Republic Beginnings - Assasination of Marcus Shimada

A luxury yacht on the high seas, it was a triple decker simply cruising right now having left the port about two hours ago, with a course set for a private island. But there was no rush instead the yacht was a sight filled with merriment and depravity. Within the first level was a party hosted by Marcus's right hand man, Johnny he was currently drinking fine champane while getting head from one of the whores they had purchased. The rest of the upper class of gaurds were dancing drinking and doing other things of merriment. In total there were 15 of them including Johnny in on the first level.

The second level was a minature fight club, currently 8 of Marcus's men were betting on one of the female members of the group who was fighting one of the guys for money making ten total. After all to survive in the cut throat shipping world of Marcus as a woman one had to be tougher than any of the guys in the employ. In total there were only 3, the one who was currently fighting Cynthia, and the two others Jessy and Kate who were on the top level patrolling and the bottom level in a four-way with Marcus respectively. The aforementioned top level was were the captain of the yacht was, Marcus's third in command Derrick along with the patrolling bodyguards including Jessy who numbered at 9 total.

The sublevel which was a floor completely dedicated towards Marcus and his playmates, a nicer version of his "top class" whores he had purchased via the slave trade along with Kate his mistress and perhaps the most ruthless of his bodyguards. There were currently 8 of them participating in the "fun" those who had protested of course had been disposed off. All in all there were about 65 people on the yacht, 35 of them were bodygaurds, 1 was Marcus and the remaining 29 were those sold into slavery aptly named whores.

Mission...Start.

The shadow soared across the waters surface so fast it was near impossible to follow, a sheer blink would cause even the most attentive to miss it. Goa flew at its comfortable speed, zoning in on the party boat from miles away, the closer the pair got, the harder they became to be seen. The storm clouds were rolling forwards from the direction in which they came, I suppose it was only fate that this poor ship of corruption be lost at sea, forever crippling the Epsilon Republic. Of course, for that story to fly, one must ensure none live to tell the truth of the event, even those poor girls who had no choice in the matter, but the sacrifice of a few for the benefit of many. As the black flash of a cloud drifting over the ship, it would return to the darkness of the storm clouds leagues, only making his entry when the light was in his favor. Neo had dropped off with precision timing, his aura still rending him unseen, using an invisible cloud to cushion the drop in order to avoid sound.

Now on the ship's top deck, he'd look around, a vast majority of people casually doing as they please, from security to well, i think they are all security, but they were all enjoying themselves. In a place like this, the best stealth approach was always going in without one, having something to hide is what gives you away. When out at sea, everyone on this boat was accepted on, their won't be ID checks unless by the crew selection member them self. Finding a nice corner, Neo would release his aura, the clouds remaining invisible as Neo moved to head down to the next level casually, walking much like everyone else, much like he was suppose to be here, a fellow invitee to bask in the glory of a slaves body and a rich mans liquor. Oh, and if your wondering how Neo found this place, Suki has been following in the water since they left port, blending with the undersea wildlife, and Goa simply kept tabs on that.

Spoiler:

Neo's approach was smart however if he was spotted by the partrols he'd be fished out immediately after all only those in Marcus's payroll were allowed on the boat for this retreat which was actually a major buisness deal which would take place in a couple days at Marcus' island home. As it was he had just missed one of the patrolls with said bodyguard having turned the corner as Neo made his way to go down the staircase. There were four staircases which went to the top level, north which he just took, south which was the main staircase, east and west being auxillary ones for use during emergencies. To get to the first level however there were two main staircases but the way it was arranged one could move from the 2nd level balcony to the 1st level if they just hopped over the railing, in the center of the 2nd floor however was an elevator which led to the first floor as well as the sub level however it was currently surrounded by bodygaurds who while tipsy weren't nearly as drunk as their comrades.

The 2nd level was more like an intermediate level and a game room type of deal, with the fight club having a fighting ring, there were pool tables, as well as a dart board. While the people bet three of them weren't really paying full attention to the fight in actuality they were taking turns on the dart board. Said dart board spun and had a person, one of the whores who was fully naked and looked around 13 with one of her legs sliced due to the near miss of the throwing knives they were using as darts. There were about 5 more knives embedded in different places which had numbered targets. Four of them were cheering for the ones who were fighting while the last one was buy the door smoking a cigarette looking at the sky outside. The ones on the top floor would continue in their debauchery as well as Marcus and Kate having their orgy down below, clearly this ship did deserve to be destroyed but was eliminating all of them the answer.

