We need to talk (Gallaghers)

[Mitsukai]

Mitsukai stood alone on the roof of the school at the dead of night waiting patiently for the arrival of the other two pillars. She had called them earlier that day to meet her here at this time for something very important. But she could not tell either of them through the phone, and nor did she know a good place to go to during the day without the chance of someone eavesdropping in on them. It was far too risky to have anyone else discover what she was up to. She never knew who exactly might be working for Gabriel and if that man found out she was planning to betray him this whole plan was screwed....

Yes Mitsukai was finally going to turn her back on Gabriel once and for all. It had to happen eventually, there was just too much problems she had with that man to not deify him in the manner she intended to do. If Victor had not presented her with the opportunity he had yesterday she would eventually do it herself.....or Nami would try to kill him the second his back was turned <.<

All she needed now was to get Sara and Matrim to join them. There co-operation would definitely make a big impact on their plans. The question now was would they? She had only a vague idea of how much the duo liked Gabriel but was that enough to make them side with her? Mitsukai was also unaware of their standing with Victor. She had no clue if they did not trust that man even if she did for the moment. Now was the time to find out...

She fiddled around with her cellphone as she waited on the pair. Keeping track of the time as she waited patiently. It was almost time...

[Sara Gallagher]

Bzzzt... Bzzztttt...

o_____O

Bzzzzzzzzzztttttt....

"Matrim, I'm vibrating," O_________o

"Kinky...."

"No really Matrim, I'm vibrating..." Bzzzzzzzzzzzzzttttttttttt...

Sara pushed up off her seat and looked under her. "SO THAT'S WHERE THAT WENT!" O= Sara pulled the mystery item out from between the cushions of the couch and tossed it over into the corner of the room.

BeepBeep... "Matrim, I'm beeping..."

"Not SO kinky..."

