<Isobel_Steiner> <Starts down the ladder> I was thinking about either hiding Pendragon or...or self-detonating it.

<Adel_Arikale> <Climbs down the ladder as well> I was thinking of doing similar..

[Pendragon] <Instantly awakens> <"The latter... end it, please...."> <There is a sense of loss, a degree of forlorn pathos in its tone.>

<Isobel_Steiner> <Reaches the floor> Then perhaps... <Looks over at Pendragon>

[Charon] <"Cycles... our existence has come to an end, but the death of an idle warrior is moot.

Perhaps..." Both machines suddenly engage in a sub-conscious quarrel.>

<Adel_Arikale> <Reaches the floor a moment later> Perhaps?

<Isobel_Steiner> <Points to Pendragon> He...he just woke up. Sounds as if he wants to die...I'm surprised Charon didn't say anything as well.

<Adel_Arikale> <Sighs> He does too...

[Pendragon] <"Malevolence... fate cannot be turned by cowardice. It is decided. Let go of this crusade...">

[Charon] <"Weakness prevails, the weak become weaker, and the strength ebbs away. Now, with Leviathan gone, we can pursue the intended path...">

<Isobel_Steiner> Then should we take them out to some remote area and do that then? End the legacy that was forced upon us?

[Charon[ <"Adel, destroy the obstacle.">

<Adel_Arikale> <"Charon it's over...">

<Isobel_Steiner> <Looks up at Pendragon> No...

[Charon] <"Folly. Cowards call an end to crusades when the light seems bleak. Allow yourself to rekindle the flame. Rise up, and fulfill your destiny.">

[Pendragon] <"Fate... inescapable...">

<Adel_Arikale> <Clenches a fist and looks towards Isobel then Charon> Damnit...

<Isobel_Steiner> <Looks over at Adel, horror dawning on her face> No...I don't want to...

<Isobel_Steiner> <Takes a step backward at the look on his face, in his eyes> Adel...

[Pendragon] <"It is not about want, it is about responsibility.">

[Charon] <"It is not about ideals, it is about purpose, destiny...">

<Isobel_Steiner> <"I don't need to kill him!">

<Adel_Arikale> <Turns away from her> We can't escape it, can we...They'll never stop...

[Pendragon] <"I am sorry.">

[Charon] <"Forgiveness and sorrow are illusions, giving rise to doubt and failure.">

<Isobel_Steiner> No…we can't...<Tears come to her eyes and she blinks them back>

<Adel_Arikale> <Begins climbing the ladder slowly.>

<Isobel_Steiner> <Watches him, trembling, then nods, going over to Pendragon, pulling on a flightsuit and helmet before making her way slowly up the ladder>

<Isobel_Steiner> <Climbs into the cockpit, closing the hatch, not having to bother with starting up. That's already been taken care of>

[Pendragon] I'm sorry. This is as much your fate as it is mine.

<Adel_Arikale> <Enters Charon, the systems already activated.>

[Charon] Destiny is cruel, but necessary.

<Isobel_Steiner> <Starts walking out the hanger, past the tech crews>

<Pendragon[Isobel]> <Comm, to Charon> I insist that we fight as far away from a populace as possible.

<Charon[Adel]> <Comm, Pendragon> I agree.

<Pendragon[Isobel]> <Comm, Charon> You choose-over water or in the arctic.

<Charon[Adel]> <Comm, Pendragon> Arctic...Though it really does not matter...

<Pendragon[Isobel]> <Comm, Charon> I agree. Let's go. The arctic, it is. <Steps out from the hanger, looking around once before igniting thrusters, pulling away from the AMK base and the Retribution>

<Charon[Adel]> <Steps away from the docking brackets and launches out of the hangar>

<Pendragon[Isobel]> <After an hour, the Pendragon and Charon near the Arctic Circle> Here is fine.

<Charon[Adel]> <Hovers over the Arctic Circle the Murakumo sword already in its hands.>

<Pendragon[Isobel]> <Lands on the snow and ice, drawing out the Tenchu Caliburnus> <Comm>Is this what you want? A duel to the death?

<Charon[Adel]> <comm> No... <The Charon lands>

[Pendragon] And so it begins-end game.

<Pendragon[Isobel]> <comm> Then what do you want?

<Pendragon[Isobel]> <Stands, Tenchu raised high>

[Charon] The end of this legacy.

<Charon[Adel]> <comm> I just want it to end...

<Pendragon[Isobel]> <comm> I-I don't want to do this, Adel.

<Andrew`Pawlowski> <Seemingly oblivious he notices two red dots on a map> Hey computer what’s that shit? <Looking at the map>

<Charon[Adel]> <Comm> I don't either... <The sword shakes merely being held at the Charon's side.>

[Pendragon] Isobel, if you will not fight, then who will? End this. The world cannot go on with Charon in it.

<Andrew`Pawlowski> [Computer] That’s a tracking system, old commanders Ambrose and Tyler had it installed, it tracks all friendly suits when the suit draws a weapon the dot goes red, they said it made life easier for them

<Andrew`Pawlowski> How so?

<Andrew`Pawlowski> [Computer] How should I know? Do I look like them to you?

<Pendragon[Isobel]> <comm> But we have no choice, do we? We have to end this.

[Charon] Adel, this is destiny, it is fate, complete it.

<Andrew`Pawlowski> No.

<Andrew`Pawlowski> Better go check that out though.

<Andrew`Pawlowski> Maybe it’s something important.

<Andrew`Pawlowski> Transfer the map to my suit.

<Charon[Adel]> <comm> Then we will... <The blade spins and is held at Charon's chest>

<Andrew`Pawlowski> [Computer] That goblin 2 thing cliff did right? [Andy] Yeah [Computer] ok

<Pendragon[Isobel]> <Comm> Yes. <Brings up the Tenchu to block the Charon's blade>

<Andrew`Pawlowski> <Heads out to the hanger to his suit then notices that Charon and Pendragon

are gone, suddenly his brain puts two and two together> OH SHIT!

