[Jacob]

*Setting: Blood steadily dripped from the males bust lips. His eyes were bruised and a strong colour of purple formed around both. His nose...shattered and smeared on his face. Cuts on his cheeks and forehead dripped blood. He was wearing his tight, black t-shirt with his leather jacket clutched in his right hand, smoking steadily. His left hand had a black, makeshift bandage around it and, like his other wounds, oozed steadily with blood. His stance was off aswell, he was seemingly stood on a slant and winced gently with every intake of breath.*

Iraxx: "Adele...you...*Coughs*...b-bitch."

He made an effort to step forwards but stopped once he realised it was too painful. Releasing his jacket he allowed the smoldering leather to drop to the floor, all the while his eyes studying the female who had tried so hard to kill him.

Adele: "Come, come. Take a seat...you...you have done well. We're...We're so glad to see you alive. You must tell us what happened."

She stood up and quickly rushed towards him, her arms outstretched in a fake show of concern.

Gian: "Yes, yes. Please take a seat, Iraxx, and tell us everything..."

As Adele neared him the Orkhid Commandor snarled, his right arm shot up and his hand clenched the females throat. Squeezing gently. Even though the pain was becoming more and more unbearable, he would have wanted nothing more than to see her eyes pop out of their sockets and her face turn a pale purple.

Iraxx: "This...f*ck...s-she knew...every-thing."

A mixture of blood and spit flew onto Adeles face and body as she struggled to break free from her grip.

Wyles: "IRAXX, LET HER GO!! WHAT DO YOU MEAN 'EVERYTHING'!? DO YOU HAVE PROOF?? WELL??"

Standing to his feet the Councillor slammed his palms down on the black marble table and raged at Iraxx who gently let go of her and pushed her backwards. Couging, spluttering and wiping her face with the back of her left hand, she looked up at him, her eyes burning into him with a fury so fierce it would have made Wolves turn and flee. But Iraxx stood his ground and explained.

Iraxx: "She...She is in...league...with Demons. She ev...en knew...Alexie wasn't on...his...*Coughs*...own."

Turning the Councillors looked at the female, their throats making a deep rumbling growl as they did so.

Member #2: "Adele...is this, true?"

She scoffed and turned to the Council shaking her head before looking back at Iraxx and replying.

Adele: "Of course not. He's lying. He wants his seat back, thats all. How did you get this information, eh? How?!? From Midian? Ha, don't make me laugh. You need solid evidence, Iraxx...and you have liquid facts."

As she stopped there was a soft silence, Iraxx looked at her, a smirk crossing his face, but as he opened his mouth to speak, Gian interrupted.

Gian: "Midian? Vho is...she?"

This was the moment that Adele realised she had screwed up, glancing at Iraxx and the glee he had in his eyes, she then turned to her superior.

Adele: "M-Midian is...Alexies girlfriend. His lover. But-But it doesn't prove i'm doing anything other than witholding information, sir."

Gian: "No, but the chair vill make sure you have no more secrets...von't it?"

As he said this Iraxx reached to the back of his trousers, grasped his 9mm and then brought it out infront of him. Pointing it at Adele.

Iraxx: "Here's...*Cough*...the remaining...proof."

*Gunshots followed by a 'zap' sound*
As the bullets rushed forward to meet with the Orkhid, her chest area let out a blast of white light. This light destroyed the bullets instantly, turning them into nothing more than air and smoke.

Iraxx: "The...beings that...that you work for...wouldn't...want you dying...now...heh."

She was in shock. She had well and truly been outted and knew that the best she could hope for was death. For if they wanted to make an example out of her, they could do worse, worse things.

Adele: "You know, Iraxx. No matter how much you think you have the upper hand right now. I will have my revenge...and watch as your Soul burns for all eternity in the Hellfires of Dementia..."

Her lip curled up in a vicious snarl, making her once vaguely-innocent look now more twisted and evil. Turning his head slightly Iraxx called for the guards at the door to enter and waited for the Council to give them their orders.

