Recruiting (Open)

[Mr. Kaar]

Leon was one thing, but even he wouldn't be able to stand alone in the upcoming conflict.

-Three Days Ago-

"Kyle, what the hell happened to you?"

In the Supervisors office Leon was standing over a bloodied and battered individual who had been spying on Barker's operation.

"They found out... Ack! They turned quicker than I could react."

Leon wasn't liking this, Kyle was the last spy he had working in Barker's group. He leaned his head back adjusting his shades.

"At least you got out..."

Leon would nod to the nurse who was treating his wounds and would head out the door into the school to check things out and cool off.

-Present Day-

Leon was watching the small scuffles, the little battles over territory within the school. There was a plethura of fighters, but everyone had their own ideals, and convincing them to help the school would not be easy. Esspecially because Leon's people kills where out the window without the help of his gloves. This would have to be played by ear.

OOC: Since location and time isn't set up... 'gonna take a few liberties to play this out if you don't mind. If you do, lemme do and I'll edit.

Belated Welcome To The New Regime

There was one thing that "Unfettered" had yet to do on his already long checklist. While going through the list of known "notable" persons at 259, the German had yet to do any full-fledged investigation onto the switch of 259's Supervisor from the long-standing Mr. Asiv to (of all people) Leon Sudeki. The awakened Lightning Dragon of the Sudeki Clan was the Supervisor of Public High School #259.

To the point that it was redundant, the German still had trouble visualizing this change of power. "Unfettered's" old loyalties lay asunder from his own personal inactivity. The S.H.C.P., so far as the young man knew, was in tatters. Once more there was an absence of a Student Captain... and once more 259 laid still in a perpetuation of stagnated progress.

"Unfettered's" plans were close to fruition. He just needed a little bit more time. He just needed... a little bit of help. But he would need a few bargaining chips. So, his early morning training, Tai and Dora off at work, Green and Marina in their classes or socializing with their clubs... "Unfettered" took a moment to revisit an old, but common area.

Funny.

There was Leon, standing there in all his aged, gruff glory. An older man with still all the spry of a Lightning Dragon, surveying the many disputes that were taking place. The sun was high and lunch was about to start...

Approaching from the right side in blue jeans and a white t-shirt, the German's hair was bundled up into a ponytail. The Nazi eye-patch was brazenly planted over his left eye-socket. And the matching, "mysterious" smile was on his complete with a striking eye.

"Hallo."

Hands casually stuffed into his pockets as "Unfettered" looked out into the courtyard, sun getting into his eye and making him squint.

"It'z a bit late, but... congratulations on ze job."

...Still smiling, but a hint of uncertainty fluctuating into his voice...

"...Vat happened to Mr. Asiv?"

[Mr. Kaar]

As Leon leaned wit his right soulder against a wall he watched the one who had awakened the Dragon within him approach, a greeting... He remembered the last time he had been greeted by this young man. Of course there was more fire, and it was much louder, still having bumped into him again brought that aggresion of his to the surface... Leon stll faught to control his own actions, feelings of destruction filled him as he though on the guys question.

"From what I know... Mr. Asiv was attacked in his office, I was on a mission and John Ong was kept at bay by The Seer. It's being investigated as to who did it, but even now Mr. Asiv's condition is critical."

Leon watched in the distance as a I push you, you push me scuffle was going on, it was more like a heated arguement than a fight. Keeping his shades in mind he made sure his face was aimed at "Unfettered" whil his eyes traced the surrounding and the guy's body language. He was always so different mentally than physically, as if his actions where a direct contrast to his mind. A genious ploy to keep people guessing.

"Mr. Ong has passionately taken up the investigation, while I focus on... Other issues."

"From what I know... Mr. Asiv was attacked in his office, I was on a mission and John Ong was kept at bay by The Seer. It's being investigated as to who did it, but even now Mr. Asiv's condition is critical."

"Hm."

