[17:54] <Charon[Adel]> <Follows Pendragon>

[17:54] <Gladius[Nathan]> <Com>> So help me, don't you dare die Isobel...

[17:54] <Pendragon[Isobel]> <comm> Who is this?

[17:54] <Charon[Adel]> <Comm> Can't you tell.

[17:55] <Pendragon[Isobel]> <comm to Nathan> I'll do my best, Nathan.

[17:55] <Pendragon[Isobel]> <comm> No! You know me but I don't recognize your voice. Who is this? <Feels ice down her spine again>

[17:56] <Charon[Adel]> <Comm> You couldn't save me. You and Quatre didn't save me at all.

[17:56] <Pendragon[Isobel]> <Looks back on the display at the Charon> <comm> A-adel? Oh my god...why?

[17:57] <Charon[Adel]> <Comm> It won't let me live Isobel. I'm it's servant.

[17:58] <Pendragon[Isobel]> <comm> That's stupid, Adel. You're not a machine to be controlled by others. You're a living, breathing human being.

[17:59] <Charon[Adel]> <Comm> Am I? Tell that to Charon.

[18:00] <Gladius[Nathan]> [Pendragon] <"Charon... Ryuukan... Ryujin... it is all the same. Destroy it Isobel.">

[18:00] <Pendragon[Isobel]> <comm> Charon's an AI, a mobile suit, a machine! Yes, we can have a link to them, but that doesn't mean we obey them.

[18:01] <Charon[Adel]> <Comm> I obey Leviathan!

[18:01] <Pendragon[Isobel]> <To Pendragon> I know, I know...but at what cost?

[18:01] <Pendragon[Isobel]> <Comm> Leviathan is dead! Adel! Please!

[18:02] <Joshua_Armaros> <"Stop talking, Adel...">

[18:02] <Joshua_Armaros> <"Fight.">

[18:03] <Charon[Adel]> <Bursts forward suddenlly slashing with the sword>

[18:03] <Joshua_Armaros> <"Kill the trappings of this mortal life, and become pure in service to Leviathan...">

[18:04] <Pendragon[Isobel]> <comm> No, Adel! <Brings up the shield> <Comm> I don't want to fight you!

[18:04] <Charon[Adel]> <Attempts to push the sword through the shield> <Comm> You have to!

[18:04] <Joshua_Armaros> [Charon] "This rivarly will never die as long as either of us exist...one must destroy the other...so fight to the death."

[18:04] <Gladius[Nathan]> [Pendragon] <"Isobel, sometimes the alternative is not to fight, but to survive. Return his attack, or I shall override you."

[18:06] <Pendragon[Isobel]> <Brings up the Aura, pushing the Charon back> Don't make me, Adel! <raises the right arm, aiming at the Charon, concentrating>

[18:06] <Charon[Adel]> <Comm> You have no choice! FIGHT ME! <Dodges and fires the GRav Amps attempting to shove the Pendragon into the ground>

[18:07] <Pendragon[Isobel]> <comm> Adel! Please! <Brings up the shield, firing the right Judgement Seal at the Charon>

[18:08] <Charon[Adel]> <Dodges to the side firing with the hyper vulcans, Adel doesn't respond>

[18:09] <Pendragon[Isobel]> <Rushes the Charon, slamming into the suit> <comm> Adel, answer me!

[18:10] <Charon[Adel]> <Flies backwards from impact and steadies drawing the sword again> <Comm> Why? It doesn't make a difference.

[18:11] <Pendragon[Isobel]> <Comm> Why are you doing this? <Draws out the Tenchu blade, activating it> <comm> Why are you fighting?

[18:12] <Charon[Adel]> <Slashes at the Pandragon diagnoly> <Comm> I have to.

[18:14] <Charon[Adel]> <The swords lock and the Charons face moves close to the Pendragons> <Comm> Why not?

[18:15] <Pendragon[Isobel]> <Comm> You can decide not to do this. You can walk away. <Thrusts backward, disengaging the swords>

[18:16] <Charon[Adel]> <Brings the sword back to a ready position> How do I walk away? They won't let me.

[18:17] <Pendragon[Isobel]> <Brings up the Tenchu again> <comm> You're not a weapon like they are. You have your own will, not theirs.

[18:18] <Charon[Adel]> <Stands there holding the blade ready> It's not just them...

[18:19] <Charon[Adel]> <Comm> Joshua tells me to as well.

[18:20] <Pendragon[Isobel]> <Slahes the Tenchu towards the shoulder of the Charon> <comm> Then who else is it?

