(Itโs up to you guys. Iโm good with anything. If Sam wants Chimera to be connected to Terra she can be, but anyone works :3.)
Enix was glad he understood, โHe...Orion,โ she winced slightly reminded of their dead friends, โOrion, heโs not on our side, he...he had powers like hers,โ the context the female gave was her attempt at avoiding the name โHollyโ, โand then...then he touched my arm, and I felt really weak...and then nothing.โ She seemed to calm, only slightly.

(Hay (Hey). Straw. It's a little joke at my house. :3) --- (I'll wait and see what Sam thinks, again. ^^)
Ollie took a few moments to fill in the blanks. Orion... Once known as Zephyr. He knew him from Holly's memories, but this was new. He was about to ask who's power he wielded, but he already knew who it was that she spoke of. "He took her powers..." he murmured, steadying himself against the bed post, as the shock settled in. "He took yours..." His gaze lifted to meet Enix's. It was then, he noticed their different colour. "And your eyes-" Ollie shook his head and closed his eyes. That didn't matter right now. He ran a hand through his dark brown curls. "What does he want..?"

Enix shook slightly, frowning, โI donโt know what he wants, I have no idea. But he seems to possess some kind of invisibility or cloaking, he came out of no where, but I know he didnโt teleport directly near me, Iโm...Iโm pretty sure anyways.โ She didnโt make a lot of sense, but she arched an eyebrow. โMy eyes? What-โ she turned to look at a mirror, noticing the more natural blue color with a shocked expression. โHeโs dangerous. I thought he was comforting her, but I think...I think he may be responsible for her dying, in an odd way. Cyto dealt the fatal blow, but she could come back if it was normal, right? And if my eyes changed, and hers did, that must mean he took her abilities?โ She looked confused for a few moments.

Ollie's hand clenched against the post, his knuckles turning pale. Unlike Enix, he hadn't seen Orion with Holly near the end of the fight. Just thinking about her suggestion of what might have happened made his skin crawl. "I don't know. But if he had anything to do with Holly's death..." He didn't finish his sentence. His hand unclenched, and the anger seemed to drain away. He took a breath and continued in a serious tone, "Moments before it happened..." he paused with a wince. "-her eyes weren't blue. They must've turned when, or moments before she was... you know."

โThen my theory may be correct, either way...heโs guilty until proven innocent.โ She commented, clenching her hand as well. โAnd what about Cyto, what if Orion helped him?โ This was more unlikely, but she was still in denial over 13โs death. However, Roseโs lost lover she mentioned once near the team was named Orion, and if this was the same โOrionโ, then the possibility was greatly lowered. Yet Enix didnโt seem all that upset about Holly, a bit sad, but most of her grief was over 13.

He began, noting the many features that gave away influences from both. "I guess that means we know where 13's body went." Terra then hovered a hand over the large chest wound. "Correct me if I'm wrong, but this looks like a magical energy was used to cauterize this wound, along with regular fire. And whatever pierced his armor must've been incredibly strong. It must've been weakened, fractured, and then the wound opened and cauterized with magic and fire."

(I don't know why, but with Zed's suit, I am honestly thinking Iron Man. XD It'll look different though.) Oh yeah. Going. Zed looked at the time they had left and his eyes widened. "Time to go!" He triggered blasters in his suit, and flew away from the junkyard, staying low to the ground. He glanced back to see if Isaiah was following. --- Blink swallowed with a contented sigh. "I didn't have to look because you said you like it. It works," he explained with a shrug, before taking another mouthful with blissful enjoyment. He didn't say anything about the food, but he didn't need to. It was written all over his face. His personal walls weren't as guarded for once. (I thought of Paragon from the Quantum Prophecy. A little niche reference ;3) Isaiah leaped onto his bike, hurtling away with Karma's speed and staying ride behind Zed. "Hey, this might not be the best time, but you're a sciency guru right? Think you can help me get stronger by figuring out my power?" (I had this epiphany that because he controls kinetic energy, he's only limited really by his imagination. Photons, light energy! He could be siphoning KE at all times honestly, and using it to dish out more destructive blows with light-based attacks. All he needs is a frame of reference and a teacher!) -- "You- I...." She let out a sigh and took another bite. How could she argue that? Regardless, Hornet had another question, something more pressing, to ask. With a glance at her neck, she prompted, "What do you think this is?" The powerful crystal still hummed silently with energy.