Neo would walk into the room, stop for a brief period to scout it out, before walking around, half considering joining into one of the various activities. Lets see, by the looks of it we have drinking, fucking, throwing and fighting. I suppose it couldn't hurt to have a nice tussle, right? Walking over to the fight club, Neo would stand back to assess his competitors, whomever seemed interested in going anyway, as well as offering a quick glance to all those who had previously fallen. It really wasn't much of a line to be honest, and with a girl of all things leading the board, what is wrong with this generation, first Yvette, then some hipster and a monk in the west. It was getting out of hand to be honest. But like, how much could this chick really compare to the loli he was used to seeing. Speaking of which, Neo would also take a productive glance at the young girl with the appetizing slice on her leg, purely for work purposes of course. What a Yvette. He think to himself before moving on.

He'd be standing near the man by the window, pulling out his own cigarette and lighting it up as he took a quick glance to see what this weirdo was looking at. "Beware of storm clouds." He'd say upon seeing little more then the empty sky with its pathetic masses of moisture and gas forming white bubbles of crap. Clouds, nothing but a bother. Moving closer to the ring or whatever it was, silently bumping his way to the front to see what was happening, and how soon he may get his chance to play. Obviously he will need to tone it done a bit, after all, he will be killing all these people not long after, so he won't be fighting with anything really, just like some captain America shit, faster, stronger, more receptive. Experience would be about the only thing anyone could take from it, but even then, he may just be able to beat all these fools. Oh, for the sake of this purpose, Neo cut his hair, updating his appearance to the one below, also wearing sunglasses to hide his right eye.

Spoiler:

People had noticed him walk in but didn't pay him any mind really at least all but the cigarette smoker who had nodded in greeting before continuing to smoke. Since Neo would walk up to him he would look at the sky before sighing as he too had seen that it was stormy which was never a good thing, truth be told he was scared of boats and was smoking to calm his nerves never able to truly relax when on one. Yep, I hate the ocean. Don't know why the boss had to build a base on an island doesn't he know anything about tsunami's and hurricanes and shit. the guy said before taking another pull and exhaling from his nose. He wouldn't say much else unless Neo had something else to say, which he didn't since he just walked away to go see what the fighting was about.

The woman would let out a strong right knocking out the other person in the ring before the bodyguards would cheer causing her to smirk and place her leg on her unconcious opponent. Who's next he said looking towards the crowd, obviously high due to the adrenaline the blood still pounding in her ears and obviously looking to start a streak of some sort. She would see Neo before smirking having not seen him before and figuring him to be a newbie who had just gotten into Marcus's good graces. How about you glasses, you fancy a fight with me, or are you too pussy. she said causing the others to laugh and jeer like this was a common occurence, a hazing ritual perhaps?

Aiya's life up to this point had been hell. She was born to her parents naturally and everything was going just fine. They were a high class family, her father being the head of a very large company. She lived the first few years of her life in Luxury. ~~But everything changed when the fire nation attacked~~. One day however her father made a rather risky investment and got tricked and outsmarted by a crime lord. The crime lord came to Aiya's father's house and stripped him of everything he owned, even his own daughter. Her family was left in poverty while she was whisked away as a toy for the crime lord and his lackies.

It had been a week since she was taken away, now currently in the sub levels of the yacht. She tried to avoid being seen as much as possible, she hadn't been defiled by any of the men yet and she barely managed to slip by without detection. They were too caught up in the older and more experienced women, but she was smart enough to realize if they noticed what she was they would be all over her in a heartbeat. She just hoped they would get to their destination fast enough for her to avoid partaking in the rather disgusting activities of the cluster of bodies on the other side of the room. She averted her eyes from them as much as she could, the boss was there, and the site of him alone made her sick, much less what he was doing.

Neo would raise his head slightly, the crowd laughing, thinking him to be little more then some new recruit in over his head. A small smirk would find its way to his lips as he took just a few steps forwards, entering into the circle, glasses and everything, looking all thug and what not. His mind would flicker back to the Genin exams long ago, with the poor girl whom ended as his opponent. Funny, this circumstance reminds him so much of that, of course, this one was older and a hell of a lot more deserving, however the tactic won't change. Neo would take one hand out of his pocket, making a knife form across his chest as he'd stare her down for a little while. "Be more careful with how you chose your opponents, miss." He'd say, before suddenly slicing the air, one of this invisible clouds surrounding him coating his hand to make it a blade, as well as causing it to diappear, hence making it seem a lot faster then it really was, ending in its starting position in his pocket.

