(OPEN)Lost LittleOne

[Genshuku]

On hearing Sarah's first complaint, Kaosu absentmindedly replied: "Not like I can send it away again." Her second complaint and movement messed with the complete interpretation, and her hair returned to the orange it was before. "I thought I told you NOT to move. Am I clear this time? I should be clear this time. Don't. Move."
She then took to examining the power coming from her chest, in order to see if there was any way she could use it besides making the girls life a living hell. Kaosu was above that, thankfully.

Ozma actually answered for Zi: "This girl can manipulate energy. So she can easily convert electricity into her own energy. What we wanted to see was if she could create chaos energy, which is pretty much why we're here."

Zi was knocked down by the bolt (it was still fast) but when she got up she did it quickly. She shook her head to get that fuzzy feeling out, but then nodded a yes, at least to the first part.

Ozma asked Kaosu if she was done yet, quiet enough so no one else would hear, and she quietly replied that because the girl moved, it was harder to get a good read.

[Little Sarah]

"W..WEll when my friend is hit with lightning y..you don't expect me to just stand there do you!" she snapped a little bit again, her ears back "plus..its...really hard for me to hold still.." she fidgeted again but held onto Zi again. nuzzling her. Sarah was still concerned for her friend even after what Ozma said.

She looked at Ozuma again and her little nose twitched a little bit, sniffling. "I..I don't care if she can..I...I don't like to see things being shot at m..my friend..." Though the tiny little raccoon was very very happy that her nest friend was Okay, and that the Zap didn't hurt her. it made her tail twitch up a moment, then go back down again. It was amazing almost that the little raccoon had so much concern for someone she had only met that day. But she did. She trusted Zi, she never gave her a reason not to trust her.

The little energy Sarah created could be converted. if the glow that happened before the explosion could somehow be captured before the actual explosion happened...

Or if the object could somehow be removed from the girl

But th only problem with that plan was..one it could hurt the little creature, and the other was there seemed to be some sort of spell or magic put on the stone like a barrier to keep it safe, and to keep the little runt safe if her life itself was in complete danger, it was one of the precautions her mother took before she was killed in order to keep her daughter safe.

but the first idea with capturing the energy omitted before the actual explosion happened was possable..just.. hard.

Sarah looked atKaosu, actually holding still for little bit, considering she was holding onto Zi.

[Genshuku]

Ozma knew how fidgety the little ones can be, so it said to her: "Given your age, I would assume so." And with the second bit, she did have a point there too, so of course: "And you are right there too. Though I never really have to worry about that myself, Kaosu is all too capable."

Kaosu had a random insight (her hair turning a light blue at the thought): This person looked like a little kid, but what was a little kid doing without a parent or guardian? After all, there was no way the human inside the tank was it, right? And the explosions were somewhat of a safeguard (she too figured that out) but because of their randomness, could they really be relied on? She had a guardian, and that guardian was not with her. That guardian should also be strong enough to defend her, right? If so, then he should be able to put up somewhat of a fight, and should be looking for her. And because fighting produces chaos energy, perhaps she could get some directly before returning to base...and maybe not take that one in exchange for a fight with someone capable. If the person wasn't, she was in some serious trouble regardless.

"So while I wait for the little robot to refocus, I would assume being a child as yourself, someone should be watching over you? I sense a lack of someone. And the random explosions aren't really a reason to be out by yourself, as those could get you in more danger depending on the situation, right?"

Ozma would have smacked herself for not noticing that, but lacking limbs, that was impossible to do.

"And then I had a thought. My goal here is to collect chaos energy, and one way that is produced is by fighting. If your guardian were to come around, we would fight, because right now I am endangering you. If he's good enough, chaos energy should be produced, enough to let you slide. The robot is coming with us regardless, given the results of the test that I'm about to do prove my--"

Ozma quickly adds: "MY. "

"--fine, yours--thoughts correct. And depending on your guardian's battle results, I might take her regardless of the tests as a nice battery. Because I can. Be certain, I will have ways to make that one come out of hiding. Though if said person does not come, you both come with me and the pretty part of your lives will reach a very sad conclusion, and there's a chance you could be scarred for life. And depending on some people's results, an eternity in a place you do not want to spend the rest of your life in."