Blue led the way up to a vendor, one with surprisingly no line. "I've got connections, I think we can get a discount here." she commented to Toby. He smiled brightly and nodded. "As long as I don't get you in trouble or something."

(It's all good. ^^) "I'll return to my responsibilities. Maybe I'll check on Master on my way." It was a vague answer. Farlow hopped onto the ledge of the building, and crouched there as the scents of the wind drifted around him. "And you?" Masaki nodded "Not sure what your responsibilities are but thats probably a good idea. Though I think you should go and see if Ollie is doing okay. They did lose at least one person that I know of, Holly I think was her name" he said "I'm probably just going to roam the streets and beat the crap out of anyone who decides to do some type of crime as usual."

Blue pushed a few dollars across the counter, then took a few of the rings. "Some say these games are rigged. I grew up on them, so I know how to beat most of them." she explained to her companion before crouching a little to get a better level to toss.

So, they agreed on the cause of death. "The only thing left to do is to eliminate Cyto's body. If this facility, as primitive as they are, is able to reverse engineer his biology, Cyto will not be the last of his kind. How should we disintegrate his corpse?" But, he raised his hand, silencing himself as he noticed something. With little regard, Terra reached his hand into the wound. Tearing apart the muscle and moving bone away, he found an incredibly odd remnant. What looked like a womb was within Cyto. "Take a look at this..." He whispered, awed by how lucky he was to find this. It moved and stirred when he prodded it.

Her eyes skimmed the room in a bored manner, โYes, primitive, this area is. But the area above is not, they prefer old fashioned torture methods, by the looks of it.โ Cryptic words out in the open, she glanced at her partner, โMagic always seemed like a nice bet or-โ she trailed off when he pointed out the thing that looked like the womb. Her eyes widened slightly, before her lips settled on a smirk, โOh wow, Cytoโs a female!โ She sarcastically remarked, before walking closer, โI kind of want to touch it,โ she whispered out, staring at it, as it moved and stirred.

"Cyto is neither male or female, by the looks of it. His regenerative abilities just operate at such a high level that it causes him... to create more than himself." The realization was terrifying. Whatever being was within Cyto, it was the spawn of an incredible evil.
"It deserves life. It hasn't forfeit that right yet. Sins of the father ought not be placed upon the son." A nice sentiment, but was that applicable here? Terra gazed on his companion, gauging her reaction.

"With the cloaking ability you mentioned, I wouldn't be surprised." Ollie's eyes narrowed and he pushed aside a sense of fogginess. It had lingered ever since the battle with Cyto. Whether it was emotional or power-related was uncertain. "I doubt he was working with Cyto. There'd be no benefit. Cyto had a one-minded purpose to destroy everything and everyone," he shivered at the memory of Cyto's eerily catchy song. Ollie groaned and messaged his head. "Why does there always have to be something else...!" He paused and lowered his hands., concern crossing his features. "If he took both your powers and Holly's, could that mean he's going after the others too?" --- "That's not good... Master has had a strange attatchment to that one for a while now." Farlow looked at Masaki when the man explained what he was planning to do. "In that condition? That's not very wise. You should take the day off, at least." --- (I'll respond with Blink and Zed next time, on- no. Just on my next post. Depending on the time I have, it might be in a few minutes, or in a few hours.)

