Slowly the engines died down as the shuttle landed as its gattling cannons kept its weapons trained at the three . the landing ramp slowly opened as five figures rushed down the ramp in power armor and took up a formation. Their leader in an unique armor set, his head completly enclosed in his helmet. He made a few motions to his troops ad they moved forward quickly making a tight formation around the three. the comander walked up to them as the others pointed their weapon at the paranormals. Strang,ly though If amon would try to probe their thoughts oir feelings alkl he would get was a rough static, from the armors interferance "You three..are wanted for questioning....and are under arest for large scale terrorism....and the murder of 23 people by the order of the evergreen goverment and the republic of casinopolis if found guilty you will be moved to evergreen city for depowering...investiagion and encarsement."

Amon stepped forward in a peaceful manner. He was trying to delve into the minds of his confronters to better understand their point of view, but he quickly found his telepathy blocked by a specific radio wave emitted form the suits. He heaved a soft sigh and resorted to speaking.
"Officers, let me get this clear.. you received a call from the Casinopolis Police State.. no doubt this call was informing you of a gigantic mutanous spider attacking the civillians, and three unidentified Mobians attacking the spider. These three Mobians defeated the spider and saved countless other civillians from suffering unto its evil whims.. and you're arresting us.. if the Evergreen Taxpayers only knew the level of redundancy in their special forces.. logic should tell you here that we are not the villains.. that emmasciated spider over there disolving into a puddle of sludge is the culprit.. and it is no longer a threat to anyone."
He turned his back and began to walk away.
"So if you don't mind.. we'll be leaving now.."
He made his way towards Ci Ci, but he had a bad feeling in the pit of his subconcious..

(ooc- sorry, was away for a few days... silly me! back now. Stealth and Tayuu, will reply to the OOC bar tomorrow)
CC stands her ground, glaring at the intrusion and no fear upon her face, though in her eyes there is a bit of concern. She puts her hands upon her hips and looks over at the leader of the group, "We do not mean any harm and did not mean any destruction, we only did our best to keep more terrible things from happening and I am sure that you can understand that much." The feline seems to want to say more, but she holds her tongue, waiting for the response of the military unit. She knew from rumours, stories and even some past experience, that they were a force to be reckoned with and not always known for the kindness and conscience when dealing with what they classified as problems.
Her eyes quickly glance towards Amon and she sees him getting closer to her, smile smiles a half smile and moves her stance slightly so that she is closer to him, their shoulders almost touching. Her eyes go back to concentrate upon the main issue and her breathing steadies a bit more, though blood still pours from various wounds and every muscle in her body aches. She shows no weakness but also does her best to not show any negativity so that she is less likely to be seen as a threat.

Tayuu had been feeling great. He had just experienced his first battle against some huge, scary, previously fictional monster thing and on top of that.…..
When CC had spotted him after the battle, he instantly forgot about all of his injuries for a moment to smile and nod back. He decided he would go over, properly introduce himself, and be 100% sure that she was who he thought she was. That’s when he was interrupted again. Not in awe or due to some big spider this time, but by what looked to him as… “The fuzz!” gasped Tayuu as they came into view.
Tayuu was having the exact same dilemma as CC, although unmoving at the moment, his mind was pleading for his feet to start running. He thought of turning invisible as he’d be undetected by any sensor, but as it would require him to perform at least one hand sign, it might be mistook as an attack and the cat didn’t want to risk being a target for those gattling cannons.
These guys looked serious and very strong. While trying to come up with a plot, Amon spoke and defended their actions before CC also chipped in. Tayuu nodded in agreement towards the officer but didn’t dare say anything himself just in case. He did bite his lip however while glancing to CC, she looked more beat up than she was letting on. Tayuu wanted these armoured guys to let them go so they could all get to a hospital.

