Two: [blinks]

That would send anyone that got confused with someone else for a loop, and it sent Two's into overdrive. She came up with her best reply to that.

Two: "Okay."

Yea.

"So....." Anya wasn't sure what to do with that reaction, but it was funny to see the expersion on Ranko's face nonetheless. "Ummm...so what's up?"

Rain was feeling bad for dragging Ranma around like that, so she just shrugged the past few hours off and nudged him towards the school grounds, even though he didn't seem to realize that too well.

"Hey, why don't you go find Anya? I want to discuss the parts I bought with Miles, they might be useful."

She left him near the entry they had left from earlier, and dashed off to find Miles.

Miles was pretty much stuffing his face along side Kyle in the mess hall.

"You think it'll be safe to go back to the castle soon? I was never a fan of this place, you know," Kyle says, inbetween bites.

"Not sure, but I would like to go back to run a few tests," he answers.

~~

Anya walks up to Ranko, who seems a bit dazed, and waves her hand in front of her face, "Hellllooo, you gonna talk or are you going to just stand there like you just saw a ghost?"

Ranma didn't like the fact that he was getting pushed around by someone a good foot below him but...

Ranma: "Uhm...okay...I think I get what you want." ~Sheesh, why do I always hafta be the one gettin' dragged around all th' time?~

He shrugged it off. If anything she had bounced back from the somewhat depressed attitude that she was showing earlier. So thank Kami for small favors...

>>>

Two reeled. She figured she better lay down a response soon before they get suspicious.

Two: "Uhm...I..."

She shook her head.

Two: "I'm sorry. Just was thinking about something for a second."

She continued:

Two: "And I was just walking around. Not like there's a lot to do."

Two was confusing herself, but had a feeling that this person really did know who she was. Maybe it was someone that she cared about? She didn't really know and it was beginning to bug her slightly with the amount of information going through her head about this whole deal.

>>>

Ranma: "But you know...I don't really take a likin' to people pushin' me around like thi...."

Ranma trailed off as he was pushed to the entrance of the dorm the crew had been staying at and had his heart fall into his stomach.

Ranma: "R...Ra...Rai..."

Ranma stumbled and pointed. Damn. Didn't these guys EVER give up?

Rain turned around, slightly annoyed.

"Now what?"

She looked at the person he was pointing at, flushed, and then became pale. She figured Miles would have to wait with checking on the possible potential of the new add-ons and quickly merged them with her gun. Chances were it'd be broken for a while after this, but she was willing to risk that if it was meant to be used against one of these again.

"They just don't give up, do they?"

Ranma: "Y...yea." ~Funny how everyone seems to know what I'm thinking...~

Ranma took a look at Anya and noticed her expression, she didn't know what was up apparently either.

>>>

Two: "Eh?"

Two slightly jumped at the outburst behind her and turned around at the twin accusations coming from the two people that came through the door, one looking remarkably close to what she looked like...wait...she'd seen these guys before...right?

Two: "I...uh...uhm...but I..."

Two fidgited with her words...not exactly sure of what to say at this point other than the fact that she was extremely confused now.

"Hmm, she's not blasting us. Why?"

Rain lowered the gun and tapped it lightly against her left calve, looking at Two with a mixture of confusion and fear.

Ranma: "Uh...maybe it's a trick to lower our guard?"

Ranma shrugged. For all he knew it could very well be, considering who they were dealing with. He wondered why the change of clothes but maybe it was to blend in. His gut told him that people that looked remarkably similar to him spelled trouble.

Course then he seemed to draw it. It was one of those problems with his personality; he seemed to attract it.


>>>

Tracy: "Hmm..."

Tracy was about finished analyzing all the data. It was about what he expected in terms of results. Not a single one of them were capable of beating the crew that they were sent against.

At 5% power that was. Since that was what they were defaulted to. No, he had to give the Prime team a lot more respect than that.

It wasn't like he personally held a grudge against them, far from it; he barely knew of them. But when you're on a science team that was barking orders to eventually study one of them, well, results had to be made and they had to be made quickly.

So why was it that he didn't send them off full-throttle?

Not like anyone knew their potential, or at least many. In fact, he really wasn't in the mood of sending off anyone of them in order to kill or anything, just to retrieve what they wanted and be done with it. His intelligence was made to help, not harm, and he'd be damned if anything he helped create were used to do destruction in this or any world.

So why was he working for this place again?