<Andrew`Pawlowski> God damnit!

<Charon[Adel]> <The sword is drawn back slowly> <Comm> I'm sorry... <And then swung>

<Andrew`Pawlowski> Grah, whatever I have no time!

<Pendragon[Isobel]> No! <Brings up the sword again, sparks flying, melting the ice beneath them>

<Charon[Adel]> <Comm> What?

<Pendragon[Isobel]> <Rushes Charon, using the shield as a ram, knocking it backwards>

<Cliff_Hunter> <Looks up to see Andrew hop in the Goblin 2> <Comm> Andrew, where you going?

<Pendragon[Isobel]> <Comm> Are you sorry, Adel? Truly?

<Gobbie2[Andy]> <Comm> No time to explain, look around the hanger and tell me what’s missing

<Charon[Adel]> <Thrusts backwards, firing it's hyper vulcans> Yes...

<Cliff_Hunter> <Comm> Pendragon and Charon... They’re fighting a useless battle aren't they?

<Gobbie2[Andy]> <Heading to the location full speed, still seems slow to him>

<Gobbie2[Andy]> <Comm> Cliff, think about that.

<Cliff_Hunter> <Comm> Where are they going?

<Gobbie2[Andy]> <Comm> The arctic.

<Cliff_Hunter> <Comm> That far?! Hold on, I'm coming too.

<Gobbie2[Andy]> <Comm> Hold on? Catch up man!

<Pendragon[Isobel]> <Ducks behind the shield, then swings again at the Charon> <Comm> Adel,

I don't believe you. I'm sorry.

<Cliff_Hunter> <Hops down from Eins and runs to the main part of the hanger>

<Charon[Adel]> <Brings the Murakumo up to block causing sparks to fly again> <Comm> Why? I'm sorry I did what I did, I'm sorry I killed those people...What do I have to do to prove I'm sorry?

<Gobbie2[Andy]> <Comm> There’s no point in this Cliff, stay there. I can talk them out of it, I hope.

<Gobbie2[Andy]> <Comm> Not like we can fight those things

<Cliff_Hunter> <Comm> Hell, I can't follow you. All I have is a Leo with a flight pack- it's too far for it.

<Gobbie2[Andy]> <Comm> I'll keep you filled in, sir

<Cliff_Hunter> <Comm> Make sure you stop them from such a meaningless battle. As the leader of the Preventers, she shouldn't be so stupid.

<Pendragon[Isobel]> <Comm> I believe in that part, Adel. Will you be sorry when I'm dead and out of the way? <Presses forward, firing the cannons at Charon at close range>

<Gobbie2[Andy]> <Looks at the map> Almost there.

<Gobbie2[Andy]> <Comm> I know, Cliff.

<Charon[Adel]> <Raises it's own shield absorbing some of the shots, a few creating dents>

<Comm> Yes...I don't want to kill you...

<Cliff_Hunter> <Runs up to Trowa> Hey Trowa, could I borrow Heavyarms? <Weak smile>

[Trowa] ......

[Trowa] No.

<Cliff_Hunter> Damn..

[Trowa] Hratli busted the boosters anyway.

<Cliff_Hunter> Damn it...

[Trowa] Fricken idiot.

<Pendragon[Isobel]> <Comm> And I don't want to kill you!

[Pendragon] Yet you must. He is the final pawn.

<Gobbie2[Andy]> <Now sees Pendragon and Charon in the distance> I gotta stop this <Comm, open> STOP!

{Charon] Adel, keep the vow you made!

<Cliff_Hunter> <Looks around the hanger> Wait...

<Pendragon[Isobel]> <Screams as she presses forward the attack> <Comm, to Andrew> Stay out of this!

<Cliff_Hunter> <Runs to the control room and flips on the long-range comm>

<Charon[Adel]> <Fires the Grav Amps at the Pendragon’s head>

<Cliff_Hunter> <Comm, Pendragon> Isobel! What the hell are you doing'?!

Gobbie2[Andy]> <Comm , Isobel> Stay out? What THE HELL ARE YOU DOING??!!

<Gobbie2[Andy]> <Comm,openl> Why are you fighting!?

<Pendragon[Isobel]> <Comm, Andrew> I'm ending something that should have happened a long

time ago. Stay out of this, Andrew. Please.

<Cliff_Hunter> <Com, Pendragon> Damn it, answer me! What are you doing?!

<Gobbie2[Andy]> <Comm, open> We beat the Leviathan! We ended the war! This is pointless! Stop!

<Pendragon[Isobel]> <Comm, open> It's our fate. We can't escape it. This is the final chapter.

<Gobbie2[Andy]> <Comm, Isobel> Com-Isobel, I can't step out

<Gobbie2[Andy]> <Comm, open> Fate?

<Gobbie2[Andy]> <Comm, open> What is fate? Some fabled made up BS.

<Charon[Adel]> <Dashes forward, making a grab for Pendragons head>

<Pendragon[Isobel]> <Comm, Andy> I'll make it an order, Andrew. <Pulls back from Charon

slightly, then swings down again>

<Cliff_Hunter> <Comm, Pendragon> I can't believe as the leader of the Preventers you are doing something so stupid! And you were talking about how people should stay Preventers and not leave!

<Gobbie2[Andy]> <Comm, Isobel> And for once in my life, I won't obey the order.

<Pendragon[Isobel]> <Comm> Cliff, I have no choice!

<Cliff_Hunter> <Comm, Pendragon> This action is going to seal the fate or this organization! Did you think of that?

<Pendragon[Isobel]> <Dodges back, weaving, activating the Aura, pushing back Charon>

<Pendragon[Isobel]> <Comm> Cliff, you're in command now.

<Gobbie2[Andy]> <Comm, open> All because you listen to your suits AI’s!