The leader of the group simply flicked off the saftey of his weapon and pointed it at the templer."I would watch your words. Casinopolis is just afraid of beings as dangeruous as you three s the spider in fact both goverments suspect that you templer have had a hand in summoning it with the amont of phsycotechnic energy in the area as of late. So my orders are clear. You three are to be taken in for arrest, questioning and obvius medical treatment."the fox growled as he motioned for a big burly tiger to reach down and grab at CC rather roughly as an overlander went for the other cat. Meanwhile thel eader aproached the psyhic hedgehog.'ANd I would watdch your arogant words hedgehog. My people just got through dealing with you evil pyshics.we sent your tails packing and Ill be damned if Im going to let you talk down to me or my men after what your kind did!"he growled as he leveled the weapon right at his forehead."hands on your head! NO!"he barked

The stair way to the offices of the most prominant force in everything that lived at one point or another were remarkably bland for a being of such all encompassing porportions. The life the vanguard and the pirate exited took them down a long blank hallway, the same dark stone used in the tower it's self making up the passageway that ended in a small alclove just large enough for the tall lass to walk through comfortably with out feeling like the world was closing in upon her head.
The same green torches used to light the grounds of Thanatos Tower glowed here as well in their smokless vigilance to push back the darkness. To anyone but long time deizens of the Land of the Dead the effect would be eeiry and foreboding indeed. The unnatural flame lighting the way but never fully illuminating their space.
And there, after twenty or so paces in that nook, which illuminated as they entered it was a simple wrought iron spiral staircase. It would seem the Harvester of Souls had less excentric tastes when it came to decorum in comparison with his two siblings. Akin to a fancier form of fire escape the two trod on up into the darkness in silence. Bordem and forboding being their causes for mute travel. No more torches lit their way as they ascended to the highest points of the Tower. Almost bumping his head, Paladin Twilight punched open the hatch that lead the roof of the pillar like living space. It had been millenia since he'd just walked to his Father's abode, having always had the court privilage of teleporting directly to the Office of Death Himself on whim and business.
The cool wind whipped ever so subtly high amongst the undeadite heavens. A panoramic view splayed about before the two adventurers. The marshes they had just come from, the frosty peaks, the village, the firey mountains, the rolling plains. All seemingly cut like pieces of a pie and as different as opposing sides of a coin. An artificial world crafted by Thanatos to hold souls until they could be processed towards their final judgement. The Mobian equivilant of Purgatory laid out like some mapmakers dream, simple but diverse. But the view was obscured by a small dome shaped building situated on the roof's peak.
Black marble, akin to the rest of the residence it had but one door and a glass ceiling. The green sun's reflective rays splaying about the apex of the office like a lime colored lens flare. The vanguard knew this place and it held no splendor for him, not now and certainly not after all he'd endured simply to speak with his estranged guardian figure. Long angry strides took him directly to the oaken portal the blocked him from Death's Inner Sanctum. Aurora had the Chaos Stream, Syntaru his Throne of Sorrows, Thanatos had his office. The final resting place, careful consentration, and last respite for a deity in need of privacy. Disregarding protocol the deathog hammered on the door with an ungloved fist. The lack of leather present to soften the pounding startled Twilight. Always he'd knocked with reverence and with his cursed hands clad in that protective wear.
Perhaps for the first time the changes that he'd undergone had finally started to fully make themselves known. The door slowly opened in spite his reservations, and a world weary cold seeped out form the dark adjar portal. A kind of frost that reminded one of the grave, that death indeed was a business that left the niceties fo the flesh far behind for loftier persuits of the soul. Shockingly, the door slammed all the way open and frost lined the door frame, a booming voice resounded from the dark hallway leading in but even it felt subdued. . .
"ENTER PALADIN TWILIGHT, WE HAVE MUCH TO DISCUSS I AM CERTAIN. . ."

