The Importance of Hope

["Zero" Americanski]

It comes out almost in a blur I am so glad to have finally have gotten it out. "His name was Xavier something that I don't remember. He's a French revolutionary and he looks a lot like you... And you were ignoring me! Dammit Valodya, you know I don't sleep around like you do and we haven't had sex for almost two months! And I know you cheated on me with that Red Infinity pregnant dog. Why? I WAS RIGHT HERE!!!" Now I am quite agitated, and almost purple in the face. "You could have had me, or Misha, or both of us, but you chose that f**king pregnant dog! Why dammit?!" I close my eyes and inhale deeply, wishing it was smoke instead of just air. But it still calms me. When I feel more civil I say "I guess I thought he could take your place... I know I would have slept with him, but I realized that it was wrong somehow... I hope you can forgive me..."

I sense another movement by Oak and quickly lock on to both of the targets and launch several lasers, sixteen in all, eight at each target.

[Valodya Bassarov]

"I'm going to tell you something. I am not a good person and although sometimes I like to pretend to be, I am not. I hurt people. I hurt people often. I am glad that you went off for a while. I don't care if you kissed someone. I am not a very good person. You need someone better than me." Bassarov says cooly. His words carry little emotion and his expression is plain.
"I am not loyal and I get bored easily. I care about people as a whole of society, but when I can not translate this into my personal life."

[Mistress Teresa]

I look at Virgil turning around, hair covering half of my face. "Still he is my best operative. But no matter." I said smiling as i walked my Vigil. A lock of my hair raised and positioned his chin so it faced me. "Ever since Lenna left, things must get more on task. You have to start defeating Red Infinity. The only way to do that is to make every other obstacle out of our way." I said

[Kaitalish]

Edea, what are you doing? Why are our operatives attacking the anarchists?

[Valkoinen Joki]

I growl as i struggle against the bonds again, the lava dispelled any ice that i created but tat was fine, i just needed to freeze the air around me, i concentrated and my body began to turn alittle blue as the bonds started to freeze. only a few more seconds, and only a few more pulls. ".... I really hate cheaters....".

[Sargent Oak]

I put up my mind shield blocking most lasers. I then jumped and shot at the others making mini explosions. I then started to try to make Vhaan mad. "Brain Damage!" I yelled as i start to make Vahaan try to feel mental anguish so he oculdn't control his mech right.

["Zero" Americanski]

"What does someone else mean to me? I love you. I just felt deprived. I know I'm being stupid, selfish and lustful..." I look down, but then turn and look him in the eyes. "I guess that's just what I get for falling for you... Tell me, is there anything I could do to make myself more interesting to you?"

[Oogie Boogie]

"And I hate losers!" I said laughing as Voki was about get burned to a a crisp. I pulled the lever a few more times before the he plunged into the lava. One more pull ought to due it. "Any last words?" I asked chuckling.

[Valodya Bassarov]

Bassarov sits down and thinks for a minute. He is aware of the fact that he is a complete jerk and that this poor woman has fallen for him and there is nothing he can do for her.
"Zero, I care about you. I think you do a great job for the rebels. I think you are a hardworking, dedicated, intelligent, loyal, outstanding person. I want you to know that I do think you are wonderful and am very appreciative of you and your efforts."

He looks up at her and now his expression carries some compassion.
"My feelings for you have gone cold and stale. I distanced myself because I didn't want to hurt Mischa any more than I have. In the process of doing this, I have put some wall up between us. I don't...feel the same."

[Edea]

"I am trying to train them for our future fight with the Green Party and Red Infinity. if that is ok to you father. What will be our next target?" I asked him.

I stopped the ceremoney as I replied to my father.
*Maybe this will have to wait.* I thought

[Virgil- The Prophet]

"Your operative?" Virgil tilts his head, "He's a rival al'Lan, not your servent. You compete with him, not order him around."

Virgil licks his lips, "Defeating Red Infinity? That doesn't make sense, Mistress. How do I 'defeat' something that covers the whole of the world?"

["Zero" Americanski]

"Oh. I understand." I say, meaning it. I had heard that once two people had been together for so long that they lost interest in each other... I just hadn't realized that it could take so little time for him. "But the truth is I don't care... I still love you. Remember to me you are more than just a lover... You practically gave me this life, without you I'd have eitehr committed seppuku or reunited with that not a very nice person Kolov when he joined Red Infinity, and eventually I'd have killed you. I hate the thought of that. I know you're not perfect..." My eyes are tear-filled and my voice weak, but I try to remain strong.

[Valkoinen Joki]

i girn alittle. "just a few"... i snap the bonds and seem to disappear from the spot i was in, i appear behind him a few yards and concentrate sending one of the tables towards him with telekinesis. ".... Red infinity will rue the day they messed with a dragon...."

[Vhaan Diel]

As the wave hits me I scream out in pain. Ran quickly takes over, switching to auto-pilot and unleashing several more lasers at Oak while I get a hold of myself.
