she shot back coldly. ''we are hoping to brig it back... the data in fifteen primes genes proves to be useful. and i am well aware of how long it has been...''

"The only interesting genes I got are my pink denims, lady," Ami retorted. "And I don't think they'd suit you. You just aren't a Spring."

elena didn't seem to notice. she stumbled, moving the blade to fall. she dropped a picture as she stood and straightened.
nikky frowned.... the move looked all too familiar.

Ami pulled her sword back just slightly, but couldn't avoid nicking Elena's neck--
THe picture froze Ami in her tracks. It was a picture of herself, playing dress up with her sister at age nine.
Her "family resemblance" in it was unmistakeable.
"Ami, watch it!"
Ami barely managed to duck in time as Elena attacked...

elena swung her EMR at amis head. she jumped back and charged again.
nikky sighed, knowing that she should stay out of it till she was needed... which she will most likely not be. v.v

Ami swung back, meeting the EMR with her Dragon's Teeth, crossing them before her in a block. She kicked at Elena's knees, trying to get her off-balance...
Reno moved in with a wild swipe, grinnign like a bobcat. "You know, I've just been waiting for an excuse to hand your a** to you, Blondie."
Rude tossed his gun aside. He wanted to bring Elena down as badly as the rest of them, but he wasn't so quick to forget they had once fought side by side... He balled his fists and assumed a defensive position. He knew Elena could get pretty wild when she was cornered.

((If I do that, I'll be basically talking to myself... lol
Nah, you're doing a good job here. You keep on playing her when you come back tomorrow.))
Ami swung sideways with the broad side of her Dragon's Teeth to knock the EMR out of Elena's hand. Reno zeroed in on Elena's head, going in for the proverbial kill...

*Bonk!*
Reno smiled with deep satisfaction as he finally did what he'd been dying to do from the day he joined the Turks... hit Elena very hard over the head. "See ya around, babe."
He flipped her a double bird.

elena dropped and stayed limp.
nikky poked her head up before getting up and walking over silently.

Reno put an arm around Nikky. "And that is how I say 'Take this job and stick it'." He kissed her cheek, feeling very very cheerful all of a sudden.
Ami sprinted up the driveway, Reno and Rude in hot pursuit. "Ami, hold it!" Reno yelped.
She had her hand on the car door handle when Rude finally stopped her, just barely in time, dropping his very heavy hand over hers to keep it from moving. "You don't want to do that."
"Why not?"
"It would be bad."
"Define bad."
"The car would explode."
"OK, you're right, that's bad."
Rude got a set of keys out of his back pocket and got out what looked like a remot control locking device. He hit a button on it, and the car's alarm chirped pertly. A computerized voice said: "Self-destruct mechanism disarmed."
Ami gaped. "That's it?"
"That's it." He moved to open the car door.
Ami stopped him. "Hang on a sec." She climbed onto the trunk and sat down. "OK, now do it."
Rude got the idea... she'd rather die with her family than watch them die for her if the mechanism wasn't truly ready.
He yanked the handle... Ami cringed...
Nothing happened, except that the door opened.
Ami and Reno breathed a huge sigh of relief.

Post by Tseng on Oct 11, 2006 5:34:16 GMT
Tseng exited the house, still glancing through a manilla folder he'd ransacked from the inside. As he left the dwelling, Tseng looked up expecting to find Elena waiting with the car. Instead, he found himself looking at not only a blast from the past, but Fifteen Prime herself sitting on the trunk. Tseng stopped dead in his tracks as the two turned and locked eyes with him. Tseng's gaze moved back and forth between the two of them and he quickly crushed the folder in half and stuck it into his jacked pocket, whipping out his EM rod, slapping on a smug grin as he approached the two, taking his time.
"Well look who we have here... Reno, I'm going to have a bit of a conundrum here as to what to do about you... But dont think for a MOMENT that I wont go right through you to complete my task."
Rude scoffed, adjusting his shades on his nose as he revealed his presence from behind the car. "Yeah, well dont forget about me, slick."
Tseng barely acknowledged Rude's presence with a roll of his eyes. "And where one leads... the other follows.... I'm going to ask you once and only once Reno... Get out of my way."
Reno shook his head, stepping in between Nikky and Tseng. "Did the intelligence level at Shinra drop since I left? I see here we've got three against your one, pal. I dont think there's much reason for me to go crying into the night while you follow through being the lap dog you are."
Tseng was about to respond, then he saw two familiar looking shoes sticking out from behind the car and his eyes burned angrily as he turned his gaze back to Reno and Nikky. Reno cringed and glanced back at her. "This is about to get ugly..."
Tseng gripped the handle of his EMR tightly and shook his head. "Red boy... You have no idea... I'm about to beat you like the red-headed stepchild you are."
Rude cracked his knuckles from his place beside Reno as the two readied themselves. Then Tseng struck, launchin himself through the air straight at Reno.

Reno lunged to the side and swatted at him with the EMR, following up with a roundhouse kick. "Dude, you are in serious need of a drink, yo."
Rude came at him from the other direction with a solid fist aimed towards his head.
Ami climbed onto the car roof with cat-like speed and vaulted off it, landing behind Tseng and thrusting her Dragon's Teeth at him. "Hey, now I remember you!" Her voice went dark. "You're that kidnapping sumb***h that yanked me right out of the middle of the town park... in broad daylight, no less. You got chutzpah to the nooch, I'll give you that!"

Tseng managed to dodge the EMR strike, but the roundhouse connected with his shoulder blades, sending him stumbling forward. He quickly recovered however and twisted around, avoiding Rude's massive fist careening towards his face, then used his own momentum to send him sprawling into Reno, which in turn send them both slamming into the car window, shattering it. He felt a sharp pain in his side and leapt away from Ami's dragon's teeth, which now dripped with his blood. He tilted his head to the side as he looked at the accusing girl in front of him and memories snapped back into focus.
"Oh yeah... I remember you too... Thanks to you I got bumped up out of Shinra's lab duty. I was just a kid back then... And you were much MORE of a kid then."
Tseng swung fluidly towards Ami's face, trying to confuse her with the motion, then he struck right at the center of her collarbones.
