Revolution and Rehabilitation

[Mikomi]

[shadow=red,left,300]"Idiot child, that will teach you not to meddle." I try not to hurt children, it makes me look bad. But he attacked me first. He will survive. I can not say the same for Kuro.
I turn to her. I draw my swrod and plunge it into her chest. I remove it, and it is clean and bloodless. Strange..but not impossible. I find some wood and place it around her. I will burn her body and be done with this.

[Lemminkainen]

I see Zex and Hope laying on the ground. This is not cool. I hope they live. I pull out my wind sword of Ilmatar. This guy is going down. No one hurts my friends. "Listen dude, you are going to like pay for that. No one hurts my little buddy Zex...or Hope without having to fight me!" I use my sword to call a huricane. Yeah, lets he how he likes that!

[Mikomi]

[shadow=red,left,300]"Kuro's allies are like nasty insects. Stay out of my business or you will suffer!"
The wind blows me back. I wait for it to cease. I get up.
I hit the warrior with a psionic blast. He screams in agony as I attack his mind. "You will suffer for befriending the demon Kuro. I wil slay all of you for the darkness that you abbet!"

[Lemminkainen]

Blood leaks from my nose and mouth. he is too powerful, but he is yelling something at me. Its like about Kuro, that demon I fought and like totally couldn't defeat. man, that sucked.

"K..kuro...I fought the demon kuro...thousands of years ago...whe when he first came to Earth....that is how I died....he k.k...killed me.....bwakk."

I pass out, but thats okay, cuz I deam that I am back in Cancun Mexico on spring break...whoo hooo..that was a fun time.

[Mikomi]

[shadow=red,left,300]He fought Kuro. Interesting. I can see why he lost. He is weak and stupid. Hope may not be Kuro afterall. There is only one way to know. I will take her to a priest or priestess. They will tell me for certain in she is the host of Kuro.
I pick her up and walk away, leaving the other two where they lay.

[Hope98]

When I go to sleep, I never dream, but sometimes I reprocess my memories. I do that now. I am not aware that Lemminkainen or Zex fought Mikomi, or even that I am being carried away by Mikomi. Rather, I think about my past.
In my mind, I see my father. A good kind man, who was always there for me. I remember the day that Kith killed him. That was the catalyst for this adventure. That is how it all began for me. I wish I could go back to those happier times. I wish I did not have to be a revolutionary. But that is my purpose in this world.
When there is something so bad as Red Infinity, people do have to stand up to it. But so many are afraid to.
I must be strong for them.

[Genki]

i run through the forest, which is a charred corpse of what it once was. i see Zex andLemminkainen laying there. they are injurred! I turn intoa bear and put them on my back. I run them back to the cottage. Zex looks worse off than lemmy.i put them both to bed, covering them in blankets.I feel like crying! Where is Hope? on no! this is horrible!i look at Lemminkainen, my close friend. He is all bloody and bruised. His long hair, which he normally keeps in a loose braid, is all messed up. i take a cool rag and wash the blood off of his face. He starts to come to.

[Lemminkainen]

I open my eyes.
"hope..is gone...i saw some guy pick her up and take her with him...the dudes name is Mikomi...and he is pretty tough....."

[Genki]

"you just rest now, Lemmy. We'll go after Hope when you and Zex feel up to it." Lemmy closes his eyes again. I walk out of the room and close the door. I don't want to fight this guy. But if he has Hope, what choice to we have?

[Nadezhda]

Hmm...very interesting. So they fought Mikomi. Mikomi is Lady Violet's fiance, though she hasn't been very loyal to him from the rumors I hear. She must have a thing for bad guys...but whatever. I look over at Genki, who looks very distressed.
"Everything will be just fine Genki. Trust me, your friends will heal and Hope will be fine..."

[Genki]

"Thanks Nadezhda, you are a really great help. I feel better now."

[Kaieka]

We are back in Switzerland, and Bassarov has been doing better. I think that all of the drugs are out of his system, which is a good thing. He has been resting and getting back to his normal cheery self. I kind of wonder about our sexual experience together... if he was on drugs then... perhaps it would have gone otherwise if he was fully in control of his mind.

I am sad that I had to quit training with Marti. After all of the work that I put in, I really wanted to follow through. I decide to write to Marti and ask if I can continue to train with him via. correspondence. I also am looking for a new branch of SAA in the area. I felt so helpless against my sexual urges that night with Bassarov, which only shows me that I really do need help. I need to go through the whole program at least. I do not mention this to Bassarov... he is recovering anyway, I don't w ant to burden him.

[Valodya Bassarov]

Bassarov writes in his room, as he writes he flashes back 50 years to the revolution. This time, he is also writing. He is writing to his comrades, telling them when they will attack "Capitalist Corp" the corporate government that runs the American Empire. Shortly after the letter, 200 capitalists were massacred. Red Infinity had a very bloody beginning.
Bassarov pops a few pills and the flash back goes away.

[Kaschei]

Kaschei raises his staff.
"Life Acceleration!" with that, Kith begins to rapidly age. He becomes a weak old man.
Kaschei runs toward him and slaps him across the chest with his staff. Kith falls to the ground.
"Your time at Red Infinity is over...but by the looks of it, you could qualify for an early retirement!"

[Kith]

Kashei has turned me into an old man, but my healing powers are very advanced. I heal myself and run at him with my sword.