She frowned at him, patting her pockets as she looked for her phone. She pulled it from her pocket and flipped it open, quickly reading the text. "Mitsukai wants us to meet her at the school..." She glanced at the window, noting how dark it was, and then back to the tv. "My wedding shows are on..." >_>" "I'll only go if I can wear my ninja costume."

~~~~~30 minutes later~~~~~

Sara darted forward across the school lawn, dressed in all black, a cap and a ripped piece of shirt covering her face. Ninja style! She threw herself behind a tree and peeked around it to scan the field. "All clear..."

She threw a glare back at Matrim as he stepped on yet ANOTHER twig. "Just 'cuz the school is empty, doesn't mean you can't pretend it's not... you have no imagination." She threw herself out from behind the tree and into a roll. She came to her feet behind another tree, almost at the school now. "Hey... Hey Matrim. PSSSST! I'll race you to the roof..." She threw him a mischievous smirk, then took off towards the wall. She took a flying leap and latched onto the brick with her gloves and proceeded to scale the wall.

She reached the edge of the roof and not so gracefully rolled over the side, landing on her back on the rough ground, breathing heavily. Her head dropped to the side as she nodded and at Mitsukai. Then she jumped to her feet, throwing a fist in the air triumphantly. "I WON MATRIM!"

[Matrim Gallagher]

"I'll only go if I can wear my ninja costume."

"Fine by me."

~29 minutes and 59.5 seconds later~

"All clear..."

"ALL WHAT?" Matrim said, making a point to step on every single twig and branch he could. He was giggling a bit as he walked through the school.

"Just 'cuz the school is empty, doesn't mean you can't pretend it's not... you have no imagination."

"On the contrary, I once thought Emily was Reira for like.... quite awhile," Matrim said, "My imagination is a little too good."

"Hey... Hey Matrim. PSSSST! I'll race you to the roof..." She said as he looked over and thought about racing her to the ceiling. He thought about it and started to talk when she took off.

"Nah I think we should just... hey! HEY!" He took off, "I'll beat you even if it.... oh.... right.... shit...."

Matrim ran into the building as she crawled up the wall. He was tempted to use hobo fu on that wall, but he didn't want to give it away by doing exactly what he did as God the Hobo. In any case he ran toward the stairs, he was going to be a bit behind Sara, probably giving her and Mitsukai some time to talk before he ever got to the top....

Shit....

[Mitsukai]

"I WON MATRIM!"

Mitsukai stared in surprise at the woman before her. Her feline eyes glowing in the dim moonlight as she gawked at Sara.

How the hell did she get up here so quickly without going up the stairs? Did she climb the wall or something?

She tossed that thought aside for the time being. Now was not the time to be wondering such things, she had a job to do. Besides it was not like Sara had bizarre gecko-like powers right?

"I'm guessing Matrim is on his way then?" she said now going back into focus. "Sorry to bug you both at this hour but I needed to talk to you two about something important and the fewer ears around to hear it the better."

[Sara Gallagher]

"I'm guessing Matrim is on his way then?"

"What?" Sara took a moment, pausing in her little victory dance to glance over at Mitsukai. "Oh ya, he'll be here in a sec. I hope this is good, my shows were on." She crossed her arms over her chest and leaned back against the roof ledge. She pulled the makeshift ninja mask off her head and ran a hand through her hair, untangling it.

"Sorry to bug you both at this hour but I needed to talk to you two about something important and the fewer ears around to hear it the better."

"It's cool. We told you that you could call us if you ever needed anything." She gave Mitsukai an encouraging smile. She was always more then willing to help the girl along. "We'll wait for Matrim to show up before we start this." She tapped her feet awkwardly, humming to herself. "So how have you beeeeen~? Get any stronger yet?" Sara sent her the smallest of smirks, daring her.

The smirk turned into a smile as she heard someone coming up the stairs to the roof. Dramatically, Sara jumped back to attention, pointing at the door as she waited for Matrim. The moment he came through it, she would start to laugh and mock him. "Haha! I win! You ain't got nothing on me boy~!"

[Matrim Gallagher]

As Matrim opened the door he crashed down face first into the floor letting out a sigh of exhaustion from having ran as fast as he could to try and compete with Sara, "Haha! I win! You ain't got nothing on me boy~!"

"You.... cheated..." He said and then pushed himself off, feeling slightly more exhausted after doing so and regretting ever crashing down to the ground in the first place. As he dusted off his hands and brushed away the junk on his chest from falling he approached the two, placing his hands in his pockets, "Alright, so what's this about?"

He was very quick to the point since he had recently been told he was going to have to kill someone. By that person no less, so whatever Mitsukai had to say, well it sounded important given the delivery place and time.

Good to see she's not out to kill me, or at least she doesn't seem like it yet.

His eyes went back and forth between the two as he waited for an answer.

[Mitsukai]

At least Sara didn't seem to mind the interruption judging from her reaction. That was at least good, in her opinion anyway.

"So how have you beeeeen~? Get any stronger yet?"

Mitsukai returned Sara's smirks with one of her own.

