[quote]"I feel stupid." Jedesia complained. "We're in the mess hall of an underground bunker for a resistance fighting against Lysander. And we're dressed up on a date. It just feels, weird." She said. "I'm sorry I couldn't get us to five star restaurant. Its kind of hard to find one when the entire city is under lockdown." I replied. "It's fine. You're here, and that's all that matters." she said. Several hours later, I entered the prison room with Hex. "You know why I'm here." I said. The figure chained to the wall lifted their head. "And you know that my answer won't change." the voice was low and rusty, as if not often used. "I can offer you a place here. You could join us." I replied. "Nothing you have can interest me. Unless you're talking about freedom." "But I am talking about freedom. Not the kind you want, but freedom for everyone. The guardians have stolen that from us." I said. The figure lurched forward, pulling on the chains. "You think I don't know that?! You think I don't know what it's like, living on street?! To be afraid for your life?!" "I know you do. Which is why I'm asking you to help me. If it's the power you want, I can give you powers later." I said. "And how do I know I can trust you to honor that?" "I'm not sure how to prove it to you." I said. "Then get out." I stood and walked to the door. When I reached it I turned around. "Let me know if you change your mind." I said as I turned and left. Drake entered the resistance bunker, looking for Andal brask. He entered the council chamber. Willard, the new leader of the resistance, and Andal stood over the table. They looked up as Drake entered. "Can we help you?" Andal asked. "Yes, you can." a low voice said from behind Drake. Andal and Willard jumped to their feet. A large Titan strode out of the shadows. "Well? Where's the fighting?" Citan asked. "Citan? Did you bring the Warlords?" Andal asked. "Did you think I would have come alone?" Citan asked. "Where are they?" Andal asked. "Their positioning themselves for the attack." Citan said. "What attack?" Willard. "The attack that you said you needed my help with. Are you coming?" Citan asked. Andal reached and pressed a button on the PA system. "Alert. We are mobilizing for an attack. Grab your gear." he said. "Let's do this!" Drake yelled. They all turned and stared at him. "Sorry. Got a little carried away." he smiled nervously. Willard reached under the desk and pulled out a rusty pulse rifle. "Let's go." He said.[/quote]
