| ((large post inbound!)) GDN entered the launch bay and ran into a small spaceship. Trooper: There he is!!! Shoot him! GDN hopped into the spaceship and took off. Trooper: Damm! He escaped! Anyone know what his objective was? Worker: Sir, sir, he initiated the deactivation protocol! Trooper: WHAT??? That's impossible... Can't you abort it? Worker: I tried, but the intruder bugged all the terminals... Trooper: So... Hold on, I'm getting a transmission from Jack... Jack: I have news, soldier! The YLOD infection has just begun! We will crush these idiots! Trooper: Uhh, sir, I'm afraid that it won't be that easy... Jack: What? Trooper: Someone enabled the deactivation protocol, and we can't abort it. All systems will go offline in less than 5 hours! Jack: WHAT??? ------------------------- GDN was listening to the Microsoft communication channel in the ship. GDN: YLOD? OH MY GOD, ZIM!!! He went back to the Earth, and as he crossed the city of Old Natal, he could see all his men getting humiliated by the MS troops. GDN: No, no, they'll pay for that! ------------------------- Meanwhile, Zim and Ragnarok were still on the base. They were running around the labs, Zim was desperate searching for a cure for the YLOD. Ragnarok was holding the enemies back. Ragnarok: They are too much!!! I can't hold them back! Zim: Just a bit more... Aaargh! Zim collapsed to the ground. Ragnarok: Zim! Zim: The virus is beggining to take effect... Ragnarok, help me! Ragnarok: I can't! There are too much enemies! Suddenly, all the enemies' guns stopped working. The got desperate, and charged into Ragnarok, but his modified body made short work of them. Ragnarok: Zim, what's happening??? Why are their weapons not working? Zim: GDN's bug... Is taking effect... ------------------------- GDN was approaching the base the moment that the deactivation started. His ship belonged to Microsoft, so it began to fall that moment. GDN: NO NO NO NO!!! GDN crashed into the lab. His ship slided on the ground over many enemy soldiers. One of them survived and pointed his gun at him. Soldier: Stop right there!!! GDN: Oww... Hey, man, you sure your gun is still working? He pulled the trigger, and no shot was fired. He looked at his gun, confused, then raised the head and got punched by GDN. ------------------------- Zim and Ragnarok heard a loud noise. Zim: What was that??? Ragnarok: It looks like someone crashed into the building! GDN appeared running from a corridor. GDN: Zim! Are you infected??? Zim: I think that I am... *cough* GDN: Don't worry, we'll find a cure! GDN carried Zim in his shoulder and they began to head outside the building. As GDN was carrying Zim, Ragnarok noticed how GDN's hands were glowing yellow while he was touching Zim directly, but he didn't look like he was infected. It was like he was somehow immune to it. But how could a Sonyist be immune to the lethal YLOD virus? GDN: I know someone who managed to develop a vaccine to this virus. Too bad the guy is a freak. He locked himself in the old underwater city of Rapture (http://www.biggerboat.net/wp-content/uploads/bioshock-rapture-image-bioshock-523402-1024-551.jpeg). Ragnarok: Rapture? I thought that it was a spookstory... GDN: No, it really exists... But it is a dangerous place, and we are unnarmed now, and there's no way that we can get there without a working submarine from Sony or Microsoft. Unless... Ragnarok: Unless... GDN: Nintendo still has working eletronics! We need to steal a submarine and some weapons from them! Ragnarok: But, how are we going to cross the ocean and get to them??? GDN: I have an idea... ------------------------- They headed to the docks. There was a really old boat there being used as a cassino. GDN put some coal in the engine, then started the boat and it began to move. Zim: Are you sure that this is going to take us to them? GDN: Well, before the 1800s, everyone used this kind of boat without problems. Now, go rest, we are still a long way from finding the cure... Then they began the long travel towards Nintendo's territory. ((tl,dr: - GDN escapes the SS and gets informed about the YLOD virus; - Zim gets infected; - The deactivation protocol starts, leaving both Sony and Microsoft without weapons; - GDN, Ragnarok and Zim escape the base and use an old steam boat to head towards Nintendo's territory; - They must steal a submarine from Nintendo (Sony's and Microsoft's vehicles are not working), to get to the abandoned city of Rapture and find someone that has the cure for the YLOD virus)) | 2010-11-29 15:28:00 Author: gdn001  Posts: 5891 |
| ((My turn!)) H-03 Commander was desperate, all the electronic devices were failing due to the PS3 system being infected by the YLOD... H-03 Commander: Whats the status? Helgan R-Team: All systems are yellow, all vehicles stopped to work we cant do anything. . . . wait, I think we have an alternate solution, we can roll back to PS2 system H-03 Commander: It's been quite some time since we used it but is still an option, alright then, lets roll back to PS2 system data The PS army temporarily worked on restoring back their systems into the older generation as this one was immune to the YLOD, their weapons and vehicles got a downgrade but at least they were still able to defend themselves, the commander ordered a reunion of all troops near the their temporary base on the center of Old Natal where an army of MS Zombies was approaching.... Meanwhile on the boat, GDN, Zim and Ragnarok were on their way to look for a Nintendo submarine, they arrive near an island that was under Nintendo control GDN: Lets look here, there might be a submarine near here Ragnarok: I don't like the look of this island, and this time I really mean it GDN: C'mon, its deserted what can go wrong? Ragnarok: There might be a good reason for it to be deserted, like the MS base full of crazy robots? GDN: Ok then, you go first Sherlock Ragnarok: What!? No I didn- GDN: I am the commander and order you to go first, problem? Ragnarok: Fine, I'll move on Ragnarok gets off the boat and walks into the beach of the island, the place is full of fog and the plants were like nothing he has seen before, he got inside and found an abandoned installation Ragnarok: GDN, get over here! I found something! GDN: Alright, I'm going to check!, [Now talking to Zim] hey Zim, stay here ok? Zim: As if I could go anywhere with this stupid sickness.... GDN gets off the boat and catches up Ragnarok as both enter the abandoned installation Ragnarok: It's an underground facility, lets check the lower floors GDN and Ragnarok walk downstairs using a lamplight, the place is in darkness GDN: Hey check this, there is a submarine on the other side of the island, even better, here are the keys! A very strange cry is heard on the lower levels, Ragnarok checks the stairs to the lower levels GDN: Hey Ragnarok, lets go, we got the keys.. Ragnarok: What the hell is this! holy **** RUN!!! Ragnarok ran upstairs and went for the stairs out of the base, GDN looked back to the stairs that led to the lower levels, floating monsters with claws were getting up to the upper levels... GDN: Is this what scares you so much Ragnarok? (He took hes machine gun out and shoot the aliens with no avail) Ragnarok: METROIDS!!, they are immune to bullets, just run! GDN and Ragnarok headed to the exit but the door shut getting them trapped GDN: Any ideas? Ragnarok: We need a freezing beam and a super missile now! GDN: And what if we don't have any? Ragnarok: We are dead ((GDN's turn I guess)) | 2010-11-29 16:11:00 Author: Ragnarok  Posts: 898 |
| Zelda was waken by a small hollow beeping emitting from the cabin, She shook Matthews awake. With that unnatural agility you get in an emergency he swung up into the cabin and examined the readout* "No!" Matthews exclaimed "Someones activated the deactivation protocol, and it's locked down so I can't fix it from here, I have to get in touch with them" Matthews pulled a dirty communicator from it's slot, and quickly called the Space Station, "This is Commander 2AG39I I'm calling to you from 163 miles Northeast of Old Natal and I'm taking control of this Station"* "Impossible, Colonel Matthews died almost 7 years ago," the obnoxious phone answerer replied "Oh really? Then how do I know you are on the Microsoft Space Station when that information is highly classified? Now do you want my help or not?"* "I...err..." the man stuttered "what do you need me to do?" "I know the system is locked down so I need you to crash the system, Open every file and every game when I say... NOW!" Matthews saw the CPU rocket until it froze and then crashed "Now reboot and activate it in Safety Mode" Matthews added, there was a pause as the mainframe whirred quietly as it was switched off then back on again. "It worked..." the Man replied, astonished "But how?"* "I designed the Dam* thing!" Matthews hissed and shut his comm channel. He activated the robots ramp and Zelda quickly clambered in, the robot set off at a sprint towards New Natal. ((My robot was offline when the shut down happened..)) | 2010-11-29 16:19:00 Author: Kern  Posts: 5078 |
| GDN: Great! Couldn't our life be any harder? GDN quickly looked around. There was a flamethrower without ammo laying on a table. He ran to it and grabbed it. Ragnarok: Great, GDN, a flamethrower without flames! GDN: Shut up and distract them! While Ragnarok kept running around the room to distract the Metroits, GDN put some liquid nitrogen he found in the room. GDN: This will do as a freezing beam! Ragnarok: Great, now we need a powerfull missile! GDN found an empty missile case. He put all his four frag grenades in it. GDN: Ragnarok, use the flamethrower to freeze them!! Ragnarok: That doesn't sound like a good idea, but ok! He picked up the flamethrower and fired at them. They froze with the liquid nitrogen. Ragnarok: FIRE THE MISSILE NOW!!! GDN used a matchstick to light the rocket, then he held it and pulled the pin of all the grenades at once, and released it pointed towards the frozen Metroits. Ragnarok jumped to the side, and the missile exploded sending them into a thousand pieces. GDN: Hooray for home-made weapons! Ragnarok: Let's get Zim and get to the sub! They got back to the boat, got Zim and went to the other side of the island using an abandoned jeep. The sub was there, and it was still usable. Zim: We'll go underwater? Aw, c'mon! GDN: It's a sub, Zim, no worries! Zim: Yeah? And what happens if you dig a hole in a sub? GDN: You're just too paranoid. Listen, now all we got to do is get to Rapture. Zim: Yeah... The city in the bottom of the ocean! This is my best day. Ever. They submerged and started to head towards Rapture. ((tl,dr: GDN and Ragnarok destroy the Metroits using home-made weapons, then begin the trip to Rapture)) | 2010-11-29 16:47:00 Author: gdn001 Posts: 5891 |
| suddenly, a giant meteor flew from the sky and hit flamingemu, killing him instantly. Then a giant worm, chewed on flamingemus intestines, a dart from a far away dart match hit flamingemu in the eye, while the fire from the meteor burned him to yoshi toast ((im sick of being ignored, and now i am dead.)) | 2010-11-29 18:51:00 Author: flamingemu  Posts: 1872 |

| ((Well, if you barely contribute with a story at all, then what do you expect? But I'm not part of Nintendo, so don't look at me. Blue did say he was going to meet up with you during their mission, but w/e)) The silhouette of a city appears in the distance, Ragnarok looking on from the front window as GDN pilots the submarine. "Hey look, there it is!" As they get closer to their destination, a large school of fish hurriedly swim past them, away from the city. "I have a bad feeling about this..." "Zim, you're just being paranoid! It'll be fine - The city is abandoned anyway, so the only thing we'll find there is the person we need." GDN continues to steer the sub closer to the city. Zim crosses her arms and glances out the window. For just a second, a murky shadow swims right by the submarine. Zim rubs her eyes, shaking her head, then looks out the window again, but the shadow is gone. "D-did any of y-you see that?!" Ragnarok looks back towards Zim, confused. "What are you talking about? I think you may just be hallucinating..." "Am not! I swear, I just saw a - " The submarine suddenly jolts to the side as if a large object had just rammed into it, sending it's occupants tumbling across the floor. GDN holds onto his seat, gripping the steering mechanism in an attempt to tilt the sub back onto it's bottom. Outside the window is a colossal shadow, heading towards the submarine again. "Now do you trust my judgement?!" Zim gets back onto her feet and shoves GDN out of the driver's seat, taking the wheel and easily evading the sea creature's second attack. Ragnarok pushes himself up, then looks out the window, terrified. "H-how are we gonna get rid of it?!" GDN rummages through the storage compartment, searching for something suitable enough to take down a creature of that size. "I think I've got an idea..." | 2010-11-29 20:48:00 Author: TheZimInvader  Posts: 3149 |
| GDN runs throught the sub, gathering components. Ragnarok: GDN, what the hell are you doing? GDN: Making another weapon, of course! GDN used a harpoon gun, a spare harpoon and some satchel charges. He tapes the charges into the harpoon and gives the detonator to Ragnarok. GDN: I will fire the harpoon into the monster, then you detonate! Ragnarok: But GDN, how are you going to shot him? There aren't any scuba kits in there! GDN: I know! But I gotta do that. Zim! Zim: Yeah? GDN: Prepare the exit pod! I'm going outside for a while! Zim: Are you crazy??? You will drown if you do that! GDN: Don't worry, I'll won't stay there for much time. Get ready to open the pod again when I'm done! Zim: Ok, GDN, just... GDN: What? Zim: Just get back alive... GDN: I will. GDN picked up the harpoon gun with the explosive harpoon in it, then entered the exit pod. Zim activated the exitting mechanism and the pod filled with water. GDN took a deep breath and swam outside. He held onto the sub to keep up. He was about to fire at the monster, but it knocked him away before he could fire. Zim - Ragnarok: GDN!!! GDN picked up his harpoon gun and the monster charged towards him. He fired the harpoon right into the monster's mouth. Ragnarok: He did it! Ragnarok pressed the detonator and the monster exploded into a hundred pieces of meat. GDN appeared from inside the blood cloud, swimming very quickly towards the sub. He reached the entering pod and knocked on it desperately. Ragnarok: Zim, open the pod!!! Zim: Oh god, right... The pod opened and GDN got inside. Then the water was drained and GDN could breath again. He was breathing heavily. Zim: Are you ok? GDN: I think I am... Zim: You are crazy, I keep telling you, first the space mission and now you almost drown yourself in an attempt to save us... GDN: Exactly. I did the mistake of leaving my friends behind once, and I will not repeat it! Zim: But still, you... Ooow! GDN: The virus is spreading throught your body. We better find the doctor soon. Let me drive... GDN parked the sub next to a docking station. They were about to exit it, but GDN told them to stop. Ragnarok: What is it? GDN: Splicers... Zim: What??? Two splicers (http://img524.imageshack.us/img524/6207/splicer3.jpg) approached the sub's window and looked inside. GDN turned off all the lights. Zim(whispering): You didn't tell me about those things! GDN: I guess I didn't... These guys wander around Rapture, searching for ADAM. Did I mention that the doctor is one of them too? Zim: WHAT??? Ohh, this gotta be my worst day ever! I'm in a broken underwater city with sea monsters, freaks and a virus in my body! Splicer: I know that you are there, honey! Ragnarok: Great, he saw us. What now? ((tl,dr: GDN almost drowns himself in order to kill the sea monster; they arrive to Rapture, but two splicers saw them before they could get out of the sub)) | 2010-11-29 21:21:00 Author: gdn001 Posts: 5891 |
| The Toads would forever wonder how a meteor triggered voice activated alarms, talked, and then did promptly nothing. A cleaning crew investigated, but nothing other than that meteor was ever found. All traces of FE were burned by its fire. In the higher-ups, it was decided that FE had left the cause and became a loner. As for Blue, he quickly forgot about FE in the events which happened shortly thereafter... ((No offence, but it's really good that you quit. You were a really bad contributer.)) After several hours of walking through the wastelands, Blue and Zeta had reached the Microsoft airport. When asked about their reason for going, Blue had a lie prepared, as usual. "My girlfriend and I are looking for work. We think Microsoft has the best chances of steady work, after all, you guys are the best." His story later earned one of Zeta's trademark punches. When it came time for searches, the power in the area innocently went out, and the two hurried into their plane. "You. Are. Crazy.", Zeta said, punctuating her comment with hits. Blue was about to respond with a snarky comment, when he noticed Zeta's unsettled expression. "She's really worried about this one," Blue thought. "It'll be okay. I promise. Besides," Blue grinned, "when have I been one to cause trouble?" Zeta laughed. "Mind if I catch another nap? Things have been pretty crazy, and that walk through the desert wasn't exactly leisure." "No problem," Blue said, "In fact, that sounds like a pretty good idea." He put on his headphones and kicked back. Shortly after, both operatives were asleep. The plane headed for New Natal... ((Sorry, I'm just out of time to post. =/ If you want to move on, fine by me. But get us into some drama plz. Too boring.)) | 2010-11-29 21:43:00 Author: Voltergeist  Posts: 1702 |
| ((No offence, but it's really good that you quit. You were a really bad contributer.)) (( I'm going to take some offence at that if thats okay, I'm sorry I wasn't here right from the start, which means that everyone had formed their 'groups' and my desperate clasping of straws at trying to get your help was obviously an excersise in futility)) | 2010-11-29 22:01:00 Author: flamingemu Posts: 1872 |
| Matthews and Zelda had dismounted and were walking hand in hand through New Natal, they were headed to the embassy. When they arrived a bulky guard blocked their path,* "Who ar' yeh" The Guard growled "An' whut d'you want?"* "I'm Tarquin Matthews. Second in command to the xbox empire and this is my plus one" "No... Tha's imposs'bul" the Guard mumbled "Your de'd" "Yes, well there's a story behind that" Tarquin replied "And I urgently need to speak to Jack" Matthews produced a small tattered security card, "Here"* The brute stepped out of the way as Matthews and Zelda stepped through the sliding doors and into the elevator, Matthews picked up a Key card and gave it to Zelda; *"I'm going to be gone for a while so here's my room key, it's on the 14th floor" he placed the key in Zeldas hand and clasped his hands around hers; "We'll need some help with the mainframe if you don't mind" Matthews smiled reassuringly and gently pushed her into the elevator, Tarquin boarded a second elevator and took it to the 18th floor, He entered Jacks Office and pulled up the touch screen he quickly searched the Mainframe quickly downloaded 3 separate pieces of information, He turned around, pulled open one of the drawers and picked up the SMG inside and a bundle of ammo belts, He picked up one of his experimental atomisers and set off; Next stop Rapture. | 2010-11-29 22:05:00 Author: Kern Posts: 5078 |
| The Diving bike whirred as he pulled into the bathysphere dock, He surfaced to see a large suited thing wandering with a small eerie looking girl following him blindly, He clambered out and looked out across the sea floor, he pulled the scuba mask off and entered a room, He saw the same Big Daddy fighting off a group of Splicers, It chased the last of them down a dark corridor leaving the little sister behind. Tarquin grinned an evil grin and silently put his hand over the girls mouth as she harvested the bodies, he pulled her into the shadows and extracted all the ADAM, he clambered up the stairs to a gatherers garden, He kicked the machine and a Large Syringe he grimaced as he plunged the needle into his arm, and felt the electricity coarse through his body as he passed out. | 2010-11-29 22:33:00 Author: Kern Posts: 5078 |
| Suddenly, a bolt of lightning crossed throught the two splicers and a dark figure approached the sub and said: "Something's not right... Well, I better get going!" He went away. The three were relieved and got out of the sub. Zim: So, where do we find this doctor? GDN: He hangs around the medical pavillion. This way! GDN ran followed by Zim and Ragnarok. They went throught a restaurant and into a hall. Ragnarok: Where to now? GDN: There! GDN went throught a door, but it closed before Zim and Ragnarok could cross it. Zim: Damm! GDN: Ok, ok, no worries. You two sit tight, I'm going to find the doc and bring the cure, alright? Ragnarok: Whatever... See ya! GDN went ahead and into the medical pavillion. He found a tommy gun laying on the ground. GDN: Great, it's still working! He was lucky to find it, because right after all the doors closed and he heard splicers coming. GDN: Oh, c'mon, how about a break? ((the three are accidentally saved by Kernel; GDN is separated from the team and is trapped on the entrance to the medical pavillion)) ((stay tuned on this channel tomorrow for the next chapter in this amazing story!)) ((that means that this is my last post for today :kz: )) | 2010-11-29 23:39:00 Author: gdn001 Posts: 5891 |
| The two of them hear commotion from the other side of the door. Zim calls out to GDN. "What's going on?! Are you alright?" GDN calls back as he's fighting off the Splicers, his voice muffled. "Yeah! I'm fine - You two just - hargh - wait there, I'll be *hrngh* back soon...!" Everything falls silent as GDN hurries across the room in the opposite direction. Zim stands with her back against the door. Ragnarok stays alert, keeping a lookout for anything that might come their way as they wait for GDN. "Er...You don't look so good...Are you okay?" "Of course I'm not okay, you idiot! Do you really think - " "Shhh!" Ragnarok hears a rumbling noise, and the floor starts to shake. The sound seems to be coming from around the corner at the end of the hall. It grows louder, and all of a sudden a Big Daddy bursts through the door, charging right towards the two of them. They both jump out of the way as the drill on its right arm pierces the glass wall of the hallway - He rips it out as water quickly begins pouring in. Zim sees a door at the other end of the tunnel - It looks secure enough to keep the water out. She wades through the knee-deep water towards it, but Ragnarok attempts to fight the Big Daddy. "Ragnarok, we don't have time for this! We've got to get to get out of here!" Water continues to fill the hall and it's now waist-deep, but the Big Daddy towers above Ragnarok, unaffected by the height of the water - making it even more difficult to get rid of him. | 2010-11-30 01:42:00 Author: TheZimInvader Posts: 3149 |
| Horatio, still in disguise, casually walked out the front doors of the Sony base, with his guards joining up with him by his sides. An awaiting convoy was parked in front of him and his crew, armed with the weapons necessary in-case an ambush were to suffice. With his mindset on "mission accomplished", Horatio took a seat in the front car, and the convoy was off. They passed by unnoticed and were making their way back to Old Natal. *BEEP!* A message. "Governor Horatio, sir!" a thick Brazilian accent rang out, startling the politician. "Oi, what is it?!" Horatio snarled back, "I'm not exactly in the best mood for more hogwash..." "An old alert was sent through our comms," the private replied, "Coming from... Rapture?" "Rapture?" Horatio queried, "Those mutated freaks betrayed us years ago when they went into talks with Sony. Andrew Ryan and his 'utopia'... let them drown." "But sir," the private stated, "This wasn't any signal... a Sony presence triggered it." Horatio was about to reply, but then dropped his jaw in shock. Surely, those Fanboys couldn't be... "Send me the coordiates to Rapture's surface port," Horatio commanded. The information was immediately transferred to his GPS, revealing a location somewhere in the middle of the North Atlantic. Satisfied, yet disturbed, the politician ended the conversation and ordered his driver to change course. "Get ready boys," Horatio called back, "We're heading back to Rapture..." ---------- Jack is seen sitting pretty at his old desk, looking over the reclaimation of Old Natal through his computor. After an unknown bug that was implanted into the Sony rats, the city swiftly came under Microsoft control once more. But it was only a matter of time until- The lights turn off. The computor shuts down. And in the darkness, only Jack's glpwing eye could be seen. "SIgh", Jack growled, "******* you, Sony." Jack seized hi black Wiimote and turned it on, providing a light for the businessman to see. Casually rising from his desk, Jack slowly made his way towards the door and started to look about, searching for any survivors. "Natalie?" Jack began to call out, "Chief? Marcus? Where are you..." | 2010-11-30 02:01:00 Author: Outlaw-Jack  Posts: 5757 |

| As soon as Mercuy had turned around to head back, Ched had already sprinted towards him in a matter of seconds. Mercuy, already in shock about his previous encounter, grabbed his pistol and began shooting wildy towards Ched's direction. Time seemed to have slowed down by a few seconds as the bullets came flying towards him, making them easily predictable and to dodge. And with Mercuy's last round of ammunition gone, Ched tackled him down to the floor, his knife in one hand just inches away from piercing through Mercury's face. ((Been busy lately, sorry Mercuy.)) | 2010-11-30 05:11:00 Author: Cheddars  Posts: 447 |

