Snippet #1621449

Subject 12 merely yawned, making his way through the house to find a comfortable place to sit and watch. He filtered through the possessions of the people who used to live here, nothing remotely like the technology today's mutant race had. The last inhabitants were humans, he gathered that much by some pictures dotted around the house. Eventually he gave up finding anything of worth, slumping back onto a comfortable chair and just waited. Waited for this so call God to show up. Many thoughts run through the head of Subject 12 as to the proposal which 19 gave him months and months ago, only now deciding to actually take action. "He takes his time..." 12 mumbled, ending it with a small sigh. Should I join this guy? It's either that or 21 and he's not exactly the easiest person-- machine to get along with. But he did help me... Another sigh came, this time much longer and drawn out, looking down at the embedded red gem in his hand. If I don't help him then he can obviously cause some sort of back-fire? But wait... 19's supposed to be a God. Surely he would be able to give me the same power this piece of rock does. If not more... I just have to choose the winning side.

12 had just finished his thoughts, the time wasting away as he buried himself deep inside his mind and making last minute debates about who to join. "Hello Subject 12 did you thought of my request I sent you?" The voice seemed to come out from nowhere, but 12 immediately knew who it was and began to smile widely. Subject 19 then appeared from the shadows, the striking white hair in complete contrast with the blackness from whence he came. Subject 12 stood up, taking a few steps towards Subject 19, however both of his hands kept by his sides, twitching with anticipation. "How can I not of thought about it, you gave me enough time after all." 12 said with a slight hint of sarcasm in his voice, all the while the same smile remained plastered on his face. He tilted his head to the side now, his smile fading away until it was completely gone and replaced with a quizzical look. "How do I know you're the real Subject 19 and not some clone or fill in for him? For all I know you could be on the side of 21." he straightened up and looked down at his hand, bringing it up to his face. "My answer to you know and whether you get to shake this hand in agreement, depends entirely on your next answer. Give me a reason why I should join you."

Watching the conversation between 21 and 77, Subject 16-B just stood away from them all and just in front of his counter-part 20-B, who to his surprise was actually calming down. He hadn't known 20-B that well, but he did know one thing; his will to fight was high. He had of course gotten the best results during training, certainly not someone to be messed with. Despite all that, he seemed extremely loyal to both 21 and 16, compelling with the most subtle of hints to cease fighting. Subject 16-B couldn't help but smile to himself as he looked back at the other servant of 21. "16-B right?" His smile instantly faded and his attention was brought upon Subject 77. "I guess it is smarter to just listen and nod?" 16-B couldn't help but smile once again, nodding in response to the other mutant's question. He then looked to the shape passing by him and taking steps in front, staring straight at the bowed back of Subject 20-B. "Master 21 may I ask... Do you have a record of these 2 mutants so that I can see if they are skilled in combat or do I have to find this out in a training season with them because I would like the do that." He asked the droid or 21 as they would call it. 16 mentally face-palmed, he lead himself to believe that there was more to this mutant than fighting, however that proved to be untrue. "I have knowledge of their ways but a fight would be good for both parties to know how strong the other is, so I have no rejections to a dual but first they need to know why and when." The fact that 21 agreed to 20-B having a fight was a little unsettling, they were supposed to be allies and more important things were at hand, like 19 being an example.

Suddenly a star flew out of the sky and 16 looked straight up, narrowing his eyes at the fleeting ball of light. I'm not an expert but that doesn't seem normal... He sighed mentally, his eyes following the star's every movement, it seemed to want to land somewhere on the planet, somewhere which wasn't exactly the other side of the world either. He then let his gaze rest upon 21 to see what his take would be on that particular star. Is that... 19? No... why would he come here? And even if he did, he didn't land near us. Surely he'd only come here to fight... right? The whole thing confused 16, however he wouldn't show anyone that, just keeping up a neutral face."Some time ago 19 the center of endless power and immortality was defeated by me only to be betrayed as the alter ego seemed to have tricked me to have some amusement and he's now creating a almost invincible force that is going to destroy earth and then all live. This group is made up from the most gifted mutants I could gather to make a stand against him now you know now you can decide whatever die trying or die running." 21 said in reply, although it didn't tell 16 anything about the star. Whether he knew what it was or not and just decided not to tell them, 16 didn't really know. Of course he would have noticed it, but maybe if it was 19 he blocked a signal? It was all so confusing to 16 and he let out a sigh. "Master 21... If I can ask... What is that star?"
