Yumi hated to wait. It makes her uneasy, especially not knowing where or what Souffle was up to. One supposes after three years spent with that bundle of joy, she grew attached to the woman... indeed, Yumi could not imagine a life without her. She already lost Cho because of her incompetence... she even lost Cybrionne who sacrificed his life to save the Shining Hope, and the rest of the world...
Cho...
Cybrionne...
Standing over the slope overlooking a great waterfall, clad in a white bathing suit, Yumi peered over the hill and stared straight into the crashing waters below. She had to take her mind off of all this.
She closed her eyes, raised her arms to the side, listening to the thunderous roar of the falls as she pictured herself diving into the water. Then, with one quick motion, she sprung off the slope, twisted her body in midair, and dived into the water fingertips first into an almost perfect, flawless jump. For a regular human being, jumping into such a height with waters coming down at such velocity along with the threat of hitting some of the rocks below would certainly kill a person. Being a cyborg has its privileges.
Yumi swam up to the surface of the water, turned and floated on her back, and gazed up into the air. With all the hussle and bustle of the outside world, especially the hype surrounding the Atlas and Millenium projects, it is almost a miracle that this part of nature would still remain untouched from the artificial world of mankind. Yes, in spite of all that was unnatural, there is still a small piece of life left on the Earth.
WHOOSH!
BOOM!
It happened in a mere instant, but Yumi beared witness to a midair chase. Five blue and white troopers with 6 fin-like wings flew through the sky, barely noticeable from the height she was on, yet still distinguishable. Four of the troopers fired upon one of the troopers, the fifth most definitely trying to escape. Normally it wouldn't be of much concern, as none of the troopers noticed her presence... but this was happening achingly too close to home.
The peace just doesn't last... Yumi thought. Quickly, the Hi Nu Girl pulled her left arm from the water, revealing the small, compact morpher pack on her wrist, and pushed the morpher switch. Electrical discharges displaced the surrounding waters, as her body slowly hovered above the water's surface. Her body began to glow, as her bathing suit disappeared, leaving her temporarily naked. The all too familiar green grid covered her whole body from head to toe, as her armour started to materialise on her torso, forearms, legs, and forehead. With a final flash of energy, the water rushed back in, her transformation now complete. No longer clad in her bathing suit, Yumi is now dressed in her purple and white Hi Nu Gundam armour, slightly different from the original she had worn, equipped with 'only' 6 fin funnels instead of the 8 she once had, and her v fin antenna now attached to a protective head support which covers the forehead, ears, and her chin, but definitely the same, familiar armour she had grown fond of over the years.
"Anyone who dares to fight in my home... will pay..." Yumi seethed, still hovering above the water's surface on her back. Picking up the trail of the 5 MS Troopers, she quickly 'stood' on her feet, and took to the air, following the sounds of combat as she gave chase to the intruders.

Yumi wasn't the only one to notice the fight.
From a nearby vantage point, Otomi suddenly sighed, double checking her armor's systems.
Why is it that whenever I'm supposed to keep an eye on a group, at least one person has to step into nearly every conflict they see?
She watched as the Hi-Nu girl launched to the sky and started after the other troopers.
Oh well, not like the fight is any secret. If she asks, I can just say it didn't look like it was going to go very well.
She nodded to herself, before activating the thrusters on the Gundam Spiegel armor and taking to the air.

Delilah dodged the incoming blasts from the other Nephtis troopers, unable to shake them off. Then again, only the cream of the crop would ever be considered to be part of the Banshee elite, what hope does an injured trooper such as herself have against four of them?
The next thing she knew, she found herself surrounded by the troopers, fin guns pointed at her.
"Trooper B-522... we've got you surrounded," one of the troopers announced. "Deactivate your weapons, and return with us peacefully, or we will have no choice *snicker* but to fire upon you."
No... Delialah thought.
"Well?" the trooper demanded, preparing to fire her fin guns.
"No... not... going... ba - AHHH!!!!"
The moment Delilah responded, the troopers fired upon her with almost execution style, until she found herself falling from the sky, smoke trailing on her armour. She closed her eyes, waching as life faded before her...
CLANK!
Delilah opened her eyes in shock, finding herself hitting the ground too soon. Looking down, she realised that she hasn't even hit the ground at all, but instead, landed into a pair of waiting arms.
"Can you still fly?" a voice asked. Following the voice, Delilah turned towards the face of her savior... and nearly gasped at who she saw.
"Can you still fly?" Yumi repeated herself.
"Uh... I... y-yes..." Delilah replied, testing out the thrusters on her armour, and hovered out of Yumi's arms.
"Good..." Yumi smiled, and looked up at the remaining four Nephtis troopers. "Hmm... four against one hardly seems fair," she added with a smirk.
"You don't know who you're up against, do you?" the lead trooper threatened. "If you don't want your head to be splattered along the ground, I suggest you leave and let us take back our little friend over there."
"Oh, I know very well who I'm up against," Yumi snorted. "I didn't think there are anymore of you Banshees around... but then again, nothing really surprises me. The question is, do YOU have any idea who you're up against?"
"Ha! Hollow words, honey. Then again, it was getting boring chasing that coward... you, however... the thought of ripping your spleen excites me."
"Oh?" Yumi smirked. "Then prepare to be disappointed."
"Tara! Wendy! Take care of B-522! Mika... you and I will play with the slut over there."

