Yellow Bishop; Support

The Yellow Bishop, which had been assigned to the Playhouse to keep watch over the goings on of the Broken Homes Orphanage and the rest of the Yellow Deacon units from the higher parts of the skyscraper tower, would look on at the Yellow Knight, Yellow Pawn and Yellow Rook that had gone out before the Yellow Bishop. The Yellow Knight and Yellow Pawn returned to the Playhouse from the Orphanage and checked in with the Yellow Bishop before they passed into the Courthouse.

The Yellow Knight said, "The Yellow Rook has gone out in front to protect the door. There seems to have been a disturbance out in the field. I saw some strange figures lurking around that might have gotten inside." When the message was passed on, the Yellow Bishop would acknowledge this information and send the Yellow Knight and Yellow Pawn off, back into the Yellow Deacons' territory, whilst the Yellow Bishop, himself, would keep watch over the area. He was focused intently on the field just outside the Broken Homes Orphanage, where he could see, from this vantage point, figured that did not look like Dolls or Yellow Deacon members. Alleged; Valparaiso Denizens.

Shortly after the Yellow Knight left the area, some of the Mechanica made their way to the Yellow Bishop, knowing him by his attire and his adornments that he was one of the ones that was different from the normal Mechanica. "Help!" they cried. "Someone is in the Orphanage threatening us!" Their cries and pleas seemed urgent. "They're in there right now! What will we do?" The Mechanica had no idea how to react because it wasn't in their systematic functionality to deal with these sorts of foreign matters too far outside their normality. The jarring disruption was more stressful than it may have seemed, because when all they knew was their system and something was working outside of it, lots of things seemed hopeless to the Mechanica all at once. Thus, they needed assistance from one who was constantly working outside of systematic order; A Valparaiso Denizen, and one who was already dedicated to an actual cause. Thus, the Yellow Deacons, and this Yellow Bishop, specifically, might have been able to answer their call.

"What's that?" the Yellow Bishop responded, "Someone's gotten inside that you don't know?" If anyone got beyond the perimited of the orphanage then they'd be getting too close to the headquarters. "They must have followed the Yellow Knight inside..." he deduced, finding that to be the only logical explanation. "... I'll just have to deal with them myself, then..." The one that was inside of the Orphanage could be dealt with from the inside, and the one outside was still very much in sight, being outside in the field. He turned to the Mechanica and said to them, "Go back into the Orphanage and calm down the others, then tell them to do this..." The Yellow Bishop started to whisper to the Mechanica in secret, then would stand upright and cast them off back to the Orphanage, whilst he gazed out of the window and began muttering to himself.

The Yellow Bishop jumped when he heard the voice of the one who was over even his own superior, and would come to attention rather immediately, without turning around. "Dismissed?" he would say, giving a synopsis of the orders. "As you wish, my lord." The man would bow his head, daring not to speak anything further. He knew what he was to do at this point, and would go to retrieve the Yellow Rook that they may both return to the Yellow Deacons now.

There was a loud rumbling in Mechanica's Factorial Village once the soul of Tear began emanating. The entire village would start to rear up and begin mass production.

All around the entire border of the Factorial Village, the Mechanica that were already in production, many of which were stored within the 'Mechanica Wall' itself would start to release them out into the streets of Valparaiso, and also flooding the interior of the Factorial Village, itself. They spread out just about everywhere across the surface of Valparaiso, including in the skies. The ones that were released beyond the wall would begin to fill the empty buildings; only the ones that had been refurbished, whilst the others would go toward the areas that were still in ruin and begin to deal with those.

Even further away, out in the outskirts, the Mechanica that were readily active to scope out that land would cross the area and begin designing a blueprint for the extra layouts of extensions to the city. Some would even stretch all the way out to the Witch City that was way across the barren wastelands.

The exact moment that Tear left was the same instant that, in his place, a construct of himself, a Serviceman, adorned in a similar, yet more official looking black jacket and uniform, accompanied with a police-like hat would remain. It looked as if Tear hadn't moved after the light flashed, but this was no longer the same person, despite having a very striking semblance. "... Yes, Sir!" the Serviceman droned, eyes flashing red momentarily once active. The Serviceman turned, starting on his way out to go deal with those that were not part of the Factorial Village.

The Serviceman who was confused with 'Tear' would halt before Tifaret, knowing that this was one of the ones that he was bid to remove. "I am not Tear," he said bluntly. "I am a Serviceman. I am here to remove you from the premises." He would immediately scan her, knowing that this woman posed a threat should she resist, and immediately began to call for backup Servicemen via Mechanica code, which was their language. "I have been instructed also to inform you that this area is Tensei property used to manufacture and regulate the systematic order and processes of the Tensei Family. Unauthorized personnel, however, even of the Clan, are strictly prohibited in this designated area." The Serviceman spoke as if he were reading a predetermined and preset message. "Come this way and I will escort you out." The Serviceman would not hesitate to start walking toward the exit with full expectation for Tifaret to follow.

