((well Tria gave her choice of strategy to Svanna and you came up with the revolution going on so it's up to you really. As long as the crime families are deposed and some type of democratic system is put in place with whoever, Tria or the npc Fredrick i suppose, as a 'president' type figure ot be the warlord of the planet I'm happy. I have no particular needs for the battles other then the planet use tech as their main weapon and have cyborg drones. ))

(well this sounds fun :) )

(Well, I was thinking that, to liberate Terminatius, it would be a 2-year Campaign. Island's would fall, one by one, until only the Main-land remains. The final strategy would be for a full assault on the Main-land capital. The Resistance would be backing Tria, and the Rest of the War-lord's would be hitting from different part's of the coast, until the capitol was captured. What Tria does with the Captured Leader's, is up to her.)

(that's fine with me. She'd probably jail them or something XD))

(I assume at this point Mea and her men have been trained, yes? So that would mean there would be assaults coming from her as well, besides the checkpoint where people are taken to be healed.)

(yup :D after this, the MOMENT WE'VE ALL BEEN WAITING FOR SHALL COME. The assault on Hydra-Cordatus -dun dun dun- )

((Aww yiisss~ Mae's all kicky and punchy now~ Looks like she's going to have to exchange her skirt for a pair of pants. >.> don't want to be flashing everyone, now do we? That might be a good strategy, actually. "ohey LOOK AT DIS -flashes-" "GET HE-- ohai ;D" "HEEEYAH! -breaks everyone's faces-" that is so not what mae would do ))

(As long as it's a strong plan, Wolfie's up for it. We gotta make sure Tria is revealed as being fully liberated, though, so that people will support her.))

(alright, I'll start. If I mess anything up, please let me know)

Svanna was on a Dreadnaught, a War-ship from the Island's of Ahenus. They were about an hour's journey from their Destination : The Main-land, the Land-mass known as Argentium. it was Dawn, and Svanna had just woken up, staring at the Dreary planet. Two year's, and she still was not used to this Dead-like world. However, with the Assault on the Costal Capitol city, Their long Campaign to liberate Terminatius was finally about to end. Then, they could finally mount an Offensive on Hydra-Cordatus.

Thing's had heated up the other day, however. Svanna tried, yet again, to convince her brother to Relinquish the World of Sabhado under her control, so she could have him fighting on the field. This lead to Svanna and Solonious getting into a shouting match, that forced the rest of the War-lord's to separate them. Solonious believed Svanna thought he was incapable of ruling his world, which was half-true. Svanna didn't know if her brother was ready to rule a world, despite his success at doing so.

She then stepped down and walked, searching for the Captain's Quarter's. Talking to Tria would help relax her nerve's, especially with the Assault on the capitol city only hour's away.

Solonious was writing in his bunk, recounting the Battle's, and tactic's used in a little Journal. It was first meant as a Memoire, in case he didn't survive this war, and wanted his story to be told. Now, he used it as a reference manual, studying action's of other people, and thinking of the best way's to counter them. He was young, but not a fool. If he'd been trained to rule a World, he would have 3 world's under his belt already, he thought.

But no, all that went to his sister. Solonious tried to shake off the bad thought, but it stuck to him like a poison. No matter what he did, or how hard he fought, his sister was more commendable than he was. It agitated him. He didn't want to be in the spot-light, mind you, but he wanted to be fairly acknowledged as a War-lord. Being treated any lesser was an insult to him, and a general agitation.

Arventino was outside Mae's room, Guarding her Door, and giving Noah time to rest. He was used to long night's, with little sleep, so this wasn't an issue to him. Besides Guarding Lady Mae, he found it funny to watch The freed Cyborg's treat him like a Messiah. He did little to help them, but using bit's of Tech know-how, to lessen the pain of the tormented people.

Arventino would occasionally sneak a peak at Mae sleeping, and smile. He was jealous of Noah, for being so close to Lady Mae. At one point in time, Arventino wanted nothing more than to Protect Mae with his life. However, he felt his calling drawing him towards Vestromas. He did not regret his decision, but he did wish he could've taken Mae with him, as selfish as it sounded.

In the Cargo Hold, Drinking away at a bottle of Aged Argentium Wine, Shekina felt strangely........content. Normally, she'd have to grind her teeth when she did a job, but this job, it felt.....right. It felt good, knowing that she was fighting for a Self-less cause. She was drinking, because she wanted to keep this feeling, this feeling of doing something right.