Ozma wondered where all these thoughts came from, then realized there had to be a way the god didn't blow herself up before Ozma was created. This was probably it.

Zi cringed at the 'nice battery' comment, and was scared for herself, Sarah, heck, she was scared for everyone.

Kaosu continued: "Robot Girl or whatever your name is, step away from the girl so I can do that test. So she accidently doesn't get in the way. It would be painful if she did."

Zi, having no choice in the matter, regretfully stepped away a few feet.

Kaosu then said to Sarah: "You ARE going to stay still, right? Making sure. If you don't, I might lose it. I'm good at that."

Ozma seemingly nodded.

[Little Sarah]

Sarah's ears dropped back against her head at the word guardian . Her whole body shook for a moment again and she let out the little big of a whimpering noise again "M..My guardian?..g...guardian ..w.. well...well he... he's... uhh..w..well..." Little Sarah looked away a moment, then looked out at the forest with her ears back "b..Big brother...." she said that so softly that no one could hear her. Her ears were back, she knew very well that if her brother knew she was in danger, he would fight...and he would fight brutally, he was just that kinda person. Her ears were back.

The look the little raccoon gave as she looked back over at Ozma and Kousu told them a few things. One, her look told them that her 'guardian' was no where around this area, the other thing it told, was that the little girl had no clue what so ever if he was even in the forest. She gulped a little git and fidgited.

but however her fearful look seemed almsot angry again "NO YOUR NOT TAKING ZI!" she seemed to snap that louder then she had before. "You not! your not!" her necklace and chest started to glow again " NOT NOT NOT NOT NOT NOT NOT NOT NOT NOT!" as the girl yelled and screamed from being scared for her friend, several explosions happened in almost a wide circle around the group.

She panted after she did that, obviously she hadn't meant that either, but it seemed more powerful then before almost, and she looked around "o..oh no.." she winced more, letting out a little cough and holding the area on her chest trembling some "i..It's hurting..s..so bad again..' she said that softly again.

It had almost been amazing that that much energy had come out of that tiny frame, the little runt definitely had more then met the eye. and anouther thing came abundantly clear...

If her guardian was around...he would of herd that and been there by now...he would o f herd the explosions earlier.... The Brother of the little raccoon was no where around this area...no where at all.

She panted some, her ears back "Z..Zi is scared of you.. B...But Im not going to be.. I..I'm not!" she growled again, shakeing as she said this, trying to be more brave then she had been "I...I'm not going to let you h..hurt my friend..not someone I care about!" she seemed to be panting as she said that, that little burst of strong energy had almost hurt her. but it seemed almsot like her little gem itself was controlling her emotions.

"NO ONE I CARE ABOUT WILL GET HURT..NOT NOW NOT AGAIN!!"

[Genshuku]

Kaosu understood her, and was disappointed. She however somewhat similed at the explosion fest: the chaos energy caused by said explosions was quickly absorbed. She was starting to go somewhat insane (again) though, and caught herself before she taunted her. This was taking too long. As much as this girl was in pain, she could certainly be in a lot more if Kaosu snapped.

"Listen. I only have so much time to play games with you, and that time is drawing to it's end. I am taking the robot with me, and if you want to stop me, words will not help. Explosions will not help. If you ever want to see her again, you have 2 choices: come along, or the other one, which will become obvious with time. The choice is yours."

The little girl snapped. Kaosu had to keep herself from going insane again, and her hair changed to something of a purple-orange mix.

"You can not always have your way. I would know. There's a reason people are scared of me, I already know the answer. It's because I do this like this. But, no one can see that there is no choice in the matter. No one is allowed to. I am sorry. Now, pick your option already..."

Ozma whispered to Kaosu, perhaps it was plan-related or comfort-related, though no one else heard.

