59]	Dia	looks into Raymond's eyes, trying to convey her message. Get out. Run. Dia's life is not that important. Run. Stay safe. Now!
[23:59]	[Ora]Mia	Tch... damn it..
[23:59]	Dia	You... make fear on me... none!
[23:59]	Dia	gnaws on Zerena's arm.
[00:01]	Zerena	makes Dia stop by pulling the bayonet away, then digging it into the girl's bicep, in a place she knows will not cut any major arteries.
[00:01]	`Katherine	's heart continues to race as sweat pours down her brow. It's too insane... Everyone... Useless, it's all useless... isn't it?
[00:03]	Zerena	I am tired of waiting. I will claim this one now.
[00:03]	Raymond	Stop!
[00:03]	Dia	Aaaah!
[00:04]	Dia	is bleeding like a waterfall.
[00:04]	Raymond	grits his teeth, pulling a vial out of his briefcase and twirling it between his fingers.
[00:04]	[Rut]Ilsa	Wait!
[00:04]	[Rut]Ilsa	is out of ideas! She... lowers her weapon.
[00:04]	Dia	grits her teeth, and laughs.
[00:05]	Zerena	leans down and is about to lay her lips upon Dia's own when she's stopped by the sight of the vial in Raymond's hand.
[00:05]	Zerena	...good. Now, hand it to me.
[00:05]	Zerena	Hold it out in front of you.
[00:05]	Dia	Silly... kuh... silly captor... pain is nothing. You kill me... Ray not give you bottle.
[00:05]	`Katherine	finds herself aiming for the witch's head anyways, despite it being pointless. She'll block it. What's the use...
[00:06]	Dia	I know Ray. I know Ray more you know...!
[00:06]	Raymond	Still... All of the demonics have the culture, you know. Why don't you capture one or take a dead on and be done with it?
[00:06]	Raymond	[*dead one]
[00:07]	Zerena	Because Papa didn't say to do that. He said to get it from you.
[00:08]	[Rut]Ilsa	's mind is blanking. The powerlessness is something she can't bear.
[00:09]	`Katherine	watches her comrades falter along with her... There HAS to be a way... something...
[00:11]	`Katherine	mimes with her mouth, though no words come out: {Someone... Tell me what I'm supposed to do...}
[00:11]	Zerena	tries to pull the vial out of Raymond's hand, but he has too good a grip on it.
[00:19]	`Katherine	looks from person to person, looking for a sign. But from this angle it's hard to see everyone.
[00:19]	Dia	's struggle weakens. Though her will is still strong, her blood loss takes a toll on her.
[00:19]	Raymond	Dia! Hold your breath!
[00:20]	Dia	*haah*... *haah*... *haah*... *haah*...
[00:20]	`Katherine	grips her guns tighter. How long can she wait before it's too late, anyways...
[00:20]	Raymond	quickly swaps the vial in his hand for another from his briefcase and pulls his hand back, readying a throw.
[00:20]	Zerena	waits for it.
[00:21]	[Ora]Mia	has been switching spots stealthily looking for a good spot to fire.
[00:25]	Raymond	chucks the vial with all the force he can muster, careful to aim it at Zerena's face. It strikes her cheek, stinging severely and letting out a cloud that is painful to inhale.
[00:26]	`Katherine	has seen the sign. The witch isn't immortal. She CAN be hurt...
[00:26]	Dia	knows what Raymond was going to do, and muster her strength to WIGGLE!
[00:27]	Zerena	is taken aback, not expecting that. She's about to take her revenge and kill the girl in her grip, but she takes advantage of Zerena's initial shock to slip away!
[00:27]	`Katherine	cries havoc and lets slip the dogs of war. She fires, aiming at the witch's head; the only part that isn't blocked by Dia.
[00:28]	[Ora]Mia	takes aim and fires both of her gun at Zerena, it doesn't matter wher the placement goes now..
[00:31]	[Rut]Ilsa	can't believe it, but she can certainly act on it! Her rifle is instantly up again as she empties her clip.
[00:32]	Zerena	scowls as she tires to grab at the retreating Dia, but is then stopped by a hail of gunfire that riddles her body. She stands there for a moment, looking down, stunned, before Katherine lands the final shot right in her head.
[00:32]	Zerena	falls to the side from the force of the headshot, dead. Her body lingers for a few moments before disappearing into a cloud of purple mist that fades away.
[00:33]	Dia	ducks down before she gets swiss-cheese'd.
[00:33]	`Katherine	doesn't wait. In the few seconds of chaos, the adrenaline has cleared her head.
[00:33]	Dia	ow...!
[00:33]	`Katherine	gets up and dashes over to Raymond, not even watching the purple mist anymore.
[00:33]	[Ora]Mia	...too... easy...
[00:33]	[Rut]Ilsa	quickly crouches next to Dia and hoists her up by her good arm.
[00:34]	`Katherine	"Sir. Raymond. Quickly. How many vials of anti-virus do you have?"
[00:34]	[Ora]Mia	gets out from the cover and approaches the others, she STILL looks pissed.
[00:34]	[Rut]Ilsa	Can you move?
[00:34]	Raymond	briefly counts.
[00:34]	Raymond	Three and a half, roughly.
[00:35]	Dia	I... stand fine... thank.
[00:35]	`Katherine	"Sir... If we split them up, we might have a chance of getting one of them out of here."