| Tarquin Matthews quickly ran through the corridors, he quickly clambered up some coral that had began growing through a small crack and landed on the roof of the Train Station. He crouched and entered the vent. | 2010-11-30 07:49:00 Author: Kern Posts: 5078 |
| ((Wait, train station? There's a train station in Rapture? I haven't played the game, so I dunno...)) Zim is struggling to hold the door for Ragnarok, the water pushing against it and making it difficult to keep open. The room is filling with water and, although shallow, it only makes it harder to keep her feet on the ground. And added to all of it, the YLOD's intensity continues to rise. Ragnarok is still trying to evade the Big Daddy, but its attacks are relentless and the only thing he can do is dodge them underwater, making him unable to head towards the other end of the hall. He calls out to Zim as he surfaces, then dodges another attack. "Can't you - hrnk! - just call that...clone of yours for help?!" Zim continues to push against the door with all of her weight as she grudgingly replies to Ragnarok. "I can't...She's...gone...!" "What?! What do you mean gone?!" "Ragnarok, we don't have time for this! Just...Get...over here!" Ragnarok stuns Big Daddy for just a moment, buying him enough time to start swimming towards the exit. The walls and ceiling of the tunnel begin to crack even more. Ragnarok looks up, terrified - Time seems to slow down as the glass breaks, water flooding in from all sides. The colossal waves are too much to bear, and the door slams shut, sending Zim tumbling backwards. She pushes herself up and tugs on the door, but the water on the outside is exerting too much force, and the door is jammed due to how abruptly it was shut, both factors making it impossible to open. Glancing around, she finds herself in a storage room. There are no other doors or windows, it's terribly dark, and the YLOD continues to take effect. Zim sits with her back against the wall and her head in her hands. I guess...This is really is my worst day ever...And maybe even my last. | 2010-11-30 09:13:00 Author: TheZimInvader Posts: 3149 |
| ((Wait, train station? There's a train station in Rapture? I haven't played the game, so I dunno...)) ((there's a metro-like transportation sistem in Rapture, so yes)) GDN managed to open one of the doors that lead to the Medical Pavillion, and ran away from the splicers. But they just kept following him. GDN entered a door and closed it right before the splicers could follow him. He locked it using a pipe on the ground. GDN: That will hold them... He heard a voice. Unknown voice: What are you doing on my lab? GDN looked around, but the room was too dark to see. He walked towards the dark zone. Unknown voice: Come to me... GDN: Wait, I recon this voice... Suddenly, the lights went on for a second, revealing the crazy doctor operating an agonizing splicer with a kitchen knife. The lights went out right after. GDN started to get scared. GDN: I... I don't want trouble... I just want the cure for the YLOD... Doctor: Everyone wants it! But it is mine! Mine! MINE!!! Shots came from the dark, and GDN dodged them at the right moment. The lights went on and the doctor was carrying a machine gun. GDN: Ok then, fight! GDN grabbed his machine gun, but a splicer threw it away. The splicers broke into the room. Now GDN has to deal with multiple enemies! He ran to a small path to the side, and found a shotgun laying in a corner. He grabbed it and started to clean the room of splicers, until only the doc was remaining. His ammo was over. GDN: I guess I'll have to do this with my own hands! He started to fight the doctor, and kicked his gun away. He retaliated, picking up GDN and throwing him at the wall. The doctor picked up a neddle and charged towards GDN. GDN looked to his side and saw the machine gun. He pointed it at the doctor and perforated his chest with the gun's nose. GDN fired the weapon to be sure, and blood flew all over the place. He walked towards a desk, where a neddle with yellow content was located, and grabbed it. GDN: Thanks for this, doc... ------------------------------- GDN finds a Big Daddy carrying a little sister in his back. He keeps his distance as the Big Daddy stares at him. GDN: Calm down, I don't want trouble with you... A splicer decides to fight the Big Daddy. The Big Daddy throws him at a wall. Then he grabs him by the neck and points his drill at his forehead. Splicer: No! No! I won't do that again!!! I promise!!! The Big Daddy perforates his head and the wall. Then he removes the drill from it and goes away. Zim: What's happening out there??? GDN: Zim??? Is that you? Zim: GDN? Over there! GDN glances throught the small hole in the wall and sees Zim inside a small closed room. GDN: Zim, what are you doing there? Zim: I got trapped... Can you help me to get out of here? GDN: Sure, sure, I just need to find a way to dig throught this wall... Then, water started to come from underneath the door in the room. Zim: The room is filling with water! Do something!! GDN: Oh, god, hold on! ------------------------------- GDN followed the Big Daddy he saw before. He had to get his drill. GDN: Well, asking kindly won't work, so, here goes nothing... GDN picked up a crossbow that was laying next to a corpse. He fired a bolt at the metal daddy, and it got angry. GDN fired some more bolts at him, and then dodged just before it charged towards him. GDN hopped on its back and began to mess with the mechanisms in his back. He disconnected a tube, and the Big Daddy began to run out of breath. GDN: Looks like I found your air tube! The Big Daddy collapsed. The little sister knelt to his side and began crying. Little sister: Why won't you move, Mr. Bubbles??? GDN picked up the drill and ran back to Zim's location. ------------------------------- The water level in the small room was at Zim's head. She was desperately knocking on the wall. Zim: GDN, are you still there??? Help!!! GDN ran to her location, almost out of breath. GDN: Ok, I found something that could help... Suddenly, a splicer grabbed GDN by his neck with a wrench and threw him away. Zim: GDN! Zim climbed on some crates to keep the water below her head. The water started to flow throught the hole in the wall, but it wasn't big enough to stop the room from flooding. GDN: Get out of my way! My friend is in danger! Splicer: Great, two birds with one stone! GDN: I said GET OUTTA MY WAY!!! GDN punched the splicer with the drill. They began to fight. Zim: Help!! I don't have much time!!! GDN: Hold on, Zim! Zim: GDN... The water... *gasp* The water covered the whole room, and Zim was trapped underwater. GDN: Zim!!! Beat it, splicer! GDN punched the splicer again, with so much strenght, that he flew into the wall. GDN charged towards him and pinned the drill throught him and the wall, just like the Big Daddy did. The wall collapsed, and the water threw GDN away. He got up, and saw Zim on the ground, unconscious. He ran to her. GDN: Zim! Zim! GDN checked her vitals. ((tl,dr: GDN kills the crazy doctor and finds the cure for the YLOD; he finds Zim throught a hole in the wall; the room where Zim is starts flooding and GDN kills a Big Daddy to use his drill to dig the wall; Zim is unconscious)) ((Zim continues)) | 2010-11-30 15:59:00 Author: gdn001 Posts: 5891 |
| Matthews dropped out of a vent into the remains of what appeared to be a surgery, He rummaged around in the toolbox before pulling out a holotape and a small pen drive like object, He ran out of the surgery past it's dead owners into the corridor, There was a little sister crying over a big daddy corpse, Matthews picked up her needle and threw it away before picking up the little sister and putting her on his back. He noticed the Man drilling at a wall before heading back to the Bathtsphere dock, He placed his scuba mask on his head and pulled out of the bikes storage *what looked like an asthma tube with straps, he fitted it to the little sister before diving into the ocean with his project in tow... | 2010-11-30 16:29:00 Author: Kern Posts: 5078 |

((I know that, But Matthews doesn't  ))"Hello? Horatio is that you?" Matthews asked through his scuba masks radio as he saw a black and green speedboat pull up to a lighthouse, "Yes it is, Who is this?" Horatio replied "It's Tarquin Matthews" Matthews grinned to himself "I assume you're heading to rapture, well I'll need you to get me some things, There's these machines called Gatherers gardens, I need you to smash into every one and retrieve the things inside, and bring them to me at New Natal for testing" Matthews closed the Coms link as he examined the Inciendary Gene he had found in the Little Sisters pocket along with a blue injection called EVE. he headed to the shore. | 2010-11-30 16:44:00 Author: Kern Posts: 5078 |
| ((Oops, I am late. Held up by snow.)) Zeta looked out of the plane window at the web of lights spread out below. New Natal, here we come. She thought as the plane's nose dipped towards the ground. ---------------------------------- 'C'mon!' Blue whispered, beckoning. Time differences had for once been an advantage, it was midnight in the city, well after the 10.00 curfew. Such a large place had become a Microsoftian fortress. With its neighbour fallen everybody was on high alert. Zeta and B3 were racing through the streets to the meeting point with the Nintendo agent, who was waiting to take them underground to the base. However there progress was not being as fast as they had hoped. They had anticipated high security, but with the influx of soldiers fleeing Old Natal the guard had doubled. Zeta caught up with B3 swiftly, feeling already back in her training days. Remembering the exercises, a single pair of agents having to run unseen through a base heaving with enemies. It is like a video game, guards have a routine. Discover this and you can find the key to their weakness. But this wasn't a simulation anymore, Zeta reminded herself, no extra lives to be had here. B3 glanced down the alley, a soldier stood in the blue moonlight, his breath forming steam in the cold air. Blue aimed his gun at the man's back, squinted through the eye piece. Zeta saw him and grabbed his arm, B3 turned round, barely suppressing a swearword. 'Don't shoot, you could blow our cover!' She muttered quickly. 'What, these guns are silent! Stealth weaponry, remember?' Blue whispered through clenched teeth. 'Yeah, but we don't want to leave any evidence. Ideally we need to get in and out without any alert.' B3 sighed, 'Alright, when I give the signal we cross to the next alley. But we can't be taking detours all day, alright?' He turned again to check the guards position. Zeta waited, then saw him nod. Silently they ran across the section of light, sinking again into the shadows. Quickening the pace now, they ran silently through the maze of streets, eerily silent in the usually bustling city. B3 was using his GPS inbuilt in his visa to navigate, but Zeta could still remember the disturbingly familiar passageways. Her brother had worked for Sony, she still felt pain at his betrayal after her family died. Before the war he had moved there simply for a new life, but then divided by the war they had lost contact and had gone there separate ways. Her brother had been bitter at Nintendo, whom he had always blamed for the loss of their parents. Zeta wondered where he was now, whether he was even still alive. B3 suddenly skidded to a halt, backing up sharply in front of her. 'Whats up?' She whispered, but stopped as he desperately signalled for silence. She saw just in time another soldier passed into view. This didn't seem to be any ordinary guard though, heavy duty armour and high-tech weaponry glinted as he passed under a streetlamp. He waved the guard aside, he was looking for someone, and Zeta had a chilling suspicion who that was. 'Someone's onto us, they've sent one of their elite's out to search the city.' She said under her breath, hardly daring to move. 'But how? We are undetectable and Microsoft's electrics are down.' Zetas eyes widened, there was only one way he could of been tipped off about them, and have scanners that let him pass within talking distance of them. 'Traitor in Nintendo? Someone high up enough to know about this?' She said, voice shaking in shock. 'Maybe, but at least we know now. We can still be one step ah-' A blast searing hot exploded out of nowhere centimetres from their hiding place. Zeta span round to see a grin spread across the elites face beneath his helmet. She slammed a fist onto the sensor bar, activated the holographic shield, flicking her from sight. Blue leapt... ((There you go, action. Feel free to wreck havoc. tr,d: B3 and Zeta arrive, but their creep through the city is interrupted by a elite on their tail, mysteriously bearing Nintendo technology.)) | 2010-11-30 18:46:00 Author: PygmyOwl  Posts: 1316 |
| Zelda grunted as she pulled the handle of the Generator down, the lights flickered for a moment before dying again. She sat in her chair and Activated the computer, A Grunt had brought her a spare generator and had hooked it up to the computer, She had logged on when Matthews came in through, He had a pale green child on his back like a father and child, He set her down and walked over to Zelda, he embraced his friend before turning to see the little girl had followed him, She had devotion in her eyes. "This is Emily" Tarquin explained "I brought her from Rapture to see if we can extract ADAM from her without harming her, Is the power still down?" "Yeah, I've tried but it needs a bit of electricity to set it off." Zelda replied "Okay well stand back" Matthews said picking up one of the Blue syringes, he injected it into his arm and fired a bolt of electricity at the generator which kicked into life. The lights flickered and the security mainframe kicked back online to see a crouched nintendo agent run infront of the guards without being seen, The holograph vibrated so it was undetectable to humans, cameras saw things much faster. He slammed a button on the wall and ran out into the darkness c picking up an infrared visor. | 2010-11-30 19:03:00 Author: Kern Posts: 5078 |

| ((Sorry I took so long for something so short, I had to go afk for a bit, plus I can't think of anything atm)) GDN remembers the YLOD cure he had gotten from the doctor - He rummages through his pockets for it, but it isn't there. GDN desperately looks around for it, but the dim light makes it difficult to see. Out of the corner of his eye he sees a figure standing in the doorway of the wall he had smashed through. The figure steps out of the shadows to reveal himself. "Looking for this?" Jack is swinging the handle of the syringe on his finger as he smirks grimly. "Y'know, the YLOD and RROD are virtually the same thing...I'm sure this would be useful at Microsoft." | 2010-11-30 21:20:00 Author: TheZimInvader Posts: 3149 |
| GDN: Jack, you... Jack: Try and get me! Jack sends three security bots after GDN. He uses the drill to block the bullets and destroy them. GDN: Zim, stay there and hold on... GDN runs after Jack. The drill is heavy, so he ditches it to run faster. Jack is stuck at a locked door. GDN: You... Now, give me back the syringe or... Jack: Or what??? Jack draws a pistol and fires at GDN. GDN dodges his bullets and hides behind a pillar. GDN: Damm it! Jack: C'mon, are you afraid of me??? The door behind Jack starts to crumble. He stops shooting and looks at it. A large amount of water comes out, with Ragnarok and a Big Daddy in it. The Big Daddy throws Ragnarok to where GDN is. The syringe is laying on the floor. Jack crawls towards it and tries to pick it up, but the Big Daddy steps onto it, crushing the only cure for the YLOD. GDN: NOOOOOOOOOO!!! Now how can I save Zim... Jack: Damm it! GDN: Zim can't be cured now... She'll die... AND THAT'S ALL YOUR FAULT!!! GDN points at Jack and the Big Daddy. His hands are emmiting sparks and shining blue. And his eyes are glowing red. Ragnarok: What the...? Is that GDN? GDN fired a bolt of eletricity at Jack, and the water around them eletrocuted, frying the Big Daddy and hurting Jack. GDN isn't satisfied, and he levitates Jack and begins to choke him at a distance. He then throws him to the side. Ragnarok: What the hell GDN??? Since when you got powers??? GDN, now more calm, and confused, says: GDN: I don't know what's happening... Wait... GDN then remembers about the power gloves, the RROD and the YLOD viruses and how he defeated them back at the hospital in Old Natal. GDN: Somehow... My body absorbed the powers... And now they're back! Ragnarok: Ok, GDN, but what about Zim? GDN: ZIM! GDN runs back to where he left Zim, Ragnarok following behind. Zim was still there, laying on the floor. Ragnarok: What happened??? Is she dead? GDN: I hope not... GDN touches Zim's forehead, and his hands begin to glow yellow again. Ragnarok: What is this? GDN closes his eyes and concentrates. His veins begin to glow yellow. He touches Zim's forehead again, and her veins glow yellow too. The two begin to glow until an explosion of light occurs and throws Ragnarok away. He gets up and sees GDN and Zim still at their places. Zim slowly opens her eyes. Zim: GDN...? GDN: Zim! You are alive!!! GDN hugs Zim happily, and she still doesn't understand what's going on. ((tl,dr: GDN chases Jack and meets up with Ragnarok and his "pal". The Big Daddy crushes the cure, and GDN gets angry. He gets his powers from the gloves back, and uses them to kill the Big Daddy and throw Jack away. Then, he uses his latest power to cure Zim)) | 2010-11-30 22:02:00 Author: gdn001 Posts: 5891 |
| Matthews jogged down the street with a plateau of soldiers behind him, He noticed the heat Signature move before launching a spark from his hand, which caused the holograph to fade out, One of the rangers shot The soldier with a tranquilliser gun... **** Matthews lay the sleeping pair down on the mattresses of New Canaan, He lay a note detailing how they would be executed if they were found again, he got onto his mongoose and set Off as One of them began to swear, Tarquin grinned as their stealth weaponry clattered noisily as he returned to his base.

Well, I can do that for you, then you can have some freedom in your story)) Zim: What's happening? GDN: You are safe now. Ragnarok heard screams at the distance. Ragnarok: Sorry to annoy you, but I think that we should move NOW! GDN and Ragnarok held Zim by their shoulders and began to drag her. Zim: Quit playing the hero! I can walk for myself. The three ran to the sub. They entered it, and hordes of splicers came after them. GDN closed the sub door right in time. GDN: Ok, now start the sub! Zim started the engines, but the sub wasn't moving. Zim: It's stuck! Ragnarok: ******, the sub is still attached to the dock! GDN: I'll take care of it! GDN jumped out of the sub and ran to the dock controls. He used them to release the sub. GDN ran towards the sub, but was blocked by lots of splicers. Zim: GDN, come on!!! GDN: I'm trying! GDN tried to burn all the splicers using his powers, but unfortunately they weren't working at the moment. GDN: ******, not now... Ragnarok: GDN, fast!!! GDN: There are too much of them! Go without me! Zim: What??? GDN: Do it!! Zim: I refuse to... GDN: IT'S AN ORDER!!! Zim: Damm you! The submarine submerged, and GDN ran away, chased by the splicers. GDN found a bathysphere station and jumped inside an empty bathysphere. Then he quickly pulled the switch and the door closed. The bathysphere submerged. -------------------------- Meanwhile, at the sub: Ragnarok: So, what we do now? Zim: We get back and get GDN. Ragnarok: We can't get back! The splicers will be waiting! And GDN can take care of himself... Zim: If you say so... But still... -------------------------- The bathysphere reached the surface. GDN looked around, but he couldn't find the sub or any sign of civilization. All he could see was an island in the distance. He used the sphere's motor to get to it. -------------------------- GDN arrived the island. It was deserted, only a big jungle everywhere. He decided to enter the jungle. He crossed some trails and rivers throught the jungle, finding some crates with guns in them. GDN: Great! These are a bit old, but still working! GDN equipped himself with a pistol, an AK-47 and four grenades. He kept walking throught the jungle, finding a wrecked plane. GDN: At least I wasn't the first one to get stranded here... He arrived at a high cliff. The ocean was right below him, knocking onto some sharp rocks. GDN: I better watch my steps... GDN saw a fort ahead, by the cliff. He decided to get to it. ((tl,dr: The three escape Rapture, but GDN is separated from the others; he arrives at a apparently deserted island)) ((To everyone: I won't be home tomorrow until 6:00 PM (GMT -3), so don't expect me to post before that.

| ((I guess it's my turn now!)) The submarine got the the surface but it was damaged and unable to move, they were stuck in the middle of the sea Ragnarok: Ok, looks like with the YLOD fix I can bring all our troops back online Zim: Wait, what? which cure? It was destroyed! Ragnarok: You have the cure Zim, after all you seem to be immune to the YLOD now, however I need to see how to get that into data, guess a science team could do that but it will take time Zim: There's no way I'm becoming an experiment!! [Data]Zim appeared coming out of a portal Ragnarok: Wow, where did you came from? we could have used your help a couple of hours ago you know? [Data]Zim: It doesn't matter now quick your PDA, ([Data]Zim grabbed Zim's hand and then placed her hand over Ragnarok's PDA) Ragnarok: The YLOD fix!, this shall prove to be very useful now, I'm calling for a pick up if there happens to be any unit left, thanks data... [Data]Zim had disappeared leaving nothing of her behind Ragnarok: She.. left again, anyway, looks like I'm getting response, a vehicle should be here in a couple of hours Zim: What are we supposed to do now? Ragnarok: You have some cards? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ A Helgan dropship arrived a few hours later Zim: Wait, how come their vehicles and equipment is still working? Ragnarok: I... have no idea Zim and Ragnarok got in the dropship Ragnarok: Sergent, tell me how did you evaded the problems with the YLOD virus?! Helgan Sgt: We switched back to old PS2 equipment, our resources are limited but we managed to make a stand in Old Natal, we got to remove MS forces as most of their systems got somehow bugged, however many of them retreated to a place called New Natal... Ragnarok: New Natal? I think I heard of that place before, anyway tell the H-03 Commander that we got a fix for the YLOD, retransmit the data to the main HQ so we can use PS3 system again Helgan Sgt: Yes sir. Zim: Yes sir? I didn't knew you were in charge of the tin-can heads? Ragnarok: Yeah well, I got my place in the Helgan army subdivision some time ago... Zim: Hey what do we do with GDN? we need to see if he is ok! Ragnarok: There's no way to locate him right now and I don't have any idea of where he is, it would be better to wait for him to call back, after all he seems to blend in really well in rapture, he should had made his way out by now Zim: Are you crazy? are you going to just leave him there? Ragnarok: There's nothing we can do, we cant go searching for him on the ocean when there's a war out there, however I'll make sure to send a couple of dropships to search for him when we arrive at Old Natal... --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The dropship arrived into the captured Old Natal, PS forces had already dealt with the YLOD and were using the PS3 system again, most of the city had been reinforced and a big metal wall was being constructed around the city... Zim: Is this Old Natal?! Ragnarok: Not anymore, now its Sony Main HQ since we lost the last one in the sea and MS destroyed our mainframe with the YLOD, I say eye for an eye, fair enough The dropship landed, Zim and Ragnarok left the vehicle and walked to the command building which used to be Jack's building Ragnarok: Hey Zim, the rescue team will go out for GDN in half hour so make sure to prepare yourself and change equipment, the officer here can guide you to a private room Zim: Ok then ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ragnarok went to visit the H-03 Commander... H-03 Commander: Good job on getting that fix, it wasn't easy to take over, we even tried to get and capture Jack and his friends but they had left when we arrived, about our mainframe, we restored a new one here since the last one was destroyed with the YLOD by a MS group lead by some one called "Horatio" however we have an elite stealth team following him Ragnarok: Horatio? never heard of him before, however Jack was on rapture trying to find a fix for the RROD, his current location is unknown H-03 Commander: We had set defenses over all of Old Natal, even got some data on the warp field they used to teleport into the city, we used reverse engineering on it and made a repulse field that will prevent them to get into the city by any means of teleportation, however we expect them to come back even if most of them moved to New Natal Ragnarok: New Natal, seems they must be hiding something important there ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ragnarok left the building and saw Zim getting in one of the dropships with a Helgan squad to look for GDN Ragnarok: Zim, I already gave orders to the soldiers to follow your instructions, good luck on finding GDN, make sure to tell him to come back to the base when you find him Zim: I'll let him know The dropship took off and raised into the sky, Ragnarok went to his room and prepared his equipment, took a stealth suit a weapon and some ammo Ragnarok: New Natal. . . lets see what it hides Ragnarok got in a stealth jet and took off to New Natal ((PS forces got a YLOD fix, Old Natal was successfully captured by PS forces and established defenses to prevent MS personnel to teleport in, Zim went to look for GDN on a Helgan dropship, and Ragnarok headed to New Natal as most MS forces returned there)) | 2010-12-01 07:35:00 Author: Ragnarok Posts: 898 |
| Zim shifts uncomfortably in her seat, looking around apprehensively. Although on SONY's side, the Helghast troops look menacing with their weapons in hand, making her uneasy. She shakes it off and pulls out her radio to contact Ragnarok. "Ragnarok, once you've conducted recon of New Natal, go straight back to the base - Then we can plan our strategy and what to do next. Don't go doing anything stupid, and don't get caught - do you understand me?" Ragnarok held the switch on his radio communicator and replied casually. "Roger." - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - The search squad reaches the underwater city's location. Troops on the dropship scan the area for any sign of their commander, Zim anxiously looking around as well, but the only thing visible for miles is the vast ocean below - No islands, no water vessels, nobody. Zim knew GDN's radio communicator was damaged from the excessive amounts of water it was exposed to, so there was no way to contact him. The sun eventually begins to set, but she orders the troops to continue the search throughout the night. | 2010-12-01 09:27:00 Author: TheZimInvader Posts: 3149 |
| ((Dizzy never said we were captured, lrn2 read. I GUESS I'll play it this time, but don't be surprised if you go through your second character pretty fast. :kz: I'm ****ing tired of everyone god-modding all around me.)) Blue was ****** as hell, to no surprise. But his expression quickly turned into a grin. He stood up, Zeta still unconcious beside him, and launched a gigantic bolt of electricity into the group of his attackers. The group quickly collapsed. "It won't kill them," Blue thought, "unless they don't get any help. Which of course, they won't, not out here." Blue sighed and decided he'd better do the right thing. He walked up and took his weapons back, then used his powers to give them all a healing spark. Now they would be fine, but they would be out for at least five hours. And better yet, the section of New Natal they needed to get into would now be left completly unguarded. Blue threw Zeta over his shoulder and started back to town.

| ((My turn! NAO!)) Ragnarok got Zim's call as his plane approached the outskirts of New Natal, the intel he had on the place was just a location, none of the Helgan scouts sent there to investigate had returned, he aligned the Jet and activated VTO mode and landed on a safe spot, the place was in darkness, as he approached to the outskirts of the place he saw New Natal, lots of buildings shining in the darkness of the night Ragnarok activated his cloak system and cold suit, he was invisible to human sight and thermal detectors now, as he walked through the streets he took out a camera and began to take pictures of the place, while getting closer to the city he saw a couple of people shooting and some strange electrical activity then someone walking away with a person on his shoulder Ragnarok: Any one with the guts to get into a heavily armored base like this and kill some of their guards cant be that bad wonder what they are after for... Ragnarok took out his Gauss rifle and walked toward them, he deactivated his stealth system to be visible by them B3: Who the hell is that! (B3 shot at the figure as he tried to cover from the attack on the side of a building) Ragnarok: I'm not MS if that's what you are wondering! I can help you out! B3: Then you must be crazy or stupid to come here, what the hell do you want! Ragnarok: Probably the same that you want, I came here for some intel B3: Who do you work for? Ragnarok: Does it matter?, look we can either make a temporal alliance and both benefit from it or we can die here in a pointless fight getting all the attention from MS security guards, plus I see you have an injured person there and I happen to have some medical supplies B3: I.., let me think about it ((Ragnarok travels to New Natal and lands on the outskirts of the city, as he walks he looks how B3 fights some MS people, he gets close to him and offers him a temporal alliance)) | 2010-12-01 16:53:00 Author: Ragnarok Posts: 898 |

| Zeta woke up slowly, her mind still sluggish from the tranquilliser. She felt confused and disorientated, her brain didn't ever attempt to work out where she was, alive was a good enough for now. She waited for a few moments for her head to clear a little, then opened her eyes a crack, sharp light piercing her vision. Survival instincts running high she prepared herself for the worst, a cold enemy cell and gun inches from her face- 'Woken up at last?' B3 grinned with the manic cheerfulness of someone still alive against all the odds. Zeta groaned, 'What happened?' 'I was extremely heroic and saved your life from crazy Microsoft agents.' Zeta looked around grumpily, 'You didn't steal any food between heroic deeds perchance?' Then she noticed another soldier leaning on the wall in front of her. 'Who's that?' she asked. 'Not even a thank you...' Blue muttered, 'Oh yeah, thats Ragnarok, he is...helping us out.' B3 glanced round, them wondered off and continued meddling with a tangle of wires protruding from some machinery. For the first time Zeta took a scan of her surroundings, she was in a small rectangular room with strangely circular walls, one long curved window showed only blackness outside. A wall of computers was where B3 was crouched, separated by a row of controls. The light came in from a door leading to another room, slightly larger and lined with some sort of cushioned benches. Suddenly Zeta realised where she was, in a skyliner. 'Whaaaaat?!' She said aloud. Skyliners were the main form of transport in the crowded cities, they ran along a network of rails crisscrossing between destinations throughout New Natal. 'Yes, do you like my plan? Quickest way we can get to the meeting place on the other side of town, above any spies sneaking about.' B3 called from the cabin. 'Thats just insane. Breaking into a skyport? Seriously?' 'They weren't expecting it, they were all searching any back alleys we could hide down. Huge buildings, not so much.' Ragnarok said, speaking for the first time. 'But-' Zeta protested, turning to him. 'Free lift down there, and you don't look like your in much of a state to be going anywhere fast.' He continued. Zeta had to admit she didn't feel great, and despite the healing powers of the plants in her belt blood still stained her jacket where the dart had hit her. Suddenly the skyliner whirred into life, swaying slightly and its engines engaged. B3 clapped his hands together in satisfaction. 'I gave it a power boost to get us to the shore in 5 minutes.' He declared, standing up. Zeta returned to the cabin, staring at the sky as they moved out of the port. 'Not afraid of heights still Zeta?' Blue asked looking out as they sped out over New Natal. 'Aw c'mon, you know I haven't changed a bit.' Zeta said, relaxing a little. She remembered how her slightly irrational trademark had been running to the highest place possible when under attack. She had always felt safer with the freedom of the rooftops. The skyliner gave an sudden lurch to one side as a unnaturally strong blast of wind hit it side on, nearly knocking Zeta off her feet. 'Hey, what was tha-' The words faded in her mouth as four lights came into view. 'Airforce!' B3 shouted as the shapes became clearer. Ragnarok rushed it, not saying a word, but drawing his gun. A shot rang out from the planes, Zeta grabbed the rail as the skyliner shook. They were not built to withstand attack. B3 had his gun out and shot straight through the windscreen, it hit home but was deflected by the shields. Ragnarok lauched several rockets out of the side window, but having little effect too. Suddenly half the lights on the console went out, the ship started gaining speed, sparks flying from the cords above them. 'These guys are real strong.' B3 muttered through gritted teeth, shooting a bolt of energy from his fingertips. 'We've lost the brakes!' She yelled, waving to catch Blue's attention as he aimed for another blast. He nodded, but kept firing. Zeta leaned out of the shattered window for a better view, wind whipping at her hair . The next port was approaching way to fast, if Microsoft didn't finish them building would instead. 'B3, Ragnarok!' She screamed over the roar of the wind and screech of friction. 'We have to get out!' Blue turned, ducking as another shot rocked the skyliner. Ragnarok grabbed the side for support and followed. She crouched down too, using the momentum of the next blast to haul herself to the door, pulling it open. B3 looked down, his eyes widening. B3 shouted something as he looked at the drop, but his words were lost in the wind. Zeta looked down, it did look impossible, but it was their only chance. She looked at Ragnarok and mouthed '3...2..1...' Grabbing B3s arm, she jumped. ((tr,d: Back in New Natal they take a lift in a skyliner to the shore line, but are attacked my Microsoft planes. Everybody relax a bit. We all seem to be doing our own bit of god-modding.)) | 2010-12-01 17:13:00 Author: PygmyOwl Posts: 1316 |

