Sector Seven Arrives

------------->From Sector Seven Gates.

-----------------------------------------------------------

suddenly Lambda, Kageo, and Noel all appeared from the transporter with ease, it appeared that the transporter didn't malfunction like the time when Lambda was ordered to kill Terumi. As Lamba looked around she began scanning her surroundings and realized they successfully landed in Kazamotsu. "Accessing Data Base Protocol....Loading.....Loading....Loading...Loading complete, due to the long distance Lambda's transporter will take quit a bit of time to load back up again sorry for my inconvenience to you all." Despite able to talk freely it was always a habit from Lambda to talk in that emotionless robot voice since she spent so long talking like that when her memories were suppressed. She floated off the ground striding to the front a few inches and turned back to the two Kageo and Noel. "So......Where should we start our search for this....Plasma using assailant?" Lambda was bad at giving directions Kokonoe always just told her where to go and uploaded directions into the map in her visor and Data Base.

As Kageo looked to their surroundings and spotted all of the things around, the changes with which had come with the sudden warp, once the kaka had gotten his bearings, his eyes looked around. Trying to discern something different within the surrounding environment. 'Executing Search: Command- Find Trace Plasma...accessing.' As the modified Kaka awaited the results of the search of the immediate area, he looked to Noel to see that she was fine after the teleport, they were known to make others disoriented; himself included. Though he was able to adjust quickly due to the Artifice Cores' natural balancing system, his body giving off a knowing flicker of energy.

"Meow, alright Lambda-san, Noel-san; I am running the search for trace plasma, I believe we'll be able to find our assailant very soon. He cannot hide, we can deliver him to the professor! She can extract whatever information from him, why his attack happened and everything. Now...we must be carefully, since if this guy can hurt Alpha, you know that he's got some combat knowledge. Nihongo and I will be ready." his hand already on the spear, drawing it out with confidence; the kaka planted it at his side while the search continued...how annoyingly slow it was, but again after all the Artifice Core System was no computer; it was merely a balance made to help him live...an experiment that had been for power output. He kept that in mind while looking over things nearby.

Noel was teleported with the others. She was more and more reticent at the idea of fighting, but now it wasn't like she could go back. She first talked to herself: "The Professor will be in a really bad mood when I'll come back..." She snapped out of her thoughts with Kageo speaking, and added: "We can outrange him thanks to my guns, I guess. But Alpha is supposed to be a distance specialist...? We would do better staying safe from every single hit."

A silhouette was getting close to the Sector Seven agents.
It was a blonde-haired girl with a long white cloak and a crown with eight red tape seals on it around her forehead. A huge sword was some how attached to her back, showing what she was: one of the rare Murakumo unit.
That girl walked barefoot. And during her free time she walked around mindlessly. Until that day... "Two of my sisters! I've gone lucky this day!" The sixth Boundary Interface Prime Field Device was a weird one: she had a mind. No wonder why the NOL dropped her without awakening her.
Zeta, upon seeing Lambda and Noel (and totally ignoring Kageo by the way), rushed to the little group of Sector Seven. "Hello, sisters!" She looked more than only liking Noel and Lambda, totally ignoring Kageo in the process. "Would you like... playing with me?"
This sentence and her aspect mostly reminiscent of Mu-12 was a bad augury... but it sure didn't sound so.

As Lambda turned around she noticed her, a girl with blond hair the same as Noels and she was barefoot. She had an ominously looking humongous sword on her back and she noticed that the girl totally ignored Kageo and set her eyes on Lambda and Noel calling them her "Sisters"....Could she!? "Unidentified target confirmed...Loading Procedures......Loading.....Loading.....Loading...Loading completed. Identification requested. State yourself, who.....are....you?" Lambda was totally confused, who was this girl and why was she calling Lambda and Noel her sisters!? Something didn't seem right as Lambda awaited for the girl to tell the who she really was. In case if she was hostile Lambda already began charging energy from her Idea Engine in case of a fight about to start.

Kageo's attention snapped to her and as it seemed, his M.A.C. reacted to her presence. She was pretty skilled to get this close without a reaction to his senses, in that fact he drew Nihongo up in a defense stance, despite the fact he was ignored. His agenda was simple: protecting and assisting both of his comrade, the way this unit moved...yes he could see she was like Lambda, but she wasn't and that was what irked him. "...Nihongo.", the sealed weapon gave off a soft sound, something of a soft 'rung' sound, almost like a low hum as it activated. He would not waste words, for he knew they would not be heard; the Kaka had moved off somewhat and prepared to take action. Perhaps he wouldn't have to awaken it? He wasn't looking to use his greater strength so soon.

