Apollo

*Weiss heard the message to her from RT and picked up the radio. She paused before responding.* "Understood." *She said through gritted teeth.* "Hey, everything alright?" *Jackson asked her sounding concerned.* "No. Lets get back to base." *Weiss responded. The two of them quickly packed up the sniper rifle and made their way out of the building. They snuck through the back allies on their return to the base without being detected. When they arrived back at the base, Weiss grabbed RT's arm and began pulling him towards the back room.* "We need to talk." *She said coldly.* ****** *Lester looked at the destruction with confusion. What was going on? He had heard the explosion from Weiss' apartment and left to investigate. He had also stopped in a cloting store and bought a hoodie for the hood so it could cover his face and prevent him from being recognized by any guardsmen at the scene.* "The hell is happening?" *He said. His head began to throb in pain again, but it was different this time. Sharper.* "Rrrgh....."

Just a little side note about Lester. He isnt human, not all the way. He is actually half human and half demon. His father was a super powerful demon, and Lester inherited a portion of his power. Not enough to make him OP, but enough to make him a formidable opponent. Another note, Lester is unaware of his demonic parantage, and has not yet awakened his powers. Therefore, to those who can smell or sense energy and race types, it would be very difficult to tell that he is half demon. This applies until his powers awaken.

*Weiss looked down at the official's car through a pair of bonoculars, an her eyes widened. She hadnt been told that is was that particular official.* "I have the shot. Firing when ready." *Weiss lowered her bonoculars and hesitated for a second.* "Take the shot" *She said in a pained voice. Jackson pulled the sniper rifle's trigger, firing the bullet and sending it on a collision course with the official, or more accureately, with Weiss' father.*

*Lester stepped back when Carullo hissed at him.* "I-im sorry, I wasnt paying attention." *Then he heard a phone ringing and watched at Carullo walked off speaking to someone in a strange language.* "What.... just happened?" *Lester said to himself quietly. He sighed and put a hand on his head as he walked back to Sasha's apartment.* ***** *Weiss and Jackson were set up in position for the assassination. Weiss called RT and told him that they were all set up. weiss had set up a defensive barrier of shadows around the two of them with a small opening for the sniper rifle to be mounted in and to fire from.* "Now all we have to do is wait."

*Lester began to space out as he ran, his eyes sort of glazed over and he began to wobble in his path. He was knocked out of the spacyness when he crashed into someone (Carullo) and they fell over.* "Ah, sorry about that. I had a long night so im a bit spacey today. You okay?" *Lester asked as he stood up and helped the stranger to his feet.*

*Jackson and Weiss went to prepare the sniper rifle.* "The boss, letting me use his Dragunov? Thats pretty rare. This mission must be more important than I thought." *Jackson said casually as the looked at the weapon.* "Its a pretty important mission." *Weiss said as she took the cello case out of a storage cabinet, placed it on a table and opened it up.* "Be careful with it though. These things are expensive." *Jackson nodded and carefully lifted up the sniper rifle, carried it over, and placed it inside the modified cello case.* ****** *Lester shielded his eyes from the bright morning sun as he stepped out of the apartment building. He looked around at the nearly empty streets. The city had yet to awaken, but as usual, he was up early. A habit that being a former guardsman had hammered into him. The apartment building was in a part of the city he new well. He grew up only a few blocks away. This city was his home, and he loved it dearly, but he hated what the government had done to it. When the rebel factions showed up in the city, the government had sent in a huge amount of military forces to combat it. It had never made any sense to him. He had heard that it was because a group of supers had turned from the government and arisen from nowhere opposing the government, but he had never believed in the existence of supers. At least, not until last night. Thinking about the experience of being light shifted made his head hurt, despite the painkillers he had taken. It was crazy, like everything he had ever thought had been re-written. It wasn't brainwashing, it was something different. He likened it to someone cleaning a dirty window. Things seemed clearer now, more obvious. He didn't feel a nieve as he used to. Lester shook his head to clear it of these thoughts and began to walk jog along the sidewalk. He needed his morning exercise and a little headache wasn't going to stop him from his morning routine.*

