| Aimee would probably have said something when she was dumped to the ground by the Misus girl, but, truth be told, the girl was scaring her a bit... That and she couldn't really talked anyway with a piece of tape covering her mouth. She heard the door close behind her and guessed her kidnappers had gone on to do whatever they were planning to do.
A few minutes passed, the young girl simply looking around as best as she could, trying to find a way to escape, or at least to contact the others. There was a table, chair, even a heater. "Good, so at least I won't freeze alive," Aimee thought ironically. There were probably tools in some of the boxes, but seeing as she was tied up, reaching anything would be a problem. Standing up too...
Rolling and twisting as best as she could, Aimee was finally able to sit up. Not that it made a big difference, but at least she could breath and see better. "Maybe if I kick the wall, some neighbour will hear me," she thought after a moment, remembering one of the Misus' girls saying one of her neighbour was nosey. Apparently most people didn't pay attention to her, but if she saw a tied up girl locked in a shed, maybe she would try to help her... Or maybe someone else would hear her and come to her rescue... Whatever happen, it couldn't be worst than now. Well, unless the scary girl that had taken her to the shed came and beat her up, but meh, if they had planned to hurt her, they would probably have done so already.
With that thought in mind, Aimee turned and tried to bang her feet as hard as she could on the shed's door, hoping it would catch someone's attention and wondering if someone would really care about strange noises coming from a shed...

| Choked a bitch. Got Caught. hur.. u...
Arching an eyebrow at this new development Andrew grinned a little as he leaned in closer to the struggling girl. He hadn't quite caught the last part of that, but he still
"Gee, you think loudly don't you?" he asked, not really expecting an answer. "But I take it that since you're talking to someone else, you don't seem to be working alone. If you were, I expect you wouldn't be dumb enough to just attack one of us in our own fortress."
Receiving no real answer from the girl except a brief pause in her struggling as she realized he had heard her most recent transmission, Andrew stood up and turned to Cyrel. "I need you to run and get me some rope please." He said. "If she doesn't start talking soon, I'll have to resort to something a lot less pleasant than saying 'please'."
Cyrel left to go find some rope and and Corik looked up from where he kept her pinned with his bulk.
"What do you need rope for?" he asked, shifting his position a bit so he had an easier time keeping the girl down.
"Just to keep her from attacking us while I get my answers, and so you don't have to keep sittin' on her." he replied.
Looking back to the girl, he focused his mind on her, fixing his gaze on her, his icy blue eyes boring into her brown ones.
Now then. he sent, not wanting Corik to hear what he was about to have to do.
You have until she gets back to answer my questions with your own voice before I will find them myself. I can crack open your psyche and sift through every memory you have if need be. It will not be pleasant. For either of us. There is a good chance you or I could be reduced to nothing more than a vegetable, trapped in our own bodies for the rest of what will then be our sad and miserable lives. I don't want that, and I'm sure you don't want that. And I do so hope you consider this seriously and not dismiss it as a bluff. I can crush your mind with a thought, so please, tell me what you did with Aimee.
To the girls credit, she glared back at him defiantly, not giving him a single answer. His face serious, Andrew stood.
"Well vaffanculo to then." He said. "Could you take her into the wind tunnel Corik, please. I'll need a place thats quiet for what she's forcing me to do."
"What are you going to do?" Corik asked. He was worried about Aimee, but he didn't know what Andrew had in mind.
"Somthing I'd really rather not do, but we need answers and she's not going to talk."
Don't struggle. You're not going anywhere and I'd rather you not make this any harder on yourself than it already will be. he sent to her.
Leaving the locker room, he sighed and prepared himself for what he was going to do. Tucking Aimee's trinket into a pocket, he walked to the ice rink and transformed, spires of ice erupting around him as snow fell and his outfit appeared.
By this point, Corik had her in the fan room, and Andrew quickly retrieved two chairs from the lounge, eschewing any questions asked by Jade and Viola with a look.
Dragging them to the fan room and placing them on the floor, he glanced at the girl. Sit down, feet together and hands behind your back. Now. Slowly, she obeyed, her eyes still glaring hate, but he could sense her fear at what was going on. Cyrel entered the door, a coil of rope in her hands. Taking it from her, Andrew swiftly tied her hands and feet to the chair.
Turning back to the two Pari, he said, "Thanks. Now you guys can leave. I won't need distractions during this. Just try not to disturb me and hopefully this won't take too long. They both looked worried, but they left, closing the door behind them.
Sitting down across from her, he sighed. "You're a brave one, I'll give you that, even if you are really stupid. One last chance to tell me what i want before you leave me no choice."
When she said nothing again, Andrew frowned. "Don't say I didn't warn you..."
Closing his eyes, he called up his power, taking a deep breath as the temperature in the room dropped rapidly. Opening his eyes, they blazed with glacial blue fire, and frost began to form around the windows and door.
Andrew left his body and dove into the girls mind, both of their bodies going rigid with the strain of psychic interrogation.