Although it only struck the air, it would still use the displacement aura to slice her throat, not just hers either, but all whom were on the floor at the time, both crooks and slaves alike, as the strike would multiply and spread through the clouds to take care of them all at once. The ash on his cigarette would flop slightly, before falling to the ground as it lit up for a short moment, followed by and exhale of smoke. Storm clouds would roll in, the sun slowly disappearing as the roar from Goa could be heard erupting from the sky, as he now had the cover needed to remain hidden. Neo however would remain in his spot under the assumption that any somehow managed to foresee the undetectable and unexpected attack and lived, ready to counter their returning actions. However in the case of success, Neo would continue to proceed down to the next floor for round two, not even bothering to take a last glance at the poor 13 year old girl whom was just in an unfortunate position.

Spoiler:

Well that wasn't expected, the woman would clutch her throat blood spilling out of it while the rest of them would slump to the ground after blood gushed out from each of them causing them to choke on their own blood. None of them could even scream in warning, one moment it was laughter and now it was eerie quiet though with the noise from the first floor it wasn't like anyone noticed. Perhaps the only sad part was that the poor girl strapped to the dart board would have her blood drip down onto her nude body a victim of circumstance but at least this way she would be free. The actions down on the first floor would continue however the roar from the Goa Magara was just taken to been some sort of odd thunder after all it was stormy wasn't it, none of them had heard a Goa Magara roar before so they weren't as afraid as they should of been perhaps that was a blessing in disguise.

Meanwhile in the top level the Captain would sigh deciding to switch the radar on, though due to Goa flying high there was no blip detecting anything was around them. Down in the sub-level Marcus and Kate would grow a bit bored before the latter would point to two women who weren't partaking in the orgy. The first was to the right while the other was somewhat close to Aiya who thankfully hadn't been noticed yet. Come come...I won't bite. Kate said with a lusty gaze the women moving closer to her before she would quickly lash out at bullet release speeds before opening her mouth revealing her enlongated fangs only to chomp into her neck. She woman would scream before her eyes rolled to the back of her head with Kate withdrawing the blood trailing down her chin while Marcus would chuckle at what happened. Hey stop laying around and join in the fun. he said with one of his trademark cigars, sure enough the woman who had just been bitten would stand up with glazed eyes and move to eat out one of the women on the bed.

Each one of them sporting bite marks on at least one part of their body, that was how they were bound to Marcus beyond just money, their minds twisted so that they could never leave even if they wanted to or were stolen away. They would always be branded, and find their way back to their owners. Next. she said the woman taking a step back with Kate tutting before she became a blur of movement once more, this time instead of biting she would rip the womans heart out the blood splashing on the floor as she simply let the body drop. The music wouldn't stop nor would any of the bitten ones even react to it, but it would serve to terrify the rest into obedience, either obey or die that was the only choice they had.

Aiya breathed a sigh of relief as two girls nearby her were called over. She was incredibly lucky not to have been noticed yet. She didn't know what to do. She had no one anymore, she missed her family, but she knew even if she escaped she would never see them again. From here on out she was alone, and she wasn't too sure she could make it in life on her own, she wasn't the most streetsmart girl out there, she was sheltered and coddled most of her life. She wanted to cry but she held it in, she didn't want to draw attention to herself. No she had to act to get herself out of this situation, she had to look out for herself now. Aiya began searching around the room for an escape. There was the initial entrance which she would never get through, but perhaps there was another way.

Aiya's eyes made contact with the scene as Kate bit into one of the girls and tore out her heart. Aiya's eyes widened in fear and she let out a shriek, quickly cupping her mouth. That was it, she made a loud noise, it was over for her. Now it wasn't just a matter of being violated, she would be killed too by that crazy woman. Is this what rich people could get away with? Such awful things? If so Aiya wanted to be rich, if only to stop these kinds of things from happening... it was just so terrible. She would never have that chance though, she knew, because now she was found, she was doomed to die here in the center of an orgy. Her life had been so short and she didn't do anything constructive with it at all. Aiya felt useless and defenseless. She turned and faced Kate, looked at the blood covering her chin and shuddered, but she was ready to face it, if she went down it would be with a fight, as weak as she was she would be able to cause some sort of problem for the man that ruined her life.