CC winces as the burly tiger grabs ahold of her tightly and roughly and a low growl sounds in her throat, "There is NO reason for this sort of treatment!" She hisses, glaring from the grunt to the leader, "And I may like it rough, but not from your type so watch yourself." She flicks her angry green eyes towards the leader, slimming them down as certain words filter through her ears and intonations in the way things are said by the commander grabs her attention. She takes a minor step forward but is held back by the ferocious feline beside her and she stops, knowing that if she makes more moves then it could be seen as resisting arrest and that was the last thing to do at this point in time. Her voice is suspicious when she speaks next and she settles back into a more relaxes stance, "You say we are dangerous... but we are no more dangerous than yourself...Stealth Greyblade..." It was a wild guess and the feline hoped that she was correct. It was the bitterness within his voice and the way that he haid said certain things that made her think of one and only one mobian. For all she knew, she could be greatly mistaken, but her finely tuned senses and keen intuition made her a force to reckon with without the need for supernatural powers. He held himself the same way, was about the same height and perhaps just a bit more together than when she had last seen the fox. She could be wrong, but she was almost certain that it was indeed the same fox who had fought alongside the the freedom fighters for the Goddess Aurora against Syntaru... but if it was, then why was he being so harsh?
___
The shadowy feline Kitsa grinned toothily, sharp white fangs showing themselves for the briefest of moments... the energy signatures telling her that she was indeed one of the luckiest creatures around... here, right in front of her, without having to search, was yet another of those flithy beings who had done so much to destroy what her Lord and Lady had built up. There was little else to do and she had many others to research still, she would go on her way soon, but she would wait until this was resolved, not wanting to give away her position and also wanting to see what was to happen - tensions were high and this was just far too much fun to give up on.
____
"Well, perhaps this be where our journey together ends Paladin... at least fer this moment. There was no indication fer me to be joinin' you within 'is chambers and well..." the rather robust and racy lass smiles a bit sheepishly as she puts one finely gloevd hand behind her head and scratches nervously. She then moves her hand around to brush some stray strands of hair away from the front of her face, pushing them behind her ear. She grins and shrugs, "I hate ta be admittin' it, but, one does not just walk inta HIS room without having a good reason and unless ya need me ta be at yer back fer this meetin... well, perhaps it be best that I just wait fer ye?"
It is difficult for the pirate to get out what she means, the flurry of adventures that had spurred her on through the tower was wavering, especially with the knowledge of who was within those open doors. She was not afraid, there was little the pirate feared, but she was concerned and certainly did not wish to overstep any more boundaries than she already had managed to overstep. Besides, she knew a bit of protocol and such and while she mocked it and made fun of it, she still stood by it as much as possible - she knew where to pick her fights and this was certainly not one of the places to be her normally brash self... not unless she had the word from Twilight. For him, she would do anything.

Tayuu was exceptionally confused at the turn of events; Dangerous beings? Well… maybe. Templers? Evil psychics? Under arrest?!
As the overlander approached, Tayuu once again had to fight the urge to flee. In fact, if it wasn’t for the injured CC he would already be running away at full speed, but he couldn’t risk the chance of it being his fault she didn’t get the mentioned medical treatment. He imagined other things could go wrong too. If it was just Amon, he guessed the hedgehog would just blow them all up somehow while he himself ran away. For now he just had to have faith in his new friends and if that didn’t work, he’d have to use his own skills later to escape any imprisonment. Besides, there was nothing on any official records relating to Tayuu’s past crime as he had never been caught in the act, he felt rather safe.
“Hey, hey, watch the fur,” said Tayuu as he was also grabbed. Tayuu decided to stay quiet again after that, he simply began taking note of various things in case they could help him escape somehow later.
The catboy couldn’t hold his tongue however when CC guessed at the leader’s name. He didn’t recognized the name himself, but was still shocked; “Ehh? You know this guy?!”