She stared out at the open water's, and grinned to herself. Nothing beat this feeling, and she was sure of it. Sure, she was scared to death of going up against Killer Cyborg's, but then again, who wasn't?

Tria had been overseeing freeing some cybrogs and working again to perfect the machine that she'd finally able to create over the years time. It was linked to other small handheld devices that could be plugged into a cyborg's central computer and install the Prometheus program to free them. Each device held a crystal with a piece of her hair inside so it could also mimic her magic to release the metal weaving song of freedom. Still, Tria was constantly tweaking the program to make it run smoother and surpass any new safegaurds against it. Of course there was still no way to save those whose souls had left their bodies due to the decaying effects of the various chemicals and machinery but she had managed to extend how far back a cyborg could be created and still be saved. Of course there probably was not many that could be saved left after the two year long campaign, there was mainly only the long dead models as the crime lords began to realize that the younger ones could be saved then turned against them. Tria, however, couldn't bring herself to give up.

Exhausted by recharging the machine with her songs she had withdrawn to the captain's quarters once more. She lay on a lounge chair, sprawled slightly with her eyes closed. Her vivid purple hair lay round her like a cape and her arms were folded under her head. She simply breathed softly, her mind wandering. She hadn't had much time to think or rest really but it seemed they were going to have a moment before they hit the capitol. She couldn't help but wonder how Fredrick and the couple crime lords on their side was doing.... Were they even still alive?

The people of terminatius had been through a lot, would they really still welcome her after this. She had promised only what she could give them but she still didn't understand why the spectors helped her... of course she couldn't deny she was glad for their help among other things. She sighed softly as she tried to push the worries aside and just rest. She had been working non stop for some time, enough that she knew some thought she should rest more but with her people going through so much what choice did she have? How could she rest more then absolutely necessary.

(this is what Mae looks like now. c: and that bit of fabric isn't a skirt, it's just an over belt thing. it's for prettiness basically. It doesn't really hold her back or anything. Just billows in the wind and looks pretty - 3- AND SHE IS 20 NOW. WAT. TWO YEARS. She's older now. /sobs/ MY BABY IS GROWING UP. )

Over the two years that had passed, Mae had gone under a lot of training. Before the training she only knew extremely basic self defense. it was made obvious that she would need to learn how to fight, not only yo protect herself but also other people when they would engage in battle. legion and Noah were her teachers. Even though Noah was protective of Mae, he was hard on her with fighting since he knew how determined she was and that he couldn't be gentle. She had to be quick and pack a hard punch, though it was easy being fast. The quick learner she is, she caught the hang of fighting pretty quick. However, it was apparent she couldn't really wear thick frilly dresses as much as she used to. She had to swap her dresses for a pair of tight pants and boots. She had to ditch her giant sleeves for a pair of tight gloves. Her hair got in the way as well, it being really thick and long. She didn't cut it, however. Just simply wore it up in two buns, a braid over the top of her head, and relaxed pigtail braids. Now she's a strong and fast fighter. Though, Mae also wasn't the only one who was trained. Her army went through very rough training on Vestromas. They went from badly trained soldiers to hardened warriors men with bulging muscles.

