Ahh. Silicis City. Everyone knows how big the city is, the largest in fact. It's not until you step inside you see how huge it really is, streets crowded with merchants and soliders. All walking from whence they came. Only one stood still, a blond-haired woman with a rifle slung across her back, holding up a badly painted sign reading.
"Solider 4 Sale."
Many snickers and sexual innuendos came from many of the soliders walking past her, she bit her lip and continued to bravely hold up the sign, hoping that someone will think "Hey, she's being laughed at by her peers, but she's still holding it proudly! I think I'll hire her! For keeps! Someone with that bravery should be by my right hand all the time!"
The smile on her face slowly faded away, reminding herself that only those kind of things happen to 'special' people, not her. But who knows? maybe it will happen to her.

Mark: That's the way a soldier should act, I know way to many people who would attack those jerks if they said all those things to them. *The voice came from the crowed, he then walked out. He waited a moment then spoke.*... how much do you work for?
*He needed to know a couple things, one, how much is it and second is the money worth her strength. He'll ask one at a time though.*

The sound of a voice perked her ears. "um.." she softly said, darting her eyes around. Her legs began to shake nervously, this was the moment she's been waiting for! "But,Why am I nervous?" she thought, eyes fixated on the man's shoes, clenching the sign tightly "No, I shouldn't be, my chances will be destroyed!" The woman snapped herself into attention, eyes focused on her buyer and alert to her surroundings.
"Depends, What do you want me to do?..."

*He looked around, the man he had fought many times controlled this place. He then looked back at her.*
Mark: Have you heard of the group called the Sumata? Well I'm helping a group called the 'Heroes' who are trying to stop the Sumata. Fighting the Sumata will be more dangerous then anything you'll ever come across, this group holds a large amount of power and I'm only hiring people who can hold their own. Can you?

She nodded "Daa, I have heard of them." The sound of their name made her slightly shudder, The Sumata were evil, EXTREMELY evil. "I've come across many...monsters in my line of work. Each more difficult than the next and each I had survived without a scratch." "okay, that was an exaggeration, but I need to sound tough!"
"I'll do it!" she said, smiling.

Mark: Great, sounds like a person I want watching my back. *he smirked a bit.* before I hire you I will like you do to one thing.
*He looked over, this city had boulders all over the place, Mark picked one out and pointed to it.*
Mark: Crack it or break it, magic, weapons, I don't care. If you can do that I'll hire you.

She nodded and turned toward the boulder. Obviously, a rifle wouldn't be able to destroy it, so she left it on the ground, right beside her. She placed her right hand over her left shoulder and slowly began to move it down, muttering unintelligible words. Her whole entire arm turned into a wisp of darkness, swirling around until she formed it into something sharp and pointy. Eyes turning red, she darted toward the boulder and sliced it. Not clean in half, like she hoped, but destroying it enough to prove her worthy. "That's all you need me to do? I'm in, right?" she asked anxiously. ((hope that wasn't to quick, I figured boulder=no match at all ^^  ) |

[Not at all, from what I read from your powers I thought it'd be no problem.]
*...That was unexpected, she used darkness to break the boulder, Mark's eyes were wide in shock a smile soon appeared.*
Mark: Are you in...? Of course you are, with your powers I'm sure you'll be a great ally! *He stuck out his hand to shake.* I'm not the leader of the heroes, so I can't exactly invite you right in, but sense you'll be working with me so you'll also be working with the heroes, no problem with that I hope?

She shook her head "Non! It's no problem at all! I find it exciting that I am able to work with heroes!" smiling, she firmly shook his hand. "By the way, I don't believe I ever asked you your name, mines Annette."

Mark: Annette, nice name. *He smirked a bit before giving his name.* Mine is Mark Angelus Fri, I know, pretty weird name.

"Non! It's not weird at all!" Annette replied " But, um, may I call you Mark? or do you have some sort of title?"
"And thank you, about the name. Anyways, since I'm now working for you, where shall we head off to?"

Mark: Oh yeah, go ahead and call me Mark, I really need to stop introducing my full name....*He thought for a moment before replying.* Before we go anywhere, I need to tell you: What we are about to do has nothing to do with the Heroes, they are not to know whatsoever and this is strictly kept between us.

"Yes sir. I understand. "she said, raising her arm into a saluting position. "Oh, err, sorry. Old habit. But, um, might I ask what we're doing? Pardon my asking, but the curiosity is killing me."

*He waved his hand as to say, 'no worries'. But then his eyes went dark cold.*
Mark: We're going to assassinate a Sumata. *He had been planning this for months, but he was going to bother Profeta with this, and Andy had a no kill ideal so he was cut out of plan, and despite what Sieg had stated, Mark would kill, but no way in hell would he kill for him. He needed the right person with the strength to help him

Seigmand had been roaming through the business sector when the flash of a dark energy in the distance caught his interest. With curiosity peaked he moved through the crowd, coming up just behind a few people as he saw a strange young woman chatting with Mark.
"Well well, look who managed to get into my city." Seigmand pushed past a few bystanders. "I really have to put some better security in place if a pest like you can slip through. I trust you aren't here to cause trouble Mark. Or would that little showing of dark power belong to someone else?" He scanned the crowd quizzically, his eyes catching for a brief moment on the large device strapped to the woman's back. It looked reminiscent of the weapons he'd seen on Earth, but thought it best not to call attention to it... yet.
