Circe's Manor

[Kumi-chan]

"Fine then." The man smirks to Circe waiting for her next move now. "Stop me if you can."

The little boy shakes his head to her. "No... I cannot let them do that."

The men and the vehicles are all easily disposed of easily. They don't seem as loyal as the one man though nor as well equipped.

Have it your way, then. *Circe starts things small, throwing a fireball at the man.*

Trust me, Miss Circe will do it wheter you want her to or not.

The men and the vehicles are all easily disposed of easily. They don't seem as loyal as the one man though nor as well equipped.

After leaving the men and their vehicles in some parking lot somewhere, the soldiers return to the command truck. The sergeant steps inside, and lets the commander know where they were left. She smiles, and nods slightly.

"Excellent..." She glances at the doctor to her side. "Doctor, are we picking up signals from all six tracking devices?"

The man nods. "Yes, although the range is a bit limited. If they're transported somewhere by magic, well... we'll have to hope we're lucky enough to pick them up on remote. Otherwise, though, we should be able to follow their movements through the city."

The commander looks satisfied with this. "All right. Since our guests have already shown up, I want to reassign to of our drones to shadow those men and their vehicles. Minimum operating ceiling of 500 meters, and have them operate in stealth mode. That should be enough to keep them from being noticed."

The sergeant nods, salutes her, and heads out to make the preparations.

The woman turns to the doctor. "And now, doctor... we wait to see if we can find out who's behind this whole thing..."

[AmbushCat]

The little boy shakes his head to her. "No... I cannot let them do that."

Swift: *Pokemon-speak* --They won't.-- *body markings glowing*

Vacuum: *telepathically* You two, get back to your positions. We need to be ready if we're going to pull this off.

*The Umbreon and Mismagius nod before retreating into the shadows... around the door leading to Callista's temporary bedroom.*

[Kumi-chan]

(Ahh that was a good break. Unplanned but good. Sorry for stopping at a completely horrible time.)

The man simply knocks the flame away with his right hand. "What kind of attack was that? Really no wonder people think little of you." He smirks having some knowledge of the women before her. "Or do I need to run to mommy to get a real fight?"

"No! Cannot let ms Circe get hurt. I must save." The boy doesn't seem to notice but he is drawing in the energies around him again. Sapping them into himself those nearby noticing the colors seem to fade like a water color painting.

Ahh those poor nameless npc type men. So weak. So vulnerable, especially to their vehicle exploding. Mischa's people would pick up a short distant signal coming from the suv before it explodes. Seems they were preset to with the signal.

Tch... That was just a warm-up. *Circe mutters a short spell, and her hair pulls itself into a braid behind her. This done, she draws her lightsaber and runs at the man, swinging it at his chest.*

Just... calm down, okay? Miss Circe will be fine.

Ahh those poor nameless npc type men. So weak. So vulnerable, especially to their vehicle exploding. Mischa's people would pick up a short distant signal coming from the suv before it explodes. Seems they were preset to with the signal.

It takes a few minutes to figure out what went wrong, but when the cause of the explosion is identified as the tracer signal, the commander slams her fist down on her desk, before slumping forwards. "Damn it... I should've known they would've detected a signal."

The scientist winces sympathetically. "Admittedly, while we expected them to be monitored, we didn't foresee that they would've been monitoring their own vehicles for something like that."

"If they were monitoring the men, they would've been monitoring the vehicles as well!" She leans forwards, resting her head on her hands. "We should've followed them passively through visual observation. Probably by satellite."

"Maybe then those men would still be alive."

The scientist sighs, and then nods. "A lesson learned, I suppose."

The commander turns to glare at him. "Those men were more than just a lesson!" she snaps.

Her companion pauses, and then nods. "My apologies." He glances in the direction of the manor. "At any rate... I suppose it's up to them now, to find out anything about this group. It seems our methods didn't work..."

The commander sighs, and rises to her feet. "I... need some tea. I'll be in the back," she murmurs, before heading into the rear of the command truck.

[Kumi-chan]

The man jumps back as she swings at him. He pulls out a handle that seems like a light saber hilt, only it is clearly more of a buckler design. He presses a button on it and a thin antenna raises from it ending in a loop. Energy form up along the antenna and forms into a beam of it. He swings at Circe with the beam sword powered up.

"but... but! he's a bad man. I don't want miss Circe to be hurt." He seems to calm down, at least the draining has slowed down.

*A door opens nearby, surprising Ambush Cat's Pokemon.*

Voice: *weakly* Take it from me... it'll take more than whoever's disturbing my beauty sleep has in his or her arsenal to scratch her.

*Callista steps out into the hallway, looking tired. And ill. And utterly, utterly p$#!^ed.*

*Circe holds her 'saber up to block his attack.*

Don't worry, kid. No one's ever beaten Miss Circe before, and neither will this guy.

*Callista steps out into the hallway, looking tired. And ill. And utterly, utterly p$#!^ed.*

Miss Callista! Why aren't you in bed?

[AmbushCat]

Callista: *without facing her; growls* There's this little noise that's keeping me from getting my precious rest. I'm going to treat it like the alarm clock it is and smash it to bits.

[Circe]

Miss Callista, you can't fight in your state!

[AmbushCat]

Callista: *starts to trudge down the hallway* I'm going to slap that snooze button. *stops and turns, giving those in the hallway an empty stare* Unless you want to try and stop me.

[Kumi-chan]

The man taks another swing at Circe smirking at her making her have to keep on dodging.

The boy heads down the hall with Callisto. "If Circe can stop him then you don't need to."

[AmbushCat]

Callista: *slowly walks onward* I should hope so. I honestly don't want to fight... like the maid said, my health ain't that great right now. What I want to do more than anything else is sleep. *turns to look at the boy* Don't feel that you have to be sympathetic; I don't even know you.
