X.A.N.A inc. HQ

*ring ring ring ring ring ring ring ring. Banana phone! I've got a feeling, its so appealing-*
*Axel wastes a clip of ammo on that clock and then goes back to his room but finds Shine there*
Axel: ....I just can't win, can I?
Sean's family: Not at all!
Axel: AARRRGGHHH!!....*sigh*
*Axel facelands on his bed*
Axel: Don't touch me and get out. Your f**king presence is too bright!

*ョ steps forward to Axel. Ignoring his request...*
ョ:"You sleepy... but it morning... Need help..."
*It places its hand directly in front of Axel's eyes and glows brightly once more. The veins in his eyes from drowziness fade away. He feels refreshed and awake, but hungry nonetheless... The light fades and ョ is gone. (back on the rooftop again...)*

*Axel finds Sean as he walks in the cafe΄*
Sean: Get enough sleep, Axel?
Axel: F**k off.
Sean: Well, I'm done. Now for more of the cure.
*Sean walks to the lab*

*Slyce is in the medical room, unconcious still.*
Slyce:"...*moan* Augh... my aching... everything... God... I still feel numb from all that."
*He places hand on his head*
Slyce:"At least I can still move..."

(OOC: Writer's block....you know what that's like...)
XSci: How is he?
Amber: Stable. He's made a full recovery. When he wakes up, we'll tell him.

Axel's room
*Axel went to his room for the sleep that he missed out on, but Shine is there again*
Axel: Great, your here. What?! What's so interesting about me?!

The lab
*Sean is talking with the other branches on a big screen*
(Sickle)Antarctic branch: Is it or ain't it a weapon?
Sean: HE just got here. I can't decide that fast.
(Tokunaga)Japanese branch: Yes well, referring to this machine, it is well made.
(Tlak Vlad)African branch: Very good work.
(Elise)European branch: We could've made this! Why praise him for this thing?
(Ballichi)Austrailian branch: Because you didn't make it.
(Octavio)S.American branch: It is nice but, what exactly does it do? To me, it looks like you sent all of us blueprints to a machine that seems useless.
*Chaos Control*
Sean: H-how did Sorrow handle this kind of attention? Aw man.....okay. Gotta focus, gotta be strong.
*Time resumes*
Sean: Well, its to help cure the Crawlers. Not to kill them.
Elise: That's what you were working on?
Ballichi: What? A cure? You think that you have the cure to these things? Hard to belive.
Sickle: Where's the proof?
Sean: Right behind me.
*Two XANA scientist move to uncover two Crawlers. Sean holds up a needle filled with the cure*
Sean: The cure.
*He throws it at one of the Crawlers and it hits the mark. The other branches are alittle disgusted at the curing process*
Sean: As I repeat, the cure.
*They all, not including Elise, congradulates him*
Sean: ^_^ Hmhm, thanks! But, I'm not done yet. Release the aero-cure.
*A moment goes by and then the other Crawler goes crazy and drops to the floor*
Sean: THAT...was the cure. The aerial-cure or aero-cure. In five minutes, the Crawler will be cured. Or if its one of those incurables-
*The Crawler awakens and the two scientist release it. The Crawler leaps to infect Sean. It lands and bites his arm*
Sean: Then this would happen.
Elise: HAHAHAHAHA! Sucks to be you right now!
Tlak Vlad: We have lost Sean to them.
Sean: Eh.
*Sean shoots the Crawler in the head at point-blank. It falls to the floor, dead*
Sickle: Ain't you a strange one. Now, don' be tellin' you ain' felt that?
Sean: Honestly, I can't. Lost feeling in my arms when I was young. Plus, Crawlers were made using MY DNA. Infecting me with my own DNA is next to impossible. Now-
Octavio: And if it had worked?
Sean: I was just about to answer that. If it had worked, it would take 5 minutes.
Tokunaga: What about a city filled with Crawlers?
Sean: I already tested that on New York. You would have to incase the city in a...forcefield or a dome. Its non-toxic to humans and mobians, so you can walk outside and see the cure at work. Now the times are different.
Tlak Vlad: How different?
Sean: Well, it depends on the size of the town. For a big city like New York, 12 hours.
Ballichi: And for a place like Sydney?
Sean: Big, but small at the same time.... 9 hours.
Ballichi: Well, we will definitely need this.
Sean: I've sent the cure to all of you. It'll arrive within a week.
Ballichi: Aussie branch, out.
Octavio: South American branch, out.
Elise: My branch, out.
Tlak Vlad: African branch, out.
Tokunaga: Japanese branch, signing out.
Sickle: Aye, be seein' ya, youngin'!
Sean: *sigh*....that was nerveracking.
XSci1: You did exellent work, sir.
XSci2: We'll remove this at once.
Sean: Thank you. ^_^

(OOC: Remember, each species of infected need different cures... That would include Castaways and Thineans. So you'll recieve a scolding from them soon enough... And I thought Alibi eliminated all access to the Asian branch. So where's Tokunaga?)
In the lab...
Slyce:"...Ungh... It's good that I can feel now. This recovery is completing faster then I thought. Although I'll have to get used to this new ability of mine..."
XSci:"Good. You're awake. How well can you move?"
*Slyce slowly sits up on the bed and slides out. His legs slightly wobbling.*
Slyce:"Good enough."

