...x.......................x.................x.... ..................x...........no.....I'm...too late.....
Even from this position, Marcus could see the long rows of tubes but their control panels in front of them clearly displayed the shapes Twilight was talking about. Walking over to the next one, he saw another "x". And another. And another. ...come on...SOMEONE has to still be alive...x...x...o...x...wait...o?!? Marcus then walked over to the tube that he nearly overlooked...and was greeted with a sight. Whoever was in the tube, she was...beautiful. Marcus couldn't tell what her clothes looked like too well since the blue-ish water inside made seeing her difficult but he noted her long green hair tied in a ponytale. Another thing he noted was that the tank she was in looked...slightly bigger and newer than the other ones. For some reason, Marcus was in a trance as he stared at her... "...uh...T-Twilight?..." |

A few hours ago...
After the battle with Zanji, he headed through the large number of tubes. He took a special path and headed into an elevator far from the usual path. The boy took it and pressed the up button. The contraption took him several floors up until it eventually halted on somewhere near the top floors. Ein hopped out into a dark room. A figure was sitting in front of the elevator, twirling a key chain around on his left hand. " That took you long enough. " the figure said. " I'm sorry but that robot failed to recognize me. I'll try to be faster next time. " He knelt down in front of the figure. " That's alright. We all make mistakes. " The figure stepped out of the shadows. His face similar to Ein with the exemption of his long blond hair and his height. He looked like as how the current Ein would if he was a bit older.

"Mr. Ben. Do you know who she is?...and if there's a way to free her? For some reason, I think there's some fancy security system around this tank since it looks...newer and bigger than the other container units here..." |

Ben shrugged, and said in his electronically modulated voice, "She must have b-b-been added after I tore out MEMORY ERROR's brain. I don't recognize her. As for locks... I wouldn't know. Maybe I changed the lock after the giant rabbit attacked me." Jenny rolled her eyes. "I can't believe I suggested we trust this rustbucket. Move. I'll deal with the lock." She grabbed the sonic screwdriver out of her pocket, fiddled with it, and pointed it at the tube. It buzzed. She fiddled with it some more. It buzzed. She continued fiddling, it continued buzzing. After some time, the tube hissed, and popped open. Jenny smirked. "Still got it. Nothing less than a double deadlock will keep my baby out." She pocketed her screwdriver.

The women herself suddenly dropped to the ground where the tube used to be and Marcus began checking her over. As he did, he also noted that she was around his age or teens but she looked small for a female...5'3" if he had to guess compared to his 6'0" height. She also wore basic but somewhat old fashioned red shirt, pants though she wore green sneakers. And even here lightweight armor was green much like her ponytail green hair and eyes. "...come on...come on...breath!" Just as Marcus was planning to give CPR, the female coughed up water, taking in some much needed oxygen. Still on the ground, Marcus helped her into a sitting position and let her lean on himself. "...hang on...you'll be fine...", Marcus said, trying his best to comfort her and well and not blushing. "...w-wh...where...am I?", she asked. "...I'm...not quite sure myself...but it's safe to assume it's a "Heartless" base of some sort." "...no...th-then...they got me..." She looked to be taking this harder than himself. Marcus then decided to do his best to cheer her up. "...don't worry though...I don't think you got "the mark" on your chest...I don't know why but I think they didn't drain you of all your energy..." The female then held up her left hand...mumbled a few words...and some form of magical energy began forming in her palm. "...well...at least I can still use my magics but I do feel a bit weak...I might not be able to m...nevermind..." "No no it's alright. I understand", Marcus said, noting that she was trying to avoid a possibly sensitive topic. Then he realized that he hadn't introduced himself. "By the way, I'm Marcus Stiles and I'm with the HEARTS medical division." "...Hearts?...oh so your a keyblader?", she asked. "...well...I was...but I got the mark on my chest..." "...oh I see...I'm sorry. I only wish there was a way I can fix that but I don't think I have the strength currently...oh I'm sorry I haven't introduced myself." "You don't have to. I mean, you just woke up and I'm surprised that you don't think were just spie-" "No no...I can tell...you have a kind heart...as for me..." She then was able to get up on her own. Marcus soon got up as well. She then spoke. "...My name is Terra Branford...and are these other people your friends?", she asked, looking at the others. (OOC: For those who don't know, Terra is a Final Fantasy 6 character.) |