| ((we posted at the same time, I meant ragnarok)) Matthews activated the Lambda Protocol, The Entire City was sealed off from the outside and each MS personnel that had vitals above dead were transported via the Live System to the teleports, Jack appeared, Countless others appeared followed by a sleeping Woman of the same age as both Jack and Matthews, Matthews Caught her and carried her to the infirmary. He dismissed the Hospital robots as they approached with stretchers, He laid her down onto one of the hospital beds, 3 White Robots approached on rails from the roof and set to work on the girl.* "It's okay Elizabeth. We'll Fix you" When the Console Wars was a mild bicker among Gamers, Mr. Gates. Had launched a competition to be his successor, all the applicants had to do was demonstrate an Extreme Ability that would benefit Microsoft, Tarquin Matthews: Engineering Genius. Jack: Business genius. And Elizabeth Quinn; the greatest young diplomat. When Mister Gates inevitably died these three replaced him. Under the new command Microsoft expanded rapidly. Tarquin and Elizabeth had began dating, Jack inevitably began to lose his mind, So Elizabeth and Tarquin had gone their separate ways Tarquin created a hologram that would protect the empire, But inevitably the Console war had fluxed, and Microsoft only wanted peace this time, but was being assaulted by both factions one of which had set up the war.. Matthews glanced at the security screen to see a guard collapse and seem to pull itself seemingly into an Alley. Matthews hit high alert and his robots swarmed the city. | 2010-12-01 17:32:00 Author: Kern Posts: 5078 |

| Matthews leapt across the skyscrapers of the city in his now upgraded robot suit, He jumped as the thrusters activated boosting him to the next building, He flipped and leapt again, down into the alley. He activated the bright floodlights and scanned the area, he noticed the knocked out guards as the cable car shook above him, The group of people leapt, arm in arm as Matthews jumped onto the building* "CEASE FIRE!" Matthews yelled as his boosters fired him higher, He caught the falling trio in his pneumatic arms, He alighted onto one of the buildings and set them down gently. | 2010-12-01 19:03:00 Author: Kern Posts: 5078 |

| Ragnarok, Zeta, and Blue were set down on the ground. Leaning up a little, Blue mumbled something to Zeta, who nodded. Suddenly, the trio went invisible. As you might expect, the Microsoft ((?)) soldiers panicked. Suddenly, a bolt of electricity flew out from nowhere and slammed into Matthews, who was hovering miles above the ground. He fell, hitting the pavement hard. He'd be out of commission for a week, and that's IF he survived. "Thanks for the catch," Blue muttered, "but I think it's time you get off our case." While Blue was normally a fairly moral person, (as far as soldiers went), having Matthews attack him twice in the same day had shrank his patience. At this point, the Nintendo elite couldn't care less whether or not Mathews survived his fall. He deserved it. "The shield won't hold out long," Zeta told Blue. "We'd better get off of these rooftops." None of the soldiers hunting for them noticed when the door to the roof's stairs opened for a few seconds, then closed. Blue, Ragna, and Zeta were on their way once again.

| "Damm it" *Matthews cursed as the robot absorbed most of the electricity frying it's mechanics. Quickly Matthews kicked the door of the robot open, and limped out, he quickly ran towards the alley and activated his warp drive, He reappeared in the lobby of the main building coughing, his spleen had ruptured and he leaked blood as he limped into the infirmary, Zelda quickly ran over to him as he collapsed, Quickly the robots bustled around him and soon he was laid on a bed parallel to Elizabeths. | 2010-12-01 20:50:00 Author: Kern Posts: 5078 |
| Hours passed, but GDN was not found. Zim calls Ragnarok. "Still no sign of him...How's your recon going?" There was no response - Zim made sure her radio communicator was working properly, but there was absolutely nothing wrong with it. "Ragnarok, are you there?" The only sound that came through the radio was the steady murmur of static. Great! I shouldn't have left him to do this mission, of course he'd be the one to mess it up! Zim rises from her seat and orders the Helghast to locate Ragnarok on their computers. She approaches the control panel and studies the monitor. The thermal detectors recognize his shape and focus their view on his position - But there are two other shapes near him. Zim immediately assumes they're enemy soldiers, but her theory is proven incorrect as she notices that they don't seem hostile - All three of them seem to be heading for the main Microsoft building. "Ragnarok...is a traitor?" Zim attempts to pull up information on the people working with Ragnarok, but the database is unable to identify them. She looks away from the control panel angrily, then gives the Helghast troops a command. "Soldiers, set course for the SONY base." As the dropship turns around to head home, Zim takes one last look at the ocean stretching before them, holding on to the last bit of fleeting hope that GDN will be found when they return from New Natal. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - The dropship lands safely at the SONY base - Zim orders the rescue team to continue their search as she heads away from the landing zone and towards the launch pad. There are several different aircrafts positioned in neat rows. She sees a stealth jet identical to the one Ragnarok had taken, but smaller; perfect for the job. Zim approaches it and opens the small compartment that serves as the entrance. She enters the jet and takes her place at the pilot's seat. Zim reaches for her cane, which is normally on her back, but the only thing she grasps is thin air. She quickly turns her head around to see it's missing. "No no no! Where is it?! I - I...I must have left it at...Rapture..." She hurriedly searches through her backpack for it, in case she had forgotten she had put it there, but it's only equipped with the essentials for a stealth mission. Zim continues to rummage around and grips an object than seems to have the same shape as her cane. She pulls it out to find that it's a cane identical to her own, but made entirely of wood - Not very suitable as an effective weapon. Zim sighs and tosses her backpack to the side. I guess...It's the only replacement I have. If it helped once, then it can help again... Zim sets it down on the passenger seat of the jet, then takes hold of the steering mechanism, then configures the controls for take off. "Next stop, New Natal." ((tl;dr - GDN isn't found, but the search party continues, Zim heads for New Natal)) | 2010-12-01 20:52:00 Author: TheZimInvader Posts: 3149 |

| GDN walked throught the fort, there were crates and vehicles all around, but no sign of life. GDN: Strange... This place must be from the 1700's, but these crates and vehicles are so intact... He got into a jeep and headed throught a small dirt road. After traveling for minutes, he arrived at a deeper area of the island. There was a small dark village there. GDN walked to the plaza, but there wasn't any people there. GDN: Hello??? GDN heard a plane arriving. A Helghan transport landed near him and a soldier ran to him. Helghan: GDN, is it you? GDN: Yes, I am. Helghan: We were looking for you. Come on, get in! GDN got inside the transport. They headed to New Natal. When they were approaching the city, a soldier informed Zim about GDN. Zim: You found him? That's good. Soldier: Where are you located? Zim: I'm arriving at New Natal. Soldier: That's great, we are almost... An AA missile hits the transport. GDN: What the hell??? Helghan: The ship is under attack!!! Zim: What's happening there??? Respond! GDN grabbed the radio and shouted: GDN: We are going down!!! The transport lost control and started to spin and fall. GDN held onto a seat, while other soldiers were falling of the vehicle. It crashed on the ground with force. ------------------------------- A soldier slowly opened his eyes to see GDN running towards him and the transport burning at the background. GDN: Get up, you're still in one piece. The transport exploded. The confused soldier looked around. Only him and GDN survived the crash. GDN: Come on, we have to get out of here before the search parties arrive! The two hid in a building. GDN contacted Zim by radio: GDN: Zim,we crashed. Only I and another soldier survived. Can you pick us up? Zim: I'll se what I can do. Where are you? GDN: Just follow the smoke... ((tl,dr: GDN is found by the Helghans and they get back to New Natal, but are attacked and crash. Only GDN and another soldier survived.)) | 2010-12-01 21:10:00 Author: gdn001 Posts: 5891 |
| All this commotion is sure to call attention to almost every soldier in the city...A perfect distraction. Zim turns the small jet around towards the pillar of billowing smoke about half a mile away. As she arrives at the crash site, she sees GDN helping a soldier onto his shoulder. She pulls out her radio. "GDN, I don't have time to land - The soldiers will get to us before we can take off again. Listen to me carefully: I'm going to come in low and steady, and you're going to jump on. Got it?" "I've got another soldier with me, there's no way I can - " "Trust me on this!" The jet decreases altitude as Zim sets it on autopilot. GDN is below, supporting the injured comrade on his shoulder, his feet planted firmly on the ground. Zim leans out of the cockpit as it nears the two of them. GDN gets a running start. He manages to hop on one of the wings of the jet, still only a few feet off the ground - He's still got the other soldier and slowly makes his way towards the front of the aircraft, the wind slightly pushing him back. As he gets close enough, Zim grabs his hand and pulls the two of them into the cockpit. As the GDN tries to take the injured soldier to one of the seats in the back, a missile hits the side of the jet, making it lurch sideways. Zim takes the controls and tugs back on the steering mechanism. "We can make it over the city walls, but we're going to have to land somewhere inside the city or we'll leave a trail of smoke that'll lead the enemy right to us!"

Mercuy tries to fire, but he is for some reason much quicker than before, he manages to slash Mercuy's arm, but it's nothing serious. Mercuy dodges another attack, and forces Ched to the ground, and turns to run, but instead, gets greeted with the fist of Ched's counterpart, and falls to the ground, only to see the sight of Ched's foot, and his arm holding his chest. ----------------------------------Now Current time-------------------------------- Mercuy woke up in a white room, with a door, and no windows, 3 bodies lay to left, and 2 in front...

| GDN: Alright Zim, try to land on that building! Zim: Are you sure? Wouldn't it be better to land at the ground? GDN: If you want to get overrun by enemy troops upon landing, yes! Zim: Alright, I'll se what I can do! Zim headed towards the building and started the landing propulsors, but the enemies fired more missiles towards them. Soldier: Look out, more missiles!!! Zim: Aaaarrgh!!! Zim tried to dodge all of them, but there were too much and they were everywhere. A missile hit the aircraft's tail and it started to spin towards an abandoned office building. Soldier: That's great, two crashes in a row! The jet crashed onto the building. The three exited the vehicle, a bit dizzy. GDN: Oww... Well, so much for you parking classes... Suddenly, a missile hit the building's wall next to them, exploding the wall and knocking them back. The building started to collapse. Zim: Uh-oh... GDN: RUN!!! They tried to run towards the stairs, but a large debris blocked the exit. Soldier: Great! We're trapped! The floor started to fall, and the three fell with it. The ceilling over them started to collapse too. GDN: Oh, no, no, no... The ceilling began to fall on them. Zim and GDN hugged onto each other and closed their eyes. But, they didn't got crushed. Zim opened her eyes and saw a white shield around them. Zim: GDN, look! He opened his eyes and couldn't believe in what he saw. He noticed that his hands were glowing white too. GDN: Could this be... GDN heard a cry. He ran towards it, and removed a pile of debris from the source. He found the soldier, and he was impaled by a sharp piece of metal. GDN: NO! Zim: Oh my god... Soldier: GDN... Zim... Leave me there... You gotta escape... GDN: No, not without you! Soldier: No, GDN... *cough* I'm gone... Zim: I'm sorry, GDN, but he's right... There's not much we can do for him now... The soldier passed away. GDN picked up his dogtag and did a gesture of honor. Zim swore that a tear was coming from his eye. Zim: GDN, if you're ready to go... GDN: I am. Now let's get outta here. I don't want this to happen to you as well... They began to search for an exit, while talking: Zim: Don't worry, I can take care of myself! GDN: But still. I could not forgive myself if I ever let you die... Zim: No problem, that won't happen. They got out of the building. Search parties were arriving. GDN: Quickly, Zim, into that store! They hid into a dark, old store. While they were waiting for the enemies to pass, Zim asked: Zim: GDN, how did you do that with the shield? GDN: That? I don't know... I have the powers, but I can't control them directly. Zim: I see... Any ideas on how you got them? GDN: I think that it was a malfunction from the gloves. When I put them on, they modificated my genetic code somehow. Hence the "collateral effects"... Suddenly, they hear: Enemy: I think I heard something! In that store! ((tl,dr: They crash onto a building, which collapses with them inside. GDN and Zim are saved by GDN's powers, but the soldier isn't that lucky. They hide into a store from the enemies, but they notice them.)) ((the original post idea even had a flashback to GDN's war experiences... )) | 2010-12-02 01:39:00 Author: gdn001 Posts: 5891 |
| Three soldiers approach the store as the other search parties continue their investigation. One of them kicks the door open, the other two holding up their weapons. GDN is hiding beside a cooler, Zim behind the wraparound counter in the center of the room. The soldiers begin to search each area of the store, kicking over shelves and stands, uncovering every hiding place. As one of them nears the counter, Zim hooks onto his neck with her makeshift cane (http://media4.doink.com/thumbnail/415934/1247259336734.png) and swings him into a shelf of magazines across the room. But the cane is weak, being made of wood, and as she lets go, it snaps right in two. The other two soldiers are alerted as they hear the crash of wood from the other side of the store. The two of them quickly turn around to see Zim standing behind the counter, holding the broken pieces of the cane. She looks up to see them beginning to fire their weapons, then swiftly ducks down. GDN jumps out from his hiding place and tackles one of the soldiers. The other one whips around in GDN's direction and begins firing his weapon wildly, unable to locate either of the two. With his back turned the other way, Zim jumps at the oblivious soldier, holding each half of the cane in her hand. In one swift movement, she nabs him by the collar with the hooked half of the cane, followed by a diagonal slash with the straight, dull end. It isn't strong enough to penetrate his armor, but it sends him tumbling into a nearby rack of newspapers. Zim looks up and notices that the building used to be under construction - wooden scaffolding zigzags across the ceiling, holding up the roof. She climbs the highest shelf in the store and uses the hooked part of her cane to latch onto an edge, then pulls herself up onto one of the wooden supports. She hops to another support that happens to be situated above the soldier pushing himself up off the pile of newspapers and tangled metal. Zim slices through the wooden beam above the soldier, then hopping onto several others and slicing right through them along the way. She jumps back down to the floor a few feet away from the soldier. He stands up and points his weapon, but Zim remains where she is, smirking and crossing her arms. He seems confused for a moment, but hears a rumbling noise above him. The soldier looks up, his eyes widening as several wooden beams fall right on top of him. As the dust clears, GDN appears, bent over with his hands on his knees, then wipes his forehead. "Whew! Took care of that one..." He proudly stands up, then jumps back as he sees the soldier buried under a heap of debris. The ground begins to shake as Zim glances up towards the ceiling at where the wooden supports should be. "Yeah, I think we should get out of here." She grabs GDN by the collar and runs out of the store just as it collapses. Zim brushes herself off. "Now then...We need to find Ragnarok and get back to the base to plan our strategy. But I may have forgotten to tell you...He's with two others - they could be Microsoft or Nintendo soldiers, which would mean he's a traitor. But let's not go making assumptions..." ((tl;dr - Zim and GDN beat the bad guys.)) | 2010-12-02 05:06:00 Author: TheZimInvader Posts: 3149 |
| Ched picks himself up off the ground, gripping his knife steadily in his hands, preparing for another tackle towards Mercuy's torso. But much to his dismay, Mercuy seemed to have escaped yet again. He looked around cautiously before letting his guard down and sprinting back towards his little makeshift campsite by the brick wall. There lay his equipment, just as he had left it, all cluttered and in a mess. Ched decided to fetch the canvas bag he had tossed away earlier, hastily stuffs the equipment back into it and slings it over his shoulder. Before further embarking on his journey back towards the battlefield or who knows where for that matter; he kicks the campsite down, destroying it completely to remove any possible evidence that might lead off any curious, wandering Microsofters. ((tl;dr: After noticing that Mercuy was gone, Ched heads back towards the battlefield, or who knows where.)) | 2010-12-02 05:39:00 Author: Cheddars Posts: 447 |
| ((I know I'm kinda out, just a quick tip for GDN and anyone else who's interested. Whwnever you writte a really long post, if on the PC, every now and then, copy parts of it and past them, on word or something, or just select and copy it all before posting, if anything goes wrong (site's down or andom problem) you can just Ctrl+V the post aftr the problem's fixed. If on the PS3 Browser, you'll have a high risk o accidentally pressing the "Shift+Backspace" if you were writting something in Caps and backspace y accident, wiping out your entire post. :/ So I reccomend copying your text when it starts to seem rather long, remember to divide it into chuncks, luckly the PS3 can store multipple copied texts as long as you don't switch user or turn off PS3, so you can copy it in parts if you want (and you must if the text is too long as it won't save exteremely long paragraphs completly.) thus preventing a large loss should you accidentally delete all, or should the site fail after the long post. Hope that helps!  )) | 2010-12-02 05:48:00 Author: Silverleon  Posts: 6707 |

| Matthews thrashed as stem cells rushed through his body replacing blood cells and his spleen. Next to him Elizabeth was still but with her Mind pulses matching Tarquins heart rate, She was worried. Tarquin and Elizabeth gasped in unison as they both bolted up into an immediate standing position; Zelda gasped, Matthews and Elizabeth inhaled heavily and sat back down, Medical robots offered their help to Matthews, Matthews refused and directed their expertise at Elizabeth. He stood up and hugged Zelda. Running out of the infirmary he dons a White Suit and shades, passing by the reception he snatched up his Carbine and headed out into the night. | 2010-12-02 07:28:00 Author: Kern Posts: 5078 |
| ((I gather that any Sony peeps wont be back at this unnamed sony base anytime soon, so i shall make awesome escape!)) AA was alone. By this time he had the idea that this was only a small prison, about 5 men on duty. It was time to make a move. His eyes sparked, and a massive ball of electricity flung from his chest. He gasped, then inspected his handiwork. The metal had melted and was red hot. AA slowly rose up and limped out of the broken cell. Suddenly, he flinched.his eye twitched as he shot a bolt of electricity from his hand. He grasped his head and screamed. Undefined time later... AA ran. As far as he could. He was in some god forsaken desert. The sands blew as he trudged along. He collapsed gasping... | 2010-12-02 07:42:00 Author: AA_BATTERY Posts: 1117 |
| ((Day off school today due to insane amounts of snow. I will have more time to post.)) Zeta, B3 and Ragnarok sprinted through the last stretch of the city, the gaps between buildings widening with each step. Zeta glanced behind her, soldiers had been delayed, but she wasn't sure for how long. B3 shouted something between gasps, 'I can see them on in my visa, they are fanning out to search for us, but we are close to the meeting point now.' Zeta nodded, she secretly wondered how safe it was to have Ragnarok with them still, so close to their base. But she couldn't deny he had shown no signs of betrayal yet, reluctantly she found she had to trust him. The shoreline was visible now, Zeta felt a burst of confidence, maybe for once they could make it unscathed. 'Look up!' B3 suddenly yelled, shattering Zeta's hopes. A soldier's jetpack burned the air above them leaving a fiery trail in the sky. The soldier aimed twin blasters at the ground, a helicopter lighting them up suddenly in its spotlight, they were easy targets. B3 span round and flung his arms upwards unleashing a electric bolt hitting the soldier with a bang. He twisted in the air and fell into the darkness. Zeta's heart sank as several more passed under the spotlight for a second, already firing. Zeta kept running, shots exploding around her feet. Ragnarok suddenly stopped, aiming his gun at the sky. Zeta nearly skidded to a stop beside him in suprise, 'Keep running, they'll have you in seconds!' She yelled in confusion. Ragnarok ignored her and fired three rockets into the sky, Zeta watched as they locked onto the helicopters heat and slammed into it, exploding on its side. The spotlight disappeared immediately, as the flaming vehicle crashed to the ground. Ragnarok was up and running in an instant, rejoining the group. 'Whoa, nice shooting there.' B3 called. 'There are still more of them!' Zeta shouted looking at trails of light in the sky. Then she saw it, a circular hole in the ground several wide, flickering into view. I guess I am not the only one with some fancy technology in Nintendo. She thought to herself. It opened sending a blue light into the sky. More shots sounded from above, but Ragnarok and Blue weren't firing back anymore, they had seen the entrance too. Diving the last few paces Zeta threw herself at the it, falling into blackness. ((tr,d: Zeta, B3 and Ragnarok make it to the underwater tunnels leading to the base just in time, surviving an attack on the way.)) | 2010-12-02 09:10:00 Author: PygmyOwl Posts: 1316 |
| GDN: Now, were could they be now? Do you have any clue? Zim: No... I... They hear explosions coming from the shore. They can see helicopters and soldiers in jetpacks getting shot at the distance. GDN: There! That's surely them! Zim: Well, we need some kind of transportation... GDN looks at a parking lot and sees some fancy motorcycles (http://www.motorbeam.com/wp-content/uploads/Harley_Davidson_Wallpapers.jpg)there. GDN: What do you think of these? Zim: As long as they take us to them, ok. GDN grabbed a shotgun (http://i672.photobucket.com/albums/vv90/migah-ronin/1887winchester.jpg) from one of the soldiers and hopped on a bike. Zim gets on another, and the two speed towards the shore. Some enemy trucks appear right in front of them. GDN: Whoa! GDN fires the shotgun at the truck, flipping it between shots. The truck eventually catches on fire and explodes. Zim: Nice one... LOOK OUT!!! GDN looks at his side and sees another truck ready to ram into him. He jumps out of the motorcycle and onto the truck before they could hit him. GDN takes his pistol and uses it to kill all the soldiers inside, except the driver. GDN then asks Zim to come closer. GDN: Come on, Zim, get closer! Zim: What's your plan? GDN jumps into the motorcycle. He had left a live grenade at the truck, which explodes. GDN: Yeah! ------------------------------ The two reached a large entrance to an underwater tunnel. GDN: Well, this tunnel has Ragnarok's name all written over it... Zim: Where does it go? GDN: Underwater, right to a military base. Zim: Underwater? Oh, come on... GDN: Don't worry, Zim, it's... Zim: Remember the last time you said that? GDN: Yeah, but we were at an old and destroyed underwater city... Don't worry, get in, if something goes wrong I'll take care of it. Zim: Yeah... Sure you will... ((tl,dr: GDN and Zim go to the shore where Ragnarok fought the helicopters, and get inside the tunnel)) | 2010-12-02 10:44:00 Author: gdn001 Posts: 5891 |
| ((About 10 minutes before GDN's last post)) Zeta got up slowly, waiting for her eyes to adjust to the dim green light. She looked round quickly, relieved to see everybody in one piece. B3 groaned loudly, the sound echoing down the tunnel. 'That was close...' He said, looking at the concealed entrance above them. Ragnarok nodded, and continued down the tunnel, Zeta shot a questioning look at B3, she really didn't know if Ragnarok should be with them. Blue shrugged back, there was nothing they could do now. Zeta and B3 walked on behind, Zeta felt disorientated, the complete silence was eery after the noise of battle. Their footsteps sounded deep and metallic on the metal floor. The ceiling was glass, blue-green shafts of light could be seen piecing down from the distant surface. Zeta would of appreciated the beauty if it hadn't been quite so close. The thought of the weight of the water that must be crushing down was unnerving. Every so often they would pass though a small metal room where two pipes joined, curving across the seabed. Mostly they walked in silence, staring at the endless tunnel stretching off towards the blue horizon. The entrance was far behind them when Ragnarok suddenly stopped, listening hard. B3 stopped too, 'Whats up?' He asked, but Ragnarok waved a hand for silence. Suddenly Zeta heard it, a hollow regular beat approaching from behind. 'Footsteps...' She breathed. ((tr,d: Zeta, Ragnarok and Blue hear the coming of GDN and Zim)) | 2010-12-02 14:16:00 Author: PygmyOwl Posts: 1316 |
| GDN and Zim were walking throught the tunnel. Zim was looking at the sea, concerned. GDN: What is it? Zim: Don't you think that the glass could break at any second... GDN: Oh, come on, this glass is resistant! Zim: But still. I don't want to end up drowning here... They kept walking for a bit more, until GDN stopped. Zim: Why did you stop? GDN: There's someone here... GDN picks up his AK-47 that he got back at the island and tells Zim to stay behind him. He walks slowly towards the small metal room and opened the door with the gun's nose. GDN: Nobody here... GDN and Zim hear steps coming towards them. They hide by the door. GDN does some gestures for Zim, then someone opens the door and Zim throws him to the ground. GDN points his weapon at him. GDN: Ragnarok??? Ragnarok: Oh, it's you GDN... Relax, relax... GDN puts his weapon in his back and helps Ragnarok to get up. GDN: What the hell are you doing? Ragnarok: Well, you know, I'm helping my new friends to get to the base... Zim: "New friends"? Ragnarok: It is not what it looks like, Zim, I... Suddenly, a female voice shouts: "Ragnarok, what happened? Don't worry, we're coming!" GDN: Who is she? Ragnarok: It's a long story...

