"I don't know the situation," said Jade to Nova, "but maybe this guy-" he motions to Akuma, "-may be onto something with that."
Meanwhile, the two Arwings land in a clearing and the c0ckpit doors open up. Two foxes jump out from their aircrafts, and the Arwings teleport away.

"I can't seem to get a break huh?" Nova said, "Who was that guy anyway? Seem he knows you Akuma."
"Too well. The idiot thinks I have demon blood when it's the martial art I use."
"Doesn't help your case when you fight like one..."
"Do you want help or not?!"
"Pass...I know what will happen to you in the future and I'm not going there."
"how did you snap the big fella out of it like that? can't be just your voice," Sans asked me.
"More than that. Something about the pitch."
----------------
The man reappears in a castle before bowing down to someone, a voice asking, "Is it done, Goenitz?"
"Forgive me. As it was almost a success if it wasn't that woman with him as well the townspeople."
"Do not concern yourself as it shows it works should he be alone again. Now the seers..."
"They were both there."
"Good, I hope they see the vision of the death of everything as Nova witnessed so many times plague them. Now, I need you to do the next part as well as I. Capture the newborn."
"Yes, my lord."

The four men said nothing to this, with Luke looking at the villagers with curiosity.

Jade turns to see the two foxes walk toward the rest of the group.
"Well, I wasn't expecting to see you all again so soon," James joked with a smile.
"But orders are orders," sighed Jordan, also joking.
Sara approached him, "Hey, you had a good break for a few months, so you no right to complain," she wraps her arms on Jordan's shoulders and embraces him, "I missed you, though."
"So will Fay and Miyu be rejoining us soon?" asked Jade as he watches the two break away from each other.
James shook his head and confirms, "It's just Jordan and I for this mission. General Pepper didn't feel the need to involve anyone else this time."
"That's probably for the best," said Sara.
"I see, and I don't believe Snake will be rejoining us either," Jade said.
"And you'd be right," confirmed Jordan, "Pepper himself also confirmed that with us before we left."
"But we'll discuss that later," James told everyone as he glances over at them, "is everyone all right?"

The four men rush over to where the two pilots were, as well as the group of four, now six, apparently.
"Nice to see you again," Tikal told them, "albeit late."
"Couldn't have come at a better time, actually," spoke the swordsman clone, looking around.
{I'm going to wait for G2 now. Sorry Melee.}

{Sorry about that. Was doing something.}
"Good call. Big guy was about to lose it," I said, "This guy did something to him, and it's great I snapped him out of it, but.."
"whoa, slow down," Sans said seeing I was in panic.
"Sorry about that," I say to that.

"What did the guy do?" asked Jordan.
"We are unsure as of yet," Alvis told him, "along with the danger level of the threat."
"Although we might need to adjust tactics now that the newborn has arrived." Astor told them, "It was her the man was after."
"Newborn?" James questioned before remembering, "You mean-?"
"Yes," Sara said to them, "she arrived just a little while ago."
"'She'?" Jordan questioned, "and how's she and Sophia doing?"
"They'll be fine as long as we keep them safe from those people..." she turns away, "whoever they were."

"I think he wants my daughter..." Nova said, "And tried to control me so it would be easier to capture her. I sensed dread these last few days on this."
"Now I'm worried," Neutron said, "Thought something was up."
"Is that why you're here?"
"More or less. That and get on Spark's nerves."

Astor smirked, "Hm, I don't believe their generals will even be here to protect them this time," he turns to Sara, "especially her."
That made Jordan bare his teeth until Sara spoke up, "Don't worry about me so much. I can stay behind and keep an eye on Sophia and Scarlett. I mean, isn't that why I'm here?"
"Sorry to disappoint you," James smirked back at Neutron, "but Astor's right; it's just Jordan and I this time, which reminds me; I'm aware that I may have played a small role in being leader of the group even though I said I wasn't one anymore."
"You're just now catching on after all these months?" Jordan questioned.
"Therefore, I'm making my official statement now that my leadership for this mission is non-existent and will remain as such,"
"Sure, sure," Jordan smirked, "until your instinct as leader kicks in again."
James shook his head, "I mean it this time, Jordan, and if anyone has an issue with it, well, I'm sorry, but my mind's made up."
"So, no leadership, and no contact with the base," Jordan sighed, sensing that James was dead serious this time, "this is really summing up to be one hell of a mission."
"YOU don't have contact, but Jade and I still do," Sara told everyone, "we were made to cut contact, but Pepper reinstated it."
"But contacting the base will remain private and during off mission hours only," Jade confirmed, "I'd rather not have them involved anymore than they were a few months ago. Corneria City needs it's generals, after all."
"Wise decision," Alvis nods.
"I full-heartily agree, Jade," James confirmed, "and thank you for that."