Upon getting to the 1st floor, Neo would look around, a party for rich assholes, payed security and cheap slavery. None really posing a real threat to be perfectly honest. But his staircase ended here, yet Marcus was still no where to be seen? There must be one more...There were the emergency exit routes, no doubt leading down below, as well as the sinister elevator. Turning around, Neo would walk back up to level two, calling the elevator which was now unguarded, and taking it down to this "sublevel' which no doubt holds the secret location of the multinational millionaire slaver trader and shipyard owner, Marcus the bastard. Hopefully, though with the tight security unlikely, the elevator wouldn't stop at the first floor, bypassing it completely. The rest of this post will act under the assumption that it does, since Neo would do the sneaky elevator trick of holding down the close door button while pressing his floor, which in modern day times actually makes your stop a priority and skips all floors. In most anyway.

As the doors opened, the scene before him was quite...interesting. Again, I will pray that this isn't one of those "ding" elevators, because that would be irritating. The moment the doors open, Neo would slice the guards throats, before swallowing eight clouds to take on his demonic form in the second cruse stage, allowing him to take the appearance of a bringer of death ready to sentence Marcus. His bitch was there too it seemed. Just to make sure he knew of Neo's arrival, Neo would also have killed all his whores when touching down, all except the vampire of course. His cigarette, only being used passively, was still in tact, dropping yet another stash of ash as Neo walked out onto the floor. "Marcus and Kate. The pair of you are no longer required within the services of Epsilon. That was all Neo would say before cutting at the air once more, this time using his aura speed form to do it at blinding light, aimed to Slice Kate's head and Marcus's tongue."

Spoiler:

It seems Neo was right but the elevator would make a ding sound causing Marcus to stop with his decadence while Kate looked towards the opening doors, sure enough death would soon follow however Kate's eyes would change into two different dojutsu one courtesy of her and Marcus' anniversary the other her natural eye, while Marcus would fade away only to manifest on the first floor as his mistress had saved him during Neo's monologe. One of the "whores" having been one of Kate's doppelgangers though it was easy to mistake her as something different after all Doppelgangers often while resembling the original look somewhat different. You made a mistake...boy. Kate said being cut blood dripping from her throat before it sealed up Kate smiling savagely before the dead whores would have blood droplets rise from their bodies each one behind aimed at Neo moving through the air at vacuum release speeds. Kate herself would cock her arm back before throwing the heart in her hand at blinding light the blood spraying around mainly to blur his vision.

Upon on the first level the Kate Doppelganger would drop off Marcus. We are under attack an assassin from the Republic is attempting to kill the boss. Get him to safety Johnny. Kate said with Johnny nodding pulling up his pants as one of his minions hit an alarm which went out through the entire yacht. They had to protect the boss and get to one of the speed boats as a result one of the minions would pick up Marcus before they all ran towards the right of the first level. Johnny barking out orders as those who remained alive would watch the elevator while running around the yacht to determine how many of them were dead. It seems the assasination was a bust now it was just time to kill things.

Name: Cursed Seal of the Vampire
Classification: Juinjutsu (Pandora Only)
Rank: S-rank
Class: Supplementary
Range: Short/Self

Description: The user creates a seal the size of their outstretched palm, first making a six pointed star before writing six kanji in each opening, in the order starting clockwise from the top “Alter Appearance,” “Enhance Physical,” “Increase Chakra,” “Cease Aging,” “Accelerate Regeneration,” and “Sunlight Damage.” This cursed seal when applied will cause the host's eyes color to change red, and their canines to become like fangs. In addition their physical abilities, tiers, will be raised by 1-rank, and their chakra limit will be increased by 1-race. The host will further gain a form of semi-immortality where they do not age, while also gaining accelerated regeneration, allowing them to heal from damage 1-rank below their rank. With all its advantages, the flaw of this Cursed Seal, is that the host takes spiritual damage equal to their rank each post when under sunlight. Because of all the advantages, this is considered one of the more complex types of cursed seals.

Just as Aiya expected to gain the attention Marcus and Kate, their attention instead turned to the elevator and as the doors opened suddenly there was a large amount of blood and dead women laying around Aiya. A man with red hair walked in and Marcus... disappeared? Kate was there but after throwing the heart at the man she disappeared too. Now Aiya was left in the room with the man who had killed a dozon or more people in a second flat. She wasn't sure if she was more terrified of him or Kate. Though he seemed to be against Kate and Marcus, so whether he was a bad person or not, he was her only shot at getting out of that place. Now that there was a distraction and an alarm going off she could easily leave, but he was still standing in the doorway, and she was terrified of him. She sat back in the corner, her eyes still wide from everything that happened the past few minutes. "Please help me, I-i'm not like the others here, just let me pass and I'll find my own way out. I swear I won't tell anyone about anything, I just want my life." she said to him, shifting over to sitting on her knees and putting her head down in submission to him.

