(Las Vegas)
As Xanthus held Dr. Hazel, he spoke up to the group present "I am rather....displeased with you lot, I had one simple request, to have Viper come with us, and we weren't going to hurt anyone, but then, you had to go ahead and kill the others, make things oh so much more difficult for myself" one of his arms was wrapped around Dr. Hazel's throat as he continued to hold her there "But I see that you still wish to play games....very well then....but this time, it'll be a bit different...." and in a quick movement, he grabbed Dr. Hazel by the head next and snapped her neck with the twist of her head "This time, we're going to be playing by my rules" he chuckled, dropping her body to the ground.
Vioer's eyes widened at what Xanthus had just done, killing her friend just like that, to which she looked to Zara, who in turn, was trying to compose herself.
"Your move" Xanthus then spoke up, looking to the three of them and watched as Zara dashed forward, yet, his eyes were still on both Aimee and Viper as well. He moved his upperbody to avoid one of Zara's swings as he slammed a fist of his into her elbow, grabbing the gack of her head, all in one rather swift movement and slammed it into the side of one of the slot machines present.
Aimee on the other hand, walked over to Spectre's body and retrieved his knife"I just hope she doesn't kill him....we'll need some answers from him...."
Zara knew not kill Xanthus just yet, as she still did want an answer on where Colonel Dietrik was hiding out, but boy, did she want to kill him as it was for what he had done as she continued to fight back, shaking off the pain in her forehead as she swung at him, still trying to strike at him before getting an idea, swinging her claws at the slot machine's lever, slicing itt off as she grabbed it in the process, turning around and managing to strike Xanthux right across the face, followed by a few punches to his face.
Aimee soon approached as she put the knife away into her pocket, grabbing onto Xanthus' throat the moment her had stumbled back and slammed him into the side of the slot machine, holding him there "Game, set and match Xanthus"
"Now tell us, where is Dietrik hiding out now?" Zara asked with a glare to him.
Xanthus however, just gave off a chuckle, which only caused Aimee to slam his head into the slot machine "I suggest you answer her, and truthfully too"
"Or you'll do what exactly? You don't want to kill me, for both information and for the fact that you lot aren't exactly cold blooded killers" Xanthus spoke with a smirk upon his face as Aimee repeated the process of slamming his head into the slot machine yet again "However, I will tell you for one simple fact....to allow Viper there, to go walking right to him....Washington D.C, you can start by looking there.....I would say, either try the Lincoln Memorial....or you could even go to the White House"
"You're not going to be making this easy for us, now are you?" Zara glared to him still as she then aimed her claws right at his eyes "Where abouts in D.C? I need a specific location"
"Fine then....at the Smithsoneon, start there...." Xanthus replied back, still as calm as ever as Zara removed her claws and walked over to Viper "Come on, we're going to Washington.....Aimee, you can deal with him as you wish"
"But....we just can't leave Alice here on here own with him" Viper piped up.
"Don't worry about me, I've got to get back to the others, and I'll be taking Xanthus here with me" Aimee replied back as she nodded to the two of them "But I'm sure we'll meet again anyway"
Viper noded back and grabbed onto Zara's hand as she teleported away with her, leaving Aimee and Xanthus alone in the partly destroyed casino.
Aimee soon, let go of Xanthus, yet, kept her eye on him "Now, we can either do this the easy way, or the hard way, but either way, you are still coming with me"
Xanthus eyed her back, his fingers flexing somewhat "Since I do not seem to have a choice in the mater....." he stepped back from her, but only slightly "I would like to know one thing....how many others are there of you and....whatever group it is that you're part of? I am rather curious, as you do not seem to be part of Dragonstorm, nor are you any sort of terrorist, it is possible that you could be Anti-Dragonstorm....am I correct?"
"So what if I am?" Aimee asked with a little snarl at him.
"Then, I shall accompany you to whatever destination you require me at" Xanthus spoke, giving off a rather light smirk in the process.

Shakila had been looking out the window the whole time as Dr. Bailey had spoke to her "Yeah, I suppose you could say that I am, although, I am still a bit lost as to where it is we're heading to after this base, I mean, I heard three different places that we could attack and I've got no clue on which one they decided upon"