Furrowing his brows, the German finally took his left hand to provide shade for his eye, as he continued to watch the subtleties to Leon's persona. Rather, Supervisor Sudeki. From "Unfettered's" perspective, he had yet to detect any form of malice or subterfuge intent. As to the question at hand...

"Mr. Ong has passionately taken up the investigation, while I focus on... Other issues."

"Mm."

Looking to the side, "Unfettered" watched as one of the scuffles came to a sudden end with a well-timed uppercut.

...

"Two years ago, I vould have been distraught und surprised upon hearing zis news."

Solemnly, he looked back over to Leon, the curious smile fading. The instability of power had only increased since the fall of Mitsuki Park. Positions of power were easily and readily replaced before the titles of a Pillar meant next to nothing. However, two years ago, the German wouldn't be attempting what he was as of just now. That did not mean that something extra wasn't triggered inside "Unfettered," hearing of his old leader's predicament. A supervisor, at least, retained some degree of sacred acknowledgment at 259 yet.

"You reveal to me ze subterfuge und once more as to how little Ich know," making reference to the hospital, as he looked at ended scuffle. Well, supposedly ended scuffle. The "knocked out" boy had just gotten back up and was going for a second round, a second wind.

"259ers have limited knowledge as to these 'missions,' who zis 'Seer' is and to which organization he belongs to or to the fact zat of how deeply you und Mr. Ong have been involved..."

Suddenly narrowing his eye, the German removed the cover of shade from his face, looking at Leon Sudeki outright now, his entire body facing him. "Unfettered's" calmly agitated face pressed at the Lightning Dragon's from a distance, asking---demanding an explanation.

"Unfettered's" left hand had slipped into his back-pocket and pulled out his cellphone, quietly pressing the audio's "record" button.

...Any thoughts towards a friendly little visit to catch-up had faded.

[Mr. Kaar]

Leon looked to the cell phone from under his sunglasses, and then back to the fight. Reaching into his pocket he would pull out a box of pockey and flick it open to grab a stick, placing it in his mouth he would offer one to Unfettered. efore utting the box back in his pocket, apparently he wanted more in depth answers. His implied questions where at the very least obviouse.

"I'm going to er you weather or not I like the answer to this question, but just to make sure, what are you going t do with this information?"

Leon would wait for an answer, or whatever, once he finished answering the qustion Leon would munch on the pockey then begin his explanation as he watched the fight insue.

"Missions where dcided by Mr. Asiv by priority. Recently all the activity by the experament groups got him curious, o he sent me t investigate, being an expirament myself it was the best option. What I discovered was certain groups, one calling themselves 'The Immortals'. They had discovered a new lab run by our old friend... Sean Barker. After helping them assault the lab I returned to find Asiv in the hospital."

Leon would munch more on the pockey stick or he next segment about The Seer.

"From what I understand The Seer, John Strife is a childhood friend of Asiv's. Only problem there is he hasn;t aged a single day from the pictures Zack showed me. Above that he can see flashes distorted information of the future, heavily metaphoric predictions, but they all come true. He has apparently been helping Asiv since the destruction of the Correctional Facility."

And then the last bit of information asked for would come as Leon finished off the stick of pockey.

"John Ong volunteered himself to be an expirament, for Asiv. Asiv's expiraments where more humane and based heavily of herbology instead of harmful addictive chemicles. Above this Mr. Ong was Asiv's personal body guard since Areon Fury went rogue. The force controlled by Asiv was The Seer, The Raging Flame, The Wind and Lightning Dragons, and has dwindled down to just The Raging Flame and The Lightning Dragon. We can count on the Dean but with the war against the enforcer corperations on top of the unnown factor of alot of expiraments his daily work takes up all his recources."

Leon wold remove his shades to look at Unfettered with those pale white hue's, the offset streaks of sapphire in the iris, this was a seriouse matter.

"All of this is why I am currently looking for help, recruiting more power to this faction, so everyone else can stay naive to the danger while Barker is destroyed once and for all."