"Now it isn't," he said, ignoring the glare, "Can't a man have a little fun?"
"Think you could send someone to take them away from here?" I asked

"And I seem to recall a certain nurse who can't even do so much as a simple scratch-damage to one of my hollows," Astor told her with seriousness, "so tell me, vixen, how do you expect to protect the child and her mother if you can't even defend yourself?"
"I-uh," she sighed.
Astor crossed his arms, "Well??"
"In such situation, it would be wise to call in an escort for Sara," Alvis agreed.
"So you're not staying with us?" Jordan asked her.
Sara shook her head, "My part is finished: I helped deliver the baby, and made sure she and Sophia were healthy. Now all I can provide is further assistance by being their home-nurse, that is, if you, Sophia, and Nova don't mind."
"I just want you to be safe, Sara," Jordan told her, "otherwise, I don't mind if everyone else is OK with it."

"For your sake, unless you can actually fight, it's best you stay behind," Armstrong told Sara, secretly wanting her to stay so that she wouldn't slow everyone down.
"I have to agree," Tikal replied.
"But what if one of us gets seriously hurt?" asked Luke.
"That's what potions and beans are for, remember?" questioned the clone.

"I like to see them try anyway," Sophia said, hinting something.
"Ah yes...I forgot she has a secret of her own," Nova said, "One I think you need the protection from her and one that can kill in seconds if she wanted to."

"In other words, Sophia can protect herself?" asked Jordan.
"That makes things easier," Jade said, "although I suspect it's more of protecting your wife, than it is her caring for Sophia and her daughter, right?"
Sara dropped the tension in her shoulders and shot a glare, "Jordan...!!"
Jordan didn't falter, "You said yourself, honey, you're more of a healer than a fighter, didn't you?"
"That doesn't excuse you to make me feel useless right now!"
"You're anything BUT useless!"
Alvis stepped in, "Uh, excuse me, but-"
"Return your attention to the state of the matter," Astor warned, "and dispose your marital quarrels this instant."
She sighs, "I really don't mind what we do now that I know Sophia can care for herself and the baby," she turns to Nova and Sophia, "so I'll leave the final decision to you two."

"I have to stay with the baby...I know that for a fact," Sophia said, knowing she can't fight at this time, "But I think it's best for her to stay with Sara. I'm still trying to recover."
"Your call, honey," Nova said.

"Well, if Sophia can care for herself and the kid, I think it's fair for Sara to come with us," Luke said to everyone, "I mean, if she wants to."
"She made it this far with us without getting hurt, for the most part," admitted Tikal, "but I still have doubts."
"Yeah, there's an idea, let the fox and infant, both who are unable defend themselves, come along with us into this hell," the clone rolled his eyes.
"Don't you think that maybe he means have the fox stay with Sophia and her kid where it's safe??" Armstrong told him, making the clone back off at this point.

"Everyone slow down!" Jade told them, "I think it's far too risky to give the baby to anyone who might get caught in a battle sooner or later. It might be best for Sara to stay with Sophia and the others to help look after her and the child. There's no need for any unreasonable risks."
"Jordan, what do you think?" James asked his service partner.
The dark colored fox heaved out a sigh, "I think...Sara, Sophia, and the child, should stay put-" he turns to Sara who was about to object, "-at least until Sophia and the baby are settled in and there's no danger to them anymore, then you can join us again. OK?"
"Jordan, I-" Sara tried to speak.

"Yes," Nova simply said, rolling his eyes before starting to call someone, hinting that was what was she was talking about the whole time, "Fine, but the enemy knows about this spot."
Neutron said, "Hold that thought."

Alvis caught the eye roll from Nova, but before he could speak, the white fox beat him to it.
"What's wrong?" Sara asks Neutron.

"Someone is listening in," he said, and even the good clone stopped an looked away.
"Not surprised at this point," I said, then heard a shout a moment later.

"Either make up your minds, or we're leaving without you," sighed Luke, before he and the other men heard a shout, putting them all on alert.
"Now what?!" Armstrong questioned, turning to the direction of the shout as he stood up.

I soon spot Kira walking up, and said, "He won't be a threat now."
"You blew him up, didn't you?" I asked.
"No, just scared him with Shear Heart Attack. He ran off when he saw it. I noticed some men walking around here as of late."
"Great, so it's not safe here at all."
Sans starts to think and thought, "i wonder..."

"Figures," sighed Jordan, then to Sara and Sophia, "I guess you two might be coming with us after all."
"You sound disappointed," Sara joked despite the situation, then got serious, "don't worry about me so much, and focus on the safety of Sophia and her baby. They're the priorities since it's the baby the enemy's after, not me. OK?!"
"Sara-"
"End of discussion...!" her eyes held a sharp glare.

"What's on your mind?" I asked the skeleton, making him snap out of it.
"well it's a long shot, but i've been thinking...about how the others would think if you visited the underground, you know?" he said, "i know someone that loves kids and she'll protect them with her life."

"very. just give me a moment to give her a call," he said and got out a cell phone of his own, "hello? hey tori, think you could do me a favor? how do you feel about helping with nova's little one?" He suddenly laughs and said, "no joke, just get ready if you want me to pick you up. all good? great, give me a moment."
He hung up and said, before snapping his fingers, "sit tight, i'll be right back."

Sans came back with a female monster and she said, "I can't never get used to that." She spots the others and sounded, "Oh!"  "it's ok Tori," Sans said, "These are my friends." {I'm out, should have been long ago} |