In Axel's room...
ョ:"You not sleepy... You refreshed. I help."

(OOC: They moved that branch to another location)

Med room
Amber: Take it easy alittle. But I guess you won't, so I won't bother. Now for your results.
*Picks up paper from desk*
Amber: I never even took a look at....that can't be right.
Sean: What can't be right?
Amber: Ah! Sean!
Sean: Done with the meeting. Tell me the results.
Amber: Huh...
*Amber turns Slyce to Sean*
Amber: He's...your son.
Sean: 8[ WHAAAT?! ]
Amber: The same genes, the same face, the same race. A half-
*Sean and Slyce hold their heads*
Sean: -_< Don't...say...that word.
Slyce: Owww...my head.

Axel's room
Axel: Help? You helped? *He starts to glow*
How did you help?! Did you magically give my body rest?*He glows brighter*
Did you touch me even though I told you not to? Did you set my alarm at that time?!*He glows as bright as Shine*
Did you tell Master to wake me?! Did you get me attacked?! Did you KEEP ME AWAKE ALL NIGHT?! Because if you did all of the above, you helped.
*You'd think this was impossible but, Axel grabs Shine and pins him to a wall outside his room*
Axel: You annoy me. You've only been here for a day and I already dislike you. Don't think just because your a kid, doesn't mean I'll go easy on you.
*Axel throws him on the floor hard. Axel stops glowing*
Axel: Don't get in my way and don't help me.
*Axel grabs a pistol from his room and it turns black. He fires a round into Shine's left arm. Shine cries in pain. Axel fires a second round next to his face*
Axel: Consider that a warning.
*Axel returns to his room*

Medical room...
Slyce:"Why do I have this paining headache? How are you even my parent?"

Outside Axel's room...
*ョ's arm heals.*
ョ:"...Bad... you not good... you bad..."
*It glows bright once more and appears in Axel's room.*
ョ:"You bad! You hurt good! You darkness!"
*It glows bright enough to where it would burn Axel's eyes in an instant. It lifts him up with pure light energy as if gripping him tightly.*
ョ:"Darkness bad! Darkness evil! Darkness cannot succeed!"
*Its left arm begins to bubble from where it was shot. The light dims immediately and ョ grows scared as it dims endlessly. It drops Axel to the floor.*
ョ:"No... no no no no no no no!
*It scrambles through the window and towards the sun.*
ョ:"It happening. No no no no no no. Not now, not now, not now!"
Axel watches as ョ floats toward the sun as fast as it can. Absorbing the light energy from it.*

Med room
Sean: Are you sure he's my son? I haven't even-
Amber: He's your clone.
SeanSlyce: ....Ohhh.
Sean: Then why say he's my son?
Amber: Well...he looks like he could be your son. So, father Sean...meet son Slyce.
Sean: Hmm...
*Sean sniffs Slyce, weirding Slyce out*
Sean: Well, he does have my scent.
*Sean's eyes glow yellow*
Sean: <Do you understand what I'm saying?>
Slyce: Yes.
*Sean thinks for a moment*
Slyce:
Sean: Another me...
Slyce: ^_^
Sean: Cuuute! Hehehehe!

Axel's room
(OOC: I know her name, but she's MY mom, not yours. I call her mother, you call her by her name)
Axel: So what?
Mother: You really hurt him.
Axel: Its an "it". Besides, if he tries to hurt me, I'll knock it down.
Militia: Your a monster. A cold-hearted monster.
Axel: Thank you for that. The Shadows appreciate it.
Tom K: He's just like-
Axel: Don't EVEN try. Its just like you when you were created. I don't care.
*Axel turns ovee in his bed*
Cobra: What happened to the cool guy?
Axel: He's dead.
Cobra: What happened to the Axel I knew?
Axel: He's tired.
Cobra: How come you never show a smile? I bet it would make you happy.
Axel: ....I don't smile.
Sorrow: Being angry doesn't win hearts.
Axel: Go to hell.
Sorrow: Been there, done that.
Axel: Then go back.
Sorrow: I wonder how Sean will react when he finds out what you did?
Axel: He'll beat me close to death.
Mother: Appologise to Shine. He only did what he thought was righ-*gasp*
*Axel gives Sean's family THE coldest look he's given anybody. His eyes glow red*
Axel: I don't give a sh** about Shine. F**k off. You all bother me one more time about anything I do, I'm sendin' all of you to Hell. Do you understand me?
Mother: But Sean-
Axel: GO AWAY!!
*Sean's family ans Sorrow dissappear*
Axel: *sigh*

Med room...
Slyce:"Well I guess you're my half-dad then."
*He turns to Amber and the XSci.*
Slyce:"Do you have lead or lead alloy, aluminum, bismuth, bronze, copper, plastics, rubber, steel, tin, and tungsten? As well as carnauba wax and molybdenum disulfide? I require a few samples of each."