[Little Sarah]

Sarah let out a little growl again. Her ears twitched back against her head. She wanted to Help Zi, but those two options Kaosu gave her didn't seem like good ideas ether way. She had to think of something, some way to help. Her ears were twitching annoyed now and she hugged Usagi against her"what should I do Usagi..." she said softly and leaned in as if she was listening to the stuffed toy. She nodded her head some.

She let put a grumpily noise and Walked up to Kaosu, Her ears flat back again. She opened her mouth like she was going to speak. But she quickly closed it and actually kicked, or tried to kick, kaosu in the ankle, with quite bit of strength behind it, it would be hard to doge since the little thing walked so close.

"Neither of those options sound good..Z..Zi'm my friend, I wont let you hurt Zi, I wont I wont I wont!" she didn't cause explosions that tome, but she let out a little growl trying to sound threatening again, course that wasn't working, it just looked adorable.

( XDD the kick probably even looked adorable... poor little Sarah cant be taken seriously XD)

[Genshuku]

Kaosu took the kick, and pretty much didn't feel it. What she did notice was that the girl was in arms length, so she (scarily quickly) grabbed her back, and lifted her.

"I'll take that kick as an option one choice then. Posthaste, I'm taking too long talking to someone that has no control, when time is of the essence..."

Kaosu looked at Zi again, and noticed something. She actually already had chaos energy inside her! Therefore...well that was quite the clever programmer. She not only produced it, it was inside her by default. Kaosu signaled to Ozma, who decided to make the grabbing easier by shifting to human form (quickly) and grabbing Zi.

Zi knew that things were getting very bad, but was too depressed to speak. Ozma knew that Kaosu wanted to get a move on, and they decided that the mech ride was a silly thing and started to fly back to a hidden teleporter.

Of course, someone needs to interrupt them. It would be bad form if they didn't get interrupted after all.

[Kitten4u]

Aya was rather annoyed right now. She finally found a rather adorable story, but the guy she got it from was rather vague. She hated it when people were vague almost as much as when people absolutley refused to answer qestions. So she was last seen by a river. Gee, that's rather specific. There are a lot of rivers in Gensokyo. Did he mean the Sanzu river? As much as Aya hoped that wasn't the case she wouldn't be at all shocked if the poor little girl decided to kill herself. Did he mean the major river on Youkai Mountain? Did he mean some of the lesser rivers that went towards the human village? Really, saying that barely even narrowed it down from "She's on the ground."

Well, Aya decided to check Youkai Mountain first for no reason other than it was close and she didn't feel like dealing with whoever might be on the Sanzu river. Last time she went there someone insisted that she was trying to kill herself, and then another person decided to lecture her for not being perfect. It was not a fun trip and she was already rather annoyed. As she flew over the mountain she noticed something, it was an explosion. That was something that the little girl could do right? She flew a little closer and noticed something that might be the little girl she was looking for. She was definitely small, and had long hair. She glanced at the picture she took of Koto, yep she did look a lot like him. It must be her.

It looked like there was something happening down there. Aya really wasn't in the mood to deal with fights like this, but she couln't just leave that child down there like that. She started to gain considerable speed, though she couldn't fly as fast as she possibly could. Mostly because she couldn't fly backwards as fast as she could fly forwards, and she wanted to impale the person holding the little girl with her feet, not her head. She also couldn't see when she flew as fast as she possibly could, and that would make it rather difficult to aim. She flew with both feet together at first so she would be more aerodynamic, but once she got reasonably close to whoever that person was she would lift one of them up.

Life could be so annoying sometimes. It really did figure that she would have to fight something to get that little girl back didn't it?

[Genshuku]

Kaosu noticed the attack that was being made, and as she was quite irritated as it was, did not hesitate to send a electric blast at whatever might be heading her way. If perhaps she avoided the blast, it would split into 3, and one would head towards her and the others would follow slightly behind and to the left and right.

"Just what I needed, more...interruptions."

She became less irritated, as it looked like Kaosu was going to get that fight she was looking for.

