-Armane was being carried by Fyrena, who looked at Casi and said, “Thanks…” Armane was coughing up yellow and Fyrena tried to lay him on a tarp then go help others. Antige found Dremon and was crying on him as he held her and he was in just as bad of shape as Armane. Eriess managed her way down and she laid next to Crowbar. Everyone seemed a mess.-

-Termes saw the group coming back and he left his fury to speak, “Not good… Looks like pretty much everyone is carrying each other…” “I will set out tarps,” Antige spoke and her God Tier butterfly wings shot out through her outfit and she flew down to the ground and started setting out tarps. Eriess reached over to Termes and said, “You’re an ass still to her.. and an ass to us…” Termes nodded and spoke solemnly, “Armane is being carried back, Crowbar appears to be bleeding, Fenrie is out of commission, Dremon looks fatally wounded and others are in bad shape. Kroman also appears to be back on the field still in a blood rage. I will go detain him.” Termes sucked into a void and went to go get him. Eriess was stunned at the news about Crowbar and tried to keep her tears back. “He is fine, I know he is fine,” Eriess assured herself, “They are all fine…” She started humming a dark song to herself, tears going down her cheeks.-

-Termes kept looking out and said, “They are retreating now.” Eriess was still holding Antige though she seemed to be doing a little better. She looked over to Casi and said, “Armane is coming back.”-

-Termes reached out to pat her head gently and ruffle her hair. “No problem,” He said his arm dropping back down if he was able to, “Besides, I haven’t had that much fun since we were in game ourselves.” Their smiles faded as they thought about their game. “Our game is what got us into this fucking mess,” Antige finally spoke after a moment of silence. Termes shot a glare at her while Eriess seemed concerned. Termes stood up and forcefully regulated his breathing, “We need to camp, I will watch for signals from Carolus.” He looked back at the field and stood on the edge away from them. Eriess looked at Antige and said, “You shouldn’t piss him off like that.” Antige sighed and cried, “I hate this life…” She knelt down and Eriess held her.-
-
-Eriess laughed and said, “A blue… a pruple… and a red…” Antige giggled and joked, “The fuck is pruple?” Termes fell over laughing. Eriess blushed and exclaimed, “You know what I mean!” Termes then looked at Casi and said, “We knew she could handle herself, if anything, you making us go back for her is what got her injured like this.”-

-Soon enough, Eriess was drug back by Termes and Antige. They were all bleeding and panting as they let her down gently because the rapid heal couldn’t keep up on her. Eriess was laughing and said, “Damn that was fun!” Termes panted with her and said, “Yeah, just stop taking hits like a noob.” “Go fuck yourself!” Eriess said to him but was laughing. Termes laughed too as did Antige. Antige looked at Casi as she was healing and said, “How you hold up? Listened to Termes?”-

-Cassandra turned to see a random pile of computer chips and she sighed. “Find which one is the smallest, please.” She was polite in tone and went back to working on the motors. She was connecting the wiring and making sure to find a suitable slip for the underside to keep the wires from getting covered in her bodily fluids. She then connected four of the cups together with a titanium rod with her welding. She then thought of something and grabbed an adhesive. She took superglue and opened each of the cups one at a time to drop a few drops to assure the kryptonite stayed in its container. She would close them after ward and when the glue was dried, she shook it and heard no jiggling so thought they were secure. Her hands felt over them and she applied a slip on the wire side with medical glue. She held one of the groupings of four up to her arm then and saw how it’d match up. Her eyes scanned over her veins, realizing it was going to be tricky to not cut a major artery. She sighed and started getting the other wires ready, ones that were small enough to connect to nerves. She then shook her head and said, “I will search you go out and guard or something…” She went to the pile and picked out a tiny one first. She smiled and placed it into the sleeve and carefully attached wires to it. She used a magnifying glass and placed the wires into proper positions for her intended use and then gently placed the sensitive wires to her skin. She moved her fingers and it weakly opened the cups by only about a millimeter. She then tried to amp up the chip by making it a little different in the wiring. She tried it again and the servos moved open the cups the whole way then the whole way back. She placed it down and fixed the other one up like it and then searched for a scalpel. She dug around in a drawer and found tons of them, sterilized. She then took one of her dresses she acquired earlier from her panic room and laid it down as a towel. She placed her arm on it and ripped off the arm of this dress to tie off circulation to her arm. She took the scalpel and slowly sliced open her arm, careful of her main vein there. She gritted her teeth and opened it enough to get it in. She froze a little at seeing her own musculature but snapped out of it. She placed in the one apparatus, sensitive wires first and placed them as she then set in the rest of it. She grabbed from a drawer quick a surgical sewing kit and began sewing her skin to the flaps of the cups and sewing her skin shut that does not fit on the cups. She tried so hard not to yell out. She finished setting it and when she was finished she put the knife down and untied her left arm. She took a deep breath and had tears of pain from doing so but she bared it and tied off her other arm and took the scalpel in her left hand. She sliced herself open again and placed in the other one in the same fashion as the first and then sew it up. She dropped everything after that and screamed from the pain. The cups opened and closed randomly as the muscles in her arms twitched with nervous pain. She tried to get it to settle and focused on the nerves in her arms. She slowly worked it to the point of staying open by keeping her arms flexed. She felt the powers of the colors swarm into her from the nearness of the exposure. She felt a compulsion for blood but felt a lot stronger, her arms seemed to be stretching to the ground slowly, her focus on the dress lit it on fire, everything seemed to slow down around her, her sewing began to meld directly where they were intended to be sewn and the skin together began to close as nerves connected to the lines, some of the objects around her began to float, some of the outlets began to feed electricity out to her body, and her age seemed to reduce slightly. The sudden onset of the abilities caused her to leave out a scream of pain, possibly alerting nearby drones. She unflexed her arms and they set back to normal. She took a deep breath as the powers left her and she fell onto her butt. She eased herself back up, resulting in the first one on her left arm reopening. This resulted in a lust for blood again but she dented the desk she was using to prop herself by grasping it in her hand. She relaxed it again and it closed. This would take some getting used to. She looked to see if the useless thing was still around and said, “Hey, I need to go to the top of the building.” She turned and the fourth cup on her left arm opened, causing the world to seem to slow down again. She moved over to the shaft and saw a hole big enough for her to get through. She meant to climb but found herself sticking on the wall a bit when she stepped before slowly falling down. She kept flexing what seemed to keep it open and instead of obtaining the help, ran up the wall and put herself into the hole. She then ran up the inside the whole way to the office on the top floor. She held herself on the edge of the inside as she relaxed that then tried to open back up the first one again, instead opening the second as her arms stretched a little. She closed it and they went back to normal. She tried again and opened the first one, hopping over to the door of the elevator and ripping it open. She held herself from falling down as she pulled herself into the hall then made her way into the main office as she relaxed her arm to close the cup. She witnessed drones beginning to file to get in the building from everywhere. She looked around the office and found a button that was very well hidden under the desk. She hit it and it emitted an EMP pulse that caused all the drones to just stop and fall. It went through the entire city as it made the droids fail. She turned on the computer and began typing in fast, tracking the droids frequencies and hacking into their systems. She triggered a chain of explosions as droids in the area self destructed as the signal was sent. She then waited to hear a lack of explosions before getting out of their system and shutting down the computer. She sat in her chair and waited for her robotic friend to catch up as she pondered her abilities and played with her flexing to figure out what opened which power.-

