GC Tea House

[Ironwatsas]

Naomi looked to lady Shikyo. While she seemed strangely farmiliar, she could not quite put her finger on who she was. However, Naomi did not waste time waiting to find out, as the brothers' Watsas' dramatic pause usually meant something bad was going to happen. As she did not want any blood on her flight suit, she followed Alexis and Takako out of the room.

"Okay, I'm going to go take a nice hot bath. If any of you need me, I probably won't be in any position to help." Naomi winks at Alexis and Takako before making her way down the hallway toward the newly remodeled bath house.

Meanwhile, back in the Tea house, Iron and Cobalt Watsas were still standing off. Contemplating each other's presance.

"So... Ya'll are still alive. Ah heard the rumors... Seems ya'll have made a lot of 'dem Farmers mad." Cobalt stated.

"I have made quite a few new allies and enemies. A nessiscary evil in my line of work..." Ironwatsas replied

"Well, you're still mah brother, I hope. Tell me... what happened? We heard ya died on Harris..." Cobalt continued

"I did..." Iron stated menacingly

Cobalt remained silent for a few seconds.

"I care not to explain exactly why I still walk. You are better off not knowing."

"So, Ya'll are workin' for some evil alien shadow group, tryin' to take over the whole dang sector! To turn all o' the people into your cybrog *hic* slaves! Ah Knew it! The lil' Gypsy lady with the glowy eyes was right!" Cobalt slurred, still drunk.

Ironwatsas paused for a bit, before responding.

"It seems you are smarter then I gave you credit fore. Unfortunately, you know far too much now..."

"Naw... I can't let ya'll do this! This ain't right! First ya'll say yer' a Zombie robot, then ya'll are tryin' to take over the Galaxy! I guess I have to stop ya'll right here..." Cobalt continued. Still quite drunk, but sober enough to understand the implications of the situation.

He pulled out his Detriot lancer blaster pistol and fired a round into Ironwatsas' chest, the recoil causing the gun to fly out of his hand and Cobalt to fall to the floor. Ironwatsas was unaffected by the shot, as he was designed to resist far more severe impacts.

He responded by drawing his own weapon and leveling it on Cobalt, however Ironwatsas' 'weapon' was infact a party favor which shot out confetti.

"What the dang!?" Cobalt asked, confused.

"I may be a soulless machine now, but It would take far more then this to bring me to slaughter my own brother..." Ironwatsas responded, kneeling down next to Cobalt.

Several GC and \CS\ security personell entered the tea house to respond to the gunshot, but Ironwatsas motioned to them that the situation was under control.

"Well... I guess ya'll win. But... why? Why try to enslave the galaxy?" Cobalt asked.

"It's complicated. I am by no means a single-minded megalomaniacal dictator. No, there are other powers at work here. As for you... you cannot be allowed to leave, unfortunately." Ironwatsas said.

"Well, ah couldn't if I wanted to, because mah ship is ruined." Cobalt replied.

"I would think the Chrysanthemums wouldn't mind your presance here. You are still technically a Junker, and an enemy of Kusari. Though, you and I will have to discuss matters before you can be allowed to leave here..." Ironwatsas stated.

Cobalt nodded, as Ironwatsas helped him to his feet.

"I'd get you a drink, but you're plastered enough as it is. Come along, I will take you to the lab... you can sleep there for now." Iron continued.

"Well... thanks. Ah guess..." Cobalt replied, before the two left the tea house.

All that begins must end.
