Not a lot to say on this one.
Kodachi recognized him instantly. Hugh Jones was
synonymous with Roxxon the company he founded, while remaining its
primary shareholder.
�Yes, Mr. Jones?� Kodachi asked in flawless English.
FYI, smart quotes rather than standard ones (although it seems that
fewer readers are bothered
by them these days. I'm reading this in Mozilla Mail, and they show up
fine.)
We�d like the Avengers to guard the piece until it can be dealt with. If
you can arrange this for me, I would be more than happy to share some
information that concerns KI.�
Kodachi had to admit, it was a tempting offer, one she couldn�t refuse
for both reasons Jones had stated. Super-villains needed to be
incarcerated and she needed to protect her company, especially since
someone had attempted to kill her, as well as them probably killing both
her brother and father. �I see. Very well. I�ll have Iron Rose broach
the subject. If the Avengers are agreeable, I�ll inform you.�
I was half-expecting some sort of Roxxon double-cross which never
happened. Kodachi,
I thought, went along a bit gullibly here, but in a way suitable to her
age. An older Kodachi
would, I think, have verified Jones' information through a few more
sources before agreeing..
�Damn! Only an intact Evil Eye would properly power the master mold
unit. As it is now, it can only power one individual unit. A very
powerful one, to be certain, but only one. We still lack a power source
to mass produce the units.�
�We still have the two prototypes. And a third is being built by the
German branch,� Roquat pointed out.
Heh. Gee, I wonder what they could be talking about? (The anime side
is obvious.
"Master mold" rings a dim bell of memory on the Marvel side; wasn't that
a very large Sentinel?)
And thus ends Act II of Avenging. Each character was focused on in a
chapter, subplots advanced, and a little bit of humor and such. Next Act
should be more focused (at least that is what the outline suggests.
Tentative title for it will be �All You Need is Hate� but that might
change. But there should be an on going storyline for it. In any case, I
hope you enjoyed.
Indeed I did. Thanks for writing and sharing!