-Termes saw what was going on and yelled, “CASI RETREAT NOW!” Antige got up and ran back to help as well and ran past Casi with her scythes as more prospitians came up to attack. Termes didn’t want to disobey orders but he ran back and brought out a halfbowkind as he also went past Casi. He was able to use the wooden bow pieces to smash physically through the propitians’ heads. They were quite the formidable team physically.-
-
-Termes ran the full hundred yards to the retreat point and leaned over panting, “I have… not ran that fast… ever…” Antige ended up there after sprinting and panted as she turned and fell onto her butt. She sat there and took deep breaths. They realized Casi would have been with them and Termes said, “Where’s Eriess?” Eriess stayed behind but was in sight as she drew her scythe and was slicing prospitians who had found their previous location.-
-
-Termes waited for more signals and saw a sign for them to retreat immediately. “He.. wants us to head back and he’s giving the signal like its in panic. Everyone, run, NOW!” Termes took off as fast as he could. Antige darted as fast as she could away. Eriess waited to make sure Casi was with the group first before following.-
-
-Termes smirked and said, “two hundred.” Antige giggled as she loosed her arrow, “You’re falling behind, two eleven.” Termes blushed and tried to fire faster. Eriess got some great shots in as she talked to Casi, “Archers are weird… They are competing and it is kinda funny, don’t you think?” She got a prospitian in the head. Termes saw a signal and said, “Everyone, stop firing quick.” He was looking around the battle field for something then. Antige looked at him confused. Eriess stopped firing.-
-
-Termes peeked up and said, “Great shot!” He went back to shooting prospitians. Antige was firing steadily and said, “one twenty four.” Termes responded to her, “one thirty one.” Eriess took out cuffs and picked up Jack to take him to the next retreat point, secured him there, then ran her way back and took out her sniper. “I miss anything?” Eriess asked as she got her sniper out.-
-
-Termes said, “That Dersian she is fighting with, he is a threat. Can you get a clean shot through the head and not hit Eriess?” Eriess and Jack were moving a lot and he was hiding a gun behind his back. Termes saw the signal from Carolus as some dersians retreated to make the numbers dwindle. Termes said, “Antige, fire on the prospitians. And Casi, instead, just cripple him. Shoot a leg or and arm or something. We will take him prisoner.” He started firing with Antige down upon the Prospitians.-
-
-Termes kept an eye on the hand of Carolus as a signal to wait was given. “What the…” Termes whispered, “he signaled to wait…” Antige looked over at him and whispered, “Why?” “I don’t know,” Termes whispered back. He started scanning the field and noted that the ground troops were over bearing the prospitians. “We have the upper hand,” He whispered again, “Soon he will make Dersian’s fall back and we might get to help. I fear Prospit retreating first though.” Antige looked across the top parts of the battle field and saw Eriess and a Dersian fighting scythe to dagger. Antige whispered, “Eriess found the MIA, arch-agent…” Termes smirked and whispered, “Hey Casi, you got a silencer on that thing?”-
