*Souffle breaks out of said Pokeball. You haven't weakened her yet (you only threw grass at her...), and using a Pokeball of all the kinds of Pokeballs you can use...*
(OOC: No, I'm saying that the next time Souffle runs into Winnie like a pack of Level 50 Rhyhorns, a good Razor Leaf attack will prevent any damage. ^^; )

Yamiko's boss just finished telling the story behind her and Dai.
"Your a Slut....." Yamiko replied taking a nice long sip of Sake.
[/i]"What was that!?"[/i]
"You heard me boss..." Yamiko said.
The woman in the black dress walked into the small bathing room with a towel for Yaimko.
"If you stay in there much longer miss Yamiko you'll look like a rasin." the woman said smiling and holding the towel out.
Yamiko looked up and stood up. "Yeah guess your right..." She took the towel and started drying off.
"Your gear will be repaired by morning.." she added as she went to get a robe from near by.
"Ok thanks..." Yamiko said.

"I'm afraid I really don't know much about them personally. I'm a field operative, I know enough to keep myself alive but otherwise it's generally better I not know all the details," Otomi replied, "Anything else you want to know?"
------------------------------
Chris landed a short distance from the city. He had to keep moving, he knew the UEG soldiers wouldn't be confused for long and would start to search for him soon. Luckily, he was fairly familiar with their search tactics and would be able to use that against them.
Still, the best course of action would be to get the hell out of the area as quickly as possible. He had an idea, a potentially suicidal idea, but still an idea.
The patrols probably think I'm going to flee into either the jungle, the dock or the airport... not really any other places I can go... so instead I'm going to the base. If I sneak in I might be able to get some sort of ride outta here before anyone realizes I'm there... if I'm lucky.
Running into the forest, he brought up his armor's map and headed for the nearby mainland base.

"Hmph..." Yumi smiled, and turned away from Otomi.
"To be blunt, I didn't exactly take you out here for questioning," she said.
"Oh?"
"I am not questioning as far as how much you know is concerned, and frankly, it probably is better that you know as little as possible," Yumi continued, and turned to face the Spiegel girl again. "What I was really out here for is to see just how much I can count on you and your boss."
The Hi Nu Girl sat down on one of the folding chairs near the deck, and sighed.
"I am certain you know quite a bit about Yamato... about us, for that matter," she said. "It may not seem that way looking at the outside, but to humiliate a couple of Banshees in a fight is easier said than done. Your employer has trained you rather well, certainly well enough to take on the women of the elite. The only question I really have is are you ready for worse?"

Otomi cracked a bit of a grin, "Don't worry about me, as you saw before I'm more than capable of holding my own. If things get worse, I'll just hit back even harder."

"Wish I had your confidence," Yumi chuckled, and stood up. "If you are willing to help, tell your employer that I don't mind having either of you around. Until then, keep your wits about."
The Hi Nu Girl then motioned for Otomi to follow her back into the house.
"We've got coffee and tea in the kitchen," she said. "Help yourself."
***
Later that evening, Yumi couldn't sleep that night... which is always unusual. With the letter she had received, however, the Hi Nu Girl couldn't help but be worried, as she snuggled closely next to Souffle's door. This certainly did not go unnoticed, as WeiLi approached Yumi quietly, and sat down next to her on the floor. The VF-19 girl stayed silent, and stared blankly at the wall, waiting for the Hi Nu Girl to respond.
"They're coming," Yumi finally said.
"I figured as much," Winnie replied.
"No... I mean... they're really gonna do it this time," Yumi said in a muffled voice. "The letter Otomi gave me... though there aren't many details... they've regrouped... they're stronger... and they're really, really... really going to do it..."
WeiLi was silent, as she thought of the consequences of what those words meant.
"How can you even be sure of this?" she asked. "Afterall, it's coming from one complete stranger, who works for another complete stranger, who heard this from a friend of a friend of a friend... it can mean anything. You weren't so quick to trust Otomi, and you even said that the letter didn't have many details."
"Vague and lacking detail for anyone else," Yumi countered. "But the details that are there are very specific to the likes of us. How many refer to Yamato as the 'clan', or the 'sect'? How many know about the 'God of Dragons', or the 'Heavenly Kings'? Or the altar? The lineage? Even these trivial things are unknown to the rest of the world."
Yumi tossed the letter to WeiLi.
"Read it, and see for yourself."
WeiLi browsed through the letter and was momentarily speechless.
"The timing is too good," Yumi said. "We don't exactly have a stable government, and the construction of Millenium and Atlas can go both ways..."
"Maybe it's a coincidence..."
"With the clan, there are no coincidences..." the Hi Nu Girl added. "The Banshees are merely the small tip of the iceberg. They would not reveal themselves so haphazardly unless they're getting ready to strike. Winnie..."
The Hi Nu Girl grabbed the Excalibur girl by the forearm, nearly shocking the woman out of her wits.
"You must be careful..." Yumi pleaded. "I can't let anything happen to you... I promised Cho to look after you, and I don't want you to die... I don't..."
WeiLi shook off Yumi's hand, and sighed.
"Let me remind you you're not the only one who has made a promise," WeiLi grunted, and stared at the floor downcast. "I can take care of myself... and so can Souffle."
"It's been three years since she has fought - "
"It's been three years since either of us have fought in any kind of war," WeiLi interrupted. "All of us has seen hell and came back to tell the story... all of us have a clear mind in this. Except for you."
Yumi gave WeiLi an odd look.
"Nobody else may notice, but Souffle and I know you. I'm worried about you, and I'm worried you might do something stupid to get yourself killed."
"I can take care of myself," Yumi replied in an even tone.
"I'm sure you can," WeiLi shot back. "So long as you're not in one of your 'phases'."
"What are you talking - "
"Just... do me a favour, and get yourself some rest, OK?" WeiLi cut her off. "If we're going to do anything, we need to at least get some sleep... and *sigh* get Souffle off that TV."
With that, the Exaclibur girl stood up from the floor, and gave a reassuring pat on the shoulder as she headed back downstairs.
"'l'll see to the guests," WeiLi said, and disappeared.
Yumi just stared at the staircase that WeiLi walked off to, and leaned against the wall, curled up with her knees bent.
I wish I can be as sure as you are... she thought. I really do...