[18:20] <Pendragon[Isobel]> <comm> Joshua? He's behind all of this?

[18:20] <Charon[Adel]> <Brings the Murakumo up barely blocking the blade> Joshua.

[18:22] <Pendragon[Isobel]> <Presses forward with the blade> <comm> You blindly obey people then?

[18:22] <Charon[Adel]> <Pushes towards the Pendragon trying to keep the tenchu off it's shoulder> <Comm> I have to.

[18:25] <Pendragon[Isobel]> <Swings back the Tenchu again, slashing forward> <comm> Then what you're saying is that we're both pawns. I won't accept that!

[18:26] <Charon[Adel]> <Dashes backwards raising it's right arms shield in case the blade comes close> <Comm> I am not human.

[18:28] <Pendragon[Isobel]> <Presses forward, raising the amount of energy output on the blade> <comm> You are human, Adel. Same as me. Your blood is red, you breathe the same mix of air that I do, you have emotions. That makes you human!

[18:28] <Charon[Adel]> <comm> I was born in a tank Isobel. My mother was a machine! <Readies the blade again>

[18:30] <Pendragon[Isobel]> <Comm> But that doesn't change that you are human! There are plenty of test-tube babies in the Earth sphere! <backs away slighlty>

[18:32] <Charon[Adel]> <Steps forward> Are there? Are there any ones that don't have information from a mother or a father? I know how they were born, but were they made on a computer? Their genetic code just a series of information created by a group of people who wanted a living weapon?

[18:34] <Pendragon[Isobel]> <Holds ground> <comm> One cannot create life artificially. There had to be a donor from a male and a female. So you weren't conceived in love, Adel. There are hundreds that aren't conceived that way. You are as human as I am.

[18:36] <Charon[Adel]> <The weapon shakes as if Adels own hands shake> <Comm> If there was then they must not have loved me. THey changed my genetic code to be different from others, they made me more savage, they drilled into my mind how to kill before I was born! How human is that?

[18:39] <Pendragon[Isobel]> <Lowers the Tenchu slightly> <Comm> I can't answer for the ones that ultimately created you, Adel. I don't know how or why they created you to be a weapon, but you can be better than that. I saw it in action up on the colonies. You were worried about me, about Quatre. And we care about you still.

[18:40] <Charon[Adel]> <Hesitates slightly the sword lowering as well.>

[18:41] <Pendragon[Isobel]> <comm> Please Adel, let's end this cycle that was forced upon us. Let me help you.

[18:42] <Charon[Adel]> <A hand tenses on the sword slightly> <Comm> Help...me...?

[18:43] <Pendragon[Isobel]> <Holds the same stance> <comm> Yes, let me help you. Like before. Remember? I helped you regain a semblance of yourself on the colony when we first met.

[18:44] <Charon[Adel]> <The hand tenses more> <Comm> I...I...

[18:47] <Charon[Adel]> <The sword suddenlly points towards the chest of the Pendragon> <comm> No! <The Pendragon dashes forwards the blade stretched out to spear the chest of Pendragon but stops inches away visibly shaking as the mists gather around it>

[18:49] <Pendragon[Isobel]> <Raises the Tenchu between herself and the blade of Charon, sparks flying> <comm> Adel! I don't want this!

[18:50] <Charon[Adel]> <The blade remains where it is at the chest of Pendragon shaking>

[18:50] <Pendragon[Isobel]> <Comm> But if forced to, I will! <Knocks the sword away from the chest>

[18:54] <Charon[Adel]> <The sword deactivates and the Charon slowly lowers it plaicing it back in the recharge rack.>

[18:57] <Pendragon[Isobel]> <comm> What are you doing, Adel? <Still holding the Tenchu high>

[18:58] <Charon[Adel]> <Slowly kneels> <Comm> I'm sorry.

[18:58] <Pendragon[Isobel]> <replaces the Tenchu back in its place> <comm> What are you sorry for? <steps forward, shield still at the ready>

[18:59] <Charon[Adel]> <Comm> For...

[19:02] <Charon[Adel]> <Comm> Fighting you... <The Charon slowly stands>

[19:02] <Pendragon[Isobel]> <Stops in place, Aura rippling around the Pendragon> <Comm> As you said, Adel, you felt as if you had not choice.

[19:04] <Pendragon[Isobel]> <Comm> Adel, where are you going?

[19:05] <Charon[Adel]> <Comm> I don't know... <It begins to hover in the air>

[19:05] <Pendragon[Isobel]> <Ignites thrusters as well, rising up to face Charon> <comm> Come with me. Let me help you.
