Cursed

[Machaeus]

"Like I said, they're too strong to get to us," Machaeus says. "So unless you're stupid or unlucky enough to enter a portal to the Abyss, and go to the layer of one of the demon princes, you're pretty safe. See, the layers don't restrict them in the usual sense - they basically rule over these layers, and leaving them is pretty dangerous. They could lose the 'kingdoms' they fought so hard for." Noting that Ash isn't really paying attention, he asks, "What're you looking for?"

[Ash]

"I need some tools.Have to get rid of the EDF emblem on the armor.And while I'm at it,I could modify the communication device in the helmet.Don't want them to track my signal when I'm going to use it.",he replied,as he found some small tools.
He picked up the helmet and sat down again.After he removed the cover from the helmet,he used a wire-cutter to remove several small cables.

[Machaeus]

Hiiruf floats over. "Anything I can do to help? I may not look it, but I know a thing or two about mechanics. And I have a built-in soldering tool, though it's mainly used for combat."

[Ash]

"Yeah.I theres something built in the helmet that automatically transmits my current location to the EDF,if I use the communication-device.",he replied.
"Can you fix that?",he said,handing the helmet over to Hiiruf.

"Ummm...what about my helmet?",Amy asked.

"I don't think THAT helmet will ever work properly again.",Ash said grinning,pointing at the helmet in Amy's hands.

[Machaeus]

Hiiruf releases a beam of searing light, melting the surroundings of a small square of the metal away. "A little telekinesis..." he mutters, and the plate and communication device float out. "Okay, this is just first glance, but I think the tracking device and the communicator are in the same unit. This may be a while."
"Just make sure it's not a hack job like last time," Machaeus says.
"ONE TIME I solder the gas and water lines together - which were BOTH COPPER, by the way; any amatuer could've made that mistake - and you just CAN'T let it go, can you?! Besides, you KNOW I've been reading and studying for the past 12 years!" Hiiruf grunts, then "shrugs" (bobbing up and down once) and flies under the helmet, carrying it to the workshop that way. The metal square and communicator float behind it. "Follow me. My smithy is this way."

[Ash]

"So...you soldered the gas and water lines together?"
Ash followed Hiiruf quickly,a queasy feeling in his stomach.
"You know...I can try to fix it myself,if you want...",he said quietly.

Ruri:I could have helped! I'm a freakin' genius, literally. I mean, I got a 1601 on the SAT!

[Machaeus]

"Don't worry, I told you I've been studying and practicing. That was a fluke." A few minutes later Hiiruf has finished. "Phew. The helmet's a little worse for the wear, and I couldn't remove the tracking device, but I'd consider this operation a success." The only sign the helmet was tampered with is the obvious soldering of the metal square back into place. "If you're wondering, I found the frequency for the old radio and plugged that into the new one, which was smaller and lighter anyways. Test it out."
The new radio turns out working as well as the old one. "Not bad, Hiiruf," Machaeus notes.

[Ash]

"A genius?",Ash asked.
He thought about it and came to a decision.
"Well.If youre really a genius,you may be able to fix Amy´s armor.
Even though its pretty heavy damaged."

He put the helmet on and activated the communication-device.
After a few seconds he heard a voice.The same voice he heard before.It was the person who called him a traitor.
"....If you encouter them,shoot without hestiation!Theyre no longer on our side!...."

After he heard that,he deactivated the device and took the helmet off again.
"Great.Now we really have the whole EDF against us.",Ash mumbled.

[arbiterchamp]

*Ruri goes to work on Amy's armor and is done pretty quickly.*
Ruri:See, what did i tell you?

[Machaeus]

Hiiruf suddenly squalls. You turn to see him inside a bottle, being held by a grinning Urufu. "Okay, look, werewolf, I don't care HOW much I look like the stupid Zelda fairies, this stupid joke has just gone TOO FAR."
"Urufu, let go of my familiar," Machaeus groans. "How would you like it if I grabbed your tail and didn't let go?"
Urufu's face stares at them, surprised. "Werewolf? Familiar? TAIL?! What are you - "
A pipe swings down over Urufu's head, revealing...Urufu? "B@stard managed to shoot me with a net," he growls. The Urufu on the floor transforms into another person wearing a suit of armor, similar to Ash's and Amy's. "You heard of a chameleon-esque armor, Ash?" he asks.
"Uh, LET ME OUT, please!" Hiiruf shouts. Urufu picks up the bottle and opens it for him.

[Ash]

"Hm...no.I´ve never seen such an armor.By the time I came here,
the EDF had three armors.The one I´m wearing,Amy´s and a prototype.And that is not the prototype."
He turned over to Amy,looking at her curiously.

Amy shrugged.
"Sorry.Never seen something like this.Maybe theres an EDF logo on the armor?"

"Maybe.And while we check,we schould tie him up.Or her.Whatever.Hard to tell under that armor.",Ash said,walking over to the knocked out person.

[Machaeus]

There is indeed a logo on the armor, and the person in question is male. "You want I should rough him up a bit, Boss?" Urufu asks Ash in a very "Godfather"-esque voice.
"If I had hands, I'd smack you SO good for that," Hiiruf grumbles.
"You enjoyed that movie, didn't you?" Machaeus asks Hiiruf.

[Ash]

"Nah.We should try to interrogate him the nice,friendly way first.
If he wont cooperate,we can still try the "other" methods."

Ash took a closer look at the armor.He has never seen or heard of that armor.

"I wonder how he found us.Hm...Doesnt look like one of the docs armors...",he mumbled.

[Machaeus]

The man wakes up to a snarling werewolf face. He screams, the force of his shout making Urufu stumble back. "Totally worth the ear damage," he smirks.
"Now, we have a werewolf, an angel, and a part-demon warlock in this room," Machaeus says, glaring at the man. "Answer all of our questions, and no smart-@$$ stuff. If Urufu here smells lies on you, we turn you to mush."
