Reno smiled and placed the order, parking himself on the bed next to Nikky again when he was done. "They oughta be here in about half an hour, they said," he explained. "So... got any plans until then?" He moved closer to her, moving his hand over hers.
****
Kadaj shut off the radio and stuffed his key into his pocket. "All right. But first we'll need transportation-- the swamp is quite a long way off. Hopefully there is some sort of vehicle rental nearby." He got out the phone book. "Let me see here..." He picked up the phone. "Hello, I'd like to see about renting four motorcycles for the next two days..." He paused and glanced at Kamen, putting a hand over the reciever. "You can handle a motorcycle, right?" Someone on the other end said something. "Excuse me? Oh, any kind is fine. But, uh, make sure they're built for... strain. What? Is it your business what kind of strain? As long as I'm paying for it... yes, fine, as long as we have straight who's the customer here."

Nikky smiled as she felt his hand and scooted closer so that they were almost touching. "Well... I don't know. I could..." She grinned a bit. "I have been known for a few good rounds of almost any game." She grinned wider, playfully.
Kamen blinked before nodding. "Yeah, I have some experience with 'em." He assured. He and his little body Lekii used to race each other in stolen bikes....

Reno smiled and leaned closer, kissing her deeply as he wrapped his arms around her. He broke the kiss with a grin. "I like this game. Who's winning?"
****
Kadaj nodded acknowledgement to Kamen and finished his call. "They should have a courier here with the cycles on board a truck as soon as possible." He sat down for a minute and glanced at the new addition to their numbers. "Let's hope they make it fast. The spike ought to only last for another six hours." He eyed Kamen carefully. "What do you know about mental attacks?"

Nikky smiled and kissed him back, leaning into him and tangling her fingers in his hair. She broke it off and grinned back before knocking him over and pinning him down. "I am." She smirked.
Kamen nodded a bit before blinking. He thought about it before looking back at him. "Enough to know how to use them correctly.... why??" He had an almost worried look. He was trained in various forms of attack and persuasion, to his mental capacity and strength.... but with this added strength and ability he wasn't sure about it too much....

Reno suddenly found it harder to breathe. "I think I'd have to agree with you on that..." He pulled her down and into a deep, passionate kiss, moving his hands over her back.
****
Kadaj sent a small pang into Kamen's mind. Through our "mother", we have acquired the ability to attack minds directly. With minimal effort, you should be able to induce vast psychological pain, which subsequently affects physical well-being. Or lack thereof, more appropriately. Try it out, see if you can get the knack of it. It's almost a reflex at first, but later you can control it. He sent in another pang. I hope that isn't hurting too badly... I'm trying to induce the reaction. Don't worry about hurting me... push back, resist it.

Nikky grinned and kissed him back, moving against him slightly. She broke it off for a minute. "You give up to easily..." She grinned before kissing him again.
Kamen flinched only slightly at the pain. Oh, okay. I get it now... He grinned a bit and sent a pang back, a playfully light one though. He was used to mental fights... but this was a bit different so he was just testing it out a bit. It was kinda fun.... You're suggesting that I use this against my Master?? He prodded a bit at him, experimenting.

Reno found himself panting slightly as he broke the kiss for a moment. "A man has... mmm... has got to know when he's been outmatched." He moved against her, stroking her sides, his lips closing over hers...
****
Kadaj winced slightly at the prodding. He was not used to letting people poke around in his head. It could be a noteworthy advantage. Your master seems unable to initiate similar attacks... he might not see this coming. He pushed back, a bit more strongly, bracing himself for the reciprocation. I want to be sure I'm not overestimating him. He's displayed quite a great deal of potential... it's a pity he won't be able to access it for much longer.

Nikky grinned and kissed him passionately. "With me, baby..." She kissed him again, cupping his face. "You will always be outmatched..."
He may not, but he can restrict physical movement and be like he is. A Puppet Master. He added, feeling him push back. He knows I'm not weak anymore... at least not psychologically, but he probably won't see this coming at him. He grinned before gathering up a bit of power and sending a mini blast at Kadaj. It wasn't too hard, but powerful enough to meet his brace. He liked this little bantering, he was better at learning this then the other games they played.... lol

"Oh, G**, I hope so," Reno replied, holding her against him, running his fingers into her hair... falling into her kisses... Here's hoping the pizza guy runs into traffic on the way here... because suddenly I'm not so hungry anymore... at least not for pizza...
****
The blast didn't catch Kadaj off guard, but he was put slightly off-balance by the ease with which Kamen was learning how to use his new skill. The brace and the push were about equal now, and their menatl push-of-war had met a momentary stalemate... He resisted a little more, throwing up a moderately strong shield. Let's see if you can counter that...
The others watched with piqued interest. If Kamen proved able to hold his own against their brother... things could become very interesting indeed. Once again, Amnesty has by sheer luck stumbled over a rather remarkable discovery... evidence that perhaps our kind isn't so near extinction as we thought... some girls get all the luck.

