Stepping out from the shadows would come as mostly as a surprise...as it was but a young boy, a young, blond boy who was easily smaller than most of the people present here. But looks were deceiving, despite his appearance, despite the fact he had an innocent smile plastered on his face...a cold, malicious air was about him. Regardless, the young lad gave everyone a casual glance (though it was hard to tell, as his eyes seemed to always remain closed), just...measuring everyone. It was almost chilling, really, an innocent child just giving everyone a look that would likely feel as if he was staring into their very souls...

After a few moments of silence, the boy sighed. He didn't want to be here, honestly, but it was the will of his master. It was unfortunate that they had to enlist the help of...humans to proceed with their plans, but they were willing to throw their lives away for the grand scheme of spreading the darkness.

If the master thought they were worthy enough, the boy had no room to complain. Use whatever they could to accomplish their goals, such was their groups ways.

"Greetings...you may call me Wendolo." the boy finally spoke up, introducing himself. Even his voice was full of innocence, it was almost hard to take him seriously. "Your task is a simple one." he began, pressing the button on the holo-platform to change the image to that of the specific base they were to be infiltrating. Or at least, the area it was in: the jungles of South America, home to the base simply referred to as Jaburo.

"Within the subterranean base housed in this area is a prototype battleship. You are to infiltrate it and commandeer the vessel." he explained simply enough. "But of course, it is heavily fortified, so brute force would be impossible to use." Wendolo continued, hitting a button to display images of several, humanoid machines, Mobile Suits as the world called them. In addition to the bases natural defenses, these machines protected the secret within. The images would soon be replaced with a video, showing these mobile suits in action.

"So this is where some...finesse is required. Before I move on, do you all think you'll be able to handle such a delicate task?"

Koji listened to everyone pledge their allegiance and thought they were all a bit overzealous. When Eiji gave his reply, Koji put his hands up in the air as a form of surrender to the discussion. He wanted to tell him to toss him a dictionary instead of that explanation, but for once he listened to that little voice when it told him to stop.

Now things were getting interesting. Koji didn't pay much mind to the reminder of betrayal. He took it seriously, but it seemed like a given in a place like this. What was really interesting was their first mission. Koji hadn't taken a job ever since he was dropped off on this world and his pockets were getting very light. When the boy entered the room, Koji had to admit he looked rather out of place. Yet, he sent a chill down Koji's spine, something he seemed to have to get used to if he was to work with these people. Koji took the boy as seriously as Eiji, that is until he told him his name. Koji's cheeks inflated, holding back the huge laugh he wanted to let out.

'Wendolo!', he thought in his head, not really helping the situation. Koji covered his mouth and strained a fake cough, covering the laughter. He then cleared his throat and continued to listen to the explanation. This mission...was nothing like he'd ever experienced before. Infiltrating a military base let alone getting passed giant robots wasn't something he did regularly. But his ego wouldn't let Koji question his own abilities.

"Infiltrating a military base, getting passed giant robots, and commandeering a spaceship? Of course I can do it." There was obviously a little sarcasm in his statement, yet at the same time one could tell that was his way of saying he could get the job done.

Rozanny heard Infiltrate, acquire, and finesse required that was enough to get her interested.

"Yea I'm up for the challenge, what kind of deadly giant robots are we up against Wendolo? Are they those types that, we should avoid?"

With her interested piqued Roz was interested in hearing what the other members of the group had to say

Elysse listened intently to the others as they responded to the stranger. She heard of this world before. Giant robots, spaceflight, weapons deemed unfeasable where she came from but no doubt a fact of life there. She smiled,infiltrate, then bust out of the base with a ship.

"I'm for it. Seems some kind of weird kids cartoon, but it might prove to be quite an adventure."
She said. She also planned to probably make off with a few items. Who knows what interesting weapons she might find in that world.

Danny watched as the kid entered into the room. It seemed interesting that this kid was the one who would be representing the whole planet that was in trouble, and at first it seemed strange that Wo Shing would be helping someone, but then he realized that it was probably more fro the good of the group, and was probably going to end up with Wo Shing owning this planet. That was of course just speculation, but Danny couldn’t help it.