[00:36]	Dia	make an effort to pull her own bayonet out of her arm. it comes out with minimal blood loss. Medical knowledge, ho!
[00:36]	`Katherine	looks pleadingly, yet seriously, in his eyes.
[00:36]	`Katherine	"I am asking if you will allow me to try and get one of the vials to safety, sir."
[00:36]	Dia	My... bag... get my bag.
[00:36]	Dia	rests on Ilsa.
[00:37]	Raymond	...
[00:37]	Dia	not hurt much, Ray. Fit, fit!
[00:37]	[Ora]Mia	...Its too early to relax.
[00:37]	[Rut]Ilsa	scoops it up, but doesn't stop walking. She continues supporting Dia's weight, lest the blood loss floor her.
[00:37]	Dia	flex. Though she flinches a little.
[00:37]	Dia	No worries!
[00:38]	Raymond	thinks, watching as demonics and soldiers battle a few hundred meters away.
[00:38]	[Rut]Ilsa	Mia's right.
[00:38]	Raymond	...Kat. Where will you go?
[00:38]	[Ora]Mia	..Why...do I feel that.. she is still here... I wonder...
[00:38]	`Katherine	looks at the chaotic battle not far away...
[00:39]	`Katherine	"...Out. One step at a time."
[00:40]	`Katherine	"I... I know I'm not a solider now. It's... not what I'm supposed to do."
[00:41]	`Katherine	"But, I... I can survive. I can do that."
[00:42]	[Ora]Mia	Good, Katherine. I'm tired your uselessness here.
[00:42]	[Ora]Mia	gives Katherine a firm pat on the shoulder.
[00:42]	`Katherine	looks at Mia and makes a joke, though she doesn't smile.
[00:42]	`Katherine	"So am I."
[00:43]	[Rut]Ilsa	nods, allowing herself a fleeting smile.
[00:44]	[Ora]Mia	checks her gun and reloads.
[00:45]	[Rut]Ilsa	does the same.
[00:45]	Dia	is patching herself up.
[00:45]	`Katherine	"Sir... may I?"
[00:46]	Raymond	reaches into his suitcase and pulls out a vial different for the ones he took earlier, passing it to Katherine with a stern look on his face.
[00:46]	Raymond	Here. I'll leave to you what to do with this.
[00:46]	[Rut]Ilsa	You're sure, Doctor?
[00:47]	`Katherine	takes the vial as she holsters her gun. Hope... Hope, within a glass vial...
[00:48]	Raymond	I made several, in case something like this happened...
[00:48]	`Katherine	"...Will the glass hold, sir?"
[00:48]	[Ora]Mia	is a walking living hope... she could care less about it.
[00:48]	`Katherine	is afraid that in the chaos, one mistake could break it...
[00:48]	[Ora]Mia	If need be... I am a vessel of it, the vials them selves do not matter.
[00:49]	Raymond	Even if you drop it it'll hold. But if you hit it a little harder it'll break.
[00:49]	`Katherine	nods, and turns to Mia once more.
[00:49]	`Katherine	"There can never be too many contingency plans, Mia."
[00:50]	[Ora]Mia	Should I fall, you are in an even more precarious situation Katherine... I am more durable than that... vial.
[00:51]	Raymond	looks at Mia, and gently shakes his head. No need to make things worse...
[00:52]	Dia	is all patched up, and is standing besides Ray once more.
[00:52]	Dia	We should get out.
[00:52]	[Ora]Mia	......ok sir.. if that's what you wish.
[00:52]	Dia	speaks English properly, for once.
[00:52]	[Ora]Mia	nods only once.
[00:52]	`Katherine	grips the vial gently. Getting tired of being useless...
[00:53]	`Katherine	"I'd just like you all to know..."
[00:53]	`Katherine	"I'm sorry I was a total bloody bitch."
[00:54]	[Ora]Mia	Recognition... is the first step Kathy.
[00:55]	Dia	You are?
[00:55]	Dia	is surprised.
[00:55]	`Katherine	nods, and bows regally to the lots of them.
[00:55]	`Katherine	"I..."
[00:55]	`Katherine	"I'll see you later."
[00:56]	Dia	looks at Ray.
[00:56]	[Rut]Ilsa	...
[00:56]	`Katherine	makes a break for safety. Which is TOWARDS the battle.
[00:56]	Dia	Ray. you let Katherine go alone? is okay?
[00:56]	`Katherine	moves quickly and with purpose, distancing her from the rest before long.
[00:57]	[Ora]Mia	...running away won't solve your problem either... Nor will living alone...
[00:57]	[Rut]Ilsa	bites her lip. She wants to believe Katherine will do the right thing with that vial... No, that's not true. She wants to believe she -won't-, but thinks otherwise.
[00:57]	[Rut]Ilsa	(... Good luck.)
[00:59]	Raymond	I never thought to force her to stay, Dia. I wouldn't if I could. If she feels she has to do it, maybe she'll find some fulfillment when she does...
[01:01]	Raymond	Goodness knows she needs that more than anything else right now.
[01:02]	Dia	you think good, I okay with it.
[01:03]	Dia	next, what?
[01:03]	Dia	grit her teeth against the numbing pain in her bicep.
[01:03]	[Ora]Mia	...yes.. What is it that you would like to do next sir? There is no right or wrong answer in war, its more important that you did something than nothing.
[01:23]	[GM]Moltar	[pause...]
