Souffle frowned, letting Yumi hold her and holding Yumi back; there was no need for Yumi to be crying this much, even for her. She survived, didn't she? This from Yumi was becoming more common and common, and Souffle couldn't help but be worried by this. How much could Yumi cry? Why should she? "Mmm! I promise! Don't cry anymore, okay, Yumie? Pretty please?" As Yumi kept holding her, Souffle winced, but bit her lip to prevent herself from crying out; after being singed by the missiles, Yumi was admittedly hurting her a little.
At least, fingering the CD carrying case that housed every single Gyakuten Saiban 4 DVD disc save the last one in her other hand, intact despite the explosion, Souffle had another reason to be relieved, although it wasn't much compared to finding that Yumie and Winnie weren't seriously hurt at all. At that thought, Souffle giggled; Winnie was going to be relieved that Souffle probably wasn't going to be able to watch them for awhile without a TV, but when they do buy a new one...
After how I ran over Winnie this afternoon, Souffle grimaced in guilt, we probably won't for quite some time, anyway --- Which reminded Souffle that, if she ever runs into whoever destroyed their house and made Yumie cry like this again, she would show him just how much damage her Funnel Missiles could do in contrast.

"I'm okay, I'm okay!"
It was at a perfectly opportunate time that, like a phoenix from the ashes --- the irony of which was not lost on the former Phoenix Gundam girl --- Souffle leapt up energetically from Kristina's arms, singed at places, but otherwise intact and wearing her large Xi Gundam armor while holding a Beam Rifle in one hand and...something else in the other. Kristina had carried her out; apparently, somewhere between finding Yumie, finding her collection of Gyakuten Saiban 4 discs and finding her way out --- in that order --- Souffle tripped over something. In the air, she hovered a little, stretching and shaking whatever cobwebs remained in her head while looking for Yumie and Winnie and the others, to confirm with her own eyes that they were not hurt.
Then, Souffle sighed, and almost free-fell on her feet onto the ground in front of Yumie and Winnie. Who was that!? Souffle didn't know but, if Souffle had stayed any longer in the room, she'd be cooked. But the pain she felt compared nothing to the relief that she and Yumie were still alive. "Yumie? Why're you crying for? Who was that?" Then, Souffle lowered her head guiltily. "...I...wanted to help you, Yumie, but the Minovsky Craft System was jammed for awhile...I'm so sorry..."
But Souffle only looked after where Kyte left, wincing in pain --- despite not wanting to admit it, those missiles hurt! Some aspect of him seemed familiar and scary at the same time, however, and she couldn't place it at all. Had she seen Kyte's healing ability and been at the battle, Souffle would've remembered something...

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

"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!"

*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. ^^; )

(Actually, Aegis, Rhyhorns are actually cannon fodder if you have a good Grass- or Water-type Pokemon... ^^; )
And watch she does. Souffle is currently holed up in her room full of posters of all kinds (of which this author hasn't exactly thought about yet, so no elaboration here ^^; ) , seated on the soft carpeted floor in front of her TV, the second-last disc (of 8) of the Neo-Capcom courtroom drama Gyakuten Saiban 4 OVA playing on the screen. Souffle grinned. Was this going to be it? How would the last disc go and this last case fare? Would Naruhodou and Mayoi finally hit it off (Probably not on the second-last disc, Souffle sighed)...?
With any luck, Souffle will be out of her room within a week and, with even more luck, she wouldn't have ordered the last disc already.
Indeed, good luck. ^^;

