Technology Vs. Organism

[IHeart]

(OCC: On the 9th of january at nighttime. It's simply Mechakara and IHeart only---But in the end Linkara pops in. A specific fight/interrogation thread)

IHeart shivered. It was colder than usual. She knew that sense. She had that problem before. She had only one experience but she remembered it all too well. Someone was following her. Or better yet someone discovered her. Grabbing a gun Linksano gave her in case, she hid behind a tree hoping the said enemy did not spot her. She had her heart beat loudly in her ears

[Mechakara]

"You can run but you can't hide." said a familiar mettalic voice.

Mechakara was the one following Iheart. He figured she would be the perfect source of information once he got it from her. Of course she wouldn't give it willingly at first but he would change that. He smirked as he got closer as she hid behind a tree.

"Come out, come out. Wherever you are." said Mechakara.

He smirked firing a blast at the tree reducing it to ashes.

"Hello, Iheart. It's been so long since we've last seen each other. I'd like to catch up." said Mechakara.

[IHeart]

IHeart knew incredibly well what her old enemy was capable of. She remembered her last encounters and even a battle between her and him. She was definitely intimidated and only closed her eyes as he teased and mocked her fear. He knew just as well as she did that he was one of her fears.

She shrieked when the tree she was hiding under was crumbled to ashes in a matter of seconds. Damn he was slightly more powerful than ever. IHeart then narrowed her eyes and replied snarkily "Yeah, it has been a long time. I think we DO need to catch up. Not today though, got plenty of stuff to do" With that she shot her gun attempting to distract him

[Mechakara]

Mechakara smirked turning on his forcefield as the blast deflecting off him. He began walking towards Iheart hoping to take her down.

"There's nowhere to run or hide now. Why not give up? You know you can't defeat me. Linkara's never destroyed me for good. I just keep coming back. It's inevitable. But if I wanted to harm you I'd have shot you instead of the tree. I just want to have a friendly chat." said Mechakara.

[IHeart]

IHeart was confused. Normally Mechakara would grab her throat at this point. Now he wanted to talk? What the hell did he want? More importantly what did he want from her exactly? Lowering her defences slightly, aware that she was in fact still in one peace, she came closer to Mechakara. Willing to listen for a short period of time

She attempted to keep as civil as possible when she spoke "What do you want to talk about?"

[Mechakara]

Mechakara smirked glad she had stopped for now. Hopefully he could get some information out of here. Well he would one way or another but the simple way would be less work and less painful for her in the end.

"Why are you in this war in the first place? Shouldn't you be at home with your father?" said Mechakara.

[IHeart]

IHeart narrowed her eyes. This metal mouth actually had the balls to put her father in a situation he wasn't even involved in. As much as she wanted to confront him about said comment she replied "I came to the war because of my friends needing me. That's why. You may not find me tough for saying so, but I actually care about them"

Feeling a bit daring, she smirked herself and asked tauntingly "Why are you here?"

[Mechakara]

Mechakara smirked guessing that already. He was surprised Critic and the others let her stay. It wasn't a staged takeover, or a larper quest. This was real danger. But then again most of them weren't prepared for this war either. He looked at Iheart and smiled genuinely at her. If anyone else had done it would have been calming but on a cyborg like him it gave the opposite effect.

"I'm here to settle an old score. But I'm here to talk about you. Tell me has any more of your pals shown up yet? Especially ones from Linkara's little playgroup?" said Mechakara.

[IHeart]

IHeart's heart dropped. She was off-put by Mechakara's calm stature. He was very calm but had a arrogant or annoyed flow whenever he was, but now? He acted as if they were old friends. It was very clear he wanted more information than what she let on.

Nevertheless she was pleased she didn't set him off... Yet. Speaking again, naively losing some of her cautiousness "Yes... You'd probably guess we'd need more help. We're like your army. A leader's gotta have soliders. We pretty much have 90's kid and Chester A bum but that's pretty much it"

She was somewhat lying, for many have joined. She only forced out names that were seemingly harmless. 90's kid was able to handle having his name spit out, and chester? Man was that word "handling having his name spit out" an understatement, for chester wasn't really a threat. Sorry for her to think so but it was the way it was.

