Once she was inside, the vastness of the Server Room quickly became clear.

She was a little startled when the door shut behind her by it's own accord.

"This the Central Dataroom of AIM and the Cartel. It is also the closest thing I have to a "Home". Each of these processors ensure I can be anywhere in the entire world at anytime. Now that we are away from the foolish antics outside, We can discuss what you need and how to attain it. We have the Tech required to create a means to track this energy, but it will be sometime before I can formulate a means to revive him. Any Damage to this Room will be met with Termination."

Viscus explained as the Tablet connected to the Database.

"Also, might I offer a drink? Considering the holiday season and it's attachment to Earthlings."

"No thank you, but thank you for the offer." Rose said and leaned against the wall. "Now, i could have guess at your ability to track the pieces of him, but i have had a few ideas on how to bring him back. According to what you mentioned earlier and what i've read; The Lazarus pit of Dr. Cortex as the capabilities of what i'm looking for, and the recipient body would be needed in order for it to function fully." She said.

"I have discovered traces of him inside myself, lily and an object of his previous possession." she said taking off a bracelet with a small black orb that seemed to absorb light. "I suspect things he loved in life has traces of himself in them. Such as Danielle, his computer and a few of his experiments in his lab. There's only a few hitches, I can't get into his lab which is on the bracelet; the black orb. If it helps, he said its a miniature dyson sphere." she explained.

"I believe you mis-understand. The Lazarus Pit works like Quote "a kind of Fountain of Youth" End-quote.
By placing a dead body in the pit, It will regenerate to the point of revival. Still, if you are able to get enough genetic Material, We can use that material in the pit and over the course of several submersions Bring Daniel McDermott back to life.

He explained a video of Bruiser's decapitated body going in and him returning as a much younger Machop.

"Just note, once this is over, your command over me will have ended and you will be mind-scrubbed to prevent the location of this base from falling into enemy hands. Though it may seem like a extreme measure, we find that it is entirely necessary, given the corruption of the Lighting Arch Angel."

Time to hear some of the story.

When Teri and Slindis got into the Canteen, the Drow served up a hearty portion for the two before starting. [color=c20000]"Back when the Torchbearers were still an organization, the main core of the group had woken up from some conflict with a group aiming to bring back something that I can't remember. Most of the group could remember various things, but I could hardly remember my name. One of the papers in there mentioned a conflict that was brewing between the Silvr Flame and the Sovereign Host, the two major religions in the city. Most everyone in the group wanted to work with the Host to cool the tensions, but I decided to go with the Silver Flame so we could collaborate and get the full picture."[/color]

Slindis began eating up the food and had a drink of Tea with some honey mixed in. [color=c20000]"Am I going too fast for you?"[/color]

Teri's head tilted to the side as she nibbled on some bacon;

"So a fight made you lose your memory? That sounds.... Odd. Do you remember anything else about that; now that you've had time to think about it?"

Slindis nodded. [color=c20000]"It involved some plague and an attempt to bring back some god, but that's unimportant to the story. When I got into the Flame headquarters in Stormreach, they had given me that outfit for my training. Believe me, it was difficult. Not to mention the whole time I was there, I had to tread carefully to not tip off any of the Flame higher-ups that I was collaborating to stop the brewing war before it tore the city apart."[/color]

"Hmmm....is there any way to modify the pit to concentrate energy into objects placed inside the pit itself?" she asked. "Because of his powers, he should be able to constitue and construct a body to become whole again so long as he is recompiled." Rose explained. She kept on thinking. "So if we recover enough pieces of him, we should be able to return his conscience and recreate his soul. Then his soul should do the rest inside the pit." the saiyan suggested.

Slindis nodded. [color=c20000]"It involved some plague and an attempt to bring back some god, but that's unimportant to the story.

Teri nodded along, listening intently;

"Tell me about it. If it wasn't for that Second in Command, I might have tipped off some disagreeable authority too. So, did you find out why the two churches were fighting one another?"

