"Sweet.," Leo says with a grin, taking control of the arm with the joystick. "Time to light these guys up!" Using the arms guns, she starts blasting at the defense SPSRL. "Just yell if you need it back or something!"

"Feel free to use it when I break through. I will not be needing it until we need to guard Antonio and miss Ophi." Galahad says. he finishes cutting through the wall, and punches out the hole he hand made with the arm he still controled. he steps through it.
"Left!" Antonio says.
"Right." Galahad says and goes to the left.

Scorpio twitches. "Well well well...it seems something in Tektallium seeks to cheat in my game. Naughty naughty." Scorpio shuts her eye. "Rise my agents, let not the Tektallians escape."

Galahad plows through guards, following the route Antonio programed into him. he stops in front of a stairwell that went down. "Antonio, we're here." he says
"Alright, Ophi you come with me. Miss Leo, would you stay with Galahad and hold them off?" Antonio asks as he goes out the back of Galahad into the stairs.
Ophiuchus follows him.
-------
"Playing games with the humans again are you Scorpio?" a woman asks as she joins them. her eyes were covered by a mask and she wore a necklace with a scale on it. "I do hope you don't cause any unwanted information to be leaked. We have remained hidden for this long, it seems foolish for our cover to be blown over games." she sighs "How are you Virgo? I haven't seen you in a long time. You keeping an eye on little Ophi's exploits as well as your duties and I still deep in my search for the sucessor to my grandfather. We're never home at the same time anymore."

"Don't worry, I'll keep these guys from getting to you. Just grab the empress and get back here ASAP!," Leo replies back.
"A sad truth I am afraid.," Virgo says to the woman. "Although I am happy to say the SPSRL, while magnificent in themselves and the society they've created, are not much of a threat to us and our goals in my opinion. In fact, they're even better as tools, as can be seen by Ophiuchus and her human Antonio. Together they've used my adamantium I created to make a highly superior model of SPSRL and are freeing the empress, which is sure to be a great success of a mission. Have you made any progress in finding the heir you're looking for Libra?"

Antonio nods and runs down the stairs, Ophiuchus close behind him. "You know whic cell she's in Ophi?"
"Yes, I have a spy planted there, follow me." she replies
---
Galahad fires at oncoming soldiers "I believe these to be the peons. For I find it hard to fathom that such weak creatures bested Antonio and his fellow knights."
---------
"I have my eyes on one who looks very promising. He has a mastery and understanding of the power he has that rivals the eldest of us. All that remains is to see if he is capable of aquiring a second power. I was hoping Ophi could help me with that. She could try to enhance his secondary power, should it exist, and make it manefest. But, I am unsure if she has that skill yet." Libra sighs "Regardless if he can or cannot, he is worthy of our ranks, even if he is unfortunate enough to only have a single power. He could not be one of us, but perhaps a different name. Another celestial body." she muses. "By the way, I don't think I ever told you how sweet it is that you let Ophi use some adamantium on her pet. I know there were those who opposed giving power to a human. It's cute that you let her have a toy regardless." Libra smiles "I will likely spoil mine when I name them too."

"That's the thing with peons. You throw enough of them at something and you're bound to win eventually.," Leo replies back, spraying a couple more soldier with bullets from the arm she was controlling. "Course I've always preferred quality over quantity myself."
Virgo grins and says, "Thank you Libra. You see, I figured it would do her well to get interaction with someone since she seems to be more of a loner than the rest of us. I hope this will get her to open up more. Although I must admit, I have somewhat of a soft spot for her." He laughs. "Besides, it's not like I have anything to fear from an enhanced SPSRL. Metal is nigh useless against me."

"Soon they will realize their situation and send in some stronger soldiers." Galahad says
------
"That it is." Libra says "The machine is not the worry, the human is. Though, if she wants to have a pet, then she may as well make it superior to the others of his kind." she smiles. "At least his motives benefit us. the Empress has a beneficial power. We could use her to find others who have multiple powers."

"Ah! So that's why we're after her.," Virgo says. "I wasn't sure why we were so caught up in rescuing her, but that makes sense."

"Not only that. But she is the mother of the young man who I've been watching. She may not be capable of holding rank amoung us, but she may be close enough that her children are." Libra smiles "This fact is how I played my part in convincing the others to allow such risky activities. If we are to flourish then we need pure-blooded humans such as her to flourish as well."
-----
Antonio follows Ophiuchus through the dungeon. he sees a small ghost-like snake morph into her as they moved. "What is it?"
"There will be two guards." she says
"Not for long." Antonio says as he readies his saw.

Virgo laughs. "And the truth shall set you free Libra. She's the key to getting the successor you want? If that's the case, you have nothing to worry about. With Leo in there and the SPSRL made using my metal, this operation is sure to be a success."

"I leave no traces Libra, only corpses that speak no more and blank pages." Scorpio's eye opens. "Now shh...puppetry is a pain."

Libra chuckles and looks out at the castle. She sees inside with her powers "They are close, and Leo seems to be enjoying herself."
--------
Antonio glances down the hallway and sees the guards "Ok, I'll take them out, you stay-" he stops heaing the sounds of choking and strugling. he looks down the hallway and sees the two guards being strangled by large snakes "Or you could do it." he sighs and waits for silence.
"I want to get out of here before their Emperor finds out what we're up to." Ophiuchus says and starts down the hallway.
Antonio speeds past her and looks for a key on the guards "Damnit...they don't have it. I'll have to cut through.." he stands and looks through a small barred window on the door "Lady Marielle? My Lady, are you awake?"
from within the cell a weak looking woman looks back at him "...Antonio?..."
"Yes my lady, we're here to free you. stand away from the door." He smiles and starts up his saw. once he sees her as far from the door as she could get, he starts to cut through the door hinges and lock.

"Well that sucks, however there are reasons I operate via a mercenary group in the public eye." Scorpio's eye open. "I didn't count on the one that got away showing up. Looks like my Devil's Claws will have to work overtime now."

"So they found out about you?," Virgo says with a frown. "I had hoped our presence wouldn't be found out so soon...or at all." He sighs. "This is problematic."
"You know, I'm starting to think this is as strong as their defenses get.," Leo said to Galahad, easily holding back any troops that came to stop them.