<Charon[Adel]> <The blade makes a gash that leaves a scrape on the surface as Charon flies backwards, firing the Grav Amps, and hyper vulcans>

<Gobbie2[Andy]> <Comm, open> That’s gotta be it.

<Cliff_Hunter> <Comm, Pendragon> If you don't stop, I'll quit the Preventer’s.

<Gobbie2[Andy]> <Watches on helplessly>

<Pendragon[Isobel]> <Jets upwards, taking some damage, then boosts forward, swinging at the shoulder>

<Gobbie2[Andy]> <Comm, Cliff> This is pointless-they won't stop.

<Cliff_Hunter> <Comm, Pendragon> Did you hear me? I suppose you don't care what happens to the Preventer’s.

<Pendragon[Isobel]> <Comm> I have no choice. If you were in my position, you'd understand.

<Gobbie2[Andy]> <Com, Cliff> I guess I can try and engage.

<Cliff_Hunter> <Comm> Understand what?

<Charon[Adel]> <Turns the blade slashing by the Charon, makes another grab for the head>

<Gobbie2[Andy]> <Comm, Isobel> It’s so funny, you tell me not to take another life, to become something peaceful...an artist, yet you come fight.

<Pendragon[Isobel]> <Comm> The fate that was forced upon us by Nathan and Joshua.

<Cliff_Hunter> <Comm> Isobel, you and I both know that is bullshit.

<Gobbie2[Andy]> <Comm> You don't have to go through with it!

<Pendragon[Isobel]> <Swings the Tenchu again, aiming for the chest> <Comm> Andrew, I don't want to do this.

<Gobbie2[Andy]> <Comm> THEN WHY?

<Gobbie2[Andy]> <Fails to understand>

<Charon[Adel]> <The Tenchu connects but not before the Charon slashes with its own blade at the same area>

<Pendragon[Isobel]> <Comm> From the beginning we knew this was how it had to end...Nathan killed Joshua, we killed Leviathan. We're the-AH!-last ones to remain..

<Cliff_Hunter> <Comm> So what?

<Gobbie2[Andy]> <Comm> Big deal...

<Cliff_Hunter> <Com> It still makes no sense that more people should die.

<Gobbie2[Andy]> <Comm> You don't have to follow some stupid order.

<Gobbie2[Andy]> <Comm> The order of death even.

<Gobbie2[Andy]> <Comm> You’re not the end, just get out of the suits!

<Gobbie2[Andy]> <Comm> Set the self-destruct and get out!

<Gobbie2[Andy]> <Comm> The suits are the end, not the people inside.

<Pendragon[Isobel]> <Swings back again, then turns, slashing at the head> <Comm> It's too late...I'm sorry.

<Gobbie2[Andy]> <Comm> It’s never too late!

<Charon[Adel]> <Deflects the slash with the Murakumo sword and presses forwards with a rapid series of slashes.>

<Pendragon[Isobel]> <Comm> Andrew, Cliff...

<Gobbie2[Andy]> <Sighs>

<Cliff_Hunter> <Comm, Pendragon> You've doomed the Preventers <Comm, open> Due to the

actions of the FORMER Preventer Commander Isobel Steiner I am officially resigning from my

position.

<Pendragon[Isobel]> <Raises the Tenchu, warding off the attacks>

<Gobbie2[Andy]> <Thinks about firing his beam cannon, then it just falls to the ground>

<Gobbie2[Andy]> <Comm, Cliff> What?!

<Gobbie2[Andy]> <Comm, Cliff> Cliff, no!

<Cliff_Hunter> <Comm> You heard me.

<Gobbie2[Andy]> Well, isn't this just great for me.

<Charon[Adel]> <Continues slashing, now with both the sword and I-field shield>

<Pendragon[Isobel]> <Pivots, crouching, then swings upwards, into the lower cavity>

<Gobbie2[Andy]> Doesn't matter.

<Gobbie2[Andy]> <Comm, Cliff> Well, that’s great Cliff, thanks.

<Gobbie2[Andy]> <Comm, Cliff> Your commander does something stupid so you do something

stupid too.

<Gobbie2[Andy]> <Comm, Cliff> Maybe I'll just follow the leader.

<Charon[Adel]> <The Tenchu pierces the torso just as the Murakkumo is brought down vertically

to slice the Pendragon in half.>

<Pendragon[Isobel]> <Flares the Aura, biting into the Murakkumo, deflecting some of the damage>

<Gobbie2[Andy]> <Eyes grow wide watching the fight> It’s not gonna last.

<Cliff_Hunter> <Comm, Pendragon> Well, goodbye Isobel, since you took the cowards way out I've decided there is no reason for me to stay either. I'm going away with Sakura to settle down in my hometown.

<Pendragon[Isobel]> <Comm>........

<Cliff_Hunter> <Com, Pendragon> You've killed the Preventers, congratulations <Cuts the comm>

<Gobbie2[Andy]> <Comm, Isobel> Win god damn it. If I can't stop, you just fucking win.

<Charon[Adel]> <Pauses the blade before impact>

<Pendragon[Isobel]> <Comm, sobbing> I want to, Andrew...I want this to end...

<Charon[Adel]> <comm> Isobel...

<Pendragon[Isobel]> <Looks up at the Charon in surprise> <Comm> Adel?

<Gobbie2[Andy]> <Comm> Don't fall apart, Izzy.

<Gobbie2[Andy]> <Comm> Keep your mind on the fight.

<Charon[Adel]> <Comm> They're right...

<Pendragon[Isobel]> <Andrew notices that the battle has come to a halt>

<Pendragon[Isobel]> <comm> Who?

<Gobbie2[Andy]> What?

<Charon[Adel]> <Comm> We should just end this...I don't want to fight anymore...

<Cliff_Hunter> <Goes back to repairing Eins>

<Pendragon[Isobel]> <Straightens up, standing in front of the Charon> I...I want this to end as well.

<Gobbie2[Andy]> <Comm> Yes, end, end! No more fighting!

<Gobbie2[Andy]> <Comm> Just stop!