(Is it really? Wow. xD) *Jackson nodded when he heard that he had been selected as the sniper. He wasn't surprised. He had been a sniper for the military before Weiss had light shifted him.* "Understood. I won't let you down sir." *Jackson said with a smile and a quick salute.*

*Weiss gently landed at the entrance to the rebel base. She looked around, but did not see the confrontation going on not too far away. Weiss flipped her hood up and allowed her wings to dissipate, the feathers falling off individually before turning back into simple light. She walked up to the door that led into the base's entrance, looked behind her cautiosly, then entered the building, closing the door gently behind her.* ******* *Lester woke up in a bit of a daze. He was in a stange apartment, and his head hurt like crazy. He stood up from the couch he had been sleeping on, and began to explore. There was one door with a big sign on it that said, Keep Out. Lester deduced that it was a bedroom. He walked through the apartment some more and found the kitchen. There was a note on the counter and he noticed that his name was on the top of it. He picked up the note and read it. The note explained what had happened the night before and that there was food and tylonol for his headache. Lester saw the tylonol and a full glass of water sitting on the counter next to where the note was. Lester opened the bottle of pills and took a couple. He looked around and saw a folded set of street clothes. The note had mentioned them too. He changed out of his bloddly guardsman uniform and into the street clothes. He then walked into the bathroom. He looked at himself in the mirror. His haor was long and braided, in the syltyle that all guardsmen had. He spotted some scissors on the counter. Lester made his desicion and picked up the scissors, an cut his hair off. Almost all of it. He evened it out so that it was short enough to looked spiked without support. It looked much better than with the braid.* "A new chapter of my life. I should make better use of it this time."

*Sasha looked over at the clock. It was just about time to meet up with RT again. She quickly donned her spare outfit. Her usual one was in the wash, cleaning off the blood from her fight with the guards earlier. Before she left, she looked over at Lester. He still hadn't awoken, which didn't surprise her. Light shifting people usually knocked them out for at least a day. Sasha stepped out of her window. The sun was beginning to rise, so she decided to use light now. She let herself fall from the window, and wings of light appeared and attached themselves to her back and suspended her in the air. She rose higher quickly. Weiss liked the wings, they were pretty and they were fast. She pointed herself in the direction of her meet up point with RT and took off in that direction quickly.*

*Sasha nodded.*"Okay. Guess im gonna need to take a sick day from work tomorrow." *She took a phone out of her pocket and quickly sent a message to her boss.* "Its such a good thing that the boss man is one of our funders. If not, well I wouldnt have a job. Especially one that pays me even when I take sick days." *Sasha smiled and got up from her seat on the table.* "Be careful out there." *She said before walking out of the room and into the buffer zone between the vase and the surface. She quickly flipped her hood back up and then went out into the dark city. A cloud of darkness shifted around her feet and raised her into the air. Once she was at a good height the cloud of darkness solidified around her lower legs and arms, keeping her suspended in the air. She then made her way back to her apartment, and again, entered through the window. Lester was still unconcious on her couch, so she headed into the kitchen, filled a glass with water and quickly downed it.* "And now, I wait."

*Sasha smiled and patted the top of RT's helmet.* "Everything will turn out all right. Rome wasn't built in a day." *When RT had mentioned talking to the men about treating her better, her smile dropped a bit.* "Im not really surprised about thier distrust of me. I mean, a hooded figure who never talks to them, showing up and just standing in a corner, emitting dark energy? I wouldnt trust me either." *She said jokingly.* "Roberto and Jackson trusting me is good enough." (Roberto and Jackson are the two light shifted that had joined the rebels.)

