Discord pinched the bridge of her nose. "Shock, no My Liege-ing me. I am part of a semi democratic whole now." she spared the other bots with her a look. "So how many of you that weren't told figured out my past?"
"Can't say i blame the humans for trying to cover up the presence of alien beings, look how we tried to cover the stuff Primal found."

"don't think it was just humans in this case." Nekura said before looking back at sunstorm. "stll waiting for the answer to my question... I remember Dad saying that the 'autobots' of that time frame were very good at making sure they kept their tracks and tech 'clean'...."
****
"Yeah, it's me, I need a Sit rep of what's going on." Tara said,"...screw it, Is wily there?"

"More realistically it means zeir is an unaccounted for difference in the reploids that is resulting in a negative feed back..." Wily replied seemingly aware that this was a problem and having been studying it. "Yet, Thomas' X, shows none of zese flaws 'und has had continuous contact with not only the original strain, but also the other mutations." He pointed out that he had to be something that was different from the original model. To Sunstorm, they cyborg mere said "Bah, it's more about controlling information 'und knowledge, because zat's how you control thought and the masses." And he knew this well enough having been in the game himself in the past.
"This orginization has agents across several sectors of space, and that knowledge is shared collectively. What isn't "figured out" on ones own is shared with the council here." Shockwave informed Discord simply, hinting that was likely someone that knew who she was that worked for this particular group. "More importantly, we would like to arrange an operation to keep Storm Eagle ether here or on Cybertron, while having Mrs. Wolfang's family taken into hiding." Shockwave stated getting to the point. The shadow of a large overweight man with thin wiry arms and a very prominent, spiky mustache. "We hold no delusions that they WILL harm your Family if they don't get what they want and frankly I don't think we have a lot of time before they locate your ship." The semi-gruff voice added in a pointedly manner.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The wolf reploid was about to reply when the blunt question came up. "You need to ask? Have you see anyone else use this may skulls in their decorating?" Wolfang replied before adding. "He didn't seem at all like those history books though, He... Actually saved our tails out there, Tara." He added still not sure how he felt about the whole thing.

Another spoke up, a female reploid, or what appeared to be a reploid anyways, who walked up to the table. Her slightly curvy figure belayed by the shockingly neon pink 'hair' that came as she spoke. "What you know as the 'Maverick Virus'... I know personally as the Sigma virus." Iroke spoke up as she took her seat at the table. "Cain rushed the process, more so then any creator of robot life before. Where your grandfather took extensive measures to develop out his creation's mind and 'soul'.... Cain took shortcuts. The problem lays in the fact many reploids do not live long enough to develop boundaries like humans do... your children being one rare example Mrs. Wolfang. This isn't helped by the mutation caused by Sigma's advanced mind... the worst parts of his consciousness bonded with the virus... directing it to do far more damage then Dr Wily's original intentions. Very few people are infected with a more pure strain version of the virus. What little remains, I myself am one result... my mother is another." She explained, strumming her fingers on the table. "It did not help that many of the original maverick hunters infected in the original outbreaks were those more prone to violence, though that was not the intent. Without the three laws.... they wanted to test out their 'new found' freedom."

"Oh. Good to know. Have to remember that for a later project." Discord said as she listened to the assorted explanations, trusting her assistant to get all the data.
"So what happens to a Cybertronian if we're infected with one of these viruses?" Cassey asked as she pulled herself up onto the table, and converted to her recorder form.