It was at this point Ton Ton had wandered into the Canteen; having found nothing out of the ordinary in his plush form. After reverting into his flesh and blood self, the little creature realized his hunger; and decided to go grab some of the yummy smelling food on the tall table. Grabbing a hold of Teri's leg, who promptly jumped in surprise, he climbed up the Author's side and into her lap; followed by a little hop onto the table.

"Hello Ms Teri. Ms. Slindis. Things going well in the Med Bay?"

Angelus herself had wandered to where her pact partner had decided to rest, and opened the door to the room. Sprawled upon the bed; was the aforementioned misplaced warrior. With a soft laugh, the dragon sat on a free space of the bed, and watched him slumber as her thoughts turned inward.

"The pit was designed to ensure that people could be revived biologically, though it is possible and at the very least, it would give us a target to reach while I process other means of revival. Very Well, If you can gather enough pieces of his sub-conscience, I can arrange a time for you to use to the Pit to be assisted by Dr. Cortex. I consider our meeting to be concluded and I request you to leave the server room. You can choose to stay on base if you so desire for the remainder of the festivities. Just if you do, refrain from saying you defeated Rugal Bernstein. Fear of his power is one of the main factors keeping this organisation together and if word spreads, a uprising will occur and I may be forced to terminate the entire base to ensure the Cartel will continue. This is due to "Loyalty" Code Rugal ordered to be programmed into my AI."

 

[Ninjamedic]

"....Very well...Go on."

The Android raised his arm, beckoning forth more mist for the flashback. "

THIS WAS CHRISTMAS FOR LITTLE RUGAL, 1975.

"

"....Why are we doing a Flashback. I CAN'T SEE YOU IDI-"

Rugal began to see a vision of how he spent his Christmas.

A family could be seen walking down a street, on the way home from the lighting up of the local Christmas Tree. The son, a blonde child in a red coat, turned to speak to his Father. "Daddy, Santa come this year?" "Well son, he may ju-" BONK!


The Father fell down to the floor dead, his head caved in with one blow. A teenage Rugal stood before the horrified and petrified family. "Now, I have a proposition for you". Walking away from the street with the contents of the parents' wallets in his pocket, he entered a clothes shop an began to browse. Having purchased a warm jacket, he sat in a restaurant and ordered the most expensive dinner on the menu. However, as he looked out the window, he witnessd an invading Dalek fleet attack Berlin.

Spoiler: THIS ACTUALLY HAPPENED IN DOCTOR WHO, SERIOUSLY

"Oh come on, I was just served!"

The flashback ended abruptly as a laser was about to hit the restaurant. "

YOU REMEMBER THAT CHRISTMAS, DON'T YOU?

"

"I do remember caving that guy's head in, and sleeping under a bridge. I can't really recall then Daleks speaking Gratuitous German"

"

THE WAR AGAINST THE DALEKS FOR THE SURVIVAL OF HUMANITY RAGED ON THROUGHOUT THE REST OF THE SEVENTIES AND THE EIGHTIES. YOU DON'T REMEMBER BECAUSE IT WAS ONLY A PROPHECY AT THE TIME. AND NOW, THE FUTURE THEN HAS BECOME THE PAST NOW

"I understand, and thank you for your cooperation, I shall keep the tablet on my persons. And i must ask before i go, do you have a portal to hell? it is important to retrieve Danielle first as she should be a bit closer tied to Daniel than myself; considering they were once the same." She asked as the sayian stopped at the door to the server room.

"

Rugal was just completely blown away by the level of in-correctness in that flashback.
"..........Right....whatever, I'm convinced I'm completely in a daze right now and I will wake up soon. You can....do whatever it is you are going to do because in the end, you are not real and there is nothing you can do to me." He said, dismissing the entire flashback and denying the Ghost's existence.
"Forget the alien invasion, Which I'm certain I would remember if it had happened, you completely overlooked the fact I killed both the mother and child. They had nice things and I was poor at the time!"