| Bella had sighed when Max had said she couldn't drive the scooter. "Guess your hitching a ride. Might be a problem seeing as it only sits two comfortably. It can seat three but we'll come to that problem latter." She said trading slimy and her car keys for her scooter keys off the coffee table. She figured there was no reason to bring slimy along if a fight broke out seeing as he would have no host.
She stepped out the door getting her scooter and three helmets from the garage. Her usual black one with a skull on it, and two brand new ones one was hot pink with flaming cherry's on it. Why her parents thought she would like it she would never know. The other was just a normal black helmet with nothing on it which she handed to Max. They then climbed on her scooter heading towards the warehouse almost knocking over Ima the cat lady in the process.
Getting to the area she was supposed to she let max off taking the helmet back and stashing the bike. “Send a text or some sort of signal if you need back up. I’m not going in unless I have to; even without the green hair they will probably recognize my outfit.” She said at Max’s odd look at her staying behind at the scooter. She motioned for her to just go before Cindi could cause any more harm than good to their cause. Of course Bella couldn’t help but keep thinking back to Ima she just hoped the nosy old bat would mind her own business for once.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Imagine Baker better known to all in the neighborhood as Ima the crazy cat lady, had been doing her usual round around the neighborhood looking for strays. She had been about to pass by Bella’s house when the girl along with someone else had almost ran her over with her scooter. “DESPICABLE CHILD!!!” She screamed after her as she drove off, normally she would stay away from this house knowing that the girl’s parents didn’t allow pets. Of course Imagine noticed that the girl’s parents weren’t there and decided to find out if maybe Bella was holding a cat hostage in the back yard while her parents were out of town.
“I wouldn’t put it past that evil little demon child. Probably has one locked up to kick it around or some other terrible thing. Her puss puss I’ll save you.” She said going through the gate to the back yard. It was well known throughout the neighborhood that the backyard of the Lacrox house was usually unlocked seeing as there was a playground for the day care Bella’s mother ran. It wasn’t large just a small jungle gym, slide and a couple of swings situated far on the other side of the yard away from the shed.
As soon as Ima entered the yard she checked the small playground first. No telling what the girl could hide or do to a cat there. As she looked about she heard a thumping noise coming from the other side of the yard in the shed. “Locked you in there did she kitty?” She said heading towards the shed to see if she could figure out a way to unlock it. “Just wait a minute kitty. I’ll free you soon enough.” She said as she attempted to pick the lock with one of the many bobby pins in her graying brown hair. “Stupid blasted lock.” She muttered still fiddling with it hoping the girl nor her parents or anyone else for that matter showed up to see her trying to break an entering.

