Whether You Like It Or Not! (Ethan/Rebellion)

[Saito Kito]

(Has a longer entry post and then my internet kicked off. So I have posted a shorter one >.<")

Ethan's radio broadcast had reached many. Most were too afraid to react. Akassa Hattori had proven her superiority during the battle for Earth, and she had won. There was no one on Earth capable of taking it away from her. Yet Ethan was going to try. Surely there were souls brave enough to stand up for the planet, but even united as a whole the planet could do little to shake her might. They needed a hero. They needed an army capable of fighting back. Ethan was only the start. Whatever he had gathered thus far, it was about to be increased, whether he liked it or not.

"Keep looking, this is the last one!"

Sonya's voice rang out. They had been searching the islands for Ethan for weeks. Sonya was able to sense Ki, and with a great deal of effort had felt Ethan's presence in the general area. It had since gone away. He was good at hiding. The only way they were going to find him was if he in fact wanted to be found. If that was the case he would certainly be able to hear the young girl bellowing her commands to the twelve loyal teenagers that stood beside her. Sonya wasn't certain that Ethan even knew they were alive. The school had been turned to a pile of rubble, but Itan's shielding technology had kept the students safe from its impact. After helping Saito to his feet, and getting Conri to safety, what little good that did, Sonya went back to the students and evacuated them as well. They had since been searching for the blue haired boy.

Sonya and Ethan had not gotten along well in the past, but in comparison to the real danger she felt it was unnecessary to hold onto pety grudges. Hopefully Ethan would feel the same, otherwise their seeing each other again would not play out so well.

[Ohkara Minamaru]

(Hope you don't mind me just jumping in. Figured Ohkara is part of the rebellion, sooo... I'll just leave this here: )

Jumping down from the thick branches of the tree she'd been napping in, Ohkara stretched her back out and let out a loud, long yawn. Brushing the stray bark from her bright yellow, sleeveless gi, she couldn't help but smile, “That had to have been the best nap I've had in forever!” she exclaimed, quickly rubbing the sleep from her eyes. She had only napped for about an hour, but she was now feeling energized. Raising into the air, she let out a huge burst of energy, propelling herself like a rocket, high into the sky above the forest-covered island.

”Woohooo!” she roared, having fun as she soared higher and higher, sending herself shooting through a cloud before plummeting downwards, back towards the sea. Of course, she was able to catch herself way before impact, and levitate above the splashing water. Throwing a few punches and kicks for fun, she pretended to be fighting invisible men. Her movement were quick, and with each release of her attacks, she'd let out a burst of energy around twenty-thousand power level. Really all for fun rather than a training exercise, and she figured that way out here, no one would be bother by her training. After all, why would anyone that could sense her be way out here anyway?

[Saito Kito]

"Jori, Tom. Take to the bushes and prepare an ambush. The rest of you are not fit for combat, hide amongst the brush and do not under any circumstances come out!"

20 thousand? That couldn't be right. She must have been out of sorts, but Jori could sense it to. The older teen still trembled, despite his best efforts not too. The poor boy was doing his best to be brave for his fellow students, but he had reason to be. Akassa's men were brutal, and one at 20,000? Sonya put a soft had on his shoulder. She could feel his skin shaking. He looked at her, his face riddled with fear and determination. He would do as she asked without question.

"Do as I have said Jori. Nothing will happen to any of you while I still breath"

This seemed to calm him down. She had spoken softly as not to embarrass him in front of the others. She was speaking truly, yet it was clear that it may very well come to that. 20,000 wasn't so much that Sonya could not handle it, but if that was his base level while on patrol, what was he hiding. Even doubling in strength would make him formidable, and Gods forbid he was one of the super saiyans. The whole situation wasn't looking good. The boys made their way to the bushes and suppressed their power levels further. Sonya could not yet fly and so a surprise attack was out of the question. She would have to lead him to the ground. As the figure appeared in the sky she barked.

"Here I am bastard!"