Otomi was, meanwhile, using her armor's communicator to check in with her employer, "Yes, she got the message, sir... I'll be staying with them for a while, yes... Of course, I know to keep my eyes open, I'm not stupid... Heh, funny you should say that. Yumi more or less said you could come help out too... Oh, right you don't have your armor anymore."
She sat on the edge of the bed and sighed, "I still don't understand just how you know these people, sir, and why you don't want to deal with them directly, but I know better than to ask that... Understood. I'll report in again tomorrow. Over and Out."
She flopped backwards and stared up at the ceiling.
I really wish I knew what the hell was going on...
-------------------------------
Outside in the New Mexico sky, a figure hovered, one clad in green and yellow armor.
Kyte scanned the building one more time just to be sure.
Well, there's five people there... should only be three. Either way, if the data's right then both WeiLi and Yumi are down there. They're the targets, but if anyone should happen to get in the way, oh well.
"This better be the right bloody place..." he muttered under his breath.
He materialized a single missile on his armor's backpack, and set it loose towards the house's front door.

WeiLi nearly jumped as she saw the front door, and the room within explode from the missiles impact.
"What the hell - "
Meanwhile, Yumi jumped from her spot and instinctively ran into Souffle's room.
"Souffle, you alright!?!" she hollered, as she reached out to the girl and cradled her in her arms.
It's them... she thought, shutting her eyes tight. They're here!

Otomi lept out of bed as she simultaneously heard the explosion and felt the reverberation of the concussive force, "What the fuck was that?!"
She scrambled for her armor.
----------------------------
Meanwhile, a voice with a slight British accent started to echo through the house from outside, "Black Fox! Shade! My weapons are here for you and you alone! You will come out quietly and meet your deaths or everyone else here will die with you!"

Kristina had been sleeping on the couch, extremely happy to actually have something to sleep on after many days of traveling, when the missile hit. She was thrown from the couch and onto the ground with a thud.
"Ow..." she mumbled as she stumbled to her feet, pulling on bits of her nearby armor as she did. She pulled on her chest armor and activted it quickly. Pulling on her helmet she drew an anti-ship sword and ran to Winnie.
"What the hell is going on?"

"I'm okay, I'm okay..." Souffle quickly cooed in reply, hugging Yumie; she was fine, and was immediately concerned with Yumie's own safety, as Yumie's tone of voice worried her. Yumie was stressed again, Souffle could tell, and the last thing Yumie needed was for Souffle to worry her even more --- which, combined with the fact that Souffle had switched off her TV and DVD Player long ago, easily could lead Yumie and Winnie to suspect that she had indeed stopped watching Gyakuten Saiban 4 long enough to eavesdrop on their previous conversation. "Are you alright, Yumie? What's wrong? Is it Yamato again?"
Then the next voice called out, and Souffle shivered; Some people knew that Yumie was the Black Fox, probably, but a person who knew both Yumie and Winnie's nicknames --- and was picking a fight with them anyway --- was definitely bad news. And Souffle knew Yumie and Winnie long enough to know what that meant --- and what she had to do, as that was what Cybbie would've done.
Souffle was resolved to protect Yumie even more now, putting her Xi Gundam armor to use. She didn't want Yumie to have nightmares again.
"I'll really be okay, Yumie!" Souffle broke the hug and touched down onto the floor, moving quickly towards her closet for the Xi Gundam armor suit within. "I'll help you! Be careful, okay? And if anyone wants to hurt you..." Then Souffle stood straight up and pointed at where the threatening voice was coming from with utmost confidence, smiling in an attempt to cheer Yumie up. "...Igiari!!! I won't let that happen!"

"Soufle, calm down. Nobody is going to hurt Winnie or Yumi, trust me," Kristina said, entering the room in full armor. "They are some of the best soldiers I know, plus I'm here to help them out."

"Heh..."
If only she were as confident as everyone made her out to be...
"You stay put for now," Yumi said, morphing into her Hi Nu Gundam armour. "After all, it's Winnie and me he's after."
Calm and collected (as much as she can be anyways), Yumi turned to the window, slid open the glass pane, and jumped out of the house to meet the intruder.
Let me make this a little more fun for you... she thought with steeled resolve.

Under his armor's mask, Kyte grinned, "How nice of you to cooperate, Black Fox. Are you prepared to meet your maker?"
He aimed his double barreled rifle at her and prepared to fire.

Souffle could only blink and sweatdrop as Yumie leapt out of the window in the middle of Souffle performing her favorite anime hero's trademark pose --- b-but the suspect has never walked out on Naruhodou-san like this in the anime... ; Nevertheless, seeing and hearing Yumie beginning to fight, Souffle wasted no time and disappeared into the closet, closing the doors behind her and giving Kristina only a passing wave. Once the closet was closed, she began slipping into her exosuit... -Cyb