["Unfettered"]

OOC: Please pardon the huge recap of your quotes in this post. This is for "Unfettered's" sake as well as my own to absorb the information properly.

Great Reveals
-Staying The Strategy-

For a moment, "Unfettered" believed that Leon had taken up smoking---a possibility of no importance, just an amusing little side bit. As it turned out, the little carton that Leon pulled out was a box of Pocky's. Offered up, "Unfettered" smiled accepting one with his free hand before slipping part of it into his mouth like a cigarette.

"I'm going to er you weather or not I like the answer to this question, but just to make sure, what are you going t do with this information?"

Smile.

Theme Song: Blockade from Ace Combat 4: Shattered Skies

His right arm shot out at a high angle from his shoulder, right hand completely flattened as his feet squared away at a ninety degree angle. A *click* was heard as his heels snapped towards each other. His left hand gripped his cellphone in a balled up fist in a very symbolic salute to the area where the clock tower was/used to be---

"HEIL ASIV!
HEIL PHS #259"

The pocky would snap from the sudden gnashing of his teeth, crumbs scattering all about. Red flashed across his remaining eye, if only for a moment. "Unfettered's" sudden movement made for a second turn, this time into a return to his more casual stance. And so too did his casual smile return---with a hint of added brevity.

"All I do is for 259's sake. I vill do vat I hope is most appropriate, based on vat you tell me.~"

"Unfettered" considered Leon's reaction as much as it was returned in kind, but the stubborn belligerance (or self-to-over confidence about the German as it may be) remained. There was no point in hiding his intentions to a man who could sabatoge everything at his own musings, mastery over electricity as it were. The cellphone was prompted upwards, between the two of them, silent listeners betraying themselves only with the furious scribbling and typing on their end. For the German himself, all the fights in the courtyard could have stopped for all he knew---his attention was completely focused on Leon Sudeki... Lightning Dragon, Supervisor.

"Missions where dcided by Mr. Asiv by priority. Recently all the activity by the experament groups got him curious, o he sent me t investigate, being an expirament myself it was the best option. What I discovered was certain groups, one calling themselves 'The Immortals'. They had discovered a new lab run by our old friend... Sean Barker. After helping them assault the lab I returned to find Asiv in the hospital."

"From what I understand The Seer, John Strife is a childhood friend of Asiv's. Only problem there is he hasn;t aged a single day from the pictures Zack showed me. Above that he can see flashes distorted information of the future, heavily metaphoric predictions, but they all come true. He has apparently been helping Asiv since the destruction of the Correctional Facility."

"John Ong volunteered himself to be an expirament, for Asiv. Asiv's expiraments where more humane and based heavily of herbology instead of harmful addictive chemicles. Above this Mr. Ong was Asiv's personal body guard since Areon Fury went rogue.

We can count on the Dean but with the war against the enforcer corperations on top of the unnown factor of alot of expiraments his daily work takes up all his recources."

"All of this is why I am currently looking for help, recruiting more power to this faction, so everyone else can stay naive to the danger while Barker is destroyed once and for all."

To anyone else, it may have appeared that Leon Sudeki was talking to a statue of a man. But behind the face of the German his eye glinted, his ears were twitching, veins coursed at an accelerated rate---his breathing was the only calm constant. For a few seconds longer after Leon had said his piece, the cellphone would continue to clutter itself with its furious scribblings, people---namely Marina and Green---making sure to record with accuracy the prime points.

SPOILER: Click to show

-Mr. Asiv was in a position to assign missions. This denoted the hidden power and influence that Supervisors had. This only affirmed that 259 was indeed not just a school, but a self-propagating "Organization."

-Leon Sudeki, confirmed former/ongoing Experiment.

-Escaped Experiments from the Correctional Facility incident have not integrated into normal society at large. This is supported by Leon's statement on the apparent "The Immortals" organization.

-"The Immortals" have already issued a campaign and destroyed a new lab by the now infamous Sean Barker with the help of Leon Sudeki.