<Charon[Adel]> <Comm> Destroy the suits...

<Pendragon[Isobel]> <Comm> Set self-destruct and walk away?

<Gobbie2[Andy]> <Comm> YES!

<Charon[Adel]> <Comm> Yes.

<Gobbie2[Andy]> <Comm> Everybody lives we all go home happy, and try to talk Cliff into rejoining!

<Pendragon[Isobel]> <Comm> Agreed then. We set self-destruct and go on to rebuild.

<Keith_Triten> <blinks> Where'd everyone go?

[Charon] This is foolish Adel!

<Cliff_Hunter> <Yells from Eins> To kill each other!

[Pendragon] Let this end.

<Gobbie2[Andy]> <Comm> Hurry up before you change your fricken minds!

<Gobbie2[Andy]> <Comm> Don't let whatever the hell are in those suits talk to you anymore.

<Charon[Adel]> <The hatch of Charon opens and Adel appears>

[Charon] Adel reconsider! Do what you were born to do.

<Pendragon[Isobel]> <Opens the hatch, looking across to the Charon, seeing Adel>

[Pendragon] Good bye, Isobel.

[22:29] <Gobbie2[Andy]> Yes....

<Charon[Adel]> <Adel Smiles as he stands there>

<Pendragon[Isobel]> <Turns to look at the cockpit of the only Gundam she never thought she would pilot, then looks back at Adel> Let's do this.

<Charon[Adel]> <Nods and pulls out the detonation trigger when suddenly Charon lunges forward to grab Pendragon>

<Pendragon[Isobel]> <Sees the movement and screams in horror> No!

[Charon] Fool! I will do it for you!

<Gobbie2[Andy]> What the hell?!

<Gobbie2[Andy]> <Comm> Get off the suits!

<Charon[Adel]> <Grabs Isobel as the two Gundams collide. They fall from them and Charon begins to explode>

<Pendragon[Isobel]> <Andrew hears her scream over the comm>

<Gobbie2[Andy]> No...

<Gobbie2[Andy]> God your ass better not be on vacation, or I'm gonna come up there and kick it for you…

<Gobbie2[Andy]> <Watches the Charon start to explode >

<Charon[Adel]> <The Charon explodes in a firestorm that engulfs a wide area of the Arctic circle, the effects of the blast lighting the heavens>

<Gobbie2[Andy]> Oh, that’s so not fucking good.

<Gobbie2[Andy]> Christ…

<Gobbie2[Andy]> Its gonna be cold out there.

<Gobbie2[Andy]> <The suit comes closer to the scene, Andy jumps out, lands and takes off running/sliding on the fiery ice>

<Gobbie2[Andy]> <Frantically looks over everything, screams> Isobel! Adel!

<Gobbie2[Andy]> Stupid AI's <Mumbles>

<Gobbie2[Andy]> <Looking over everything, moving large scraps of metal> Come on, where are they?

<Gobbie2[Andy]> They can't die…

<Gobbie2[Andy]> God damn it.

<Andrew sees something under one large sliver of metal>

<Andrew`Pawlowski> There we go!

<Andrew`Pawlowski> <Runs over to the metal> Isobel? Adel?!

<Isobel_Steiner> <stirs slightly> <"An..">

<Andrew`Pawlowski> IZZY! <Attemps to move the metal>

<Isobel_Steiner> <Coughs slightly, blood appearing at the corner of her mouth>

<Keith_Triten> So, where DID everyone go?

<Andrew`Pawlowski> <He moves the suit back to the area, easy to find them from the infrared, moves the metal scrap off of Izzy, then moves the scrap off of Adel>

<Cliff_Hunter> Didn't you hear me the first time?

<Keith_Triten>Yeah, but where?

<Andrew`Pawlowski> <Jumps back out of the suit>

<Adel_Arikale> <Is on his stomach blood running from his mouth and forehead>

<Andrew`Pawlowski> Jesus christ…

<Cliff_Hunter> The Arctic Circle.

<Andrew`Pawlowski> <Kneels beside Izzy> Hey, you alive?

<Keith_Triten> <Right away, he's off running towards his Phantom>

<Cliff_Hunter> Where you going?

<Keith_Triten> Damn, the fickin' war's over..

<Keith_Triten> Where else!?

<Cliff_Hunter> Ok, have fun.

<Isobel_Steiner> <Stirs, opening her eyes briefly> An...d.y?

<Keith_Triten> <Climbing up, he gets into the cockpit>

<Cliff_Hunter> <Has been drinking heavily ever since he cut the comm>

<Andrew`Pawlowski> <nods> Yeah, yeah.

<Phantom[Keith]> <Walks out the hangar, and flies off to the arctic circle at top speed>

<Andrew`Pawlowski> <Thinks>Damn, how am I going to do this?

<Phantom[Keith]> <Comm> Damn it, the f'ing war's over, why are you still fighting!?

<Andrew`Pawlowski> You’re gonna be fine, Izzy

<Phantom[Keith]> <Hopes for a response>

<Phantom[Keith]> <Comm> YOU HEAR ME!?

<Andrew`Pawlowski> <Looks up and yells> Adel, you alive?

<Isobel_Steiner> <More blood dribbles down her cheek> A..de..ell...

<Phantom[Keith]> *Sigh*... <Applies the emergency boosters>

<Phantom[Keith]> HOLY SHIT!

<Adel_Arikale> <Hand clenches around around the handle of something...a knife>

<Andrew`Pawlowski> <Sits Isobel up> Hang in there, okay ?

<Isobel_Steiner> <Cries out in pain> Ahhh!

<Phantom[Keith]> <Goes a bit slower>

<Phantom[Keith]> <Checks the map> Wow, nearly there..

<Andrew`Pawlowski> Ack, sorry!

<Phantom[Keith]> <Comm> Damn it, can anyone hear me?

<Andrew`Pawlowski> Just hold on.