When the young boy finished his little speech about everything Danny didn’t know what to say. It seemed like it was the sort of thing that he didn’t want to help with. He didn’t like the idea of helping some militant people. That wasn’t something that he was into at all. His head was trying to pop off and just scream at all of these stupid people for even thinking of being here.

They had a choice.

NO, THIS IS STUPID. I WON’T DO IT. THERE IS NOW WAY THAT YOU CAN MAKE ME. FUCK YOU, ALL OF YOU. I HATE IT HERE. JUST SAY THAT YOU WON’T DO IT. LET EIJI KILL YOU NOW. IT’LL BE BETTER FOR YOU. THIS ISN’T YOU. DON’T SAY YES. LET IT END HERE.

“I’ll do it.”

Ada did not care that the man giving them a mission was an innocent child, frankly she could not be surprised by anything anymore. It was better in such situations to follow the tides, going with them not fighting them. She smiled at the boy as he began their briefing. Her foot tapped lightly on the ground as she listened completely at all of it with close attention, her eyes making sure of the new details he was showing them. Finesse? Could you not see, she probably held more finesse in her left pinky than many in the room, it was perfectly acceptable and she could accomplish it if they were crafty enough, hell they could even have someone steal one of those Giant robots.

"Let's get it done then," Ada declared in a stoic voice. Declaring it with confidence would certainly bring attention, something unnecessary at the currently analyzed moment for her. It was clear, she played this as if in a Court and her fellow courtiers were being called upon to perform a task by the head of the 'Wo Shing Court', there was no if and or buts just getting it done.

IZUNAAAA DROP!
Dominique clenched her fist, holding it up in front of her face confidently. A world filled with advanced machines? It was like fate itself had conspired to give her a mission suited to her talents! Dominique liked the boy giving them their mission briefing. She could tell from the expressions on some of the other members faces that they were surprised by his appearance. She understood the burden of being young, beautiful and infinitely talented. People always underestimate you. Not that he was half as pretty as she was, but she was certain their struggles paralleled in some ways.

Nodding her head as he finished, the devious diva folded her arms triumphantly. There was no doubt about it, she would shine in this mission. "Advanced technology is my specialty, if we encounter robotic resistance I can stack em', whack em' or hijack em'! I'm so in!!" She announced excitedly. Enthusiasm with results was always the way to go. After all, a DJ always aimed to dazzle. She was certain it wouldn't be long until she was the best of the best here just as she had been musically. Who else among these people could possibly stand in her way?

Angel stood silently in the corner of the room located directly behind Eiji. She had no reason to introduce herself as these new or old members meant nothing to her. She had no reason to profess her undying loyalty to Eiji because he was the only reason she even desired to live. She wouldn't swear allegiance to Wo Shing but only to Eiji. Where ever he goes, and as long as he would have her, Angel would follow.

Hundreds killed, Machinery built, topics researched, hours upon days of servitude and all done with a smile as Eiji desired it. She'd eat her own first born if he even thought of it. She was the perfect servant...never would he ever need to question her loyalty. She was silent...dressed all in black in a formal yet sleezy cut dress with a long slit up the side. Black heels accentuated her long, perfectly designed legs as she finally stepped forward when Wendolo stated the mission.

Angel had done much harder missions for Eiji before. She looked up at the group she would be accompanying into Jaburo and released a small giggle.

"I wont need their help. Machinary and Robotics are my specialty after all but I will follow orders without question as always Master.", She said towards Eiji with a slight nod.

She'd tear apart the Gods if Eiji desired it so. This little...horrid excuses for robots will pale in comparison to her design but this wasn't a mission of brute force...which the WORLDS knew Angel had but of wits. Angel was a genius of course...this would be cake. She just hoped those simpletons would carry their own weight and not hold her down. She could do this on her own and still have enough to time and energy to mow down a hundred men in more ways then one. She would prove her worth...just as she has in the past many times.

Of course they all thought they were up to it. The truth was they were all, or most of them, nothing but amateurs. Even those who claimed being specialists in technology, such as Angel and Dominique... they had only come into contact with their own primitive technology. What they were about to try to pull off was way beyond their knowledge.