-"The Immortals" can be primed as a potential "friendly" organization to the 259 organization, if at least to fellow experiments. Details are unclear, but Leon's stance with "The Immortals" leaves room for optimism. Room for "The Immortals" to still be a threat.

-With the unseen but still pervasive influence of Sean Barker, it would be easy to assume that he possess the funds for multiple labs.

-The "Seer" is John Strife, childhood friend to Asiv---Asiv has a ridiculously mysterious past with an interesting slew of associates.

-John Strife is an apparent ally to Mr. Asiv, providing aid post-C.F. incident.

-Possesses... "Seer"-like abilities.

-John Ong, volunteer experiment to Mr. Asiv. Confirmed ally. Former personal bodyguard to Mr. Asiv.

-Areon Fury, unknown factor, "went rogue." Further details needed as to the position Areon Fury held. Can be considered as a potential non-factor to hostile-factor.

-Mr. Asiv's apparent force of utility consisted of The Seer (John Strife), The Raging Flame (John Ong[?]), Wind Dragon (Unknown), and Lightning Dragon (Leon Sudeki).

-The now defunct Mr. Asiv's remaining force has shot down to "The Raging Flame" (Assumedly John Ong) and "Lightning Dragon" (Leon Sudeki). No details on disappearances of "The Seer" (John Strife) or the Wind Dragon (Inferred to be Areon Fury[?]).

-The Student Dean is apparently engaging in other, outsourced actions against apparent Enforcer Corporations. More details needed. Apparently dealing with his own warfront, might be considered a non-factor ally.

-Leon Sudeki's 1st named goal is seeking aid. Coincides with current personal agendas. Workable.

-Leon Sudeki's 2nd named goal is recruiting more power to his "faction." The labeling and understanding that his 2-party faction is a "faction" within the 259 organization is highly complementary to current personal agendas. Workable.

-Leon Sudeki's 3rd named goal is to keep the hidden wars hidden and out of public view. Workable.

-Leon Sudeki's end goal is Sean Barker's destruction with the three above goals as prerequisites. Workable guarantee.

---Of course, these points wouldn't be jotted down and understood until later tonight when "Unfettered" went to confer with the others of his group, but... the German's smile was huge. Very huge. He hadn't felt this happy in a long time. Quietly, the German turned to Leon.

"...I vould like to formerly offer my assistance, provided more briefing on ze situation is provided further down ze road. However, I have my own intentions in mind that would coincide with you as vell as Public High School #259.~"

Gently, his right hand reached into his pocket for a slip of paper and a pen.

"Interested?"

[Mr. Kaar]

Leon was a little off set by the smile on the young man's face, but then again, alot of things about this boy were still... Unnatural to Leon. Yet again, thats what he liked about the kid. When he pulled out the pen and paper... Leon was uncertain. Yet allie's are the goal.

"I'm interested. I'm going to gather what I can and by the end of the month, I'll have a meeting for everyone to attend. I wouldn't mind hearing your proposition."

Leon would stand up from leaning against the wall. It was his nagotiation instincts kicking in now to be attendant and respective. Pulling his sunglasses from his face so he could look Unfettered in the eyes while they discussed business. Though the fact his eyes had been changed from the years of over use of his Qi. The white iris, with the streaks of dark blue, even the pupil had lost pigment and was more grey than black.

[David B.]

OOC:((Hope you don't mind me dropping in.))

IC:

"As would i."

David stepped up behind "Unfettered", his hands in his pockets. The young student had gone through quite the rough time in recent days- having postponed his graduation until the end of the current school year, he was in fact simply "hanging" around the campus. He felt as though there was a strange, translucent calm hovering over the place. Sure, there were a few fights breaking here and there as could be seen, but in comparison to when he first started at 259, things were dead calm. He didnt like it. Felt like a deep breath held to ease the blow of a punch straight to the gut. Unfettered was a man who interested him in many facets, mostly because he seemed to have a slight disdain for David, as did many others.