| The young man's voice boomed in her head, send pain shooting throughout her brain. He'd clearly been doing this far longer than she, and had much greater control and ease with his thoughts. Had she not already over-exerted herself most of the day she would have sent something back, but even the lightest thought made her head ache more. After being guided to the chair in the wind tunnel she was in before, and she sat down int eh chair at his command as he tied her to it. She held firm, staring directly at him, trying not to show the fear that was welling up inside her.
"You're a brave one, I'll give you that, even if you are really stupid. One last chance to tell me what i want before you leave me no choice. Don't say I didn't warn you."
Cindi could not have been less ready for what happened next. The room froze over, with frost covering the windows. The last thing she saw was the young man's glowing blue eyes boring into her own before she felt her entire body tense up. As much as she wanted to yell out in pain she could not. She felt another equally unpleasant sensation...but this was in her mind.
Everyone she'd met.
Everyone she'd slept with.
Anything she'd ever bought, or been given or taken away.
Her loves, her hates, all of her shame.
Everything she was and everything she is.
It was all being was being touched, by an ice cold presence. Her mind and memories were being invaded, taken, scrutinized, and tossed aside as the entity before her searched fro the information it needed.
Her thoughts raced as pictures sights and sounds flashed through her mind briefly, violently through her mind.
Age three. At the butcher. Italy. A young girl watches horrified as the butcher greets the man from the slaughterhouse, whose clothes and gloves are covered in blood. The man cheerily waves to the girl and she hides behind her Nana, who is getting some food for dinner that night.
Age eight. A shy lonely child lies on her back in the center of her room in the dark.
Age fourteen. A girl lies in bed clutching the comforter to her chest, occasionally glancing at the classmate asleep next to her, to whom she just lost her virginity.
Stop...
Homecoming. Parties. Prom. The treatment she receives from her friends. Scenic screenshots of Bologna, Italy. A montage of everyone she's been intimate with male or female zipping past like a flickering movie reel. All of her firsts, good and bad. The dark, violent, inexplicably gory places she rarely treads except in moments of extreme anger and her nightmares.
Per favore ... Invia.
Her memories of Red. Her first time meeting him, her first time with him, and every time after.
All of these things seen and judged by this entity. Violating and assaulting her psyche in an indescribable manner. Her body could not take much more, and beads of sweat caked Cindi's brow and neck, rolling down her back and chest.
Fatelo smettere!
((Was gonna post as Jade but meeehhhhhh tired.))

| "Don't worry about it seating three," Max replied to Bella's statement. "I'm capable of skitching without getting myself killed." She tucked her skateboard under her arm, fully intending to carry it along for the ride. She needed to set it down when the older girl handed her a helmet. She had never used one before. However, she never really went fast enough to merit wearing one. In her mind anyway.
After they had arrived, Max figured that Bella would be joining her into the building. At the discovery that she was going in alone, she gave the other girl a skeptical look. But it couldn't be helped. She left her board with the scooter, and the helmet with Bella. And with that, she tromped off toward the building.
Like Cindi, she was taken aback when she hit the barrier. Growling, she pushed through the energy field. Once on the other side, she paused. It wouldn't do her or her teammates to just barge in there without transforming. That would just get her caught as well.
Closing her eyes, Max she began to concentrate. A familiar, warm sensation began to spread from the trinket that hung behind her ear. This feeling grew until it encompassed the whole of her person. She levatated a couple feet off the ground as she began to transform.
The teenagers' hair seemed to lengthen as fur sprouted along her spine. A coat as black as jet covered Max's body, while her costume faded away. When the Misus agent opened her eyes, a handful of heartbeats later, she looked like a bipedal, melanistic leopard.
Like her civvies, Maxine's pelt dissolved like dust on the wind. The rounded ears became the ends of her headband, which hung about her shoulders. The fang filled maw was replaced by a metallic face guard. Reinforced, fingerless gloves covered her hands and most of her forearms. A loose tanktop draped itself over her chest. Baggy cargo style camo's were tucked into heavy duty combat boot.
Tranformed, Max approached the building. "This better not take a stupidly long time," she growled. When she was a handful of meters from the entrance, she began to focus her abilities.
"Soul of the Jaguar."
A shadowy feline aura surrounded Max as she checked the door. It seemed to be unlocked. That was beneficial, as she didn't want to make too much noise yet. She needed to find Cindi quickly, before she got mobbed by whatever Vilos punks were there. And ripping a door off its' hinges would not have helped matters. She took stock of her surroundings, once inside, looking for potential weapons and places the other Misus would be.