"Remember that I am on that tablet, if you give away any information of our operations, I [u]WILL[/u] know. As for the portal, We have the means to get there, however, Danielle has be classified as a SS-Rank Threat to Cartel operations after she was sighted during our attempted assassination of Dillon and his family and such a expedition would result in her finding our location. I advise using another portal, my trips to G-Corp Databases has shown that they have a working portal and the owner of G-Corp "Kazuya Mishima" should be willing to help. Failing that, have your associate Lily "Mishima" convince him otherwise. Just note that if you go there, you cannot bring your tablet into G-Corp for fear of hacking attempts.

"Tell me about it. If it wasn't for that Second in Command, I might have tipped off some disagreeable authority too. So, did you find out why the two churches were fighting one another?"

She nodded. [color=c20000]"It took a long amount of investigation, but weeding out a small cult eventually unraveled the thread. It went well until I found the novice that had just joined badly maimed talking of Inquisitor Gnomon, the man that had requested my aid. I sent the novice to one of the Flame members waiting in a nearby tavern after I healed his injuries and proceeded further unto the small home that housed the cult. It started to look far more like a temple than the small hovel that was initially reported by the information gathered, and the traps along the stairwell made it clear that something far more sinister was afoot."[/color]

She cleared her throat before continuing. [color=c20000]"Now, although I despised Gnomon for some of his more Zealous actions, I wasn't going to leave him there to die. It all changed when I heard him talking about how the Silver Flame was already on to him. At that moment, I knew that leaving him unchecked would be disastrous, and the rakshasas that I fought in my pursuit corroborated my beliefs."[/color]

Teri knew from previous DnD experience that rakshasas were bad news, and their ability to shapeshift made them dangerous foes indeed.

Teri nodded along again, and took a bite out of her toast;

"So the inquisitor was corrupt! Huh. Funny how that tends to work out. Oh, Hi Ton Ton! My work is going fine, thanks. Help yourself to some breakfast. As you were saying Slindis? What did you do after you found out the Inquisitor was in league with the cult?"

It was very safe to assume that the young cleric in training was enraptured by the story; given that her skills also relied upon weaving a good tale herself.

After getting himself a miniture plate; the Tonberry sat down on the table to listen to the Paladin as well.

Slindis nodded. [color=c20000]"Well, when I finally went down there the Inquisitor revealed himself as a rakshasa in the Lords of Dust. It was difficult to fight him, but after I defeated him and the other Drow there that he was working with. the story came together."[/color]

"He was one too! Oh, right. You did say that they could change shape... So, did you get a promotion for all your hard work? It certainly sounds like you deserve it! And you went in there alone too! That's crazy, you could have gotten yourself killed!"

Ton Ton nodded as well, and spoke, "That is true, Ms. Teri, but you have to remember, Lady Slindis might not have had another opportunity to get help in her offensive. For all she knew, the false people could have moved to another base of hiding; and that would put her back in square one. Speaking as one who often had to take on hordes of enemies alone back home, I can't fault her methods."

"Nah, i can choose to appear in any form i desire. Little children are more easily trusted in any person's eyes, unless they've been betrayed by one. So it is easiest to move around as a young child." Lily said seasoning the tuna with a very large number of spices. Then she tossed it onto the grill to sear the fish, smells that would make even a vegetarian's mouth water filling the room.

The girl then turned to the group seated. "Let me adjust myself." she said and a large number of black souls began to circle around herself, obscuring her from the rest of the group. A minute later, they disappeared and revealed the more mature Lily standing before them, roughly 5ft 4.

Spoiler: Image

Lily focused and the wings on her back retracted themselves back into her, along with the horns on her head. "Much better, i sometimes get cramps from the child's body." she said taking the tuna off of the grill and thinly slicing it. SHe brought it over to the table and picked up chopsticks, beginning to eat. "so whats it to you?" she asked.

"Do you insist on continuously decreasing your natural life span Mr. Nguyen?" Klaara said between gritted teeth, her hands gripped the top of her knees until her knuckles turned white. Then in perhaps the most incomprehensible set of actions that Mark could of expected, Klaara took out her tablet and typed something into it quickly and calmly.