"Hi NH." *Sasha said. She listened patiently to RT's speech, and, like always, felt piercing glares from several of the other rebels. Once the speech was over, she greeted several of the soldiers she had converted, and once they had all cleared out, she lowered her hood and walked over to RT.* "Hey, everything all right?" *She asked.*

"Got it." *Weiss said simply. She got a good grip on Lester's arm and his belt, and began to rise into the air. More slowly, due to the added weight of the fully grown man she was carrying. Lester was not burly in any regards, but he was heavier and taller than Weiss was. She slowly began to make her way back to her apartment building a few miles away.* "Something different about you." *Weiss said to the unconscious man. She arrived back at her apartment and entered through the window she had exited from. She closed it behind her and then laid Lester down on the couch in her living room. She went over to her closet and took out a blanket and a pillow. She laid the blanket over Lester and lifted up the pillow and put it beneath his head.* "Don't know what it is. But there is something stra- no. Something special about you. you are different from the others I have light shifted. In a good way." *She thought about it for a few seconds, then shrugged with a smile and headed for the window. She opened it and was about to step out, when she turned back to Lester and smiled.* "Sleep tight." ***** *Weiss was floating above the rebel base in a sitting position. She never liked coming here, and only did so when RT told her to. He was her teacher after all, and she had a lot of respect for him. Night Hawk too. But all the rebel soldiers seemed distrustful of her for some reason. Perhaps its because the meetings only ever went on at night, and during the night, she always gave off a dark aura. The only soldiers in the rebels that did not mistrust her, were RT, NH, and the few that she had light shifted and decided to join the rebels. Most guards she light shifted simply went on to live normal, happy simple lives, but a few had ended up as members of the rebel force. Weiss sighed.* "Hope I dont get too many dirty looks this time." *She said as she flipped up her hood and floated down towards the hidden base, slowly walking inside.*

"Im fine." *Weiss crated a small shaft out of darkness and stuck it into the bullet wound. She winced in pain and pulled hard. When the shaft came out, it was gripping a bullet.* "That should heal up in no time." *She said, dispelling the shaft and allowing the bullet to fall to the ground. If one looked closely at the wound, they would see it slowly healing due to Weiss' accelerated healing factor.* "Come on, we should get moving. Im sure once their base notices that this unit hasn't returned they will send out more guards to investigate." *Weiss picked up Lester and held him, leaning on her unwounded shoulder.* "I'll take this guy back to my place. He can crash on my couch until he recovers. Light Shift can be a pretty traumatizing experience."

*Weiss heard a gunshot from a small distance and felt a searing pain in her shoulder. She looked at her shoulder and saw blood staining the black and white cloth of her jacket.* "Basta..." *She grumbled and swung her arm in the direction the shot had come from and four shadowy blades spawned and launched themselves in the direction of the guard who had fired the shot, spearing through his chest.* "How do you like it?" *Weiss growled. She noticed another guard running at her from the side with a sword. She dodged the guard's swing, grabbed his wrist, and slammed her elbow down onto his, snapping it and causing the bone to spear out from his arm.* "You made some bad life choices buddy." *Weiss said before forming a dagger out of shadows and shoving it into the guard's face. She then looked over at the last guard of the group. He was standing there, a gun in his hands, pointed at them in fear. Tears ran down the guard's face, and he was trembling. What were these monsters? He had heard of Supers before, but he had never thought that they were real. Weiss walked over to him, slowly. The guard fired his weapon but Weiss blocked it with a swiftly spawned shield.* "What is your name?" *Weiss asked gently. The guard trembled, he was now scared, and confused. But he stuttered out an answer.* "L-l-les-ter." *Weiss smiled and lowered her hood. Her face was gentle and kind.* "Lester, thats a good name. Im sorry we had to kill your comrades, but it was necessary. They were filled with darkness. But you, you have light, and innocence. You don't belong in a group like this do you." *Lester's face showed that she was right. He nodded.* "I-I don't l-like.... our g-g-gove-rnment." "Then don't serve them." *Weiss put her hand on Lester's forehead. Her eyes glowed white, and so did Lester's. After a second or two, the glowing stopped, and Lester began to collapse. Weiss caught him and leaned him down in a sitting position against a wall.* "There, thats always taxing." *She said a bit out of breath.* (What Weiss did was strengthen the goodness or "light" inside of Lester, making him more devoted to what he believes is good. It is very physically taxing on Weiss and only works on someone who has little willpower. It will not work or be used on any player character without the player's permission. It can also only be used very rarely. Once a week at max.)