Amon turned back around, facing his oppressor. The gun barrel aimed at his head. The stern hedgehog stood solidly. Eyes giving a cold blank stare. Then, a sly smirk drew across the hedgehog's muzzle. A soft chuckle followed.
"Of course.. it all makes ense now.. I should have recognized the EDF Delta Company logo.. it was on your bike the first time we met.. Mr. Greyblade. Tell me.. do your team members know that you too are like us.. that you have Kenetic abilities too? Probably not.. I'd imagine you'd get discharged, reprogrammed or even killed if they found out the real truth."
Amon reached out and grabbed the barrel of the weapon pointed at him. Using the natural static electricity in the air around them, Amon sent a quick electronic short through the weapon. Disabling it for only a short moment. But a short moment was more than long enough. Amon quickly teleported, grabbing Tayuu and Ci Ci, taking them out of harm's way back at Ci Ci's mid-town apartment. He then returned to the battleground to face Stealth, alone.
"There.. now that there are no distractions on my end of things, we can get down to business. I gather that your armor prtects your minds from being read, thus giving us somewhat of an even ground. But no amount of mental shielding can protect the physical body.."
Amon used his telekenesis to take the weapons out of the hands of the other EDF soldiers. Then propelled them upward into the sky, where they would crash miles outside the city. He then used another of his telekenetic abilities to levitate the other soldiers off of the ground, securing them and removing them from the equation. An audience to watch their leader expose his true self.
"There.. NOW.. the playing field is even entirely.. if you truly are loyal to the cause of policing and eradicating all Templaric threats, then fight me with honor.. throw away the foolish weapon you hide behind. I may not be able to predict your movements, but I can however detect when your little toy is about to fire.. so shooting me would be useless. Fight me as your true self, Stealth.. fight me as the Fox adonned with the abilities of light.. as the Goddess intended. Stop hiding from who you really are.. for if you do.. you're worse than the demon you and I faught against.."

It takes a moment for CC to realize that she is back in her own little kitchen once more, with Tayuu by her side, and another short moment for her to fully notice that Amon had teleported directly out again without a single word to her or the other feline. She stands there, blood dripping from various wounds and paws clenched at her side, shaking silently until suddenly she looks up, anger and pain flashing in her emerald eyes, "You son of a... worthless piece of psionic flesh and SAD EXCUSE OF A HUSBAND! How DARE you do this to me AGAIN! How DARE YOU?! In all the time that we have been together did you EVER think that I would want to leave your side in the middle of battle? And now... now you leave me here like this?!"
She reaches out for the nearest thing she can find, a glass that was left upon the ktichen table and picks it up, hurtling it a moment later at a nearby wall where it crashes and splits into a million shards. She growls in pure and utter frustration and anger, "What do you expect me to do?! Sit here and do nothing while you go one waging a war that you cannot win against people that you cannot fight by yourself?! You stupid, moronic, irresponsible, immature... you... MALE ... you!" The feline sways a bit and goes quiet, breathing heavily and looking down so that tayuu cannot see the emotion upon her face while she does her best to hold back sobs and tears.
Taking a few deep and shuddering breaths CC stands for a moment, completely and utterly silent and then looks up, her eyes glistening but no water escaping and she looks to Tayuu, "Come on, we had best leave. The Hunters are not going to take this lying down and we had best get out of town as quickly as possible before they think to come here." She manages to say, a lot more calmly and cooly than just mere seconds before, even managing to break half a smile. "And before you even say it, I'll be fine. I've had worse than this before and know how to bandage myself up pretty good, there are some places right outside of the city that we can hide and where we will be safe until things calm down a bit more..."
If Amon wants to play this game by his own terms then he can go ahead. He knows how to look after himself and... and will. Besides, he can find me easily enough after he is done making an arse out of himself and I can give him a piece of my mind then. That is, if he doesn't get himself killed...stupid hedgehog....

Tayuu had begun to reach out to CC after she had thrown the glass, knowing that she was emotional from the battle and very upset over Amon’s actions. He wasn’t even thinking, he just felt like he had to hug her, to comfort her. He stopped himself however before she even thought about looking up. Tayuu felt like he might have been intruding in some way or that he’d hurt her wounds. Besides, CC’s second outburst made him feel very bad for simply being male, he would have no doubt got slapped or pushed away.
The catboy himself was somewhat less angry about being taken out of a situation where he was surrounded by several members of the law, but was still disappointed that Amon felt it best to remove that cats from battle even if they were both battle weary.
Tayuu looked to his boots in embarrassment, she probably read his concern for her like a book; “Well then, let’s get to one of these safe houses then and get patched up.” As they walked out the door and down the street, he tried to make CC feel better; “I’m sorry… I think Amon got us out of there because of me. You’re a great fighter but I would have been in the way, if it was just you two I’m sure he wouldn’t have done that…”
Further down the road, it dawned on him – he was finally alone with CC. His eyes brighten and he stopped dead; “I’ve been wanting to ask. You’re ‘the’ CC aren’t you? One of the Casino Zone’s best arena fighters right?” Tayuu looked into CC’s eyes and clasped his paws together, not even pausing to give her a chance to answer, he was far too excited now; “I knew it! I am such a big fan of yours! I’ve watched several of your fights from the front row. You’re great! I’ve studied all your best moves and even own a few of the fight videos of you that started circulating. I always cheered for you and boo’ed anyone that got a hit in against you. I liked you even more after I found out certain jerks were trying to fix fights, oh wow, you sure showed them. You disappeared though. There were some bad rumours going around and I was worried, but I believed in you! When I saw you today I knew it was you. You look a little different and have some mad energy attacks or something now, but…”
The catboy finally stopped babbling and looked as if he was shaking nervously. He slowly reached into an inside pocket and quickly pulled out a small notebook; “Ca… Can I have your autograph please!” He was really wishing that he had that photo of CC in his room on him right now.