"I'm immune to the virus as well Wily, just makes me sick as hell... I almost DIED when... Sigma did the Colony drop." Jess said, slightly straining NOT to snap at Wily... different attitude or not, she knew that the germen doctor had a hand in the event that, for all intent and purposes, changed her life forever... Iroke's sudden appearance and talk about the virus snapped her out of that mood. "Very true and, thanks for the vote of confidence on my parenting Skills" she said as Jess nodded to the newcomer. Jess was about to ask Iroke about her mother when Soundwave's 'offer' came up.
"Thanks for the offer but... to be honest, the higher ups would be stupid as hell to try and attack me." she said." You see...while I do believe in justice and peace, I'm not as blind as X and,to a degree, Zero were with regards to the government. Thus, I have enough blackmail to bury any official who would try such an act.." "Plus there's the fact My husband and I happen to be friends to the Ambassador of a race who happens to owe us a few favors... oh and..." Jess said as she looked at Wily " They know that they need SOME form of a Megaman or Megawoman to handle whatever threat they wet their pants over and,unlike almost all the past ones besides Rock, I'm not their attack dog in some fashion. They piss me off or go after my family and friends, and Not only will I bury those in charge but... well, They better hope some fresh newcomer shows up because I will be moving off planet and taking all the people I care about with me."
There was a slight pause before Jess sighed. "Yeah, I hate politics, I really do."
"I hear that." Nekura said.
***
"That Worries me more..."Tara said before heading towards the Castle.
"I'm coming in"

"The virus was made to allow reploids to break the three laws, For cybertronian who are sentient this causes a minor glitch in their systems, similar to a cold in humans and is easily cleared out. At least accord to one of our colleagues findings. Their has been a few other reports of it being used by certain cybertronians to bypass internal coding that Council members installed to... prevent certain undesirable behavior." The large man replied with a grin to Cassey.
"I had some influence in zat, yes, but zat was more about stolen data 'un technology as well as a twisting of my ideals." The scientist stated firmly, before getting more on topic. He wasn't a good guy nor was he pretending to be, but nor was he on trail here. "Acknowledged Mrs. Wolfang, Though they do have your Sparkling in cusdoty currently. Perhaps the value they place on Storm Eagle outweighs your threat to them. It maybe wise to relocate. Your distrust is understandable but we can offer you some sactuary for a time." Shockwave interjected just as a warnning went off. "We appear to have a guest." The fat man with a mustache mused. Wily pulled up a 3D display screen that showed Tara entering the Fortress. "It seems zis visitor is here for me. If you'll excuse me..." Albert stated as he stood up and moved to leave the room.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Outside the fortress, Shadowman was waiting for Tara. His schematics updated like many other Robot Masters. "Tara, right? The Doctor is in a meeting at the moment." He informed her before pausing as if listening to some thing over a comm link. "I see... He seems to be coming out to greet you now personally, Would you like to wait here or come inside?" The ninja asked seeming aloof and bored. Wolfang was some distance off from them on a landing pad with the ship that was being fixed up.

Iroke frowned lightly as she listened to the conversation carefully, waiting to speak her mind. "Mrs. Wolfang... you misunderstand. As you put it... they need a Megaman around. Unfortunately for you and your friends..." She takes out a remote, activating a hologram on the table showing the same display the others were seeing at Hunter's HQ. The camera panned around Copy X's visage, showing a pair of similar armored individuals standing behind him. One was colored red, a pair of large Busters strapped to his arms. The other was blue, holding a large staff in hand."They have many of their own." She responded, just as Copy X started to speak. Copy X spoke into the microphone carefully and controlled. "Hello my people. As Masters Albert and Thomas have said before, I have been found and repaired in this new age of ours... There is much trouble that has happened in the wake of my assumed demise. Several have taken on my name, claimed to be a worthy legacy... and found wanting. Even my supposed ancestor, Jessica Light, has been found guilty of tampering with several records over the years of her terms of service. She has been collecting 'alleged' evidence of corruption in our great government's interaction with its hunters... it's people... while secretly colluding with various maverick organizations. They have developed a virus that infects humans as well as reploids, based off of the research taken from the Maverick Hunter X-Pistol. As a result, legion has developed and is distributing the vaccine that stands behind me today. All unauthorized users of the designation Mega Man have been deemed enemies of the state. I and my people will do what my fellow maverick hunters never could... end the war for good." He pounds his fist into the counter. Iroke turned off the display. "Whatever you have... they've managed to throw it's very validity into question. The very vaccine they mentioned... is no such thing. They have perfected your friend's viral load... found a way to destroy the gap between humans and reploids, maybe for good. You were very lucky that maverick chose now to attack."
Sunstorm watched the woman carefully, hands pressed together. "... You say lucky. How likely is it that you were the one to release it upon us ma'am?" He asks suspiciously. Something about this did not add up in his mind.

