Max hopped from his spot, "Fantastic. When can I get my ship fixed? It could be a massive asset to you people," 'And get me the fuck out of this place," Max thought to himself as he followed the two out of the room.

As the hovercar died due to loss of power Syphril promptly made his way out of the car. He gazed upon his bleak surroundings for a moment. It was when he was serveying the underground passage that he glanced at Xeir's wounds, healing at a rapid pace. 'Heh, this guy ain't human. After what I saw, I don't even know why I'm still following him. Better move with caution. I'm not an ally yet. Things could get dangerous.' He glared briefly at Xeir menacingly when he wasn't looking, so as not to arouse any suspicion from Xeir himself.
Syphril followed Xeir to the elevator. "There are no such thing as 'good guys'.", he said bitterly, his voice glazed with contempt. "There are no angels, but there sure as hell are demons." He glanced over at Xeir for but a moment before drifting his attention else where as he followed silently thereafter.

Josef gave a cold growl as he put his swords away, concealing them by sweeping his trench caot around them.
"Where are we anyway?"

Xeir shot Syphril and Josep a look that said 'Watch your tongue, or you wont be the owner of it anymore.'
"Demons indeed." Xeir remarked.
Syphril had no idea how that word would plauge them all.
__________________________________________________________________________
Terra, Max, arrived at the main elevator enterance desk.
Ken limped up behind them, his leg still wasn't working properly.
A tall brunette woman stood, and saluted General Terra.
Terra sighed. "You don't need to do that, Jean! You're my sister."
Jean shrugged in reply, and leaned forward enough that Max could tell she was... well endowed.
"As long as you're a General, I'm saluting." Jean's line of sight flicked over to Max.
"And whos this cutie?"
Ken had finally joined the gang at this point. "Hey! I thought I was your flavour of the month, Jean!" He said jokingly.
Then, the lift's doors swung open.
__________________________________________________________________________
It was a long ride down. The lift finally started to slow, and Xeir gave everyone one last look over.
"These people are the only thing standing between this world and chaos... so... please...
Don't balls it up."
The doors opened.
And everyone's eyes fell apon Terra, Ken, and Max.
Xeir walked out.
"Hallo everyone! My families dead. Whats new for you?"

Max let out a slight grin as he admired Jeans... features. He then looked to her face, "Maxwell O'Connor, but I prefer to be called Max, especially by a gorgeous woman such as yourself," he said before giving a small wink, "I'm the guy that crashed a spaceship into your base."

"Well hello there." Kyle then was distracted by the one in the middle and then started to say,"Ahem well Xier aren't you going to introduce us to your friends or I'm I going to haft to do it myself?" Kyle then chuckled and pulled out an old coin of his and started to flip it.

Josef walked out and stood to the side of Xier, Concealing his swords from sight.
"Well I never thought there was a place like this in the slums, and I did always wonder who was buying Taneel's swords maybe this place had them".
"Who are you anyway?"

As Xeir told the three to proceed with caution as to not instigate who they were soon to approach Syphril made an audible grunt as if to jest. When the doors to the lift slid open Syphril noticed the three standing about. He was slightly put off by Xeir's care free, or perhaps, spastic reaction to the death of his family. Xeir obviously had lost a chunk of his sanity along with his family.
Stepping out of the lift he removed his hood, as if to keep with civil mannerisms. He held his cloak together, so as not to bring attention to his weaponry. He silently stood by allowing Xeir to do all the talking.

Terra's eyes widened in horror and she actually looked as if she'd cry.
"Kaitlyn is dead? What about the kids?"
__________________________
Xeir shook his head.
__________________________
Tears fell freely from Terra's eyes. And she walked over to Xeir, and hugged him briefly, and then went and sat down.
__________________________
Xeir turned and whispered to his confused group.
"My late wife was also the sister of General Terra."
__________________________
Jean stopped flirting with Max long enough to hear what happened.
"Oh.." She said emotionlessly.
Terra regained her composier after a few moments and stood.
"And who are these people? And why are you not upset.."
__________________________________________________________________________
Xeir's expression changed so quickly that there was no visable transition.
His expression went from mirth to seriousness.
"These men are some random people I met at a bar. They were battling a large group of MP's on break. This is Kyle, this is Syphril, And this is Josef. They would die slightly slower than most if put up against the King.
And as to why Im not sad... well. I don't know really. I cant feel much of anything anymore. Im sure once it all floods back I'll have destroyed myself, but for now I'm in the mood for king killing."
His statement hung in the air.
___________________________
Everyone stood stunned.
Except Terra, who nodded.
"Okay. Lets kill him."

A slight smirk came across Josef's face when Xier started talking about killing the king.
He thought to himself: " I like where this is going, but I should really try and find out Tan is doing."
Josef dazed off thinking about how he is going to explain what's happened.
Josef turned to Syphril: " am I the only one who likes where this is going?"

Syphril stood in silence as Xeir briefly conversed with the people. He did not notice as Xeir's facial expression changed so drastically, yet so seamlessly. As he was introduced Syphril slightly lowered his head into a casual bow, still taking care to conceal his weaponry as he was still paranoid of what was to come.
He turned his head as Xeir spoke. 'Looks like the loss of his family was too much for him to bear and it appears their deaths' haven't quite settle into his mind as of yet.', he thought to himself, pitying Xeir's sad state of affairs. Once Xeir mentioned his intentions for regicide Syphril began to tense with anticipation, ambition clouding his mind, extending to the loftiest of his dreams.
Syphril turned to Josef as he spoke. "Monarchs do not often turn out well. Someone usually ends up losing a head in the process. This king has overstayed his welcome, and the people desire change. It looks like the pieces for the usurping are falling into place." He smiled menacingly. "Things will get interesting."

Max let out a sigh. He turned to face Jean, and simply placed his hand on her shoulder, and patted her, "Sorry," was all he said in a calm, sympathetic voice.

Josef, still concealing his blades said with a slightly happy voice:
"Well, Why don't we get down to business?"

"Now hold on there." Kyle had been silent for awhile until now and then started back talking, "I may be young but, if there's one thing I know I miss it's 4 things." Kyle then sighed and started to tell the 4 things,"The 1st thing I won't haft to watch my step every day, the 2nd well forget about that, the 3rd thing I will miss is my girlfriend rest her soul, and the final thing is that I can finally go back to hearing the good music that was played before this happened." Kyle then lend back up on the wall and said his final words,"I hate it but, we got to do it and hell it takes time to get use to change you just got to give it time is all." Kyle then waited for everyone to respond to what he said.

As Kyle interluded, making his thoughts known to everyone Syphril listened, still on edge due to an air of unease. Raised by notorious thugs in the slums, he had to learn from a young age to be cautious and ruthless to simply secure his own right to life. Those many years of pitiable self-preservation made him quick witted, paranoid and slow to trust.
"We've not had change for over 200 years.", he said scornfully. "The regicide should come swiftly, but executed with utmost caution. However, Kyle has a valid point. We cannot afford to rush things. Haste makes waste. It'd be foolish to waste the accumulated efforts of those who've contributed to this resistance."
Feeling self-assured, at least more so than before, Syphril stepped forward and spoke boldly. "I've come to join this resistance and put an end to this tyranny." He then looked at Xeir and then Terra in the eyes in a straight forward manner. "Don't get the wrong idea. I'm no vigilante. I have my own ambitions, and procuring a royal corpse is near the top of my 'to-do' list. If nothing else, I'm a useful militiaman. Will you have me join your ranks?", he asked in a rather anxious tone.