...Was this that girl's guardian?

"That one your guardian? Guessing not, but to be sure..."

Ozma, noticing that Kaosu was being attacked (though not necessarily in danger) rushed to her, saying: "Should I or should you?"

Kaosu quickly decided, "You." and continued on the direction she was going before. Ozma could absorb the chaos energy as efficiently as Kaosu could, so it didn't really matter which one fought Aya.

Ozma changed into her natural form again, and Zi seemingly vanished inside her. Really, Ozma made herself slightly hollow, so Zi could still move around inside. It's possible to see her inside as well. If Aya tried to attack Kaosu again, Ozma would likely get in the way.

[Little Sarah]

Sarah Let out a squeaky noise when she was picked up, her little ears flat against her head. and she managed to let out a tiny growl again.

She shook her little head some" No.... thats not my big brother at all.. I knows what my big brother looks like.." She crossed her little arms" oh and put me down " she grumbled " Being held up isn't nice.. I already know I'm small..being held like this just makes it more apparent" she growled slightly and kicked her little feet to get free. Her ears strait back against her head.

she squeaked watching Ozma change again, it made her whimper, just cause she saw Zi " LET HER GO! LET ZI GO! LET HER GO LET HER GO LET HER GO LET HER GO..." she started repeating over and over again. The panicked little runt could be quite loud when she wanted too. She glared at Kaosu a little bit and without thinking, the little girl turned herself some and tried to bite onto Kaosu's arm with her small little pointed youkai Fangs, Her ears pinned back against her head.

[Kitten4u]

What?! The person actually noticed her? She actually was able to spot Aya Shameimaru, the tengu who could shadow someone for hours without being noticed? This had to be some kind of joke~ Aya was so sure that she would be caught up in the heat of battle that she would never be able to spot Aya coming before it was too late. She was totally unprepared for the attack, and since lightning was a relatively fast attack she had no real time to dodge. The lightning struck her right in the chest and Aya landed face down in the dirt. It was rather painful, but there was a story here so she didn't really care that much.

"Hey little girl. Is this your big brother?"

She held up her notebook and pointed to the photo of Koto she took earlier. He looked rather upset at having his picture taking, but really Aya thought that his face might just be stuck like that. Her hand was still twitching a bit from the lightning attack she was just hit by. She really hoped that she found the right person and that she could just leave now. She really didn't want to have to explore anymore of Gensokyo.

Though, after assesing the situation for a moment part of her seriously hoped that she had found the wrong youkai. The girl seemed rather distressed about someone nammed "Zi," and Aya didn't see anyone around here. Either she was delusional or this Zi person was captured, likely by these two. On top of that there was...Well the only word that she could think of to describe it was well "a thing." That son of a bitch lied to her. He said that he killed the thing and that she shouldn't run into any more things. Aya's eyebrow literally started to twitch a little after noticing this. Geez, it was a good thing both him and the story were really cute or she might have actually thought about kicking his ass later.

[Genshuku]

At the first thing Sarah said, Kaosu couldn't help but chuckle. The second part was met with a somewhat bored "Yeah yeah..." which was met with a bite. Kaosu did not approve of this, and as the teeth bit, they didn't pierce but then they did, for a while. Then, they stuck. "Bite me then. See what happens."

Looks like her teeth were stuck. Oh boy.

Kaosu could notice anything in the world if she really wanted to. Being able to sense chaos energy moving around was quite useful for thwarting the surprise in surprise attacks.

When Aya showed the picture to Sarah, she most likely didn't assume that the other two would look as well. Well, they did. Kaosu quickly commented: "Nope, but I'll keep an eye out for him" and Ozma (with Zi still inside of course, though she probably didn't see the picture clearly) said (or rather rumble said): "Nope, but I'll know who he is for later~"

When Aya didn't attack, Kaosu flew on top of Ozma, who commented: "I am not a platform to make you look grand." Kaosu replies: "No, but it's one of your many uses."