Neo would raise an eyebrow, before simply moving to the side of the elevator, hiding behind the corner where the buttons where while the blood bullets shot past him, obliterating the wall behind him. Obviously due to this being the sub level, that would create leakage, however due to being in the middle, it wouldn't happen all too fast. Once the blood pellets had stopped flying, Neo would continue to move out, Kate still down there because I don't believe she left, only the dopple, with another little girl whom was begging for her life it seemed, not realizing that the bitch was still around. In any case, this was still an assassination. With Neo's clouds spread across the boat, he had the effective range to target everywhere, all at once. This was something that he really hated doing, it takes the fun out of fighting, but this wasn't playtime, it was work, and work was about to be compromised, so new standards had to be made.

This bitch though, what a loose nut she was, throwing blood around and such. Honestly it was really interesting, something to look into in the future maybe. In any case, Neo would once again slice the air at Ripping Discord speed, with Some A-Rank strength or something pointless like that. The aura speed form being used to increase its lethality of course. Multiplying it not just within his own range, but the range of all his clouds, like a copy and paste motive, every square inch within the yacht would receive the damage, no doubt turning all floors into a blood bath, and hopefully dealing with the vampire as well. Now obviously I don't know the distances in this ship. But 30 feet surrounding each cloud, spread specifically for the purpose of extending aura range should essentially be enough considering by this point we are up to eighteen clouds. 17 not including the one used for the bladed hand. If successful in at the very least, killing this kate lady, then Neo would simply make a "come here" motion to the little girl who wouldn't have been hit, before walking to the emergency staircase, since it was dangerous to use the elevator during flood damage...it also had no back anymore. Yeah, thank god for this silent killing huh.

Spoiler:

Well that ended abruptly, while this wonderful mod could find a way out of it and punish you for your...cheapness it's too much of a hassle and thus Marcus and his goons would die courtesy of clouds and displacement aura yay. Either way all but two people remained alive on this boat, the first being the one who killed everyone Neo and the second being a poor former sex-slave named Aiya. Now all that remained was deciding what to do with her, disposing of the boat and reporting back to the Republic to inform the Kumicho on a mission success. Not really much to report other than death, tons of death all around, and the floors were stained with it. Couldn't resell this yacht now even if someone wanted to best to burn it with fire and let it sink under the sea or something. What else to type..hm yeah nothing much, I would say mission success and all but it's not done yet until all the evidence was disposed off.

Aiya watched as the man did something else, she wasn't sure what it is, but he was clearly a shinobi of some sort, maybe a missing nin? He seemed to be very powerful, but surely the fact that most of the people on the yacht weren't shinobi made infiltrating it an almost effortless job for him. He mentioned epsilon though, so perhaps he worked for them. Aiya herself didn't know much about epsilon, she knew it was one of the large factions in the world vying for power and consisted of mostly civilians. So was this guy not a shinobi? He seemed to have the powers of one. She didn't know much about the specifics of being an ex-shinobi, she always figured they were all missing nin.

As she wondered about the man, he beckoned Aiya to follow him. It seemed he would not only let her live, but help her escape the now flooding yacht. Whoever he was she was indebted to him for saving her life... and her integrity. Aiya followed him to the emergency staircase and would continue to follow him until they were safely out of the yacht. Noticing the large amount of corpses upstairs. Had one man really done all this by himself? It was a slaughter, he was strong. Aiya thought about what she would do now that she had attained her freedom. She couldn't go back home, she had nothing, all her riches were gone. She had to start from the ground up and build a life for herself. She thought back to her father's stories of how he became a prominent businessman, how he gained his riches. He started out as a simple merchant, finding and creating things and selling them, buying things for cheap and selling them at a higher price. Perhaps she could do it too, it didn't sound terribly hard. However the business of going out and finding things was dangerous in this world at the current time, wars were going on, battles were everywhere, and crime was high. Aiya knew she was weak, it would be difficult for her to go out alone and make her way as a merchant without help. She would have to think of a way around this, she needed protection, and she had no money for hiring it at the moment.