"If you feel like itll work." *Weiss shrugged.* "Theres just something off about her. I dont like it, it makes me feel....... just, I dont even know how to describe it!" "Theres some of them!" *Weiss turned and saw a large group of guards. She quickly flipped up her hood and got into a fighting stance. Shadows swirled around her arms and formed into spiked knuckles strapped to her fists.* "Come on!" *She said to RT* "Lets take these guys out and get out of here." *Weiss bosted herself into the air and landed hard on the first guard, slamming her now spiked fist into his face. The other guards stepped back, startled, but Weiss quicky went after a few more.*

"To be honest?" *Weiss said.* "I have no clue. The big guy Ive seen around before. He seems to hide in the shadows a lot. I think his name is Tardarus or something like that." *Weiss pulled her hood off noticing it was just her and RT now.* "But that girl, I have no idea. She has a strange aura about her, its..... uncomfortable."

*Weiss looked over at Eos. She seemed frustrated. The tendrils of darkness sank back into the ground. Weiss sighed.* "Whats the point in interrogating her anyway? She isnt going to say anything." *Weiss walked past Rocketeer. Stopping beside him.* "Come on, there isnt much point in hanging around here anymore. I dont want my time wasted by a girl who just plays games with people."

*Weiss looked over at Eos, a dissapointed frown the only seeable part of her face.* "Really? Threats? Thats not very nice." *Sasha slowly began to walk towards Eos, tendrils of darkness rising from the ground around her, and moving with her.* "Ill have you know that Im no normal human. Im pretty strong myself, and I dont get hurt easily." *Weiss stopped, right in front of Eos, looking into er eyes, a black glow coming from her own.*

*Sasha had been having trouble sleeping. Something hadn't seemed right about that day. It was off, and when she heard the explosion in the city, she knew she should check it out. Sasha stepped into her closet and opened up a small trunk on the ground, removing its contents. Her vigilante outfit. First, she put on the dark colored pants and boots. then, she slipped the sleeveless hoodie on over her head. Black gloves went on next, followed by the long and intricately patterned jacket, and to finish it off, she pinned her silver dragon pendant at her neck, securing the jacket. Now she felt more comfortable. More secure. As Weiss, she always felt stronger. Even though she was always pretty strong.* "Lets go investigate now, shall we?" *She said to herself quietly. Weiss walked over to a window in her apartment and opened it up. She got up on base of the open window, and stepped out, finding traction on the open air. Weiss turned around and closed the window behind her. Guards were always suspicious when they saw open windows so she always made sure to close hers. Once the window was closed and secured, Weiss began to rise higher into the air until she was high above the rooftops. She looked around and saw a lot of lights of in one particular area of the city.* "Guess thats where the explosion was." *Weiss muttered. She turned her body in that direction and began to fly there fairly quickly. Once she arrived, she took an overview of what was going on. On the scene, Weiss spotted someone, it was her mentor, The Rocketeer. Weiss raised her hood and began to float down towards the armored man.* "Hey boss." *She said oddly casually once she had landed next to him.* "Need some assistance?"

Made some edits to Sasha's profile. Added some stuff to fit the RP better. Lets see how it all turns out this time. I cannot wait to get started. http://mlpforums.com/page/roleplay-characters/_/sasha-track-weiss-r1777

I never really got into FLCL, mainly because of all the brain rape it contained. It really made no sense to me whatsoever.