[Mechakara]

"90's Kid." spat Mechakara annoyed.

90's Kid had been one of Linkara's closest allies and had been one of the few to help beat Mechakara in his first attack against Linkara. He'd enjoy taking care of them both.

"Is it true that traitor Dr. Linksano is there as well? I want to have a chat with him." said Mechakara.

[IHeart]

IHeart resisted the urge to smile. She found Mechakara's soft spot. He was now annoyed though so she had to ease the way out. She also couldn't tell him about Linksano, ESPECIALLY since he wanted to speak with the "traitor". Who knows what he'd do?

"I can't say that. You know how the typical thing is "They're my friends" "I have morals" blah blah" IHeart replied with a hint of comical joking flair around her tone.

"Just a question. Is Lord Vyce here or something? No need to give me a yes. Just making conversation after all you wanted to talk to me" IHeart's tone wasn't teasing nor comical it was gentle. As if not to offend him. She had to be careful, she knew that

[Mechakara]

Mechakara frowned seeing she avoided his question. Two could play at that game.

"Maybe he is. And maybe he isn't. He's of no use to me. Linkara has his ship, so Vice isn't much of a conqueror anymore." said Mechakara.

He paused as a thought struck him. Perhaps when he returned he could ask Dr. Insano to look for him. If Vyce could reclaim Comicron 1 from Linkara in exchange for working with them then they would have an even greater edge on Linkara and his pitiful allies.

"So how is Linkara these days? And the rest of your friends? Oh right Critic nearly got himself killed. And the dear Nostalgia Chick and her pal Morpheus are our prisoners. Such a shame to break up a happy couple." said Mechakara.

[IHeart]

IHeart knew she wasn't going to get anywhere. She knew he was annoyed with her. She had no concern of that. She knew this game was now starting. She had to be aware of him and what he planned to do. This was very much a battle of wits and who would crack first. Hopefully mechakara was more levelheaded than he seemed

Suddenly, it was as if her world stopped at Mechakara's last paragraph. It made her blood boil but her face showed no emotion. Forget it. She would never allow her enemy the satisfaction of successfully pissing her off. She would make him work for her anger. She had a restraint in her voice, sadly impling he successfully offended her "Linkara's pretty damn powerful wouldn't you agree? Oh sure you'd never admit it but you HAVE been lazered down to nothing twice already" Ha. She made her point across without even having to raise her voice

She nevertheless continued "You really think you're going to keep them like their yours?" She obviously meant morpheus and chick "We'll find a way to get them back. When we do, I'm going to be there smirking"

(OCC: *cough* No you won't IHeart. Hint hint again)

[Mechakara]

"On the contrary my dear he's not powerful enough. Like I said I keep coming back. His futile attempts at destroying me only delay my plans." said Mechakara.

He smirked seeing he'd gotten to her with his mention of Chick and Morpheus.

"I don't think so. Your pals aren't going to rescue your little friends. Poor Nostalgia Chick. At least she has some company in that jail cell of hers. Of course she might as well be alone after what happened to her." said Mechakara.

He smirked dropping a hint they'd done something to her to see if it would set her off or make her curious to stick around so he could get more information.

[IHeart]

IHeart had to admit. She was getting more annoyed than she intended, she was being simply disregarded and her attempted insults were useless. Mechakara clearly wasn't offended. She failed hard

Suddenly, she couldn't help but have her attitude immediately change. It turned from annoyance to concern. Mechakara gave a very obvious hint that they have done something to Chick. She couldn't play the chirade of being sutble anymore. Something was wrong and he wouldn't talk until she did

"Wait! What do you mean "shame what we did to her" what did you do? What did your friends do? I swear if you harmed her, I'll... I'll think of something!" IHeart knew her threat would fall completely flat. She might as well asked for him to kick her grave but she didn't care. She would stay but only if he told her what he did to Chick