Outside of Axel's room...
(OOC: Then I ask what is her name then?)
*After a long while, ョ returns. Glowing like an almost dead lightball. It covers up its arm where it was once bubbling and struggles to limp off.*
(OOC: What it's covering is a dark scar from where Axel shot him. It looks like darkness spreading across its arm in vein-like pattern.)

Sean: Sorry, no Carnauba Wax or Molybdemun Disulfide. Those are expensive. And I used the Tungsten for the cure.
*Shine walks into the lab*
Sean: Shine?! Wha-what happened to you? Who did this?

ョ:"... light... need... help... heal..."
*It falls to the floor.*
ョ:"Axel... no help... again..."
Slyce:"I think I know what to do."
*He rushes up to ョ and creates an electric barrier around him. Having ョ get neither worse nor better.*
Slyce:"I figured that electricity is a type of light. Considering that electricity is many charged particles traveling at high speeds giving off light, but the amount of light that it gives off may be bright, but it's weak however. Everyone, get any kind of light you can. Lamps, flashlights, possibly fire too. We need as much light as we can give it. Hurry!"
(OOC: The sun is the best light sorce you can get, ョ only returned because it knew it wouldn't reach the sun in time.)

Axel's room
Axel: ...gettin' alittle tired....
*Sean rises from the shadow of his bed*
Sean: Get up, Axel.
Axel: ....
Sean: ....
*They both point gun at each other's face*
Axel: Quiet a standoff.
Sean: Indeed.
*Sean puts the UUEG away*
Sean: There's no time for this. Shine is dying and-
*Axel Chaos Control's to Shine, glows brightly, pick him up, Chaos Controls to the roof and comes back to his bed*
Axel: There. Now, I can rest.
Sean: pfft.
*Sean leaves*

Slyce: "Where did he-"
Amver:"I guess the rooftop. It always goes there to get energy. It's 3:49 now."
Slyce:"Damn we missed it! Everyone, get outta my way!"
*His waist down turn into an electric tail. Which glows a bright yellow as he charges up electricity. He takes off in a quick flash. Leaving a long tail of electricity behind him. He scoops up Sean and reaches the top floor within' seconds. He drops Sean and picks up ョ.*
Slyce:"We missed the direct time for it to heal. The only thing we can do now is take him directly into the rays of th sun. Or directly in front of it. If you have any ability that'll take you into the reaches of space, I suggest you do it now. I'll meet you at the end of the Earth's atmosphere nearest to the sun."
*He takes off leaving sparks behind him as he flies.*

Sean: Axel.
*He rises from Sean' shadow*
Axel: You owe me.

OOC: You type. My comuter is shot and my TV can't show video.

(OOC: Damn dude, that sucks...)
*Axel eventually meets up with Slyde.*
Axel:"Give it to me. I'll make it there."
*Slyde tries to hand over ョ, but it refuses to let go of Slyce.*
Slyce:"Hmm? You need to go with him. If you don't, you'll die."
ョ:"No... he bad... he hurt..."
Slyce:"Were you the-"
Axel:"Yes. I'll make it up to it by doing this. Trust me. Hell even if I don't, master will beat me to death. So I have no choice BUT..."
Slyce:"...Look... He can't hurt you. Even if he does, he's a dead man. You HAVE to go with him if you want to live."
*ョ stares at Slyce, then at Axel, then back at Slyce. It lets go of Slyce as it's handed over to Axel, who takes off into space. After a short while, Axel reaches the sun.*
Axel:"C'mon, hurry up. I can't leave you-Augh! What the-?"
*As ョ heals and glows brighter, Axel begins to grow a glowing white scar on his left arm. Highly resembling ョ's. Which doesn't fade away either.*
ョ:"... Thank... Thank you... but what you did... permanent..."
Axel:"Rrgh... If you're healed, then we're leaving."
*After a short while, they reach earth once again.*

Sean: Hey your-waoh. Your arm.
Axel: *pant* You owe me*pant* sleep.
*Axel walks to the med room*

OOC:
1- If your back, pm me.
2- Check the latter pages to find out Sean's parent's names)