Acceptable, he supposed. David knew his own methods of organization, or control were now out-dated, but if anyone were able to change that in him, it would be John and the Lightning Dragon. He wore a casual class suit, worn generally by those seniors smart enough to realize that life didn't hand you everything, even if you had the money to pay for it. He would crisp the corner of his mouth into a small smile. He would wait for one of them to say or ask something. He had nothing more to say- what other offer of support could he give besides that he was interested.

An interest from the Blaze was nearly as good as an outright commitment. He wanted a "why would you help?" question asked.

For once, he had a legitimate answer to that question.

["Unfettered"]

Tying Everything Together
~"Oh Good, He Came."~

Henceforth, the fighting over in the courtyard became nothing more then background noise as it became apparent that the "big boy" talk was beginning. As a final note of respect to the fighters, particularly the original duo who were now wrestling on the ground, trying to tear each other's throats out, the German would give them a short nod as if to say, "from here, my focus is no longer with you."

With that, the German turned to Leon who pulled on sunglasses. His attention otherwise garnered, "Unfettered" didn't realize that the man's eyes had... changed, or perhaps more accurately... "faded" in hue. It would have been a sobering moment.

"I'm interested. I'm going to gather what I can and by the end of the month, I'll have a meeting for everyone to attend. I wouldn't mind hearing your proposition."

"Very well," the German nodded, smiling---

"As would i."

The voice came from behind, but the German would take his time in acknowledging it. Forcing himself to fight down the feeling of a back-attack, "Unfettered" rationalized with himself in the next six seconds as he collected himself, before pivoting slightly and stepping backwards to make for a circle to face both Leon (who was now leaning against the building) and... the apparent David Blaze.

"Vell, look who is here.~"

Instantly, the smile grew wicked and "Unfettered's" hand shot back into his pocket, pulling out a second piece of paper and pen. He would not continue until he effectively forced a copy of the survey in both Leon's and David's hands, along with a pen.

"You are not getting avay zis time. 'Wouldn't be right' my ass---you've almost been going to 259 for almost as long as Ich have. You are overqualified to take zis survey, Mr. Blaze. Vat makes you so villing, zis time?"

Slowly shuffling from the van, Marina was carrying five planks of wood with her, intent on reaching "Unfettered's" position.

* * * * * * * * * * * * *

Quietly, the German would wait for the both of them to finish their surveys. When they finished, he'd take back the surveys and pens and fold them neatly before putting them back in his pocket. His smile would reach the reaction of one who was incredibly satisfied, having shared a taste of what he intended with the questions asked in the surveys. Hanging his hands in his pockets by the thumbs, the German would lean back to erect himself and nod at the both of them.

"Ich vill provide you, Leon, with strong candidates that you can judge for yourself. Ich vill draw them to you can sort the wheat from the chaff. In turn... Ich have a state governor to convince, a criminal case to settle, und at least one criminal organization Ich need to cut ties vith."

"Ich need legal leverage, Leon."

"Evidence that the government has been involved to some degree vith Sean Barker in the for und against situations. Evidence, documents, records that the government supported many of these "Experimental Laboratories" under ze guise of "Correctional Facilities" as Ich suspect, und Ich may be able to bring enough leverage to begin bargaining:"

"259-state recognition as a partially self-governing, self-policing entity."

"As you may or may not find as a similarity in your standings vith ze police, the general consensus thus far notes that ze police is largely ineffectual, typically coming in only at the last second und typically only when casualties have occurred from one or both sides. They are slow und inefficient. 259 in turn has been constantly attacked und has even launched prepared attacks on opposing organizations that threaten its livelihood---typically soldiered vith ze students themselves."

"Ze students of 259 should not be marred as vigilantes... but rather be recognized und further organized. Ze Student Hierarchy too no longer accommodates for our large student body und cannot effectively protect or maintain order as they ver originally created to do."