Oh good, it looks like the little girl with the brain of a teenager was following him up to the top level. Honestly, I'm not sure how I feel about a teenager clinging from my body all the time, just at least pretend to be a little girl so Neo can have that ease of mind in the future. Something young and small to raise and protect is beautiful, something self sustaining is pointless and not worth the effort of maintaining, he'll just dish her off to Yvette for the school in the latter case. In fact, he'll never even admit that he likes her, nor the opposite. Anything to do with her will just be ignored, like she was just an extension of himself. Words most likely never being exchanged besides maybe calling for her if for some odd reason they were seperated. Wait, what am I talking about, none of this would happen, right? He just saved her life, she'll go about her own business afterwards. Hardcore yakuza gangsters don't play with little kids.

In any case, upon getting to the top floor, Neo would revert to his original form, before a chain would unseal itself, unwrapping itself from his arm he dragged it along to the end of the deck before turning, throwing his arm in the air and whipping it back down, the chain moving in a weird way as it swoshed around and sliced the entire ship in half, causing their end to lift up as everything begun to fall towards the middle. With his free hand, neo would grab the girl, tucking her under his shoulder before jumping into the air, Goa swopping down and picking them up from below as the ship sunk. Honestly, it was a terrifying creature, hopefully it wouldn't freak the girl out too much. Anyway, this far out from shore, a sinking ship was unlikely to be found as the sea floor was far to deep for anyone to ever get to, lest investigate. Besides, with these clouds, it would just be passed off as a freak accident due to an unpredictable storm. As the trio + a giant shark in the water, made their way away from the scene, Neo would let the girl go and sit down, not daring to take of his glasses as it would only result in the poor girl dying earlier then needed. Not only that but it went so fast he didn't even have time to finish his cigarette.

Aiya followed behind him and at the top level he stopped and changed back to how he was before, which looked more... normal. He had long red hair. She loved the color red, that's why she always dressed in it. His face looked a little rough but he had the look of someone with a nicer side. Surely it was there, otherwise he wouldn't have saved her in the first place. He didn't seem to say much, just went about his business. She didn't mind, it's just that the situation was very tense and she was still a bit frightened by the fact he killed so many people so quickly. Yeah they were her captors that destroyed her family's life and enslaved Aiya herself, but that didn't change the fact that he killed an entire yacht of people in a matter of seconds. Aiya realized she was probably overthinking it and dropped it.

She watched with bewilderment as he seemingly summoned a long sort of chain out of no where and began whipping it around. Next thing she knew the yacht was cut in half and he grabbed her. The grab wasn't rough, it was actually warm and careful. He minded her rather small body and was gentle with her. She felt comfortable in his arms despite the situation at hand. Next thing she knew he took her over to a giant sea creature and they got on it's back, riding it away from the yacht. The creature was a little terrifying, but after all the other things he had done it was hard to be surprised more. Her curiosity towards him only grew, she wanted to know more of what he was and what he did. She had no place to go, so learning about the populace of the world outside her home was a good place to start gaining information to prepare her for her life on her own. There's that word, alone. Aiya was never good at being alone, she always had someone to protect her and watch her back. Now she had no one, and she felt lost. She was let go by the man whose name she still didn't know and she sat down on the giant creature. "Th-thank you for helping me. That was a terrible place." she said to him, having trouble speaking straight after all that happened. "Uhm... My name is Aiya. Marcus took all my family's money and enslaved me and thats how I ended up there... It was really bad, but thanks to you I'm..." she stopped. Maybe she wasn't free, perhaps he was just shipping her off to whoever his boss was. Perhaps she was going from one slaver to another. Granted, he didn't really give off that kind of feeling, but it was hard to know. Besides he had shown know signs of wanting her to talk, and she didn't want to annoying him, some of the gangsters were really tempermental for weird reasons so she had to be quiet with them or she'd get slapped, he could be similar for all she knew.

Neo would lie back as Goa glided smoothly, put both his hands behind his head, the chain gone once more. The girl would start to speak for some reason. Not that he minded, but he kinda thought she was more of the silent type, guess not. In any case, it would be rude to ignore her, right? Once she broke off in her speech, he would let out a little "Mmm." sound, lets her know that he heard what she said, understood and agreed, but had nothing to really add to the conversation. After all, Neo had never met him, nor any of his men, the only interaction being killing him, sinking his ship and forgetting to loot the boat as per usual because I'm a fucking idiot. A cloud of smoke would drift from his mouth into the air, passing behind them as they continued forwards towards Epsilon, ash actually falling onto his cheek, though Neo showed no response to it. Even if it burned, the sensation wouldn't bring forth any really pain, regardless of the damage it may do. A screech could be heard from afar, bellowing through the air, with Goa replying with his deep, yet unusual sound. Neo would lift one arm in the air as if clutching at the skies as a Silver Rathelos descended from the clouds to join them in their flight.

