[color=00a651][b]"What a shitty day."[/b][/color] The Combat Pilot sighed. Was he a survivor? Or just a coward? Though, honestly, cowards turned out to be survivor's more often than heroes. What was he supposed to do? Stay inside his [i]Knight Arms[/i] until the moment it sustained so much damage that even the Nanomachines couldn't do any more miracles? Yeah, maybe... hell no. He had a family to return to. Sure, he might have triggered this or that deathflag BUT who believed in stuff like that anyways? Right, only an idiot!

Taking another swig from his cigar, he sighed. Despite not believing in such bullshit as fate and whatever he couldn't deny it was a miracle that he made it safely onboard their oh-so great Battlefortress and, even more so, managed to survive until now! It was actually rather surprising how easily some of those demons and angels died through a well-placed shot of his Qual-Support Revolver V.72.X, though, ultimately, ammo was still a thing and that he only had one more shot left didn't make it any easier.

Shaking his head in disbelief he stopped for a second. The Bridge was surely out of question and considering they were under the motherfucking earth right now he couldn't do with any of the escape pods either. Jeez, was he seriously trapped in there? Maybe his best bet of action would be the living quarters and hiding inside some cabinet? All the Pilot Guy wanted to do was survive, triggering even more death flags by swearing to himself that he would spend way more time with his daughter after this was over. Whatever the ca- [color=00a651][b]"Shit."[/b][/color]

He could only hope that it wasn't too late as he felt the presence of [i]somebody[/i] approaching, he had to think quick. One bullet, how many enemies? The only course of action was probably...more cowadrice! Dropping the cigarette on the ground he simply put himself onto the ground, to the side of a wall, as quietly as possible. Heck, thanks to his more-or-less broken Combat Visor he didn't have to close his eyes for the sake of playing dead![hr]

[i]Where was it?[/i]
[i]Where was it?[/i]
[i]Where was it?[/i]

With each passing second, each passing moment, the unnatural silence inside the steel-clad giant became quieter and quieter. Suyi didn't know how much time she had left to accomplish her goal. Despite the circumstances and the corrupted abominations that kinda seemed to be on their side any enemy she had met so far was fighting until their death. Or, at least, gave her enough of an fight that [i]not killing them[/i] was not an option. Of course, Suyiketsu didn't have the tiniest bit of a bad conscience as she slaughtered those weaker than her, she wasn't that pathetic, but the Oni Princess still knew it was probably not right. Though, ultimately, for her goals she just needed somebody to answer her some questions.

Thinking more logically about it the first obvious choice for any kind of super secret weapon, that for whatever reason wasn't used to decide the outcome of this battle, was probably the cargo hold, being cargo and all, however [i]hiding[/i] it in such an obvious place also sounded utterly retarded. Something more secure, a special location, was the place Suyi had to find, a location only known to the higher ups probably. That, ultimately, left the white-hair only with the option to just check out the cargo bay or find one of such bigshots and take him hostage. But maybe, just maybe, somebody was so stupid to think 'You can hide a tree inside the forest' and the weapon was really inside the cargo bay! Though, in that case chances are that it was most likely also compromised by now.

Still, wherever the weapon was didn't ultimately matter as long as she couldn't find it. Just why couldn't there be a map with a big "You are here" dot just somewhere? Continuing her way while thinking about a better alternative, the Oni suddenly stopped. Something smelled... wrong. Despite the damage the Elicitor took she traversed more unbroken parts right now. So why was it that suddenly, the odor of smoke similar to their Smoke Pipes back home entered her nose? Turning around curiously, the Oni was about to find out as a single Bullet connected with the side of her head.[hr][color=00a651][b]"Phew, close one. Damn addiction, literally nearly killing me in unexpected ways."[/b][/color] Were the words Suyi heard as she stumbled a few feet back. [i]She got shot.[/i] If it had been something [i]special,[/i] who knew what would have happened? Alas, the revolver bullet simply stopped as it made contact with their even more resilient bone-structure, simply dropping to the ground considering the skin wasn't that thick around the skull.

[color=00a651][b]"E-Eeehh? F-"[/b][/color] Of course, Pilot Guy wasn't that much of a mook that he actually managed to notice the sound, allowing him to barely dodge the oncoming sword strike by pure instinct. [color=00a651][b]"I GIVE UP!"[/b][/color] He yelled before his buttocks even reached the ground. It was a desperate attempt, really, but the only choice he had left.
[color=00a651]
[b]"...?"[/b][/color] Realizing he was actually still alive, the cold steel only pressing against his throat and his empty gun taken from him in quick fashion, it could only mean the horned humanoid demon showed him mercy! Whooo! Breathing in relief he spoke up. [color=00a651][b]"You demon's sure are fast."[/b][/color][hr][b]"Shut up and only speak when I ask of you. If you value your life, human."[/b] Suyi responded cold, her wound already closing. Realizing he didn't say a word and apparently waited for more input, the Oni Princess continued. [b]"Do you know where that secret weapon of yours is?"[/b]
[color=00a651]
[b]"No."[/b][/color]
[b]"And you're not lying because?"[/b] She pressed the blade closer to his throat.
[color=00a651][b]"Because 'I value my l-' Owh owh owh owh! Stop! I need my neck! Yeah, look. Do you really think they would tell a nobody like me? I mean, it's supposed to be secret and all, so if everybody and their mother knew where the heck this weapon was, neither Angels nor Demons would have a problem finding it, isn't that so?"[/b][/color]

He... wasn't wrong, and Suyiketsu didn't feel like he was lying, which was good enough for her. Still... .[b]"You do know where the cargo-bay is, right?"[/b] - [color=00a651][b]"Yup."[/b][/color] - [b]"Then tell me."[/b] - [color=00a651][b]"Sure! Just let me tell you so I lose all my value as an hostage and you can just kill me! Though, then again, you could just kill me the moment you arrive there... ."[/b][/color] - [b]"Do you even realize the situation you are in? Stop talking to me so casually and just spill it out!"[/b] She sighed, even if he didn't tell her she wasn't planning on killing him. Yeah, this whole hostage-business was more annoying than she thought. [b]"Look, you ha-"[/b] - [color=00a651][b]"Watch out!"[/b][/color] Without hesitation, the pilot guy pointed behind her, the Oni's eyes following his finger just to see [@Pyromania99] a what looked like another one of the Machina's fighters.

This one, however, followed by no means any standard regulations in terms of dress-code, meaning she was probably more of a big-shot. Maybe too much for Suyi to handle? [b]"DROP YOUR WEAPONS!"[/b] She shouted, quickly grabbing the Pilot Guy to put him in front of her, her weapon on his throat. [b]"If you value the life of your comrades, drop your weapon!"[/b] She now repeated herself. [b]"You have my word that I will make sure, to the best of my abilities, that no harm will either come to you or him."[/b] - [color=00a651][b]"My name's-"[/b][/color] - [b]"Shut up!"[/b]
