Cale nodded.  
"You were...hurt, if I remember.  Unconscious for sure.  It's not your fault."
He said softly...

"Hold it, Trinity."
Neku said, appearing in a blur of motion as Roux dropped him off in the compound...

Trinity stopped in her tracks, but did not turn to face the one who had appeared as she let off a light sounding chuckle "You shouldn't be here Neku....Ms. Race apparantly, does not allow intruders" she spoke as she then turned to face Neku with Hailey right by her side "So I shall give you 5 seconds to start running before Hailey here kills you" she told him, far more sternly.

Hailey in turn, stepped forward, but only in one step as she engulfed herself in flames as she just stared at Neku, as if she was ready to attack him.

"So, what will it be Neku? Die here? Or escape with your life still intact?" Trinity asked him, smirking somewhat in the process too.

Neku smiled grimly.  
"I'm not leaving without Hailey.  I promised her I'd protect her, and that I'd be here for her...I love her Trinity.  Not that a monster like you could ever understand.  But I'm not leaving."
He said, staring at Hailey...

Trinity sighed somewhat "Very well then, Hailey....kill him" she glared and turned to walk off to leave Hailey to do her job.

Hailey in turn, started to turn up the heat as it were as she then fired a fireball in the direction of Neku before rushing towards him, fist clenched and she swung a fist at him, aimed right for his face as she was still engulfed in flames.

Neku deflected the flames, his psychokinesis easily deflecting both blows.  
"Hailey, stop!  It's me, Neku!  Don't you remember me?"
He pleaded...

Hailey continued to attack him as she jumped back slightly and used her powers in a flamethrower-like fashion in order to try and set him ablaze instead.  In the process, she remained quiet still as she turned up the heat some more still.

Trinity in turn, moved a fair amount away as she turned back around to watch the show, smirking away in the process "Ah....lover's quarrel....how....pathetic...." she chuckled to herself.

As soon as Crimson Squad entered the mess hall, Aiko rushed to an empty table and set his computer back up, while Vic stood by him watching.

"OK, tell us what we got," Vic said.

"It's like we're starting to fill up some holes from what we got from Pelvanida," Aiko said cheerfully as he loaded data from what they found.  "We now have confirmation about other Dragonstorm bases besides the one in Idaho, and even some their projects.  Including...this..."

Vic examined the screen.  "A formula for fail-safe countermeasures of rogue Dragonstorm weapons?  That must be what Dr Joe was talking about."

"And that's not over.  We also have a tracking number for that satellite we heard about attacking some of our planes.  It's designation is Dragonstorm AI-1."

"Awesome.  We got a chance for some air superiority...  Wait...  Is that...  What is Dragonstorm AI-2?"

"Uh...file's almost wiped clean.  Does this mean we have another satellite to deal with?"

"I don't think so...  It's at a base on the east coast.  It either hasn't launched yet, or something entirely different..."

Meanwhile, the rest of Crimson Squad got breakfast and joined at the table...

----------

The guard continued firing across the window-side rooms to get Subject 19's attention...

----------

The chopper was soon in view of the group on the roof.  Rotor wash flooded the area as it landed...

----------

Watching through a monitor as Viper was placed in a holding cell, the supervising officer noticed Neku on another screen.  "Intruder in Sector Beta.  Mobilize patrols to intercept..."

----------

The two jeeps waiting for orders started up again, soon to be followed by two more...

Two of the guard towers were in view, and their snipers pulled out their rifles to scan...

Soon, Trinity decided to approach Neku once again as Hailey remained engulfed in flames, holding up a hand in order to get her to stop before looking to Neku "Give it up Neku...." she begun as Hailey stood there, still engulfed in flame, but not as hot as she had been before as she looked at Neku with motionless eyes "Hailey works for me now....and that's not about to change....not anytime soon anyway" she told him, running a finger along his cheek in the process with a rather dark sounding chuckle.

"She's become my little puppet, and there's not a thing you can do to rescue her....not even your little love for her will bring her back" Trinity added on with a smirk as the convoys were not far from their location.

***

Viper was put into a special holding cell, especially designed for experiments with her power as she sat there, still recovering from Hailey's attack, but did move her fingers somewhat before soon, giving off a terrible sounding cough as she fell back to her hands and knees and coughed up, what seemed to be some smoke.

She looked around in the cell she was in and attempted to teleport out, but had no luck in doing so as the second she attempted to do so, a shock from the top of the cell struck her and disrupted her thoughts for a moment.  They had recaptured her, much to her dissaray.

