The Need for Roots

[Iris Faust]

"Youki..." hearing the works that he said she was left somewhat stunned.
'Numb his pain?' she wanted to ask him about that but decided it was best not to.
"But with Red Infinity it just seems as if they are a bit harsh on people."

[Fascia]

I wake up to hearing a crash in the other room. Kakashi is sleeping, and I can see Illidan through the bars of his crib. It sounded like a window breaking.

I shake Kakashi until he wakes up, whispering...

"Kakashi! Kakashi, I think there is someone in the house. Do you have any weapons in here? Kakashi, where'd you put all the weapons?"

[Hatake Kakashi]

Kakashi's eyes open and his hand snaps out, over Fascia's mouth. "Shhh," he whispers. He lets her go and slides out of the bed onto the floor, crouched low. He reaches under the bed and his hand come back with a kuni, which he hands to Fascia.

"Be careful. Watch Illidan." He makes a strange gesture with his hand, and disappears in a puff of smoke.

[Virgil- The Prophet]

Virgil smiles as the shutter clicks again. Noe had had him out here forever, trying to get a catologe of Infinity workers and operatives as they came and went. Who the girl was, he had no idea, but the other guy looked like he was somebody. And they'd both come out of the Ministry area. Virgil raises the camera again and regrets he can't get close enough to hear what their saying.

[Usha]

"Oh Brady, that girl was Obsidion Butterfly, I just wanted to help her out since she is new to the rebels."

I eat some more picnic food and lay back down in the sun. I am wearing a cute lavendar swimsuit.

[Moira]

"I hope they don't mind that I ate the hell out of their olive supply. Ah, they shouldn't. I'm good old Moira. They don't care what I do. I should listen to some music really loud."

I walk over to their stereo and music selection to see what they have. A lot of it is crappy, so I bet that must be Kakashi's music.

"Ah cool, Iron Maiden..Number of the Beast...let's see if there's anything good on this album..."

I play it as loud as Fascia's stereo will go.

[Archetype 401]

Archetype 401’s metallic orbs drop to the ground, rolling about uselessly.

Once again, he launches a missile, this time adding the firepower of his MGA. Thousands of bullets fly towards Peter as Archetype fires off a barrage of lead and steel. The first fired missile is quickly followed by a second rocket which follows after quickly.

Seeing the blue glow in Peters hand, Archetype 401 begins to back pedal once more, keeping a constant hail of bullets spraying towards Peter. Behind the Android is a bright flash of blue-purple light and what looks like a gouge of electricity appears in the ground.

At the same moment t hat the electronic gateway opens, Archetype uses the mainframe computer to broadcast a message to the Red Infinity HQ as well as the Ministry of Terror.

Although he has already placed a tracer upon Peter, he needs backup, or he will be forced to flee. Sending this message instantly, he waits for Peter's next move, still firing his five-barrled MGA, along with a third missile.

[Fascia]

I silently lift Illidan out of his crib after Kakashi leaves. The boy stays silent and sleeping. I hold him against my chest, the weapon in the other hand. If anyone comes in here, they will sure wish they hadn't.

[Moira]

"This music is so good I think I'm going to sing along really loud....

.........The night was black was no use holding back
Cos I just had to see was someone watching me
In the mist dark figures move and twist
was all this for real or some kind of hell
666 the Number of the Beast
Hell and fire was spawned to be released

Torches blazed and sacred chants were praised
as they start to cry hands held to the sky
In the night the fires burning bright
the ritual has begun Satan's work is done
666 the Number of the Beast
Sacrifice is going on tonight....."

"This Iron Maiden stuff is genius!"

[Fascia]

Suddenly a racket starts coming from the livingroom. I hear Iron Maiden being played loudly, and even louder is an off-key voice singing along... that doesn't sound like Kakashi... and why would he be singing anyway?

Is our home being attacked by a killer Karaoke machine?

I open the door to the bedroom and peek quickly around the corner. The music is loud and wakes Illidan. He fusses a little. Who is out there?

[Moira]

"Hey Fascia, there you are, I bought you a gift. Here, I hope you like it."

I turn down the music and hand her the paper bag with the breadmachine inside.

"Since you are all domestic and stuff I got you a breadmachine."

[Fascia]

I see that it is only Moira. I set the weapon on the counter and grab the bag from her.

"Eh... thanks."

Am I really that domestic? I mean, really? I have a kid, but I still don't cook or anything. Sheesh.

"I wonder where Kakashi went off to," I wonder out loud. He turned into smoke... I suppose he's around here somewhere.

I see an empty jar on the coffee table that used to house my olives.

"What the crap, Moira! You ate all my olives?"

[Freak Boy]

Freak Boy looks back on how he got these wounds. Shot in the gut by Ahriman after he had been assaulted by the Machine God Zwei, then Ahriman shot bullets through each palm... Freak Boy would have died had his ghost/Astro form not instructed Erika and the others to take him to Helsinki.

He then returned to reality...

"Death is, suprisingly, not all it's cracked up to be." Freak Boy said as the bandages were removed, revealing quarter sized holes in each palm.

[Moira]

"I was just hungry and didn't think you would mind. I can drop by with another jar someting, kay?"

[Fascia]

"Ah, I guess it's okay. I was just thinking about olives, and now there aren't any olives left at all."
