Sazh sighed when Alice began to speak to Rajh again. It seemed like those two were going to go in circles forever but the boy Noel cut it short. Sazh gave the kid an approving nod.
Once Diest had started talking about the scientists as well as Elekna Sazh made his way over to Kain and the boy to listen in. He decided to stand next to Kain as Deist let them in on what little knowledge he had. Rajh kept near Sazh but he wasn't really listening. he wasn't overly familier with the Moonlit Plains or the Tihlit forest and certainly knew nothing of the shrine but the arcane hills he felt he had a grasp of, he didn't recall travelling much.
Sazh sighed when Deist said he didn't know anything on how to get back but decided to press more questions himself. "So what do you know about these scientists then?" He asked but before the boy could answer the was a rustle in the bushes and a young boy come out from them. sazh was on high alert as this boy spoke and began to reach for his Vega 42's. Rajh turned and faced the new arrival as well.

When the girl asked if Kain was Deist's father, the boy answered, "Yeah! What about it?" Then the girl told him that he looked like an artificial to her, but she won't go through the whole thing is fake to him. "Don't need to, I'm already know what I am," Deist said as he didn't care much for the girl's snarky attitude. Then the nicer brown-haired boy introduced himself as Noel. "Nice to meet you, Noel! That's some bratty sister you got there," Deist said as he was teasing about the girl. Then the older black man asked Deist what he knew about the scientists and he replied, "Like I said; all I know is that they want to do some kind of experiments on us." Then they all heard rustling in the bushes. They turned to face the bushes as the girl said that they hear him breathe as he walks heavily. Then the blonde-haired boy, who looked to be about 17, came out of the bushes to reveal himself. "That's one of the scientists!" Deist cried. Kain drew his lance and pointed it at the scientist as he asked demandingly with wariness, "Who are you?!" Kain was sensing a fight coming very soon and he had to be ready to deal the first strike or avoid the first hit to him.

Sazh nodded as his hopes for more information were dashed by the boy's words. The Diest identified the newcomer as one of the scientists. With those words both Rajh and Sazh drew their duel pistols. Rajh really preferred the rifle form but didn't want to risk making himself vulnerable for the time it would take to change the Denebs. "Well since he is a scientist I think we can assume he knows what's going on." Sazh said sternly to the group. Rajh made sure to aim at the boys arms and legs. He would be no good to them dead.

The scientist raised an eyebrow at the group, especially the man pointing guns at him, "Oh no, what every will I do?" He smirked, "Now I'm really not the one you should be pointing guns at. It should be Alice." He gestured to the girl who had taken out her blades in defense, "You see, she knows all about us scientists, if fact, she is one!" He exclaimed happily. Alice said nothing in her defense and instead, Noel looked down at her accusingly. The scientist shrugged at not being able to get a rise out of her, "Oh well, might as well introduce myself; Zerek." He answered shortly, "Seriously though, get that gun away from me. You can't kill me."

((I've forgot to mention that I've just put up a list of scientists today.))
Kain looked at Alice with suspicion while Deist looked at her in shock. "No way!" Deist said. "I thought you knew all the scientists by looks, Deist," Kain said without taking his stern eyes off of Alice. "I've only seen some of them, not all. I had no idea she was a scientist," Deist said. Then Zerek the scientist told the brothers to put their guns down as they can't kill him. But Deist thought that he was only lying, so he took out his lance and yelled, "Oh yeah? Well let's see about that!" He yelled out a battle cry as he jumped high into the air and came down at Zerek with his lance pointed down at him as Deist attempted to stab the scientist on top of his head or impale him.

Zerek stepped away from Deist with a growl as the spear caught the side of his arm, "Hey, I still feel pain, kid so knock it off." He growled, it seemed he was losing his smugness to the growing tension. Zerek had a feeling it would end badly for him if he stuck around to long but he wanted Alice to pay for betraying the scientists, "I'm not the one you should be going against, I mean honestly; you have an enemy amongst your numbers!" He grinned, "Go on, honey, tell them all about how you plan to bring them straight to us for experimenting." He nodded his head.
Alice stole a glance at Kain who hadn't stopped starring at her since Zerek had arrived. She wanted so badly to punch in the scientist's pretty little face and maybe he wouldn't be so smug, "Don't call me that you prick!" Alice yelled, "And I have no intentions to do anything like that!" She defended herself. Noel glared at her as he prepared to attack her. Alice faced him and took a step back, "Really Noel... You have to believe me! I left the scientists; there's no way I'd still be helping them!" She panicked.
"How fun it is to see you so panicked, little Alice." He grinned.

