" Then stay with me," She huffs and strokes his hair," You can go to sleep, imma good pillow aparently.."

[Light]

"You are," he coos in agreement. "Good pillow..." He yawns, his knees popping as he stretches his legs off of the bed.

[CrimsonMoon]

She smiles and strokes his head

[Light]

His head and shoulders relax, his breathing slowing down to a thin intake and exhale. His hand remained on his pocket where there was a small knife--just in case. He was a guard dog even in his sleep.

[CrimsonMoon]

Caoi just watches him, hugging him lightly and frowning... She didnt want him to go crazy... She still needed him...

[Light]

His head lolls to the side, and he grumbles in his sleep about lions and troublesome humans. The sky outside had greyed--and strange enough, it looked like they might have a storm, even with the weather moderating shield that surrounded the city.

[CrimsonMoon]

She glances out the window and hugs him a bit more protectively, not wantin to wake him.

[Light]

It had begun to rain, and thunder, and all the nasty things that happen during a storm. The people passing by her door called it an error in the programming... but it seemed to be too much of a coincidence for this to happen on today of all days. Seth's birthday--the day he called his birthday that is. Lumi had woken up when it began, his eyes wide and alert. "Since when does it rain here," he mumbles in an angry whisper. "Thought we made all these stupid machines to stop that from happening..."

[CrimsonMoon]

Caoi pats his soft head," We wouldnt have buildings for shelter if it didnt rain everyonce in awhile," she points out softly.

The whole city was on high alert, already prepped for War... After the disaster of the entertainment district.. No one was taking chances..

[Light]

"Meeehhhh," he huffs slouching forward, "This rain doesn't smell nice..."

Despite the high alert, there were a few who were not 'prepped for war', but standing in the downpour. The gathering was miniscule, with a handful of people putting flowers under a pagoda and arranging them on a stone piano. Every year they did this, with or without the commander.

[CrimsonMoon]

Caoi sighs but agrees quietly, its true... It didnt have the nice clean smell... She mumbles," I think... The Lion's here again..."

The turrets hidden on buildings by the camo-molecules ID each captain and ship that enters the atmosphere... There was no way they could enter without being blown to hell.. No way

[Light]

Soon, the ground starts rumbling. Lumi looks up at the flickering holo screen, the reporters already on it. Soon they're in a frantic flurry, and the rumbling gets louder. Red dots pop up on the map displayed behind them, saying the ground had suddenly caved in. Lumi jumps up and looks over the map shown on the screen rapidly counting under his breath.

The lions didn't need to fly in. They were already THERE.

[CrimsonMoon]

The buoldings easily withstood the wavering ground, having been designe to stand through 9.5 scale earthquakes and lasers of the mos powerful kinda... Immediately the systems running the city revved into action, sirens wailing and war shutters closing over all of the buildings and entrances. The city was a complete shell of empty streets except for the sirens wailing.

Caoi bites her lips and hugs Lumi's arm," Wait... Wait..."

Udolf stood in his office , gazig across the empty city... The Lions were just sadists. Terrorists with no reason to be terrorists. Thugs with no lives(x3)

[Light]

Green eyes dart up from the flowers on the piano, the owners lips twisting down in a frown. One day--she just wanted one day where to sit down and talk to a grave. A friend pulls her under the pagoda away from the rain, the small group staying huddled up in the open air shelter.

A small girl walks up to her and clings to the side of her leg, "I-I can't find mommy," Cloud gives her a concerned look and picks her up, "lets see if she's around here then,"

"CAOI---" he stresses, "This isn't just the Lions--all those locations are where I found old labs. Old labs like the one we went into."

(:'3)

[CrimsonMoon]

Caoi stares at him,"... They... What if they made the nanos?" She whispers

Udolf closes his eyes and frowns... War... He hated war..

[Light]

His eyes glow in desperate hope, "Then they might be able to fix us--we just have to stop them...!"

With the girl covered in her jacket, Cloud sets off into the streets in a quick pace, "You sure she went this way?"

The little girl nods, "Yeah... Mommy went this way..."

[CrimsonMoon]

Caoi rolls her eyes," Yhey WONT fix us!!" She growls," Even if they did make them.."

Udolf suddenly presses a button o his desk," Cloud, come in,"

[Light]

He sniffs like a puppy, "I was just hoping... You know..."

The line beeps for a few moments before someone picks up, the voice too squeaky to be Cloud, "Um--sorry, Cloud left her bag here. Do you want me to pass a message to her when she gets back?"

[CrimsonMoon]

Caoi sighs and mumbles," I know.."

" I just want to talk to Cloud... Thats all,"

[Light]

"WELL," the voice sighs with a verbal eye roll, "She's not here. Left with some orange eyed kid into the city to help her find her mother."