"--is better than Megatron anyday. He had such a soothing voice, it was like a gentle rainfall on a summer breeze and--"
His feelers twitched and he looked up from the can of beer he appeared to be talking to. His form, large and muscular for a Cybertronian. He had parts that appears to suggest two bestial alternate forms: that of a crab and that of a Dragon's. He seemed to appear next to Nekura almost.. suddenly.. with no fanfare nor indication of his arrival.
"I... uh.." His green eyes darkened and lit up to suggest a sort of blink.
"What the hell?"

Discord glanced at the new arrival and raised an eyebrow. "Ok, I've seen some weird stuff, but this is new. Well I suppose it could be worse, you could have on rubber ducky boxers, or be wearing that beer in one of those ridiculous hats."

Nekura Did a double take when Dagon suddenly appeared next to her. "Dagon?" she asked as she blinked."Where in the flying pit have you been?"
**** This is what it's like to be Jessica O'Neil Light right now.
You have just been though a rough month that started out with a Mystical fight in a Subway that Spiral out into a Battle to save two worlds,fighting a spawn of Unicron, fusing with the son of Primus, help setting up a new government on Cybertron and trying to protect a child from the corrupt elements of the government that, to be blunt, are just as bad as the villains you face on a daily basis.
And when you come home, you find that your world has been turned upside down.
Wily's back and while you're sure he's going to scheme up something to take over the world, you don't know if you're going to fully stop him this time.
Copii X is back and in the span of a few short minutes,has declared you and a huge chunk of your family outlaws and traitors and pretty much took away the sole protection you had to keep said corrupt government off your Husband and Children.
You want to cry, you want to give into the despair and hopelessness of this situation.
Then, it hits you. Copii X reveled a fatal flaw in his message. there was a unspoken agreement between you and that Group of Corrupt people that you dubbed "Renpou" that as along as they left you alone for the most part, You would keep quiet about that information. Copii X was working for Renpou. He reveled that you had the information to expose and burry them. that ment the kid gloves can come off.
The Depression and Despair that was once there was now replaced with cold anger and logic as your mind now starts to plan.
You hear what Iroke said and figured that the "Vaccine" would also do something to insure that certain allies would be unable to help you in this fight as well.
You hear Sunstorm but don't care if Iroke planned the attack or not.
Right now, You care about the fact that there are still people in the government who crave power and decided to bring back one of the greatest monsters in your world's history to insure that.
You are angry that they want to spit on the face of all the good men, women,robots and reploids who died in order to bring peace to the world.
You are ready for a long and dirty Fight
This is what it means to be Jessica O'Neil Light, Leader of Hunter unit 17,Weilder of The Legendary Z-Saber, Heir to the Legacy of Doctor Thomas Xavier Light.
and above all else. You will prove why you are Mega Woman X **** "SoundWave, how fast can you and Your agents get my kids off planet?" Jess asked before whipping around to Iroke. "Iroke, I need you to get Unit 0 here right now, they're going to be in danger and I'm going to need them. Also, Call Enza and tell him it's game time, he'll understand what I mean."
Turning to The Cybertrons, She noted the newcomer and decide to wait a moment before addressing Nekura. she, instend, turned to Sunstorm.
"Personally, I don't give a flying crap if Iroke planned it or not, right now, I have bigger things to worry about. Like a change of plans with regards to Eagle. We're getting him off planet as soon as Soundwave gets my kids here." She said before looking Discord.
"Hate to ask this but I will need your help on this and before you refuse...well, hear me out when Wily gets back,I need to go into detail about What's going on."
Thankful that short range Commuinioncation wasn't being jammed. Jess flicked her personal com on. "Wolfang, Honey, I need you inside, Shit just got real." She said with a tone of tired Sadness in her voice now.
**** "I will wait" Tara said... before frowning suddenly. "Shadow Man, did you happen to feel like something wrong just happened?"
OOC: Sorry for the long post Folks ^^;