<Adel_Arikale> <Coughs a bit, blood visibly coming from his mouth, the hand clenched around

the knife as if it would reassure him.>

<Isobel_Steiner> <Sags against Andrew>

<Andrew`Pawlowski> <Hears the comm coming from his suit, but doesn't care enough to leave the injured to respond>

<Phantom[Keith]> *sigh*, <Locks on to their signatures>

<Andrew`Pawlowski> Izzy? Say something.

<Phantom[Keith]> <His Phantom is heard far off>

<Phantom[Keith]> Aha...

<Isobel_Steiner> <Blinks, looking up at him> An..d..dee?

<Phantom[Keith]> <Lands on the snow, skidding along the surface> <Thinks: Too fast.>

<Phantom[Keith]> <Comes to a stop, then the suit walks over to them>

<Andrew`Pawlowski> Yeah, hang in there, please Izzy.

<Phantom[Keith]> <Climbs off>

<Andrew`Pawlowski> You can't die on me…err us…

<Keith_Triten> WHAT THE HELL!? <Looking at the landscape>

<Adel_Arikale> <Is still on the ground, he coughs again and blinks.>

<Andrew`Pawlowski> KEITH?!

<Keith_Triten> <Runs up to Andrew>

<Keith_Triten> What the hell happened here!?

<Andrew`Pawlowski> Get to Adel, god damn it!

<Andrew`Pawlowski> We need to help them!

<Keith_Triten> <Nods>

<Keith_Triten> <Spots Adel, and runs up to him>

<Keith_Triten> Damn, you're busted up…

<Keith_Triten> <Helps him up>

<Andrew`Pawlowski> Careful!

<Keith_Triten> <Nods>

<Isobel_Steiner> <Smiles weakly> I...emm...sor...ree...

<Adel_Arikale> <Groans in pain and coughs up blood again>

<Keith_Triten> Damn, you two fought again?

<Andrew`Pawlowski> Don't be sorry.

<Keith_Triten> <Brings him next to Isobel> Look at this..

<Keith_Triten> *sigh*

<Andrew`Pawlowski> I know.

<Keith_Triten> Isobel, Adel, please, don't you two die.

<Andrew`Pawlowski> Hang on, god damn it.

<Keith_Triten> Come on, let's take them back.

<Andrew`Pawlowski> <Knows how much this is going to hurt Izzy> I'm sorry.

<Andrew`Pawlowski> <Picks her up>

<Keith_Triten> <Rides the zipcord to the top, lets Adel inside>

<Andrew`Pawlowski> <Heads back to his suit>

<Keith_Triten> <Sits down in the seat, Adel comfily laid down in the luggage compartment behind

the seat>

<Phantom[Keith]> <Comm> Alright, let's head back

<Adel_Arikale> <Coughs some more he still clutches the knife.>

<Phantom[Keith]> <The Phantom takes off, heading back to Rome> Adel, you had better not die.

<Andrew`Pawlowski> <Manages to get in the suit, Izzy laying across his lap>

<Isobel_Steiner> <Passes out from the pain>

<Gobbie2[Andy]> <Looks down at Izzy> You gotta live, you’re too important.

<Phantom[Keith]> Adel, you should learn when to stop fighting, seriously.

<Gobbie2[Andy]> <Comm ,AMK base> Anybody Listen to me we need medics ready in the hanger now!

<Gobbie2[Andy]> <Comm, AMK> CLIFF, ANYBODY, RESPOND GOD DAMNIT

<Cliff_Hunter> <Comm> Hello

<Gobbie2[Andy]> <Comm> Cliff!!!!! They stopped fighting!

<Gobbie2[Andy]> <Comm> But they're hurt.

<Cliff_Hunter> <Comm> Alright I'll alert the med teams

<Gobbie2[Andy]> <Comm> Bad. Get some medics in the hanger!

<Isobel_Steiner> <Blood drips down onto Andrew's flight suit>

<Cliff_Hunter> <Alerts the Med teams and they are ready in the hanger> <Comm> Anything else?

<Phantom[Keith]> <Lands>

<Keith_Triten> <Picks up Adel and brings him down>

<Gobbie2[Andy]> Just hang in there...please

<Cliff_Hunter> [Medics] <Yank Adel and take him to the Med ward>

<Keith_Triten> *whew*.

<Adel_Arikale> <bleeds from almost everywhere.>

<Gobbie2[Andy]> <Lands a short while after, exits the suit carefully with Izzy>

<Keith_Triten> <Runs up to Isobel and Andrew>

<Keith_Triten> How is she? <Extremely worried>

<Cliff_Hunter> [Medics] <Yank Isobel and take her to the Med ward>

<Keith_Triten> <Runs along with the medics>

<Andrew`Pawlowski> <Sighs, teary eyed>

<Andrew`Pawlowski> <Flight suit stained with Izzy's blood>

<Andrew`Pawlowski> <Shivering from spending time in the arctic>

<Cliff_Hunter> Millions of peaches , peaches for me.... <Continues to work on Eins>

<A while later, after they’re bandaged up…>

<Keith_Triten> <Standing by Isobel, tears going down his cheeks> Come on.. survive..

<Andrew`Pawlowski> <Wishing he was spider man, finally manages to get some words out>

<Andrew`Pawlowski> Damn

<Andrew`Pawlowski> Damn damn damn damn damn

<Keith_Triten> You're all bandaged up now.

<Keith_Triten> <Kneels down by the bed, in tears> Please.

<Cliff_Hunter> ....millions of peaches, peaches for free....

<Andrew`Pawlowski> <Makes his way to the med ward>

<Andrew`Pawlowski> <Looks at Izzy lying there in the bed beyond hurt, and then at Adel>

<Andrew`Pawlowski> ...those..AI's…

<Keith_Triten> Isobel, please..I've been hurt worse..