Aiya heard his response just barely. It seemed he wasn't one to talk, which was fine. She generally wasn't either, but she felt indebted to him somehow. He hadn't taken any action to show that she was his prisoner, but she knew nothing of where they were going and they had already well passed the shore. The creature they were on let out a noise and conversed with another creature somewhere in the sky which then made its appearance near them. She was a bit uncomfortable with it but over time she grew used to it. It was actually kind of nice to be all the way up there, it was peaceful. Aiya looked over at the man who was reclining. Aiya sat there in silence for several minutes until next thing she knew she was nodding off. She tried her best to stay awake to the point of widening her eyes. After all that had happened though she just got hit by a wave of fatigue. Combined with the peacefulness of the sky and the relaxed nature of her traveling partner, it made her continue to nod off. Eventually she fell asleep while sitting up which caused her to lose balance and plop right onto Neo's chest. She sat upright quickly afterwards, now full awake, and back away from him skittishly.

Well, she at least seemed to be calming down, to top it off she was quiet too, made sleeping easy. His arm would drop by his side as he drifted off into the clouds or whatever. To be honest, No one even knows what Neo dreams about, not even Neo. Is he even capable of it anymore? Their last dream was long ago in the academy. Though he does spend large amounts of time sleeping now for some reason, most like the toll on the body since all his other selves never actually sleep, so Neo makes up for all of it during his time. Then suddenly, plomp. The girl would just drop on in, causing him to slowly open his eyes, though through the tinted glasses it couldn't be seen. Honestly, she was really light with such a small frame so it wasn't really a bother, at first it was more just curiosity as to what it actually was rather then what he should do about it. She would scoot away hastily. In order to reassure the little girl, he'd reach out and pat her head, before drifting off to sleep again.

Aiya cringed as she waited for him to yell at her for being such a stupid girl and falling on him in such a way. He didn't though, he pat her on the head and went back to sleep. Aiya just looked at him for a minute, unsure of who to do, she couldn't help but smile at the way he acted. She almost giggled at his behavior as well, but she held it in to avoid waking him. She looked over the edge of the creature they were on out of curiosity and immediately regret it. She moved around a bit, trying to occupy herself, but she quickly went back to nodding off. She curled up in a ball on the creature's back not far from Neo and closed her eyes. She was shivering though. There was one thing about sky travel that wasn't so nice, it was really cold. As she drifted off to sleep she found herself subconsciously looking for some source of heat. It didn't take her long to find some by resting her head in Neo's lap. Aiya's dreams? They were that of her family and her home, all the things she missed, but they didn't take long to change into dreams of the future. Wild dreams of what she would do with her life and what she could accomplish. Aiya's happiness in her dreams crossed over and made a smile on her face as she slept soundly nuzzled up against Neo.

Around an hour or so later they would be due to land, Neo awakening at the small change in Goa's flight pattern, sitting up only to find the little girl using his thigh is a pillow. He wouldn't sigh, he wasn't annoyed, but he wasn't exactly impressed either. It didn't come off as cute, it was just...there? As they neared closer to the ground, Neo would effortlessly, yet very gently lift her head as he removed himself, before picked her up in the same method as before, suddenly hopping off and doing a little run to slow down before coming to a fullstop. By this time it would only be natural for one to wake so, so he'd again put the girl down before looking around to get his bearings. Goa would fly off into the distance, most likely to the temporary camp Neo had in Evil where he just keeps all his beasts unprotected. Rath however would land out the front and wait for his return. Out front of what exactly? Well obviously the great palace dubbed "seal of the republic" to make it sound less...mono led. The girl, Aiya she said her name was, she was free to do as she wished. If she wanted to follow, he'd have no issues with that, but if she left, I doubt it would have a big impact either, so long as she didn't tell anyone like she promised. But Neo would begin to make his way inside to meet with Yvette, whom he hadn't seen for around a month now, during that time having a big physical and mental change for no particular reason besides a strong development to his personality condition as a direct result of their strength growing.