Iroke nods lightly in response. "We will do what we can. The maverick hunters building has locked itself down, I am trying to find a way to communicate with it without leaving their defenses open to Copy X's troops. Enza..." She pauses for a moment, conflicted. "They have him already. We were just barely able to evacuate his family when they attacked. They are here on the grounds if you want to talk to them." Internally, Iroke is a mess. To be the one to tell Jessica all of this despite their history of conflict... unlike most Sigma models, she had learned the value of family... built it on her own for the other sentient viruses she had freed from the hunters and found with Wilys research. She would not let the establishment destroy another. She chose the shell of wily's prototype Bit Man to upgrade for a reason. Let those who challenged her think she was a sparkman rip-off... it would make their victory sweeter. She was Iroke, Bit EX... leader of The Red Suit Squad in Wily's troops. ************* Sunstorm's eyes widened at the sight of Dagon. So many things had gone wrong in the last few megacycles... things thaf he could do nothing about. Primus seemed lost... his fellow later-level protoforms seemed lost for longer. That Dagon was here could only mean good things for one of those problems. "Dagon old boy... its good to see you. Primus thought you and your brood potentially lost to thd multiverse..." Ooc: was thinkjng best to make it a theme for the EXs pat.

Discord shrugged at Jess's request. "Yeah, sure. From the mag gleam in your eyes someone is in for a world of hurt, and if kids are in danger... well I'm all for helping dish it out."
Discord blinked as those words came out. Huh. Back in the day she wouldn't have cared if kids had been hurt. Curse.. oh screw cursing her female form.

Dagon looked at Neku and appeared ready to speak but his attention turned to Sunstorm with the unmistakeable look of completely confusion.
"Uh... y-yeah.. you.. you too.." He said, pointing his at him with a beer-laden fist. He looks to Nekura. "...Who the hell is--- Where the hell am I!?"

Shockwave watched as the Dagon suddenly appeared. A most fascinating turn of events and he made a note of researching the phenomenon later. “Shockwave.” The one opticed cybertronian corrected in a deadpan manner, no emotion from the purely logical mech that seemed more machine than most any other cybertronians. “We can have them extracted and removed in 16.03 minutes and 0.45seconds. We already have agents in position and a Skullegg shuttle is ready Mrs. Wolfang.” The purple mech stated professionally. “Albert has already given his clearance; I’m simply waiting your approval before starting the mission.” He added simply, then listen intently to the conversation between Discord and Jessica. It seems being a femme had seen his former Master go through many changes, perhaps even a femmes natural coding that spurred a protectiveness over sparklings, Cybertronians or otherwise. It was fascinating all the same.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Wolfang furrowed his brow, as he heard the tone from his wife. “I’m on my way Jess!” He said with a serious tone laced with his concern for his wife. The wolf reploid went quadruped and made a run at full speed towards Tara. He was sure that if anyone could make it through that maze of a fortress to where Jess was, it was one of Wily’s own…
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Shinobi robot master closed one of his eyes and nodded to Tara. “So I wasn’t the only one that noticed then. I got a bad feeling…” Shadow man stated to the newer wily model. Before he could say more, they cybernetic form of Albert wily reached the entrance. “Welcome home Tara. I didn’t expect you so soon.” He stated warmly, all his creations were like his children and he wouldn’t turn them away unless there was good reason. “Do come in, I fear you caught me in the middle of a discussion with Mrs. Wolfang and a few others.” He admitted, ready to turn and return back in.
