(Yay, page 50!)
"Powers huh?" Roulin remarked as Anderson's slight transformation take place. It took Lucien to teach Roulin that abilities weren't his strong point. As of recently though, he was able to pinpoint the strengths and weaknesses of almost every ability he came across. Apparently, spending so much time around them has given him this insight. "They're aren't my strong point. I can tell you that, but that doesn't mean that I'm a pushover when it comes to it..." The ground beneath the Life Owl began to shift and break apart into sand and smaller rocks. Thanks to Zane's terrakinesis, he was able to do this. "Alrighty then Andy. I'm ready to see your power in action. Show me what you've got cousin."

She slept deeply, her breathing slow as her face could no longer be covered by any masks because of her unconscious state. This was her modo, 'Go till you can't go anymore, than sleep where you fall'. Her mind though was moving, calculating and remembering odd information that she received from Lucien. Lucien... that man was so much stronger than me. He had more than just a few titles to his name. The irritation of not understanding this man made her twitch in her sleep.
Ana knew she had been lifted, heard the boys speaking, yet her mind barely registered as she slept. The cool touch of a cloth made her hand automatically rise to her eyes, mumbling an apology under her breath as she dozed off again. How long had it been since she had slept? A week? Who knew what sleep was anymore. She knew she would have to return the boys' kindness somehow, for she never let a good deed go unnoticed.

After Johan stated what they already knew Lucien responded. "And what would you suppose we do now that they have organized a pseudo-army?" Lucien asked without looking at Johan, he was a senior member of the UNS but one Lucien had very little actual contact with. He turned around to look at everyone in the area. "We can't attack because then we will look like terrorists. We cannot infiltrate them because they have both psions and a knowledge of our ranks. A covert ops mission would result in an odd draw of attention but the second the higher members of the Fallen Phoenix's caught wind the operation would be blown and again we would appear to be the terrorists. Spreading rumors to break up their army wouldn't work either, if Raven has anything to do with their organized leadership then she will have the lower leveled owls groveling at her feet, while the higher powered owls will be to drunk on the anger and frustration she is feeding them against humans to properly understand what's going on around them." He thought for a moment as his eyes became a bright yellow color, he wasn't angry or getting ready to attack, it was just something that happened when he began to think on a more advanced level. He began mouthing words inaudibly. "We need time. Time we don't have." He finally said as he looked back up at his team.
As Roulin began to activate his terrakinesis Anderson began to focus on the more demonic side of his powers. He could feel his body exherting a dark red force as a silouhette of Dante's demonic familiar spirit appeared behind him. It screeched loudly as it's fangs glared throguh it's mouth. The twisted horns on it's head sprouted with a furocious might as it glared with it's blank eyes at Roulin. Anderson pointed towards Roulin as the demonic creature shot forward, once in range it raised a massive claw and swiped down to slice Roulin in half. Anderson all the while had shot to the side, creating his familiar starry night sky like energy he swiped his hands seven times each time releasing an edge of energy towards Roulin, being careful to not hit his own demonic familiar.

Kojiro let out a heavy breath as the set her down,"...I guess one way or another everyone has become tired..." he mumbled. Kojiro smiled slightly,"...Don't worry about me...I'm fine now..." he insisted. Kojiro watched him leave and then looked at Ana,"...Please be ok..." he whispered softly, he hoped that she did not exhaust herself on his account alone, he did not wan't anyone else paying for his mistakes. Before he could delve any deeper into the idea Nat came back with food and drinks, Kojiro gave him a confused look, "...Crisps?...what are those?" he asked rather confused, he took half of the sandwich and took a bite, Kojiro simply stared at the muffin while he chewed, rather unwilling to even taste it, he had tried foreign cuisine before, however he regrets being too adventurous most of the time. Kojiro let his gaze slip from the muffin for a moment and looked at Nat,"...Do you think she will be alright?" he asked in a low tone.