| Matthews returned to the facility to Zelda sitting next to a blanketed Elizabeth, Jack was also sat with them on a small stool, looking in awe as his former partner had returned. Matthews walked up to the Group and grinned at Elizabeth.* "Kernel!" Jack barked "Get Me and Elizabeth some coffee!" "I'm not Kernel." Tarquin replied bluntly "and I see you haven't changed" he added spitefully. "Tarquin?" Jack realised "But your dead!" "So was I" Elizabeth pointed out* "What happened to you?" Matthews asked as he noticed the scar on her arm.* "Oh it's nothing." Elizabeth replied "Just a fight"* Just then a Microsoft Soldier arrived Carrying two suitcases and a Large backpack. Matthews took them off him *and sat on a plush leather sofa. Out of the Backpack he pulled 3 small Suitcases and a small note that read briefly "Gene Tonics" He clicked them open and smiled as Horatio had labelled each one, He shut each one and took them into the lab followed by Elizabeth, He placed the Suitcases down as a little black haired girl ran up to him and hugged his legs. A bemused smirk spread across Elizabeths face as Matthews picked up the Girl and sat her on the laboratory counter. He turned around to see Elizabeth smirking, *"This is Emily" Matthews said gesturing to the girl "I rescued her from rapture, Emily, this is Elizabeth" Emily reached out a small hand and grabbed Elizabeths hand before falling backwards giggling. Matthews sent her on her way, and picked up a radio, "Seal off the base and radio all units to *only fire if fired upon. Any who doesn't will be removed"* | 2010-12-02 16:41:00 Author: Kern Posts: 5078 |

| ((Okay, I will post, I meant to earlier, but I had to go out. Sorry.)) Zeta sprinted back towards Ragnarok, reaching to her belt, B3 was flexing his fingers to deliver a killer blast of energy- 'Stop!' Ragnarok yelled, then quietened, 'These are friends.' Zeta stopped, looking suspiciously at the newcomers. She really didn't know what to think. One was a girl wielding a cane tightly in her hand and a soldier stood beside her looking as sceptical as herself. 'They are from Sony.' B3 glared, old anger welling up inside him. Ragnarok looked at the two parties, feeling somewhat nervous. 'Don't be so cynical you ol' veteran. They aren't shooting at us.' Zeta answered, rolling her eyes. 'Hmph. I was counting that as one of your merits.' the soldier said, looking at them squarely. 'Uh, Zeta and B3, meet GDN and Zim.' Ragnarok cut in. Zeta cheered up, feeling secretly pleased at the nice change of meeting someone who didn't attack them. 'Hi.' She grinned. B3 still looked moody, but he nodded to Ragnarok. 'How many people are we inviting to our little top-secret-weapon party?' He muttered at Zeta. She ignored him. After an awkward moment both groups relaxed, deciding to put up with each other. 'So, we off then?' Zim spoke for the first time. 'Do we have to hang around here, I am not sure I trust Nintendo engineering.' 'Y'know...me neither.' Zeta looked at the ceiling. She stomped off down the tunnel, she had enough of the chilly looks between the soldiers. 'C'mon then!' She yelled over her shoulder. ((tr,d: Zeta decides she doesn't mind the alliance but B3 is still a bit sceptical still. She gets frustrated and continues regardless.)) | 2010-12-02 21:00:00 Author: PygmyOwl Posts: 1316 |
| The group went on. GDN and B3 were exchanging bad looks at each other. Zeta: Pffft... Men... Zim: Tell me about it... Ragnarok approached them and said: Ragnarok: Come on huys, chill out! You can trust each other! GDN: I'm not sure... This guy keeps giving me bad looks. B3: No, I don't! You do! Zeta: Can you two stop? You look like two little childs! GDN: Alrgiht... GDN walks near Zim. GDN: Do you trust them? Zim: Well, Ragnarok is with them, so... GDN: And what if he's a traitor? Zim: Oh, come on, you're just being paranoid! Suddenly, the tunnel shaked, and everyone was fell to the ground. B3 looked above them. A MS ship was just shot down and the debris was sinking. Ragnarok: Well, nothing to worry about... Zim: Nothing to worry about??? The debris is about to crash onto the tunnel!!! Ragnarok: Uh-oh... GDN: RUN!!! They ran towards the next room, but more explosions were making the tunnel shake harder. GDN reached the door first and opened it. Zim, Zeta and Ragnarok entered it. B3 was still far from it. GDN: COME ON!!! MOVE!!! A piece of the ship crasged throught the glass, shattering it an making a big wave of water come inside the tunnel. It hit the door GDN was keeping open, closing it. GDN tried to open it again, but it was stuck. He was running out of air, so he swam to the top of the tunnel, where the water still haven't reached yet. B3 was already there. B3: What do we do now??? GDN: I have no idea!!! -------------------------- Meanwhile, inside the small room, Zim was still recovering from the shock. Zeta: Hey, where are B3 and GDN? Zim: Oh god, they're still there!!! ((summary: The tunnel breaks, GDN and B3 are trapped in it and in risk of drowning while the others are in a room next to them, safe)) ((free-posting: now anyone that is involved in this story can continue it)) | 2010-12-02 21:28:00 Author: gdn001 Posts: 5891 |

| "I've got a plan, but you have to stay out of the water. Can you hang off the roof for a sec?" "Wha... why?", GDN asked. "Just trust me." At this, Blue launched into Bullet Bill form, crashing through the water and scoring a direct hit at the rubble. The wreckage exploded, shaking the pipe GDN hung from. A split-second later, electricity blasted through the water, enough volts to kill anyone who was touching it. Shortly thereafter, we water receded to waist level, moving down to fill its new space. GDN jumped down from the roof and looked back. There was a pile of rocks and metal covering the exit. "He sacrificed himself? For someone he barely knew?" Just then, GDN heard a loud cough from the pile. Blue light filled the rubble, and GDN got a good idea of what would happen next. The soldier turned and ducked for cover just in time to avoid being hit by the flying rocks as electricity threw the pile open. When the dust cleared, GDN turned around and saw Blue walking to him, uninjured except for some blood on his face. The Nintendo elite smiled. "How did you," GDN started, but Blue interrupted by opening his hand and giving off a few sparks. "Electricity. Something I was born with, I guess. Don't really remember living without it. As for the explosion, that's something Nintendo scientists are responsible for. I'm able to transform into a Bullet Bill at anytime. They call me their project to recycle ammo." He grinned. "Look, I'm sorry we got off on the wrong foot. It's been a long day." GDN gave a small smile. "You have no idea. Sorry for being so harsh myself." The two headed into the chamber where the rest of their group waited. Zim looked surprised, but Zeta just grinned. "Hope you didn't miss us too much, ladies." Blue said. "Onward?"

| ((awwww, MS is done if Sony and Nintendo are working together...)) Mercuy sat up in the cell and rubbed his eyes, and made sure his nose was still in the right place after he got stomped on, and to his suprise it was. He didn't know if he was just being left to rot, but he knew that he couldn't just sit there. The only thing he could think to do was search the bodies left here. There's no way that all of them starved to death in here, one has to have something. heh, pack of cigarettes, too bad this isn't real prison. hey, look at this, radio! this thing still work? Mercuy picked up the radio and tried to get a lock on Jack's channel. "Mercuy to Jack, Mercuy to Jack, come in Jack." "Mercuy? you're alive? we all thought you died in the attack, where are you?" "Don't know, I think i'm in some Sony prison cell, where are you?" "New Natal, luckily there have only been small attacks here, I think they've backed off, is there any sign of Chief, Natalie or Frank there?" "I haven't seen them, and I know this city is too heavily guarded, so-" Just then, a guard opened down the door and kicked Mercuy over, making him drop the radio. "Who you calling? think you could get out?" "We-" "I DIDN'T SAY YOU COULD TALK!" He then stomped on the radio and handcuffed Mercuy, then escorted him out of the room, and down the hall. | 2010-12-02 22:09:00 Author: Merc Posts: 2135 |
| They resumed the walk, GDN and B3 were now talking like old friends. Zeta: Would you look at that... First they were acting like two wild dogs and now they can't stop talking... Zim: Well, at least we don't have to worry about them killing each other... Zeta: Anyway, Zim, what do you do? While Zeta and Zim began to talk, GDN and B3 were exchanging experiences. GDN: Your powers are really cool! You know, I have powers too... Sort of... B3: Really? Why don't you show me? GDN: It's complicated... I don't really know how they work, they just activate in the worst situations... B3: Oh... GDN: Anyway, what are you looking for in that base? B3: I thought that I already told you? We are looking for the WiiMotion Omega. That thing can do some awesome stuff... GDN: Sounds great! They reached the final door. Zeta: Well, here we are! Zim: So, can we take the elevator to the surface now? Zeta: Hehe, I'm afraid that the base is right below us... Zim: What? Oohh... Zeta: What... GDN: She can't swim. Zeta: Oh. They took the elevator to the base. When they reached the ground level, they stopped at a security checkpoint. Guard: Halt! Identify! B3: I am BlueBulletBill, and that's Zeta. We work for Nintendo. Guard: And what about the other three? B3: They're with us. Guard: I'm sorry, but I'm afraid that I can't let them in. GDN: What??? B3: It's ok... You'll have to stay at the waiting room then... Zim: Oh, come on, we went throught all this to stay at a waiting room? Zeta: Sorry... Anyway, let's get in then! The two got in and the rest kept waiting. Everyone was giving them bad looks. --------------------------- Scientist: Glad that you came. We have developed the newest, improved version of the WiiMotion! Meet the WiiMotion Omega! B3: Niiice... What can it do? Scientist: Well, we haven't tested yet... But I'm sure that you'll find a good use to it! B3: Sure we will... Scientist: So, anyway, I have to give some advice for you. When using it, never... The base alarm sounded. Zeta: What the hell??? A guard ran into the room, shouting: Guard: It's Microsoft! They are invading our base! Zeta: Oh, for the love of god... B3: It's ok, Zeta, time to put this thing for a test! --------------------------- Zim, GDN nad Ragnarok were at the waiting room, when the alarm sounded. Ragnarok: Uh-oh... Zim: I had a feeling that this would happen... The guards abandoned their positions to defend the base. GDN: Quick! It's our chance to get in! Zim: What? GDN: Let's meet with B3 and Zeta, and get the hell outta here! --------------------------- They ran throught the corridors, while the workers and scientists were running away, frightened. A smoke grenade detonated in front of them and Nintendo troops came from it. Trooper: Halt! Unknown people, raise your hands! GDN: Woah, calm down, we're... B3: They're friendly! GDN: What he said. Trooper: Well, if he's saying... We are being invaded by MS from all sides, they're sending scuba troops! Zeta: Can't we escape throught the tunnel? B3: It broke, remember? Trooper: We can still escape throught the emergency pods. B3: Right. Move! --------------------------- They ran towards the escape pod station, but it was heavily guarded by MS troopers. Trooper: There are too much of them! We can't get throught here! Suddenly, a explosion blasted the escape pods, letting a large amount of water in. B3: Fall back!!! Zim: Not this again... A large door closed behind them, protecting them from the water but trapping the soldiers. GDN: Great... It seems that we're on our own... And without escape routes... Ragnarok: Yeah... What if they decide to blow the base up with us here? Zim: Don't even suggest that!!! GDN: Hmm... I have an idea... But I don't know if it would work... B3: What is it? GDN: Are there any inflatable boats in this base? B3: Well, there are... Why? GDN: Take us to them! B3 began to run towards the storage room. Enemy troopers blocked their way, so they had to take a longer route. But they eventually find it. B3: Ok, so what's the plan? GDN pulled the boat's pin and it inflated quickly. GDN: We are using this to get outta here. Zeta: Hahaha, very funny... These things are supposed to float, and we're underwater! GDN: That's the point! It will take us to the surface very quickly. Zeta: Ohh... But, we don't have any scuba kits there... GDN: We won't need 'em. Zim: Whoa, whoa, whoa, hold on there, sunshine. You want us to hold our breath until we reach the surface? GDN: It won't be an issue... At this depth, it would take only 45 seconds for us to reach the surface... Zim: Yeah, but you know that I'm not the swimmer kind... I never managed to hold my breath for more than 30 seconds... GDN: You'll have to. This is the only way out... Enemy troops were heading to their location. GDN asked everybody to hold tightly onto the boat. Then he fired at some explosive barrels that were next to the wall. They exploded, opening a large hole and letting the water in. They got out of the base and the boat started to head towards the surface. --------------------------- The boat reached the surface and flew 10 meters high from the momentum, throwing everyone away. Zim started to sink again, but GDN quickly dived and got her back to the surface. Everyone got on the little boat. GDN: I told you, no issues! Zim looked at him, breathing deeply, and said: Zim: Never... Make... Me... Do that again! Everyone reacovered their strenght, then looked around. They were in the middle of the ocean. Zeta: Ok, so... Where we go now? ((Summary: - GDN and B3 become friends; - Zeta and B3 get the WiiMotion Omega; - The base is invaded by MS; - The group uses an inflatabe boat to escape the base, because the tunnels are blocked and the escape pods were destroyed; - They are on the boat, in the middle of the ocean.))

| Blue sat in the boat, rubbing his chin thoughtfully. "Hmm. Zeta, anything on radar?" "Nothing yet," she responded. "Microsoft will likely be pillaging the base for quite sometime, so we're probably safe as long as we don't sit here five hours." GDN looked upset. "I'm so sorry, we led them right into your base. If anyone was killed, we're to blame." Blue smiled at his new friend. "Don't worry, I'm sure they all got out. It would have been a disaster if they got the Omega, but hey, everything worked out." GDN's expression changed from upset to reassured. "Alright, that's good to know." He broke into a grin. "Speaking of, you guys are genius! A base right under Microsoft's own old HQ? They never would have seen it coming!" The two were quickly lost in their soldier's talk. Zim cleared her throat. "Not to interrupt your war stories, but any ideas? We are kind of in the middle of nowhere." Blue sat up again. He stared a Zim's cane for a few moments, a smile breaking out across his face. He turned to GDN. "You ever fished before?" "Uhm, yeah, a few times... what, are we going for the basic survival route? I'd prefer not to be here THAT long." "Do you have a good grip?" "Uh..." Zeta's eyes suddenly widened. "Oh god. Not the bobsled plan again." Blue grinned. "Yes, the bobsled plan. It's our best option for fast travel." Everyone else looked confused except for GDN, who was starting to smile himself. "It's insane. I love it." Blue hopped into the water, splashing everyone in the boat a bit. He turned to Zim. "We're gonna need to borrow your cane." She tossed it to Blue. He grabbed one end of it and held out the other for GDN to grab. His friend sat at the top of the boat, clutching the staff tightly. "What's going on here?!" Ragna yelled. Blue ignored him, and leaned forward in the water like a swimmer waiting for the gunshot. "Please keep your hands, feet, and lethal weaponry inside the raft at all times." He grinned like a crazy man. "Here we go!" Suddenly, Blue transformed into Bullet Bill form, launching the boat forward. Everyone but GDN screamed. Blue quickly leveled his speed off, so that he only caused a gentle mist over the group, while the boat sped on...

| ((I have to finish my epic story to get in on your epic story!)) Mercuy walked down the hallway of the building in fear, handcuffs on, and being escorted to another room was not a good recipe for being saved. well, looks like this is the end, bye world, thanks for all the life. The solider walked him down to the end of the corridor, and openned a door, leading into a larger room, much like the cell, but in this room, were 3 men to his right, wearing Microsoft outfits, and kneeling on the ground with thier hands behind thier heads, an execution position. To his left, were the friends he had been hoping to find, Natalie, Chief and Frank were to his left in the same position, Natalie's pink armour charred, and Chief's visor cracked. Well, now I have slightly higher hopes. Mercuy knelt down like the others, and put his hands behind his head, then realized the camera sitting in front of them. Dam, they're going to broadcast this all over New Natal, we have to do something, I just hope those 3 are thinking the same thing. Before Mercuy knew it, one of the Sony troops was talking, and the red light on the camera flashing on. --------------------------- "Jack! you gotta see this, Sony troops are going to execute some of our men on National television!" Matthews darted his head to the soldier when he heard this, but didn't say a word. "Put it on..." --------------------------- "Attention Microsoft! as you have realized, your precious city of Old Natal has fallen into our hands, and 6 of your best stand before me today, they will all die by our hand if you do not surrender, and move your troops out of New Natal, you can call us at 711 when you agree to surrender, if not, these will be the first to die in the battle. We will start the executions in one minute, good day." Mercuy, you have to do something, and fast. When the time is right. Half a minute passed but there was no ring, but then, that was all that could be heard. "Ah, changed your mind did we?" "No, go to hell, kill off as many prisoners as you want, I have enough troops to go around." "Hmmm, interesting, well Microsoft, your barbaric president has told me to kill off these troops, I really wish it didn't have to be this way, Kill the first one." The Sony soldier standing over the first prisoner readied his rifle and shot him square in the head. Well, 1 down, 5 to go "Change your mind yet Jack?" Wait a minute... I know that voice, it's that guy! Ched! The echo was heard of a rifle shooting yet another prisoner. MERCUY! DO SOMETHING! The cocking of the next rifle attacked Mercuy's ear. YOUR GOING TO DIE! Another shot invaded his senses DO IT! DO IT NOW! Mercuy slammed his elbow against the soldier standing over him, and knocked the gun out of his hands, the others had no idea what happened yet, and it gave time for Mercuy to grab his neck with the handcuffs, and block the now incoming shots. The others followed, and escaped from the execution troops, Chief had broken through his handcuffs and was now firing at the remaining soldiers, one tryed to fire at Mercuy, but hit his human shield instead, and not needing of it, he smashed him into the other soldier, and they both collapsed to the ground, then Chief swiftly finished them off. "Good to see you guys again, Chief, Frank, NATALIE!" Mercuy looked over to his friend in pink to see 3 bullet holes, right through her suit. "Ugh... this is going to ruin my whole day..." "Don't worry Natalie, we're going to get you out of here, Frank!, you and me dress up in these Sony uniforms and take thier IDs, we'll find a truck and bring it back." "Please hurry... I can't stay like this all day..." ((tl,dr: Ched tries to execute Mercuy, Chief, Natalie, and frank, plus 3 other soldiers on National TV, but Mercuy and Chief fight back while Natalie is wounded and Frank and Mercuy disguise as Sony troops and try to find an escape method.))

| GDN: So, where are we heading? B3: I tought that you knew where we were heading...? GDN: Well, since you are driving the boat, I... Zeta: LOOK OUT!!! B3: Wha... The boat hit a small rock and flew 50 meters ahead. It landed abruptly on the water. GDN: Woah, that was... Everyone alright? Zim: Yeah, we're fi... WATCH OUT!!! GDN: Not again... They crashed into a snowy island. B3 flew into a rock wall ahead. B3: Ow, my head... Everyone ok? Zim: I think so... Ragnarok: Where are we? They all look around. They are at the bottom of a large cliff. GDN: I bet two coins that we should climb this thing... Zeta: Well, then give me your two coins because there's no way I'm climbing this cliff! GDN: But... Zeta: No, no, i'm staying there! GDN: Fine... GDN begins to climb the cliff. He moves slowly, always testing the support points with his feet before. He is about 100 meters high now. The whole cliff is 700 meters high. GDN: Look, I'm almost there! Zim: Sure, sure... *giggle* GDN keeps climbing. He reaches 300 meters. B3: GDN? Are you okay? GDN: I'm fine! I can... Suddenly, the rocks below him fall and GDN loses his support. Zim: GDN!!! GDN: Aargh... I'm fine, I'm fine! GDN regains support and continues climbing. The others sit on the ground and wait. Ragnarok: Shouldn't we begin climbing too? Zeta gives him a bad look. Ragnarok: Fine... GDN is now at 600 meters. GDN: Almost... There... B3: GDN??? GDN: WHAT??? B3: DON'T FALL!!! GDN: Thanks for the advice, my life is now much easier! GDN is about to reach the top. As he tries to get up onto the ground above, his hands begin to lose grip. GDN: No, not now, I'm almost there... GDN manages to reach the top. He lies on the ground and regains his breath. Then he rolls to the side and looks down. GDN: Now it's your turn! Zeta: Oh yeah... GDN: Wait, I think that I found something. GDN gets up and looks at what's in front of him. GDN: You may want to see what's up there! GDN finds a long rope and ties one end onto a small broken pillar. He then throws the other end to his friends. GDN: Climb! Everyone climbs the rope and reaches the top. They look ahead and see something that makes them impressed. A large old temple in ruins. Ragnarok: Woah... This is so cool!!! GDN: Indeed it is. And you know what? I recognize these simbols... B3: Really? What are them? GDN: They mean that... Zim: ...that this is the location of the legendary console! GDN: Wait, how did you knew? Zim: I... I studied that in history class. Zeta: Alright, but what that means? GDN: This place is related to the first console ever created. The thing that started it all. And... Ragnarok: And I suppose that it is a very powerful thing. GDN: It is. So, let's go! Zeta: Where? GDN: Inside... Explore... ((summary: The group crash onto a snowy island. After a long climb, they find a temple on the top of a cliff. GDN and Zim believe that the temple is related to the "legendary console", the first console ever created and that carries a lot of power within)) | 2010-12-03 01:53:00 Author: gdn001 Posts: 5891 |
| As the five of them trudge through the snow towards the temple. Zim stops. "But who's going to have it? The oh-so-legendary console? We can't both have it. Sony and Nintendo are two different things." The group seems to avert their attention from the issue, looking down at their feet or in the other direction. "But...Neither of us can deny that Microsoft is virtually unstoppable right now. Every attempt we've tried has failed. Maybe...If we both..." Zim stops mid-sentence as she reaches the door of the temple. The rest of the group stop abruptly behind her, looking up in amazement. The building seems to be made of a thick, black-tinted marble. Every inch of the surface is covered in blue runes, but they're dark and faint. Zeta approaches the door and examines it, trying to figure out what kind of locking mechanism it's equipped with, but it's just a flat block of stone. A peculiar design is carved into it - A circle in the middle with various circuit-like extensions branching off of it, eventually connecting with the other runes on the outer walls of the temple. "Well, now what? There doesn't seem to be a way in." Ragnarok shrugs. Blue steps out from the back of the group and peers at the temple, deep in thought. His eyes follow the faint blue runes all the way to the center of the symbol on the door. "Stand back." Zeta, GDN, Ragnarok and Zim step away from the door as told, the four of them looking confused. Blue plants his feet firmly into the snow and holds up both his hands, releasing a burst of electricity towards the strange circular symbol. As the energy hits it, the runes running all over the temple begin to glow a vibrant blue, no longer looking dull and lifeless. The ground begins to shake as the large door rolls to the side to allow access into the temple. Blue beams smugly and waltzes up to the opening. "Well, are you coming or not?" Zeta follows Blue without hesitation, Ragnarok tailing behind. GDN prepares his AK47 and Zim pulls out the two halves of her broken cane, wielding them like daggers in each hand. The colossal round door begins to rumble, then slides shut behind them. Blue seems to be the only one unaffected by the eerie feeling in the temple, still managing to remain cheery and positive. "Well I suppose there's no turning back now, eh?" He summons a ball of electricity in his right hand to illuminate the interior of the narrow hallway. ((tl;dr - The group enters the temple.)) | 2010-12-03 03:03:00 Author: TheZimInvader Posts: 3149 |

| ((rseah is a veteran which means he can join without permissions but he should still notify jack)) Matthews quickly turned the TV off, Jacks phone beeped as it received a message.* It read Nintendo base ours... W00T* "Who Authorised that?!" Matthews panicked Just then the Atari Spiders arrived in New Natal, They scuttled to the new building and waited outside. Matthews greeted them suspiciously.* "Who is your Master?" Matthews demanded "ARCHETYPE 53HA73" The Robot blared whilst it projected a true hologram of Kernel, It scanned Matthews "COMPONENT MATCH"* "Go and guard the Perimeter, Activate Electrical and Heat sensors" Matthews commanded "Activate Driver Protocol, Subjugate Queen Program" Upon hearing the command the robots spider back hissed and folded up revealing a very basic chair. "Sir!" A scientist had ran up to him, "We've managed to extract the Adam Sea Slug from Emily without killing her, we've began the cloning process, and we've managed to extract the component gene splices and inputted them into a bath production," He held out a single blue syringe "It's a Concentrated Eve serum" "Well done, Go and Give Emily every gene tonic but no Plasmids." Matthews replied patting the scientist on the back before heading back inside. | 2010-12-03 06:45:00 Author: Kern Posts: 5078 |