"Maybe you should test me out to see for yourself." She teased accepting the little challenge. It had been awhile since the two girls last faced each other and Mitsukai HAD become stronger in that time. It was about time the sparred again, just for old times sake. Things had become rather dull when all she did was fight with Kevala and Gabriel. Being swept up in the endless drama between that pair. She needed to go back with her original teachers.

Speaking of which....

Mitsukai watched as Matrim finally made his entrance, a twinge of guilt running through her mind seeing him once again. The last time they had 'met' Matrim had not seen her but her alter ego Nami, and of course the psychopath had made it clear her intentions to kill the man. Mitsukai had heard it, she was not in control of her body at the time but she heard it. Apart of her wanted to apologize right then and there for that incident. Mitsukai had a lot of respect for Matrim and was rather pissed off at what her alter ego had done, she wanted to own up to it but that would have to wait till later. Right now she needed to get this over with.

"Alright, so what's this about?"

Straight to the point huh?

"I bumped into Victor yesterday." She began, Mitsukai did not know how else to say this so she decided to tell them exactly what happened, knowing the words would come to her naturally to get the question out. "He says he wants to help make this school a better place. To help rebuild the school, restore the respect of the pillarship, and to eliminate any possible threats to the school."

"And he needs our help in order to do that."

((OOC: Sorry if the ending there seems kinda lame I just had a really random moment of writers block just now ><))

[Sara Gallagher]

"I bumped into Victor yesterday."

"Mhm...?" Who was Victor? Sara tried to think back, see if she could remember anyone by that name, but only one person immediately came to mind. She thought it might possibly be the kid she had met in the music room that one time. They had fought, but she couldn't remember if he said his name was Victor. Or if he had said his name at all for that matter... Man, she really needed to get to know the students. She bet Matrim could remember their names... She shot him a glare.

"He says he wants to help make this school a better place. To help rebuild the school, restore the respect of the pillarship, and to eliminate any possible threats to the school. And he needs our help in order to do that."

The pillars had no respect? o____O Oh man, she really needed to get out there and learn this stuff... She always wondered if a chunk of the school had been destroyed when she hadn't been looking, but then decided it was probably just a figure of speech. She nodded. It sounded pretty good so long as this Victor kid didn't have any ulterior motive. "I see... And just what does he need our help with? What does he want us to do? That's a lot of crap to try to accomplish, does he even have a plan of action?" She tilted her head to the side, wondering if Mitsukai might just be a little off in her opinion about this guy.

[Matrim Gallagher]

"He says he wants to help make this school a better place. To help rebuild the school, restore the respect of the pillarship, and to eliminate any possible threats to the school. And he needs our help in order to do that."

"Mhm...?"

That's a lot of talk, not a lot of action. He was a Black Knight, but he's a good man. And he's got a Qi that could defeat mine... he's one of the few capable of extinguishing my flame...

"I see... And just what does he need our help with? What does he want us to do? That's a lot of crap to try to accomplish, does he even have a plan of action?"

"She has a point," He said, "You can't really make people think something. I mean, you can try, but it takes a lot to change peoples minds. I could rule with an fire clad fist of fury and get respect, but I'm not sure that's such a great idea. I'd like to know more about what the former knight is thinking. But I'm definitely all ears."

He looked at Sara, wondering if she remembered Victor from 42. She should, Matrim knew he did. "He was there that day Gabriel challenged me at 42," He said to Sara, "You should remember him I'm guessing. In any case, why doesn't Victor come to us himself? Or has he not considered it? He has my info." He truly did wonder why Victor didn't come to him.

[Mitsukai]

"I see... And just what does he need our help with? What does he want us to do? That's a lot of crap to try to accomplish, does he even have a plan of action?"

"I am sure he has some sort of plan but we did not have much time to discuss it in more detail. That and he also wanted to disscuss this with the three of us first before we made a decision." she answered. That was basically how she understood it anyway, they could not discuss his ideas in much detail in public. It was too risky to do so if they were over heard.

"She has a point," "You can't really make people think something. I mean, you can try, but it takes a lot to change peoples minds. I could rule with an fire clad fist of fury and get respect, but I'm not sure that's such a great idea. I'd like to know more about what the former knight is thinking. But I'm definitely all ears."

She nodded her head in understanding.

"I know, from what he tells me he does not intend to use force. But if he changes his mind I am going to put a stop to that." Sure Mitsukai didn't mind helping him but she was no idiot. There was plenty of people who at first mean well by using their power and influence but in the end lost sight of that goal. There was a chance that Victor could end up the same way, she had to be careful of that.

"He did however tell me what he was planning to do first. In order to reach his goal his first task is to eliminate the most dangerous threat to this school. That person is Gabriel Seran..."

[Sara Gallagher]

"I know, from what he tells me he does not intend to use force. But if he changes his mind I am going to put a stop to that."

Sara nodded approvingly.

