Maverick Hunter HQ - Alpha Division
As they emerged from the teleporter they found themselves in a base with many Reploid's and characters scattering everywhere, being busy with both their work and preparing for Christmas.
"Okay were here." Zero said as he looked around. There were many Reploid's at computers typing at surprising speed while speaking over personal communicators. They were the Navigators, working with their assigned Maverick Hunter squads who are out doing their work. There was also a few characters and Reploid's that ran back and forth past Nitori, all of them ignoring Nitori and her drone. Some of them said hello to Zero and Nitori, while the others simply walked by.
"Listen Nitori you wait here while I go find Signas. Once I do I'll come back here and get you." Zero said quite bluntly as he walks off in search of Signas...
Taipei 101 - Taiwan | Dusk
It was dusk and Margaret was sitting on the very roof of Taipei 101, the world financial center of Taiwan. She had been asked to meet someone here for something, but she didn't know what. "He's late whoever he is... if he doesn't show up soon I'm just going to leave... but that would be very rude..." She said with a small barely noticeable smirk. She then stood up as she began to walk towards the door to leave the roof, getting somewhat tired of waiting for about an hour. Though when the sun was starting to set Margaret stopped as she sat back down to watch the sun set.
"I guess I'll leave when the Moon rises... I'm giving him about ten minutes..."

"Alright. Be back fast." Nitori said as Zero walked off. The helicopter mini-EVE whirred about, looking for a good place to begin assimilating the headquarter information into her ever-expanding database.
Taipei 101 - Taiwan
"Miss Margaret Moonlight?"
A crispily dressed old man with a black feather tipped fedora asked from behind her. He was unarmed, and his face looked innocent, like those old men you see in the countryside wearing welcoming smiles. He had a briefcase with him: a sleek, velvet briefcase that was triple locked by electronically-inputted password. He approached Margaret with a greeting smile and held his hand out for a handshake. A simple sign to show that he was not here to harm her in any way... not that he can, of course.
"Marcus Barnes, president of Lumiose Inc." The old man, Marcus Barnes, introduced himself. "I'm glad you came. I have a business proposal to discuss with you."

After Zero left the room in search of Signas a lone Reploid female with blonde hair had ran by with a bunch of papers. The blonde haired Reploid was none other than Alia. Once a receptionist at the hotel in Hawaii that Zero, Isaac, and Nitori at one point during Nitori's vacation to Hawaii.
Alia had ran by Nitori in a rush, obviously needing to get somewhere quick like something was urgent. However Alia had tripped over a stray damaged wire that was laying across the floor. When she tripped all the papers fell all over the floor. Alia saw this and cursed a bit.
"I really don't have time for this! I need to get to Douglas right away!" She said as she began picking up the papers one by one in a hurry, paying almost no attention to Nitori.
Taipei 101 - Taiwan
Margaret continued to wait for whoever had asked her to come here. She was still growing tired, and as soon as she was about to get up and leave she noticed Marcus Barnes standing behind her. This caused Marcus to stand up as he asked her.
"Yes? It is I Margaret Moonlight. Though you may only call be Margaret. I suppose you are the mysterious benefactor that called me here?" She said as she looked at the briefcase. She placed her hand in his as she bowed down politely.
"Oh I almost forgot it is a pleasure to meet you Mr. Barnes... now what business are you referring to if you don't mind me asking?"

"Right. Let's get straight to business." Mr. Barnes opened up the briefcase, which stored a little cube brimming with blue light that pulsed ever so slightly.
"This is a Terrazine." Mr. Barnes began explaining. "It can grant large amounts of electrical energy at very efficient speed without significant amount of waste materials. It is the future of electric energy, and my company has created the prototype right here to be sold to a wealthy Chinaman."
He closed the suitcase, looked around for any potential threat, and whispered: "The task is simple, guard me while we travel to Hong Kong and meet a man named Mr. Chu, my buyer. Once we receive the fund from him, I will pay you heftily, name any rate."

Scarlet Devil Mansion
Glaive stood there looking over Jack's unconscious body while Jack's consciousness roamed through Henir's Time and Space. However he had heard the sound of footsteps come up from behind him. He turned around to look at Renamon and Nera. Behind Glaive's mask he smirked a bit as he looked at the two. "Oh it's you two... I'm sorry but I am not an acquaintance of this man, but I can tell you that you cannot speak to him as of this moment. As his very mind is elsewhere currently. Though if you wish I could send you to where he is right now..." The masked man said as he chuckled a bit.
"I'm pretty sure that you could handle where he is. After all you two are quite competent at survival, combat, tracking, and many other things. So I guess you'll be able to survive where I sent his mind to... So... do you wish to see him?"

Margaret looked at the briefcase then back to Marcus.
She was intrigued by his request. She never was asked to be a bodyguard for anyone, mostly her previous jobs involved Assassination missions. Not protecting a businessman. Margaret turned around as she looked up at the sky for a minute.
"I'm an assassin for hire sir. Not a bodyguard. However I will still help you... for five million dollars." She said as she lightly wrapped her arms around his neck. "So... how about it? I'll help you for about five million dollars. I'll make sure that not a single bit of harm will be laid upon you or that device... however if you will be unable to make the payment then you will pay dearly. Okay?" She said in a somewhat cute, somewhat creepy, and seductive tone towards Marcus.

"Five million. You'll get what you ask for, and maybe a little bit more if you do your job well." Mr. Barnes retaliated with a warm smile as he let go of Margaret's embrace. "Now then, shall we-"
"Not so fast, old man."
From the only exit, three oddly similar men wearing tight suits and sunglasses appeared. They were clearly armed, one with a scythe behind his back, one holding a cane, and one with a gun hidden on his belt.
"Poor Mr. Barnes. Joined the Lumiose at the age 26 and spent 40 whole years in the company. Now he dies here, leaving his revolutionary invention in the hands of the Agents." The man with a scythe, obvious leader of the bunch, taunted as the men drew their weapons. "If you surrender the Terrazine now, we may let you get away with your life... maybe."
"Who are you men?" Mr. Barnes calmly asked as the three men slowly approached him. "How do you know about the Terrazine? I thought I kept this project completely secret!"
"We had a little help from your secretary. You can find her remains in your office." The leader with the scythe chuckled. "Seize him!"

"Good... I'll assure you that you will truly be safe in my hands Mr. Barnes. Now if you'll excuse me I'll-" Margaret replied when she saw the three men appear on the rooftop. She listened to the men's speech, and after the leader commanded his two men two attack Margaret smiled as she stepped forward. She drew her two weapons, the La croissant du ange. Dual Barret M82 rifles combined with scythes. She then grabbed the handles which are located on the barrels of her rifles to dual wield them as scythes.
"Actually I suggest that you cease your attack. After all this man is under the protection... of the Grim Reaper." She replied as she let out a soft, quiet chuckle while she dashed towards the two men with her scythe guns, preparing to counter and strike both men... however she was slowly being shrouded in a thin fog.

Before Knuckles could react he found a creature with white fur quickly lunged at him at a high speed. He quickly prepared to block the creatures attack by tossing the Chaos Emerald into the air then covering his face by crossing his arms in an attempt to lower the risk of suffering any harm.
"Seriously!? You didn't even give me any time to prepare!!!"