Gian: "Take her avay. Have her held in a holding cell until The Chair is ready...i vant her guarded heavily. Get atleast too other guards to escort her vith you. Now go!!"

The guards stepped forwards and, knowing a struggle wouldn't do any good, Adele raised her hands, waiting for the metal cuffs to latch onto her wrists. She then allowed herself to be grasped under her arms and marched from the quarters and through the Lobbey.

Gian: "Iraxx...take a seat."

The Commandor shuffled forwards uneasily and weakly, upon nearing the chair he practicly flung himself down upon it, wincing in pain as his body ached even more.

Gian: "Even though ve kicked you from our quarters, ve vere alvays going to allov you back if you proved yourself. And that you have. Even though the Medical staff vere, ultimatly, killed through...Adele's thoughtless plan, you...you survived."

The Commandor was tempted to correct Gian on a certain aspect of his sentence, that being that the plan to put the Medical staff in the bunker was his...but he thought it best to hold his tongue. As it would only taint his image anyway.

Gian: "But...ve are intrigued...how did you escape. Ve sav the blast rupture from the entrance...and you...you never appeared beforehand...hov did you survive??"

*Flashback:
Pushing himself against the metallic door the Commandor screamed for his life, his eyes closed as he felt the intense heat rush towards him. But as the tunnel itself began to vibrate, he heard a gentle rattling. Opening his eyes quickly he ignored the blinding light coming from the flames and glanced to his right. A small slate of metal was bent off the wall and led to the small space that was left to allow gas, electricity and water mains to pass through the entire bunker. Ignoring the pain the Orkhid rushed forwards and prised the metal back before diving in and pushing himself against the pipes. The flames rushed past, their temperature so hot that it steadily began to melt his jacket...making it smolder softly.*

Gian: "Ahhh...vell done, Commandor. For the quick thinking alone you deserve a break. Get fixed up...vhen you get back ve'll need you to go to a couple of conferrences. Oh, and you'll be checking the applications and interviewing the applicants for a nev Spokesperson...try and do a better job than the past interviever, Iraxx."

*Setting: Her heels clicked on the Lobbey floor as she was practicly dragged to the entrance were she could see a large, black van awaiting her. Looking around at the other creatures watching, she sighed and shook her head. She was so close. So very close. Glancing behind her she noticed two other heavily armed guards guarding her rear, their eyes staring dead ahead as they grasped their rifles in their hands. But as they all continued moving forward a short screech came from above and from the first-floor balcony a creature flung itself off. It sailed gently downwards, curling in a ball and spinning once or twice as it flew through the air. With a cheeky smile Adele's Heart lifted, she was saved. Landing on its feet the creature leant on one knee with its head down. It was clear it wasn't Orkhid, or any other race or specie the continent of Mudos had seen. Its skin was a dark red and from the back of its head three bleached bones were apparent. Slowly it stood, the beings form feminine and slender and her breasts firm and supple. It was Basium. She growled lowly as she looked at the guards holding Adele, opened her mouth and gently said...*

Basium: "Duck."

The two guards at Adeles side were puzzled at first, but once Adele immediatly crouched down they realised what they being meant. This was too late however as, as soon as she had said this, she span to the right and performed a spinning head kick with her right foot. The two guards immediatly fell to the ground, dazed. Cocking their guns the other two guards prepared to take fire, but with an apathetic look the females eyes flashed white and the clothing of the guards immediatly shone brightly. The guards screamed and dropped their weapons, flailing about wildly as they felt their clothes get burnt off of them. But ignoring them she hurridly reached down to Adele, concious of the previous guards who were now about to shoot. Grasping Adele by the shirt coller she pulled her close and then wrapped her left hand around her waist.

Basium: "You're in the shitter..."

It was at this moment that the two beings bodies bamfed into red mist which then swirled gently outward before disappeaing completly...