She laughed and stayed limp on him, kissing him harder and rougher. She was sure the pizza guy would show up at the worst moment so she tried to only make it more fun and not push for the next base....
Kamen winced a bit and grew slightly more frustrated. He knew Kadaj was probably a lot stronger then him... his skill much higher and refined. He mentally searched for a weak point, not finding a real reliable one he decided to test his own strength... with moderation of course. He was hesitant and wary. Afraid he would hurt Kadaj. He maintained an eye contact with him as he gathered up and pulled away from his prodding so Kadaj couldn't read as well what he was doing.
He searched for a good way to do this before pushing it all together and throwing it at Kadaj's wall, not at any other points he could hit. Hurting him was not his goal, knocking down shield was. He forced what he thought would be a fairly good attack, taking careful consideration of his strength and lack of skill.... I hope that made some affect.... He thought curiously.

As usual, restraint was the farthest thing from Reno's mind. He pushed back roughly against her kisses, running his hands all over her... he was feeling warmer and warmer with every passing second... to his understanding, it was not an object of doing what could be conveniently fit into the time it took to deliver a pizza. It was about seeing how far a person could possibly get prior to the moment of said delivery.
****
Kadaj was genuinely startled. Kamen had, of course, been unable to knock the shield down, but the attack he had made punched a huge dent it in... he had come d**n close to penetrating it altogether. All right, Kamen, that's enough for now. I think you have the hang of it... we should both save our energy.
He directed his thoughts to the others. He's good. And when I say someone is good, that means... they are GOOD.
The others were genuinely amazed. Almost too good, Yazoo replied. Kadaj, I just know there is Seraph in him. All we did was unlock it.
Kadaj tried to quell his excitement at what this might mean. All this time we thought we were the only ones... who knows what else we were wrong about? The Cetran War? The Seraph Cradle? Even... the death of the Motherworld?
He turned his attention back to the others. It's vital we break Vikktor now. Until we understand exactly what this temporary brother of ours IS, we absolutely cannot allow harm to come to him. He mentally weighed a few of the possibilities... Mental warfare is his forte, not physical. At least that rules out the possibility of his being a Patran... A Neithid? Probably. Thenids were in comparison to the other houses always weakest in all respects... though formidable against non-Seraphs, they never won any major conflict with any of the other houses.
A blaring air horn interrupted the conversation. Kadaj checked outside... the truck had arrived. Now came the part he was ill-prepared for... He glanced back into the room wanly. "Someone has to go out and sign for the cycles."
He looked back out and was obviously surprised by what he saw. "On second thought, hold that..."
Rude was already there, signing and paying for the rentals. One could almost swear HE is a closet psychic as well...
In truth it had been nothing that complicated. He had heard the truck, seen the four cycles in the back, and thought to himself, Could there be any doubt as to who THOSE are for? Of course it would have to be for those punks... I've never met anyone else capable of making so much noise by doing so little.
The truck drove away. Kadaj turned back to his brothers in arms. "Gentlemen, seems we're set for departure."

Kamen grinned and nodded. Yeah, you're right... He was rather proud of himself... Not all that happy with almost hurting Kadaj, but that he was better then before. He looked to the others, bringing all his shields down and letting his energy be stored for later. This is so awesome! I wish this was permanent....
He heard the truck and then looked to Kadaj as he spoke. He nodded and stood, anxious now to get going. His spirits were lifted and he felt a bit better about this whole thing.
Nikky stayed under control with her emotions as she kissed him passionately and roughly. She tugged on his hair and ran her hands surprisingly softly down his neck....

Reno moaned quietly... Nikky was hands down the best thing that had ever happened to him. And she didn't seem able to go a day without reminding him of this. He moved his hand up to her face, caressing it and drawing her deeper into the kiss, which kept getting hotter and hotter all the time... he moved the other across her back, holding her down against him...
****
Someone seems to have leveled up his confidence stats, Kadaj thought. That will definitely be good for us.
Yazoo's thoughts were running along a similar thread. "Earlier you outright defied your master," he mused. "Perhaps then we should abandon the plan of using Nikky as a decoy? It might be a good idea to leave her and the others out of this... the less leverage we provide your master with, the better." Reno might be disappointed that he missed out on all the excitement... but by the way I saw him and Nikky necking earlier, I'm sure he can find ways to make it up to himself.

Nikky melted into his touch and grinned at his moan. He wasn't always vocal... this was special. She giggled slightly and added in her tongue, kissing him deeply but still with fire and passion. She pressed against him and ran her hands down his sides....
Kamen looked over and grinned sheepishly. "Yeah... heheh." He then nodded. "Reno wouldn't be too happy with the decoy... Nikky wouldn't mind though. But I think we could handle it without them..." He paused. "As for my Master... yeah, that would be better."

He kissed back harder, moving upwards to meet her, sliding his tongue over hers... he wanted her so bad... he didn't care at this point if a Pizza Man came bringing a pizza made of solid gold with the heavenly chorus to announce it. He held her tightly, rubbing against her...
****
"Very well, then..." Kadaj discarded the tunic he'd had over his "normal" clothes and secured his scabbard to his side. "Let's get moving, then."
The others followed suit. Walk tall. If someone spots us parading around outside... I want to make it obvious that this is one world I'm not scared of.
Hear, hear.
They marched out to their bikes and boarded them one by one. Kadaj turned the ignition and a swell of nostalgia came over him.
Loz apparently felt it, too. "Time to go kick Gepetto's a**!"
Their engines roared in unison... they waited for Kamen to be ready...
Kadaj broadcasted to the others. We roll on my mark.