| The group walks throught the temple's corridors. There are statues at every side of the passage. Zeta: I don't know what's with the freaky statues... GDN: They're here to scare the intruders away. Zeta: Well, it is working... They continue their way, until Ragnarok steps on a button on the ground and a loud stone mechanism sound can be heard. Ragnarok: Ooops... GDN: This can't be good... B3 lost control of his eletric ball for a second, leaving everyone in the dark. They heard strange noises. B3 created another ball and held it in front of his head. One of the statue's eyes were right in front of him, staring at him with a bad look. B3: Oh no... Everyone screamed and began to run to the exit. Four statues chased them. GDN fired his gun at them while running, but they weren't affected by the bullets. GDN: Great, great... There were two ways in front of them. Ragnarok, B3 and Zeta took the right way while Zim and GDN took the left. The doors behind them immediatelly closed, trapping the statues on the first room. ------------------------------- GDN: Ok, this should hold them... Zim: Yeah, but... Where are the others? GDN: I think that they took the other way... Zim: Oh, great! They walked towards the next room. It was filled with blue circuits like the ones at the entrance. There was an altar at the middle of the room, and many stone blocks around sculpted like ghosts. There was also a place in the altar shaped like a ghost. Zim: I think that we are supposed to place one of these ghosts on the altar... GDN: Yeah, but which one? There were a white one, a light blue, a dark blue, a red and a green one. Zim: I pick the dark blue one. GDN: Ok, let's see what this does... As GDN places it in the altar, eletricity bolts start to come from the walls, eletrocuting them both. They scream in pain. Zim: AAAGHH!!! TAKE IT OUT!!! TAKE IT OUT!!! GDN fights the eletricity and removes the block from the altar. The eletricity stops, and they lie on the ground to regain their breath. GDN: You alright? Zim: My heart almost stopped and my whole body is in pain, but yes... GDN gets up and picks the light blue ghost. GDN: Ok, let's try this one... As GDN places it on the altar, and backs away. The room gets cold quickly. Cold air comes from some openings in the wall. Zim: G-GDN... I-I think that t-this isn't the right b-block... GDN: Me t-too... Must t-take it out... GDN walks slowly towards the altar and removes the block. The temperature slowly gets back to normal. Zim is hugging herself, shaking. Zim: N-now it's my turn. Zim places the red ghost in place. After doing that, the temperature in the room begins to rise. GDN: Well, looks like you found the key for the heating sistem... Fire starts to come from the walls. GDN: Or not... The fire gets stronger and nearer them. Zim quickly removes the block. Zim: Phew, that was close... At least it defrosted us... GDN: Yeah, but I think that I lost my eyebrows. Zim: We don't have eyebrows... GDN: Whatever... Now it's my turn. I choose the green one! Zim: Let's hope that an alien doesn't come into this room and kills us... GDN places the green ghost in place. A green poison starts to come from the walls. Zim: GDN... *cough* I don't think that you made the right choice... *cough* GDN: I know... *cough* GDN crawls to the altar and removes the ghost. The poison stops coming, but there is still too much in the room. GDN collapses to the ground. Zim: GDN! *cough* Zim crawls towards the altar and picks up the white ghost. She uses her remaining strenght to get up and place the last piece on the altar. The door opens, letting the poison out. The two are lying on the ground, panting. GDN looks at Zim. GDN: That was close, heh? Zim: It was... Why did we choose the right piece last? The two get up and walk towards the door. Their bodies are now a mix of pain, cold, hot and weak. GDN: We still need to find the others... Let's hope they didn't ran into trouble... Zim: ...like us... ((Summary: They are attacked by statues, and manage to escape them, but are spliten up. GDN and Zim walk into a room where they get eletrocuted, frozen, burned and poisoned before they find the way out.)) | 2010-12-03 09:23:00 Author: gdn001 Posts: 5891 |
| "It's locked. Well, not locked, but there it's closed and there isn't a handle, so..." Zim pushes on the flat stone door, but it doesn't budge. GDN looks around the room, but there doesn't seem to be another way out. He glances his left and notices a faint square outline on the wall, close to the floor. "Hey, look at this..." He crouches next to it and sees that it's a block of stone protruding from the wall. Upon pushing it, it shifts out of side, revealing a small, narrow passage, just big enough to be able to crawl through. "I think I found our way out." GDN calls Zim over, and she looks at the entryway skeptically. "And what makes you think spikes won't come out of the floor while we're in there, or the walls will close in on us, or it'll collapse, or - " "Do you have a better idea?" Zim looks around the room and rolls her eyes. "Fine." GDN gets down on his stomach and uses his elbows to inch himself along the small, cramped passage, Zim following behind. | 2010-12-03 09:36:00 Author: TheZimInvader Posts: 3149 |
| GDN crawls throught the small passage, Zim following righ behind. Zim: This better lead somewhere, or I'll... GDN: No worries, I can see light ahead! They both crawl to the end of the passage. When GDN reaches the end, he gets impressed. GDN: Zim, you must see that! Zim: What? GDN jumps out of the passage. Zim follows him. Then they both look around. A large, tropical valley, with many old golden buildings around. It looked like paradise. GDN: If the console exists, it will be there for sure! They were at the top of a cliff, and there were apparently no way down, except for a ladder on the edge. GDN begins his way down. Zim: You sure this is a good idea? I can count 5 different types of fungi on that ladder! GDN: It holds! Zim: I'm used to believe that everyhting you say that it's alright turning wrong, but what the hell... Zim begins her way down. As they go down the tall ladder, they look around. There are many temples, including a large one in the middle. The temple is located in an island at the bottom of the valley. There is a waterfall next to them that pours water into the "O" shaped river. A giant, tall bridge connects the city to the island where the temple is. GDN: I'm pretty sure that the console will be in that temple. They hear a ripping noise. Zim looks up. The ladder is ripping apart! Zim: Great, I knew that this would happen! The ladder rips apart and the two fall into a deep lake below, sinking 10 meters. GDN opens his eyes to see Zim struggling to get to the surface in front of him. He begins to swim towards her, but she looks at him with a scared look and points behind him. GDN glances at what are 5 giant piranha fish behind him. They attack him. GDN grabs his weapon and fires at them, but it is hard to shoot underwater. He uses the gun to knock the piranhas back, and they retreat. GDN swims to Zim and pulls her to the surface. GDN: AGH! Are you okay? Zim: I am... But this trip isn't helping me on my fear of water... Wait, what's that noise? They look ahead of them. A waterfall is right in front of them, pulling them. GDN: Oh, god... Zim looks at some trees next to the waterfall. Zim: GDN, swim to those trees! GDN gets near the trees. Right before they are about to fall down, they grab the trees' branches and hold tightly. They make their way to the ground. Zim: Finally, dry land! GDN: Ok, now what about we head to that temple? ((Summary: GDN and Zim reach a lost tropical city; they have to fight piranhas and almost fall down a waterfall, but are ok)) | 2010-12-03 10:02:00 Author: gdn001 Posts: 5891 |
| Zeta collapsed on the ground, coughing the soot from her lungs. 'That was one heck of a landslide.' B3 said between coughs. The tunnel had caved in while they were running, destroying the statues, but nearly them as well. 'Where are GDN and Zim?' Ragnarok said, looking round in fear. 'We must of been split up...' Zeta muttered, trying not to look at the pile of rubble. Of course they are not dead, they can take care of themselves... she thought. They were in a stone corridor, lit with flaming torches set in brackets on the walls. B3 hesitated a moment, glancing at the ceiling, 'We ought to get out of here, the roof may be still unstable.' Zeta nodded, following B3 down the corridor after Ragnarok. After a few minutes of silent walking, still shaken by the events, they came to an opening. 'Holy...' B3 murmured, looking around. Zeta stared, they were in a huge circular room, lit by one shaft of light sent down from a hole in the ceiling far above them. She and Ragnarok followed cautiously across into the centre of the floor, looking in awe at the size of the walls towering above them. Suddenly there was a rumble beneath their feet, Zeta looked down, the floor was moving. ((tr,d: They are trapped by a landslide, and find themselves in a huge hall. The floor begins to shift, about to reveal something (trap/puzzle/etc)...)) | 2010-12-03 10:24:00 Author: PygmyOwl Posts: 1316 |

| Zim wrings out her cap, then shakes the water out of her boots. GDN looks towards the temple in the distance, sitting atop a small rounded hill and surrounded by foliage and greenery. Zim stands beside him and and glances around apprehensively. "I have the strangest feeling about this place...As if it's just an illusion or a trick. I mean, think about it...There's no way all of this could fit in one building. It didn't look that big from the outside." GDN waves his hand dismissively and shakes his head, skeptical of the theory. "You crazy? Of course it's real, it's right in front of our eyes. Now we need to get to that temple." In front of the two of them is a hanging wooden bridge, with an abyss of swirling mist looming below it. Zim looks at GDN skeptically. "I am not going to cross that." GDN scratches his head and glances at the bridge. He turns back to Zim and attempts to say something reassuring. "Do you see any other way across? Look, it's perfectly fine...I'll go first to prove it to you." He carefully steps onto the bridge. It sways and begins to creak, but appears to be capable of holding his weight. GDN pretends to casually walk across it, then reaches the other side wiping his forehead in relief. "Your turn."

| Zim: Fine, fine, I don't have nothing else to do anyway... Zim begins to walk slowly on the bridge. It begins to shake. She has to stop and hold onto the ropes for a second. Zim: Who-oah! She keeps walking and reaches the other side. GDN: See? No problems this time! Zim: I actually can't believe that... Suddenly, the ground below them starts to shake. The area where they are standing detaches from the rest of the hill and begins to slide down. GDN jumps and grabs a ledge. GDN: Come on, grab my hand! Zim jumps and grabs GDN's hand right before the piece of ground falls to the river below. GDN is hanging from the ledge with one hand, and the other is hanging Zim. GDN: Fine, what I do now? Think, think... GDN begins to lose his grip. GDN: Oh no... Think faster! GDN swings his arm and gives Zim momentum to grab the ledge and climb up. As he's about to climb up too, the ledge breaks. GDN: Oh NOOO... Zim grabs his hand at the right moment. Zim: Guess we're even, heh? GDN: Ok, now to get into the temple... ((Summary: GDN and Zim get to the temple.))

| GDN and Zim enter the large stone door. Inside the temple, there are many torches with a blue fire coming from them. They walk throught a corridor and into a large room with a circle on the middle. GDN: Let's check out that circle! Zim: Why? GDN: I don't know... They get to the circle and step on it. The outlines begin to glow blue. GDN: Whoa... Zim: Hey, I think that I found something... Zim pulls a switch, and the circle in the ground begins to spin. ----------------------------- Meanwhile... Zeta: This spinning floor is making me dizzy! B3: Just hang on, we will find and exit! Blue lights start to come out of the floor. Sparks cross the three and they are teleported. ----------------------------- Back to GDN and Zim... GDN: What did you do??? The circle begins to emit sparks and a blue sphere appears on its centre. Zim: GDN, GET OUTTA HERE!!! GDN jumps out of the circle right before a blue explosion goes off. Zeta, B3 and Ragnarok appear on the circle. Ragnarok: Arms, check. Legs, check. I'm fine! Zeta: Good to see you two are ok... Did you ran into any trouble? GDN - Zim: No, no, what makes you think that? B3: Well, so, what do we have here? GDN: The possible location of the console. It is in this room... Zeta:Are you sure? I don't see it. GDN: Well, there aren't any other doors or passages, at least no that we can see... ((Summary: B3, Zeta and Ragnarok regroup with Zim and GDN, and they are in the temple looking for the artifact or a secret passage)) ((Last post.

| ((My turn then? k.)) Mercuy and Frank ran through the halls of the Sony base, trying to avoid all contact, but luckily, they didn't think there would be a security breach inside the building. After 10 minutes of running around, they found the exit, 2 guards were standing in front of a troop transport, and a parking lot in front. "Chief, how you holding up?" "She's okay, not getting any better though." "Alright, we found a vehicle, we'll be back in a minute." "good, see you then" The radio shut off with a click, and Frank and Mercuy moved in closer to the vehicle, and took cover behind it. "Frank, take the one on the right, I've got the left, on my go.." Mercuy and Frank executed the soldiers, but at a great cost. "Patrol! get down!" A four man patrol had been cruising by just after the shots had been made, the men had stopped to investigate, and the 2 jumped in the back of the truck. "Chief, make your way to the parking lot, there's a four man patrol and we can't take them ourselves, make the first left, then the 4th right, and out down the hall to the left, try not to get spotted." "on my way." Mercuy could hear Chief helping Natalie up just before the radio was shut off. "Frank, keep your pistol ready, they could search back here any minute" Frank acted accordingly, and Mercuy readied his friend the DMR. The footsteps were getting closer, but nothing came into view, "Wait for it..." 2 of the three soldiers appearing out of the shadows, but didn't notice them. heh, stupid Sony troops. Without telling his counterpart, Mercuy shot 3 of them, letting Frank catch on and shoot the last. "You'd think they would've tightened security..." | 2010-12-04 05:20:00 Author: Merc Posts: 2135 |
| The five of them spread out across the room, searching for any clues that indicate an exit or passageway. "You know," Zim thinks aloud, "I have the strangest feeling that this is all a trap, where cliche temple obstacles and overused plot devices are used to mess with anyone that dares to enter the temple uninvited..." "I think we should be more focused on the task at hand..." GDN looks at Zim skeptically and brushes off the theory as the group begins to investigate. Blue glances at the floor, but there are no indentations or protruding shapes - the ground is flat and seamless. Zeta investigates a wall covered in designs and scrolls, unable to make heads or tails of it. GDN studies the ceiling carefully, but finds nothing strange about it at all. Ragnarok peruses around the room, examining anything suspicious. Several minutes of searching brings no evidence. Zim is on the other end of the circular room, analyzing a certain part of the wall containing a script of runes on it's surface. "Guys..." The rest of the group looks towards her questioningly. "It says here that there's a destined person to possess the console...And in order to choose that person, a set of trials will - " Zim is interrupted as the ground begins to shake and a loud rumbling noise is heard. The circular ceiling begins to shift, each round shape within it rotating opposite directions. A tall, marble pillar emerges from the middle of it and positions itself in the very center of the room. Several blocks of marble extend from the walls, attaching to the pillar in the middle and conveniently separating each of the five of them. Zim looks all around her, but she's surrounded by four thick walls, and the room is dead silent. She hears a strange noise behind her, and a block of marble in the wall shifts out of view to reveal a small passageway. Zim reluctantly ducks through it and enters another room, immediately looking on in disbelief. "...a set of trials will be brought upon anyone in the temple - one of which will force them to face their greatest fears." | 2010-12-04 05:53:00 Author: TheZimInvader Posts: 3149 |
| ((You calling our incredibly devious obstacles cliche?! D: )) Zeta span round in surprise, 'GDN, Ragnarok, Zim?! B3?!' She could hear no answer from beyond the marble pillar. She took a run at the wall, reaching for the top. She grabbed at the air, it was too high. She looked around for some niche or crack, then she saw the door. Cautiously she walked through, ready to back out at any second. The light was dim in the small room she entered, lined with featureless slabs of rock. She glanced round, hoping desperately to see an exit, but the walls were as blank as ever. With a clang the door behind her slammed shut, making her almost yell in panic. Idiot. She thought, surely she had seen enough movies to expect something like that. A rumble of machinery echoed around her cell, Zeta resigned herself to the fact she was trapped. Let the trials begin. She thought, ignoring the twinge of nervousness building inside her. ((tr,d: Zeta finds herself trapped as well, and is about to begin her trial.)) | 2010-12-04 09:28:00 Author: PygmyOwl Posts: 1316 |

| GDN: Zim? B3? Zeta? Damm! GDN knocks on the stone wall, but gets no answer. A small passage opens in the circular wall. GDN: Oh, well... Ok then... GDN crawls throught the small passage and finds himself in a long corridor. He gets up and begins to walk. As he goes throught the passage, he hears a faint screaming noise. GDN: What was that??? He keeps walking, now with more fear. He reaches for his weapon, but notices that it's gone. GDN: Great... All that I needed! He keeps walking. The corridor seems endless. The screaming noises are getting louder. GDN is getting scared. He looks around him as he walks. He then stops. The path ahead of him is covered by a dark fog. GDN can hear someone breathing. GDN: W-who's there??? Show yourself!!! He hears steps coming towards him. He slowly walks beckwards. The thing gets out of the fog, revealing itself. GDN: WHAT THE #&@*??? In front of GDN there's nothing more that a zombified MS soldier. GDN retreats, but there are more behind him, trapping him. To make things worse, more zombies begin to dig throught the stone walls on both sides. GDN finds himself surrounded. GDN: Oh no, no, no... ((Summary: GDN gets in a corridor and is trapped by zombies on all sides)) ((I think that now everybody can control its own story)) | 2010-12-04 10:22:00 Author: gdn001 Posts: 5891 |
| Zeta twisted round, trying to see what was happening. The rumbling continued but nothing appeared to be attacking her, yet. Then she realised it, the walls seemed closer. She stopped, staring in horror at the sides of the room, they were approaching, scraping across the floor, making the room ever smaller. Panic welled up inside her, she had always had a phobia of small spaces, the thought of being dying like this was a living nightmare. But it wasn't that simple, Zeta looked down to see a circular opening in floor, just big enough for her to slip through. Suspicious of such an obvious escape, Zeta hesitated. An hole appeared above her head, shining light down into the room. She blinked in surprise, two exits? What? I thought temples had more imagination that this... She muttered, still painfully conscious of the approaching walls around her. Then the whispering started. | 2010-12-04 10:50:00 Author: PygmyOwl Posts: 1316 |
| Matthews looked out at the large factor floor beneath him, Conveyors clicked as the vials were filled with Gene Tonics and Plasmids, The ADAM parasite had been cloned and injected into every willing Microsoft Solider, They each were imbued with Telepathy and Incinerate, to give them an Edge in combat. Emily, who was sat on his soldiers patted his head as she wanted to get down. Matthews put her down and followed the little girl as she ran towards the door, It hissed open and they both ran through it, into the Lab. The Door hissed and closed as they exited the lab. It was a Genetic Vitals screen, it would only open for a high ranking Microsoft Official whos vitals were greater than Unconscious. Out in the Lobby the 2 Other Leaders of Microsoft were discussing something; "I think its time we struck back!" Jack Argued "We have a big enough army and our resources are more than adequate" "Yes Jack" Elizabeth calmly replied "but you have to think of the negatives, We have Children here and it would only escalate into something like last time" Matthews smirked and walked away holding Emily's hand he entered the lift and plugged in his keycard, They Descended to a secret basement level. Matthews let go of Emily as he beheld his creations, In one corner was a deactivated spider which Tarquin had been examining, In the centre of the room was a large thrust engine that he had retrieved from a crashed UFO. Standing against the wall were his robot suits and on a deep pool of water was his scuba bike and a microsubmarine. Up on the wall were his improved rebreathers and a Turret. Matthews opened the thrust engine and began examining it, Number each part and taking a picture of it. Setting it out so he could rebuild it quite easily. | 2010-12-04 11:18:00 Author: Kern Posts: 5078 |
| GDN looks around, scared. Zombies coming from the front, behind, left, right... He then looks at the ceilling. There is a small hatch in it. GDN jumps and climbs it, reaching another corridor. GDN: Haha! Not so tough now, zombies? The zombies begin to climb the hatch. GDN: Uh-oh, I wasn't expecting that... He runs to the end of the corridor. There is a wooden box there. GDN tries to open it, but it is locked. He looks behind and sees the zombies creeping towards him. GDN looks again at the box, and sees a small hole of the size of a coin in it. GDN: Great, I knew that I should have brought some change! He searches for something that could fit in the hole. He then glances at his dogtag. GDN takes it out and inserts it in the hole. The box opens and a weird weapon (http://faqsmedia.ign.com/faqs/image/article/113/1134829/thundergun.jpg)comes out of it floating. GDN takes it and adjusts it in his arms. He then turns around and points it at the zombies. GDN: Let's see what this is capable of... GDN fires the gun, and a large burst of wind throws all the zombies away. GDN: Whoa! I want one of these when I get back home! He runs to the other end of the corridor, firing the weapon at any zombie that dares to get in his way. He uses the gun to smash the other end of the corridor. GDN then gets in some kind of laboratory. GDN: Wait, this can't be right... I thought that I was at an old temple? He hears a familiar voice. GDN follows it and sees Zim locked in a cage, hanging over a pit of acid. Strangely, Zim is emmiting static like a radio transmission. Zim: GDN, help me! GDN: Zim! Weren't you at the stone room? How did you get there? Zim: GDN, help me! GDN knows that something's not right. Her voice seems to be recorded. But, before he can think about it, the cage begins to go down into the acid. Zim: GDN, help me! GDN doesn't want to risk it. He climbs some machines and jumps on the cage. GDN: Hang on, Zim! He sees a small opening in the lock, like the one in the box. Weirdly, his dogtag is still with him. He uses it in the lock, and the door opens. Zim jumps out of the cage into the ground. Zim: Thank you, GDN! Zim walks away like nothing happened. GDN is about to jump too, but the chain holding the cage breaks and he falls in the acid. GDN tries to get out, but the acid quickly consumes his body. GDN: Zim!!! Help me!!! Zim keeps walking away, saying "Thank you, GDN!" repeatedly. GDN's head sinks into the acid. ---------------------------- GDN wakes up in another room, this time a white tiled room. He looks around. His body is intact. There is no exit from the room. GDN still has the wind gun. He fires it at the ceilling, and the tiles fly away, revealing a blank background. GDN fires more rounds, and the result is the same. GDN: Where am I? GDN looks above him. When he looks back to his hands, he sees that the gun is lost. He looks forward and sees Zim again. She's standing there, with a neutral look. She isn't moving. GDN walks to her and asks: GDN: Zim? Is that you? What are you doing here? Zim quickly draws her cane, the same one she left in Rapture, and impales GDN with it. GDN: AAAAGH!!! Zim... What the... Zim removes the bloody cane from him, making him scream in pain. Her look is still neutral. She turns around and walks away, repeating: "Thank you, GDN!". GDN holds his stomach and looks at all the blood. He closes his eyes. ---------------------------- Suddenly, GDN is back at another stone room. His wounds are fully healed. He looks throught a hole in the wall and says: GDN: You gotta be kidding me... He sees the corridor he found the wind gun before. But, no zombie body or wooden crate is there. GDN gets back to the room he was in at the beggining. The small passage that opened at the start closes, and he's back to the start. ((Summary: GDN fights the zombies with a wind gun, and finds a laboratory, where Zim(?) is hanging over a pit of acid. After saving her, GDN falls in the acid and wakes up in another room, where Zim(?) "kills" him with her cane. He wakes up back at the beginning)) | 2010-12-04 12:00:00 Author: gdn001 Posts: 5891 |

| Zim finds herself in an empty, dim room, darkness extending from every corner. The only light seems to be coming from above. It's eerily quiet, each breath creating an endless echo. Behind her, she suddenly hears a strange small scratching noise - The sound escalates, gradually getting louder and louder. Zim backs up as a gargantuan spider comes into view. She takes a few more steps backwards before breaking into a run, the monster beginning to give chase. After what seemed like hours, but was really only a minute or two, Zim stops abruptly. "No...No more running. It's just an illusion...All of this is just an illusion..." Zim pulls out the two halves of her cane and grips them firmly, facing the monster head on as it gets closer and closer, shaking the ground with it's colossal footsteps. Just as it gets close enough, she raises her cane and slashes right through it. As it disappears in a shroud of smoke and shadows, the floor vanishes as well, and Zim begins to fall into the neverending darkness. When she opens her eyes, she sees only white walls around her, and seems to be in a room. Zim looks to her left to find the hooded figure she had seen so many times before - Only there are twelve of them standing behind the one in the front. She immediately gets up and lunges towards one with her cane, but he phases out and appears behind her. It's all...an illusion...nothing more... "An illusion?" One of them begins to speak. "Why, we're anything but that. Although, I can't say we actually exist..." Zim quickly turns around to find [Data]Zim standing behind her, looking terribly angry, with her cane in hand. Zim backs up as she begins to walk closer, speaking in a passive-aggressive tone of voice. "I risk my neck for you, on several occasions...And what do you do to repay me? You run off and leave me to deal with the Organization myself. I'm nothing but data. I don't have the capacity for feelings. I don't mean a thing to anyone. But you know what I do have the capacity for?" [Data]Zim raises her cane. "Murder." Everything goes white, and Zim finds herself in the middle of a warground. The sky is red and everything is in flames. She looks around to see hundreds of brave soldiers falling at the hands of Microsoft, gunshots and explosions all across the landscape. The Microsoft soldiers aren't using guns or weapons, but are instead shooting electrical charges from their hands. Zim turns around to see GDN, holding his AK47 and shooting up at a colossal aircraft in the sky - As she's about to run towards him, a bolt of electricity hits GDN right in the chest, and he falls to the ground. Before she can react, the scene shifts to the SONY base that had been destroyed. Zim is in the hallway that she had passed through so many times before. Behind her she hears footsteps, and she turns to see GDN holding his pistol - Time seems to slow down as a gunshot sounds, echoing throughout the hallway. Zim opens her eyes to find herself in the first room again, but this time the walls are visible, revealing the black marble walls that are covered in runes. A few minutes of silence, and then the sound of a waterfall - The room begins to fill with water. "Great...I mean really, how did I not expect that?" | 2010-12-04 22:41:00 Author: TheZimInvader Posts: 3149 |
| GDN searches the room for another exit. He then hears someone approaching him from behind. He turns around and sees another zombie, but this one is double his size and it is in a late decomposing state, his flesh is visible… And rotten. GDN: What the hell??? I thought that I already killed you all! The zombie spews a green substance at GDN. He dodges it and it falls on the ground, corrupting it. GDN jumps into the hole in the ground and lands in the middle of a road. He looks around. It’s night, and the only building in sight is a gas station. GDN runs to it. There’s a car parking by the gas pumps. A man comes out from it. GDN recognizes the man, but he isn’t sure of who he is. He looks into the car, and gets surprised. He sees himself, when he was still 4 years old. GDN: What??? This isn’t possible… Wait, if he’s me, that means… GDN runs to the gas station’s shop. He sees the man inside there, paying for the gas. GDN fully recognizes him. It’s his dead father. GDN: Dad!!! Dad, it’s me!!! His dad can’t hear him. GDN tries to touch him, but his hands pass through him, like if he was a ghost. GDN glances outside the glass door, and sees a man wearing a mask approaching the shop. GDN: No, no, it’s him! Dad, get outta here!!! His dad still can’t hear him. The masked man enters the shop and points his gun at the cashier. Robber: Pass me the money!!! Cashier: Ok, ok, chill out man… GDN’s dad approaches the cashier with a bottle of water in his hand. As he glances forwards, he sees the robber pointing the gun at the cashier, who is filling a bag with money. The robber points his gun at GDN’s dad. Robber: You too!!! Gimme your wallet! GDN’s dad: Please, mister… My wife’s dead and I have a son to take care of… Please… We don’t have much money… The robber gets angrier. He approaches GDN’s dad. GDN tries to stop him, but he can’t. Robber: Listen, I don’t care about your #*&@%#&* problems! But if you want, I can help you to end them. The robber fires his gun at GDN’s dad. GDN: NO!!! The robber gets the money bag and runs away. GDN tries to stop him, but still no effect. He runs back to his dad, who is fallen on the ground, bleeding. GDN: Dad! Dad! I’m sorry I couldn’t save you… Please forgive me… The kid GDN runs out of the car into the shop, and gets horrified as he sees his dad on the ground. Kid GDN: Daddy!!! Daddy!!! What happened??? GDN’s dad: GDN… Sorry, but daddy’s time has reached… I’m sorry… Kid GDN: Daddy, no! GDN’s dad passes away. Kid GDN hugs his body. Then the two GDNs say: GDNs: Rest in peace daddy… GDN opens his eyes. He is back at the stone room. GDN: GLAD NOW??? GLAD YOU MADE ME REMEMBER THE WORST EXPERIENCE OF MY LIFE??? GDN begins to punch the stone wall with his bare hands. He punches them repeatedly, while shouting: GDN: WHOEVER IS PLAYING WITH ME, SHOW YOURSELF!!! GDN begins to break the stone wall. Light comes out of it. GDN: COME ON!!! ARE YOU AFRAID??? GDN’s fist goes through the stone wall. He takes a distance, then charges towards the wall, breaking it. Right to the other side of the wall is the giant cliff that him and Zim crossed through a bridge before. GDN can’t stop, but he grabs a ledge and climbs back. GDN: Whew... Now, what the hell was that? And where are the others? | 2010-12-04 23:21:00 Author: gdn001 Posts: 5891 |
| "You'd think they would've tightened security" "yeah, but what are you gunna do." Mercuy and Frank hopped out of the truck to meet Chief and Natalie just coming through the doors, with Chief supporting Natalie on his shoudlers. "Alright, you two get in the back and close it off, we'll get in the front to convince them we're Sony." "Sound's like a plan." "ooh, Mercuy, can we stop somewhere for food? I haven't eaten in like a day." "No! we have to get out of the city" "C'moooonnnnn" "If we see a convience store, maybe. That is if Sony isn't hunting us down." "Yay!" "I would object, but, what's the point" Natalie cuts in. Mercuy and Frank got into the cab of the troop transport, and Chief and Natalie in the back. "Frank, do you know how to hotwire a car?" "No, but this truck has a start engine button" "*sigh* it doesn't work without a key..."

