"No it's not. As far as they know I'm the head of an assassin's guild. It's a shiny object for the humans to look at while we go our own way. I even have a fake Scorpio decoy that leads them. They won't know of us. Darien knows nothing of this as he was kept by them. It's why I opted out of giving him the offered Adamantium arm. I wanted to be busted, I want them to pursue my Claws. I've done this many times before Libra, worry not." Scorpio smirks. "I know when to strike and where to spread my poison the best."

"Knowing of someone, and knowing about them are different. So long as they only know her existance, and not her story, we are fine. Though I would advise more percaustionary actions, tread lightly for a bit." Libra says
--------
"Well, I guess most of them are protecting their emperor." Galahad says "I will not argue with ease." he looks, seeing the humans slowly become replaced by SPSRL "It would seem they tire of loss of human life." he says as they are fired on by the SPSRL.
-----
Antonio pulls the door forward with his arm so that it fell away from Marielle. He steps over it and goes to her "Come my Lady, freedom is not far. The hardest part is over." he says.
Marielle hugs him "Thank you Antonio....You have no idea how I've missed you."
"Hate to break up this touching reunion, but if we don't get back to Galahad soon, the Emperor will find out our plan and come after us himself." Ophiuchus says.
Antonio nods "Right."
"who's she?" Marielle asks, looking at Ophiuchus suspitiously, eyeing her strange clothes
"A friend, she kept me alive to save you." Antonio says and picks her up.

Virgo shrugs. "I suppose, now that you mention it, this isn't the first time your little trick with the ink has been discovered by humans." He then smiles and says, "Although I don't think you even need to alert your Claws. Soon Arcadis will have something much larger to worry about than us. Something much more direct...and distracting."
"Seems so.," Leo says, gritting her teeth as she fires back at the SPSRL. "Hope Antonio and Ophi get back fast. How much ammo do you got left?"

"There is never enough distraction. Better to be shrouded in a dense fog than a light mist." Scorpio says.

"They have some who can see through even the thickest fogs." Libra says
--------
"Not much, we'll have to switch to hand to hand combat soon." Galahad says.
------
Antonio carries Marielle as he and Ophiuchus run to return to Galahad.

"Oh I know of them, trust me. I know. But think of it, they'll now have to do a sweep of everyone, making sure no one bares my mark, not knowing I have ways of hiding it." Scorpio smiles. "They will think they are safe and then I strike again."

"Shit.," Leo curses. If they were still soldiers she'd just hop out and roast them, but SPSRL were a different story. "Do you want your arm back when it comes to that?"

"Yes Please." Galahad says. "Ah, good, I do detect Antonio and miss Ophi coming."
--------
"Let's just hope they don't wish to pursue who you are." Libra says

"In other news, how fares Aries?," Virgo asks Libra. "Is he still alive or has he passed on?"

