Helix Operatives: Creation

White Flag

Stood before the Helix Division was the Gene Force, dressed with their weapons and armor. "Who are they?" Asked Schloss with her weapon in hand.

"Bad guys," said Seeker.

"Says the people who blow up a mansion," said Inferno.

"Says the people who support slavers," said Spire.

"Can we save the name calling and finger pointing for later?" Asked Silence.

"Da, we should focus on issue hand," said Nul'.

"Seriously Zeillian? You're using that broken English excuse?" Asked Mirazh as she kept her SMG in hand. "You told me once that's how you'd get out of a conversation, but no, you had to build it into that hideous uniform as well."

"I still don't know who you are," said Nul'.

"Hurtful Nebo, hurtful," said Mirazh.

"It's Nul' now... No one has called me that for a long time," said Zeillian.

"Wait... Who the fuck's that behind the shield?" Asked Valor.

"A pissed off asshole," said Berserk, keeping his shield between him and them.

"That's the second-best kind of asshole," said RX.

"What's the first?" Asked Berserk.

"A fucked one," said RX.

"...I'm surrounded by idiots," said Seeker.

"Ahem..." said Silence trying to refocus the two sides. "I take it you got the video?"

"Yes... We'll help on one condition," said Ashes as he walked up to him. "You help us find and kill someone too." The two stood face to face to each other, neither blinking at that moment.

"Who?" Asked Silence keeping his eyes on Ashes's.

"A serial killer known at the Puppeteer," said Ashes.

"Oh, that fucker, yeah we'll help," said Silence. "So, what I'm thinking..."

"Before we go after your problem we need to know where our problem is first," said Ashes, interrupting him.

"Good point... What I was thinking was to lead our fucker to where the Puppeteer is and take them both out in one big explosion," said Silence. "So, if you'd let me finish then we can work out details... Fair...?"

"...Fair... But we'll need to keep this little temporary thing a secret," said Ashes.

"Nah, figured we'd just flaunt it in a huge paraded and all that," said Silence with a smile.

"I'm regretting this already," said Ashes as he put his paw on his visor.

"We all are," said Valor with a heavy sigh. "It's just something that he has a habit of causing. It's like he's an endless black hole of sarcasm and bad ideas."

"What about the people he fucks?" Asked Spire as her eyes darted over to him.

"...I'm going to shut up now," said Valor.

"You know what... We need to figure out a place to talk about this... But we need to find the Puppeteer first," said Ashes.

"Right, well then... Wait a second..." said Seeker as he shot to attention.

"What's up Seeker?" Asked RX with a slightly concerned look on his face.

"Didn't Angel say that if we all got together that the Puppeteer would be stronger and be able to get all of us?" Asked Seeker.