| The others followed, and escaped from the execution troops, Chief had broken through his handcuffs and was now firing at the remaining soldiers. The bullet phased through Ched as if he wasn't there to begin with. Chief was in too much of a hurry to realize how little of an effect his gun had on him and rushed out the doorway along with the others. Ched stood there, just watching what was left of the hostages escape past his grasp. He didn't care much of their escape, as they weren't going to travel anywhere far with the pink one still injured like she was. No matter though, his job here was done. All he had to do now was watch as the two conflicting consoles waged war against each other to the death. A portal was summoned behind him as he slowly stepped back into it, fading away in the darkness. Meanwhile, somewhere on the outskirts of the battlefield, Ched was still recovering from what he thought was a hallucination. Apparently, a man, nearly indentical to him in everyway possible, had interrupted Ched in the midst of his battle with a Microsofter. Then he had proceeded to knock both of them unconscious and dragged the Microsofter through some sort of.. portal-like dimension.. He shook his head, nothing made sense, but he still couldn't shake off the feeling that something was wrong here. Ched picked himself off of the ground and dusted himself off, shrugging off the feeling and slid the knife back into it's holster. His black canvas bag caught the corner of his eye, not too far from where he was standing. How did this get all the way over here? The bag was torn open, the remants, mainly ammunition, were scattered all over the ground. His gun was missing too. Probably stolen by that guy from earlier.. He slung the bag back over his good shoulder, trying to making use of what he had. Ched had hopefully planned to travel back somewhere near the battlefield where Helgan support was avaliable.. and food, his stomach was in dire need of some nutrition. And armed only with a knife, a canvas bag full of ammunition, his battle trained mind, and the clothes on his back, he began his journey once again. ((tl;dr: [DATA]Ched had failed to execute the remaining members of Microsoft and returned to his superiors as Ched takes off once again by himself, armed only with a knife and a bag of ammunition, which was practically worthless to him without a gun.)) | 2010-12-05 05:54:00 Author: Cheddars Posts: 447 |

| ((ah, good to see you following up Ched, I will continue my story now.)) "Mercuy, want anything?" "No Frank, just hurry up, it gets a little suspicious having a Sony troop transport parked in front of a convience store." "Alright, sure you don't want anything?" "Y'know, on second thought, get me some doritos." "okay, just paying for this now then." "Good, hurry up." Mercuy looked around the truck, but luckily no one was in sight, not even regular traffic, most civilians were still hiding, thinking the war raged on, however the store clerks, didn't really care. a moment later, Frank walked out of the store, and got into the truck. "Here's your doritos" "What did you get?" "Sandwich and a drumstick." "right" Mercuy put the bag to the side, and started the truck, and Frank darted his head back and forth before opening his sandwich and taking a bite. "You'd think we would've been noticed." "Don't jinx it..." ((@ Ched, I don't think that Old Natal is a warzone anymore, just a few straglers and forces exitting the city, although your character might not know that.))

| The water continues to rise, and is at knee-height now, but Zim stands where she is, her eyes shut tight. It's just an illusion...Just an illusion... She opens her eyes, but the water is still rising. "Well fine! Whatever, I can take care of this...It's not real, after all..." Zim looks up at the stone walls surrounding her and notices that there isn't a ceiling, but the walls instead end about a hundred yards up. She pulls out the two halves of her cane and wades through the now-waist-height water towards one. She brings the hooked half down on the stone, managing to make an indentation deep enough to get a grip on it, then repeats it with the other half of the cane, gradually making her way up the wall as if rock-climbing. As she finally reaches the top of the wall, Zim pulls herself onto the top of it and looks below her to suddenly find herself at the top of a tall, steep rock, in the jungle-like area she and GDN had trekked through before - over near the bridge, she sees GDN himself. Zim gets a grip on the side of the rock with her cane and begins to descend. As she's about to call out to GDN, she abruptly stops. The words she had repeated countless times being to echo in her mind. All...an illusion... As she's distracted for just a minute, a portion of the rock begins to give way, causing her to lose her grip and fall a hundred feet below. All an illusion... Zim is convinced that in a few seconds everything will shift into another terrifying scenario again...But it doesn't. | 2010-12-05 07:20:00 Author: TheZimInvader Posts: 3149 |
| Tarquin paced anxiously, he had yet to hear from the Microsoft soldiers who were about to be executed, he picked up his phone and emailed JsPot, a mercenary in the area,* "JsPot" the email wrote "I have some troops currently positioned in Old Natal who cannot escape, I have wired 4,500 dollars to your account, I want you to escort them as far as New Canaan, where an envoy will be waiting for them.

| GDN walks around the outskirts of the temple. He can?t remove what he just saw from his head. He sits on the ground, confused. But, before he can think about it, he hears a rock breaking noise. He looks up to see Zim falling from the stone wall. GDN: Zim! Wait, you must be another illusion? Zim continues falling. Her eyes are closed, and she keeps whispering to herself: Zim: It's all an illusion? GDN keeps looking at her. The fall will surely kill her. GDN was sure that she was an illusion, but he still couldn?t see Zim in danger like this? He had to do something. GDN ran to where Zim was about to hit the ground and shouted: GDN: Zim! Hang on, I?ll catch you! Zim opens her eyes. Zim: GDN? GDN catches Zim before she hits the ground. He then puts Zim on the ground. GDN: Now tell me, are you real? Zim: You tell me! Are you real? Zim draws her two pieces of the broken cane and holds a defensive stance. GDN notices that she is the real one. GDN: Zim! It's really you! Listen, I?m real too! Zim: Yeah? Prove it! GDN: But how? Zim: That?s your issue! GDN: Oh, well, ok? Listen, I know that you joined my army weeks ago, we went on a secret mission, I manufactured the power gloves which drove me insane, we went to a Sony base which was attacked, you got your energy stolen by Kernel, we went to my hometown, then to Old Natal, I went to space, then we visited Rapture to cure your YLOD, and now we?re here with the Nintendo people! Zim: You?re right? But what proves that these memories really happened to you? GDN: Please, Zim! Zim: You are going to need more to prove yourself! GDN: I will need? GDN takes a deep breath and thinks for a second. Then, he answers: GDN: Zim? I love you! Zim: WHAT??? GDN: Is that proof enough that I?m real? Zim: Well, it is, but? GDN: Don?t worry then, because it's not for real! Zim: No??? GDN: No, I just knew that you would? Zim slaps GDN. Zim: You little fool! At least it's my fool? You?re the real GDN? GDN: Hehe, glad that you believe me now? Ouch? ((Summary: GDN rescues Zim, and proves that he's real to her by pretending to be in love with her)) | 2010-12-05 09:31:00 Author: gdn001 Posts: 5891 |
| Zim glares at GDN and crosses her arms. As he's about to say something, she sees him lose his footing and fall off the bridge. Zim shakes her head and rubs her eyes to see GDN still standing there, staring at her with a confused look on his face. "Uh...You okay?" Zim shakes her head again and looks around apprehensively. "Err...Yeah...I'm fine." GDN scratches his head and continues with what he was going to say. "So what happened to you? Where are the others?" "I don't know, all of us were separated, so I..." Zim trails off as she sees an alligator appear right behind GDN and bite his head off. She quickly rubs her eyes again to see GDN standing in front of her, expecting her to continue. "UHHH...So I have no idea where they are...So uhh...maybe we should look for them?" GDN looks away and takes a moment to think. "But we're all after the legendary console...We wouldn't have any competition if we find them after we find it." Zim takes a step back, appalled by his suggestion. "What!? So we're just going to leave them to be eaten by alligators and fall off a bridge and - Er, I mean, leave them to die?! No way I'm going to let that happen...If you want that console, then fine, but you're on your own. I'm going to look for the others Are you coming with me or going after that console?" | 2010-12-05 09:58:00 Author: TheZimInvader Posts: 3149 |
| ((Sorry for skiving off a bit, had LBPing to do)) Zeta looked up, someone was talking, it was coming from the hole above her. She listened hard, then the recognition hit her. It was her parents voices, sounding as though from far away. 'Mum? Dad?' She yelled, forgetting the approaching walls for a moment. She strained her ears to hear better, but she couldn't seem to catch the words. Zeta jumped up, about to make her escape through the hole, then stopped with herself with a jolt. That was way to obvious. And I nearly fell for it... She thought, dropping back to the floor. In horror she saw the hole below her was bubbling with water. Zeta backed off, what if it was a dead end, what it she couldn't hold her breath long enough and got trapped? She glanced up again, she didn't want to drown, compressed into a tiny dark hole and no way out... The walls were so close now the scraped her elbows. Decide now! She urged herself in fear. Zeta took a deep breath, and dived into the hole at her feet. The dark water consumed her, but she tried to ignore the suppressing tunnel and kept swimming. Panic rose in her as the tunnel kept decending. Keep calm, then you can save air. She thought, but it was hopeless, she could feel her heart beating faster and faster. A short burst of hope hit her when the tunnel took a U-turn upwards. She kicked off and sped for the surface, but already her lungs were burning for oxygen. The light grew closer, Zeta knew she had to breath soon or drown. She burst through the surface, sending spray spattering across the stony floor of the temple. She clasped the edge of the tunnel, gasping and spluttering. Hauling herself out she lay there for a second, feeling cold seep through her clothes. Gotta keep moving. She thought, standing up quickly, sending drips flying across the room. Then she saw another corridor, a dim light at the end. Zeta walked towards it, readying her weapon. She was determined not to be so shaken this time. ((tr,d: Zeta escapes the first challenge and moves on.)) | 2010-12-05 10:09:00 Author: PygmyOwl Posts: 1316 |
| GDN: I... I... Zim: Huh? GDN: Fine, I come with you... But I still think that it would be a good oportunity to get the console! They head back in the temple. They reach the room where they god separated, but it is closed. GDN: How bad, we can't pass, I guess that we should look for the console then... Zim: No, we are getting in! GDN: But how? Zim: Using your powers! GDN: What??? Zim, I remember telling you that I can't control them directly... Zim: GDN, maybe if you concentrate... GDN: Concentrate... Hmm... Zim: Think on what makes your powers activate... GDN: Think... GDN imagines himself and Zim, at a laboratory corridor. They are running from MS troopers. They reach a locked door. Zim takes cover by some crates and yells: "GDN, do something!!!". GDN concentrates and sends a sonic blast throught the door. When he opens his eyes again, the stone door is destroyed. Zim: Thank you, GDN! GDN suddenly has a flashback. He remembers the illusion of Zim killing him and going away repeating: "Thank you, GDN!". Zim: GDN, are you okay? GDN: I am... Don't worry about me... They are now in the room. The walls that separated them are still there. GDN tries to destroy them, but he can't summon his powers now. GDN: Agh... Sorry Zim, I can't... Zim: Ok, GDN, we can climb these... GDN: I think that YOU can...

| ((Don't worry - We won't actually get anywhere until everyone's finished their trials)) Zim uses her cane like a pickaxe, as she did before, to climb the wall. She reaches the top, balancing on the narrow surface, and looks around for any sign of the others, but the rooms separated by the walls are empty. She turns back and looks down towards GDN. "Hey, there isn't any - " Zim stops as she sees one of the walls collapse on top of GDN, crushing him flat. "There isn't any what?" She hears his voice and snaps out of it, seeing him standing there and calling up to her. "Err, there isn't anyone here..." "Maybe we should look somewhere else, then...Orrrr go search for the console?" "No." GDN pouts and crosses his arms as Zim prepares to descend.

| ((Alright, I think I will catch up with you and GDN)) Zeta entered the next chamber, looking around tensely for the next challenge. In one wall was a large opening lined with metal bars, as she watched they slid away into the ground, leaving only blackness. Zeta's nerves rose, something was stirring in the shadows. She backed off, hand ready by her belt. A hulking creature half dragged, half walked, into the light, Zeta almost reeled in disgust. Its skin was peeling from its flesh and its limbs were scorched and swollen. She almost felt a twinge of pity as its drooping bloodshot eyes stared at her. You can't be real... She thought logically, it could not survive like this. It rose up onto its hind legs with a roar, sensing prey. It swiped a long clawing arm at her, scraping the air inches from her face. Zeta activated the sensor bar and vanished from view. The creature gave a growl of frustration as it span round looking for its meal. Zeta grabbed a blue shell* and hurled it upwards. The wings activated and it zoomed towards the creature's head. It attempted to swat it like a fly, but missed. The shell found its target and exploded onto its decaying skull. It gave another roar of anger, careering around the enclosed space, nearly trampling Zeta, who desperately weaved around the floor, attempting to avoid its clumsy lunges. Still convinced it could smell its prey the monster stopped, waving its deformed face in the air, searching for her. Zeta backed off, ready to sprint away in a moment, then she saw her exit. A low door lead out, but it was on the other side of the room, the monster was blocking her way. Zeta crouched low, and made a run for it, preferring speed over stealth. The creature heard her footsteps and stamped downwards at the sound, sending vibrations through the ground, nearly sending her flying. She skidded through the door, breathing a sigh of relief. Zeta leaned against a wall, catching her breath. Suddenly she heard talking from above her. She recognised the voices. 'Zim! GDN!' She shouted joyfully. At last, its over. She scanned the wall, it looked climbable. She took a run up and leapt upward, grabbing the edge. 'Zeta? Have you seen B3 and Ragnarok?' GDN called. Zeta's heart sank. 'They're missing?' She said, jumping down onto their side. Zim nodded. Zeta looked round, fear gripping her again. 'Oh no...' *The Automated Blue Shell was based on the original koopa's unique homing abilities used as a weapon in the bygone era of Nintendo. But the managers came to a decision that if they were to keep their family-friendly status, they had to ban their use and replace them with robotic versions. Because sticking compact explosives onto an animals back then throwing it at a heavily armoured enemy is apparently, illegal...

| Zeta: What are we going to do? Zim: You know what? I have an idea... But it's a little crazy. GDN: Go on... Zim: We climb the temple by outside and break through the roof... Zeta: ...so we can find them! Great idea! They head outside. The temple is like a big pyramid, so climbing won't be difficult. They begin their way up. As they climb, Zeta looks around, and sees the whole city (http://splitscreencoop.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/Uncharted2_Shambala01.jpg). She is impressed. Zeta: Why didn't you show me this view earlier? It's so beautiful... GDN: In fact... I wouldn't care about living here... They reach the top. GDN and Zim regain their strenght, while Zeta looks around, still impressed. Zim: So, anyway, we need to break the roof now. GDN: Stand back ladies. I got this one. GDN picks a frag grenade and sets it off on the roof, exploding it and opening a large hole. The three take a look inside. They can see the room where they separated from above. Zeta: Well, that will do... Zim: Thank you, GDN! GDN feels the pain in his stomach again. He kneels and looks at the ground, breathing deeply. He looks forward, and sees Zim holding a bloody cane. Zim: What's wrong GDN? Are you alright? GDN: Please... Don't say that again... Zim: What? GDN looks at her again. She is with her two halves of the wooden cane again. GDN: Nothing... Zim: I know when you are lying! Something's wrong with you! GDN: Something's wrong with you too... Zim: What? GDN: You are acting like you are seeing ghosts... Zeta: Uh, sorry, can someone fill me in? Zim: I'd rather not talk about that... Now, lets get inside, shall we? GDN: Ok, but how? Zeta: We could use a rope... ((Summary: The three climb to the top of the temple to take a look from above; GDN and Zim notice that there's something wrong with each other)) | 2010-12-05 16:15:00 Author: gdn001 Posts: 5891 |

| Zeta looked from one to the other, but she felt it best not to intrude. Something strange was going on here. 'Anyone got a rope?' 'Uh, nope.' GDN said. 'We should find a substitute.' Zeta said, standing up. 'Hey, over here!' Zim grinned, tearing a vine from a wall of the temple. It was about an inch thick, and looked strong enough. They tied it round a pillar, Zeta gave a tug to check it would hold. 'Lets go then.' She didn't like heading straight back into the place she had just escaped, but her worries for Ragnarok and B3 were getting worse. They each slipped down the vine to find themselves in another chamber of the temple. It was much lighter and airier than the ones they had been in before, almost peaceful. 'This can't be it...' GDN said quietly, an age old silence suppressing their words. 'We should head downwards.' Zim said, waving towards a cracked staircase leading away into the shadows. Zeta nodded, 'We need light though. We can't risk falling into another trap.' Or even just falling... She thought, remembering painfully that B3 wasn't with them again. GDN grabbed a torch from one of the brackets of the walls, descending down the steps. They followed the flickering light, Zeta wondered what they would find. ((tr,d: They head downwards into the Temple to find the others. I don't know about continuing, I don't want to god-mod B3 or Ragnarok. Depends how the story goes really.)) | 2010-12-05 17:16:00 Author: PygmyOwl Posts: 1316 |
| ((We're not going to actually find them until they post.)) The three of them head down the staircase, the torch illuminating the walls. A few minutes of walking seemed like hours... "Ugh! These stairs are neverending..." Zeta looks at GDN. "I think you may be right...Haven't we passed that stone before?" She pointed at a particular block of stone in the wall with a large crack through it. The three of them continue walking, only a bit faster this time - Sure enough, that same stone appears in the wall. Zim tries to counter the theory. "There are plenty of rocks in these walls, and I'm sure they've aged a lot, so of course a lot of them are - " She stops mid-sentence as the ground shakes beneath her feet. The ceiling in front of her collapses right on top of GDN. She shakes her head and looks down at the floor, then sees GDN and Zeta further down the staircase, looking back and expecting her to follow. "Are you sure you're alright? I know something's wrong." "Let's...uh, just get back to the situation at hand..." Zim rubs her eyes tiredly and catches up to the two of them. Zeta glances around, frustrated. "There it is again! That same rock...Something isn't right here..." | 2010-12-05 17:33:00 Author: TheZimInvader Posts: 3149 |
| ((I quite like how you're delaying it, keeps my on the edge of my seat!)) "So, how far are we from the city gates now?" "Probably about a kilometer, Natalie, okay back there?" "I'll live." "good, cuz we're almost out of here" Mercuy drove the last stretch of road and came to city gates, surrounded by Sony troops. "Play it cool guys, don't say anything suspicious" A Sony officer then walked up to the driver's side of the transport, crossed his arms, and stared right at Mercuy, but he didn't delay. "ID please" "Sure..." Mercuy searched his pockets, the dashboard, nothing Dam, must have dropped it somewhere... "There's your ID" Mercuy proceeded to flip the officer off, at which point Frank leaned out of his seat and unloaded his pistol into him. "GO GO GO!" Mercuy slammed on the breaks, smashing through the gate and speeding out of the city, the horns and gunfire of Sony vehicles and soldiers mobilizing can be heard in the distance. "High 5 Frank!..." | 2010-12-05 17:58:00 Author: Merc Posts: 2135 |

| After what seemed like hours of trudging through the now barren battlefield of which was Old Natal, just desperately searching for any signs of Sony troops, or human existence to say the least, he began to tire. After all, he had gone days without any food and began to suffer heavily from malnutrition. Grasshoppers couldn't satisfy his hunger for long, and he didn't want it to anyway. The taste got a little bland after the first few nights or so. Whoever said they tasted like chicken obviously needs to work on their cooking. He chuckled quietly to himself, proud of the joke he had made. He spat out something he had thought to be a twig stuck in between his teeth. Closer examination had proven otherwise, it was one of the legs. He lurched his head forward and threw up, then wiped his mouth with the sleeve of his shirt. Oh great, now your even more malnourished than before. Good job soldier. The wind whistled where there used to be fires of gunshots ringing in the air. The battlefield was practically deserted, not a living soul to be seen for miles around. Well, of course there were dead ones, lots of them. Both Sony and Microsoft troops lay motionless and frigid on the quiet ground of Old Natal. Many lives were lost, all lost for the same purpose. To deem their console superior among the others. He bowed his head in respect, and it was during those few minutes of silence that Ched had suddenly come to a realization. It's been days, at least six, since he had seen anyone who hadn't tried to kill him at first sight. He sat down on the edge of a demolished helicopter to ponder over the idea some more. If the battlefield ended up like this, just imagine what else could have changed as well. Ched was struck with a grief stricken state of horror. My god.. Zim, GDN, Raganok... ((tl;dr: Ched reaches the battlefield, surprised to find it deserted. Then realizes that his friends might be in danger.)) | 2010-12-05 19:31:00 Author: Cheddars Posts: 447 |

| When the walls came down, Blue wasted no time in heading on. It wasn't that he wasn't worried about Zeta, GDN, or the others, but rather that he figured standing around would do him no good. He lit an extra-bright ball of electricity and headed into the door in front of him. The soldier wasn't scared. "I've seen so much in my life and pulled through," Blue thought, "nothing could hurt me now. Nothing could be worse than what I've been through." At last the tunnel came to an end. Blue found himself in a large circular room, lined by ornate walls. A long path led to a circular platform in the center, and below this area was what seemed like and endless pit. The most striking feature, though, was that half of the room was literally unseen. Right at the halfway point of the platform, a wall of thick black smoke obscured the rest. Blue took a step forward when he heard a girl's voice coming from the blackness. "Stephen?" Blue was startled. The last person he had known to call him Stephen was... was... it couldn't be. But all the same, a girl approximately Blue's age stepped from the shadows. She wore skater clothes similar to Blue's and carried a dagger at her side. She looked at him with emotionless, hollow eyes. Her face was blank. "Rebecca!" It didn't even occur to Blue how impossible it was, that a dead girl was talking to him again. He was too intoxicated. Blue ran right for her, eager to hold her in his arms once more. But the closer he got, the further the figure stepped back into the darkness. As Blue was feet away, Rebecca disappeared completely into the smog. Blue desperately dived into it. He wouldn't lose her again. But when Blue could see once more, he wasn't in the temple anymore. He was back in a deep forest, where various tents were set up. The thieves hideout, from back in the old days. "So," Blue thought, a bead of sweat running down his face, "this is my test. I will save her this time." He heard Rebecca yell from yards away and started running. Everything was hauntingly real, as if it happening all over again. Blue's heart pounded harder than it had in a long time. Just as he remembered that tragic night, he found Rebecca fighting two Microsoft soldiers. She managed to cut one down, a dagger strike to the back of the neck, but the second soldier grabbed her by the throat. Other soldiers that had been searching now gathered around to watch the results. The only thing different from the scene was Blue. Before, he had been fighting soldiers of his own, then stopped when his girlfriend was caught. Now, Blue hid behind a tree, waiting to make his move. He could make things right this time...

| Blue reached out from behind a tree, trying to hit the soldiers with a bolt, but he could barely manage a few sparks. Blue was too nervous, too shaken to control his powers. He was immediately seen, of course. "Hey!" one soldier yelled, and three of the group came running to him. Blue quickly dodged the first shot and stabbed one soldier in the stomach. He got behind one soldier and grabbed his neck, filling his body with electricity. The third soldier was a bit more of a problem, he had his own blade, and Blue was quickly caught in a parry with him. Blue quickly realized how hopeless it was - even if he killed this one, there were many, many more around him. He couldn't save her. He had failed her again. Blue released himself from the sword fight and blinked tears away, falling to the ground... but when he opened his eyes, everyone was gone. He was alone in the forest. "So this is how it is? You're still as weak as you were then?" Blue turned around and saw - himself? A creature made of shadows was walking to him. He was identical to Blue and shared his voice. Where blue sparks might fall from Blue's hands, red sparks fell from the shadow's. Blue was shaken up even more by the appearance of this creature. Once again, the Nintendo elite attempted to fire electricity, but it failed. Shadow Blue laughed. "So scared you can't even fight back... where's that tough soldier you pretend to be now? He doesn't exist, does he?" As the impostor spoke, Blue heard an undertone in his voice. He spoke the same way Blue did, but there was an undercurrent in it, the sound of an evil roar. Blue rose and ran to Shadow Blue, his blade pointed toward him, ready to stab the creature in the stomach. But his clone just grinned, firing a red blast of electricity, knocking Blue back to the ground. "It makes no sense," Blue thought, "how can electricity hurt me? I'm immune to it!" But his shadow just laughed. "You're only immune to electricity weaker than your own... and it seems you've met your match." The creature reached Blue and pinned him below a knee, similar to what Blue had done to Jspot not too long ago. He pressed his blade to Blue's throat, drawing a thin scratch with the blade's tip. "You've failed once again. You couldn't save her, you couldn't stop me, and now you've failed your friends." The shadow leaned in and whispered, grinning like a madman. "Once you're gone, I'll take over your body. I'll be free from this place, and I'll hunt your friends down one by one... with their dying breath, they'll wonder how you could betray them. Too bad you'll be dead... preferably, I'd have you watch." The shadow smiled. "Goodbye, weakling." He plunged his blade down, its point heading to Blue's heart... ((So I herd u liek cliffhangers.)) Blue, however, had changed. As the impostor described his plans, Blue's fear had dissipated. He was angry. This being had created an illusion, forcing him to relive the worst moment in his life, and now he was threatening his friends. As Shadow Blue prepared to struck, Blue's voice rang out, strong and powerful. "No." Blue's eyes filled with electricity, turning them into bright blue orbs. Blue's hands crackled with the most power they had since he first had the power... the day Rebecca was killed. When the Microsoft soldiers killed her, Blue had felt something flow through him, and before he fully understood, anger came over him. He had killed the Microsoft soldiers as they started to leave, all of them perishing in a single shockwave. Now, fueled by a rage he hadn't felt since then, Blue threw his shadow off. He rose and charged toward his shadow, firing bolt after bolt. Now, his shadow was the one with weaker powers. Blue reached his shadow and stabbed him, over and over, but the impostor laughed and laughed. Finally, Blue had silenced him for good, even as the laugh echoed in his head. The defeated Shadow Blue dissipated into dust. As Blue rose again, he saw the wall of Black smoke appear again. The soldier walked into it, as a white light filled his vision... Blue woke again on the circular platform, the way forward now open to him. He sat on the platform's edge a while, thinking about what had happened. After a few minutes, he headed on, hoping to find his friends. ((My trial is over, feel free to have me meet up with the gang now.