"Zeta's name is Ze...", answered the strange Murakumo with a big smile, but she interrupted. What is this strange feeling? She felt the energy inside Lambda. It was a very very powerful one, reminiscent of the Nox Nyctores. Zeta's eyes and face suddenly started to go blank. "Why are you... so cold... sister?", she said her eyes directed to Lambda. "Stop that, please... Or I... I..." She didn't finish her sentence. Her head bent down.
Her voice changed to a more robotic tone. "Mind program... ignored... Psychic lock... closed... Power limitations... 40%... Focusing on objective: scanning present Murakumo Units... λ-11 and µ-12..." Zeta's intentions were obvious now. As her blank blue eyes started analysing the Murakumos, she stood motionless, like asleep.

Lambda felt no hostility from this girl as she stated her name was....Zeta...the 6th Prime Subject!? How was she activated? Lambda was given Intel that Zeta was an even worse "failure" than Lambda herself and was never activated...How was she awake? Suddenly the happy little girl seemed to get scared and suddenly gained a more robotic voice. Lambda suddenly took a stance as her wing blades stretched out ready for an attack as she spoke in a robotic voice. "Target Identified as 6th Prime Field Subject number Zeta-6...Target deemed as hostile. Increasing threat level to....A...Now initializing the Idea Engine, battle protocol commencing." As Lambda charged more energy her voice changed back to the normal girl she was now that her memories were no longer suppressed as she turned to Noel and Kageo. Kageo....Take 12th Subject Mu away from the battle area and continue searching for the assailant.....I will deal with our Sister myself and I can't use my full power when comrades are nearby....Please....Go." Lambda slid to the side to where she was right in front of Kageo and Noel to make sure Zeta didn't lay a finger on them but she didn't attack, awaiting to see if Zeta would come to her senses but she didn't drop her guard.

Kageo heard her mention, she wanted them to disengage...though he had not desired to leave Lamba to this, it was true that they still had to find the assailant and bring him to justice. Against his better judgment, he put Nihongo back in its sheath along his back and took Noel into his arms. "As you wish Lambda-san, but Kageo shall return you hear? Be safe, Lambda-san." concern for a comrade of Sector Seven was not unheard of, but of course for the Kaka she was more like someone he felt a kinship with. While more along the lines of a 'cyborg' than himself, Lambda was still quite normal; he considered that bond and treated it as such: one of importance.

"Noel-san, please hold on, I have located the assailant, we are going ahead!" the kaka wasted little time in kicking off of the ground and taking off in a high leap; with his Artifice Core System awakened somewhat by Nihongo's initial activation, he was capable of this feat with great ease. He looked back over his shoulder, while watching Lambda and this Zeta unit one last time; before looking ahead and heading towards the area of focus.

(Exuent to 'Hunting a Murakumo) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~>

Noel was stunned when she heard the robotic little girl talk. "She was a Murakumo?" She had gone unsatisfied with the fact Zeta and even Lambda kept calling her Mu. she hated that name after she had been told what happened that time. She was about to get angry at both girls, but Kageo's call reminded her about her mission, and she followed Kageo, adressing Lambda some last words: "Lambda, we are counting on you. Try to bring her back to HQ as we will do with the other assailant." Then she was lifted in the air...

----------> (Exit to "Hunting a Murakumo")

Zeta was not laying a finger on the Sector Seven agents. She stood still, her blank face analysing Lambda's inner structure. "Creation of blueprint file... initiated..." Zeta's robotic words marked a pause as Lambda built her power and spoke of her intent to take Zeta on.
"µ-12 escaped... λ-11 hostile... Power limitation raised to 50%... Preparing self-defense systems: pattern Gamma." Zeta's sword dismantled in as she spread her arms and affixed themselves to different parts of her body. Two laser cannons went to her back and the two other were affixed to her thighs now, all pointing forward in case Lambda rushed. Four blades were left flying behind her, like all Murakumos had their swords levitate behind them.
"Defense systems running... continuing analysis..."
Besides her mouth, Zeta had not even moved.

Suddenly Lambda noticed that the strange sword on Zeta's back broke apart and gave her four laser cannons and four swords? Was this HER Murakumo System!? No...the sword looked like Lux Sanctus: Murakumo but it wasn't the real thing. Lambda identified it to be some type of Ars Armagus. Suddenly Lambda felt hostility from Zeta. "Target showing increasing hostility, power input at 50%....Switching to Battle Mode." Lambda suddenly formed a ball of energy in her hand as she pointed it at the ground, the ground surrounding them began to shake as the energy disappeared from her hand. "All systems go.." Lambda's Spike Chaser speared out from the ground in a straight path, the swords would follow, then skewer straight through Zeta, however Lambda made sure to make sure she was motionless if she was hit so she could be captured like Noel said. Maybe this Murakumo had some intel and maybe Kokonoe could even fix her mindset and make her one of there own.