โYou say Cyto is genderless, and then you call Cyto a โhimโ,โ somehow, out of all of this, she was nitpicking still. Not seriously though. Though her face took on an almost saddened look, before it shifted back into itโs normal apathetic look, โYou know of the Curse of the Darkest Hearts, those children didnโt deserve to die, they were good, but they still did.โ She commented, staring forward, their own world was different than the one they currently inhabited. โJust because something is meant to represent evil doesnโt mean it has to. I died originally because of such thoughts, Magic was looked down upon in my kingdom, and thus when I was revealed to have it, I was targeted for it.โ She added, staring forward. Before glaring down, โNot that I care! Itโs whatever you want to do, itโs not like I can do anything anyways!โ

โHonestly,โ Enix started, looking ahead with a sigh, โHe probably is going to. We might have to look into his goals. One Darkest is gone, and 4 are needed...what if heโs trying to bypass that...? But why would he want to end the world?โ
She massaged her temples, confused and stressed. โWe need to do some research, and we might have to reach out. Karma and Kat deserve to know, as do Hornet and Blink.โ She looked to the side, โAnd Orion knows our identities, somehow. Our best bet may be to move, this house might not be safe for us any longer. I know Cassandra mentioned a base she had set up...maybe we could move there?โ

Masaki nodded "I figured that was the case. Don;t know what their relationship was but I'm sure he's mourning her right now. Maybe you can help him with that" He said before he heard Farlow's advice and a little anger seeped into his voice "And what happens if I take the rest of the night off and that damn ice user decides to kill someone else like he did earlier today?" Masaki asked before feeling really stupid. "Oh wait, you wouldn't know about him I don't think."

(If there is any you are particularly interested in, let me know.) --- (I still don't know for sure though. XD The design might end up completely different. The power source will be different for sure.) (Sure! That's a fun idea! ^^ I'll do some research on it and pretend I'm smart.)
The ground began to rumble and the junkyard clattered with the vibrations. A plume of smoke burst from the old fridge door they had just exited, and some of the junkyard seemed to collapse into itself.
"WHAT WAS THAT???" Zed called, as he settled on a hill far enough away from explosions that it wouldn't be affected. "I can't hear you over this noise!" He grinned behind his mask, though his grin sobered when it settled upon the sunken junkyard. It seemed he'd 'accidentally' gone overboard again. He made a few mental notes of improvement. --- "It's a crystal that makes you run fast. What else is there to know?" Blink replied simply, stating the obvious. "I'd be careful if I was you. A weird crystal like that, from a stranger could be dangerous. Who knows what else it might do to you..." That was a lie. If he had a crystal that made him fast, he would likely be racing around the city, enjoying his new blissful freedom. And yet Hornet was still here, sharing a meal with him. Blink's eyes narrowed, as a new thought occurred to him. --- The more he thought about it, the more it made sense. Orion had killed Holly. Why did it make sense? Maybe it was because Ollie simply wanted someone to blame other than himself.
"I don't know," he murmured to Enix's comments about the Darkest Hearts. He'd heard about it, but he still didn't fully understand it.
Ollie nodded at Enix's suggestions. He didn't even bother arguing about Blink. Even though the man was normally untrustworthy and self-serving, he'd been feeling a strange difference in him recently. Maybe the guy really could change. "The more, the better. We'll need to work together, so he doesn't end up picking us off one by one. Or... at least our powers." If Orion's goal was to destroy the world, why leave Enix alive? From what he'd heard, Orion had an opportune chance to do away with her, as horrid the thought was to lose another precious friend. So, why didn't he? What was he going to do with these powers he gathered? Holly's, now Enix's. Not only could he take them, but he could use them as well. None of this boded well. "I could expend some of my energy to keep the place a secret from others, if needed." --- Masaki was a fiery thing with a strong heart. Farlow respected that. "And what if that leads to a pointless death? I may not know of whom you speak, but know this. The one who hunts the predator must be prepared, or he will become the prey."

Masaki shook his head "There's no way I'd get killed by a guy like him. He's a coward that uses cheap tricks to fight. It's pretty easy to find ways around that. But I am prepared to fight him even if it may not look it" he said "There was another reason as to why I came here and it's to find him. He showed up when Cyto started attacking this city so I was hoping that he would be coming back here to see what happened to his comrade but so far it looks like he took advantage of the chaos to kill"