| ((ok, now only Ragnarok needs to finish and we're good. I already sent him a message remembering him)) GDN: Well, how is that even possible? We are constantly going down, I don't remember going up somewhere... Zim: That is what they want you to think... They stop for a while to rest. Zim looks upwards. She hears a noise. After taking a peek upstairs, she sees a big rock rolling down the stairs. Zim: "Heh... Another illusion..." The ground begins to shake and the noise gets louder. GDN and Zeta stand up. Zeta: What is that??? GDN looks at the rock coming towards them. GDN: RUN!!! Zim: What? Is it real? GDN grabs Zim's hand and pulls her downstairs, following Zeta who is ahead of them. They keep running for 5 minutes, but the stair is endless and the rock keeps rolling. Zeta: Guys... Another plan...? This one isn't working... As GDN keeps running, he notices a pattern. Every moment in a while, there is a big rock on the wall that seems out of place. GDN: I have another plan... Stay close to me... As they reach the next rock, GDN pushes it, revealing a secret path. GDN sees that the rock is too close, and pushes the two girls inside it. The rock passes over GDN. Zim: NO!!! Zeta: What is it, Zim? Zim: GDN... GDN: What are you talking about? I'm here! Zim glances at her right, and is startled as she sees GDN sitting there. GDN: Zim? Zim: I tought that... Well... GDN: That...? Zim: That you died... GDN: Oh, Zim, how? Zim: I don't know... I'm seeing you die constantly after we got out of the temple... GDN: Don't worry, Zim, I can take care of myself... Zim hugs GDN, relieved. He still doesn't understand what's going on. Zim: It's good to have your back. Thank you, GDN! Zim's voice echoes in GDN's head. The phrase "thank you, GDN" repeates in GDN's head, shifting from Zim's voice to a demoniac voice. His vision gets bloody red, and he sees Zim with a devious look, Then feels a stab in the back. Zim hid a blade on her sleeve, to stab him when he wasn't expecting. Zim: What's wrong, GDN? GDN gets back to reality, and sees Zim still there, with an innocent look. He shakes his head and cleans his eyes. Zim: You are obviously having illusions too... What are they? GDN: What...? Zim: Your illusions. What happens in them? GDN: I... I don't want to talk about this... Zim: Oh, come on, I want to know what's happening with you... GDN: My illusions are way too gruesome for you... Zim: Ahh... Ok then, when you want to you will tell me! GDN gets up and looks at Zim, worried. He doesn't want to tell her about his visions of him getting killed... By his best friend. Zeta: So, are we going to keep going downstairs or shall we explore this new path? They head throught the path. Zeta still has her torch, so lighting is not an issue. They reach a room that splits the way into two. Zeta: Good, now which way? They hear footsteps coming from the path on the left. Out of it comes B3, holding a ball of light. B3: Oh, hello there! Zeta: Blue! Zeta runs to him and hugs him with all her strenght. B3: Arr... You're suffocating me... Zeta: Uups... Sorry! GDN looks at Zim. GDN: Why won't you hug me like that? Zim: I will write that suggestion down... The four reunite at the center of the room and look around. GDN: Well, we won't get back throught our path... It has no end... B3: My path hasn't either... Guess there's only one way now... ((Summary: GDN, Zeta and Zim find a new path, Zim tells GDN her illusions of him getting killed, but GDN is afraid to tell Zim about his illusions.

| Zeta noticed that Blue looked really upset. "What's wrong?" she asked her friend. Blue sighed. "This place. It plays with your mind. It... it took me back. To that day. When I lost Rebecca." Zeta didn't know what to say. She knew of Blue's story, she was the only one he had ever told. She decided to say nothing, and simply put her hand on Blue's shoulder as they walked. It seemed to comfort him a bit, but he still seemed lost in thought. "Zeta... do you think, the past could be changed?" Zeta looked surprised. "What do you mean? No scientist has ever managed time travel." Blue nodded. "Yes. But we're dealing with something more powerful than anything we've seen. If I could go back... but nevermind. It's a crazy idea." The group continued into the passage. | 2010-12-06 14:29:00 Author: Voltergeist Posts: 1702 |

"No, you don't understand," Jack continued, rubbing his temples, "I didn't ask for any of this- really, I didn't!- but Sony's asking for blood... and, my God, I won't stand for it! If I can't negotiate a peaceful resolve with those savages, then war it'll be!" "Have you even tried contacting them about peace talks?" Elizabeth queried, giving Jack a harsh glare, "After all, YOU'RE head honcho of this joint." Jack was about to snap back, but something... happened. Suddenly, a sharp drilling pain carved into his skull, agitating the businessman rightfully so. His face began to grimace, his eyelids shutting tigher. "... Is something the matter?" Elizabeth asked, "You don't look so well..." "I..." Jack mumbled, moving his head from side to side, "I need a breather..." In a desperate attempt for relief, Jack quickly rises from his seat and starts to blindly search for the door. Elizabeth quickly rose as well, seizing Jack by the shoulders. "Sir, what's wrong?!" Elizabeth commanded, "I DEMAND TO KNOW!!" "GO AWAY!!!" Jack roared, hurling Elizabeth to the other side of the room. His right eye flashed an eerie yellow, and his body began to glitch and discolor. Finally, reaching the doors, Jack wildly barges out and warps, his destination uncertain. Elizabeth quickly turned on her communicator and frequenced it to Frank's communicator. "FRANK!!" Elizabeth screamed, startling the photographer, "Jack's gone!! And I think he's contracted YLOD!! FIND HIM!!" --------------------------------- Somewhere, beyond the sea, in the ruined utopia of Rapture, Horatio and his men were hurridly searching about in the old offices of Andrew Ryan. "Where is IT!?" Horatio yelled, frantically pulling out drawyers and tossing papers around, "Where's that damm PLASMID?!" "Object located, sir!" one of his men shouted back, looking on at an old tracking device, "It's directly 80 feet... below... us?" "Ah Christ," Horatio growled, "Andrew sent it down to the middle of a Splicer nest. Arm yourselves, boys... we're heading in face-first." In a matter of seconds, the men huddled around Horatio closely and formed a tight perimeter. Then, stomping only once, Horatio and his men are sent crashing through the floors, falling about 8 stories directly into... a trap. Seems that it's not Splicers they need to worry about... Scrambling around from the sudden drop, one of his men tries standing himself up on a column. Oddly, there wasn't any Splicer to attack- Suddenly, the column moves back and thrusts its drill forward, impaling the officer and grinding his organs to pulp. The others look on as they see their teammate get pureed into a human smoothie by a highly agitated Big Daddy... with more red and yellow lights lighting up in the sheer darkness around them. "BIG DADDIES!!" Horatio hollered, "TAKE COVER!!" | 2010-12-07 01:34:00 Author: Outlaw-Jack Posts: 5757 |

| Zeta leads the group with the torch in her hand, their only source of light in the dark, damp passageway. After a few minutes of walking silently, they reach a fork in the path. "It must be a labyrinth...Great, as if we haven't been through enough already." GDN approaches it and studies each branching direction. "I think we should - " Before he can finish, Zeta's torch suddenly goes out, and the group is surrounded by complete darkness. GDN lets out a long sigh. "Just what we needed...Blue, can you get us some light?" Blue attempts to summon a ball of electricity in his hand to light their way, but for some reason he can't create any more than a few sparks. "I can't...But I think if we feel our way around, we can make it out of here." He waves his arms out blindly and moves forward until he reaches the wall. "Ah - I got it. Okay everyone, follow me." The rest of the group begins to follow the sound of Blue's footsteps, but Zim stops. She starts to feel dizzy and holds her head, looking around, but the only thing visible is darkness. Blinking her eyes several times, she shakes her head and looks back up. Zim suddenly finds herself on the outskirts of a forest, the moon hanging low in the sky. She slowly turns around to see a clearing, a rather small, cozy-looking home sitting in the middle of it, not too far away - upon looking closer, she's struck with shock as she recognizes it as her own. The windows are dark, their shutters drawn. The scene seems eerily familiar. As Zim is trying to collect her thoughts, she hears the back door creak open, then slam shut a second later. On instinct, she jumps behind a nearby batch of shrubs. Peering out from behind her cover, she sees a silhouette silently run from behind the house and towards the surrounding woods. It stops just before entering the shadowy depths of the forest, then looks back over its shoulder. Zim draws a sharp breath as she recognizes the figure, then quickly turns back around, staring at the ground in disbelief. A few seconds pass, but it seems like hours - It gradually gets darker and darker, until Zim finds herself in utter blackness. She reaches out, then feels the stone wall of the passageway she had been standing in just minutes before. | 2010-12-07 03:45:00 Author: TheZimInvader Posts: 3149 |

| ((Okay )) GDN: Zim, what's wrong? Did you have another illusion? Zim: Yeah... But this time it was different... GDN: What... Zeta: Hey guys, look, there's light! The three took a turn and ran to a source of light at the end of the passage, until they got out of the temple. B3: Ohh... I haven't seen outside the temple... It's awesome! Zeta: You must see the view from the top of the temple... GDN: Hello, guys, we are trying to find our way there... They walk through a small dirt passage that leads to the big bridge that connects the temple to the rest of the city. GDN: So, Ragnarok and the console are nowhere to be seen, what about we explore that building? GDN points at a building at the horizon with a giant tree on top of it. Zim is in doubt. Zim: Are you sure? Shouldn't we wait here? GDN: That building has something interesting in it, I can feel it... Zim: Okay... Let's hope that this bridge holds... B3: It's pretty strong, will hold! They cross the bridge without problems. After a bit of walking and climbing, they reach the building. It has a lot of plants surrounding it. It is also surrounded by a deep pool, and there are no bridges or open doors in sight. Zim: Ok, a building surrounded by water, that means we are not welcome, let's get back! GDN: Wait Zim... Look, there's a tunnel under the water! Zim: Ok, if there are two words that shouldn't be in the same sentence, they are "tunnel" and "underwater"! GDN: Well, if you want you can stay outside while we go check it out... Zeta: We? Am I going to risk drowning again? GDN: Again? Zeta: I mean... GDN: Listen, there are no door, only that tunnel. That means that someone is supposed to be able to cross it in time. B3: I don't know, GDN... What if it's a trap? GDN: Fine, fine, I'll go first to show you how it's safe! GDN jumps in the water and dissapears inside the tunnel. 2 minutes pass. GDN appears on the surface again. GDN: Come on guys... It's just 15 meters long... Everyone can do that! Zim: I can't. GDN: Oh yeah, I forgot... Well, in this case, I have a plan... Jump in the water! Zim: What??? GDN: I'll catch you! Zim: Fine... Zim jumps in the water and GDN holds her so she won't sink. The others jump too. Zim: Ok, what now? GDN: You hold onto me and I carry you to the other side. All you have to do is hold your breath! Zim: Are you sure this is going to work? GDN: Trust me. Zim hugs onto GDN. Zeta and B3 go first, GDN goes right after, pulling Zim. Zeta and B3 look behind them and notice that GDN isn't swimming as fast as them. ((Summary: Without finding Ragnarok, they find a way out of the temple and go to another building, where the only way int is by an underwater tunnel.)) | 2010-12-07 09:07:00 Author: gdn001 Posts: 5891 |

| ((Alright, good dawn )) ((EDIT: Just a bit more)) GDN kept swimming, as fast as he could. Zim was counting on him, and he didn’t want to let her drown. But, the more he advanced, the farther the end seemed to be. GDN started to feel tired. B3, Zeta and Zim disappeared. He stopped swimming. A heavy voice told him: You don’t know what you are getting into… Give up now, or you and your friends will suffer! GDN was really tired. He was about to close his eyes. But something waked him up. He felt something shaking his body. Then he got back to reality. Zim was desperately shaking him, shouting bubbles. GDN quickly resumed swimming, with all his strength, while Zim closed her eyes and tried to keep holding her breath. The two reached the surface, gasping for air. B3 and Zeta were already there, waiting. Zeta: Thank god, where were you? Zim looked at GDN. Zim: I thought you said that I could trust you… GDN: I’m really sorry, Zim! I had a hallucination while I was swimming, I swear! Zim: You almost drowned me… GDN: Please, Zim, forgive me! Zim got out of the water and looked at GDN. He looked really sorry for that. | 2010-12-07 11:02:00 Author: gdn001 Posts: 5891 |

"Depends, is there an alternative?" "Uhh, there is an airbase about 35 minutes from here." "Works for me." Mercuy drove the transport the distance along the highway to the airbase, while Frank ate his ice cream. "Mercuy, make a right here, this is the entrance" "k" Mercuy turned into the airbase, to be greeted by gunfire. "we might have forogt to tell them we were in a Sony transport!" "Hurry up, turn you radio on before this thing blows!" "YO, WE ARE MICROSOFT! DON'T SHOOT!" "What's the password?" "kinectimals" "Alright, let them in."

| Jack went stumbling through the remote wilderness of Siberia, his hands clapsed to his head and his eyes shut from the pain. The businessman blindly plows over trees and smashes through rock, desperate to begone of this excruciating agony that was being inflicted from an unknown virus. "GET OUT OF ME!!!" Jack screamed, dropping to his knees and rubbing his temples even harder. Suddenly, a voice shot out: "It's too late for that, Jackie-boy. I tried converting to that supersoldier that touched you earlier but he wasn't, suitable, for my tastes..." "Who are you?" Jack mumbled, his body frozen in fear. "Why, I'm YLOD," the sinister voice replied, "And I now control you. It's not that complicated, really: you called an armistance on that station long ago, I snuck in. You open the servers for public use, I utilize them. And when that Ragnarok chap haxxed into your satellite, well... gave me direct access... to you." "No..." Jack murmured, shaking his head in disbelief, "This can't be... how could I-" "Too late for questions now," YLOD coldly replied, "You're mine, and you'll do exactly what I say if you want to live; I might even leave you once busienss is done... if I feel like it." "I can't... I won't!" Jack called back. His refusal was met by a massive shock, coarsing through his veins and making him cringe in agony. "Fine then," YLOD insisted, "If you won't help me... I'll just kill you now. Besides, I still got Horatio; he listens." With those final words said, the YLOD virus began to take hold of Jack, his eyes turning a complete yellow and his veins pulsing with gold fluid. Jack went sprawling on the ground, fighting the pain and suffering greatly. His body began warping sporatically, appearing in various places around the wilderness, until finally it takes itself out of the area. Jack immediately went unconcious. When he reappeared, Jack was laying unconcious at the steps of the Sony base. ---------- "WATCH THE BIT!!" "GET DOWN!!" "GAAAAHHH!!!" Chaos ensued as the rapidly decreasing group of officers desperately try fending off the disturbed Big Daddies, their firearms (though highly superior) proving no match for the brutes' oversized drills. Of course, this would usually bring some concern to Horatio... but he wasn't in the vacinity. He was already making his way towards his "prize", now just a few feet away. Now 10 feet... now 5... "There it is," Horatio spoke, smiling sinisterly to himself, "I've been waiting 10 years to use this..." Removing a floor tile, the governor pulls out a small, wooden chest, concealed by a 6-digit lock. Ignoring the lock and smashing his fist into the chest, Horatio feels around for his treasure, eventually grasping it in his hand. With a wily look in his eyes, he casually pulls out a dusty tumbdrive, with the name "Jack" engraved on it. Plugging it into himself, a rapid burst of energy flowed through him, his veins and eyes pulsing a vibrant green. Settling back to normal, Horatio looks at his hands, which start to pixellate a little bit. Seeing this, he tests out his new "powers" on a nearby vendor unit, automatically making the machine spew out its contents. Satisfied, he calmly walks away and back to where his men were... provided they were already wiped out, just as he had it planned. A finely permed man, puffing on a cigar, walks up to Horatio and shakes his hand graciously, amongst the various Big Daddies dragging away the dead bodies. "Leaving so soon, Mr. Governor?" the man queried Horatio, smiling at him in all respect. "Nice to see you too," Horatio replied, also smiling, "Mr. Ryan." | 2010-12-07 23:14:00 Author: Outlaw-Jack Posts: 5757 |

| ((there you go)) Zim calms down and regains her breath. Zim: Sorry for that, I?m too nervous? The group then begins to walk towards a big stone door. It has two marks on it. B3: Zim, look, that symbol! Zim: What?s with it? B3: It resembles you cane, doesn?t it? Zim: Now that you mention it? Zim sees a small hole next to the symbol. She picks her wooden cane up and inserts both ends in the hole. The cane falls down the opening and a noise indicates that it hit a surface. Zim: Nice, I lost my cane. Zeta: Not yet, there?s another one! Zeta points at another symbol which resembles GDN?s dog tags. GDN: What??? My dog tags are important to me! Zim: I dropped my cane there! GDN: Yeah, but it was a fake one! B3: GDN, please! Don?t you want to see what?s in there? GDN: Hmmpf? Fine? GDN drops his dog tags into the opening. After doing that, the door opens, revealing a circular room. Half of the room is filled with vines and cracks on the rocks, while the other is filled with more polished, roman-styled decorations. GDN runs to the jungle half and finds a wooden crate there, like the one he saw before when fighting the zombies. He opens it and finds a weapon just like the one he used in the second Console War. GDN: I can?t believe this? It is so intact? It looks like new! GDN throws his AK-47 away and picks up the Commando (http://www.lbpcentral.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=27334&d=1291326373). He analyzes it. ------------------------------------------ Meanwhile, Zim headed to the other half of the room. There was a chest laying there. Zim carefully opens it and finds her old cane, the one she left at Rapture, as good as new. Zim picks it ups and swings it around. Zim: Now that?s a treasure! I so missed this! GDN and Zim reunite at the center of the room and show each other their new weapons. B3: Ok, what?s happening there? The two look at him. B3: Tell me, how did you two knew that you were expected here? GDN: We didn?t. B3: What??? Zim: Yup, it's pretty strange? It looked like they expected us to come? Zeta: Anyway, why didn?t we get a special room like you two? GDN: You expect us to know? Zeta: Well? An altar raises from the center of the room, raising Zim and GDN. From the very center of it comes out a stone pillar with nothing more that the console (http://www.atariage.com/2600/systems/sys_AtariVCSB.jpg)on it. Zim: *gasp* GDN? Is the console? GDN: I see it? Zim: Do we pick it up? What if it is cursed? GDN: Well, I?m going to risk it. GDN slowly picks the console up and lifts it up. GDN: It's fine! I can touch it! The others are relieved. But suddenly, an explosion blasts through the stone wall. Outside the building are Microsoft soldiers pointing their guns at them. Soldier: DROP YOUR WEAPONS AND GIVE US THAT CONSOLE!!! GDN: Damm it! How did they find us? Soldier: We knew that you would be onto something special, so we sent a recon team after you! Zim: Great? Zeta: Any plans? GDN: Zim? Zim: I got it. ------------------------------------------ GDN puts the console on the ground and raises his hands. GDN: Ok, guys, I think that you got us, we are going to? NOW!!! Everyone jumps out of the way and takes cover by the wall. The soldiers begin to fire. Zim: The console! Zim rolls over the console and picks it up, and ends on the other side of the hole in the wall, with GDN. GDN: Nice girl? Now what about we test our new weapons? GDN peeks out and fires the Commando. But there?s something fishy about it. It keeps stable and accurate, even when firing at full speed. It also has a bottomless magazines, meaning that he doesn?t need to reload. GDN: Zim! They?re weakened! Your turn! Zim: Gotcha! Zim runs towards the enemies and jumps, then swings her cane at them. Her cane emits electricity when it hits an enemy, shocking it. Zim: What the? More soldiers fire at Zim, and she blocks the bullets with her cane. GDN takes care of them. GDN: Area clear! B3: Now where we head to? They look at the temple. Lots of MS soldiers are entering it. GDN: Ragnarok?s busted? B3: We?ll have to rescue him later, let?s go! ------------------------------------------ They eventually find a circular structure on the floor, similar to the one that teleported them before. They step on it. Zeta: Ok, how do we make this work? Zim hits the ground with her cane, making it emit sparks and teleport them. ------------------------------------------ They get back at the snowy mountains, on a structure similar to the one in the city, but covered in snow. B3: I could?ve done that! They run towards what looks like a town in the mountains. But, when they get closer, they see that it is a MS armory with a train station on it. GDN: We could get some transport there? Let?s split up! B3: Why? GDN: Four people make more noise than two. Zeta: Okay? GDN: Zim, you come with me! Zim: Alright, alright, I knew that you would pick me, you love me! They split up and get into the base. GDN and Zim approach a garage where the jeeps are located. GDN: Let?s just take one of these and? Suddenly, a soldier comes from behind them, hitting Zim in the neck and making her fall unconscious. GDN tries to retaliate by holding his weapon before he could hit him with it, But another soldier comes and knocks him out. ------------------------------------------ They wake up in a cell. Zim: Ouch? My head? Where are we? GDN: They found us and locked us up. Damm! Zim: Where are our weapons? And the console? GDN: Sshh? GDN takes a peek through the small window and sees the enemies loading stuff onto a train. He sees them giving a crate containing the console and their weapons to a soldier on the train. Soldier: Put this in the safe, this cargo is really valuable! GDN gets back to Zim. GDN: Look, they are loading a train, and our stuff is in it! Zim: Great, now we need to escape this cell! They hear a fight outside. B3 and Zeta come inside the room. B3: I can?t leave you two alone for a second? GDN: Good to see you too, man! B3 opens their cell. Zeta: Quick! They will notice that you escaped! We must get the jeeps and get outta here! GDN: You two go. B3: What? And what about you? GDN: We are getting on that train. Zim: Our stuff is in there. Zeta: Ok? GDN: You two get out. We get in the train, grab our stuff and get out. We can meet somewhere later. B3: Alright! See you, soldier! They run to the garage and get inside the jeeps. Zim and GDN in one, Zeta and B3 in another. B3 drives away from the base while GDN drives towards the train. They attract a lot of attention, so the train goes off. Zim: GDN, they?re escaping! GDN: No, they?re not! GDN drives next to the train. He asks Zim to take the wheel, then searches for a weapon to fire at them, but the soldiers took them away. GDN: Great, this day just keeps getting better? Zim: GDN, we are getting out of road! GDN: Alright? Zim, we are going to have to jump! Zim: What??? GDN jumps onto the train. He climbs on the empty wagon and calls Zim. GDN: Come on, jump! Zim: O-okay? Zim jumps onto the train just before the road ended and the jeep was sent flying into a bunch of rocks, exploding. GDN: There you go, Zim, just like in that game, isn?t it? Some soldiers see them and begin to shoot. They take cover by some crates. Zim: Great? No weapons, what do we do? ((Summary: - GDN and Zim find the console, and also improved versions of their weapons; - The MS forces find them, forcing them to get out without Ragnarok; - They invade a MS armory in the mountains, but get their weapons and the console taken to a train; - Zim and GDN get into the train by jumping on it from a jeep.)) | 2010-12-08 00:25:00 Author: gdn001 Posts: 5891 |
| "Y'know, you're lucky I'm familiar with this scenario." Zim slips out from behind the crate and lowers herself down the side of the train, then tells GDN to duck. The soldiers are confused for a moment, then look over their shoulder. A high-hanging train signal hits the both of them head on, and they're sent flying off the locomotive. As Zim looks towards the front of the train, she sees another train signal up ahead. She climbs inside the train through an open window just as it speeds by. That was close...too close. There are soldiers patrolling the interior of the train car. Fortunately, she quietly approaches the two of them unnoticed, then grabs them both by the collar and tosses them into a small storage closet, breaking the lock and trapping them inside. She calls out to GDN. "Coast is clear, I need your help with this door." GDN pulls himself inside and approaches the rusted door leading to the next train car. The two of them push down on the heavy metal handle with all of their strength, and it slowly creaks open. Several soldiers begin to shoot wildly at GDN and Zim from inside. They both slip behind the train seats opposite to one another for cover. Zim ducks as a missile whizzes right over the seat, the soldier who fired it then reloading the RPG for another shot. That was...another close one... Zim looks over the side of the seat as GDN sees a submachine gun lying on the floor down the isle. He hurriedly picks it up and gets back behind his cover. "Hey, what a stroke of luck, eh? This was just lying here!" He fires at the three soldiers, taking out two of them. As he reloads, the RPG-toting soldier fires another missile, Zim dodging it just in time and moving to GDN's side. He fires another round at the remaining soldier and manages to take him out. GDN stands up and looks around for any other soldiers, but the train car is now empty. "Well, let's keep moving. That cargo was taken to the front of the train." They open the door to the third train car and GDN steps inside. Just as Zim is about to follow, the room lurches sideways. She regains her balance and jumps into the next train car. As GDN helps her to her feet, they see the previous car detach from the rest of the locomotive, tumbling sideways and going up in flames just a second later. "GDN...I don't think all of us were supposed to survive..." GDN looks confused. "...What do you mean by that?" "You were the one that picked up the console, and everything was fine - But in the scripture on the walls, it said the last one standing after all of the trials is the one destined to have it. In the last five minutes, I've just barely avoided death several times, and I don't think any of those were coincidences." | 2010-12-08 01:13:00 Author: TheZimInvader Posts: 3149 |
| Mercuy waited outside the infirmary door, tossing a clip for his pistol in the air, when the door flew open, followed by Natalie in purple and yellow armour, with Chief tailing behind her. "So, what do you think?" "Nice, love the mix of colours." "Heh, yeah I think it's alright too." "Hey, you guys seen Frank?" "He's in the comms room." "No he's not." Almost exactly on cue, Frank turns the corner and starts running down the hallway, with a radio in hand. "GUYS! you gotta hear this!" "What is it Frank?" "seems like Jack was possesed or something, and he dissapeared, possesed or really mad." "I don't think really mad causes people to dissapear." "Well anyways, Elizabeth wants us to try and find out where he went" "Elizabeth?" "One of the heads of Microsoft" "Right." "Well, so anyone have any idea on where he could've gone?" "I still have that tracker on that GDN, maybe he knows something about it." "now that's taking initiative!" Mercuy pulls out his tracker, but sees something odd. "What the-" He takes another look at it to see points going all over the map. "odd, looks like they all go to different places, except 1, which leads to a little island in the Atlantic" "Then that's all we got, lets grab a plane and go."