Much like Chita, though through different mechanics, Wei could warp as well. It was something he did sparingly, however, because there wasn't much he couldn't accomplish in an orderly fashion with his natural speed. He did not to bother with navigating the entire corporate building in order to find Chita. He locked on to Chita's magic signature, pretty much the exact same thing as a chakra signature, and warp to her location.

When he appeared, Chita was being instructed to follow some man that Wei had no familiarity with. Having missed the bulk of whatever conversation had gone down, he said nothing.

When Tifaret did not follow the Serviceman as he neared the door, he would not stop to turn around. As if expecting that the situation might get out of hand, the Serviceman opened the door to the rest of his called recruits, who had come from their various stations all throughout the Playhouse from doing their services in the mass production and organization of the 'Omocha Productions.' The full number of them lined up outside of the door could not be seen from the perspective inside of the conference room, and when the door was opened, two of them on either side of the doorway would step inside and accompany the first Serviceman on either side of him, making 3 in total at the door to the room and the others patiently aligned outside.

"Step right this way," the three Servicemen said, standing before Tifaret and her companion, whom had suddenly appeared, yet also was still unauthorized and looped together with Tifaret, herself. "We will escort you out of the premises." They raised their hands up uniformly, and electricity began to crackle, surging through their glove-like hands. "Should you resist, we will not hesitate to use force."

"Sounds like there's definitely something here that someone doesn't want you to see." Wei commented when Chita addressed him. He didn't bother with trying to get her to stop resisting and listen to the men that were trying to escort her, and he guessed himself too, off the premises. Chita had only come along in the first place because she was looking for a fight, and hadn't gotten it yet.

Wei's eye was attracted to the electricity that flowed through the men's hands and tossed his hands up for a shrug of his shoulders. He closed one eye, "Guess ya really don't have a choice." He said to Chita, almost egging her on, not that she needed any encouragement from him.

The Servicemen were already clear that Tifaret was going to attack them, and each of them had already actively scanned her energy readings and her velocity as she approached. Prior and simultaneous calculation gave them an opportunity to react. "Halt!" The one she aimed at cried, swiftly dodging the first blow with only the slight ducking of the head, whilst also snatching her arm at the same time as it would have connected with his head. A powerful electrical surge from the 'Tazer Touch' of the Serviceman's hands would send a paralyzing jolt through her arm and possibly her whole body, with enough power to cause the nerves in the area touched to be neutralized and rendered ineffective. The grip of the machine's hand intensified with the strength of Tifa's own force and resistance to counteract her natural power to a reasonable degree.

Another, further away from Wei, would move out of the fray whilst the one closest to Wei would approach him carefully whilst Tifaret engaged the first. "Come quietly and do not resist, or I will have to use force." The electrical current surging through his hand crackled more intensely, ready to deal with him aggressively should he not heed the Serviceman's command to exit quietly and with no resistance. The two were being treated as independent of each other.

Wei. Did. Not. Move.

He stayed perfectly, eerily, still with his arms down to his sides and his eyes open. The only, slight movements from him would be his eyes shifting from Chita's engagement with her Serviceman of choice to the Seviceman that addressed him directly. Other than that, he made no physical movements, not even any that might be perceived as too fast for the naked eye. He didn't do anything, physically.

Metaphysically, he focused his chakra and activated a move combat ready version of his Infestation Release. The surface of his skin shimmered with a layer of silvery blue light, giving visible representation to the passive Aura of Infestation chakra that always surrounded him. This all happened instantaneously, directly after the Serviceman addressed him and displayed his electrical prowess more truculently. He didn't do anything else, and he really didn't need too. Koudo, under normal circumstances, was a defensive fighter, and Wei wasn't any different in that regard.

The Serviceman that was dealing with Tifaret was caught off guard by her sudden drastic increase in speed and power with her next strike, which would both knock away and destroy the Serviceman pretty much on the spot. The body remained intact, but it flew toward the wall and hit hard with a loud thump. The jarring strike broke the Serviceman's circuitry and damaged the body beyond repair or function, but the actual body itself remained completely intact. This deactivated Serviceman had hit the wall beyond the door, out with the others that were lined up, who would readily scan and assess the damages and calculate the next best course of action for dealing with someone of that power. A couple of them would fall out of line and take the fallen comrade down the hall to get repaired. The others merely kept analyzing and assessing how to approach the situation further.

