"Bio-organic creatures are pretty horrific. Good thing they don't exist here." Sheva chuckled as she uneasily handled her mini-SMGs.
"Yes, we're ready." Rengar nodded. Sniper grunted. "Who starts first? Shall we tell you of our plan first?"

"Staying still quietly and not trashing my library is the only way you can help me." Patchouli glared at Jack with indifferent but annoyed look. Then she transferred that look to Sakuya and reprimanded her as well. "Were you really not able to keep this man suppressed? You are a failure, as a chief maid."

John couldn't help but lightly shake his head and feel a little sympathetic towards Utsuho's misfortune. As John pulled out the deactivated Energy Sword, he looked at Utsuho and spoke.
"Hold still. This sword is very sharp, and I don't want to cut you.", John calmly said as he activated the sword.
Just then, John activated the Energy Sword, causing a blue, double-tipped blade to erupt from the handle with a loud, violent hiss.
*PSSSSSHHHHH*
After activating the blade, John wasted no time in hovering closer to her and carefully cutting away the bamboo above Utsuho's wings, taking his time for each pole to ensure that he did not touch Utsuho's wings with the blade. Each pole blackened around where the Energy Sword cut before falling to the ground below, and when John finished with the bamboo above Utsuho's wings, he quickly got to work on the bamboo below her wings as well, taking the same amount of time and care as before. after half a minute, the bamboo that was restricting Utsuho fell away and down towards the ground, freeing her.

Takoizu was a little curious about all the items The Higher Power had bought, especially the abnormally large pill. What exactly were they up against? Why would they need such a large pill? Was it even a pill? was it needed for some kind of giant monster? Takoizu had no idea, but she was hoping to find out, preferable before they delved into the unknown.
"So, what did you get?", Takoizu asked The Higher Power in a curious tone and she leaned slightly towards him, focusing on the bag he was holding.

after hearing Volgin's reasons for coming here, she couldn't help but cross her arms and half-furrow her brow. Halsey was many things, some of them negative, and some of them truer than she would have liked to admit, but if there was one thing she wasn't, it was stupid.
"Join the Neo-Yakuza? What kind of organization do you take us for? We know what the Neo-Yakuza does, especially to Characters. We know about your operations, like how you recruit Characters, and if they don't comply, how you subjugate them. After Base 7, we decided to dig a little deeper. Not only do we know that your organization was trying to replicate the SPARTAN-III Serums, we also know about the experiments you were performing in Base 3, as well as its destruction. If anything, your organization is the exact reason why we have an active SPARTAN division.", Halsey said to Volgin in a cold, almost spiteful tone.

"I can move my wings now! Thanks John!" Utsuho, being able to flap her wings now, flew over and hugged John... A little too close for comfort for a married man like John.

John was happy to see that Utsuho was so grateful for his help, but he couldn't help but slightly blush in his helmet as she hugged him and got a little too close for comfort. John had no idea what it was, but there was something that made him feel as if this hug was somewhat uncomfortable.
"*ahem* Uh-heh, no problem.", John said to Utsuho in a slightly nervous tone as he unconsciously scratched at the back of his head.

Eve stopped as she continued to try to regain control. She was having a bit of a difficult time. The Queen's Throne's original purpose was to be used in the war against humans, however the war against humans had ended centuries ago in her world. The only reason why she needed the Queen's Throne was to keep up with the foes that were growing ever so stronger in her world, not to go on a murderous rampage.
The Queen's Throne was too strong though. She could not regain control. "M-Must destroy all humans within vicinity... must-" She said as she paused. Images of her "friends" began to came to mind. Chung, Raven, Rena, Aisha, Ara... and Elsword. As these images flashed to mind Eve began to settle down... this was indicated by the lens on her forehead turning back to a pinkish-blue color.

Jack could see that the crystal on her forehead was changing back to a bluish color, most likely indicating that she was returning to normal. Jack didn't want to risk sending Eve back into a murderous episode, so he remained still, but was ready to doge the Nasod Spears if she threw them. In an attempt to calm her down, as well as to gauge her current condition, Jack decided to ask Eve a question.
"Are you alright? Is the code under control?", Jack asked Eve in a calm tone, taking care not to set her off.

