So yeah...
Lissan: Really? Sounds interesting...
*At this point, the light seems to change, leaving Lissan in shadow and Clara in the light.*
Firefly: I know you can hear this frequency ultron so listen up. Leave these people alone. Or by my creator I'll end both of us right here right now. I'm not going to sit by while you try to murder everyone in sight. You want to dance let's see how you dance with someone who can take what you can give and give it right back.
He pauses for a moment shutting down some of his preventive systems to let him reach full power.
Firefly: Jacob I'm sorry
He opens a conduit sending Jacob back to the milky way as he prepares for what he knows will be the fight of his life as it could shape what happens in the galaxy on his outcome. The areas of his face that normally glow white ( eyes and mouth) now are black as he makes his way towards ultron.
*Firefly finds himself surrounded by P-Sec and Bliss security units, all with their lights glowing red as Ultron's voice sounds through them.*
Ultron *Over Comm*: Your attempts are futile. I already control all electronics on this planet. I have an army at my command.
Clara: 'Interesting'? In English, we call it 'hellish'.
Go ahead...
*Lissan stands up, leaning against the tree, with her head tilted down so that Clara can't see her expression.*
Lissan: Mine's been pretty hellish as well...
*She crosses her arms.*
Lissan: First, I finally finish training for this wonderful job that I've been working towards for a very long time. And the first thinking they do is send me to this colony. I have no idea why, at first. Something about 'interference with a prospering business'. When they finally clear it up for me, I have to wait nearly a week for the opportunity to fix it to show up.
*She places her hands on her hips.*
Lissan: And when she does get here, she helps me build my f*cking house.
*She turns to Clara then, a phaser in her hand.*
Lissan: Fights me in her own home, and I teach her calisthenics in the morning. And then she has the nerve to call my boss a creep!
*She points the phaser at Clara.*
Lissan: And I'm ready to finally end this sh*t and get to the real reason why I joined the Hand...

*Clara slowly stands up, being cautious, in shock.*
Clara *shock*: Lissan, what the hell are you doing?
*She tries very hard to focus, hoping she can make her thoughts loud enough that Tara A will hear her.*
Lissan: Damn thing! I set you to the highest setting and you didn't vaporize her?
*She throws it to the ground in disgust, the takes out a dagger and moves over the Clara caustiously, checking to see if she was dead.*
*Suddenly, the dagger falls to the ground as Lissan feels a blinding pain in her arm, while Clara rolls her onto her back, trapping her arm in a brutal armbar, growling in anger.*

Clara *angry*: I trusted you!
*She starts trying to snap the arm in two.*
*The other arm comes up into Clara's face, hit her with such force that she's thrown to the ground. Lissan rolls ontop of her, her hand reaching toward Clara's neck.*

*Clara bends her knees up, kicking Lissan off of her before using the momentum to roll backwards onto her feet. She then gets into a fighting stance, panting slightly as she gives Lissan a death glare.*
Clara *angry*: I thought you were my friend, targ!
*She throws a right hook, cutting Lissan's cheek open before slamming her with a left hook, grabbing her collar and pulling her right fist back, roaring out as she gets ready to break Lissan's nose.*

*She scoops up the knife and gets in a stance.*
*Clara is bleeding severely from that blow to the head, trying to pick herself up, groaning and breathing heavily as she collapses back down.
Suddenly, Lissan feels the knife get pulled from her hand telekinetically before a fist slams into her cheek, followed by a vicious roundhouse kick as Tara A forces herself between them. She then shoves Lissan back with her TK and gets into a fighting stance.*
Tara A *defensive*: Pick on someone your own weight class, witch...

*Lissan turns toward Clara, ready to kill her.*
*Tara A struggles to get free, before her whole body starts getting surrounded by white and yellow swirls, her twilight enhancing her new-type abilities as she stops Lissan in her tracks.*
Tara A: Clara... can't... hold her... for long...
*Clara slowly picks herself up, getting into a fighting stance as Tara uses a short burst of her 'unity' event to disintegrate the knife into dust, before her powers shut off.
Clara very quickly slams her fist into Lissan's nose, followed by a headbutt, both of which cause Lissan to start bleeding, before tackling Lissan down and pinning her.*
Clara *angry*: Give up, Liss!
*Tara A slams her head back into her attacker, rolling away and getting into a very sloppy Cor'i stance (showing how little of the style she actually knows).*

*She grips Clara's arms and flips them around, and starts trying to beat Clara to a pulp.*
Lissan: B*TCH!
*Meanwhile, Tara A encounters a tall, powerfully built man in a black coat and sunglasses.*
Man: Operator, this pair is too powerful for you. In fact, most likely for me as well. Flee, while I distract this one.
Lissan: I will not! I will finish the missi-
Man: Surya says that the Hand has given permission to retreat.
Lissan: Fine! Take care of them Chaya!
*She quickly extracts herself from Clara, and runs off in a direction. Chaya, the man in the coat, looks at Tara A.*
Chaya: Hello, Progenitor.

Chaya: Progenitor. You are the person who my basic genetic code is based on.

Chaya: The Immortal Hand will remember this, Progenitor. There are many more of me and Mira than you may think...
*He coughs blood and finally dies. Meanwhile, Lissan leaves on a shuttle.*
Tara A: Mira...? Who the hell is Mira...?
*She looks up as the shuttle flies overhead. She tries to use her TK to bring it down, but her powers are still regenerating from the outburst earlier.
She carries Clara back to her house, laying Clara down on the sofa as she goes to get a medkit.

Lissan: Sir, I failed.
Voice: It is alright, Operator. It seems we have underestimated the target. As well as her ally. The Progenitor's twin is a powerful foe.
Lissan: I did find the location of the male.
Voice: indeed? Well?
Lissan: One of the five planets around the Archipelago Station.
Voice: Where the Joker has surfaced... hmm... what an interesting coincidence. We shall investigate. Meanwhile, you return to HQ. You need more training to face this one...

OOC: Not a twin. Half-sister is as close as you can get.
*A few hours later, while Ebren is in the other room, Tara A sits next to Clara, who is mostly healed but still looks sullen.*
Clara: I trusted her...
Tara A: I know...
*Clara looks at her.*
You left your brain all over the place trying to call for help.
*Tara A puts a hand on her shoulder.*
Clara: I thought I'd found a new friend in her...
Oh God...
Tara A: What is it?
Clara: I told her where Jean was...
Tara A: Don't panic, okay? She was after you, not him. Did she give you any reason to think she'd go after him?
Comments
Clara: Attacked by a bunch of thugs who were after a friend of mine from the Enterprise, followed by getting kidnapped by a bunch of loansharks after my boyfriend, followed by a brawl with one of said loansharks before some creep shorted her brain out with some kind of implant...