There was a ripple in the air at her feet and the stomach acid and all that it contained instantly vanished. Moreover she had planted an actual bomb in the pilot's seat of the airplane... with Mark's fingerprints on it.

She ran her hands through her air and kicked back, placing her arms underneath her sweatshirt and gave a cold blue stare to the Japanese security officials in archaic, but slightly broken, Japanese,

Time: Night​

Black Heart turned his attention to Puce, and lumbered up to him, placing that grotesque semi-human face right up to Puce's own, "You can answer that yourself," he growled before swinging his head away from Puce, "I have given her ample time to resolve this issue by herself, and she has done nothing but regress further into psychosis, develop an obsession with a genetically incompatible female, and begin to harm herself mentally by repressing those psychotic impulses. Her body is completely resistant to all forms of mental pharmaceuticals, therefore I do conclude that invasive surgery is the only way to cure her of her disease."

The great beast shook suddenly and stamped down on the floor of the room, "Your Succubus friend is making quite... the... FUSS!"

---​

Kurumu suddenly felt the tendrils tighten even further, now to the point that they cut into both her clothes and flesh, then the shadows wrapped themselves around her and bound her hands and feet together before lifting her into the air and slamming her against the wall.

"MAMA!" Kyre cried out, reaching with one hand toward the bound Succubus.

BlackHarte moved his hand to the side and flung Kurumu across the room and through the wall, landing her in the next room, which was a dark stone dungeon filled with all sorts of interesting.. implements. Then BlackHarte motioned back with his hand and the Succubus came flying back into the room before smashing into the other wall. "This is young master's dream. I have completely control here."

Then as if to turn things for the worst, the dark tendrils binding Kurumu vanished suddenly causing the Succubus to drop to the floor. Her skin was cut and bruised.

Kyre was had thrown her arms around BlackHarte's neck and was crying hysterically, "Don't hurt mama! Don't hurt mama! I won't forgive you if you hurt mama!"

BlackHarte put his hand on Kyre's head and pushed her gently off of him, "Please go to sleep Young Master, this will be over soon. Just let your loyal servant work."

Shaun.
Location: His room.
Time: The night of Christmas.

As Shaun had the Tv next to him set on watching an anime DvD, cause no channel in Australia broadcasts live anime and he has NO connection to Japan... funnily enough it was interrupted by a news program. "What the... two passengers stopped a bombing... one was drunk. Heading to Perth..." Muttering to himself, but not bothered to watch the rest he immediately turned it back over to his anime with a cold shiver running down his spine.


"No one is ruining my Christmas day!" He said as he raised a cider to his lips and gasped. "Ahh, I love a forever alone Christmas night." He spat out as he remembered that everyone came over earlier for Christmas dinner. "I wonder what they are doing now?" He sat as he began to look on the AA again.

Dark Tomoya.
Location: Blakchawke.
Time: N/A.

"I hate Christmas!" He yelled to himself in the abandoned by highly decorated command center. Tomoya held a large bottle of coke by his side as he fell asleep. "Lucky bastard actually got to have Christmas with... his... fam... Zzzzz" Dark Tomoya said fading to sleep hating on the Christmas day.

Riki & Kud.
Location: Rising Dawn. Their (Tomoya's previous) room.
Time: Whatever time it is. Either late night or early morning.

The couple woke on their bed as they came back from Shaun's Christmas party. They looked at each other and giggled. Riki looked beside him and saw the time. "Hmmm, sun should be rising soon, but I don't feel tired." He said as he got up from the bed and stretched. "Want a drink to celebrate Christmas?" He looked over to Kud who sat up and yawned like a young puppy. "Hmmm, yes pleeeease~" She said walking off to the bathroom. Riki got out a fancy bottle of appetizer and poured it into two Champaign glasses.

Opening the door to the balcony the fresh and cool morning air filled the room. As Kud came out of the bathroom she was handed the other glass. "Riki is this-", "No... no. We're too young, this is simply fizzy apple juice." He interrupted as the two sat out on the balcony snuggled up together watching the rising sun.
