Instead of posting all my Chapters here, I've instead provided a summary. D:
And an archive if you actually want to read it all. D:
Links lead to Gaia. So if you have a personal hate of that site back away now.
This story, I guess, is kinda/sorta technically a fanfiction (maybe?). But really, only names were pulled from avatars. Not personalities, no story, no nothing. Just names. And even then a lot of names have been changed. So I don't know, really. >>;
STORY/HISTORY
Dexterity. A thriving metropolis. Its borders are adorned with walls. Broken down and riddled with decay, but walls nonetheless. Dexterity was the city in times past where the cruelest of the cruel were thrown and imprisoned. Since those times, the culture here has been different. Outsiders can come in, but they don't often get out. Murders are an everyday occurance and the Bill of Rights has a disclaimer. Standard law does not apply here, and the population is in the triple digits.
Schools have martial arts classes, and it is a live or let die environment for those who don't learn fast enough. A strange phenomenon has begun in Dexterity, though these days is not unique to the city. Citizens have "Resonance Souls" or "Rez". Not everyone is born with a Rez, but those who aren't are often killed off quickly.
Rez are a special power resonating from the user's soul. No two Rez are the same, as there are no duplicate souls. These powers of the Soul are not limited to a user's bodily strength or mental capacity. A person could be a short, shy individual and possess a powerful Rez. Likewise, a skilled fighter can have a pathetic by comparison Rez. How pathetic or not a Rez is, however, is up to the beholder...

CURRENT SUMMARY
In case you don't want to read up until the point I need help with, here's a really, really short run-down of what's happened so far:
Q is a sniper and has shot Tali in the head. Normally quick to revive herself like a pheonix, for some reason she hasn't done so yet. Edmond and Q(who live together) have conspired to find a way to kill Tali for good. Sim and Q went to kidnap the unconscious girl(Tali), but Q was able to get her first.
Q went back to the castle with the girl. Opal came in and told Q how to kill Tali for good, and said not to trust Mercain.
Shoy and Edmond duked it out, but at the last moment Q shot Shoy. Edmond was heavily injured when Shoy left to go back to Rag-tag HQ.
Mercain finds out Q tore Opal from Aine, somehow. The reason why nobody can feel Q is because he uses a limiter to hide his ki/disable his Rez.
However the limiter is breaking, as Edmond finds out from Q. Mercain goes to Edmond to find out why Q uses a limiter in the first place, but loses it and confesses he wants to kill Edmond. On the Phoenix group, Insom tells the group where Tali is. Askasa gets mad for her not telling them earlier, and then two outsiders come in(Teddy & tootz) who explain the "war" about the Phoenix Soul, Monte Cristos, Soul Stealers, and themselves, the Seekers. They then ask if Askasa and Ismaru would like to join them on their quest to kill the Soul Stealer. They agree, but Askasa also plans to kill Edmond, who, as a monte cristo, is trying to kill his best friend(Tali).
