Class of heroes

[Kaori]

"well what do you think?" asked James to seiko, "I'll keep her" replied seiko, "glad you liked it so if you dont mind miss seiko could you help me fix the classroom, I doubt students would want to stepping on shrapnel", asked James, seiko replied "alright just let me change into....", "Time Mage" said the C3 and with that seiko sped up the cleaning process, "well that wasnt a...." before she could finish she noticed that James looked exhausted, "whoops I guess I sped you up sir" she apologized while James took a sip from a flask in his bag.

[Zorolo]

The door to the classroom swung open as Zorlo popped in. "Howdy!" he said as he looked at Seiko and James. Quickly pulling up a small view screen on his wrist-communicator/super computer, he began to search. "It says its in this room... an interesting piece of technology. Not quite as interesting as that "Muffin Button," idea I had a few months ago, but still not too terrible," Zorlo noted as he looked at them. "I smell time magic..." Zorlo paused and looked at Seiko. Again, her aura had changed slightly. "DId you class change again? And if so... how?" Zorlo asked, pondering. What was going on?!

[Kaori]

"Class change contraption" said James in a raspy voice as he took another sip from his flask, "it just sped me up while she just stood there" seiko nodded to agree and then faced the erdgeist.

Elsewhere....
"what do you mean ghargatuloth has already been summoned?!" asked Mira to fellow inquisitor, "its already been 9 years since it was summoned" replied the inquisitor, "the cults are simply trying to locate him, and since they dont have any leads neither do we", "understood I'll report this to Head inquisitor Nyxos" replied Mira as she went to his office, she found him behind his desk reading a report and then told him of what happened, "9 years? If anything happened back then, then we would have been the first to know, Mira would you kindly check the archives?" asked the Nyxos and Mira simply nodded.

"9 years" muttered yuno, she was reminiscing about how she first met her "sister" all those years ago, the village watchmen found a child collapsed near the gate and brought her to yuno's parents for they were the town healers, she had brown hair just like her but her eyes were a brilliant emerald green, she looked so innocent....

[Zorolo]

Zorlo looked at the contraption and seemed oddly giddy for a moment. "Oh, oh, oh! Can I see it? I'm sure that there is something to be gained from a brilliant mind like mine looking at such a fascinating device. I'm sure there is some way to improve it or something. Maybe allow for dual-classing or something?!" Zorlo asked, looking very excited. Machines and technology always got him into these moods. He couldn't quite help it.

[Kaori]

"look all you want Zorlo but I doubt you could do anything else with it, it requires DNA and well your an erdgeist and I highly doubt gas contains DNA...." muttered James as he slapped the erdgeists hand away from seiko.

[nekoryuuha]

((My apologies for the sudden inactivity. I've been dealing with stuff...))

"Huh...?" Nephilim walked up then after James' statement, looking more closely at the C.C.C. herself. "But that couldn't really be true, right? I mean, although an Erdgeist's body is artificial, it's still breathes and carries out all the same basic life processes that a Human body does. By that, an Erdgeist should still bear some kind of D.N.A., just like any other species of being, even if it's nearly the same string for every Erdgeist made," said Nephilim thoughtfully as she looked to James and Zorlo. After all, this was only a theory. She didn't know if that were the case or not.

[Kaori]

"actually that was so that they could be more humanlike miss nephilim, how would you feel if they looked like they couldnt breath or blink, of course it would be unsettling, plus the body of an erdgeist is made of metals so registering that as DNA wouldnt work and neither would gas" Said the Prof.

"I cant believe it was connected this whole time" muttered Mira to herself as she looked at all the files before her, Drogan was busy gathering the necessary things for the operation, "and get me the gungir James requested it" said Drogan to nearby Inquisitor.

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY SEIKO" was written on a cake that Yuno bought for Seiko, "I hope she likes it" she thought since seiko loves sweets as much as she did.