Today was the day they were doing their final assault on Terminatius. it was dawn and soon they would arrive to their destination. Mae had been sleeping, however she was starting to stir. Before she went to bed, she thought she was going to have a hard time sleeping. She had been a bit stressed and worried about this battle. Though she must have been exhausted, because she had a very deep and restful sleep. When she opened her eyes she rolled over onto her back and tried to blink away the blurriness. When she could see properly, she pushed her self up and sat on the bed with her legs criss-crossed as she stretched. She looked over at the clock and sighed. It was pretty early, however it was about time she got up. Mae pushed her covers off as she got out of bed and continued to stretch her whole body. She currently wore a pair of white fluffy bloomers and a lacy long sleeved top, which were her sleeping clothes. When she was done stretching, she walked to the bathroom and did her business before she started to undress and change into her regular clothes. She folded up her sleeping clothes as she went over to her nicely stacked fresh clothes that sat on a dresser. She put on her corset, which tied up front, and tightened it up before she put on her vest-top and laced it up, though not as tight as her corset was. Even though Mae had started wearing this kind of clothing a while back, it was still strange wearing pants and showing a bit more cleavage than usual. Mae grabbed her pants and pulled them up, before she buttoned them closed and put on her belts. The first one was long and green, it was almost like a skirt but not quite. It went down to her knees and was green and silver. Although it wasn't exactly necessary, Mae loved wearing it. It was pretty and the outfit without it seemed boring without it. The Mae grabbed her second belt, which was brown and draped and had a crimson red rose in the middle. That was also just for show. WHat could she say? Even if Mae herself wasn't pretty, she at least wanted to wear pretty things. After she was done placing her belts on, she strapped her the gun Tria had made for her to her upper thigh, which was hidden by her belt, and went for her boots. Mae sat down on the bed and placed her foot in the boot, before she zipped it up and buckled the buckle around the ankle. She did the same for the other boot, except she had strapped her knife to her leg before zipping and buckling it up. Mae grabbed her sleeve gloves and pulled them on before she grabbed her other pair of brown gloves and put them over. Mae got up and went over to the bathroom, where she started to fix her hair. She brushed it quickly before she grabbed a few barrettes and chop sticks. She worked her hair magic and managed to braid her hair on top of her head then make two firm buns. Then with the remaining hair, she braided them into loose pigtails that sat past her breasts. Then Mae did her final step and slipped on her silver arm band and choker. Now she was all done. She checked herself out int he mirror and was happy. She smiled before she let out a yawn And walked out of the bathroom.

Mae walked over to the door and opened it up. To her surprise, Arventino was guarding the door instead of Noah. She looked at the male with a surprised look before she smiled and waved to him, her way of saying good morning to people. She figured since Arventino was here, Noah must have been resting. She was glad he was, because they had a big day ahead of them. Though, with him sleeping she really couldn't communicate with others unless she had a pad and pencil with her, which she did not at the moment. So it was going to be a big game of charades with people until Noah woke up. Mae stepped out of the door way and closed the door behind her before she looked over to Arventino again, wondering what to do now. She really only came out to talk to Noah, since she figured he'd be there.


Noah had bee really busy over the past two years. With training Mae and taking care of business and everything, he hadn't had much time to rest. He was grateful to Arventino for watching over Mae while he finally got some shut eye. he had grown to trust the man a bit more now, enough to watch over Mae for a bit. Now Noah was resting, his armor resting in a chair and his sword and shield up against the wall. He was fast asleep, only in his boxers currently. He as face planet in his pillow, his hair a mess and long pointy ears sticking out. His body was sprawled out, entangled in his covers and he was dreaming about giant kitty people with laser eyes for some reason.

((OMG Wolfie's girl is all growed up, too!!! ))

Two years. Aria could hardly believe it had been two whole years since they had started the campaign to free Termanitus. And finally, finally it was almost over. Over the past two years, Aria had grown and matured, both as a queen and as a person. She had discovered new powers and strengths in herself, she had led her people to start accepting some new technology- although it had to be Tria's technology. Her enemies were still rallying against her, but that would come to an end as soon as Termanitus was liberated. She had also finally worked out an agreement with the specters, and was working well with them. She was currently undercover in the capitol of Termanitus. She had been there for several months, getting information and sending it back to the Council, readying for the attack by getting innocents out of the way. It was an underground operation and very few knew about it, but as of that day, all citizens of the capitol who supported the Resistance were either safely gone, or waiting to aid the cause. Aria had been training a small elite force to help in the final strike. Right now, she was looking up at the sky from the pre approved landing point just outside the city. It was a clear day, and Aria was worried that the ship would be too visible, but she knew the others had it covered. She thought about how her body had changed, and wondered if any of the others would notice. It made her blush slightly as she nervously adjusted her armor.

Solonious checked the time, and sighed. It was time to get to work. They needed to make sure their entrance to to Argentium was covered, so It fell upon him to provide it, yet another fact under-looked by his family. Stepping out, and onto the Highest point of the ship, Solonious used his Alternation magic, and Cloud's started to gather. He also raised a Fog, to obscure the Enemy's view.

Nishkara walked in on Tria, drunk off her ass. She then ran up to her, and hugged her. "-hic- hey Tria! How are you sweety?" she asked, tipsyly. "Busy working again?"

Arventino used sign-language, which he had Noah teach him. "how are you, beautiful? Sleep well?" he said, with a grin on his face.