Elsewhere in New Mexico
Kally Lyedalla walked out of the meeting room an unhappy woman --- it wasn't that it was obvious at all from her cold and blank expression, but when one was an experienced Aura Battler...you'd feel it. The meeting didn't go too well, considering that construction over Millenium isn't going any better for the UEG out of it; a request for a budget increase she put out has been denied. At least it wasn't going any worse, however --- if Kally ever took comfort in anything, it was that.
But the shaking, nervous-looking messenger that ran up to her seemed to ruin that for Kally. Dressed in the most impeccable of UEG uniforms, the man was sweating slightly, glancing around periodically as if avoiding Kally's gaze; it probably wasn't everyday one lowly messenger had to deliver a message for the UEG's former top MS Trooper ace, after all, and besides the woman unnerved him.
Kally ignored that and went right to the point, glaring at him. "What is it you want?"
"Pardon me, Major, but there's been something," The messenger replied, trying to speak slowly and firmly. "Urgent new orders --- from Jaburo." With that, the messenger took out a small, folded sheet of paper, handing it out to Kally; Kally snatched it from him promptly, and the messenger barely managed to salute before he broke into a panicked run. Kally Lyedalla unnerved him, indeed.
She was silent as all heck as she unfolded and read the orders, as well.
Convicted traitor Christopher Riley confirmed escaped from Costa Rica base facility; last seen heading to the North American mainland by air. Might have a Trooper Suit, is extremely dangerous. Track him down and rearrest him, terminate without question if he resists. Call for reinforcements if necessary.
And at the bottom was an authentication code and signature --- a signature that belonged to...Kally sneered, crumpling the orders into a ball and putting it away. Him, Kally narrowed her eyes in disgust, I simply wonder why Jerid put up with him before, but if I had my say he would've been dead. She had better things to do in New Mexico, more urgent things than to hunt down an escaped convict, and Kally simply would've protested the orders under normal circumstances --- but Christopher Riley, and the person who gave the order, were far from normal. Riley knew things --- and Kally wanted to ask him what, if she had her say.
Which she didn't but was going to anyway.
The woman laughed mirthlessly to herself. Perhaps Jerid Albright had gotten to her at last three years after his death --- he always was a curious and nosy person, being the former Head of Counterintelligence. And Kally had to admit: if nothing else, she wanted to test Riley's mettle.
If she was accepting this mission, she intended to do at least just that...

Souffle: ...................................... @_@ (Obviously, she has no clue what Delilah just did, but she also knew that only one thing freaked Yumie out in that way. Still, all Souffle could do was...) *5 seconds later* Souffle: ........................................ *15 seconds later* Souffle: ................................................................... *115 seconds later, aka almost-2-minutes later* Souffle: ............................................................................................................................................................ *1115 seconds later, aka almost-20-minutes later* Souffle: .................................................................................................................................................................................................................... *And elsewhere in the world, you can see Yu Kajima from Blue Destiny filing a lawsuit against Souffle for stealing his copyrighted ellipses...* Souffle: ..........................O............okay...? @_@ *That was before Winnie said something.* Wei-Li: Oh, and Souffle?

"Are we going home, Yumie?" Souffle simply asked, nodding at the new people she and Winnie have met as she involuntarily stepped uneasily behind Yumie for instinctive protection. The sight of the battle hadn't escaped her, though; at the sight of the four dead bodies that were in armor reminiscent --- Souffle still remembered, and she was sure Kouji did as well --- of Camilla Diamond's armor three years ago, Souffle could only frown silently. At least, Souffle could take comfort in, Yumie and Winnie didn't seem hurt at all by the fight. "Who're they? Are they new friends of yours?"

"Y---Yumie..." Souffle could say nothing; she couldn't, didn't and, for the moment, didn't want to, just letting Yumie hold her and holding Yumie back as if it was all that mattered to them. Usually, Souffle found that silence was good enough in times like this, and she liked it that way. However, Yumie's urgent tone soon had her worried, and the pivotal question came back to Souffle: What's happening?
Breaking the hug and looking from Yumie to Wind to everywhere else and back to Yumie, Souffle shrugged in confusion, not quite understanding. "Yumie, what's wrong? I'm fine, and I ran into an old friend, too, so there's no need to worry about me. What's troubling you, though?"

"Hey, Yumie's coming!" Souffle cried out happily all of a sudden with her and Wind still in mid-air, and at once she unconsciously sped up her airspeed; Yumie was always someone she could count on to be able to find, and sensing her was very easy for Souffle as long as they didn't stray too far away from each other. That, and she wanted to see Yumie again, ASAP, to tell her who else she found. Her eyes began peering in earnest left and right to look for her 'sister' at that. "Let's go meet her, Wind! She'll be glad to see an old friend!"
Then, eventually, Souffle saw an approaching form in the distance and at once knew it was Yumie. What Souffle could sense was where Yumie was, that she was looking for her; what Souffle couldn't sense, though, was that Yumie seemed hurried about something. Souffle waved in excitement, taking care not to drop Wind accidentally.
"Yumie~~~~! Hi! How're you?" Souffle yelled excitedly. "Guess who I found visiting Cybbie?"