"And who says I was asking you to be on the front lines, you idiot? I'm just as human as you, and i'm here to find out what is causing all this shit. I'm not asking you to fight, i'm asking you to assist me until we hit the source. After that, flee like the coward you are if you want, i won't stop you. But until then, you stick with me, or I send you to the deepest, darkest place I know of where I know for a fact you won't survive. Here, you have a good 77% percent chance of living. Take those odds against what might happen otherwise. Besides, wouldn't whoever you're working for benefit from all the info gleamed from this experience?" The Huntress stated clearly, seriously, and with a tone as sharp as a blade.
Emberlight
Well, various things." HP held up the bag, then put it on the ground gently, opening it. There were 5 pairs of vials of various colors, a dark, somewhat scarlet colored one, a yellow one, a turquoise one, a orange one, and one the color of ice. Next to it was the abnormally sized pill.
Elemental vials. Really damaging and inflicts status upon enemies. He pointed to them in their respective order. "Curse, Stun, Shock, Fire, and Freeze. There's also the pill."

Sometimes when you're driving down a road, a bug hits your windshield. It's ugly and unpleasant, but you just activate the wipers / cleaning fluid and it's gone in a few seconds. It's just part of driving down the road. You don't dwell on it, because that'd be silly. Bugs aren't worth the time.
You just discard their guts and keep on driving.

Eleos stopped for a moment, contemplating things. Finally, he chuckled guiltily. "Heh, guess it's just instinct for me...to hightail it out of a situation when there's a crowd." he shook his head. "So be it, but for the records: I don't exist."

Volgin then fixed his posture and turned his grin into a frown(y face).
"We do it because characters are dangerous. they are constantly known as two thing: a gift from the gods... And a possible threat."
He reached into his coat.
"Ma'am, have you ever heard of the inFamous Thesis? If you 'studied' hard enough on the Neo-Yakuza, you should have. A character can turn to be two ways: a protagonist and an antagonist. Not to mention that more characters mean a higher population, less area left over, more resources taken up and some countries cannot afford that. We offer characters somewhere they can afford to live, not subjugation. Sure, we run tests, but this is a golden opportunity."
He stood up and began pacing.
"When you think about it, there are really two kinds of people. Those cowering and those willing to stand up and take. With the arrival of characters, we just uncovered a gold-bejeweled pandora's box. It's people like them -- people like us -- that make the superpowers of the real world kiss the ground we tread. And once they're done kissing up to us, they want our abilities. The Neo-Yakuza is one of those superpowers, and with the rate we stand at, we may just be able to become so powerful we overthrow everyone else. You can even say that Neo-Yakuza is a nation of its own at this point. There is no denying it anymore. Where we go from there, only two people know: the second most powerful man in the Neo-Yakuza, the Base 1 Leader... And the single most powerful man in Neo-Yakuza, if not the world, the leader of all of Neo-Yakuza."
He faced her, still pacing.
"These are dark times. We already reached a breaking point between America and China, and it's only a matter of time before every other country breaks with their enemies. We, having just formed, are small in comparison to most countries, but we are a country, no doubt. This is a war of economy, wits, and overall power, and every single country wants that, and would go great lengths to achieve the power to grow their countries. Even if it means using us. Neo-Yakuza is simply a means of trying to harness that power. That's why we need characters, allies... Organizations."
He sat back down.
"That's why we've asked your organization to align with us. You can rise with us to power. After all, think about this. Sure, your labs have advanced technology, but at one point you'll run out of funds to support that technology. Then what are you going to do? It's basic human psychology that a human will do things as long as something comes out of it. We get some information on your technology, you get the funds to support and even progress that technology."

"My... Apologies... Miss... But he is a strong one..." Sakuya muttered.
Just then, Jack had an idea. He began slowly rolling with all his might. He was headed for the edge of the floor down to the next level below. As a matter of fact, his plan involved going to the lowest point. At one point, he finally rolled off the edge. He was falling very fast due to the gravity. He formed a bullet dive position and his speed greatly increased.
"This is gonna hurt!" He said to himself.
Just then, he crashed into the solid ground, creating a large crater with a big hole in the middle going deeper.

"Going over the plan would be nice," Snake said.