"We'll look like terrorists because a reject group of Owls have attacked and taken over a state within our beautiful nation?" Thomas scoffed as he eyed an alluring wide rimmed hat off to his left. The mid section of the hat, which was the only different colored part of the hat, contrasted perfectly with both the rest of it and his usual Death Owl attire. Before he could daydream about it any longer, he had a team to lead and a teenage Owl to deal with. "I'm suprised you could surmise what you did, but to say that isn't smart. If anything, they've given us a reason to utilize our own army against them. Of course, we need to test the waters. They are still Owls, so undoubtedly, they have alot of force. Force is defeated by plan....thus we need a plan. I'm sure you, leader, can come up with one." Raven was still alive. Her drawing breath was enough to make Thomas want to capture her again. She knew where Che's Deck and the Book of Owl History was. He may not have gotten it out of her last time, but this time he was sure that with a bit more coersion, he could extract an answer from her. "I have a plan of my own, but after you speak Lucien, I'll speak."
~~~
Roulin grinned at the attack Anderson had produced as it had reminded him greatly of what Dante used to attack with. Even though he wasn't around his cousin, he could tell that he had been training quite a bit. He wasn't about to gawk and be gutted like a fish though. Drawing from his Life Owl powers, he created a clear box of energy and exploded into a mist of finely granulated sand and silt. As the beast's claw came crashing down through the barrier, it slashed through a cloud of sand. Roulin was no where to be found and he hadn't become the sand for it hadn't countered the beast. Roulin had teleported to the side of Anderson and was now preparing an attack.
His hands were cupped with his palms facing the demon user. He was preparing his own version of one of Raven's more stronger attacks. Finally, after seconds of preparation, the let loose a nearly invisible, viciously rotating shockwave. The actual size of it was just about the same as a regular basketball, but the pressure and weight of it was equal that of a large car crash concentrated into a rather small area. After releasing the pulse of air, Roulin dreaded thinking of how a human would take the attack. Needless to say, there would be numerous contusions and a more copious amount of broken bones.

Anderson whipped to his side as Roulin appeared, in seconds he witnessed him burst some sort of attack, but Anderson wasn't going to stick around to find out what it was. His body instantly burst into thick mist the concussive blast fired through the mist dispersing it wildly throughout the immediate area. While Anderson's mist surrounded Roulin his demonic familiar stalked like a wolf through the mist, it's predatory instincts blazing with might. It shot through the mist like a creature from a horror movie firing a dark red beam from it's now gaping mouth. Anderson all the while formed his body behind his demonic famiiliar, this was only one side of the coin that made up his powers, the other he was saving for a little later.
"Oh? Asking for a plan when you already have one? What an unsettling thought." He said as he closed his mind to think for a moment. "Starting an army would take time and supplies, the supplies we have, it's the time we don't." He said as he leaned against a wall his black hair falling gently into his eyes as processes and formulas began to formulate in his mind. "Their group leadership is relatively small, meaning their armies groups will be in larger clustred divisions, meaning surveillance and covert ops will be severely limited due to man power. Getting into New York is very easy, it's getting close to make a move. Getting in by conventional means, plane and boat will leave records even if we use UNS standards. No for this we require a level of subtlety we rarely use. i suggest small divisions of teams slowly working their way into the country, each arriving different in both style and time to throw off suspisions, if we arrive in highly public recorded areas we'll be spotted and found out unless under a disguise." he knew that he could alter his own form and energy signature, he could become completely invisible to them, but the others couldn't and some, like Will were far to noticable to simply waltz in. "Once the entire team has recruited within the limits of New York we will use it's structure to our advantage, highly modernized skyscrapers tower over the other buildings, giving way to perfect vantage points. While subway and underground tunnels allow for flawless travel passageways around the survaillance that would normall hinder us." He smiled a little as he opened his eyes and looked at Thomas. "We'll use Sibal's mainframe to hack New York's surveillance equipment, from street cameras to the orbiting satellites. Once surveillance is ours i will have him erase all UNS movement from there our movement will only be restricted to being spotted by actual Phoenix members." He knew he could also use Jeannie's powers to erase their existance to normal people, her usefulness was amazing him more and more. "Using the powers of the UNS I would like to set up harmless safeguards. Invisible telekinetic wires along our escape routes which will break, meaning if anyone other then us discovers them then we will know the area either needs to be sterilized, or abandoned. Thomas unfortunately if you cannot properly disguise yourself then you will be a hindrance, either to stay in our base of operations or to be removed from direct involvement from the mission. As for our newer members they will be invaluable they are the eyes of this mission. They're either not on file or have yet to have contact with the Fallen Phoenix's they can move anywhere and see everything that the more senior members cannot." He smiled again closing his eyes as he thought his plan over again and again. "There you go Thomas, I've concocted a way for us to get in, now I want to know your plan before i continue with mine, better to know what you're thinking before i get to the real substance of my own plan."

Solaris Beauty Elle looked at Jaylin as he spoke. Was he really a chauvinistic pig? She rolled her eyes as she began to study his movement. She wasn't dumb, she was skilled at Capoeria only, seeing how she grew up in Brazil. As he threw the jab, she had to time this move perfectly. She never thought that people did things just to do them...they had a reason....and mostly in combat...people were sneaky. She then instead of vearing to the left or right, she dropped her whole body down to the ground, pushing of her upper back, she began to rotate on her hands, attempting to knock Jaylin off his feet, if successful, she would stop him before he hit the ground by, continously kicking him upwards and wrapping her legs around his neck, finishing off with a slam to the ground. She just hoped she had successfully pulled it off. Jaylin LaQuiel
Jaylin watched his opponent to study her moves and to get a feel of her movements as well as how she would react under the pressure of his feints, he was using his comments on the woman to try and invoke her to give him everything she had though this wasn't his personality in the least. Elle did well to dodge the jab while following up with her own attack and it would have been successful if she wasn't fighting Jaylin who used feints in his style. Another smile appeared on Jaylins lips yet again as he was all to familiar with her movement though just from the first attack he wouldn't be able to tell her style of combat off the back, the Equipping Owl merely followed with Elle's movement as he allowed her to trip him up and while maneuvering and throwing his body in the direction his body would have fell, he was able to somersault to put enough distance between them so he wouldn't be hit by her follow up attack though it all worked in his favor as in the middle of the somersault when Elle was attempting to kick him upward he would grab a hold of her ankle just as he landed and forcefully pulled her towards him with his superior strength in which she was yanked towards him and off the ground. Once she was in route and at his head level, Jaylin dashed forward in the same motion so the time it would take her to find a way out of the situation his cocked fist was already in route of delivering a strong straight punch towards the woman's chin which would send her flying several feet away from him, as well as do its damage with the added momentum he used by pulling her towards him and him dashing forward. Jaylin was not going all out but he would not insult the woman by pulling his punches to much til the point where she would notice.

"Time huh? We've been given orders from our friends at the ol' white house to mave whenever we see necessary. Thanks to that statement, we now have a bit of conflict." Thomas announced while bobbing his head in rhythm to his step. "Everything you've said is fantastic son, don't get me wrong, but like you said time is of the essence and it is time that your plan needs. How do you open a door that's slowly closing for you?" Thomas ventured with a smug grin pulling at his lips. After a brief moment of silence, the owl of death continued, "You get someone else to hold it open for you. Earlier, I was asking for a television to make sure that what I was told was correct. Word has it that Lomoli Presidiomni was captured along with Khalifa, the Azure Flash. Now, I hope the surname Presidiomni rings a bell. Both of them are related to Roulin in some way, one more than the other. Lomoli is his brother and Khalifa is a good teammate of his."
"How many people here are willing to bet that Roulin will go into New York very soon with his own little army to get his brother back? The day may not be certain, but I'll bet my position that because his Herald brother and his teammate have been taken down by a few Owls, little Roulin has run home to momma Noel begging for help?" Thomas looked over at Lucien, a sinister smirk replacing his confident grin. Cracking his neck excitedly, spoke to Lucien almost silently, "You know, in this army of Owls are many, many good powers for you to choose from. Are you ready to become a both a Hero and a monster?"
~~~
"Crap, crap, crap!" Roulin shouted repeatedly as box after box was broken through. The demon's attack was stronger than he thought. Either that, or his boxes weren't indestructable yet. He was betting both instances were the case here. When the beam neared, he had enough time to fire a concussive blast at it, but Anderson's beam stopped it just at his palm. He was now forcing wave out while having the monster's beam break apart just inches away from his chest and face. His suit was receiving burns and his face was receiving the like. Thankfully, he could heal still. While keeping the beam somewhat at bay with his hands, he managed to pull off a stomp that broke the ground up in a line towards the beast. He needed it to lose it's footing before it's beam shavings burned his arms, torso and cheek away.