On top of that, flying that ship and making it out of that world alive was hard enough without taking into account that before they even got a hold of the ship they had to infiltrate one of the most secure, well-guarded, impossible-to-break-in military facilities in the entire universe.

This would be no hack-and-slash, brute force, kill 'em all strike. It would take careful planning, lots of intelligence and finesse and most of all, the ability to follow orders and work as a team.

Eiji smirked, knowing quite well there was a huge possibility many of them didn't come out alive. This mission would sort out the real talent in Wo Shing's new member batch.

"It seems to me they are all more than willing. Please carry on, Wendolo-san."

At that moment several panels from the high ceiling started sliding down, hanging from what looked like some sort of hydraulic mechanism. On each panel were what looked like several people standing with a long table in front of them. They were at the other end of the room where it was dark so the members couldn't tell much more than that. They all remained still while Wendolo continued explaining the details of their mission.

"...this is why I hate working with humans." Wendolo muttered to himself, struggling to maintain a bit of composure as each member gave their response. Juvenile because of his appearance and name, drones that followed every order given to them by someone stronger, cocky because they had some parlor trick up their sleeve, it disgusted him...it was almost enough to make him show it but instead he just kept his smile up.

"Oh confident are we? Well, no matter, the cocky ones can be the meat shields. It's all their good for anyway. I don't know how well hot air holds up against minovsky based weaponry though." his voice remained pleasant, yet at the same time had enough power behind it to show that he had no use for pompous fools. "This world has always been known for it's surprises, so I hope you can back up your talk. At the very least it will be less blood on my hands." he finished, before clearing his throat. "Forgive me, I seem to have lost my self in a childish rant."

"I can't give you any more details on the area, it was hard enough getting this much, but I can at least give you what you're after, ne?" Wendolo stated, before pressing a button on the console, bringing up specs for a strange black dragonoid like ship.

SYSTEM: Status
 
Type: Mothership, Battleship
Designation: D3
Manufacturer: Foriyea Corporation
Operator: Foriyea Corporation
Height: 120m
Length: 360m
Weight: 101,000 tons
Armament: Giga Graviton, Unknown
Systems: Unknown


Unfortunately, there appeared to be holes in the unit specifications yet Wendolo didn't seem to delve into it. "We couldn't get much more than this, but I can assure you the rewards are promising should you succeed. The world's preference for using EOT is outstanding though." he commented as a simulation of the ship popped up next, displaying it was armed with a weapon known as the Giga Graviton, a Gravity based weapon that showed off enough power to level small fleet.

"I don't have much else to add, so feel free to discuss the rest amongst yourselves."

Angel looked at the ship's specs and instantly memorized them outright. The weight, the shape, everything that was shown even for a minute was now saved in her head like nothing. Eiji was no fool though, He would make this mission nearly impossible to complete, even with the teams "talents" backing them up. Over 100,000 tons...Well its safe to say they can't carry the ship back so someone would have to pilot the thing when and if they took control of the thing.

"Leave piloting the ship to me once we get inside. It will only take so long to hijack the controls once I am in but the situation demands a plan. These robotic defenses and the Giga Graviton could level us in a sheer moment so caution and planning is a must. I can get more information on the defenses and the ship itself in a few moments if I can be permitted a minute or two to think.", Angel said to the group of "teammates" she'd have the privilege to work with.

What no one knew but herself, primarily cause Eiji had not asked her, is that with the Worlds all fused together, Angel now had access to the worlds greatest super computer in the world. EXE, the world of information and data, had now been opened to her. She was NOT just familiar with her own technology anymore but the technology of all the worlds, at least the information that wasn't SO heavily encrypted. The Kamens, The Robotics, The EXE junkies, Heartless, Nobodies, Niwa, Jaburo, Monsters, Demons, Everything in between...She now had much more knowledge downloaded in that brilliant mind of hers then most could read in a lifetime. Angel's "Talents" certainly took advantage of the situation.

Cross-dresser Extraordinaire!
Namida… or rather Tomo-kun watched the meeting from his spot at the back of the room; a bored expression on her face. The whole thing seemed rather unneeded, a simple “this is the mission, this is where you need to go and this is when it needs to be done” would have been sufficient in her opinion but it seemed Eiji liked things with a bit more pizzazz. (Evident by his overdone speech and fancy hologram project) When asked to step forward as a sign of their loyalty (or was it submission?) Namida merely shifted her weight onto her other foot. She had already proved herself loyal to Eiji, the memories of her last mission still sent shivers down her spine.

