*Stabilis launches towards him, turning down as he came close, and rolled over his shoulder, grappling and lifting him*

"Defend!"

*It appears that Stabilis wants him to counter before he is thrown out of the ring*

His feet remain on the ground. Rather than lift he simply seems to bend with your strike, as if you ran into a wall of taffy.

"Keep your pen knife." The voice says. "I see something better."

"I will prove their blood is thin." The young man says. 

He grabs a candleholder from the ground and turns, tearing free from the cultists and bashing one's head open with the metal decoration.

"You are right." Sai'ah says. "They are weak."

"Kill them all." She says. "But leave the one with the candles."

"You all have disappointed your goddess!" Alice announced before she charged off, killing the ones she is supposed - and likes - to kill. The despair knife flung at one's head, as she now wielded her dual axes.

Finally she's enjoying herself again...

*Stabilis lands and then twists the brawler's spine, almost to the point of breaking*

"Fluid like water, not like candy."

*He lets go of him*

"Your frame holds weight; learn to shift it as if it weighed nothing.  There will always be someone far stronger than you or I."

*He motions for the next*

((Minor time skip for some of them.  It's three left then Nikolai, then Michael, right?))

"Why?" A cultists asks the youth.

"Because you hit me first." He says.

"To knock you out!" The cultists protests. "Not to kill you."

"That was your mistake." The man says, bringing the candle holder down again and again. "You should have killed me."

Sai'ah sends nightmares into the minds of several cultists.

(( Two then Nikolai))

He bends with the curve. His feet do not budge an inch.

"I should mention that I'm a contortion hobbyist." He says. "You'd have to dislocate your own bones to be flexible enough to strain mine."

Once released he flails comically, his body moving as if jello.

Another steps forward.

"We have another issue." Ryoko says. "A Corpus director just dropped out of Warp asking for Zaeed. Melanie has requested you and Theylin join the Council to hear her request. Your expertise in diplomacy would be helpful."

Coordinates appear to a meeting chamber.

 

 

"Well, I have no idea on who is that Zaeed, but if Melanie needs my presence then I can't refuse," she said and added shortly after "Your living undead friend had tried to lure both me and my assistant to the specified place under the legend of handing the banned tech and without providing any details on his involvement in this whole event except the statement that someone spied on him pursuing the forbidden researches. Since collaborating with potential terrorists in the midst of the takeover attempt isn't the wisest thing for diplomats to do, I discarded this scenario and will have the evidence delivered to you shortly. The interest demonstrated by the group this Tsun stands for in the force I represent is something to be investigated, and I expect your collaboration in finding out why did this shady individual decide to involve us in his intrigues. Now, I'll be off"

While flying to the mentioned coordinates, Ulf looked somewhat tentative.

"Ey, Theri, are you sure we did right?"
"From the very beginning, these so-called "ex-acolytes" decided to contact us. Not the local authorities - like they should have if they were seeking for rehabilitation - but two ambassadors of the exterior military force. This took place in the midst of the security crysis when the attention of the local law enforcers is scattered. And the fact he wanted to see not only me but also you at that mentioned place means that we're being spied on"
"True... but what if they really tried to redeem themselves with our help?"
"The risk of jeopardizing locals by getting ourselves captured or worse, and so making our army "sort out the issue" isn't equal to the fate of potentially remorseful extremists"
"Yeah. But still, that's cruel"
"They just placed a very wrong bet"

The rest of the flight both of them spent in silence, and after ten more minutes, they were in the meeting chamber, waiting for Melanie and Theylin

Theylin appears via holograph. Melanie stands flanked by Archons.

They open a channel to Zeta.

*Stabilis repeats the process with the next to, adjusting his strategies to better match and counter them, as well as offering some wisdom.  All the while Michael stares at the fights, trying to learning how to beat Stabilis' attacks.  Stabilis then motions to Nikolai*

"Now, it is time for you to put proof to calling yourself a mountain."

"Arbiter Ryoko." Tirion says. "He was an Adjuticant before the collapse. He is Chairman of Science and a Keeper now, but it would do him well to step into the ring."

He laughs.

"You misunderstand." He says. "If Zeta challenges you she will have to fight Ryoko. He is standing in for you as your champion, due to your injuries."

*Zaeed goes to open his mouth, before a familiar face pops up* "I would like to suggest that someone much closer and more..trust worthy to be Zaeed's champion" *Marix says, opening up on Zaeed's side, from his Pad* "While I am not saying, Ryoko can not be trusted, not at all, but I simply bealilve someone much closer to Zaeed shuold help him"

She raised her brow.

"Corpus are not that stupid to try to negotiate with the direct hostiles who shredded their rear ends a day earlier. This is probably an imposter" She said skeptically "But who is that Zaeed anyway, and what are their reasoning for extraditing him?"

"Seven is not only a human, and thus ineligible, but is a Chairman." Tirion says. "One who already has threats to his life stated. He cannot and should not enter the ring."

"Nina was acting alone." Melanie says. "Frohd Bec denounced her actions. And before you ask I do maintain limited contact with other factions besides Tenno. Apart from a few isolated and individually motivated occurrences  we have no reason to declare War upon the Corpus. They are merchants, and as such can be bargained with."

She looks at you.

"Rest assured I divulged no secrets to them." She says. "But after the Grineer attack they did provide a discount on humanitarian supplies. There are some among them who are good people. I've heard that Bec has often worked with the Tenno to combat threats to both."

She continues.

"As for what she wants." She says. "She claims this man is  a wanted individual and that the earlier attack was an attempt to apprehend him."

The axes were swinging left and right, each finding their mark in an unfortunate cultist's body. The wounds were fatal, but left them suffer enough to enjoy the nightmares a bit more.

The younger grabs a bottle of wine that rolls from a lead cultist's hands and uncorks it, taking a sip, then smashing it over another cultist and tossing a burning candle on him. The wine soaked robes erupt into flame.

"Hmm." He says, with the time if someone observing a mildly amusing experiment. "Must have been high proof. But not flame proof!"

"Hello Zaeed" *She can be seen, as a Soprana Banshee, wearing light gray and white Corpus colors, She welds the Porta chest plate, and Dendra leg pieces and one left piece, On her back will reveal the Officium disc and on her right shoulder the some kind of Tenno Disc device, On both shoulders they weld the Ki'teer logos, Exact copy of Zaeeds* "it is my singular pleasure to meet you, once more -heh-, If only I was here in person, to shake your hand, But oh well" *She leans back and folds hands together* "You kown, why I am here, so good luck gentlemen"