He shook his head, too many questions, not enough data. It was as simple as that. Why question something if you aren't in that bad of a position to begin with. Although it was probably only a matter of time before upstairs started figuring out that he was stalling. Or...


Amy: "So...why -did- you only send them out at default anyways?"

Tracy jumped. He didn't see her behind him. Actually, he was too busy thinking about too much shit to really care about the presence of anything.

Tracy: "That was only supposed to be a test run anyways. Why would I throw something out like that full blown. If anything, think about the subject we're attempting to restrain; if we show everything we have now, obviously they're going to have an advantage on us if we try this again."

Amy shook her head.

Amy: "No, they already have a leg up on us because of the fact that we didn't go all out and we didn't succeed in getting Prime taken care of."

Amy took a seat next to the desk that he was working at. For as long as Amy knew him, she knew he was one to keep things simple. At the same time though, he was one that never wanted to press the limit. He never seemed to want to go further when an opportunity presented itself. It just didn't seem right to her, for whatever reason. He was pretty much -the- person in charge of something that was overly powerful and he didn't want to use it.

Call her a bit of a power-freak if you will, but she was curious as to why he would never push the limit with what he was given. Even in tests where they weren't engaging anything he never went far with them, only what was required.


Amy: "I'd at least figure that you'd keep their offense and defense techniques up all the way. After a while it was pathetic."

Tracy: "Like I said. It was only a test. I wanted to see if it was going to be enough on defaults. Obviously it wasn't."

Amy sighed and shook her head. Obviously he wasn't seeing this the right way. Rather than push the situation she got up and decided to make her way out. She wasn't going to push him; he was stubborn and she hated that. But she wasn't going to put him in a position where he was uninformed. She stopped at the door of his office and put her hand on the ledge towards the outside, not turning as she made another comment.

Amy: "They're not going to like that you're stalling."

Tracy froze from what he was doing but didn't turn.

Amy: "Just...don't keep coming up with excuses. You know as well as I do that you could've put in a lot more than you did today. Eventually you're going to be in a position of question and I'm not going to remotely be in a position of helping you."

Tracy still didn't move but he definitely had the feeling that this was going to eventually come to a point where she was right. It was only a matter of time.

Amy: "Anyways...don't worry about it. If they bark for another test run or something, you'll know."

She turned and smiled slightly before asking a question on her way out.

Amy: "So are you going to be here all night? Heaven only knows you've been here the entire time since the run was over."

Tracy: "Ah...yea. I should be done soon. Just give me a while."

Amy: "Okay. Just thought you might be interested in the nightlife, since a few people are going to be hitting Vale soon and figured you might want to head in with us."

Tracy: "Vale? That's a bit out of your way, isn't it?"

Amy: "Hardly...considering we have...well heh...we have a lot better transport that most."

Tracy didn't argue with that one.

Tracy: "We'll see. I might be out of here in an hour or so and I'll talk with you then."

Amy perked up on that and smiled a little more. It was good to get him out of here, actually it was good getting out here for anyone period.

Amy: "Great! We'll talk then."

She turned and made her way out, leaving Tracy to his thoughts. Damn it, he didn't need more; he already had enough on his plate as it was.

Tracy: "Hmm..."

Tracy still looked at the E-ARM schematic that was on his desk. They never used it, and it still was in it's experimental stages. He was surprised that Amy never question what was on his desk when she sat there but figured she was preoccupied with something. Only the first dozen were fitted with this attachment, but since they were all destroyed, he didn't have a means of adding on to the newer versions. At least, just yet, they were expensive as hell to make.

He took another look at the next batch soon to be complete. Bio-genetics weren't something he liked being part of, but it did generate some interesting work, especially with creating something from a singular subject, which, in the field of medicine for example, had many uses. It had many uses period; he knew that, and that's what intrigued him...but he didn't like the feeling of playing 'God', morally there was something lacking.

He hoped he didn't have to send another dozen or more out anytime soon and started to compile and finalize his data.


>>>

Two: "W...wait. I don't know what's going on here a...and I was just going to ask this person if she knew who I was. I...is that so wrong?"

Two was getting even more confused. Was she a threat to these people and not know it. Her head really started hurting when she tried recalling and then another blare in her head started to go off as some incoherent jargon started going off in her head.

INTERCEPT...kksh...

PRI...kk...s....


Two: "Ow!"

Two fell, or rather tripped on something behind her and hit her bottom. Nice soft landing though, she turned to look at what she landed on and notice that it was a guy who looked like he was in more of a coma then sleeping. She got off him rather fast, not minding the ensueing headache.