[Zorolo]

Zorlo chuckled. "Oh, one of those, eh? Well, that's why I want to see it. I want to see what barbaric technology you humans use for such a complex methodology so, using our more useful Erdgesit technology, I can make it accessible to everyone, including Erdgeist. I'm not the genius of my era for no reason, sir. I didn't survive unending battles in the Junkyard, nor have I continued to live completely because I'm 'just like every other erdgeist', as Humans assume, but because I've a mind that contains an unquenchable thirst for knowledge! In this case... creating more and more powerful machines... speaking of which..." Zorlo said as he paused. "I need to get back to work on my energy rifle."

[GamerKale]

Trafalgar had decided on a few very important things. One, these were bloody cultists trying to call on some demonic thing. Two, he needed to warn the school about this. Three, he needed to get his sword back. And four, he had no bloody idea where he was so he would have to do something about these cultists himself.

It took some time but he found the first piece in his grand and extremely well thought out totally not improvised plan of taking out these cultists, his sword. It was someone in some heavy powered armor near the epicenter of the chanting. Trafalgar walked up behind the guy, dug his claws into the man's helm, lifted him up, relieved him of the blade, and cut him in half with it. He took the moment of confusion this caused to make a break for the nearest cultist between himself and the treeline. He managed to make his way back to the trees, with a number of cultists in tow. This is going well. Ok, what now? He lit a tree on fire and chopped it down, slowing his pursuers and giving him enough time to duck behind a tree.

[Kaori]

"James get down!" yelled Inquisitor Mira as she fired a shot his direction and he complied along with the nearby students, "What in the emperor's name are you doing Mira?! You could've killed somebody!" yelled James as he got up and saw that she was accompanied by Imperial soldiers and Drogan threw some sort of firearm at James, "its the gungir class Lascannon you asked for" said Drogan as he was accompanied by captain Vash, "payback time you little wench" said Vash with a smirk, "James she's the demon" said Mira pointing behind James' back, "Nephilim?! But she's a celestian!" Protested James, "No not her the other girl!" yelled Mira, they all turned to seiko and James thought, "I dont see anything demonic about her Mira I think you're all just ex-", "FIRE!" yelled Vash to his men as they shot Seiko, "NO!" yelled James as he watched in horror but their Lasguns simply missed as she rolled onto the side, and yelled "you're crazy! If I were a demon then I would know! My name is Seiko Usui and I have a sister named Yuno Usui, she told me I was born and raised as her sister! What do you say to that!", "I say here" said Vash as he tossed an object towards her then she saw that it was a psy grenade, "BAM!" "ARRRRGGGGHHHHH!" yelled Seiko as the psychic discharge of the grenade was causing her to feel pain, "the only thing affected by such are demons, erdgeists and psykers, and I highly doubt your either of the latter two" said Vash with a smirk as he went forward and kicked her, "take her away lads" said the captain as his men took her away with James and company watching, "how could you even assume she was the demon?!" protested James, "it all began 9 year ago James when your family's estate burned down, it burned down because your father was on the verge of discovering of ghargatuloths summoning and burned down the mansion in order to prevent them to complete the summoning the demon was summoned but not to a full degree, in a way it needed a form so it took on the first thing it probably saw"Said Mira, "why do think she resembles your twin sister Anise so much?" continued the Inquisitor, "but she..." James couldnt find any other words, he looked at the evidence and that was more than enough proof, but why did it feel like they were missing something.....

[Zorolo]

"Hey, humans..." Zorlo said as he held his head, "Let her go! You've got five seconds before i turn you into swiss cheese!" Zorlo said as the Nu System deployed. "I don't take kindly to your kind strolling around with psionic weapons. How DARE you steal OUR TECHNOLOGY!" ZOrlo said as the funnels began to move into position. "IF you set the girl down, I won't kill you... I'll merely cut your arms and legs off and use you in experiments," Zorlo said as his eyes glowed green as a beam saber appeared in his hands. At this point, the grenade had angered Zorlo enough that green waves of psionic energy were rolling from his body, causing his funnels to glow.

