Twisted Homecoming (for BH6)
Amiko, well wrapped in a flight suit, waited patiently as her brother carried her to the landing point near the Yashida compound.

They'd been paired together for a little while, handling various ... errands. It was good to work with him. Even if they were seeing a lot clearer now, as if a lot of clutter had been removed from their minds, they were still family.

Which led her thoughts to the ostensible mission here: to go after the sword Amiko had previously claimed 'on behalf of the sane side of the Clan.' And apparently, she'd been Confused at the time as to which side that was. Their obvious mission was to rectify that.

But so far, they were not being obvious. They were good at that.

"They'll know we're coming," Amiko reminds him. "They're not so lost and stumbling they won't have been able to find out a few things, and suspect what we obviously want. Just not direction or precise timing. And please keep Hajime off of me, Misha. I'm not concerned about the others. They'll hesitate, for old time's sake." Old times were hazy and vague in her head, but not so much so that she couldn't exploit them.

	"They can know all they want. Living through it is entirely optional." Finally seeing clearly after so long trying to be the perfect son and mutant was a freeing experience. Other lives meant little to him if they were in his way. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	She nods. "Remember the plan. Not too fast, not too close. This is a special occasion." There was no 'not too fatal' to the precautions. Life was so much simpler now. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Not too hot, not too cold. Juuuuuust right." He was careful to not approach at missile speed. No sense giving them too much preparation time. He touched down lightly at the chosen landing spot.

	"You could, but Japan's greatest heroes fighting for their lives puts Tokyo into a scramble," Amiko says. "Japan's greatest heroes annihilated all at once puts Tokyo into lockdown." Amiko smiled. "Besides, I'm sure this can be more fun than just target practice." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"All I'm asking for is that you properly showcase that you're not just equipped with a lot of firepower, but also one of the world's finest and most prolific combat experts. Don't rush. And yes, when this job is done, I would love to watch you blow up up politicians." And off they go to meet her old, cloudy-headed friends. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Keiji had been confined to quarters since shortly after discovering Amiko's kidnapping. Well..it hadn't really been made official until Keiji put several government bodyguards in the hospital after receiving the order from the Ministry official. Fortunately for him they hadn't thrown him in prison, they considered him too useful. Still, Keiji was forbidden to leave BH6 headquarters..which meant the training area had been devastated several times over in frustration.

	Grogg was busy in his little cubicle trying to answer some of his fan-mail, plugging away at an oversized type-writer. It helped to distract him. He had been distraught since Missy Kobayashi had gone missing. Each key was pressed with great care, as he had take time to remember how to spell each word. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Hajime is off-base. Since the disappearance, BH6 has been occasionally asked to help keep an eye on vulnerable points around the nation. While some people remain at base, on call, or are under suspicion, others are on more regular patrol. In Hajime's case, he's near the Imperial Palace, since its one of the spots he's most familiar with and the value as a target is obvious.

	"Yes," She tells Keiji. "I asked him not to rush." It's a true statement, but also a calculated one. Amiko could remember how her boyfriend -- her cloudy-headed and misguided boyfriend -- boyfriend was always uncomfortable, in the very best of circumstances, with how impressive and wonderful her brother was. Anything distracting that would keep things thrown off was god. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	"I see. Likely just as well, you never liked the idea of him and I having to fight," Keiji said calmly, though inwardly he was furious. "Personally I always thought you were afraid I'd actually beat him and break your fantasy of the invincibility of your family." It was half-true. This was as much psychological warfare as anything else. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"How fortunate that this is not a possibility." She sounds calm, too, but the heat-dart at his face may be a little quicker than her usual perfect precision. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

A sudden miniature geyser opens from the ground, water bursting up in the path of the heat-dart.

"Amiko-sama." Clockwork intones forcefully, approaching her cautiously, keeping his approach at 90 degrees from Keiji's. Plant-life seems to respond to his presence, grass growing in his footsteps.

"What is the reason for this? This behavior is not like you."

And that lack of precision is just enough for him to dodge the dart. He notes Clockwork's presence.

"She's been brainwashed, though she'll deny it in her state, I'm very familiar with this practice." He looks back at Amiko, his feet going into a stance. "Considering everything the Hand has taken from her, I doubt she is completely ignorant as to what has been done. That is likely suppressed. Victims often feel a sense of false clarity they've never experience before. It's hard to fight."

	Amiko sees the water hissing under the heat. "My brother and I have been given some perspective. That is all." She throws again, one hand towards both of them. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

And with that knowledge, Clockwork's anger vanishes. A soft chime, akin to a sigh, sounds within him.

'Oppression'

"This one does not wish to harm you, Amiko-sama, but it will not permit you to harm others, either." Clockwork abruptly rotates its arms in opposing circles, and the water collecting after the eruption begins to move. It flies across the ground towards Amiko's position, before growing cold. He would much rather immobilize her than do actual battle.

	Keiji doesn't waste more time talking. He knew Amiko would have some manner of counter to Clockwork's attack. She knew them all so well. The only way they were going to be able to stop this was to be unpredictable. Still..this was Amiko. Who knew him better than her? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Oh no!" Misha called out as well, taking to the air for a victory flight around Grogg. He peppered the ground with more blasts just for the fun of it. "Grogg! Did I ever thank you for the autograph?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Hajime takes a bit to get on the scene, heading for the sounds of chaos. Seeing Grogg battling the armored suit, the samurai pauses near cover, trying to stay out of sight while listening and assessing the situation. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: Vs. Misha mishaloganovich 2014-03-11 04:05 pm UTC (link)
	"Right!" Misha said, laughing. "She invited me to visit again." He laid down another series of blasts to keep Grogg off balance. Shame to toy with the guy, Misha really did like Grogg. "She wanted to pick up a few things." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	With a grunt, Grogg got himself back on his feet, taking the blasts on his invulnerable shell. He spun around, shooting a bolt of atomic breath into the air. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Hajime crouches, trying to not distract Grogg, and wait for his opportunity. A sword won't do much to a battlesuit, even his sword, but in every fight, there's something to be learned. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: Vs. Misha mishaloganovich 2014-03-13 03:04 pm UTC (link)
	Misha was flying too fast to change direction. He flew through Grogg's breath. It played havoc with the suit and Misha found himself in a dive bomb to the ground. Still laughing. He barely avoided turning himself into an accordion, rolling to get back to his feet and attempt a launch. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