Before Tara and Wendy could move to even start intercepting, a messergranz throwing knife suddenly appeared in the side of one of the girl's chest plate, only the thickness of the armor keeping the blade from reaching skin.
"I've got a better idea!" a voice called out, "How about all four of you get the hell out of here before you all die!"
Following the trajectory of the blade, it wasn't difficult to see where it had come from. Otomi's black and white armor came to a stop, both Spiegel Blades at the ready as she stared down the two troopers.

"Great... more b****es to play with..." the lead trooper thought. "Mika, handle the Spiegel trooper. I'll take care of the Hi Nu trooper."
"Yes, ma'am," Mika snickered, and charged after the newcomer, while Wendy and Tara chased after Delilah.
"Oh no you don't," Yumi muttered, and deployed her fin funnels, creating a beam field around Delilah to protect the injured trooper from harm. Using this opportunity, the lead trooper charged after the Hi Nu girl, throwing a strong slash in her direction.
"Hi-YAH!"
*CRUNCH!*
Yumi delivered a powerful right hook at the lead Nephtis troopers head, sending her flying back hard from the blow.
"In case you didn't notice before, I can handle both these funnels and you at the same time," Yumi snickered, much to the shock of the trooper. "Uh... by the way, what is your name?"
"DIE!" the lead trooper came flying back, guns blazing. Yumi shrugged and dodged the attacks, returning fire with her vulcan guns.

Otomi easily dodged around Mika, spinning as she did so and tagging the girl in the back with one of her blades, making a 'tsk, tsk' sound as she did.
"And you're supposed to be elite? Pathetic!" she called out, goading the trooper into another charge...
Otomi dodged again, but not as widely this time, firing one of her nets at close range and catching the Nephtis girl in it before kicking her in the back of the head.
Mika furiously tried to cut herself out, struggling against the wires before Otomi threw a messergranz right into the armor's back, shorting out some of the power and sending the trooper crashing towards the ground.
With that trooper dealt with, she darted after the ones attacking Delilah, singling out the one that still had one of her knives in her chest plate for the attack.

The one with the knife on her armour, Wendy, raised her arm just in time to block Otomi's attack, and began a sword fight with the Spiegel girl.
With Wend out of the way, Delilah only had Tara to worry about, and with the funnel's protection, Delilah began to fight back.
Meanwhile, Yumi pulled out her mega saber, and began duelling with the lead Nephtis trooper.
"I have to admit... you're pretty good," Yumi snorted, parrying back her opponent's attacks.
"Trust me, honey... you'll feel me..." the lead trooper replied.

Zero spent at least an hour at the bar but only had about 2 drinks but had took a nap at the bar for some reason.
"Damnit all guess it's about time I get back to real work..." She glance back down the street and then took off down a ally way near by. ------------------------------------
She opened the special com channle and started talking as she made her way back to her Armor.
"Zero here... I'm headed back to the Atlas project site now... I'll check in at a later time when I know it's safe to do so... Zero out." with that she stoped just after turning a corner to make sure no one was following her.
"Hmm whoever is tailing me is good.... they F***ed up once and almost not enough to tip me off either..."

Otomi locked both her blades around Wendy's swords and twisted, flipping the other girl's arm around as she swung a kick into her mid back.
Wendy tried to counter attack with an energy cannon, and Otomi was forced to break away to dodge, flipping backwards as she did so, kicking the knife free from Wendy's armor and catching it as she righted herself, throwing it right at Wendy's head.
The Nephtis girl was barely able to dodge, the blade giving her face a superficial cut... only to be impaled on a second messergranz Otomi had thrown at nearly the same time. The unfortunate woman caught the blade in her eye and promptly fell to the ground.
"I warned you..." Otomi muttered before turning to check on the rest of the fight.
-----------------------
Dai watched the girl continue on her way, staying just close enough to track her, and pick up snippets of what she said.
'Zero', huh? Okay, now I'm really interested. I wonder who she's working for...
Dai continued to track the young woman, doing her best to keep from being detected.