When she saw Lambda decided to battle, Zeta was ready. Though her body didn't move, it elevated itself in mid-air to avoid the Spike Chaser attack.
"Battle mode initiated. Blueprint file creation priority decreased." Zeta landed, ready for battle. "Attack pattern Alpha engaged." The Murakumo no. 6 fused her sword back into itself from the different pieces it was dispatched in. She was rushing in the fray because that's the way Murakumos should be taken. "214 C" Zeta attacked with a simple overhead slash and her beam cannons showed out to unleash a short-ranged burst of energy upon impact of the sword on the ground. This was a mostly safe attack, but knowing Lambda's ability to attack at long range in a matter of fractions of a second, there sure could be a counter attack...
"Blueprint file creation... 3% done"

When Lambda saw her Spike Chaser attack miss Zeta came forth with her powerful sword. Lambda had to quickly avoid the damage so she put her wing blades in front of them and formed a shield with her swords, the sword slash was blocked and the energy burst was dispersed. As the attack ceased Lambda quickly fired her eight swords individually which would spear through Zeta eight times, then she would swing her blades in a downward arc to eviscerate her and send her a little bit flying. "Target is attacking while collecting data...Requesting information for reasoning of data obtaining."

When Zeta's attack was blocked, she shortly analysed Lambda's defense; but the counter-offensive came quickly so she didn't have any time to waste on analysing everything.
"[4-]" Zeta blocked all attacks directed at her with her sword used as a shield. That took a long time and slowed down the analysis. "Changing attack pattern: create new equipment mode... Attack pattern Lambda created..." Zeta's sword broke apart again, most of the sword's material armoring the legs while the blade separated itself into four swords levitating behind her. "Answering request... Collecting data to create blueprint file... Zeta's objective..." Zeta marked a pause. "Drive engaged: "6D 6D 6D 6D" Zeta's swords began to have a red glowing outline as she launched them straight forward to Lambda. Should the swords ever pass her, they would come back to Zeta after some time, attacking the other Murakumo from both sides. And Zeta's drive damaged over time, not limited to the slashes themselves.
"Blueprint file creation... 6% complete..."

Collecting data Why was Zeta collecting there battle data....who ordered Zeta to do this...Who even woke her from her sleep? Lambda had no time to think as Zeta fired four of her swords which gained an ominous red hue to them. Lambda quickly swiped her hands down activating her Gravity Seed technique which formed a portal in front of her that changed gravity to where objects including humans move slowly. The swords entered the circle and moved slow enough for Lambda to dodged. Lambda then moved to the side and swung around on the ground. "Opening Rift..." Suddenly a large, circular saw like blade began swirling along the ground behind Zeta that would slash her multiple times if she wasn't able to counter it in time. Despite this Lambda made sure to try and capture her ALIVE.

As Zeta hovered in mid-air again to block Lambda's attack, she suddenly received Jellal's brand new orders via telepathy. "New orders received... Gathering metabolic move data and capture target... Decreasing blueprint file creation priority... Loading alternate mind program... Power limitation raised to 60%..." She spent a time hovering like motionless, but eventually she was ready to fight again in a matter of seconds.
"Unveil yourself and return, goddess in disguise!", Zeta reached above with her right hand. As she pointed her hand to Lambda, a sword appeared out of a portal that formed right in front of her hand and went right to her as Zeta just descended back to the ground, ready for Lambda's reaction.

As her Sickle Storm technique was avoided by Zeta as she fired a sword straight at her face, Lambda instinctively dodged but got a small cut on her face, she didn't appear to take any pain as she simply fired two swords at Zeta. The fabric of space collapsed as two swords formed directly behind and would skewer through her chest if she was hit. After that Lambda began spinning rapidly while coming towards Zeta with high speed. Even if she blocked the swords Lambda's Act Parser: Cavalier would slam, and send Zeta flying a few inches away from her. "Damage received...Damage level....3%...Damage minimal....continuing assault on target."

(Note: What's written in italic is thought, not said.)

Zeta's simple attack proved almost pointless. She didn't want to scratch Lambda's face. As she was slightly bothered about that, she barely noticed the swords coming from behind and the two swords did visible scratches to her, despite their very little impact on Zeta's attention. She even smiled at her scars. She can even attack from behind without having to do anything besides choosing it... But this one was laughable...
Proof of it was the fact that Zeta blocked Lambda's Act Parser Cavalier and launched herself forward to attack Lambda with a sliding low kick followed by a weird-looking double kick, the second being an axe kick. Those attacks were not crippling or allowing for any sort of capture, but Zeta wanted to analyse Lambda's counters to kick attacks. Come, Unit Lambda No. 11!