[Ohkara Minamaru]

She pretended to spin-kick her invisible attackers, taking them all out with one fluid motion; then used her momentum to continue the rotation a few more times. Slowly spinning to a stop, she rocketed back off, headed north-east. Nearing the first on a small chain of islands, she buzzed by the top, brushing past a few trees, the leaves blowing off behind her like a firework. She was really just unwinding, and enjoying the ride; flying was definitely one of her favorite pastimes.

However, the fun was brought to a screeching halt, as was Ohkara as someone shouted out: “Here I am bastard!”

Catching her off guard, she came to a stop, her body toppling over in the air a few times. Her eyes darted to the island as she slowly righted herself, and it took no time to spot the source of the interruption. It was a lone female, who looked like she was ready to fight. Taking a look around the island, Ohkara confirmed that it did seem that the girl was alone, but then who was she talking to. It couldn't have been Ohkara, she'd never seen this lady before. But the fact was only her and Ohkara were in the area.

Her finger shot up, and she pointed at her face, a look of confusion plastered on it, “Me?” she mouthed in awe. She'd been called many things in her hard life, but never a “bastard”. Her body slowly dropped from the sky, and she touched down a few yards away from the other, “I'm sorry... You must have me mistaken for someone else...” she said, her hand naturally resting comfortably on the handle of her bright yellow umbrella, “My parents were married,” though that might make her sound like a smart-ass, she honestly had no idea how to respond being called such a name; however, she kept her eyes sharp, having noted the woman's agitated state.

[Ethan Snow]

It had been a few days since the attack in Metropolis City but things were starting to return to normal, both for the residents and for a certain blue haired teen who'd taken part in the defense of that city. Today Ethan was on his boat, returning from his latest trip to the big city. he was just a few miles off the coast of his island when an email came in from Mr. Brown over their secure lines of communication. Passing one of the many fishing boats circling the island, Ethan waved to his fellow ship's captain and member of the underground. The boats while indeed farming the ocean for fish were also serving as mobile observation posts, relaying any incursions of the space around the island back to the command center so that any personnel could be properly prepared. The email coming in was one such relay, informing Ethan of the arrival of several youngsters on the island. Looking to the laptop mounted on the control consul, Ethan pulled up the incoming message and waited a few moments as the computer decrypted it. Seven children had been spotted making landfall and were now on the heavily forested side of the roughly circular island, opposite the town. The message didn't include any pictures, at least not yet, but based on the description of the intruders, Ethan was pretty sure he knew who they were. Six boys led by an slightly older, young lady, that could only be... wait, only six? There should be seven, where was Itan? For that matter, shouldn't there be eight? Why wasn't Kit with them either?

"I'll look into it myself, thank you Mr. Brown. Good luck with the polo tournament." Ethan replied to the message sending an encrypted voice message of his own and then throttled the engines of his boat down. Dropping anchor just a few miles from shore, Ethan shut down his houseboat's engines and grabbed his usual assortment of equipment, music player, head phones and the portable portion of his radio set. Then, making sure to set the music player to record, the teen jumped off the back deck of the boat, formed his ethereal surf board and cruised strait across the island, looking for the area in which the group had been reported. The flight was short even under the minimal amount of power the boy was using in order to remain undetected and within minutes he arrived over the area. The trees were quite thick on this side of the island but there were placed one could see through to the ground and after a pass or two, Ethan spotted some bright colors and movement.

"Oh no, don't tell me she's here too..." the shirtless teen grumbled when he recognized the bright yellow umbrella, not feeling up to dealing with both Ohkara and Sonya. Still, they had probably spotted him as well by now, he was after all the only thing in the sky other then a few puffy clouds, so he had no real choice but to descend. Doing just that, Ethan glided down through the trees and touched down, his board evaporating into nothingness as it's three fins touched the surface, allowing the teen to walk the rest of the distance towards the two. The moment he did touch down though he noticed that of the reported seven there was not only one plus Ohkara, had the other boys scattered? He'd find out soon enough anyway.

"Oy, what's this, girl's day out?" the shirtless surfer boy shouted as he walked closer.
