Jasmine: Pico are you alright? you seem nervous.
Mia: oh by the way we ran into that mysteous person. we would have asked something, however she went in right away. did you have any run-ins with her?

pico:uh yeah sort of shes the chick with the strong aura shes so cool!…er that is not cooler then you 2*sweatdrops*

Mia:pico its alright.
Jasmine: its alright to have a friend who just so happened to be a girl.
Mia:as for my day, I worked.
Jasmine: and for mine I almost accidently turned you both into children without knowing. Thank goodness I went to see Doc at the time otherwise who know's what could of happened.

pico:..wait what?

Jasmine: well you see yesterday Doc supercharged me and while the charge felt amazing I had to get rid of some energy and passed it on to you 2. by doing so it overloaded the machines in your body thinking they need to heal you. *one recap later* and it turns out all I had to do is reboot the system and reprogram them to undo the damage.
Mia: So is that what the wierd look was for eariler today?
Jasmine: I just wanted to make sure you were still ok.

pico:*smiles* jasmine your awsome*puts arms over jasmines and mias shoulder* you both are

*they both kiss pico*
Mia:well thank you pico.
Jasmine: we think your pretty awesome too.
Mia: now come on we've had a long day. let's go get some shut eye.
*the 3then head to pico's room and rest up*
*in doc's room*
Doc: so did you have fun today?
Ann: yep I played with pico and learned so much about him.I even made him my friend.
Doc: and?
Ann:I think I have a shot of beating him.
Doc:*chuckles* alright well rest easy. I'll see you in the morning.
Ann: alright night Doc.

pico:*smirks*(look out ann cause i wont hold back)

Snow: Well, if you must know, I'm thinking we're all just wasting time. If you would be so kind, shadowblade, and establish a portal to our quarters? You can all stay here, I'll be back in an instant.

pico:*is at the obstacle course kicking and punching air*(the tournament is almost here i cant have any distractions)

Snow: *after he's returned with a pile of newspapers under his arm, he puts them on a frozen desk* Watch and enjoy. I've collected some recent newspapers.
SB: - He takes the Daily Telegraph, dated four weeks ago. - Secret Research Facility Tries Taking over the World
- The Times of about the same date… - Hell Unleashed by Self Appointed Life Savers. Hmph, adorable.
- Frankfurter Rundschau, three weeks ago… - Unbekan- … Is that German? I'm sorry, could someone translate that for me?
Val: … Umm, it says… Unknown Mage Slaughtered for Trying to Save Our World.
SB: - New Zealand Herald, two weeks ago… - Worldwide Appeals to Take Down Zot For Trying to Play God … What a shame our work isn't honored the deserved amount.
Snow: Just wait for the comments on the live stream of the battle.
SB: We were filmed?! But that's perfect! That will show everyone who the bad guys really were!
Snow: Really? I've seen the live stream, and I'm not so sure myself. After digging around in Torvek's plans, I realized… well…
Val: … that Torvek was about to do the world a favor? *she slightly shakes her head* Is that what you think?
Snow: Basically, yes.
SB: How can you say that?!
DN: Is that why you don't want to participate in the tournament? Some kind of protest?
Snow: Actually, that's mostly for another reason, but that's not of importance right now. I said it because it's true. Torvek was the only one on this planet who saw the toll of the methods he would have to use in order to better it, and he willingly accepted it. Want to know what he said to me when delivering his ultimatum? They will defame whoever does this to them, so why should I pretend to be anything other than a villain? The worst is… *he points at all the newspapers* … before all this, we actually had the influence and the chance to improve the world without using force. *he digs in the pile until he finds the Post from today he bought before returning to Dimension S, and puts it in front of shadowblade* Clearly, that's not the case anymore. Until today, I would accept the fact we're throwing away our potential, begrudgingly, yes, but I would have accepted it. However, you see, *he points at the headline* we now have no other option left than to make a move.
SB: Zot Spotted *the caption reads as follows* Re-United Nations Holding Counsel About Military Intervention
Snow: I wouldn't recommend us to take Torvek's place because we need to prevent the people from lynching us; it's absolutely necessary for the survival of Zot itself and our duty as a facility that claims to help people.
SB: *leans back in his chair* So what you're saying is basically that you want this tower to give the world an actual reason to defame us.
Snow: But don't you see? They already did so. It doesn't make the difference if this war was our fault or not, we're being blamed for it. And with the circumstances given, blame is by far more important than fault. If we move in quick and pretend that the sides in this war were the exact opposite, we wouldn't only shift the blame back to where it rightfully belongs, to Torvek, we would gain our reputation back, too, and be able to change the world without meaningless bloodshed. Plus, we could circumvent the outbreak of another war. Face the fact: Zot's cared only about Zot for too long. We need to widen our horizon and become worldwide active. Build more towers throughout the world and employ more people if necessary. Several hundred at the tower are neat. A million or two throughout the world are dandy. But there are billions out there who don't benefit from our work at all. Billions on the edge of death. Those should be our goal.

mia:PICO! did you read the newspapers?!! pico:*grabs 1 and reads*…ZOT DAMNIT!!! THOSE IDIOTS!