Aiya slept peacefully for the remainder of the ride and upon being picked up by Neo she slowly woke up. Once she realized what was going on he set her down and she stood up and looked around. She had no memory of falling asleep on Neo so she wasn't embarrassed by that. As for being carried by him it didn't phase her either, she used to get carried around a lot, it was a nice feeling, as if she was completely protected. The big creature flied away and she waved at it as a thank you for the transportation. The man whose name was still a mystery to Aiya began walking off. It seemed she was more or less free to go but... she didn't really know what to do. She sheepishly trotted along behind him towards the palace. It seemed this was the capital of Epsilon? She didn't know much about Epsilon but the large palace seemed to make it rather likely that this was the spot. So where was Neo going? Perhaps to report to his higher ups of his success, or maybe he was one of the higher ups himself and lived in the palace? She wasn't sure, he didn't really seem like the type to want to live in a place like that, or the kind of person to lead an organization as big as Epsilon, or an organization in general really. The mystery surrounding him only grew bigger and her amount of questions grew while all of them remained more or less unanswered. She still didn't even know his name, but he didn't seem to want to talk much, which made getting any questions answered near impossible, she had to figure out what was going on through observation and logical thinking. This of course meant following him was the best bet for the time being.

For a few steps, all was good as they were on their way to see the daiymo or whatever she was to this land. But that plan would shift suddenly as Neo stopped his walk, seeing the way in which guards were posted as the order and structure was generally dependent on whether Yvette was home or not. This time was the latter, where ever she was, i'm sure it proved no real benefit to him. He'd stop to sigh for a moment, before realizing that someone in his own self was currently missing...a smoke. Considering the fact that he didn't even inhale just weeks before, I'd say this was a great exponential increase. However, in saying that, it wasn't really a poor judgement considering with his curse, it does no real damage to his half robot body, just something to do really. With that mishap corrected, Neo would turn around to leave, his eyes meeting the girls own for a moment as they faced each other briefly before he'd walk past. He did kinda like her around, she was cute and fun, but thinking back, he's been pretty cold thus far. Hope he wasn't being scary or anything like that.

With a wave of his hand, the beast which was waiting for him would fly away as he made his way down to the common streets of the city. "Aiya. Do you have anywhere to go?" His voice was different from what she would have heard on the boat, but back then he was both trying to be intimidating and in his curse form. Now however, it was just tired, uninterested. Not just tone either, it was now less demonic, but still deep and dangerous. Just throwing out random words to describe nothing, but thats how this works. As he walked, somebody would brush past, placing a back in his hands with no explanation. Curious he's have a look to see what was inside. Two items, one count of a very pure and decent weight of holy platinum. Leaving it in the bag he'd pass it to Aiya, they were hers now, if she wanted to leave they could be pawned for more then most people see in a year. The other item was of course...>Insert your roll mineral here<

Aiya was following him around, but she was more interested in the area than him at the moment. It was a really beautiful place, even more extravagant than her house. Err... her old house. Which surprised her because honestly there wasn't really any other houses around her father's that came close. Or rather Marcus' house. Wait no he was dead now, so who's house was it? Oh well. Aiya was so caught up in her surroundings that she didn't even notice Neo turn around, but when she did she looked and crossed eyes with him. His gaze was fascinating somehow, but at the same time very intimidating, which caused her to avert her eyes quickly. As he walked past her she would slowly turn around and go to follow behind him but then he stopped and spoke for the first time in a while. It caught her off guard a bit, as his voice had completely changed from last time.

"Aiya. Do you have anywhere to go?"these words rang in her ears for a while. She had to think about it. Did she? Her family was starving in the streets or already dead, and traveling back to her home would take much longer than they can survive. Any of her possessions aside from what she had on her were already pawned off by Marcus' lackeys more than likely, so the chances of recovering any of her wealth was next to none. It was true, she had no where to go, it was a little sad honestly but perhaps it was time to grow up a bit and not be babied constantly by her family. "N-no... not really." she said with her eyes downcast. The images of her parent's faces were already starting to fade from her memory. Her thoughts were interrupted thankfully as Neo produced a bag out of no where and handed it to her. Inside there was a really pretty metal and packet of some sort of black liquid. What was she to do with this? She thought back to her dad's stories of climbing the ladder of the economy. He started out with gems and metals and worked his way up to bigger things, much much bigger things. Perhaps she would do the same, follow the same path as him, just preferably not one that ends up losing everything you own to a crime lord.