The Serviceman dealing with Wei would take his blatant defiance as resistance and would immediately treat him as Tifaret had been treated by the first Serviceman. "You're under arrest," he said in a rather scripted manner, which seemed to be one of the preset phrases that the Servicemen naturally said. Afterward, the crackling of the electricity pouring from the Serviceman's hand intensified.

However, before this Serviceman had gotten too far in his engagement, the one that had been standing off to the side, critically analyzing and assessing Tifaret and Wei would notice the shift in both energy and power in both Tifaret and Wei when they were actively in battle. "Halt!" He commanded his comrade, who would immediately heed the command and stop on the dime without attacking. "Strike the target from a distance." Though the Serviceman was not aware of exactly what these powers were that belonged to Tifaret and Wei, he was clear that they were both very dangerous to approach and face up close, unlike the regular, weaker beings they generally faced.

The Serviceman standing before Wei would immediately shift his approach, and alter his level of intensity to match what was appropriate within his realm of capability to combat the rising power of his opponents. Without taking focus off of Wei, he walked to the opposite end of the room parallel to the other Serviceman and raised his hand crackling with electricity even still. Suddenly, his entire arm would stream with electricity which bore a great radiance that illuminated the room, even with the lights on. No sooner had the arm of the Serviceman been charged up with more electricity than just in the hand would a heavy bolt of lightning burst from the pointed fingertips with a thunderous roar and a mighty flash. Being far more powerful than the 'Tazer Touch,' this bolt would easily be able to strike down any person with the actual equivalence of lightning, itself.

Meanwhile, at the other end, parallel to the Serviceman that had shot the lightning at Wei, the Serviceman that had assessed Wei and Tifaret would keep his focus on the unoccupied Tifaret, of whom would be met with an array of bullets from the fingertips of the already raised hand of the Serviceman, firing off rapidly like a machine gun or Gatling gun. In the other hand, electricity started to charge, surging up and down the entire length of the Serviceman's arm whilst the bullets fired off endlessly; round after round, at Tifaret.

Wei certainly hadn't been resisting, but he supposed that he hadn't exactly been cooperating either. Even still, the bellicose Serviceman announced what he thought of Wei's inaction. Wei still didn't move, but he eyed the intensity of the Serviceman's electrical current with hunger in his eyes.

Before we could figure out why, a different man told this Serviceman to fall back and attack from a distance. It was sound tactics, and even sounder logic. He could understand why Chita would need to be attacked from a distance, but Wei hadn't done anything, so it was a testament to the robot men's ability to analyze the threat levels of individuals.

Wei breathed, lifting one of his arms and holding out his hand as the Serviceman began to charge his flashy attack. With his hand, he met the mighty blast of electricity, which mimicked the destructive force and energy of an actual lightning bolt to a tee, and snuffed it out. On the surface that's how it seemed anyway. It seemed like Wei just had a high enough level of physical durability to easily tank lightning bolts.

In actuality, he absorbed the electrical energy into his body, using his infestation to take control of it and convert it into electrical power of his own. It was another near instantaneous process that really didn't lend itself well to the eyes or the sixth senses. All that ever happened was that there seemed to just be a sudden jump in the amount of energy that Wei's body was containing; equal to, or slightly lesser than, the amount of energy that he had been met with.

He closed his hand, smothering the smoke that billowed from his palm. He breathed deeply again, before every muscle in his body tensed and flexed and his aura exploded into a more recognizable form than just silvery blue lights. It sparked and cackled to a more life like form that bore a great radiance that illuminated the room, even with the lights on. Yes, it took on the properties of an equivalence to lightning itself.

His hair stood on end and his nerves felt like they were super charged and on fire at the same time, as electricity coursed over him, through him, and around him. It had been many moons since he'd used Lightning Release Armour, but it was still as intoxicating a feeling as it had ever been. Overclocking his neural synapses to a point where his natural reflexes, capable of blocking and absorbing an electrical bolt that stuck as fast and as powerful as an actual lightning bolt, reached greater heights.  

And that wasn't all it could do either.

Wei gently slide a foot across the floor and got into a more recognizable stance for fighting, raising his right open palm, pointed out, slightly over his left open palm, faced downward. He did not move, only breathed, and let the lightning course through him and electrically stimulate his nervous system as it had been doing.

The Serviceman engaging with Tifaret noticed her buildup in energy from behind her shield, and when the shield was erected would hold his fire of his bullets. As the building of the energy occurred, though the Serviceman was not aware of exactly what was going to occur, he was aware that he needed to keep the assault up on Tifaret to prevent her from having an opening to attack. The moment he stopped firing bullets at her was the moment he raised his arm filled with an 'Electric Charge' and raised it up to her with the fingers at a point. Like an electrical cannon, and with just that much force, a bolt of lightning burst from the Serviceman's arm and straight at Tifaret's shield arm with enough force to, if not penetrate it, then knock it away to leave an opening.