Souffle nodded, and took off once more in the direction that Wind pointed her to with Wind in tow. As she did, Souffle was silent; she remembered that Wind used to have an armor that could fly by himself, that could transform into a plane. And for some reason, Souffle realized to her confusion, Wind wasn't using that. Why? Souffle didn't know and didn't really want to ask, feeling that if she did she would regret it somehow, but Souffle still couldn't help but wonder if Wind ever missed the freedom of flying.
As she and Wind reached the clouds and levelled off, Souffle shook the thoughts out of her head, concentrating on looking out; she could only hope that Wind knows how he wants to live his life, and Souffle could also only hope that if there really was a battle, Yumie wasn't going to get hurt in it...
* * *
"------Fingaaaaaaaaaa!!!"
With a massive clash and the searing of burning red light, it was over; in the middle of a now-crowded street in London, a red-clad John Bull Gundam trooper flew, hit in the chest and beaten unconscious, sliding and reeling back a few meters above and onto the pavement behind him. The crowd gasped and clapped as they saw this, as the light faded; the fight was over, and the victor was apparent.
And that victor of one more street fight, one certain Kouji Kamishima, was smiling at the other side as he stood in his God Gundam armor, looking at his downed opponent. So far, his record had been really good --- and 81 wins to 12 losses in three years was something to feel good about, no doubt about it --- and so far, he was doing pretty well for himself. Spartan, sure, but well; it wasn't as if he needed much to begin with.
But there was one thing Kouji couldn't live without.
Looking around once, Kouji sighed in fulfillment and walked over to his opponent, checking his welfare. He'll live. Not even physically hurt much, Kouji realized, and at once he was relieved. He stood back up. The crowd could only look on as he then walked away and into the crowd, towards that one thing that Kouji couldn't live without: a Mobile Horse, radiant in white and red paint and standing taller than he was, stood waiting regally for him.
"Fuunsaiki," Kouji nodded, smiling; Fuunsaiki whinnyed once, nuzzling Kouji's head. For more reason than one, Kouji and Fuunsaiki were now more than the best of friends, easily family; and for more than one reason the human soul that lived on inside Fuunsaiki had grown really fond of that name, so much that she nearly insisted Kouji call her by that from now on. She was patient; she had many decades to live yet, if not centuries, and she had all the time to watch Kouji grow up and make something even better of himself. "Sorry to keep you waiting. You ready to go?"
Fuunsaiki snorted once in agreement.
With that, Kouji got onto Fuunsaiki's back and, looking back at the awed crowd, waved once with a wide smile. It was time to say goodbye. "Thank you, everyone! You've been a great crowd!" Then, Fuunsaiki pushed upwards and, with her powerful rear legs, kicked her and Kouji into the air. Soon, both she and Kouji were high above London, into the blue skies.
Kouji looked down. "Well, that's all of Europe, really," Kouji sighed. He had been travelling for three years, vowing to fight for happy endings and to inspire others through street fighting with opponents honorably; he had no plans to stop now, but where should Kouji go next? He's already been around the world once, except... "Do you miss our friends, Fuunsaiki?" A soft whinny. "Me too...I wonder where everyone is..."
There was silence for awhile. "Fuunsaiki, want to go back to New Mexico? Cybrionne-sama's grave is there, as is Atlas and Millenium; maybe we'll run into some old friends, too. That'll be nice to see, yes..."

"Y-yes, of course," Souffle replied simply, and gestured for Wind to grab onto the back of the Xi Gundam armor; once he was secured, Souffle took a deep breath and looked once more at Cyb's gravestone, biting her lip sadly.
"I'll see you later, Cybbie. Be well..."
With that, Souffle jumped, and both she and Wind took to the skies in a quick jet of air and Minovsky Craft thrust, soaring into the air and towards Wind's Jeep.

"A strange woman was here just a few minutes ago, acting all weird and looking for Kouji for some reason --- she said she went by that name, Wind," Souffle shuddered a little at that, biting her lip for a moment. "Maybe you've seen her on your way here? Green hair and eyes, purple armor, looks like an oversized purple beetle for some reason? I was just wondering who she is...anyway, enough about her! Me, Yumie and Miss Wei-Li are living just a few blocks away from here, and I'm sure they'd love to see you again, and I'm also wondering if you've seen any of our other friends lately, too. Want to go pay them a visit?"
