Barias glanced at Solranous, and muttered,
"Hold that thought."
He pulled out a smal flat disk with a green light at the center, then ran at the Queen. He hurled the disk, which attached itself to the Queen's underside, then seemingly vanished. He walked back to Solranous and replied,
"Yeah. Varying shades of purple and blue, but yes. Also, whatever they infect will usually have a biomechanical appearance."
He opened a panel on his wrist-armor, and pressed a button, glancing at the Queen. Those with keen sight saw where the disk had landed on the Queen distorted for a moment, then vanished again. Barias smirked.
"Tracking device. But cloaked. So we know where they are, but they don't know it's on 'em. And I damn well know it won't be found, because it sends of signals that makes the others think it's another aparoid." He stated to Solranous.
Meanwhile, X, Shive, and Reizus wandered over to the others, watching the aparoids retreat. Shive scowled and fired another lightning bolt at the Queen, for the hell of it. That, and he didn't like her. Barias stared at the group in confusion, then remembered something.
"Chiggar!"
He ran back to the beetle-esque alien and kneeled down by her head. He looked her dead in her multifaceted eyes, and his mandibles clicked.
"C'mon Chiggar! Don't die on me, I know you're tougher than that! DON'T YOU DARE F*CKING DIE ON ME!" He screamed.
Shive walked over to Solranous and glanced at the beetle. His heart sank when he saw her lying still like that.

"...No pulse... She's dead..." Solranous sighed, clasping his hands as if in prayer. Chiggar, from what he could see of the last fragments of her memory, had sustained these wounds defending Barias from the Aparoid Queen's attack.
'Rest in peace, pained soul.' Solranous finished.
"Barias, if what you say is true, then you didn't have to put that tracking device on the large aparoid. There base is-" Solranous was cut off...
"-On the moon." by Armageddon, though the demon was nowhere in sight. The Sanghelli could feel the demon's gaze rest upon him.
"Clever, using a tracking device, but these are not the Aparoids you know of. Their signals are different from what you've recorded, so picking out the device was a simple task. I'll leave it be, considering you were going to find out anyways." Armageddon's disembodied voice said.
"damn you, Armageddon. Show yourself!" Solranous roared, glaring at the sky.
"Very well, Solranous, though it should be you answering to me." Armageddon complied, and a 'window' of sorts appeared in the air, revealing the entirity of the demon...
And some one else...
"KISARA!" Solranous cried out, seeing the woman tied up with the end of the rope in Armageddon's jaws.
"Ah, so its true that you fear for her. Very well, perhaps a deal? I'll release her if you..." Armageddon deliberately paused for effect, "...Kill everyone around you, except Shive and Myrr."
"F*** YOUR OFFER! I DECLINE!" Solranous roared instantly.
Armageddon shrugged, "Oh well, it won't be entirely my fault if something happened... say... Assimilation?" Kisara's eyes widened and Solranous' heart clenched.
"You see? Either way you go, I win. If you lose her, your heart will break, and you'll be that much easier to control. If you accepted my offer, there'll be no one to stop me from possessing you again." Armageddon noted, milking this despair for everything its worth.
"damn you, you manipulative b******..." Solranous growled. He clenched his fist in anger. But what could he do now? Armageddon litterally held all the cards on his side of the field. Even if they could get to the moon, they would never be able to reach Armageddon in time before he lost her.
Was there any hope?

The others all growled at the demon, especially Shive, who had his run-in with the demon before. But the others just thought he was a d*ck. Shive sighed, then felt something on his jawline. He touched it, and his eyes shrank. It.. felt like...
Part of a mask.
Shive quickly ripped Hakaisha out her sheath and glanced in the blade's reflection. His hands shook. There, on the side of his jaw, was what appeared to be a strip of bone with several dark-red spikes jutting out of it. He paused, then got a confused look on his face. He didn't hear Evihs... and his eyes weren't changing...
"What the hell?" He muttered silently.
He turned from the others so they couldn't see his face, but he turned around and ran over to Solranous.
"Solranous, if you find a way to get her back, tell me and I'll help. But for now... I gotta go."
He felt his jawline and gasped. The mask-piece grew!
"WHAT THE F*******CK?!!" He screamed as he ran off.
((Borrowing Kizoku for a second))
Solranous's zanpoktou scowled mentally, then his eyes brightened. He gave a deceitful chuckle as he hissed to Solranous,
I think it's time I showed you the Flash Step...

"Flash Step? What is that?" Solranous asked the Zanpoktou.
'Heh, you'll see once I show you.' Kizoku replied. Solranous scowled, noting that he hated secrets.
"Hmm, perhaps you can pull the same stunt those other seven fighters did. Lets see if you can infiltrate our moon base and defeat us on our own turf." Armageddon challenged, before the window closed.
"I hate that guy," Myrr noted.
(OOC: So, I assume you'll set up the thread where Solranous gains Flash Step? 'Cause you know I don't know much about Bleach.)

((Yep. I suppose. Your teacher will be... interesting...))
Barias's shoulders sagged as he glanced one last time at the beetle-alien, then went invisible, stalking off.
She died protecting me... He thought.
X and Reizus glanced at eachother, shrugged, and stated,
"Solranous, if there's anyway we can help, just ask us. We'll be in the forest."
Reizus then teleported away, and X bounded off.
((Borrowing Kizoku again fer a sec))
Aaaaand... done. Okay Solranous, head for the Crater Site. The zanpoktou stated.

'We seem to be using that a lot for training.' Solranous idly thought, before he teleported.
Myrr shook her head and blinked, wondering why he left so suddenly.
"Maybe he's thinking of a plan..."