"You're as twisted as ever." he said as he looked at Thomas. "You would use them, like they're normal people? That's disquisting." He wasn't going to lie, it was a great opportunity, one that did cross his mind, but it was one that he didn't want to take. "We've managed to steal everyting from the Presidiomni family, their home, their organization, their family, their lives. Are we going to try and take their happiness next?" he asked staring up at his predecessor. When Thomas whispered to him about the powers he felt his fists tighten slightly. He looked away. "I will become the monster of the world in my own way......I will not however become the satanic creature I was in my future visit, that was beyond my plans, it was just.....horrible." He whispered near the end. He looked up at Thomas with his bright yellow eyes. "however, if the opportunity presents itself that I find an unusual power I shall indeed take it, and I will be one step closer to taking your place as Death Owl. One cannot change the world without power and rank, I intend to take both from you when the time comes." He said with his own smirk. In the recesses of Lucien's mind he was furious, at his own weakness and his own faults, the bit about powers Thomas had said was apart of Lucien's mind he couldn't help but think about, he knew scientifically that if he gained more and more powers he would become the greatest owl, one that could survive all odds and conquer all challenges, but that wasn't how Lucien did things he would accomplish his own goals in his own way, not a way strictly dictated by brutal instinct.
Anderson gasped a little as the shockwaves shook his demon up. He watched it's beam fire high into the sky lighting up the sky like a rocket. "Wow it has more force then I originally thought." He said as he looked at Roulin. he snapped his fingers recalling the demon back into his body. Anderson shot forward as his body began to glow silver he thrusted his hand forward firing a white hot beam of celestial energy, now that they were under the sky his powers were reaching their pinnacle. he flipped through the air as a silver vapor trail was left glowing behind him. He soared across the sky circling around Roulin, he looked down as he fired several blasts down at the Life owl, a terror from above. "Don't lose sight of the real opponent here Roulin! I haven't had this much fun in ages!" He said with a happy laugh, Anderson liked sparring it made him feel alive knowing that they could fight without having to kill one another.