She instead eyed the others from behind her orange glasses as each one pledged their undying loyalty to the man with green eyes. It seemed to be full of women. ’my my Eiji, planning on starting a brothel?’ she pondered crossing her arms over her bandaged down chest as she eyed a couple of girls wearing rather tight and revealing dresses. With this group of overzealous lemmings that did seem like a very real possibility, after all she had caught one of these girls trying to squirm her way into Kuro’s bed when they had lived together. She raised an eyebrow when one boy (so there were men in the group after all) spoke out with a rather ballsy question for the crime lord standing before them. Maybe this group of newbies wasn’t full of lemmings after all.

Her eys moved back to the man of the hour, Eiji-san had called some child out to explain the mission. Namida tensed a bit, the chibi gave her the creeps but she shook it off. She listened closely to the mission and the responses of all her future “teammates” each exclaim how this mission would be no problem. Namida almost laughed aloud. ‘steal a 101,000 ton ship? No problem, while I’m at it I should raise my father from the dead and learn to tap dance.’ she thought to herself looking around. She looked down at her hands and clenched her fists. This was going to be harder than the last mission (not as mentally scarring thank god) hopefully she would be able to rely on her new wo shing brethren for the task ahead.

Rozanny's first instinct was to flinch and yelp but she held it back when she saw how huge the ship was..

Oh God... we have to steal that? I don't know how well we'll do but we should manage to get it...

Muttering to herself she said "Are... we going into space? I dunno if my fire works in space.."

Elysse just sighed. This girl, this supposed master of the information world, was a handful. Then again, so was everyone here. Egoes heaped up upon egos. A member of an exclusive club, they were more or less ready to do their bidding. Elysse calmly nodded. If she wanted to handle the ship, she can do it. Elysse has yet to fully interact with people here.

In all honesty, Elysse was almost antithetical to what many would consider a Wo Shing member. She had a brilliant mind and somewhat sharp wit, contrary to the mindless, powerful thugs around here. Her powers were somewhat lackluster, her fighting style focusing on sheer manipulation and not brute force. And she used to be part of the 'system' as the kids like to call society nowadays. She still indulges in it, and has yet to gain a severe reprimand. Her impression of Wo Shing from K (oh how that mere memory makes her go red with anger) was that Wo Shing was something similar to most criminal elements. Unwavering steadfast loyalty to the leader, connections to shady underground protectionist work. Fingers in every pie, seeping through the bright and happy like octopus tentacles.

Elysse chuckled a bit, as she remembered her high school advanced history courses. She had survived examination hell and gotten into a prestigeous private high school. She remembered Mao, and his methods. She wasn't terribly communist, she wasn't a liberal, but she saw results when she sees it. The past few weeks for her was mainly spent in the second district, namely the space port. She dressed up as a traveler, or a refugee, something to make her fit in. She never once attended to some inner-most secret get together with these fellow Wo Shing members, mainly because that produces anthropic behavior. No, she was out there, and her little book of moleskin had ended up being a few boxes. She had cataloged it and painstakingly rewrote her observations into a secure laptop she whimsically kept under her bed. Never connected to the net, if Eiji were to ask her now, she'll just pull out her PDA and tell him.

She learned a lot, many from ship captains from various worlds who had those capabilities, many from official publications or news articles from refugees, and also by traveling in those worlds. In the end though, her greatest asset to this mission would most likely be her flexibility in most roles. She took it upon herself to not rely solely on her powers, and to learn newer things. As an electromancer, she wouldn't need guns when she can force lightning people. But she still held a gun, learned hand to hand combat, and practice throwing knives. She learned how to be a defensive and offensive driver, and in a pinch, could probably fly a plane or a helicopter, familiarizing herself with the controls and application.

In the end though, as she mused at her 'teammates' plans, she held her moleskin book, new by the way it wasn't creased and loose, a new pen in her hand, some cheap one from a pack of 20 for 500 Yen.