Zachary stood on a tree, watching quietly as he tossed a piece of fruit up and down. "God damn humans," Zachary said as he recalled the need for neutrality. "I can't act and stop Zorlo from fighting with those humans. Even with those funnels, he'll have a hard time if they take him out of his body. His psionic powers are great, but humans are tricky scumbags. Such a tragedy."

[Kaori]

"your technology? excuse me but weren't your lot nothing but gas before WE HUMANS gave you all something to inhabit" said Vash as he pointed his ring at zorlo, all of a sudden it let out a squeal and Zorlo found himself unable to move, "Inquisitor due to these turn of events I demand that you give me and my men overall authority to conduct an exterminatus." said Vash, "denied" replied James as he walked towards Mira and Drogan, "now what do I do next?" asked James, "you're on paid leave now James, enjoy it while you can" replied Mira as she Drogan and the soldiers left with Seiko in tow, "sorry about that Zorlo" he said as he reactivated the erdgeists motor functions, "I know what the evidence says but they're still something fishy" he told him.

"well what does it say Mira?" asked Drogan as Mira carefully ufolded the letter James stuffed in her pocket, it read "Imperial army captain asking clearance for exterminatus, please conduct background check... love James", "typical of James to ask, but it is our duty lets go Drogan" said Mira as she and Drogan planned on retrieving certain documents.

"it wont be long now" smirked Vash as he and his men were transporting Seiko in an armored transport, moments later said transport was a wreckage and all its passengers were slain, the only ones missing from there were captain Vash and Seiko.....

[Zorolo]

Zorlo opened up his wrist computer and began inputting data as he looked from James to the screens of data. "I see, that's the trick you filthy humans use!" Zorlo blurted out angrily. "A system shutdown of our motorfunctions... but it also turned off my psionic powers..." Zorlo closed the computer and the sphere of screens and data vanished as he bit his lip. "I'm going to go wipe them out," Zorlo said as he looked at James. "But I need your help, James. SInce you seem somewhat reasonable, unlike the rest of your kind, you can help me. I can remove that little safety switch I have built in so that humans can't use their lame tricks. In that way, I can fight as violently as I want," Zorlo said as he smiled. "Once I finish my Beam Rifle, I'll go about raiding their base. I just need to know where I"m heading," Zorlo said as he smiled sadistically. Now he was excited.

[nekoryuuha]

From behind Zorlo, a pair of soft hands hands touched down gently on his shoulders. "Please calm down Zorlo..." Nephilim said from behind him. "I can understand you're angry. But nothing good will come of your doing this. If you go after them like this, all you'll do is make an enemy of the military and if that happens..." she paused unconsciously not wanting to continue. " Even you'll be killed if they bring their full force against you. I...I don't want to lose my friends too, so please..." She gripped his shoulders a bit. "Besides, we should worry about get Seiko back before they do anything to her, lik-" Nephilim was cut off by a power shiver that ran up her back. It was strong enough that Zorlo felt it through her hand. What she'd--and probably any other nearby Celestians or Diablons--had felt was mass slaughter outside. Not that Nephilim knew that as this was the first she'd ever felt something something so...violent...

[Kaori]

"Nephilim is right Zorlo, if you do any of that you'll not just make an enemy out of the military but you'll also make an enemy of me and the rest of the Inquisition, besides I slipped a note to Mira regarding Vash, I didnt like the way he just demanded an Exterminatus from me" Said James to the erdgeist, "I have a plan but we'll have to skip class today, so..." with those words he proceeded to write "free cut" on the board, "follow me you two we'll take my airship" Said James.

"so that's ghargatuloth? I thought he would be a bit more... Terrifying" muttered the cultist, "the great one has taken this form since it was the first thing he laid eyes on now all that's left to do is to awaken him" replied Vash dressed in cultist robes, "you've no idea how much trouble it took for me to find her, some erdgeist scrap pile actually threatened me! Hah as if he would have stood a chance! I would've torn him limb from limb then impale his head on the tallest spear hahahahahahaha!" cackled Vash with a lot of pride, "very well the awakening ceremony shall take place in two days, till then" said the cultist.