Vincent continued to play the game as his head began to hurt. The constant babble between Lucien and Thomas was annoying him. He shut of the handheld as he approached the two. "Are you both really that damn dumb?" he asked seriously. "You're over thinking things Lucien and Thomas....you're just being an a**" he said. "I mean how about this...it's just an idea so don't get your thongs in a bunch" he said. "Have me go, I'm a child. I can say I ran away and even give up information that you all are planning to invade New York. With my abilities, I can at least get in good with Raven and stabalize the area so that no OWLS can get into the paramater without 'freezing'" he said. "Lucien, I'm sure you can aquire the ability to teleport...or find someone who works in the UNS to do that. As far as using survalances....I'm sure that they are destroyed due to construction. I'm more than sure that New York was flooded, so as far as subways....that's a no go, and everyone knows that subway tunnels are surrounded by bodies of water so I'm sure they have been flooded. I'm just saying let's be a little smarter with this, but let's not over think" he said as he turned on his video again.
Elle felt his punch as she flew several feet back. She looked at him with anger. She wasn't with her sister so she couldn't use her telepathic abilities. She had to admit, that hit hurt...a lot. She then began to grab at her bag but she was sure that Noel said no abilities but looking at Roulin and his cousin she felt that she could ....there were no machines around but she did have her phone. She touched it as she was sending out a radio frequency. She was going to contact fighter jets to fly towards where they were. Jaylin had no idea what her power was so she tucked her phone back into her bag and ran towards him, preparing an axe kick towards him.

Lucien's patience had been tested to the last with the trail of events which seemed to constantly play with his patience. he turned towards Vincent taking a step forward he lifted his hand up lifting Vincent into the air with his telekinesis. "Don't look down on me Vincent. You're here because Amara had a soft spot for you, you're the new member with no credit you have no right to speak here let alone denounce the others." His eyes became slitted. "You remind me of Anya, and I was one conversation short of slicing her head in half. If you want to voice your mind do so in a better fashion or I'll throw you out the window at break neck speed." He said as he released his grip dropping Vincent. "As for your plan you've still had contact with the Fallen Phoenix's and they have a powerful mental user who can enter your mind, you're no Amara you can't hide your thoughts from someone like her. The surveillance would be priority one to be restored, it's been weeks and the entirety of New York wasn't affected they have their surveillance equipment up and running i can assure you of that. As for the subway tunnels they are built to withstand flooding and earthquakes, each one with it's own backup and run off system to prevent casualties, no doubt within days they would have them flooded. And if not it's not like we can't remove it ourselves, fire users, water users, ice users, telekinetics it doesn't matter we can clear out all of it in a matter of hours."

Vincent's face wrinkled when Lucien lifted him telekineticly. He didn't care who Lucien was, he had no right to do that to him. Vincent was only a 14 year old boy who was still trying to discover himself. Looking at him he squinted his eyes. "Who says I don't resent all of you" he said. When he was put down he still walked up towards Lucien. "You're just bitchy because Amara's not here!!! Is the heartless Lucien actually feeling emotion...you're a damn robot. Throw me out the window and I swear your body will be all over this room" he threatened. "If you layed a finger on me, I know Amara would kill you in a second" he retorted back. "So don't ******** with me" he said as he expanded his hand and shattered the windows in the lobby.