"It iz zis lack of order vith vich Ich want to do away with the flawed Student Hierarchy system und put in its place a full-fledged series of 'Factions'---formerly termed as 'Gangs,' 'Factions' here at 259 have been prototyped even by Mr. Asiv himself by pitting ze effectiveness of ze S.H.C.P. (School Hall Correction Police) vs. ze Student Hierarchy 'Pillars.' Factions have been on ze rise but have been primarily illegal in most situations. By legitimizing them by public recognition, we can have ze government establish further order with prerequisites und recognize these Factions as internalized political parties with 'Corporal Punishment' rights."

"Lastly... I vish to have established by ze faculty of 259 ze right to a 'voluntary tax'---merely to say that those who are villing to pay ze tax can. This will allow 259 to begin self-funding itself and provide more money for ze constant repairs... possibly further allowing us better training, better education, und better facilities."

Many things to argue for... but the German's smile didn't stop there.

"Ze arguing point is crucial. This is ver I need mass support und written documents of several hundred people who live, go to, or live around 259---by filling out ze surveys und providing live video of athleticism as vell as fights that go around 259... ve can show ze government und ze public ze type of people zat 259 is raising.~"

"259ers have a highly observed chance to exceed normal natural human potential und has a draw for those with specialized training in various fighting, technical, und academic skills. Our speed tends to given weighted U.S. soldiers a run for their money, most students can punch through concrete walls, und if everyone here wasn't so busy fighting, ze overall GPA could potentially be ze highest in ze country."

"259 is raising and rearing talented new people into society for society's extreme benefit. Zis is a special school... but it is not ze only one. All public und private schools that allow corporal punishment tend to place witness to Qi."

Long speech. Yawning himself and opening and closing his mouth for a moment, the German sleepily blinked his eye before waking himself more thoroughly. Looking at Leon, he gave a final nod.

"Provide me vith ze resources ve need to accomplish ze aforementioned und ve vill no longer have need to hide from ze media (as much). In the time given, I shall attempt to restructure 259's political und pillar system from ze inside out for purpose-specific factions, establish a voluntary compact for a 'Militia'-based... militia system for ze school factions, und gain acknowledgment from ze governor of California---while providing you vith as many "candidates" to choose und train as I can muster."

Deft hands would run across the survey as he listened to Winters... Unfettered speak. Finishing the survey he would hand it back, and wait for his chance to speak... It was rather interesting now to see what was behind the mask, the guise, the persona this boy had. Yet, it was all alittle familier for how many years now Leon had witnessed people trying to force reforms on the school system, scool riots, faction wars, deaths and mutilating injuries, for what?

~Exactly. A better future.~

Leon thought a little while on the subject. Leon knew Asiv had trusted this kid... Both personalities when they where seperate and Unfettered himself when they finally joined. So Leon would smile, for hose who have never seen him genuinely smile they would probably be a ittle offset, he had only done it in a happy situation TWICE before. So this would make it three times. Leon would reach out and put a hand on Unfettered's shoulder.

"If you go to my office you'll meet a boy named Rycou. He's one of the expiraments that I found and helped out, tell him I sent you and you need into the secret office, there you should find the help you need."

Leon would let go of the shoulder and look to the clock tower.

"I'm no longer strong enough to control the entire school, and if I push too far my heart will fail, but if I can prepare enough people for whats to come, then its worth dieing for. Sean Barker is insane, and now is no time for these ambitious and fickle kids to be seperated over pety disagreements anymore. When Barke makes his move I gaurntee you only Blaze here, and a few others I have hadmy eye on will stand chance. Blaze was right on a few things, and training his body and mnd without the use of weapons or other aiding items was a good idea. Because if Mitsoumi is still with him, and I'm sure he is... All of that, even Qi, will be useless."

Leon's eyes began to show something else, not fear, more worry or concern.

"Mitsoumi is a monster, I faught him once while being expiramented on in that facility... I didn't even land a single hit."