Two: "I...I'm serious. Do you...do you guys know me?"

It sounded weird to say, but all she knew was that she had to know.

>>>

Elsewhere, there was a large amount of bashing coming from the forest just on the outskirt of Vale, towards the northern plat. It sounded like someone wanted a large amount of lumber work done and done fast. Who would work towards nightfall was anyone's guess, but it was enough to wake everything in there.

That was when a gigantic roar was let out of it and the crashing ensued towards the edge of the forest and something enormous found it's way out of the collecting brush, that being the multiple trees that were being tanked by the raging beast.

Whatever it was, it looked pissed, and on closer inspection it had some battle scars that seemed to be remnants of the fact that he'd been through a lot. But a twenty-foot bear-like creature that probably weight a ton or two was not going to be something that was going to be stopped easily.

What made matters worse, after it looked down on the city, it made it's way downhill and made a charge towards its limits.

Obviously, there was trouble headed their way.

Rain eyed Ranma, and just figured she'd follow her instincts.

"Well, we sort of know you, maybe.."

She winked and hooked the gun on her back. It was starting to get rather heavy, she really needed to come up with a lighter design.
Rain shook her head and brought her left hand to it.

"My, my, I really need to focus on the matter at hand. Well, I guess we could call you Ranko while it lasts, ne?"

Rain smiled and hooked her arm into Two's arm, and dragged her in.

"Let those two talk, they need some time alone, let's go grab some snacks in the meanwhile, they never talk that long anyway, but you know..."

Her voice faded out as they went deeper into the schoolbuildings, leaving Ranma and Anya to talk things over.

Anya blinks a few times, knowing that something very important just flew right over her head...again.

Ranma half-glared at Anya for the dumb comment.

Ranma: "Didn't we just get done fighting a buncha things that looked exactly like me? That's gotta be one of em."

The thing was, Ranma was as confused as Anya was at the moment, if not more.

Ranma: "I don't get it...weren't they supposed to be killing us or something?"

Ranma wondered about that and the sweatdropped...

Ranma: "...and Rain just walked out the door with one of those people..."

Ranma looked at Colleen's prone form and then looked at Anya.

Ranma: "Ahm...you don't suppose we should follow her...do you?"

>>>

Two: "What? Who? What? How? Zuh?"

Two was led by Rain to wherever...actually she was being dragged and figured that this was a crazy lady. Just confuse the poor clone further whydoncha.

"I mean that...I know you have clones that want to kill us, but one that doesn't, that seems to act a bit nice, if anything -- sorta like you?" Anya pauses. "Look, excuse me if I sound like a ditz, but there's just so much going on here right now, okay? I'm just not used to leaving my own home, for starters."

Ranma winced at that one apologetically. He had a nasty habit of bringing trouble everywhere he went...and now that cost Anya's home...or what was left of it at least.

Ranma: "Uhm...yea...s...sorry about that. But I'm just worried about all of this. If they're intent on coming after you, then shouldn't we be on our guard, especially with someone like that runnin' around?"

"So what should be do? Keep moving? Frankly. I'm out of ideas right now. Besides, that's not my forte in the first place." She walks towards the back of the classroom and sips some water out of a fountain. "We could stock up on some protect orbs and the likes, if you think its needed."

Ranma: "Heck, I don't even know where to begin, I'm prolly as clueless if not more than you right now..."

Ranma took a seat and bumped up next to the still prone cleric.

Ranma: "I think we just figured out our first priority...getting caster wuss fixed up...you know...he was a prick to haul all the way here."

Ranma smirked a little bit but continued thinking.

Ranma: "I don't know what those things are, or where they could be coming from...so I have no idea what we could do or who we're after. I guess our best thing to do is wait and see if someone tries something on us again...it's better than walking around aimlessly."

The whole thinking was getting irritating...

Ranma: "Do you have anywhere else to go other than here, or is this our best bet?"

>>>

Just outside of Vale, the pissed monstrosity made a charge towards the city limits, only to be stunned by an electric field designed specifically for warding fiends and other such monsters away from towns. Now more annoyed, he turned to charge at it again, only to be knocked back again with nothing...

((Its Vane, not Vale. Unless this comp makes the letters look different than what they really are. But whatever.))

"Hold that though," Anya says, walking back towards Ranma and Colleen. "Can you carry him? Its not far from here, but I think I have an idea."