Only two troopers left...
Nephtis trooper Tara would've had an easier time with Delilah, save for one conundrum: fighting not just her target, but also being blasted by three fin funnels all at once. Busy dodging, and unable to penetrate the I-field, the Nephtis trooper could do nothing, but defend the attacks.
As she continued to fight, she watched with a brief glance her other two comrades fall against Otomi.
"No - ACK!*
With one slash, Delilah penetrated the armour of her opponent, piercing the flesh underneath her chest. With a second slash, she immediately decapitated her head, killing of Tara in two blows.
Meanwhile, Yumi blocked and parried against her opponent's slashes and guns, slowly being pushed back against the Nephtis trooper's aggressive attacks.
"Die, b****!" the trooper seethed.
"My, my... a little too confident, huh?" Yumi smirked.
The trooper kicked Yumi in the midsection, then, pulling the ring off her back, charged Yumi, sending her nearly smashing to the ground.
"You should talk!" the trooper seethed, and came rushing back in, fin cannons firing. Yumi righted herself up, and dashed to the air, avoiding the incoming fire.
"I see you don't suck as much as a cheap one dollar whore," Yumi taunted, firing her beam rifle at the Nephtis trooper.
"DIE!" the trooper hollered, as she went for another charge. The Hi Nu Girl simply shrugged to herself, and lowered herself from the oncoming attack. In a perfectly timed fashion, Yumi threw a quick uppercut, hitting the woman hard in the midsection.
"Still... not very impressive," Yumi taunted.
The trooper gasped in shock, as she felt herself fly out of control. Not one to let up, Yumi then followed the erratic trooper, and, catching the leader, proceeded to throw a flury of punches and kicks, before ending the attack with a two fisted punch to the back. The trooper spiralled out of control, and crashed to the ground with a sickening thud.
Yumi landed on the ground, and loomed over the downed Nephtis trooper, now beaten and broken from the beatings she took. The Hi Nu Gundam girl grabbed the woman by the throat, and lifted her to her feet.
"H-how... how did..." the trooper gasped, peering through her cracked helmet. "W-who... are... you..."
"Yumi Sonchiro," the Hi Nu Girl replied plainly. The trooper was suddenly in wide eyed shock.
"Black... Fox..."
"What's your name," Yumi asked plainly, tightening the grip on her throat.
"Ugh... K-K-Ka...li... OOF!"
Yumi threw the woman to the ground, and glared at the trooper.
"I'm very merciful today..." Yumi said. "So I will let you live. However... cross me again, and the next time, I won't be so friendly."
Kali simply nodded, and slowly, but surely, lifted herself to the air, and flew away. Watching in disgust, Yumi then turned to both the injured Delilah, and to the SPiegel girl.
"Who are you?" she simply asked.

Errr... well, might as well be a little honest. She doesn't need to know everything...
She offered a hand, "Kagenuma Otomi. You alright? I was passing through the area and saw the fight, then I saw you launch after them and, well, I've never really been one to let someone go into a fight by themselves."

Yumi simply stared at the woman, studying her closely.
"Yumi Sonchiro," she nodded, then turned to Delilah, who was down on one knee, gasping in pain. The Hi Nu Girl hurriedly approached the Nephtis trooper, concerned over the woman's well being.
"Stay away!" Delilah jumped, nearly falling over from her approach. Yumi raised her hands and approached the trooper slowly.
"Easy there... I saved you back there, remember?" Yumi said.
"Black Fox..." Delilah mumbled.
"Yeah, yeah, I'm the Black Fox, whatever - "
"Not... going back..."
"Not going back to - "
"NOT GOING BACK TO HER!" Delilah shrieked, then whimpered softly, feeling helpless.
"Not going... look, whatever you think I'm going to do... I'm not going to hurt you, nor am I taking you back... to her," Yumi said reassuringly, and demorphed out of her armour. "See? Now I'm unarmed... and believe me, considering what just happened, and where you're from... I have no intention of taking you back there."

Otomi decided that mock surprise was in order for the situation, "You're Yumi Sonchiro? Well, that makes my job a lot easier... I've got a message for you, but forget about that for now. Just take care of the bioweapon and I can give you the message afterwards."
She gave Yumi and Delilah some distance, reasoning that another trooper would only hurt the situation.

Zero made it back to the place she stored her armor and suited up as soon as she could knowing the preson following her was probably right on her heels.
"Well who ever you are... Lets see how you do against me in armor...... S*** that's cold ><"
With a soft hiss the Armor locked into place and a moment later the inside of her helmet lit up with displays.
"Lets go jerk wads..." She said and walked for who ever was following her to enter the room. ================= ooc: I Stats for her armor will be added to her Bio. Also note I have yet to name her so ^^() i'll be calling her by her code name till I pick one for her >.>

Not exactly convinced, but Yumi decided to play along with her.
"What's you name?" Yumi smiled. Delilah looked at Yumi suspiciously, unsure what to do. "I'm no longer part of the clan... in fact, I fought against them a long time ago... don't worry, I will not hurt you..."
Delilah opened up slightly, though still remained wound up as Yumi approached her.
"I will never return you to the likes of them... least of all 'her'..." Yumi said in a soothing voice, as she walked closer. Once she stood next to her, Yumi leaned forward, and reached out to Delilah. "I will protect you... I won't let them find you... I promise..."
"D... De... Delilah..." she replied, before fainting into her arms. Yumi turned the now unconcious Delilah over, and quickly removed her helmet. "Cat ears..." Yumi stared in surprise, then, shoving those thoughts away, examined the wounds on her body. "Not as serious as I thought, but still need some treatment... I need bandages."
