Kolerin Forest 3

(lol yep from Rory and a way to get his mind back, Agito becomes a nice guy and Yeager... well Yeager is Yeager)

(Yeager is scary... ono)

(nahhh he's more like a very powerful morbid troll)

(Says the guy who made him...)

(well he is my side that when i finally blow up comes out.  I get sarcastic and dont have a regard for human life... period.)

(*finally makes a post* o3o)

At the moment, Gaia was down in the basement infirmary, watching her mother as she floated in the Stasis tube. She sat on one of the cots, lost in thought. I wonder what Stasis is like... does it just feel like sleep? Or are you somehow aware that you're in Stasis? Do you dream at all...?


Meanwhile, Rory was laying down on the couch in the living room. It had been another long day, and she was trying to get a nap, when she heard a phone ringing somewhere. Getting up, she yawned and hunted down the source of the ringing. Picking up the phone, she saw it was Lance on the caller ID. She answered it, holding it up to her ear and saying, "Hello? Uncle Lance?"

"Rory!" Lance said kinda surprised, "Um...actually can you get your dad and both of you come to the office...I kinda need your help."

"Uh, okay..." Rory was confused about why she was needed, and asked, "You mean me and Daddy? Um... shouldn't Daddy take Libra?" Nobody ever really asked her for help, unless they wanted a hug or a suggestion for an anime.

"No I mean you and Zero." Lance said, "This is something only you can handle."

"Oh... okay." Even more confused, Rory hung up, then went to hunt down her father, "Dad! Uncle Lance said for you and me to go to his office. He needs help and he says I have to go for some reason..." Being twelve, she wasn't exactly useful in Raptor operations yet, and wasn't allowed to go on them if her parents had anything to say about it.

"Huh?" Zero said, he was on the couch when he looked up at his daughter, "Um...alright."

Zero took Rory's hand and they teleported to the office.

The first thing Zero noticed was Finn huddled in the corner, "F-Finn...?"

Lance sighed, "I haven't been able to get him out of that corner, he won't talk to me or anything. So I need an expert at talking to people."

Zero looked down and smiled at his daughter, that's why Lance needed her help.

Finn looks up at Zero with a mix of sadness, self hate, and pain.  "How do you live zero?"  He mumbles quietly and tucks his head down so no one can see his face as his shoulders heave as he cries silently.

"Huh? What do you mean?" Zero asked cautious.

He mumbles.  "the pain you give others... are you so blind that you can't see nor feel it?"

(Rory: ... Oh, me?! O.O?!)

When the others looked to her, Rory's eyes got big, "M-me...? I dunno..." She could see how upset and lost Finn seemed, and wasn't sure if she could make it better. What if she said the wrong thing and just upset him more? She didn't even know what happened that made him feel like that? And he was wearing that straightjacket... She fell quiet when Finn spoke to Zero.

"Finn..." Zero said sitting down next to him, "I know it's hard. I'm not proud of a lot of things I've done. But we do what we have to do. It's them or us."

(the straight jacket is Finn's seal for agito, and Yeager and his powers like what used to be zeros rings)

Finn sits motionless as he stares at the ground.

Very nervous, Rory inched closer to Finn, "B-but... we don't fight because we want to. None of us do that. We fight because we have to... If we didn't stop the people we fight against, then they would hurt even more people... innocent people. Little kids, even... We aren't like that. We only fight the bad guys, and we show mercy when we can."

Finn looks up at her the pain disappearing in his eyes just the sadness remains.   "But... But deep down I... I enjoyed it, being strong enough to do that to people... I'm a monster..."  Finn has kinda ridiculously large tears in his eyes looking as much as a puppy dog as possible for an echidna.

"W-well, we all enjoy the feeling of victory when we take down someone evil. I was only in a fight once, but I remember how great it was to know I was strong enough to help the Raptors even a little bit... I got really hurt at the end, but it was worth helping my family and friends," Rory replied, trying to convince him that he wasn't evil. Well, Finn wasn't. Rory didn't know about his alter egos, but that was probably for the best.

Lance and Zero only watched as Rory worked on Finn...it seemed like it was working...at least the two hoped it was.

(the other forms arent evil Agito is probably the kindest of the three actually and Yeager just doesnt care he just gets told what to do and does it)

Finn nods slowly and cracks a small smile, well then I'll help as much as I can.

(They're still scary. Especially Yeager. XD)

Relieved that he was calming down, Rory let out a little breath, then reached out to help him stand up, "Alright, now that that's settled... let's go home, okay? I could go for some ice cream and a nap, how about you?"

(for now lol he calms down a bit becomes really really sarcastic.)

Finn slowly gets up and lets out a childish giggle,  "I'd like ice cream."

Rory looked up at Zero and Lance, "I think we're ready to go home now." She liked the idea of ending this stressful day.