"Heh, check out this kid here..." Thomas said after listening to Vincent's thought. While the kid did have an idea, there were a few things that would keep the mission from even leaving the ground. Before getting to Lucien, Thomas figured he'd address these flaws. "It's about time you decide to stop playing your gamedude or whatever hell you kids play nowadays and deliver a plan. Unforturnately, as good as it is son, it won't work out as smoothly as you want it to." Thomas withdrew his hand from his silken black hair when he realized once again that there was no hat atop his head. A scowl flashed across his lips before he spoke to Vincent once again. "Let's send you, Vincent, a member of the UNS slash a kid that they've seen already to The Fallen...guys...on a silver platter. Secondly, as bad as it may sound Lucien, we've studied how you kill people. The last thing you want to do is kill another person on our team alright. Because now our president has the idea that only Owls can fight Owls, stacks of paper work went into saving your a** son. Finally, it's a state full of Owls. One of them is bound to be able to see at least for twenty miles...that's surveillance enough."
Thomas looked over to Lucien, then back at Vincent. Sighing somewhat tiredly and annoyedly, he turned his gaze forward bringing his index finger and thumb to the bridge of his nose. "Of course, we won't know if his surmise is true until we enact it. And why not take their happiness? You've taken the happiness of many before my friend. Why stop now?" Thomas hissed devilishly as if speaking straight into Lucien conscious. "When in combat, the first thing you want to break is your opponent's spirit. Unfortunately, that has become out last and final step. After that is done, then by all means Lu, I will step down and let you do what you believe is right in your black little heart. Now, can you two please calm down and try to act as a team? Like I said, the last thing you want to de here is kill another of our men."
~~~
"I'm going to lose sight in this lazerlight show you're putting on here!" Roulin looked up with a grin at Anderson. His power intrigued him and so did his usage of it. Like Dante, it appeared Anderson liked to put on quite the show for those that were engaged in combat with him. Thankfully, they were in a sparring session because he was sure what followed the lightshow was a quick death. "I'm not much to put on a show, but I have a few lights of my own!" As the beam neared, Roulin's body began to shine somewhat. He was activating his the photokinetic branch of his powers. Taking a move from his brother, he leaped up and began to spin at an amazing rapid pace.
His twirling body, which was now covered by a rigged corrugated shell of light shaved through the beam, narrowly missing Anderson. As the cacoon of light faded, it revealed Roulin gazing at Anderson with a expressing blending seriousness and excitement. The bursts of energy though managed to hit him when he attempted to return the attacks with kicks. Two simply burst over him, seering him greatly, and the other two were sent flying back at the sender. Behind one of them though was Roulin's elongated hand. Intrigued by his cousin's power even more now, he felt that to fully understand, he'd have borrow for himself.

Lucien's eyes widened when Vincent mentioned Amara. 'Is the heartless Lucien actually feeling emotion' those words hit him the most. Lucien's eyes flashed the architech seal for a moment. He whipped his arm up smacking it into Vincent's cheek. He didn't use his super strength to it's fullest but he did to a small extent. He glared down at vincent with cold eyes only the Death owl could manifest. "Don't ever say her name. You're a pet, a project she picked up, nothing more. She took pity on you, the lost beaten dog. Play tough all you want you're a child playing an adult's game. There's a reason i was chosen to become a member of the Great Four, because I'm an Owl to fear, you're an insect in my path. If you can't listen to orders then get the hell out of my sight." He turned around looked towards the broken window. "Up until now i have been rather calm when handling my team, I have sparred you all from my actual thoughts because you were my team, some bit of me held onto the sentimental grasp of a family, you're right I am feeling emotions, emotions i don't ever have to feel, I am a scientific person love, compassion, hope, these I thought were only hindrances and nothing more, abominations that slow the human mind. Amara began to show me that I was wrong, and I will not stand here and listen to you use her as a shield for your own weakness." he turned around to look at Vincent again. "Never disgrace her name by doing that again. If you do, I will see to it you understand why I am to succeed the death owl."

Anderson shot through the air attempting to evade his own refracted beams. he flipped backwards landing on a silver streak of energy. "Can't fight what you can't see, or so I've heard." He said as he flew backwards. He raised his hands to block his own beams, the sheer heat they gave off burned his hands a little causing him to recoil slightly. He deflected them as he clenched his hands which were turning red from the burn. As he looked up he saw a hand reaching out beyond one of the beams. Anderson reached out himself slamming his hand against Roulin's he fired a point blank beam of concentrated silver energy from palm to palm, in a lesser owl or person it would have fired straight through their arm and out the other side, but for someone like Roulin he didn't know. Using his other hand he fired dozens of needle like projections of cosmic energy towards Roulin's stretched out torso.