((I'll wait for Enkie to post.))
After Deist's jump attack on Zerek, the boy scientist told everyone that he's not the target they should be attacking, but Alice herself. "Then I guess we'll have to take you both down!" Deist said to him as he was still intent on attacking Zerek. He thrust his lance at the slightly older blonde. When Zerek beckoned for Alice to tell them all about how she was going to lead the group to the scientists to trap and experiment on them, Alice in her panic denied that. Sometimes people who panicked were truly lying and Kain knew that. "Do you have any proof that you're innocent in all this, Alice?" he asked her. He watched her intently as he looked for signs of lying.

((I'm sorry you guys are gonna have to explain how control of the scientists works. XP))
Rajh stepped back as Diest engaged with Alice and took the oppertunity to change his guns into their rifle form and took aim at Zerek once again from one knee. He had claimed that Alice was a scientist and while Rajh wasn't fond of the girl the man had yet to provide proof. he didn't care if the girl was panicing, some people just paniced, it didn't mean she was hiding something. "Claim what you will pretty boy, but as far as I am concerned the girl is innocent until proven guilty. You with me bro?" While still unused to being called bro Sazh did agree. "Yeah, she may be rude but she's also been nothing but helpful." Sazh proclaimed to the scientist. "Move outta the way kid!" Sazh yelled to Diest, just before firing two rounds in rapid succession at Zerek's legs. Rajh followed up with a single shot from his rifle at the confirmed scientist's chest.

((Any scientist you created, you control. Zerek is my precious baby thus he's mine xD))
Zerek swiftly jumped up onto a tree branch above, avoiding the bullets flawlessly. He grinned, "So she's actually helping you!?" He exclaimed, a loud laugh following, "Man, Alice, you're snake's tongue is better than I expected!"
Alice was thankful for people like Sazh an Rajh; they were so kind. But there was still that man Kain and his son. Alice turned to look at Kain as she held her swords out in front of her in a cross formation. She suddenly realized how bad things were for her as it stood; she had five people against her right now and then Zerek if she managed to convince them of her loyalties. Alice sighed, "No... I have no proof that I'm not with the scientists anymore but... You have to believe me!" She exclaimed, "I'm really not a part of them now! I can't prove to you where my loyalties lie but please... You have to believe me!"
"Oh Alice, you're killing me!" Zerek cackled, "Your lies are so strong that you've even gained a higher rank then me! Come on, just give it up already,. The odds are against you." On the outside, Zerek enjoyed this but in reality, he knew that Alice had some trust from the two older men with guns. The put a hand on the hilt of his sword, "I'm not the enemy at hand."
"I hate to admit it..." Noel began, "But he's right." However, the boy kept one sword pointed at Zerek and the other at Alice.
((I was ninjaed xD))

((His name is Deist, Enkie. Not Diest. I didn't misspell.))
Kain heard the men siding with Alice on this and said that she was innocent until proven guilty. Come to think of it, the scientist girl did help them and her brother escape the shrine and she seemed to be against Zerek. "Wah!" Deist cried as he ran out of the way before the men shot at the enemy scientist. Alice said that she didn't have any proof that she was working for the scientists, but she was begging for everyone's trust. There didn't seemed to be any sign of lying coming from the girl this time, but there was truth in her eyes. Zerek continued to call Alice a liar and he looked about ready to fight as he tried to remind everyone again that he wasn't the enemy. Noel took the scientist's word as he pointed both swords at his sister and Zerek. Kain, who was starting to believe Alice but not yet completely, said to her, "Fine, we'll believe you for now. But you must promise to never betray us, alright?"