SB:ok first off I planed on building more towers soon.I just haven't confirmed locations Second We have been saving lives from day one! we've been providing support and jobs to those who needed it keeping them off the streets not to mention our cures have been implemented into. and lastly How do these headlines even exist!my deals with the heavens should have reseted eveyone's mind minus Zot members wiping out the Torvek incident weeks before it happened.*sighs ands sits*(Someone up there is getting an ass wuppin')

Snow: Face it, you can't make everything undone. There is nothing like a giant neuralizer hidden inside Lady Liberty's torch! The events may have been reverted, but not so the memory of the people, or the footage of that war. Just think about it: We can't remember things that never happened. No one can. The events have just been reverted, and are still very well memorable by anyone. And like I said before: The people don't care what good we did. They need someone to blame, and by the footage, it looks like we're the bad guys. This whole thing was not our fault, which doesn't make any bit of difference.

pico:*rips up newspaper* this is why i hate the media! mia:pico please..pico:sigh im calm now if you excuse me i got a few robots to destroy

SB:Perhaps your right Snow. perhaps its time we make ourselves known to those who don't truly know us show that we've been aiding them since day one. There shoudn't be too much backlash. I mean more than 3/4th of the world are members of Zot. and I'm sure that I can open so many more doors with this. Who knows if everything goes as planed you'll get to govern your own sector.

pico:*charges buster* PICO BUSTER!*a blast of blue energy turns the robot into ashes* Ann:well someone looks angry..wanna talk about it? pico:..theirs nothing to talk about Ann:right…*sits down*

Ann: this about that whole UN attacking Zot thing?

Snow: Don't get me wrong, but I would NEVER take the lead of another Zot. Anyway, on another note… *raises an eyebrow* … Three quarters of the world? *he turns to Val* And you thought I'm high? *back to SB* Sorry, but that's logically not possible. Three quarters of the world are more than all adult people, and I'm counting pensioners in here. That would make Zot a kid employer, therefore a facility of major felony. Mind rethinking your statement before we expose ourselves as professional criminals to the world?

pico:its rediculous! ever since i came here ive seen zot help people 1 way or another! hell i even had to kill people who would have destroyed earth!…so yeah you could say im pretty pissed off!

SB:look we have 1 kid employee, technically 2 if you count Doc and his childish behavior, but she volunteered and we've kept her aboard since. as for others all Zot employees are 18 and up. The numbers I spoke were mearly but figures for the future of Zot say in a few decades. As of now its close to half the world.
*elsewhere*
Ann:they're just being dumb. they can't understand that they were hit with 2 sides of the fantasy spectrum and want to blame what they don't understand. they think we might be a bunch of bullies ready to come and take something from them.

pico:that still dosnt make them right!*gathers energy in his hand and destroys a target*

Snow: … Might I inquire how that should work? Half the world is still an utopian number. And honestly, other world currency doesn't really do the trick for me. The tower's sales aren't even enough to fund maintenance, employee and all other costs of the tower itself, how should there be money left for billions of other people? I always thought Zot isn't that old yet and was also understaffed earlier. And please don't give me that For what we do, money isn't needed crap.

DN: I've wondered about zot's finances as well, I know I've help supply zot with materials, but that can only account for so much, frankly I'm surprised you haven't opened specific areas like the mall and the amusement park to the general public outside of zot. and now that I think about it, that might be a good way to help zot in the PR area,if people see a mall and amusement park, they may not see us quite as dangerous, I mean, roller coasters don't really scream “terrorist”, now do they?

ann:*looks concearned* (he seems really upset about this maybe i should cheer him up)

SB: well let's see here… where do I all get my money from in this world…well, most it come from the medicine and prostetics we sell to others. As for the rest… We get a good deal of money from Zack's old man, 40% of what Golbez finds off of a random encounters on the moon is wired to our funding, a good chunk of money comes from my Design company on the 13th floor,The Red Dragoon, we do commericals, shoot events, concerts, design logos, photoshoots, and more… Gaming events we hold get a few thousand bucks, we get a good million a year, from renting doc out for experimentation, not to mention our quarterly Donation, from the Wizards guild for teaching magic. and yes we do have a certificate of appoval. I renewed it after talking to one of our sponcers. We are number 1 in the adamantite industury, I have shops for blacksmithing, and tailoring, and make 15% percent off of, I do have Islands that to grow food and sell the extra to markets for reasonable pricing. my matience crew I rent out does home repairs and ad-ons and the rest we get from the random encounters in the basement in the lair of the 4 Fiends. And that's all for this world. The rest comes from my pocket. As zot being around its been around for a good while. However this its first time being resurected under a new face with a new goal. for being understaffed I called in a few favors and as of 2014will have some new members along with anyone who will wish to join us once we go public.
*elsewhere*
Ann: …you know what I do when I'm angry?*hugs him* I go to the spa.

*pico didnt seem to mind the hug this time. he didnt even blush* pico:sigh i guess your right ineed to cool off..or should i say steam up?

Ann: *smiles* that's more like it. come on, let's go!
*later* well here we are. I reccomend the hot stone treatment, followed by the jacuzzi.

pico:sure why not?

Ann: alright…umm
Pico: something wrong?
Ann: I just remembered I'm going to need to remove my trenchcoat and change for some of this.*sweatdrop* promise to keep what I look like a secret?
