I said nothing as I moved to the Main Vault. It was brimming with protection spells. "Front teir only unless the thought of getting your head blasted of excites you," I advised as I opened it up. Fifteen levels of security. I always hoped I wouldn't have to open it. "The backs got a lot of high level magicks I don't think even Willow's ready for. Charlotte? Could you...?" We left the others there and went to another closed off section. I opened the door to revel my little memorial to Charlotte.
"I never could get over you," I whispered, opening the glass case and taking out her Soul Sabre. "Guess that explains why you weren't in here, huh?" I said as I handed it to her. "I get the feeling you'll need it. The bow Aralin gave you is over in the corner, with some arrows I made. They're not normal arrows, I'll explain later."

I had followed Doc, but only because i was in a state of shock. he was talking... passing me my old saber...
"Stop." I said weakly. He looked confused. "Maya..." I said, "She said... that new girl..." I looked right at him, and he swallowed. "She's Aila?" I managed.

My eyes flew wide at the incredible range of weapons.
"Whoa." I commented. Joshua... i couldnt bring myself to call him 'father' or 'dad'... grinned,
"Wicked huh?" he siad, "You know what all this stuff is?"
"Most of it... my guardians trained me in usage of most weapons." His eyes darkened as they always did when i mentioned the demons who raised me. "But i've never seen one of those before." I said quickly, pointing to a random item on the shelf, "What does that do?"

"Yeah," I said absently. "Aparently, this is what the ones that used you had in mind. Don't ask why. Maybe for this war you were talking about. Are you alright?"
(((Mal's turn)))
"That is a rail gun," Mal said, answering Vala's question. "It fires projectiles at near light speeds, allowing it a huge range. It also has a heat sensitive targetting device, allowing you to see through walls. Doc's been testing it for a government agency."
"How did Doc get a job testing weapons for the government?" Joshua asked.
"Something about a favour," Mal answered. "He hasn't given me full details."

(((Mal)))
Let's see, the AI thought in his 'room'. I've called those people. Maybe...
"Hi, Mal!"
"Emma," Mal said with a nod as teh feamle AI embraced him.
"You look troubled. What's up?" Mal told her what Charlotte had told them, as well as who she was. "Wow, is Doc okay?"
"I'm afraid I'll be cooking for a while," Mal said dryly. "I get the destinct feeling she's 'over' him. She's been giving him something of a cold shoulder."
"Can I help?" she asked.
"I don't see a problem with that," Mal said. Emily 'yay'ed and gave him a quick kiss on the cheek. It was a strange feeling for Mal, but not altogether unpleasant.

"They wanted her here to fight?" I said hesitantly. He shrugged,
"Possibly. Or perhaps shes meant to do something else, but she'd have been in too much danger if she was a kid during this. Not to mention distracting Mai and Josh."
I nodded,
"Right, well if that everything, lets see these weapons." I took my bow and saber, and lef the room, knowing that being quite so cold to him probably wasnt necessary... though it was better in the long run,. right? Not to give him false pretences? Right?

"Hey, is there anything I could use? or should I stick to my claws? Doc?" I looked around.

Charlie returned looking even stonier than before, her weapons in hand, and i gritted my teeth- i couldnt understand how she could be so cold to Doc- how could she not see that he was in love with her? I knew for a fact that she too loved him... or at least she had...
Did she somehow blame him for what happened?

It took me a few moments to get over how cold she was before I rejoined the others just in time for Jessy's question. Alright, i get teh message she's over us. She could just tell me.
"I'd prefer you stick to the claws," I said. "Since I haven't had a chance to run any of this past you."

"Ok. Don't trust the teenager with large and powerful weapons." I grinned.

I decided not to mention that i too was a teenager and went straight for an array of the most incredible cross bows i'd ever seen. I actually had to supress a groan- goddess i loved these these vaults.

"And those would be the, ah... painful crossbows," I said, noticing where maya was.
"Painful?"
"They propel bolts at about three times the speed of normal," I said. "The heads for teh bolts are explosive. Concussion, mainly, but they can be set to explode within the body. For vampires and demons."
(((Argh, gotta go. See yas!)))

"And you don't want me to have one of those because?" I asked, mock offended.
(((Bye)))