| Aiden repocketed the watch and walked out to the backyard. Time to see how their captive was holding up. His confident stride broke into a run when he saw who he assumed to be the crazy cat lady at the door of the shed. "Hey!" he shouted as he got closer to her. The woman just glared at him and walked off, saying something about how she'd come back to get the little darling later. Once she was out of his range of view, he unlocked the shed and stepped in.
"You almost got lucky there." He smirked, looking down at the duct-taped girl on the floor. "If I had not have come at the time I did, you would most likely be out of here, with the neighbor calling for help." He sat down on the chair in the shed. "I'm glad I decided to stay behind to keep an eye on you." He glanced around the little shed. "To keep anything like that from happening again, I guess I'll just stay here."
--------------------------------
The Abjuration found Max. Walked to where she was going. Hit some sort of wall. No. There is no wall. There is nothing. It has to walk through whatever this nothing is. It had to finish the mission. It went through. There was a warehouse there now. Followed Max. Looked for Cindi. Finish the mission.

| A sudden glimmer of hope had shined through Aimee's mind as she had heard someone mess with the lock of the shed. From the muttering and hesitating sounds, she could guess it wasn't one of the Misus, and that meant she would soon be free... Of course, that was before the noises suddenly stopped and the door opened, revealing the boy she had seen earlier.
"Oh great," she thought, glaring at Aiden as he sat down and said he would stay with her to prevent her from escaping. "Like if I don't already have enough trouble..." Aimee sat back against the wall as best as she could, trying to ignore the boy and to find another idea. He had mentioned staying behind to watch her, which meant the others were most likely gone... With a little luck, he'd need to go help them, or at least do something else, and then she would get another chance to escape. Although, today didn't seem to want to be a lucky day...

| Jade was in the process of asking Viola if she was okay for the fourth time when she noticed an oddly dressed girl...she thought it was a girl....walk through the door. He held up a finger signaling Viola to stop talking, and then pointed through the glass at the stranger.
"Th' fu--"
Jade! Misus!
"Oh FUCKING HELL." Jade looked at Viola sternly. "Vi, I'ma take care of this. Come out an' help if you're good to fight." Jade marched down the hall, yelling, "GLADIOLUS! ...Bullshit never ENDS with these people..." She stopped at the threshold, staring down the girl who just walked in.
((Jade now has a -4 modifiers to her rolls, which will last 2 rounds. Dice hate Jade so HARD))
"Mkay, LOOK HERE. I dunno who the FUCK you new bitches think y'all are, but I gotta tell ya, you have got to be either the bravest, cruelest or just plain STUPIDEST Misus I have every had the displeasure of dealing with. You kidnap one of our pari, have one come in here and CHOKE THE SHIT out of MY FRIEND and expect her to NOT GET CAUGHT?!"
She marched toward her, her speed picking up as she got closer, speaking to the girl through her teeth and her voice increasing in volume with every step.
Jade, please, I understand you must be angry, but--"
"EPOL I'M TALKIN'. And to top it off, the icing on this CLUSTERFUCK OF FAIL YOU CALL A PLAN, YOU WALTZ THE FUCK IN HERE, THINKING YOU CAN GET HER BACK WHEN SHE GETS CAUGHT?! REALLY?! FUCKIN' REALLY?! WELL I'MA TELL YOU THIS, I CANNOT BE MORE GLAD YOU DECIDED TO JUST WALK ON IN HERE, BECAUSE AS FOUL A MOOD AS I'M IN, I'M IN THE PERFECT MOOD TO HAND YOUR ASS TO YOU IN A PAPER BAG."
Jade! I must insist that you--
At this point Jade was flat out ignoring Epol, for she was at full speed, her arms raised behind her, glowing petals gathering in her fists. "EAT A DICK EPOL. ASPHODEEEEELLL FIIIIIIISSSTTT!"
Jade, in a rage, charges the girl head on.