As Zeta apparently took some damage it was remarkable that she blocked Lambda's Act PArser Cavalier then came up with counter attacks of her own. Lambda jumped with her knees up to avoid the low sweeping kick from Zeta and as she fired the odd double kick attack Lambda used her hands to grab the leg, using her strength to force the leg to stop moving thus cancelling the other kick. Lambda then lifted Zeta up in the air with her eight wing blades circling above her and around Zeta. All of the swords came forth to crush Zeta and break some of her bones and Lambda would toss the motionless body to the floor in case if she still had any tricks up her sleeve.

(OOC: I basically just blocked your kicks, then used Lambda 11's grab attack in the video games.)

As Zeta's kicks were blocked, Lambda lifted her in the air for another attack. However, Zeta broke out Lambda's throw: she did well to avoid an attack that could be that damaging to her body.
To avoid a big counterattack, she fired her sword to the ground while still going away from Lambda in mid-air. This was a maneuver to avoid Lambda going close to her without fear of Zeta attacking from two sides. She could call back the sword. "Now, Lambda. What do you want to do?" Zeta lifted her hand as all the pieces of Jinchi's original form (except the sword still in the ground) to reassemble the sword to its biggest form. Just with a one-sided blade instead of two. "The heaven I made my goal to create doesn't wait." Zeta tightened her grip on the huge sword as she said:"Time to leave this world of unending dark!" Zeta rushed in, having seemingly overdriven for a quick strike of that huge sword of hers on Lambda's face for a one-strike-KO attack.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~>(From 'Hunting a Murakumo')

Landing nearby the original spot he'd left, Kageo's eyes had moments to catch the sudden action: Zeta Unit's sword aimed for Lambda, covered in some bizarre aura. What kind of attack was this? Kageo didn't really care what kind of attack it was, in almost the instant he dropped Rho's body uncaringly to the floor, had he already done his best to put both he and the blade edge of the awakened Kagennotsuki out before him. "The Waning Moon's fatal cry! Hyaah!" the artifice resonance still surging through his body as the last minute of the resonance was reached; Kageo lashed out at Zeta's attack with a powerful thrust of his spear, backed by a heavy wave of Caeruleus energy charged in the blade.

He wasn't sure how well it would stop the move, but the wave that seemed to follow the kaka's desperation was bound to help even out the blow when they met. He had no intention of allowing Lambda to be harmed any further than she had since they'd been gone. Kageo just hoped this timely action was enough to stop the blow.

-----------------> (From "Hunting a Murakumo")
Noel was running as fast as her body could bear her. Kageo's reckless behaviour could have had their target wake up and flee, but hopefully, she reached it soon enough to lock it down, now only looking at the Murakumo Zeta's enormous weapon crushing on Kageo's spear, hoping her fellow agent would get away with it as easily as possible, getting Eyludr ready to fire in case her hopes were unfounded.

As she saw te gigantic sword coming for her head Lambda saw the shadow of Kageo appear in front of her as he blocked Zeta's giant sword. It appeared that even though her wounds were healed, the fight she had with Hakumen still had some strain on her body as she fell to her knees. She looked to see Noel with her Ars Armagus out and noticed a body on the ground, this was the intruder? "Allies inbound....Deactivating Battle protocol....now deactivating the Idea Engine....Physical damage only at 3%....Initializing Auto Repair System." As Lambda's battle energy disappeared the small cut on her face near instantly disappeared from her repairing systems. "Deactivating Repair System...damage level...0%"

(OOC: Jellal is not really in Kazamotsu he is back in the hideout at the 6th City talking to Zeta via tghere Telepathy Link.)

Way back in the 6th City underground Jellal still lay asleep in the hideout. But sleeping in a chair was really uncomfortable and Jellal woke up. As he opened his eyes he saw the outcome of Zeta's battle, it appeared she was having the upperhand against Lambda but those two other fighters that came with her returned and now it was going to be a one on three fight? Even for a might Murakumo Unit a Kaka and two other Murakumo Units would surely overpower her. But this also worked in Jellal's favor for the two Units were together.

"Zeta good job however it appears that the odds are against you, I want you to teleport back to me but first...I want you to stay for a moment and allow me to say something to them, I need you to tell them what exactly I'm about to tell you right now. Wait for them to come up with a reply and if they say no retreat immediately.

Jellal took an exhale to catch his breath for what he was about to say. [b]"Why hello KAka....Unit numbers 11 and 12. It' an honor to make my...."Aquaintence" with you. This is not Zeta speaking this is someone else, however I need to keep my name a secret right now so you can just call me....Seigrein. Before you all say anything it's correct, it was I who awoke Zeta from her slumber. I plan on destroying the NOL if you three want the same to happen...then join my side. I will not only grant you power but we can also destroy the monster known as the NOL together. Please make a choice yes...or no?" With that Jellal awaited for Zeta to say everything to them as he smiled looking onwards through his Telepathy with her.