Alice seemed truly happy after she gained some trust of Kain and Deist but she knew it would take much longer to fully gain their faith. She looked up at Noel who had lowered his blades from the girl and instead pointed both at Zerek, "I'm willing to give her a chance but she needs to be watched..." Noel gave a sideways glance to Alice who also looked ready for a fight.
"Alright so the princess of lies lives to fool once again?" Zerek questioned their faith, "Well, I'm hopelessly outnumbered..." He began, then quietly whispered to himself, "Better get that damned Jamal..." He jumped off the branch and smiled at Alice in the most condescending way he possibly could, "Make sure you bring them to the back entrance, darling." He said before disappearing in a black corridor that he had conjured up.

((My bad Red XP I'll try to spell it right from now on. And I do believe an idea is being formulated in my mind for a scientist of my own *dark grin*))
"Tsk, awfully nimble for a scientist." Sazh muttered to himself Holstering his guns after Zerek disappeared into a some kind of corridor. Rajh lowered his rifle and turned to Alice. "Alright he's gone now but do you mind enlightening us as to what he was going on about? I mean people don't just go around yelling bloody murder without some kind of reason right?" He asked wanting to understand what had just happened. Sazh found himself a patch of ground and sat down on it with a sigh. "Man this is just great. I just started to settle down and now I've been brought to some world where I am once again on the run. I hope Dajh is ok." "You're still on about that? I'm telling you bro those scientists messed with your head. You don't have a son to be concerned about."

Alice glanced up quietly before falling on the ground, crossing her legs as Noel sat next her, legs out straight and leaning on the palms of his hands. The young girl looked in the direction that Zerek had left, "Zerek isn't a normal person; trust me, he's the most obnoxious person you'll ever meet." She then turned to the rest, "I used to be a scientist and I admit, the only reason why I achieved a rank higher than him was through lying. He's hated me for it since then. You have every right not to trust me but I'm not lying when I say that when it comes to defending ourselves against the scientists, I'm pretty much your only hope."
Her brother seemed unconvinced, "I don't know if what you and that scientist said is true but either way, you're going to be more like a prisoner than an ally. You know that, right?" Noel confirmed.
She scoffed, "So I guess you have a little dark in you..." Alice then lifted her head to the others, "If it helps you trust me more, I'll answer anything you have to ask of me..."

Noel said that he would give Alice a chance, but she needed to be watched at all times. "That's a good idea! That way we'll know for sure if she's friend or not," said Deist. Then Zerek jumped off the brance and left. "Hey wait!" Deist cried as he tried to get the scientist to stop. "Let him go, Deist. He's not worth our time now," said Kain. The teenage son turned his protesting look at his father and objected, "But father!" "We'll get him when the time comes, don't worry about it, son," Kain assured. Next time, Kain won't intend to let Zerek get away. "Alright, if you say so," Deist said. They listened to the younger brother asking Alice a few questions and she said that she achieved a high rank because of her ability to lie, which made Zerek jealous. 'A child prodigy; just like the twins Palom and Porom except she's older than them,' Kain thought. Alice said that they had every right not to trust her, but she was their only hope against the scientists. Then she gave permission to ask any questions if it would help gain their trust. "I have a few questions that need to be answered, but we'll ask them one at a time. First of all, why do these scientists want to experiment on us?" Kain asked as he crossed his arms with his finger tapping.
((Hey, was Noel's memory world the Archlyte Steppe?))

((I was thinking of that being Sazh's maybe? Noe's would be something along the lines of the Dying World. It could be in front of the Gate of Ragnarok since that's an area that's desolate anyways.))
Alice thought for a moment before answering, "Well, the majority of their reason is to see how humans have adapted to different circumstances of their planets so it's just curiosity..." She trailed off for a moment, "But that was a long time ago. Now it appears that they want them just for pure enjoyment. I didn't figure it out until a week ago so I left them." Her eyes became clouded, "They're experiments now change the complete composition of those they take in as subjects."
After a few moments of silence, Noel spoke up, "What about what Zerek said," He began, "He said that we can't kill him; that he'd just come back to life after-wards."
"Oh, right..." Alice sighed, "Each scientist has their chemical make-up altered to the point where they are practically indestructible beings. If you kill them, they just reappear at the base in a weakened state. After a few days, they're good as new." She looked at the others, "But since I left, I don't have this ability now. I'm as human as all of you."