"He's alive but only just." Libra says saddly "He keeps going on about how he needs more than one of us there when he passes. That he has instructions for us...we should go to him after this. I think the valiant knight can protect his Empress without Ophi for a bit." she says "They will be back soon. We best prepare to depart."
-------
Antonio and Ophiuchus arrive back where they had left Galahad and Leo.
"Sir Antonio, excelent timing!" Galahad says happily and takes a defensive pose so that they could board without getting hit by gun fire.
"Antonio..." Marielle says with worry.
"Milady this is Galahad." Antonio says as they board. he lies her down on a leather seat as Opjiuchus gets in and closes the hatch. "Galahad, get us out of here!"
"Yes sir!" Galahad says and speeds off, plowing through the forces in his way.
----
From a battlement Nero watches as Galahad flees "Hmm, so they got her..." he turns to a group of officers "Which of you is in charge of the security of this area?"
One officer gulps and steps forward "that would be I, Sir Nero."
"So you are the one who let this happen? Why did you not have more guards stationed here?"
"M-my Lord, a majority of my men were taken to protect the Emperor..."
"And that is a reasonalble excuse?" Nero says, as he watches Galahad break through the way he came in and speed off "Are you aware that the small force that just assulted us, has just made off with the Empress?"
"Y-yes my Lord"
"And it was under your supervision that this happened? You did not us the men you had to make sure she stayed there?"
"W-With all due respect Sir Nero....you didn't do anything either."
"How dare you. I was orderd not to. The Emperor knows my powers are more effective on humans. Not to mention that was no ordinary SPSRL." Nero scowls.
"Well...sir, perhaps if we had awakened the Prince he certainly could have-" the officer is stopped by the back of Nero's hand comeing down on him and knocking him back.
"YOU DARE SUGGEST SUCH A THING? In his condition the Prince is in no shape to fight, it could kill him!" he snaps, and then composes himself again. "Now then...you are lucky, as the Emperor has little care if his wife escaped or not. So you will be spared his fury." Nero says, watching as the officer relaxes "However...I view this as a horrible treachery. You have let the woman who tried to murder the Prince go free, while he is in a vulnerable state as it is. You have put his majesty in jepordy." he looks at him "And that is something I cannot stand for." he smirks and watches as the officer suddenly looks confused and scared.
The officer moves his head as if he were looking around, and then suddenly buckles over screaming.
Nero watches with satisfaction and starts to laugh. he steps over the man and walks away "What are the rest of you standing around for? Get to work! We need bodies cleared, and that breach mended and fortified!" he says as he departs and allows the man to revel in his worst fear.
-------
"How is she doing?" Galahad asks as he makes his way back to the others. they weren't being pursued, and he had managed to take cover on a road surrounded by forest.
"I am well enough..." Marielle says and looks at Antonio who was kneeling next to her "my knight..." she smiles faintly.
Ophiuchus looks at them "Hmmmmm." is al she says, before noticing the Empress holding something "What's that?"
"It's...the crown of the Imperial Empress....he left it in there to torment me...." she replies
"And why would you want a thing like that?"
"Because....now I will use it to mock him...." she smiles, somewhat darkly.
"I can see the others on my scanner." Galahad reports

Leo kicks back and lets out a contended sigh. "Perfect. Mission complete."
Virgo nods. "Of course. We have all known Aries for as long as we have been Orbis. It is only fitting that we be there at his end."

Ophiuchus nods "They don't care that we suceeded...we're not being followed. I hope she doesn't have some sort of tracking mechanism on her."
Marielle looks at the two women and frowns "But that's...Antonio...what's going on here?"
"Lady Marielle?" Antonio asks
"An SPSRL more advanced than any of Arcadis, perhaps Sectora...you...you're a cyborg, and both of them have two powers....What is all of this?"
Antonio chuckles "Even I don't know all of it." he moves aside a little so she could see Ophiuchus better "Lady Marielle, this is Miss Ophiuchus, and her friend Leo. Ophiuchus found me after a battle, and gave me back my lost limbs. She then helped me build Galahad here, so I could save you. I could never have done it if it hadn't been for her and her friends."
"I see..." Marielle says, not convinced.
"Antonio, I'll ask the others if I can bring you to the site where we built Galahad. But they may not allow it, and if they do, you'll both have to be blindfolded." Ophiuchus says
"Alright, that's fine, I understand. Thank you Ophi."
-------
Libra turns her head as she sees Galahad arrive "Good...they are here, we can depart soon."

"It is fitting, isn't it?" Arriving behind Scorpio were three beings.
"I ran into them en route, sorry I am late. these headaches are getting annoying." The first was Taurus and behind him was Capricorn and Saggitarius.
"Rookie's going through growing pains. Heh heh." Capricorn laughs.
"Shut up." Saggitarius says. "I see at least one of the reasons I am here. Aries...is it really his time?" She glares at Scorpio angrily.
"Yes it....oh?" Scoprio smirks. "Saggi, this is not the time nor the place."
"I was sent to escort you all to Aries." Taurus says. "Are we done here?"

As Galahad comes to a stop, Ophiuchus climbs out and sits on his shoulder "I would say so. Can I bring them? I'll keep them where I kept Antonio. they won't see anything."
Marielle frowns, hearing the converstion. She could sense multiple people with multiple powers outside and it troubled her.

Leo hops out of Galahad and stretches. "Well, that was fun. Gotta say, you're pretty impressive Galahad."
Virgo ponders Ophiuchus' request. "Bring them to the fortress? I know that we should bring the Empress...hmm..."