| Maxine was a bit surprised to be joined by the flame... elemental... thing. The fact that Aiden had called it an Abjuration was nothing more than an afterthought right now. She halted in her tracks, meaning to point it in the opposite direction of where she was headed. Much to her ire she hadn't been paying enough attention to her surroundings. Needless to say, she'd been caught.
She inclined her head at the woman that was 'addressing' her, seemingly unimpressed with the display. The woman could yell all she wanted. That didn't matter to her. Witty banter was not one of Max's strong points. Besides, the Vilos was doing more than enough talking for the both of them.
When the woman charged, Max couldn't help but grin. Most of the wolfish expression was hidden by her mask, and she shifted her stance. She waited for her attacker to close the gap between them before lunging foreward. Balling her hand into a fist, Max attempted to dodge the flora fighters' attack and uppercut her in the abdomen...

Max's attempt to dodge are in vain, as Jade's Asphodel fists fists meet Max's chest and stomach, sending her flying into the wall, making a crater and sending debris.
Jade gave roar of frustration and rage. "TAKE THAT YOU MISUS BITCH!! I HAVE FUCKING HAD IT WITH YOU PEOPLE." Jade was about to charge again for another attack, she felt an all too familiar heat emitting from the open door. She looked at the girl who entered, who was in no shape to attack right now, and summoned Eremurus, heading out the door to confront the fire monster. "Cyrel! Watch her," she said as she pointed to the Misus girl up against the wall with her spear. When she was out the door she stood in front of the beast, who wasn't facing her, instead looking about the premises for something or other. Jade stood right below it, whistling. The monster turned to see her standing there defiantly smirking.
"Ready for round two cocksucker?" She brandished her weapon, standing her ground, ready to defend herself.

| The Vilos woman's attack moved faster than Max had anticipated. Her attempts to adjust her course came far too late. She made a pained 'hrk?' sound as the air was forced from her lungs. Her brain had barely enough time to register that she was flying through the air before she impacted the wall. Light seemed to explode from behind her eyes, as the back of her head struck the concrete.
Sh...shit...
Maxine sank to the ground, trying her darndest to remain conscious. Her vision was blurry and threatened to fade to darkness. Her chest burned from the sudden lack of air, but her breath seemed to have a hard time reaching anywhere past her throat. When her body finally rembered how to breathe, she almost wished it hadn't. The onslaught of pain from what felt like cracked ribs made it seem like more trouble than it was worth.
Her mind fuzzy, her abdomen on fire, Max resigned herself to lie on the ground.

| The Abjuration growled. The flower girl again. With new hair. Shorter. Had to take care of the mission. The Abjuration watched Flower Girl take down the one named Max. Flower girl was in the way. It turned to face her. It exhaled a column of fire in her direction.
Viola sighed as she transformed and ran into the main room. A rescue party had arrived, and rather loudly at that. She expected the loudness from something like the Fire thing, but this was yet another new girl that was currently on the floor. They weren't putting much thought into this. It was obvious that Aiden wasn't really behind this one this time.
Oh well. She would worry about that later. Right now, there was a fire monster to work with. She formed her bolt of electricity between her two hands. "Bolt arrow!" she shouted as she released the attack in the direction of the monster.

| Adrian had indeed found something of interest outside, namely a distortion in his mentor's illusion, something that surely would not show up to the average person, but something distinctly wrong to him. Curious, he stepped off of the small road and over to the place where his stone had been hidden, feeling it's power. No... it isn't mine being weak... Someone must have done this by coming in, I... His thoughts were cut short as he felt a burst of telepathy, a message being sent out.
"Adrian, Misus! We've been infiltrated, hide yourself." Ricther's voice rang out, the usual dripping serenity of his voice lost.
Adrian nodded his agreement, dashing closer to the warehouse but keeping in the protection of the forest, transforming in a particularly dense thicket just in time to feel the oppressive power of the monstrosity arriving in the warehouse. Moving as close as he could to the warehouse while remaining hidden, he began to concentrate, building a scene of confusion and chaos in his mind as he sought out the unfamiliar presences in the area. A chaotic dimension of Escher-esk design forming in his mind, floors shifting, walls warping, using the warehouse as he remembered it as a model. He holds his body perfectly still in its prone position as he projects his illusion onto the unfamiliar presences.

