Saving (Private) Lune (Mission Thread)

The android watched Lewis fall to his knees, they had defeated him. Excellent, excellent work indeed. However, Lewis promptly told them that they did not need to fight and Lune was not going to be harmed like they had done. True....they didn't need to fight, and it was very unclear as to whether or not Lune would have been harmed by going through with Lewis' exchange. The issue was whether or not the criminal's solution was better. Yes, they had taken a chance, and Lewis was unconscious, but Naomi had gotten her out of this world. Hopefully by now paramedics were attending to her, and ensuring she was okay. They had equipment, and the skills to treat someone who was knocked unconscious and fell underwater. It wasn't unheard of people surviving such incidents, Lune may just be awful weak for a couple days at best. Unconscious at the worst, in fact he recalled a story where a nine year old kid was knocked unconscious and saved from drowning. It made the news a few years ago...

The android eventually stopped drifting off as he noticed the purple smoke approached Lewis. The android would have shivered he had the proper body reactions. "This thing...that Lewis made a deal with..I think it's been here the whole time." The android muttered softly he had felt it in the air, and in the water. Whatever deal Lewis made it was not likely to something that they could deal with easily, and the android reached into his pocket and grabbed a traseto gem. He moved the supernatural gem to his palm and gently closed his fist around, not enough to trigger it, but enough that he could feel its textures.

"I see it, it's alright though....we have a way out." He said in a low voice so his companions could hear him. What they needed to see was who Rhodes was involved with that was a critical bit of intel, but judging from the mist Rhodes would have to speak up very quickly about whether or not he wanted to meet his dealer. Rhodes may not be willing to cooperate with them in his current predicament, but if there were to save his life then they could have uses for him. The android readied himself to crush the gem at a moment's notice should the group face grave danger or if Lewis is faced with grave danger. That is assuming that the man was smart enough to accept their offer, and that this mysterious force did not kill him before he did.

Sentinel was surprised when a figure appeared out of the purple mist, his visual targeting system had not detected that person, it was almost as though the individual simply appeared out of thin air. That wasn't possible...right? That defied all sorts of laws of science....then again so did alternate dimensions, the android had to adjust to the fact that what just occurred is possible with these powers. So this was Lewis' superior? The android was honestly a little disappointed, he had not expected something so...human... The android's curious mind was wondering what was underneath that hood. However, something interesting rang out, Lewis got it wrong and his target might have not been female. Then who else could it be? Dally boy? Dally something? There had to be some fact of evidence that Lewis got right at the very least, but the question is what? Or perhaps Lewis was that much of a screw up?

The train of thought was interrupted when Lewis began to turn different shades of colors, and Sharaku was calmly trying to figure out what was going, but Kurasawa was taking a more panicked approach and begged the figure to give him a chance to get Lewis' last words. The android noted Kurasawa's plea for help. The android stepped forward placing a hand on the emotional boy's shoulder, and looking up toward the hooded man trying to peer into the darkness and catch a glimpse of the face that was hidden behind the hood. "Truly, there is no harm in allowing Lewis to pass on a few loving words to the only family he might have left. And I see no way that closure to a family member could harm your cause, whatever that may be. Come now, be kind, and allow Lewis a small chance to redeem himself from his criminal actions and failures in your service."

Of course, the android held his traseto gem at the ready in case anything went horribly wrong. However, it seemed as though their healer had a plan, and if it was what he the android thought it was then it might just be crazy enough to work. However, he set Orgia mode on standby and was ready to enter the final release, but he held off of it for now. For now there was no desperate need for it, unless the hooded man proved to be hostile. Although, it appeared as though the hooded man had no intentions of going to battle unless provoked. He seemed to be busy, but he sure seemed to know a whole lot about the situation....maybe he was the one behind it all. He'd have to inquire with Hyde about the other worlds.

The android observed the individual, noting a sadistic side to seeing how the individual made a comment how she would delight in seeing Lewis' mental state. So they were dealing with a possible sadist that had the power to observe Lewis from a distant location without being caught. The android was analyzing every action the figure took in order to be able to build a profile around this mastermind, so he could attempt to predict the person's next move. The android was even more surprised when the individual kicked Lewis toward them and sent him flying, that rivaled his strength. She had either enhanced herself or she was that strong naturally, meaning in terms of strength he would have to engage her in close combat.

However, when the hooded figure dropped its hood, it turned out to be a her. The individual was caucasian with red hair, a trait that not many shared. He was documenting anything and everything that he could, and evidently some males considered her to be attractive. Good, so they could ask males if they had seen her, and get her name. The woman mentioned a punk who had left the island, and Shunny asked who it was. A good question, but it held little relevance to the matter at hand, the guardian decided to ask two very direct questions. "I have two inquires." The android said after the others had their questions answered. His red eyes peered at the woman trying to get a bead on whether not she was lying to the group when she answered.

"First, why do you need this individual you are searching for? Secondly,why is us exploring these alternate worlds so critical to you? Isn't it rather risky basing your entire plan on the actions of others?" He inquired, curious, and wanting to know more about this individual's plans. Were their visits to this world playing into her hand, or was there a reason they had to keep searching these worlds. The first thought he had was the black white zone that Sharaku, Naomi, Hyde, and himself had experienced. After all if there was any reason why they should investigate it would be to stop this from encroaching on their world, and possibly making people disappear.

The android drank every detail that left the woman's lips, he had no intentions of leaving any stone unturned in regards to any information she had. Though as she answered his question, he froze in place. Every fiber of his being was roaring at him to grab Maria and leave, just like he did with Ueitawa. The words of his creator rang in his mind reminding him how he would fail in his duty to Maria, but he couldn't simply abandon everyone....again...could he? Of course he could! ...no...no he couldn't! The android was conflicted, there was still time to fix the problem and keep everyone who Maria held dear safe. She needed friends, she needed a lot of friends, he couldn't simply draw her away, could he?

However, as the woman began to do something with the air, his eyes snapped up to focus on her. The portal was different then what he was used to, it looked as though the islands were merging together. Who knows what effect that would have on the worlds! Then she explained what they were looking for was a secret in these worlds, and they had to do so in a timely manner. Great, a time limit, but it was something that the group could do for sure. They might have to split up to do so, but they could handle it. The woman mentioned a brother, and that could be a lead that they are looking for. To find out more about what she did, and where they could find these secrets that they are trying to find. It was a place to start, and a place where they could find a possible solution to all these problems. Granted, it might be wise to talk with any non-hostile denizens of the other worlds to see if they knew anything about their secrets. The group was going to have to meet up and discuss this before taking any real action.

Before the android could even ask her to stop she vanished, great more questions than answers. This was turning into a mystery novel that Maria enjoyed. Lewis was hopelessly defeated, and Sharaku was frustrated. "Yes, but we'll figure something out. After all, we're the only ones who know what has happened." The android said, when Shunny called his attention to helping Sharaku the android nodded, "Right I will do so." The android helped hoist Lewis up and carry him through the portal.