Unfortunately, because the Serviceman realistically did not know the extent of Tifaret's abilities, the overhead gauntlet would naturally catch him by surprise and would be crushed under the impressive weight and force of the enormous gauntlet crashing down from above. Though the Serviceman's function ceased pretty much on contact, the body had minimal damages, with only minor dents and dislodged parts. Even so, this Serviceman could no longer continue and would lie motionlessly on the ground after being crushed.

The other Serviceman that was dealing with Wei had critically assessed the scenario after watching its comrade be taken down by Tifaret's disembodied gauntlet, and also seeing Wei's absorption and retention of the lightning bolt that was fired off. These drastic changes in the situation gave the Serviceman more data to work with and adapt to, which would naturally be transferred to the other Servicemen via a connection similar to 'Wi-Fi,' but also brought upon the conclusion that no weapon that the 'Standardized Servicemen Series' would be able to handle them. They were obsolete in forms of actual apprehension of these two powerful foes, but this was their main purpose; to test the waters and assess the situation with the mass-produced 'Standard' units before sending in the more expensive 'Specialized Servicemen Series.' All the Standard Serviceman had to do was critically assess the situation and know that the obsolescence meant passing the task off to a greater unit more fit to handle the situation.

Whilst Wei and Tifaret were busy either building power and dealing with the other Serviceman respectively, the one that remained would no longer attempt to strike either of them, but instead begin calling for backup from one of the 'Specialized Servicemen' that was more suited for dealing with specific tasks instead of general everyday tasks. "Requesting backup," he droned on with predetermined phrases, "Send in the 'Specialized Servicemen Series.' The targets are greater than 'Standard Service' performance." Right away, the Servicemen that were lined up outside, some of the latter units down the line being 'Specialized Servicemen' as opposed to the 'Standard Servicemen' that were nearest to the front would immediately be called forward, and the alignment and assortment of the Servicemen beyond the door would shift on command based on data transmitted to them all by the one inside.

After that, a Serviceman that no longer held human form, but looked more like a machine would hover into the room. It was a large and bulky unit that hovered midair using an unknown propulsion and was heavily armored, with two very large armored claws looking very similar to the armored arm-shield gauntlet that Tifaret sported.


This Serviceman, an 'Overseer,' was called to arms next and upon entry would target both Tifaret and Wei simultaneously. With a flashing gleam of its variable lights that looked like its eyes, it would release two very fast and highly concentrated lasers that could both penetrate steel with ease and also had a high enough energetic polarity where it could penetrate and parry electromagnetic forces such as lightning with equal ease as penetrating a thick steel wall, leaving both Tifaret and Wei in critical danger from these high speed, high powered laser beams from the Overseer.

Simultaneously, the other Serviceman that was found obsolete would immediately proceed to the fallen comrade and pick up the ceased functioning Serviceman and take him outside in order to be repaired, leaving only the Overseer now to deal with the targets.

Wei disagreed with Chita's sentiments. If he had been him, though he wasn't as into technology as Koudo, he would have a preliminary unit to engage foes first, as a vanguard, while the more powerful cavalry would lie in wait until they were called it. It was basic strategy. "No, I doubt this place only has robots of this caliber here. These are just the vanguard." He responded, still holding off from moving until Chita decided when she actually wanted to make a move out of this specific room.

Ultimately, they could make a stand here and destroy everything that came their way, but Wei couldn't shake the feeling that the machines they faced would get increasingly more difficult to handle. Not impossible to handle, but neither he nor Chita could fight forever. Eventually they would lose the war of attrition. "You need to make a decision on if you want to make a stand here or move. You're the one looking for-"

He was cut off be the introduction of a large, less humanoid looking robot entering the room as the Serviceman and his disheveled friend fled. He cocked an eye brow, finding his guess to be correct, even if this was only one other robot. He moved his mouth to speak again, but was immediately blindsided by an assault from the new robot. Thankfully, he wasn't so absorbed in his conversation that he couldn't appropriate the energy of the laser fired at him and add it to his own supply of energy. It didn't matter if it could penetrate or parry electromagnetic forces because Wei could absorb energy of any kind as long as he was conscious to it. Because he was idle, regulating his breathing and had his reflexes super charged, Wei was conscious to everything going on around him right now.

It didn't make this robot any less threatening, though it wasn't that threatening from appearance alone. "You need to decide what to do. I can stand here all day, but you aren't exactly going to find what you're looking for." He finally said to Chita and breathed deeply again. She had taken control of the situation, so it was time for her to fully take the lead.