<Andrew`Pawlowski> <Shakes his head>

<Keith_Triten> <Thinks: Concussions.. broken bones.. o_o>

<Keith_Triten> <Thinks: Internal injuries.....>

<Adel_Arikale> <head lol’s to the side>

<Cliff_Hunter> <Walking to the med ward> Peaches come from a can, they were put there by a

man, in a factory down toowwwnnnn..... <Enters the med ward>

<Keith_Triten> You're made of stronger stuff, I just know you're going to live..

<Keith_Triten> Please.

<Andrew`Pawlowski> <walks over to Adels bed>

<Andrew`Pawlowski> I don't know if you can hear me bud, but thanks.

<Keith_Triten> <Holds Isobel's hand, crying>

<Cliff_Hunter> ...If I had my little way, I'd eat peaches every day..... <Walks up to Andy and Keith> How they doing?

<Andrew`Pawlowski> <Shakes his head>

<Keith_Triten> <Too busy crying, not hearing Cliff>

<Andrew`Pawlowski> They gotta pull through

<Cliff_Hunter> Not good huh?

<Andrew`Pawlowski> Good people man

<Keith_Triten> She's been.. such.. *sniff* A good friend.. Please, Isobel, come on..

<Andrew`Pawlowski> <Nods> I know the feeling Keith

<Keith_Triten> You've helped me so much. So.. so much.

<Cliff_Hunter> Yep <Takes a swig from a silver flask>

<Andrew`Pawlowski> Cliff?

<Cliff_Hunter> Yeah?

<Andrew`Pawlowski> What the hell is wrong with you?

<Keith_Triten> Through bad times, especially after Kat died... then you saved my life.

<Andrew`Pawlowski> <Maybe its the days events but he’s ready to snap>

<Cliff_Hunter> Me? I'm drunk.

<Andrew`Pawlowski> Get the hell out of here. Just get the hell out of here. Go be piss drunk in the hanger and paint more suits. Maybe you don't know how much its hurting Keith and I to see our friends like this. Or maybe you do and don't care

<Cliff_Hunter> <Puts the flask back in his vest> I know how you feel. You think I want to her to die?

<Keith_Triten> Come on…please…the f'ing war's over, and you two go and do THIS?

<Andrew`Pawlowski> <Tears rolling down his cheek> I'm glad, XO.

<Cliff_Hunter> See?

<Andrew`Pawlowski> Keith, give it a rest man. Just give her some space

<Keith_Triten> <Catching some breath>

<Andrew`Pawlowski> And thank you for coming out.

<Keith_Triten> N-No...problem.

<Andrew`Pawlowski> Without you, they'd both be gone now.

<Keith_Triten> <Nods>

<Andrew`Pawlowski> <Sits in a chair by the bed>

<Isobel_Steiner> <Takes in a deep breath, opening her eyes slightly, blinking>

<Andrew`Pawlowski> At least they stopped fighting.

<Cliff_Hunter> Well, I better get to work on my letter of resignation

<Andrew`Pawlowski> <Looks at Cliff> Yeah…

<Keith_Triten> Y-you're awake!

<Andrew`Pawlowski> Huh?

<Andrew`Pawlowski> <Looks back to Izzy>

<Cliff_Hunter> <To himself> Although, maybe it would be better to wait until my buzz wears off…

<Adel_Arikale> <Adel's eyes also slowly open.>

<Isobel_Steiner> <Blinks slowly, eyes vague and unfocused>

<Andrew`Pawlowski> Izzy, can you hear me?

<Cliff_Hunter> <Leans against the wall opposite Isobel's bed>

<Keith_Triten> <Holding Isobel's hand> You're going to survive.

<Isobel_Steiner> <Swallows, still blinking, looking around slowly>

<Adel_Arikale> <Head begins to turn back up, his eyes also unfocused.>

<Keith_Triten> <Sobbing>

<Isobel_Steiner> A...ahd..ell...

<Andrew`Pawlowski> <Watches them both, thinks: Come on guys, pull through>

<Cliff_Hunter> Keith, that won't help. Just try to calm down.

<Keith_Triten> Sh-Shut... up…

<Andrew`Pawlowski> He’s right. Calm down

<Isobel_Steiner> <Curls her fingers around Keith's hand>

<Adel_Arikale> <Can't seem to speak, his mouth remains closed>

<Isobel_Steiner> <Turns her head slowly to one side, looking up> Ke..eyth?

<Keith_Triten> Yeah.. it's me.

<Cliff_Hunter> I'll be right back <Heads to the control room>

<Isobel_Steiner> Don't..cry...

<Andrew`Pawlowski> Don't cry? Kind of hard not too, Izzy.

<Keith_Triten> Sorry, It's that...

<Keith_Triten> *sniff*

<Isobel_Steiner> I..em..sor..ree..

<Samantha_Lang> <Sitting home, cannot seem to shake this growing emptiness inside of her>

<Andrew`Pawlowski> Its okay…you stopped.

<Keith_Triten> Please…don't die.

<Andrew`Pawlowski> Nothing to be sorry for.

<Keith_Triten> PLEASE!

<Andrew`Pawlowski> Just stay alive, both of you.

<Cliff_Hunter> <Flips the long range Comm on> <Com, Preventer Freq.> All people who still

consider yourselves Preventers, come to these coordinates <Gives the coordinates of the Italy AMK

base> The entrance to the hanger is through the lake.

<Samantha_Lang> <Looks to the Comm sitting on the desk... still turned on>

<Cliff_Hunter> <Sends the Comm out three more times before cutting it off>

<Samantha_Lang> No…

<Samantha_Lang> <Tears in her eyes> Isobel...

<Tyson_Lang> <Stands outside, behind the house>

<Samantha_Lang> <Runs to Tyson> TYSON!!

<Samantha_Lang> We need to go...

<Tyson_Lang> <Turns> What's wrong?

<Samantha_Lang> Isobel...

<Tyson_Lang> Where?

<Samantha_Lang> Italy... <Gives him the coordinates>

<Tyson_Lang> Yes...let's...