"Hmm. Oh yeah, you're the systems infiltrator." Elysse said, finally. "There are many holes in this plan. Starting with. How the fuck we are getting to that world's version of the Pentagon without being caught. Life isn't an anime you know. Its best we took some time to map out the area and learn the standard operating procedure, which you can do since you're the hacking expert. Then we need everyone to just somehow fit in." She stared at Rozanny and Dominique. No, these two would raise the alarm if they acted like they do. Noting that this world shared similarities with Niwa, she can only guess that their military has their own standard protocol as well. No, Dominique wouldn't fit. She'd break the Standard Operating Procedures in half if it was right in front of them, personified.

"This will take some time. We can do it, as long as we work like a team and not put our egos ahead of us. I'm sure some of you had basic military training."
She then remembered briefly what the hacker said, and smiled. Secure military networks usually didn't have outside connections beyond what is publicly known or classified. If this Wendolo guy gave em all the information he had and it only listed what the ship was and looked like, then the network was tough, and most likely running with a different set of operating systems and guarded by a whole room of information analysts, who can notice the hack and cut her off. Knowing the type of systems the US Military used in their sensitive information, she'd need more than a few moments. And even then, usually intrusion and destruction of the first few levels of a firewall and other anti-intrusion programs meant that the hard lines will be cut. All sorts of other things too, Elysse could probably imagine high level bombers or orbital strike weapons coming in to destroy this place if she was a fool to try. And even then, there could be something as exotic as an actual A.I.

Elysse sighed. It was a good thing she took her retirement. Being an Army Officer meant she'd had to go through this...with even more odds stacked against her. She mentally paused. No, she'd rather take the Army career if she had the choice. She'd have sergeants to fix unruly privates and a staff to work with...besides this gaggle. Wo Shing's current members looked like they knew how to rob a bank and inspire fear in people. But she hasn't met much of the others who had walked forward outside in her travels. Something tells her its going to be annoying dealing with them.

"Besides, the moment we enter that vessel, we're dealing with an entierly different monster." She said, not bothering that the ship looked like a dragon. "It's painfully obvious this thing was specialized, and might require a crew that has most likely trained hard on it. Knowing our luck, it might not even fly or leave its dock without specialized keys and codes, any intrusion to hack the programming can leave damage to its actual operating structure and from what I figure, this thing is all fly by wire." She was starting to look like her heart wasn't in it, something she had to fix. Especially when in front of the boss.

"Look. What I'm saying is that its impossible. What I'm saying is we should account for everything, and not resort to brute force. I don't know about y'all, but I think going in there without a proper and flexible plan would just mean we'd be shot up by thousands of lasers."

Eiji looked at them with a slight annoyance. It was as if they didn't hear a word he and Wendolo said.

Angel was her usual self, always trying for some reason to prove her worth to Eiji... there was just too much of her deceased creator in her. She was capable alright, but she was too... 'passionate' sometimes and didn't think things through despite her intellect.

Then there was the fire lady... who thought she could take a military base with her fireworks? There was no doubt in his mind most of them thought similar things. No matter how much did Eiji himself and other, senior members stressed the fact that powers were of no interest to Wo Shing. At least Elysee, the ex-cop, seem capable of thinking before speaking.

"Thank you, Wendolo-san."

Eiji stepped forward to address them.

"So why should you risk your lives just to get this ship? Not just because I say so. You all know what the stakes are by joining us, so risking your life is an everyday thing, and you're willing to do it because it's worth it."

Eiji smirked.

"But risking one's life is easy. How easy is, however..."

The lights in the back went on and lit the people standing on the lowered platforms which had just come down from the ceiling. They were tied and gagged. There were tables lined before them; on top them and in front of each one of the people laid a gun. These were advanced, top of the line energy blasters, laser guns or whatever they chose to call them. One gun per person, it couldn't be clearer.

"...ending someone else's life?"

Eiji raised his arm and motioned them to walk towards them. Upon closer look they'd see the tied men and women were all wearing a uniform of some kind, though it looked nothing like the military uniforms of their world.

"Those are the uniforms you are to wear before we go to the base. The problem is, you'll have to get rid of their current owners first. Hurry up and make sure not to damage the clothes you'll be wearing."