Jade rolled under the fire beast just as the fire column hit the ground where she once stood. Viola's bolt screams through the air overhead, landing in the dirt lot just a few feet from Corik's truck. Adrian's illusions assail the fire beast, an ebb and flow of stairs, tiles, constantly constructing and reconstructing around the being.
((The illusion will last for 3 rounds, with Abju having a +4 for the this next round. The modifier will decrease by 1 per round [i.e., the round after this will be -3]))
Jade took the opportunity to trip the beast with her spear

| Corik hadn't been sure he agreed with what Andrew was doing. He wasn't even sure what was going on, and he couldn't see anything, the entire window had iced over and he could no longer see inside. the last things he'd seen was Andrew sit across from the girl he'd restrained and then both their bodies went rigid and then everything went cold and iced over. Even though he couldn't see anything, he still felt an enormous force inside, which he could only assume was Andrew. The force of it was like winter's chill on his skin, sending shivers racing down his spine and raising goosebumps along his arms and legs. As nice as Andrew was to everyone, this kind of power was at the least frightening.
Turning his back on the wall of ice, Corik looked around the warehouse. Cyrel was standing watch over the girl who had just walked in, and whom Jade had subsequently demolished. She was allied with the Misus, but he'd never seen her before either. The presence of that fire demon thing though meant they we're working with Aiden at least.
"Kinda dumb to be Aiden's plan though." he thought. "They got way to easily for him to be in charge of this."
"I Agree," Gav said, "But the fact that they kidnapped Aimee and you still don't know where she is means they have some kind of plan in store."
"I know, but still... they just walked right on in when we're all right here.
"You never know with the Misus Corik. You should probably stand guard over Andrew now. He can't defend himself when he'd mind-linked with another person." Gav said.
"Mind-linked? Like.. as in reading her mind?"
"In a very relative sense, yes. It's much more complicated, and dangerous, but yeah, that's close enough.
"Wow. That guy's just full o' surprises ain't he?"
If that was true, and there was still the fire monster to deal with, someone needed to be between it and Andrew if it overcame Jade and Viola. Thinking back to the warehouse, the monster was really powerful. There was a good chance it might get by them, and if it was here to rescue the first girl, it wouldn't really be able to miss what was going on in the fan room. Taking up a position outside of the room, he readied himself for the next thing to come through the door.
The next sound in the room was the cracking of ice, as the door to the fan room swung open frigid air spilling out and fog pouring out along the floor. Andrew stood there, leaning heavily on the door, his breathing labored and a pained look on his face. He seemed tired beyond imagining, and as he leaned there his costume faded, returning only his shoes and pants before he slumped to the floor, dry heaving and panting for air.
"They've got her... at some girl named... Bella's house." he managed between heavy breaths, rolling onto his back, sweat gathered on his face and torso despite the icy temperatures he had been in. "Pointing weakly into the room he said, "Get her... out of there... before she freezes."
Corik was amazed at the condition of the older man. "You weren't kidding when you said it was more complicated than it sounds" he told Gav, quickly going into the fan room.
Inside, everything was frozen over. The lights had burst, icicles hung from the ceiling and ice was sheeted over every wall. A heavy fog still obscured the floor, and in the middle of the room, slumped forward in the chair was the girl, clearly unconscious. Corik quickly drug the chair out into the main room, and sliced the ropes off of her cold body. he laid her down against a wall not coated in ice and looked her over quickly. She wasn't getting up anytime soon, but she was still breathing, even if she was dangerously cold.
"Her name's Cindi." Andrew panted, trying to sit up, only to give up when he couldn't quite push off the floor. "Couldn't get much out of her... too much junk in that head..."
