Let me tell you how it all works out

Lori... please calm down. We're not just going to let this go, but if you run off attacking them now they're going to be expecting it! You'll wind up just like Onizuka, or worse.

... do you really want to abandon Haku like that?

From:

We know where they're based, I have the tools. One cannon, and Feedback for when they get close. I can make sure that every one of them suffers, and I SWEAR BY ORMAGODEN HIMSELF-

From:

LORI!

From:

... I can't just let them be. I can't let them be placed before 'Justice'. Creatures like that are a taint on this world, no better than the Coil!

WHY THE HELL DID WE LET THAT CLAN EXIST THIS LONG?!

From:

This isn't a fucking matter of justice or letting them exist! Shut up, stop and THINK for a goddamn minute!

They went after Onizuka specifically, and there is absolutely no chance in hell that they didn't know before hand just how much connection he has in this world, and they still did it

Scourge is Demon Sealed. Duo saw it himself. They are organized, they are loyal, and they will know some one is coming for retribution! They will be anticipating every move we all make from here on out, and they will cut you down the second you step in their territory and laugh as you bleed to death at their feet!

Do I make myself clear, Lori?

From:

... You imply I'd be stupid enough to step in their territory. Haven't you heard of the word "Bomb"? Haven't you heard of bring destruction on them such that their pathetic idea of 'territory' is gone, and they never even get to see who did it?!

The fact that they've used a Demon Seal only makes it clearer. Scourge and everyone aligned with him will die. One way or another.

From:

[...]

...

Fine. Do what you want.

But when they get the drop on you and you wind up dead, I hope you go knowing you're only breaking her heart more.

[connection terminated]

From:

[ Hi, Lori. Do you feel afraid yet? Well, if you don't, there's a five foot tall alchemist right behind you. ]

Lori Hamilton.

From:

*Lori immediately turns around, glaring directly at Sabine. She's been crying for quite a while, that's clear immediately... But she's also holding her cannon, and has her bass strapped to her back.*

What do you want.

From:

[ Sabine's been crying, too, but to herself. She has to be the strong mother everyone knows her as. Sadness is insignificant. ]

Drop your weapons, first of all.

From:

No.

I will be riding. And they will be paying. Not a lot. Not tonight.

Their suffering will be as long as ours. Slow, horrifying. As vengeful as the Coil itself.

From:

[...]

[ She hates when it comes down to this. But, you've left her no choice, Lori. Her right arm is brought up and she slaps Lori across the cheeks. Her cold automail hand probably feels different when she does this. ]

From:

*Lori takes the hit - amazingly, still standing. Then again, you've seen her kick a ton-plus bike into the air before...*

... So you're going to try and stop me, then? Is that it?

From:

Yes.

[ Sabine stands there with her arms outstretched. ]

And whatever you throw at me won't make me stop.

From:

*Lori stands there, facing Sabine. Her entire body exudes nothing but anger.*

They deserve nothing less, Sabine. You KNOW it! So why the hell are you trying to stop what they deserve?!

From:

Because, you dumbass, if we go out there now, we'll just be joining Onizuka and Duo in the hospital! The Bloodclan fucking knows we want to get revenge -- they're not stupid, but now is not the time! Now is the time we band together and actually, oh I know, support Haku as her fiancee is laying in a hospital bed for I-don't-know-how-long!

Besides, would you really want to give her more heartache than necessary when one of her friends, much less a family member, gets hurt because of this nonsensical shit?!

From:

Giving them time is just as bad if not worse, Sabine!

Letting them continue their rampage as if we're not going to react... We're not that weak, WHY THE HELL SHOULD WE LOOK LIKE IT?!

From:

Because we need a plan, maggot! We don't plan, guess what -- more causalities! And, with what's happening at Tetha as well as every little thing that's going on, do you really want to add on to the body count?!

From:

Plans? Eddie Riggs' entire life, the entire saving of the humans of my world, was half seat-of-his-pants reactions. Planning would only have given the Coil time to fortify - hell, he probably would never have faced even General Lionwhyte!

I have to be as strong as he was. I have to stop those who would bring us harm, damn it!

From:

[ Eyup-- ]

From:

Do you think I am that stupid, Sabine?!

I don't fight melee. I shoot things and they suffer. I deny them the mercy of even knowing who blasted them!

From:

--you know what? If you want to go after them like a stupid idiot, then fine. Go for it.

Me yelling, screaming, and hitting you won't work, so then, what will work? You getting irreversibly harmed to the point of no repair?

From:

... Why have I even wasted time speaking.

I should have just finished my god damn oath and not let that man interrupt me.

My heart must be as the strings of my bass. I shouldn't be letting things in the way of what they deserve.

I... I can't hesitate. I have the power, I have the means to face them... So why the hell am I not doing so already?!

I'm...

*Lori stops. After a few seconds, she starts towards her bike.*

From:

[ Sabine's about to give up. Really, she is, but something tells her not to do it. She then takes out a pin she has and pops not one of Lori's tires, but both of them. ]