I'm sorry, I can't post right now - 10:30 on the night before my end-of-course.)) | 2010-12-08 03:26:00 Author: Voltergeist Posts: 1702 |
| ((Nevermind, here's something.)) Blue looked steely as he drove on ahead. But suddenly, he whipped the Jeep around and headed back in the direction of the train. "Wha- what are you doing?!" Zeta screeched. "Are you trying to get us killed!?" Blue's face grew dark. "No," he said, "I'm trying to save someone's life. Time to slow our friends down," Blue said, launching a bolt at the train and breaking off one car from the train. Zeta looked shaken. "Blue...", she started, "it's not right. There's no guarantee that you can change the past, and even if you could, who knows what the consequences are? You change that one detail, and nothing we know today would even exist!" Blue's coldness faded for a second. Though the soldier was only 16, he seemed much, much older. He pulled the vehicle to a stop, from which they watched the train pass by. Blue said nothing for a few long minutes, then sighed. "You're right. Best to let go of the past. Besides, we have a mission to attend to. Let's get the Omega home." Blue smiled tiredly at his friend and turned the vehicle around once more. | 2010-12-08 03:46:00 Author: Voltergeist Posts: 1702 |
| "Zim, I think you're just being paranoid...We should keep moving now." As GDN turns around and heads towards the next train car, Zim sees a plane hanging low in the sky, the Microsoft logo imprinted on its side. "Uh...GDN...I think they called some of their other friends..." He stops and looks behind him outside the window to see the aircraft, two Microsoftians inside it. Zim and GDN jump back as a shower of bullets shatter several windows. "I think we'd better run...!" The two of them hurry to the rusted metal door and push down on the handle, then quickly shut it behind them. The train car shakes as they hear an explosion, the other train car derailing and tumbling off the cliffside. Just a second later, they're surrounded by three soldiers, all holding their weapons up. One of them receives a call on his radio communicator, but Zim can only hear a muffled slur of static. The commander turns off his radio after he hears the message, then signals to the other two. One of them grabs GDN, and the other aims his gun at Zim. She ducks right as he pulls the trigger, then quickly kicks him off his feet. One of the two remaining soldiers begins to fire wildly around the train car, and GDN slips from his grasp amongst the commotion. Zim grabs one of them and hurls him out the window as GDN knocks the commander unconscious. The two of them sprint down the isle, dodging the plane's bullets as they shatter each window behind them. "Why do they seem to be aiming at me?!" They attempt to wrench open the door to the next train car, but the handle won't budge. "It's locked! Great..." Zim quickly glances around and notices the ceiling is held together by rectangular metal plates - Just big enough to use as a shield. She takes the commanders pocket knife and starts to unscrew the bolts holding them. GDN quickly looks out the window as he hears the metallic clank of bullets hitting the roof. "What are you doing?! We don't have time for this!" Zim unscrews the last bolt and takes two of the metal plates down. "We're going to make our way across the roof of this train car to the other one. Use this to shield yourself." She hands one of them to GDN. "Ready?" Zim climbs out the window, one hand holding the shield up and deflecting the next round of bullets. GDN follows, and they both make their way across the top of the train car, towards the opening of the next one. ((We should pro'ly wait for GDN now, unless you want to post less important parts, nothing too major)) | 2010-12-08 04:35:00 Author: TheZimInvader Posts: 3149 |
| Two soldiers came strolling out of the front doors of the Sony base, doing boring partol duties as usual. Talking about the Move, Resistance 3, LittleBigPlanet 2, Twisted Metal and all of that jazz- "Ey, who's that?" An unconcious man appeared on the steps before them, his body slowly being consumed by the YLOD virus. It was barely recognizable. "Yeesh, looks like someone did a hit-n'-run." "I thought we had this vaccinated already?" "Meh. I guess not. Then again, they only rationed out so many..." "Dude, it was an update. For everyone." "Oh yeah... wait a sec. Then why does that guy still have it?" "Dunno, turn 'em over. I wanna get a read on his face." "Ugh. Really?" "Yes, really. C'mon, don't wuss out on me here." "Hmph. Fine." Pinching his nose and pinching the body's suit, the guard carefully turns over the person. Both of their faces froze in fear as Jack's mug layed in front of them. "Holy crap. That's Microsoft's head honcho." "What the?! How did he- ahhh no." "Well, what should we oughta do, Dave?" "I dunno, Mark! Let's... uh... let's take 'em inside." "Ok, BESIDES THAT." "Seriously. We've gotta take 'em in. The least we can do is interrorgate him when he wakes up." "True... feels abit dark." "It's only 1:30." "I know..." "Wait a sec... ah Christ." Above their heads loomed a great eclipse, blocking the sun with its immense gerth. Steam, propellers and wings jutted out of the great monstrosity, and a loud, msaculine voice rang out: "And forth from the ashes comes new BIRTH!! We RISE AGAIN!!" "Ahhh no. It's Columbia!" "Don't just STAND THERE!! CALL IN HIGH ALERT!! WE'VE GOTTA GET JACK INSIDE NOW!!" | 2010-12-08 06:00:00 Author: Outlaw-Jack Posts: 5757 |
| GDN and Zim jump into the next car. They take cover by the door and take a look ahead. The next wagons are open platforms with some crates on them. GDN: This time we won't have much cover... Ready? Zim: When you are. The two break open the door and begin to run through the crates while the plane fires at them. Time seems to slow down as they dodge the bullets while running. Mercuy: Hold your fire! You are going to hit him! Let the snipers take care of this... The plane's side door opens and two snipers aim at them. Mercuy: Remember... Only the girl... Zim and GDN continue running, but a loud shot make them stop. GDN: SNIPER! Zim: Oh no... The sniper keeps aiming at the box, waiting for them to exit cover. Zim: What now? What now? GDN takes a deep breath and holds his submachine gun. He then peeks out and fires at them. Zim: Are you expecting to hit a lucky shot? Sniper: Haha, look, that noob is trying to hit me with a submachine gun! Mercuy: Don't fire at him, we need... Suddenly, a single lucky shot hits the sniper's head, sending blood all over the area and killing him. Mercuy: Damm! One sniper is down! GDN: Great, that caused some commotion, let's move! They resume running and enter another closed wagon. This one has a safe in it. GDN: Well, it's gotta be this. Zim: How are we going to open it? Five soldiers break into the wagon and point their weapon at them. GDN quickly positions himself in front of Zim to protect her. Soldier: Drop your weapon! Mercuy (by radio): Attention, soldiers, the boy is to be spared. The girl is expendable. GDN: What??? Soldier: You heard him! Now get out of the way, we need to take care of your partner... GDN: There's no way I'm letting you do this! I would rather let you kill me and let her live! Soldier: Well, we can't reach and agreement, can we? GDN looks behind the soldiers. There are many gas cylinders. GDN kicks the gun he left on the floor up, picks it up and fires at them, exploding them and killing all the soldiers. The train begins to deestabilize. GDN: Quick, let's run! They begin to run from wagon to wagon, but the train is huge. More soldiers pin them down, but a large exlosion sends the whole train out of the tracks. ---------------------------- GDN wakes up in the middle of the snow, with some scratches on him. He gets up and looks around. There are wagons from the train everywhere, some catching fire. GDN: I got to find Zim and the safe... Before it's to late... ((Summary: GDN and Zim get attacked by the plane, and they crash the train to escape)) | 2010-12-08 09:59:00 Author: gdn001 Posts: 5891 |
| ((Sorry for missing a couple of pages, but you guys sure do post fast. )) Zeta looked ahead, now was not the time for talking. B3 was concentrated grimly on the road, for now where they were they seemed to be safe, the track running through the jungle was deserted. But they still had no idea where they were, or more importantly, who's territory they were on. She wondered where Zim, GDN and Ragnarok were, but was annoyed at herself for not being so tough about a temporary alliance. 'Stop right there!' A harsh voice cried from ahead. In front of them was a towering barbed wire fence, protecting a hulking base surrounded by patrolling troops. On of the guards was pointing a gun in there direction, Microsoft logo showing across his armour. Zeta's groaned inwardly, so much for being on Nintendo land. B3 slammed his foot on the break, skidding to a stop. 'Its them again...' Blue muttered under his breath to Zeta. 'I know...But they don't know who we are yet.' He nodded, the guard was coming towards them still looking hostile. 'For now we wait then.' He said quietly. ((tr,d: B3 and Zeta run into a Microsoft base, still without any idea where they are.)) | 2010-12-08 18:30:00 Author: PygmyOwl Posts: 1316 |
| ((Heheheh. time for me again!)) "Dam, he just destroyed that train..." "Thanks Captain obvious." "Just trying to be helpful." "I'm gunna set her down on the tracks, see what happened down there." Mercuy circled back in the plane, and came in close to the tracks, and landed the plane. "Cover the LZ, I'm going to look for GDN" Mercuy scavenged through the wreckage of the train, mangled bodies were seen where the most damage was done, and it looked like it had been charred to the brim. He has to be around here somewhere... ah, there you are He saw GDN in the corner of his eye, trying to limp towards his fallen partner. "Why hello there GDN" "...." "Seems you've done quite some damage." "What do you want?" "Well, you can just tell me where Jack is, and I'll let you both go." "I have no... idea..." "Wrong answer." Mercuy then, without hesitation, punched GDN straight in the face, and kicked him back into the snow, and then stomped on his head for good measure. ---------------- GDN awoke a minute later, Mercuy now standing over Zim's unconcious body, GDN tried to move but was too beaten up to be able to stand. Mercuy saw that he had awoken, and pulled out the pistol from his hollister, and aimed it right at Zim. "No.....n..o....not her....." Mercuy glanced over to GDN for a second, but then turned back to his weapon, but him arm kept shaking, he remembered his past, and his body refused to pull the trigger, and then slowly walked back towards GDN, then looked down at him, while he tried to look up. "What does she mean to you?" "The world... she means the world..." "Then keep her safe, that's something I couldn't manage, but you clearly didn't got through all this trouble for nothing...." GDN tried to stay up, but he couldn't keep his eyelids open, but the last thing he saw, was Mercuy walking away with a vault in hand... ((tl,dr: Mercuy lands the plane and knocks GDN onto the ground, and was going to kill Zim, but spares her, and walks away with the Console.)) | 2010-12-08 22:08:00 Author: Merc Posts: 2135 |

| GDN tries to get up again, and manages to do so, slowly. He then walks towards Zim's body, almost tripping over in the way. He kneels by her body. GDN: Zim... I'm sorry I let you into this... I'm so sorry... Zim slowly wakes up. Zim: W-what... happened...? GDN: Zim! GDN helps Zim to her feet and they begin to walk out of the crash site. Right in time, because some tanker cars just exploded after that. Zim: GDN... Where is the safe? And our stuff? GDN: Mercuy took it. Zim: What? The fool... GDN: Don't talk like that, Zim... He just spared your life... Maybe he has a heart under that armor... The two sit on the ground for a bit. It's cold, and they are shaking. GDN: We can't stay here for longer... We'll freeze... Zim glances at a cargo car that was carrying snowmobiles. It spilled them on the crash, but they were still usable. Zim: Let's use that! They get onto a snowmobile and GDN starts the engine and speeds up, towards Mercuy's path. -------------------------------- They find a large plane landed on a snowy track, ready to take off. Mercuy is entering it, and the soldiers are loading crates onto it, including the safe. GDN: Zim, you stay here. I almost lost you, and I don't want to risk it again! Zim: But what are you planning to do? GDN: I'm going there to take our stuff back. Zim: No way you are doing this alone! I'm coming! GDN: Zim! Zim: Shhh... Two soldiers pass right in front of them, but the storm is very heavy and they don't see Zim and GDN, that are lying on the snow. GDN: Let's take them out... They run towards them and knock them out. Zim chockes her target to death while GDN takes his knife and stabs him. GDN and Zim arm themselves with one pistol each. GDN: Ok, now we could do this the stealthy way or the loud way... ((Summary: GDN and Zim follow Mercuy and find his plane about to take off, they want to take the safe back)) | 2010-12-09 00:43:00 Author: gdn001 Posts: 5891 |
| ((Sorry Kernel, but I'm just going to ignore that post, that clearly is the 'Easy' way out.)) "Get everything loaded in, and tied down, i'm not losing anything in flight." "Yes sir." "I'm still confused on how, a few days ago, you were a guy sitting on the couch playing games, and now you're a Comanding officer." "Shut it Frank." "This is what I'm talking about." "Let's just get out of here, we still haven't found any sign of Jack, and there are still 3 of them that were with GDN, but we didn't find, let's just hope this Console can help." ((Gunna let Zim finish that, I'm fresh out of ideas.)) | 2010-12-09 02:10:00 Author: Merc Posts: 2135 |
| "I'd rather go for the stealthy way." Zim sees Mercuy disappear from sight as he boards the plane. There are four soldiers, each of them carrying a crate or package to the cargo area of the aircraft. The safe had already been taken inside, but there were still a few suitcases sitting in the snow. "Hey Matt, can you get those for me?" One of the soldiers sighs grumpily and steps out of the plane, trudging through the thick snow towards the remaining luggage. As he bends down to pick up the two large suitcases, Zim steps behind him and knocks him unconscious in one hit. She calls GDN over. The two of them hear a muffled voice from the inside of the plane. "Matt! What's taking you so long, man?!" Zim hurriedly looks around. "GDN! Take that soldier's uniform! The mask is part of it, so they won't be able to recognize you." "Wait what?! We're getting on the plane?! What about you?" Zim thinks for a moment. "I'll...uh..." She picks up the large suitcase and empties it of it's contents. "I think I can fit in here." Zim tries getting into the suitcase as GDN finishes putting on the Microsoft soldier's clothing over his own. "You sure you'll be okay in there? It could be a long flight." "It's a little cramped, but do we really have any other choice?" GDN picks up the heavy luggage and hauls it into the cargo area of the plane. He closes the compartment door and takes his seat in the front as the aircraft takes off. Nobody seems to able to see through his disguise. | 2010-12-09 02:32:00 Author: TheZimInvader Posts: 3149 |
| "So, where we going to now Mercuy?" "Back to New Natal, gotta make sure everyone's still alive, and we have to see if we can find any more clues as to what happened to Jack." "Right" "Well, I'm going to make sure everything is in order, take the wheel for a minute will you?" "Sure." Mercuy then gets out the pilots seat and proceeds into the center of the plane, but doesn't notice anything suspicious. "All the cargo on board?" "Yes sir, all Sony weapons, remaining money, our weapons, a few Sony devices, and the Console." "Don't mind if I go inspect then will ya?" "No sir, go ahead." Mercuy proceeded into the back of the aircraft where the cargo was, the Console vault to the left, an ammo crate and a few cases to the right, but one squirming case, a few twitches occasionally coming from it, with this Mercuy returned to the troops. "Alright, which one of you packed the medium sized case." GDN reluctantly responded, realizing that being quiet would cause more suspicion. "I did sir." "Hmm.. right, and what's your name?" "uuuuuuhhhh..." "wait a second.... I see what's going on here." Mercuy picked GDN right up off his seat, and threw the mask off. "Seems you don't give up GDN, now tell me, did you come on here for a ride out, or that Console?" "That Console is more powerful than you could ever imagine, and I am the destined user." "Is that so? well, why don't you come with me then, Frank, open the cargo doors please." "You got it." Mercuy dragged GDN into the cargo room, and picked up the console and Zim's case along the way. "Take a parachute, you're going to need it." He then tossed a parachute from the wall into GDN's hands, then just looked right at him. "I'm giving you a second chance, don't waste it." All he did then was simply walk out of the room, and lock the door behind him... ((Just so you know, you're above water with no radio, Enjoy!)) ((Also, I'm done for the night, and I won't spare you next time! XD)) | 2010-12-09 04:23:00 Author: Merc Posts: 2135 |
| ((Foiled again! Curses!)) Mercuy kicks open the suitcase and Zim tumbles out of it. She gives GDN a strange look as she stands up. GDN then fastens the parachute to his back. He looks at Mercuy, then back at Zim. "Don't you have another one?" "No." GDN scowls at him, but Zim doesn't seem to react. Mercuy locks the door as he leaves the small room. A second later, the floor below gives way, the cargo doors opening. GDN immediately deploys his parachute as he begins to fall and looks over towards Zim. "Wha?! Where'd you get that parachute?!" Zim smiles wryly as the parachute billows above, the both of them floating down towards the water. He then notices her cane, and his gun, on her backpack strap. "Aren't you wondering where I got this as well?" She reaches behind her back and pulls out an object. GDN gets wide-eyed as he recognizes it as the Console. "How did you - When - Wha...?" "You're lucky I know how to crack a safe." GDN sees the expanse of water below, coming closer and closer. "Err...I hope you brought a raft with you as well! "Actually, I did." ((Apologies for the short length, I've got a terrible headache and don't feel like writing any more.)) | 2010-12-09 05:02:00 Author: TheZimInvader Posts: 3149 |
| The Cargo plane landed in New Natal ((IS THAT ALLOWED!?)) and Matthews walked calmly towards it as the 3 soldiers unloading the plane were joined by New Natal personnel.* "You, Soldier" Matthews asked "Come here" the bewildered Soldier trudged to him "What's in the vault?"* "Emm... Mercuy told us it was 'the console' "The soldier replied "Ah! Excellent" Matthews opened the safe and a grim look fell upon his face "Where is it?" Matthews asked, his voice obviously restrained "WHERE IS IT!?" Matthews threw the vault at Mercuys feet "Where. Is. The. Console." Matthews clenched his teeth.* "It should be.. " Mercuy stammered "GDN must have took it"* "GDN..." Matthews muttered...

I mean, if you're just shipping some cargo on a train, you're not gonna need much heavy armor, right? We were considering the soldiers on the train to be like the ones in Uncharted 2.

| GDN lands on the water first. Zim proceeds to pull a trigger on the raft that makes it inflate, then release it on the water and land on it. GDN climbs it right after. GDN: I can’t believe you did it! They proceed to use the cane and the gun’s butt as paddles, and head to the land at the distance. Zim: So, now that we have it, what do we do with it? GDN: Sincerely, I don’t know… They get to land. There is a large highway. The signs on the road indicate that they’re in MS territory. There are a few cars passing by. GDN glances to his side and sees a gas station. GDN: Let’s go there, maybe there’ll be something useful… They head to it. It’s abandoned, but there is a motorcycle lying outside. GDN starts the engine and Zim sits behind him. They set of onto the highway. They didn’t know that the gas station was a biker’s gang HQ. The bikers noticed that they stole their bike, and set off to chase them. ------------------------------------------ GDN: With this we’ll reach somewhere quickly! Zim hears more motorcycles and looks behind her. Five bikers are chasing them. Zim: GDN… Look! GDN: Oh no… Biker: Have no mercy boys… Nobody messes with us!!! A biker approaches them and swings his chain at them, almost hitting Zim. Zim: GDN, do something! GDN: I can’t, they’re civilians! Zim: You call THAT a civilian? GDN speeds up and heads to a small dirt road to the side in an attempt to outrun them, but they keep chasing them. He travels through some open hills, with the bikers behind them. One of them pulls out a shotgun and aims at them. Biker: Say hello to my boomstick! Zim: GDN, LOOK OUT!!! GDN accelerates towards a bridge. The biker steadies his weapon, but notices that they’re heading towards a broken bridge. They slow down, but GDN maintains full speed. Zim: GDN, what are you going to do??? GDN: Getting us outta here. He jumps over the broken bridge and falls on the road at the other side of the river. They continue their way while the bikers watch. Biker: Son of a… ------------------------------------------ GDN keeps heading down the small dirt road until they get back onto the highway. GDN and Zim see the city of New Natal at the distance. GDN: There we are, New Natal… Zim: You know that they’ll be searching for us, right? GDN: It’s a pretty big city… We won’t need to get in though, just head to the airport and catch a plane. GDN takes the road to the airport. They get inside. Zim looks around, thinking on how they are going to get back to Sony territory. GDN: If you don’t mind, I’m hungry… We haven’t eaten anything for a long time… Zim: Go on, I’ll keep thinking on how we get out of here. GDN orders some food at a restaurant. He still has some money on his pocket, after all the fights and swimming and explosions. He sits at a table while Zim looks at the flight prices. Zim: Ok, we could buy a flight to Sony territory! They aren’t that expensive… GDN: Yeah, yeah… Hey, aren’t you hungry after all that, don’t you want to eat something too? Zim: I don’t know… GDN: Come on Zim… You seem a little weak… ((Summary: GDN and Zim head to MS territory; they go to the airport of New Natal to get back to Sony territory)) | 2010-12-09 10:21:00 Author: gdn001 Posts: 5891 |

| Zim: I?m not! GDN eats his food while Zim watches him. He glances at her. Then glances at the counter. GDN: Waiter! Bring another plate here! Zim: GDN! GDN: You are obviously hungry! The waiter delivers another dish of food and Zim starts eating. GDN: So, I noticed that you were looking at the flight boards, did you find any good flights? Zim: Well, there were some cheap ones to S?o Paulo? I think that we should get this one. GDN: Alright, let?s just finish this and? GDN glances behind Zim and sees five men with a heavy armor enter the terminal. They search around. The airport security asks what they are doing there. Soldier: We received an anonymous call from here? It said that two fugitives are here! Security: Really? What do they look like? Soldier: They?re two sackpersons? One is a soldier, the other is wearing a blue cap and brown clothes. Security: I think I saw them a while ago? GDN looks back at Zim. GDN: Zim, don't look, but they are searching for us? Zim: What??? Oh, come on? GDN takes his helmet off, and then tells Zim to hide it in her backpack. Zim takes her cap off too. Zim: They won?t buy it GDN? GDN: Rule one when searching for someone: is he using a hat? They walk discretely in the middle of the crowd, the soldiers looking around. Suddenly, they hear: Soldier: YOU! Put your hands up!!! GDN looks at them, praying that they mistaken him for another. But, all he sees is the soldiers pointing their weapons at them. Soldier: Come on!!! Zim: What now, GDN??? Soldier: Do it or we?ll shoot! Beginning by the girl? GDN closes his eyes. The soldiers slowly begin to pull the trigger, until they fire. But GDN turns around quickly and points his hand at them. The bullets stop in their tracks. GDN?s eyes are glowing. Soldier: Our weapons are ineffective! Change tatic! The soldiers test their newest weapon, the incinerate plasmid, on them. Zim: What is that??? GDN: Stay behind me! GDN creates a shield that protects them from the intense heat. But the soldiers insist, and GDN weakens. Soldier: He is losing his powers! Soon, him and his friend will burn to death! GDN then stands up. GDN: NO!!! He sends a sonic blast that deflects the fire back at the soldiers. They run off the way. GDN: Let?s go, Zim! Zim: But which flight are we taking? GDN: Our flight. They get onto the runway and begin to run towards a hangar at the other side. But two armored vans block their way. GDN: Not a chance! GDN sends both vans flying with a sonic blast. Four robots come to stop them. Zim: I?m tired of you doing everything, I will help! Zim jumps onto one robot, doing a flip in the air and dodging his bullets. She hits it with her cane, creating a shock that fries his circuits. Another robot begins to fire at her. Zim runs. The robot is hit by a cone thrown by GDN. It fires his missiles. GDN dodges the first ones, then catches the third with his powers and sends it back. Zim climbs one robot and the other fires missiles at her location. She jumps out before the missile destroys the bot. They run to the hangar. The last bot has a lock on at them and fires his laser. Zim: GDN, do something! GDN tries to use his powers, but they aren?t working. GDN: Zim, pass me the gun! Zim takes the gun from her backpack and throws it to GDN. He stops and crouches, then fires indefinitely at the robot. The robot explodes right after. GDN: Who would believe that an obsolete gun could penetrate modern armor?? Unless? Zim is already in the plane. She waves at GDN. Zim: Here! GDN runs to the plane and gets into the pilot?s seat. He turns the rotors on and begins to taxi. They are ready to take off. GDN speeds up through the runway and takes off, while more soldiers attempted to take them down, but without succeeding. Soldier: Damm, he escaped! And what the hell was he doing back then? Meanwhile, GDN and Zim headed to their base, to initiate research on the console. ((Summary: GDN and Zim are attacked at the airport by the improved soldiers, but GDN temporarily regains his powers and is able to fight them back. They escape by plane and are heading back to their base)) ((There, from now on, we get attacked only by the improved soldiers. We?re screwed)) | 2010-12-09 17:16:00 Author: gdn001 Posts: 5891 |

| "No!" Roared Matthews as the plane took off, Out of his wrist grew a blue ball which, with inhuman strength he threw at the plane, almost unaffected by gravity the orb splattered on the side of the plane, establishing a mental link with Matthews.* "Shut down this airport, NOW!" Matthews screamed "No one gets in or out by plane. Patrol the Borders."* | 2010-12-09 18:30:00 Author: Kern Posts: 5078 |