<Isobel_Steiner> <Smiles slightly, grimacing in pain> Stu...pid...of..me...

<Cliff_Hunter> <Heads back to the med ward and leans against the wall>

<Keith_Triten> Come on…don't die on me... please.

<Isobel_Steiner> ...jus...wan..ted..to..end..the..cy..cle..

<Keith_Triten> You could've just self-detonated those god-damn suits. It was so simple. But no,

you two had to duke it out.

<Andrew`Pawlowski> They did. They stopped. Charon acted on its own

<Keith_Triten> Isobel, come on.. please...

<Adel_Arikale> <Hand clenches tighter on the knife>

<Samantha_Lang> <Takes his hand> Come on...

<Keith_Triten> ISOBEL!!

<Isobel_Steiner> <Opens her eyes, looking at him fuzzily> Wha...?

<Andrew`Pawlowski> Let her rest, Keith.

<Andrew`Pawlowski> For gods sake she was crushed by huge pieces of metal. Let her rest

<Keith_Triten> <Nods, and sits down on the chair>

<Isobel_Steiner> Ah..dell..wher..is..he?

<Keith_Triten> <Shaking uncontrollably> Over…th-th-there.

<Andrew`Pawlowski> Right next to you.

<Keith_Triten> <Points at a bed to Isobel's left>

<Adel_Arikale> <Adel's head slowly droops to the side, his eyes unable to remain focused>

<Isobel_Steiner> <Turns her head slowly to look at Adel> It's...ov..er...

<Tyson_Lang> <Crosses the hangar of the AMK base>

<Keith_Triten> <Nods> No more fighting.

<Andrew`Pawlowski> Yeah, you guys did the right thing. I couldn't watch you kill each other, It would have killed me in the process.

<Keith_Triten> Please, Isobel, somehow, live…

<Adel_Arikale> <Smiles with what seems to be his last ounce of strength as his heart slowly

begins to shut down, his brain also shutting down his body piece by piece>

<Tyson_Lang> <Wlking down a corridor> Somebody...?

<Isobel_Steiner> <Nods slowly> I…know…

<Samantha_Lang> <Uses her motherly intuition to find the room, brushing past and ignoring all those in her way>

<Tyson_Lang> <Follows>

<Adel_Arikale> Go...good...b…bye....

<Andrew`Pawlowski> Adel? <Turns to his bed> Don't die on us!

<Tyson_Lang> <Looks around> What the hell...?

<Cliff_Hunter> What the hell indeed…

<Samantha_Lang> <Just in time to see Adel's heart monitor flat line>

<Andrew`Pawlowski> [Doctors] <Rush to the bed and try to jump Adel's heart>

<Tyson_Lang> What happened?

<Keith_Triten> <Crying uncontrollably, fearing the worst>

<Samantha_Lang> <Looks at the whole scene, speechless>

<Isobel_Steiner> <Tears start to fall down her face, dripping down onto the bed> A..adel..?

<Keith_Triten> He's dead.

<Samantha_Lang> <Is actually grateful at her tears, for it shows he is dead>

<Andrew`Pawlowski> [Doctor] <Takes the heart monitor off Adel and pull a sheet over him>

<Andrew`Pawlowski> Damn it

<Adel_Arikale> <No psychic scream of anguish, no anger at the world merely...emptiness fills the

minds of psychics, then a slight acceptance, for in his last moments, Adel was finally human.>

<Andrew`Pawlowski> <Sighs, looks totally washed out, no energy left, still in his sweat/blood stained flight suit>

<Keith_Triten> Come on, you're made of stronger stuff, I've been through worse

<Samantha_Lang> <Turns toward the morbid scene; bows head respectfully>

<Isobel_Steiner> A..adel? No…

<Andrew`Pawlowski> I'm sorry, Isobel.

<Cliff_Hunter> <Shakes his head> What a day...

<Isobel_Steiner> <Looks back over at Andrew> He...saved..me..

<Keith_Triten> <Nods>

<Andrew`Pawlowski> I know, I saw.

<Samantha_Lang> <Opens mouth to say words of comfort, but no such words flow>

<Isobel_Steiner> Whu...why...?

<Andrew`Pawlowski> Because he was a good human being, that’s why.

<Keith_Triten> <Nods> <Unable to speak from all the crying>

<Andrew`Pawlowski> He might have made some mistakes, but he’s more then made up for it.

<Samantha_Lang> <Smiles, steps into the room> He didn't mind dying... for his life had come full circle... <Smiles>

<Adel_Arikale> <As it is, someone arrives there unexpected, a scientist by the looks of it.>

<Isobel_Steiner>Cha...ron…could…not…accept...fail…failure…

<Tyson_Lang> <Tenatively steps forward>

<Keith_Triten> <Nods>

<Andrew`Pawlowski> It couldn't accept that Adel broke its control.

<Samantha_Lang> <Stands, knowing her words will not brighten the situation, for she was not a soldier>

<Isobel_Steiner> And...now…he...he's dea...dead...be…because...of…me...

<Keith_Triten> No, it's not your fault.

<Andrew`Pawlowski> <Shakes his head> No.

<Cliff_Hunter> No, not because of you.

<Keith_Triten> <Calming down a bit>

<Cliff_Hunter> He would have died at the hands of Charon, Leviathan, or someone else.

<Adel_Arikale> <The figure goes over to Adel’s body and places a hand upon the head.>

<Cliff_Hunter> You were just the pilot of Charon's rival.

<Isobel_Steiner> Pen...dra..gon..and..me...

<Andrew`Pawlowski> Its over.

<Keith_Triten> Just rest.

<Andrew`Pawlowski> Don't blame yourself.

<Cliff_Hunter> It was Pendragon pushing you to fight, it's not your fault.

<Keith_Triten> <Hyperventalating>

<Andrew`Pawlowski> Keith, go get some air man.

<Samantha_Lang> <Walks over to Keith> Sh...