... She was such a hypocrite XD Sara would have loved to use force on the little brats of this school, but Matrim was pretty clear that she had to keep it on the down low~ So instead, she nodded as though no force was the greatest idea on earth.

"He did however tell me what he was planning to do first. In order to reach his goal his first task is to eliminate the most dangerous threat to this school. That person is Gabriel Seran..."

Sara did her best to keep the shock under control. Her first thought was 'conspiracy', but she quickly shook her head, throwing the idea out. It was odd though that something like this would come up just after hers and Matrims meeting with the very man in question.

Her gaze flicked to Matrim as she chewed the inside of her cheek. Man, she wished the two of them could like... communicate telepathically. Wouldn't that be so much easier? "So it's ok to use force against Gabriel then?" She shrugged, a smile on her face, wondering how Matrim was going to play this and hoping she was keeping to what he wanted. "Count me in, in that case."

This could work. This could easily work. She and Matrim could take out Gabriel, take the glory for it, and everyone would believe they'd saved the school, meanwhile, they were doing what had already been asked of them. It sort of worked out nice.

[Matrim Gallagher]

"...That person is Gabriel Seran..."

Well, I'm sold.

Matrim thought about it and he couldn't help but let out a small laugh. He thought about it, Victor and Gabriel were friends. Gabriel didn't want to die, nobody wanted to truly die. So either Victor was in on some plan, or they all were. Either Matrim was being played, or he was going to play Mitsu, possibly Mitsu and Victor.

So did he tell her what Gabriel had told him? No, if she was settled on killing Gabriel, then she'd make it happen somehow. She was pretty cut throat, and she had it in her to kill someone. So it was probably best to go with Gabriel's plan whatever it may be.

"So it's ok to use force against Gabriel then? Count me in, in that case."

"Eliminating Gabriel huh?" Matrim asked, "I guess I can see where me and Sara are supposed to come in. Since I don't think any of you have the strength necessary to do it, no offense.... Even David Blaze wasn't able to do it. So I guess that'll probably be our job hun. We'll do it together, it's the only way we can make sure."

He thought about it and added, "Do you know when Victor wants to put this in motion?"

[Mitsukai]

Well this is working out quite well... she mused when she heard their responses. It would be much easier to bring down Gabriel with Matrim and Sara's help in doing so. God knew she could not do it alone or she would have done so ages ago.

Yes it is going well...but don't forget that things aren't always as they seemed. her darker half warned her.

Yeah, I am not going to forget about that. Mitsukai knew of the relationship that Victor had with Gabriel before all of this. That alone raised some suspicions but even then she still agreed. The way she saw it Gabriel was a threat in many ways but she had no way of dealing with him herself. Victor claimed he had the same goal in mind but she could never know if that would change. If he did turn on her then she'd kill both him and Gabriel.

"Do you know when Victor wants to put this in motion?"

"Thats what he'd like to discuss with all of us later. Since you both are interested I will schedule a meeting so we can go through this in better details. See if this really is worth our time. I'll call you then when everything is set up."

[Sara Gallagher]

"I'll call you then when everything is set up."

"Sounds good." Sara smiled happily as she glanced between the two. Really though, she had been called out here, taken the time to dress up as a ninja, missed her wedding shows and politely talked for how long? Ok, so maybe not that long, but there was a problem when she went through all that and got no action. It was like going on a 24 hour date without a roll in the hay.

And that wasn't going to happen tonight ^_____^

"So as long as everything is good, we can move onto new business." Sara stepped away from the ledge of the roof, making a motion with her hands towards Matrim. A booming noise sounded through the area, the faint green wind flowing gently just above her skin as she activated her qi and tried to burst Matrim off the roof. No way was he getting in on her action.

Once that was done, Sara turned to Mitsukai, a mischievous smile on her face as she dramatically dusted off her hands. "Let's see what you've learned." Sara suddenly closed the distance between her and Mitsukai, throwing a right hook for the left side of the girls face, using the momentum so that whether or not it hit, Sara would be able to bring her arm back to slam her right elbow into the right side of her face.

"Thats what he'd like to discuss with all of us later. Since you both are interested I will schedule a meeting so we can go through this in better details. See if this really is worth our time. I'll call you then when everything is set up."

"So as long as everything is good, we can move onto new business."

And then she did a quick... oh fuck.

Oh fuck...

"Oh fuck..." Matrim said as he was bursted back, he struggled to keep up right, his feet digging into ground as he flew back, breaking the ledge and slipping over. His hands came up and grabbed onto the edge. He pulled himself up slightly to say, "Fly you fools!" and with that Lord of the Rings quote out of the way he fell.

Game Over Matrim.

Once he hit ground, luckily it was soft grass as opposed to any sort of paved walkway, he got up. Standing up he took off his coat, pulling a metallic quarterstaff from seemingly nowhere, a second set of arms appearing under the originals, cracking their knuckles as he slowly made his way to the stairs......

=_= Vengeance would be had.