[Zorolo]

Zorlo looked at Nephilim and sighed. The shiver had somewhat unnerved him. "I guess... I doubt feeble humans could kill me, even with their cheap tricks, but I suppose patience is the better part of valor." Zorlo looked at James and shrugged. "I still plan to get my vengeance on that guy, but I do also plan to help save Seiko." The Erdgeist looked towards the outside and laughed. "You humans forget that you may have given us our original bodies, but we've accelerated evolution quite a bit. More... organic and synthetic bodies are being produced. They're still a heavily metallic base, but we do possess a handful of function we didn't possess originally. We do our best to adapt, just like humans do," Zorlo stated with a chuckle.

Zorlo turned to Nephilim and rested two fingers against her forehead and smiled. "Don't worry, Nephilim. While we're on the airship, I need your help. I need you to help me remove that failsafe and with handling some materials I'm bringing with me. I plan to finish the weapon I was working on before. At least that way, I'm more prepared to fight," Zorlo told her with a smile. "Hopefully it doesn't come to that... but it is better to be safe than sorry."

Zorlo's eyes turned towards James and he laughed. "Oh yes, I'd not like to make an enemy of you. The other Inquisitors need to be knocked down a peg though, and this hand of mine," Zorlo said as his left hand began to shine golden, "tells me to defeat them. That man that thought it was funny to use such cowardly tactics... he's dead. Inquisitor or not, you can't stop me if I settle it with a duel. Even humans have some understanding of honor... Still, I'd like to know your plan..."

Zorlo paused. "Should we tell Miss Yuno what's going on? After all, they HAVE captured her sister... or should we not bring her undo stress?" Zorlo asked, looking very puzzled.

[Kaori]

"they're the Inquisition Zorlo, they've been like family to me for as long as I can remember, they would rather help out their own kind such as myself than some random army captain and no messing around with anything on my airship, you can do what you like when we get to our destination" Replied James "as for yuno we could-" before he could finish yuno appeared behind them but instead of wearing her usual teacher uniform she wore a rugged suit of armour, "if my sister's in danger then of course I'll help" she replied coolly, "very well miss I'll allow you but uh where did you get that armour?" replied James, "I was formerly within the Dark hunters guild" she replied with a sarcastic smile, "great, its nice to know we're traveling with a former killer for hire but welcome aboard the rescue party" replied James meekly, "anyway the plan is to go to the state of hochfield within the Imperium and try to issue a summons for a military regiment to aid us, I'll get the Inquisition to lend us M.A.U's if needed" said James to the lot.

[Zorolo]

"I didn't plan to mess with your airship... I merely planned to modify myself and finish a weapon with the materials I have on me so that fighting would be easier," Zorlo stated with a smile. "I wouldn't dream of taking apart your ship... while it was necessary," Zorlo joked with a smile as he looked at Yuno. "And I would have never have guessed you were some kind of professional killer. Still, between Nephilim and I, this fight shouldn't be too hard, right?" Zorlo asked as he smiled at Nephilim. "Still, if we meet this... Vash... person, I'd appreciate you letting me fight him, if you wouldn't mind," Zorlo asked with a smile. This was getting exciting now.

[Kaori]

"fine, but I deliver the finishing blow" replied yuno blankly, "messing around in my airship is exactly what I fear Zorlo, please save those experiments until we get to our destination" said James, "behold my personal airship!".

[nekoryuuha]

(ninja'd...not once, but thrice... Fakou da...)

Nephilim looked over the airship with some awe. "Wow... you came prepared, Mr. James," Nephilim replied before smiling. "Besides you don't have to worry about Zorlo, he means well, so nothing will happen to your Ship by Zorlo's hands," she said to him, vouching for her friend. But thinking back to Yuno's explanation, Nephilim realized something. She was the only one here that could say she had almost no experience killing a Human or other sentient race. Whether that was good or not in this situation hard to say, but she'd do her best, just like always. But she did have one question to ask. "Okay, I have just one question before we leave. What's a M.A.U.?" she asked, probably the only one there that didn't know.
