The Calm Before the Storm

[Stealth Greyblade]

Stealth Just hissed at the blatant overuse and ungodly arognat display of power but coulnt help but smirk as he saw his troops get into action. the hunters sligning lines pulling themselves free of the hedgehogs mental grip and landing on the ground in a crouch as the transport was allready in the iar with its attached hoverbikes deployed to fetch the poor cansiopolis PD officers that the hedgehog flung away so heartlessly. Stealth just shook his head and went into his helm com and put out an APB for a Ci Ci Tomicat. Already the scren went alive as evergreen and casnopolis databases uploading residence...medical and DNA files and even uploading her bioenergy signatures and let the EDF hunters tracker satalites start hunting for the dangerus paracriminals. Since becuase of the obvius resisitng arest..they were now all the prime suspects. Then without further ado he let the screen drop into his visor the last bit of info he got was two EDF ships going to back up the CPD officers racing to intecept the fleeing catgirl as she was tracked by satalite.

His eyes blazed with fury as he holstered his weapon and spread out his hands servos in his gauntlets whizzing as the armor began to compisate for the imense energy starting to form. "YOu Egotisitvcle fool...making things worse than they are becuase YOU think you know better than anyone else. You dont know crap you blatant overpowered FOOL. To attack my troops yes..but those people you slung were not my troops You slung away THE CPD. Now you got police slaughter to your racket. Now..Im gonna definatly have to bring you in...and since your wanting to make this hostil then..."the fox said as a crackling energy ball seemed to form in one hand whiole the other became wreathed in shadow energy. Then with a snarl he squeezed the light ball and in a brillant flash...a blade of gleaming light energy was griped in his hand. While his men only cheered as they yanked themselves down with grap cables from their belts.

Stealth just stood their, one paw wreathed in tendrils of shadow energy..the other blazign blade of light."And for your information..IM one of the good paranormals....My powers helped saved my city agisnt templer villians such as yourself...now fallen warrior of the goddess...enguard."He said as he rushed forward with a snarl outstreaching his shadow hand as tentacles of sahdow energy raced out clinging to the hedgehogs limbs to tie him as he got in close to brign his blade to bear.

Meanwhile at the edge of the city as the two rteached the edge of the city sudenly searchlights hidden in the brush blazed on and hit the two as armed CPD officers seemed to rush over the bluff as their weapons clicked off safe,pointed at the two as squad cars rushed in to block the road from in front and behind their ocupants swarimg out to point their weapons at the two as two evergreen hunter team dropships...newly arived reincforcemtns Hunter team Pi and hunter team sigma Droped from their ships and arpaoched the pair as their transports took into the air to provide survelcne and air cover.. "YOU TWO HANDS IN THE AIR. CICI TOMICAT YOU AND YOUR FELINE PARTNER ARE UNDER ARREST AND LABVELED AS HOSTILE. HANDS IN THE AIR AND COME WITH US QUIETLY! ANY USE OF POWERS ON OUR SENSOORS WILL BRING IMDIEATE USE OF REALTIATON. nOW PLEASE SUBMIT!"

(ooc-changed my post slightly! )

Although she was still upset with what Amon had done, teleporting her away from the fight and keeping her in the dark as to his plans, she had enjoyed the batnering and talking with Tayuu. Already, the young feline was proving himself to be a fun and happy companion, something she had not really realized that she had missed, and something within herself that had disappeared or at least had been squashed down somewhere along the current path of her life.

About to try and keep up with his chatter with a witty reply, she instead curses as the spotlight shines down upon the two of them and the voice calls out for her to put her hands up. She pauses, her mind flickering through a million different possibilities, but all ending in ways that she did not wish for them to end. The cat knew that this was all a big mistake and realization hit that it was not probably made worse by the fact that she had been taken away by Amon, thus resisting arrest. It was not a good spot to be in and it took her only a minute to realize what needed to be done.

She was not going to hurt anyone on purpose, that was not her way.

"Tayuu, do as the man says," She whispers as she puts her paws above her head, "I am sorry, you can try and get out of here using your powers if you need to... but I will not fight them. If I knew that I could get away without hurting anyone, I would, but they obviously know how to find me... else there is no way they should have been able to find us away from my place and heading in this direction, they must be tracking me somehow. But... you could probably run if you used your powers. Or, you can stick with me and I promise that if you do that, I -will- keep you safe and get you out of this, on my honour. If I am right and that was Stealth back there... well, I will be able to work something out."

She smiles her quirky half-smile at the other cat and winks at him and then looks towards the Hunters who were slowly approaching, "I'm not going to cause any harm and I will come along easily, this is all a big misunderstanding and I merely hope to get this all sorted out..." with that said she stands calmly, her paws still above her head and her eyes keeping straight ahead, not even flicking to Tayuu in case he did want to split and the Hunters guessed at it.