Amber: Its just one thing after another with you, huh?
Axel: ....
*Axel arrives to his room, arm bandeged*
Sean: Yo!
*Sean and Shine walk to Axel*
Axel: ....
Sean: Shine has somethin' to tell ya.
Shine: ?
*Time stops*
Sean: Just tell him that your sorry for whatever you called him. He may be mean, but he's nice on the inside. If ya wanna be his friend, try to get to know him first.
*Time continues*

ョ:"...I sorry... for helping. You no want help? Then I no give help..."
*ョ teleports back to the rooftops.*

(OOC: wow i am VERY inactive ¬.¬)
*On roof of HQ*

Taiyou: New city, new journey and guess what.. new enemies i suspect. Not like i am left alone though

*Sits with crossed legs watchign the view*

Sean: All that work is done, shippments of the cure has been sent to the other branches, I've got a clone of me...
*Sean sit in his chair*
Sean: And ALL of New York has been cured!
*Slyce walks in*
Slyce: Da-uh, Mister Sean?
Sean: Yes?
Slyce: I was sent here to be evaluated on if I was a weapon or not. Am I?
Sean: *sigh* This....
Slyce: ?
Sean: To evaluate, I would need to see you in action.
Slyce: But every Crawler and Castaway was cured. Its peaceful.
Sean: Mah Boi! This peace is what all true warriors strive for!
(OOC: I had to stab myself for typing that...)
Slyce: I...uh-what?
Sean: Nothing...but I do have an opponent for you ready to go.
Slyce: Is it Amber? He doesn't seem like the fighting type.
Sean: Me! ^_^
Slyce: YOU?!?
Sean: Sure! A little father-son sparring might be fun! ^_^
Slyce: I....I don't know....
Sean: Come along, Slyce! I wanna see!
Slyce(Thinking): I don't know about this...fighting my fa-no...fighting Mister Sean.
*They get to the training field*
Sean: Here we are!
*Amber, Denidile, and Axel sit in the stands*
Denidile: I do hope Sean doesn't really hurt that young half-
Amber: Shhh! Don't say that word! You know what happens when they hear it.
Denidile: R-right.
*Axel just sits there with his arms crossed*
Amber: Father and son...I wonder who will win?
Denidile: Father? Sean is fighting his son? Axel, did you know about this?
Axel: ......
---------------> To the fields!!

*Taiyou lands after jumping in hole*
Taiyou: looks like teh fire is gone..
*Taiyou walks around for awhile*
Taiyou: i wonder what this place is..

*Slyce is recooperating back in the medical room once again.*
Slyce:"...Sorry for the burns. It's just the thought of Sam. How... how he didn't care about how people lived... Or died..."
*Sean begins to feel a chill as Slyce's fur turns a cyanish color. Frost lightly covers him.*
Slyce:"... So many things at once... I thought I could handle it. I was wrong."
*The frost begins to coat the floor.*
Slyce:"However..."
*The frost melts as Slyce's fur changes back.*
Slyce:"What you told me. You were right. I placed my thoughts on one person. Knowing I shouuld've placed my thoughts on everyone."
*He thinks for a moment*
Slyce:"Heh, who knows, there may be a good crawler somewhere. Hmm... but who knows. By the way, who told you those words of wisdom? I can already tell someone told you, 'cause I would've known if you did before I was created..."
(OOC: ~Ooooooooh~ technically, he's referring to Sketchy without even knowing.)

(OOC: Uhh....would...you belive...that I forgot the words of Sketchy wisdom and thought of that mehself? Because that's what happened! I swear!)
Sean: Words of wisdom? More like from personal experience.
Amber: Done. These burns were severe. I was right. 2nd degree burns.
Slyce: Sorry.
Sean: Eh, didn't even feel it. See?
*Sean beats a tune on the medical table, much to Amber's dismay*
Sean w/o looking at Slyce: Your not a weapon.
Slyce: Huh?
Sean: If your my little clone, your not a weapon. Your a living being. Not a tool of battle.
Axel: Sketchy-wannabe.
Sean: Hey!
Amber: You did sound like Sketchy back there.
Slyce: Who's Sketchy?
Sean: The best guy you could ever know in this world. ^////^
Axel: .....Gay.
Sean: Ignoring him, the way Sketchy talked to-
Axel: Gay.
Sean: Talked to me always made me feel good. He always knew what to say and he was there through my dark times.
Everyone but Slyce and Sean: Gay.
Slyce:
Sean: In...other words, he's my best friend that kept my emotions in check.

(OOC:Well just wait 'till Sean goes into another shock like he did those other couple times. He's gonna meet someone he once knew...)
Slyce:"Hmm... Alright. It'll be a pleasure meeting him one day."
*He hops off the medical bed*
Slyce:"Give me a moment."
*In a quick spark, he leaves and comes back with his gun.*
Slyce:"I'm pretty sure this somehow connects to my elemental abilities. Might you have a shooting range?"