<Samantha_Lang> He's resting... she'll be alright...

<Isobel_Steiner> <Tears still coming down her cheeks>..too..late...

<Keith_Triten> ....<looks back at Isobel> Too late? n-no..

<Keith_Triten> Please, don't...

<Isobel_Steiner> <Hears Samantha's voice> Sa..man..tha?

<Cliff_Hunter> <A doctor walks in>

Andrew`Pawlowski> Don't give up on us, we need you around here.

<Samantha_Lang> <Takes her hand> I'm here. <Is surprisigly calm in this stressful time>

<Isobel_Steiner> <Tries to focus on her face> Did..Ty...son..give...you...the...lock..et?

<Samantha_Lang> <Nods> He did...

<Isobel_Steiner> <Smiles, eyes closing> Good...

<Cliff_Hunter> [Doctor] If she gets some rest she will make a full recovery.

<Keith_Triten> ...Don't…die…

<Keith_Triten> <Shakes his head, tears flowing down, classic anime-style, almost..>

<Samantha_Lang> <Looks to her> I will... but please...

<Samantha_Lang> <Gestures to Tyson> Tyson's here.

<Tyson_Lang> <Steps forward>

<Isobel_Steiner> <Sighs softly>

<Adel_Arikale> <Adel's body is removed from the room after the scientist speaks with a doctor.>

<Andrew`Pawlowski> <Has taken to silent prayer>

<Samantha_Lang> <Squeezes her hand, trying to give her some of her life>

<Isobel_Steiner> Sam...

<Samantha_Lang> Hm?

<Isobel_Steiner> I...I'm...sorry...

<Samantha_Lang> <Shakes head> Don't be... there is nothing to be sorry for.

<Samantha_Lang> You have been my friend, Isobel... and have sacrificed so much...

<Keith_Triten> <His tears stop flowing, his eyes blood-red>

<Samantha_Lang> <Shakes head> No... don't be... please...

<Isobel_Steiner> Don't...tell him..okay?

<Samantha_Lang> I won't tell him, Isobel... but I think you'd like to talk to him...

<Tyson_Lang> <Eyes widen> Tell me what...?

<Andrew`Pawlowski> <Leaves the room>

<Keith_Triten> <Spaces out, looking very miserable>

<Isobel_Steiner> No...<Shakes head>...wha...good...would...that..do...?

<Samantha_Lang> I think he'd like to know... I'll be right over here... <Backs away>

<Tyson_Lang> <Steps closer> Com-..Isobel.

<Isobel_Steiner> <Turns away slightly, looking very frail>

<Keith_Triten> <Blinks>

<Keith_Triten> I-I-I-Isobel.

<Isobel_Steiner> <Turns her head back, blinking> Wha-?

<Cliff_Hunter> <Walks out of the room> <"Isobel, well goodbye, live or die this is probably the

last time I'll see you">

<Andrew`Pawlowski> <Standing against the wall outside the med bay> You leaving Cliff?

<Cliff_Hunter> I'm getting back to work on Eins.

<Isobel_Steiner> <Her eyes shift, following Cliff's departure> <"Goodbye, Cliff.">

<Andrew`Pawlowski> After that.

<Cliff_Hunter> I'll leave when Sakura is ready

<Andrew`Pawlowski> <Nods> Alright, sir. Been a pleasure working for you

<Cliff_Hunter> Yeah.

<Cliff_Hunter> <Goes back to the hanger> <Climbs back up on Eins and starts working on it

again>

<Keith_Triten> <Thinks: <<His thought sounding very, very stressed-out>> You were... such a

good.. friend... Thank you for being there when I was in my worst moments. I really appreciated it

I'll.. miss you.>

<Andrew`Pawlowski> <Is lost in his own thoughts outside the room, thinks:"You did all you

could, just stop worrying and wait it out>

<Isobel_Steiner> <Looks up at Tyson> I...

<Tyson_Lang> <Looks down>

<Isobel_Steiner> I..<Closes her eyes>

<Keith_Triten> <Thinks: See you on the other side after a few years, I guess.>

<Tyson_Lang> Don't try to talk...rest. We can talk about it when you're out of here.

<Isobel_Steiner> No...

<Keith_Triten> <Stands up, and slowly staggers out of the room>

<Andrew`Pawlowski> <Looks over> Hey Keith.

<Keith_Triten> H-hey. <Leans on the wall>

<Andrew`Pawlowski> Wish I would have been there sooner

<Isobel_Steiner> Got...to..tell..you...else..Sa..sam..would..get...mad..

<Tyson_Lang> <Leans closer> Tell me what...?

<Samantha_Lang> <Smiles dryly to herself as tears flow down her face>

<Keith_Triten> <Sits down on the floor>

<Isobel_Steiner> I...care...about...you..

<Andrew`Pawlowski> Everythings gonna be fine.

<Keith_Triten> <nods, barely acknowledging him>

<Tyson_Lang> I...

<Andrew`Pawlowski> Hey man. Pull yourself together. You have a woman you need to talk to

soon.

<Isobel_Steiner> <Closes her eyes again> There...that..should..make...her..happy..

<Keith_Triten> Y-yeah... but this was.. unexpected.

<Andrew`Pawlowski> Isobel will pull through. I know

<Keith_Triten> .....Are you sure?

<Andrew`Pawlowski> I saw it happen. I found them.

<Keith_Triten> <Head between his knees>

<Andrew`Pawlowski> I know it was unexpected. But we can only hope and pray now. And move

on.

<Keith_Triten> <nods>

<Andrew`Pawlowski> She'll pull through she has too, the Prev’s are gone otherwise.

<Keith_Triten> Y-yeah.

<Keith_Triten> W-w-what.. now..

<Andrew`Pawlowski> We wait

<Keith_Triten> <nods>

<Tyson_Lang> <Closes his eyes>

<Tyson_Lang> I didn't...

<Isobel_Steiner> It's...okay...

<Tyson_Lang> ...you..