Ozma would have facepalmed, but lacking a face and a palm, it was impossible to do.

Kaosu then turned to Aya and said: "Who, might you be? I have business to attend to, and don't want to be kept long."

If she advanced at this particular time, being one person, she would be met with a painful frontal assault. Of course, she was fast, but these people had some hellish reaction times.

[Little Sarah]

Sarah's eyes brightened up some at seeing the picture. The grumpy face, the spiky hair, the worried angry look in his eyes, yep, that was definitely the little ones brother which was made obvious by the look on her little face. Her eyes were brightened and her fluffy tail even seemed to wag her tail for a moment out of happiness. She was just so happy that he was okay...and that someone else had known him.

she would of said yes it was her brother, but her little fangs were stuck , she couldn't pull her teeth out. She let out a pathetic sounding little growl however. trying to pull her fangs out. Her ears fell back and she made the little grumble noise again. Shaking her head slightly, trying to pull her fangs free more.

Her tail was twitching in an annoyed way a little bit, closing her eyes. She kinda wished her big brother was here now, course...if he was..he would be making so much commotion right now. If he saw her in danger well.. the raccoon boy would probably snap. It was one to just think she was. He gets angry at the thought of her being hurt or in trouble..but actually seeing it...well..lets just say if you thought koto was a cranky person before..you haven't seen anything yet.

She closed her eyes again 'b..big brother.... I hope your close" she thought.

[Kitten4u]

"I'll take that as a yes," she put down the picture and laughed.

Aya simply chose to ignore the other person and the thing (woah, it could actually talk?) simply because she just wasn't in the mood to deal with them right now. Though, she did have to admit that the thing was kind of cool, so she made sure to take a picture of it. Right now she was having trouble telling if the thing was hostile or not. According to Koto the thing was attacking them, but in this case it just looked like the thing was just floating there. It didn't even look like the little girl was in any danger of dying. Kidnapping maybe, but not dying. Well, Koto was a bit of an idiot, so she wouldn't have been at all shocked if he was being changed by something completely harmless.

"I am Aya Shameimaru, reporter for the Bunbunmaru Newspaper. Her older brother asked me to come find her. So," she stood up and brushed herself off. She was still twitching a little bit from that attack, but other than that she seemed perfectly fine, "Can you just give her to me? Her older brother is very worried and I would hate to keep them seperated any longer."

Aya just stood there. She wasn't looking for a fight, and she wasn't aware that the girl's teeth were actually stuck. She just assumed that the girl bit that person because she was angry and she was simply refusing to let go. She didn't really care why the girl was angry, or at least not yet. She would probably ask her once they were a safe distence from this pair.

[Genshuku]

On Ozma having it's/her (quite interchangeable) taken, it/she commented: "Now I feel more like a stage..."

On Aya's introduction, Ozma slightly tensed: This person was a reporter. Both certainly knew that what was done here would be magnified, and Ozma wasn't sure that Kaosu should be in the spotlight just yet. Kaosu however, somewhat relaxed at it: More people, more chaos energy, more chance of a quick success. So she freely introduced herself: "And I am Kaosu, god of chaos."

...Ah, so it was her older brother that was her guardian. Regardless, she could not just give her away, and so replied: "I am afraid that I can not and will not do that, nor will I let go the robot girl that is currently inside Ozma. Speaking of which..."

Kaosu then stuck her hand inside Ozma, and the grip on Sarah's teeth was abruptly ended, and she would not be able to keep her teeth on if she wanted. Zi, upon Sarah's (actually quite soft) landing, hugged Sarah in fear. If one spoke, you would find that Ozma seemed to be hear-through somewhat as well as see-through somewhat.

"Ah, that's much nicer. Thanks Ozma."

Ozma replies to Kaosu: "I am also not a storage container." and then at Aya: "I however, am Ozma. That's all you'll get from me."

Kaosu continues: "You, however, are welcome to try to stop me. To try, anyway. You will fail, but do well enough and I might let someone go~ Otherwise, I'll just be on my way..."

A challenge.
