[b]And there I was, yet again, eying up those crimson bastards across the way. My rifle would punch through them like paper. One bullet, one of their best soldiers, dead. Easiest thing I'd do all day. I wanted them dead, I really did, but what would they do to the Dojo? Probably ravage a fair bit of it, considering their numbers. They'd lose, for sure, but how many would die before they did? Better question was, why should I care? I barely knew any of them, besides Olivia, and even then, I don't know her that much. But what about all the innocents that would be killed? That was what was stopping me from blowing that asshole's head clean off. I sigh as I put my rifle away, right beside the other one, on my back.
I walked back to my chair, right on the edge of the Dojo. I took my helmet off again, and set it beside the chair. I sat there, soaking in the sun, and I enjoyed the afternoon.[/b]

*Sapphire walks up wearing a light blue t-shirt and a tan pair of cargo shorts. She wakes, tapping her hip twice as she speaks.* [u]Hello...[/u]
-
[b]I knew about her deafness. It wasn't too hard to see, I'd been watching all the members since I'd arrived... So how would I communicate?[/b] "Hello? I know you probably can't hear me."
-
*She shakes her head and taps her hip with every syllable.* [u]I can't hear you... Do you know where Big S or Vorim'Tairn is?[/u]
-
"Big S... Vorim... I think I know where he is..." [b]Big S was behind her the entire time. He taps on her shoulder.[/b]
-
*She flinches, whirling around and seeing him.* [u]God! You're so quiet! Waaaaiiiit... How long have you been there?![/u]
-
[i]"The entire time you've been over here."[/i]
-
*She looks surprised when she reads it on his chest.* [u]Oh, sorry... Well, hi Big.[/u] *She waves at him and then turns back to the other guy.* [u]Well, I'm Sapphire... I'm afraid I haven't met you yet...[/u] *She says, tapping on her hip.*
-
[spoiler]Lets assume Big S translates everything.[/spoiler] "I'm Grant. Nice to meet you." [b]I sit up, and look up at her.[/b]
-
[u]It's very nice to meet you Grant...[/u] *She says, not completely sure what to say next for some reason.* [spoiler]Okay[/spoiler]
-
"How long have you been here, Sapphire?"
-
[u]I don't even know... A year?[/u]
-
[b]I was surprised. That's a damn long time without dying.[/b] "Really? I've only been here for a few days."
-
[u]I can tell, otherwise I would have seen you before.[/u] *She chuckles a little, her Sphirinian accent somehow mixing with her chuckle as well as her speech.* [u]My cousin, Sketch has been here for about two years now but he's been on this world about four... My other cousin and Sketch's older brother, Vorim'Tairn, has been here only about half a year now...[/u]
-
"Really now? Interesting. I'll have to meet them some day. Just kinda relaxing for right now. Popping some Legion heads works as R&R, but can't do that right now."
-
[u]Do you mind if I join you?[/u] *She asks, smiling a little.*
-
"It would be a delight." [b]I smile.[/b] "There's a tribe around twenty minutes away the Legion was planning to raid. I plan to stop it. Wadda ya say? Wanna go slaughter some reds?"
-
[u]Sure! Sounds fun! I need to get some stuff first, I'll be back...[/u] *She runs off, coming back a short while later with her exo-suit gloves and a propulsion pack.*
-
[b]I had already put my helmet back on, and was standing up.[/b] "You ready to go? It might get a little tough."
-
[u]That's why I have these.[/u] *She holds up her hands, showing the gloves.* [u]Look at this![/u] *A band attached to the right glove starts glowing blue and a hard light shield forms. It changes shape into a sword, then a spear before disappearing.*
-
"Nice! That'll hopefully cut through them. Maybe not the Centurions. Anyways, let's go." [b]He walks to the gates, seemingly happy that he is about to kill Legion.[/b]
-
[u]Actually, pardon me for being uninformed... But what is [i]Legion?[/i] Who are they?[/u]
-
"Bunch of slavers, murderers, thieves, and a couple other things. They murder at will. They don't deserve to live."
-
[u]In that case, let's go cut some people in half![/u]
-
"I like how on-board you are." [b]I walk outside the gate, and we begin our trek to the tribe.[/b]
-
*She walks beside him, looking over at him.* [u]If they're bad, I'll kill them. I enjoy fighting more than anything but it has to be against the right people.[/u]