Kitsa was getting tired of being patient, even though she had her orders, and things were getting a bit to chaotic for her liking. while she was well hidden within the shadows and not able to be found by any means, if she was not careful and let loose the tiniest bit of power, she was sure that she would be found. And so, she stayed still. Her feline ears prick forward as she studies the fox and the realization of who he is hits her fully.

Her Ladyship is going to love this... Stealth... the one with dark and light. The Queen was right, he does lookd tasty with all of that darkness swirly inside of him, ready to break free. And he is fighting against those who were once his comrades! Well, would have if the hegehog did not teleport the cat away, how frustrating.

[Tayuu]

The temptation of escape once again entered Tayuu’s mind. He really wasn’t used to this, he was rarely ever even seen, let alone caught. There was also the fact that Tayuu wasn’t on any police records of any kind so even though they could track CC, he’d be able to easily get away, that was the speciality of his technique; no trace.
If he was on his own he could easily risk using his invisibility technique to escape, but now he had someone he could call a partner, one he felt a link with and trusted. One who would no doubt suffer if he tried anything… these guys did seem somewhat trigger-happy.

CC’s words echoed in Tayuu’s head; ‘I -will- keep you safe and get you out of this…’ no one had ever said anything remotely like that to him before. He felt like he was burden to her, but he also knew he’d do his best to repay any debt.

Tayuu grinned with a look of confidence, and spoke out loud enough just for her to hear; “I wouldn’t be much of a man if I left you alone in this situation now would I?”
If he was honest with himself, this was totally over his head. In the past he had committed some crimes that attracted some high attention. Police, SWAT teams, private security teams… all had been avoided, but now…
He looked to CC as she spoke to the hunters and looked dead ahead.
Raising his own paws in the air he nervously joked; “If this is about those parking tickets…”
He too wasn’t going to resist.

[Shae the Bat]

[ooc: Shae is getting tired of how dragged out (And nomadic) this EDF vs Psy, CiCi and Tayuu thing is getting. Ergo, I am officially, for the first time ever, pulling the "I am the administrative God" card.. and finishing this ..myself. Sorry for the no prior warning but this is ridiculously overdrawn. I'll do my best to make all parties involved satisfied enough that we can move on to the next storyline. Again, sorry it had to come to this.]

Soldiers freed, guns drawn Amon was in quite a tight spot. His initial hopes that Stealth would shed his personal dillusions and accept his true self seemed to have been misplaced. His overexertion of arrogance to force Stealth into acceptance had also backfired. It was time for a little back peddling, a retreat fitting of a Templar. He heaved a sigh.

"Very well.. continue to lie to yourself Stealth.. may Aurora forgive you for your denying her gifts."

After the words left his lips, he made a brilliant flash of light from the sun's rays, blinding their visors long enough for him to teleport away. Across town, two of the EDF Hunters that had barged into Ci Ci's apartment lowered their weapons to cuff the two felines. As they moved forward, there was a loud thunderous boom outside. Blacker than black storm clouds began to roll in, seemingly staying only above the apartment complex they were all in.

"What in the he-"

Said one of the Hunters, cut off in mid-speech by a fist. A familliar fist, underneath a blue glove with a golden ring on the cuff. A voice called out.

"I do sincerely apologize for my actions, and do intend to explain them all as well.. but at this moment in time, I think it best the three of us vacate this place immediately.."

The other two felines nodded and instead of peacively submitting as they initially seemed to be doing, each leapt in the air delivering a swift kick to the helmet of the EDF Hunters attempting to cuff them. The three made a daring dash out the nearby window darting through alleyways and side-streets until they reached the outskirts of the city. They rested for a brief moment.. but it wouldn't be long befor ethe EDF Corps caught up with them. The only way they could manage to avoid the complex tracking devices and satellite network would be if they hid out in an area riddled with electrical distortion.

Fortuneately, such a place existed on Mobius. But it was very unfriendly territory. The former site of Robotropolis, now home to Syntaru's former general; Legion. The island had gone under some large scale redecorating since the wolf took over. All the Eggman Empire logos and banners had been torn down and replaced with that of Legion's Syndicate. His troops marched through the city, guarding, surveying, biding their time until they can make moves to conquer other areas. Despite all this, the three knew that it would be the only place "safe" enough until either Stealth reawakened to his true self, or the EDF Heads of Operation redeployed the Delta Squad on another assignment.

And one such assignment was definately on the horizon. High in space aboard his flying fortress Eggman looks out amidst a gathering of SwatBots, ShadowBots and EggPawns. Like the great generals of yore, Eggman delivered his prolific orders to seize his territory back and once again rule the underworld of Mobius with an iron fist.

"My dear creations, you shall go forth to serve your master on a level which has not been seen before. You are strong, you are unified, you are relentless.. and you will not be alone in your mission. In mere moments, the Four Horsemen, my life's work, shall be fully awakened.. and with the help of the newly evolved Apophis, Lucian and his Undeadites.. we cannot be STOPPED! ONWARD TO MOBIUS! FOR THE REVIVAL OF THE EGGMAN EMPIRE!"