Aria watched as fog started to form, and smiled. It was masterfully done, not so quick as to draw attention- exactly like natural fog, and done at exactly the right distance. She knew Solonius was behind it, because she knew of no one else who could conjure it so perfectly. Summoning her Wild Magic, she called a falcon to her. It rested on her arm as she tied a message to it's leg, containing her exact coordinates and giving the all-clear to land. "Go now, friend, and deliver this message to Solonius please." She requested. The falcon gave a cry of consent and flew swiftly towards the air ship, where it would find an opening specially for message carriers, and through it then find Solar.

Tria awoke with a start as she felt someone enter the room and glanced up. She had started to sit up only to find Nishkara's sudden hug knocked her right back down onto the seat she'd been curled up to take her cat nap. She blushed deeply as she looked up at the other woman, one of two she'd been crushing on for so very long. Not that Tria had ever given herself time to think to much on it let alone show her feelings to Svanna or Nishkara. Hell, part of her was afraid they might find it gross either because she was a woman or because she was cyborg. Still, as she took in the woman's demeanor and breath concern replaced her shyness and the momentary faster beating of her heart.

"I'm fine.... It's you I'm worried about. You're drunk." She stated simply. She eyed the other woman thoughtfully and glanced at the clock. They'd be attacking soon! This was no time to be drunk... in fact it was probably one of the more dangerous... She had never expected such a thing from Nishkara. Then again she had expected differently of herself as well... she had only meant to rest her eyes a moment not actually fall asleep yet she had. She bit her lip and looked up at the other woman a moment, debating if she should help her up but afraid to knock Nishkara over if she tried to stand considering her cyborg strength as well as Nishkara's current condition.

"Don't worry! I only drank 3 glasses of Aged Argentium wine! I should be fine within the hour. "She said, smiling. She then hugged Tria again. "But show me that blush again, Tria-chan! You looked soo cute!! "she said. She honestly felt a connection between Tria. Maybe it was the incident, when her soul touched Tria's 'Spark' but still, it was the most intimate thing she ever felt.

Solonious held out his arm, and smiled at the Hawk. Taking the message, Solonious gave the Hawk a Mouse, and sent it off. "Be off, my friend! May the feather's on your never molt! "he said, and looked at the message.

When the falcon returned, Aria smiled. Clearly, he had gotten the message. She sent the falcon off back to his nest, releasing him from her Wild Magic. Now, all that was left was for her to wait, and hope that nobody found her waiting there. Of course, she had a plan for if they did, but she hoped not to have to use it.

"C..Cute? T..that's silly Nishkara. D-don't you think you should let me up?" Tria stuttered in response as she was hugged. The embrace caused another blush as it seemed slightly........ different then the more friendship oriented hugs she was use to. Well as use to as Tria had been able to become to physical contact anyway, it still surprised her more often then not to be touched without anyone being disgusted. She couldn't help but continue to blush beneath the other woman where she'd fallen on the lounge seat, her hands drifting to touch the woman's sides. She didn't move her, startled by her own feelings. She knew she'd been crushing on a couple women but Nishkara was just so close! It made Tria's heart pound and her breath catch in her throat slightly. Why was it the specter leader was so good at surprising her?

Svanna walked in, and saw Tria and Nishkara. Instead of getting pissed, like she felt she should, she pouted. "Aw, your having fun without me?" she asked, teasingly.

"Your welcomed to join!"Nishkara said, and kissed Tria's cheek.

(sorry it's short, but until momo posts, I can't do squat.)

((nonsense~ apparently there's one thing you can do very well xD tease Tria, who is now a very very confused little cyborg *giggles* since there was an hour according to Nishkara before landing xD)

"F...fun?" responded a rather puzzled lookign Tria. She had hoped to see someone who would pull her out of the confusing, if enjoyable, position but instead found someone who only made it that more embarrassing. They were both here now! She looked between the two, blushing even more as Nishkara kissed her cheek. She looked over as if to ask if she had a say but simply found Nishkara's lips too close to her. Just as quickly as her head had earlier turned she now looked away as she shifted slightly nervously beneath the other woman. The situation just felt so... sensual that even the innocent Tria couldn't help but feel SOMETHING. Svanna's presence only seemed to increase it and she pushed the feeling away, even if the other two women's playful banter had less then clean images come to mind. What was wrong with her? She couldn't seem to control her body's reaction or her thoughts... oh well at least everyone was clothed....