Neku stopped and lowered his arms.  
"If...If I can't save her...then...take me."
He said...

"Did they have to land?" the Dhole groaned, making a run for the chopper. "Don't they have a rope ladder or something?"

The pipe protecting the door finally slid out, and the zombies burst through the door. Spotting their prey, they started sprinting toward the only surviving citizens left in Southport...

-------

Shelton walked past a group of scientists. They appeared to be the first ones to complete the registration process.

They saw him. "Hey, Simpson," asked the leader. "Want to come with us? We're going into town. They actually have a strip joint in this one!"

Shelton shook his head. "No, sorry, but I'm exhausted. Thanks for the offer, though."

Shelton reached his room and looked around. Kerzach wasn't there. That's all right with him, he needed time to think before he talked to anyone else tonight.

Even though it was late morning, Shelton shut his mind off and fell into an uncomfortable sleep.

---------

Aydin walked back into the mess hall. He managed to get the full story from the chopper pilot, and now that his curiosity had been extinguished, was only now realizing how out of line he had been.

Well, he had never been one to shy away from his mistakes. Selecting his food from the soup and salad bar, he walked over and sat down next to Stern and Zanasiu, fully prepared for their queries and accusations.

Trinity just gave off a chuckle back to Neku as he looked to him, smirking somewhat "If you get onto your knees and show me how much she means to you, then perhaps I will consider it" she chuckled.

Hailey in turn, just looked at what was going on between the two of them as she turned her head slightly as she saw the convoys now, a few feet away from them as she looked back to Trinity and Neku.

"So, what will it be Neku? How much does Hailey really mean to you?" Trinity continued to ask him as she once again, ran a finger along his cheek a second time.

(ooc: Simple note LB&T, these zombies do not groan and lurch around, these ones are different, they move rather fast actually ;) )

Neku immediately dropped to his knees, his forehead almost touching the ground.
"Please...I'll do anything for her...please..."
He pleaded...

Trinity gave off a laugh by that point with what Neku was now doing and immediatly smirked afterwards.  She left him begging for a few more seconds before speaking up "Very well then.....get up" she ordered him before grabbing him by the head and pulling him up to his feet again.

She then looked towards the prison base "Follow me" she continued to order him and started to head towards it "And you try anything else, and your little girlfriend here will kill you" she added on as she started to head into the base.

Hailey in turn, waited for Neku to walk before she was to follow behind last, still silent and still engulfed in flames at the moment, watching Neku in the process.

Neku nodded mutely, his eyes never leaving Hailey, as he followed Trinity...

Soon enough, Trinity was back in her office, already contacting someone on the phone "Drake, I have another little subject for you to be able to brainwash, will you be able to make it to Idaho?"

"Yes, I should be able to make it there....give me an hour at the most, maybe two....depends on traffic" Drake answered back, already knowing where Trinity was from what she had told him much earlier on as he hung up.

Trinity looked to Neku and smirked "For the time being, until Drake gets here....we must find something else for you to do...." she thought for a second, looking at Neku still "You know, to keep your mind a little....preoccupied if you will" she then walked over to Hailey by that point.

Neku looked at her, eyes vacant and distant.
"Yes, ma'am."
He said flatly...

Trinity looked at Neku some more, eyeing him a little bit before glancing to Hailey for a second, then looking back to Neku once again and instead, approached him "Now, I am rather curious on one little thing about you....I know, very little about you, only the basic things that are needed, name, powers and the likes.....and I am getting rather curious....on what makes you afraid, what frightens you in this poor, pathetic world we all live in"

She smirked a little, reaching into her coat and pulling out one of her guns and aimed it at Hailey, finger on the trigger, the gun aimed for a headshot on Hailey as she smirked to Neku some more "How far are you willing to go to keep Hailey here safe?"

Neku froze.  
"I'd do anything.  Anything to keep her safe."
He said softly, his voice shaking a little...

"Oh my, what do I sense here? A little bit of fear that Hailey could die, just like....that?" Trinity asked him as she pulled the trigger.

However, it was seen that in the process, she had moved her gun to the side slightly, enough as to shoot the wall, just behind her as she smirked some more back to Neku "Very good, once Drake arrives.....well, I have some special plans for you my dear" she chuckled as she ran a finger along his cheek some more again "And it does involve that pathetic Anti-Dragonstorm team....you know the one I'm talking about, the one that Hailey there was part of"

Neku nodded.  
"I'd assume you want them dead?"
He asked...