CC smiles and pats Tayuu on the shoulder, "Nah, I know for a fact that regardless of whether or not you were here, Amon would have done the same thing. He has done it in the past and if the dumbass lives through this and I actually get to see him again, then I am sure that he would do it again. He is overprotective and... and I think that he does it so he does not have to worry about me. Which really, says absolutely nothing good about the strength of trust within our relationship. But, I'd rather not ponder upon that at the moment so why don't we just continue on our way..."
But, before the feline has a chance to turn around Tayuu is off on another tangent and she stands in front of him with a look of shock upon her furred face and surprise in her eyes in regards to his absolute insane fanboyishness. He finishes and and actually seems to start breathing again, pad of paper and pen hovering in front of her nose and still she stays still, as if in total shock. Then, without warning, she bursts out laughing, tears rolling down her face as she goes towards Tayuu and envelops him in a great big hug, still giggling all the while. When she finally regains enough composure to pull herself away she is grinning, the cheefullness spreading even to her tired eyes, "It is a bit weird, but of course I will sign..." she winks, taking the pad of paper and the pen and scribbling her signature upon it in a way that was practiced and confident even though it was not something she had done in years.
"I don't know how you remember me... I mean... wow. And not really the best of time for such things but thank you, it means a lot to me, it really does..." from the tone of her voice it could be seen that she was truly grateful, not really for being recognized, but more for the break in all the serious and pained thoughts running through her head. She pats the act on the shoulder and gives him back his pad and paper, "You got everything you need to survive? We probably won't hit true civilization for a while and so you had best be prepared, but I don't want to stay around here any longer, let's get moving!"

Not only an autograph, but also a hug? Tayuu hadn’t had a decent hug for so long, he was surprised but felt very happy and couldn’t stop smiling. He was glad the serious mood was lightened a little, he was glad it all didn’t backfire and end up freaking her out instead, and most of all, he was glad he made a new friend.
‘Remember you? I’d never forget you… you helped me so much without knowing…’ the catboy thought to himself.
Putting the pen and pad carefully back into one of his pockets Tayuu nodded in agreement; “I left my backpack at my flat, but I didn’t have much to bring anyway. I have enough of my kunai back now but only one apple in terms of food. I’m sure I’ll survive though, I’ve lived on less. Hopefully we can find some water and such when we get to this safe house of yours. I don’t wanna risk bumping into those law guys again either.”
With that, both felines began their exit from the Casino Zone, Tayuu explained that he hadn’t been out of the city all that often and that he’d have to let CC lead the way. Their power-walking soon turned into a light jog in the need to leave quickly but they never broke into a run for various reasons.
Both were quiet again and so Tayuu decided to get a conversation going; “Hey, CC. I was pretty shocked when I heard you were married to the prof… er, I mean Amon. How did that come about?” He was genuinely curious but also felt it maybe a positive thing to talk about. He didn’t want to go into requesting details about large killer spiders and strange energy powers right now.
He looked back as they neared the edge of the city and he suddenly felt that he was going to embark on a long journey. Maybe one day, if they ever did return, he could ask CC to sign that photo back home… ….. ….. maybe he could get her to sign two and sell the other one for big money.