"I ... Nis.... Nishkara... she... she hugged me... I fell...." Tria stuttered as she tried to explain and also understand. There was just too much suggestion in the room! But she was afraid to move... and honestly a little to confused by the situation. She didn't have enough experience to really have a definition of what was going on but certain feelings hung thick enough in the air that she knew they were there. Honestly, she couldn't even say if she wanted to escape them or find out what was going on.. could they both really desire her? And if they did what on earth did that mean? She was attracted to both but she had kept to herself enough she couldn't say she knew them or if their feelings ran deeper....

((just letting you know, posts are going to be scarce. I've lost most of my inspiration to post. I tried for this one since I know you really need me here. Sucky post sucks because suckyness is happening over here))

Mae gave him a surprised look before she smiled a blushed a little. She signed back to him, saying "Oh, don't flatter me. I slept fine, thank you for asking. Have you gotten any sleep yourself?". She was slightly worried that Arventino hadn't rested. Today was a big day, everyone needed to be rested up for the battle. Mae stomach growled softly of a hunger, and she blushed. She smiled at Arventino, looking slightly embarrassed. "I'm afraid I'm hungry. Shall we eat?", she asked.

Noah rolled over in his sleep, his sleep self unaware that he was near the edge. He rolled off of the bed, slamming onto the ground. He let out a groan and whined, unhappy his rest was disturbed. He used the bed to help pull himself up and let out a yawn before he scratched his head, running his hand through his messy blond hair. He knew it was about time he got woke up, so he decided to get himself ready. He didn't do anything fancy, just threw on a pair of pants and shirt then combed his hair real quick before he strapped on his armor and weapons. After he slipped his boots on he shuffled out the door tiredly and closed it behind him. He started walking down the hall way, looking for Mae.

Svanna took Tria's hand, and gave Shekina a blue pill. "Watch, and learn" she said.

Shekina took the pill, then held her head, cussing loudly. "Agh......wait.....what am I doing here?" she asked.. She then saw Tria, and blushed. "Uh......we didn't do anything, right?" she asked

Svanna shook her head, and took her to the next room. She then got all business like. "I hope you've amassed enough Free cyborg's Tria, because not long after this, maybe a week, We're marching onto Hydra Cordatus...."She said. "Cordatus is sure to get word of this before long, So we must race to the Hive-world, and take her down.....We've amassed all the forces we can, Replacing the Army lost at Karstaag........all we can do now is pray, that it will be enough. "she said.

Arventino laughed, and kissed Mae's cheek. "Your too modest, Mae. You are a Diamond amongst Stone's. Any man would be lucky to be with you. "he said, with a smile. He then laughed at her stomach growl. "I guess even queen's need to eat!" he said.

Tria watched the two a moment, still puzzled and still feeling the strange combination of it and desire. So she sat and blushed as she let Svanna pull her away. Her tail flickered slightly as she was pulled over, her eyes briefly calling Nishkara. Should she tell her about the cheek kiss? No, she seemed embarrassed enough. Did that mean that it hadn't even meant anything? Somehow Tria felt disappointed and that just made her blush more. She squeezed Svanna's hand lightly only t have the other go all business. She quickly pulled her hand away, not meeting the other woman's eyes.

"Oh right... I have as many as could be made at this point and who wished to fight. This a list of the groups and their primary abilities." She said simply as she focused on the task at hand and took out a simple hand written list. It had all the notes she thought the various commanders should know, trusting Svanna to organize them best. She was a tech, not a true war lord with experience in battle. She handed over the list and kept her gaze still on the floor, still embarrassed and unsure for what the other woman had seen... and what she herself felt. Now both women were coming to mind in ways that she would generally call..... indecent and made it hard to meet either woman's eye.

Svanna took the list, and scanned it. It was a small number, but it would suffice until reinforcements could be given. Svanna then looked at Tria, and took her chin, making her look at her. "Something wrong Tria? Lately you keep on avoiding my gaze. Did I do something?" she asked.

"N..no.. Nothings wrong. I just...I guess I'm a little confused right now. You and Nishkara...s...seem.... to ...have a strange effect on me sometimes. I guess I'm tired. After we take the capital everything should be alright." Tria stuttered softly. She blushed deeply from the simple touch of her chin but didn't fight it, her eyes briefly bluer from her emotion making her energy flicker slightly. Why could the simplist touch from either of the two women make her heart beat faster like this? Tria understood she was attracted.. she just didn't understand why. A woman attracted to another woman.... surely that was odd?
