http://i51.tinypic.com/mmpgyv.jpg((Sir, sargeant is requesting your toast!))

http://i55.tinypic.com/mm6934.jpg((Understood, but tell him that if he calls me "sock puppet" again I will kill him with my bare hands!))

http://i51.tinypic.com/mmpgyv.jpg((Yessir!))

- Say goodbye, Microsoft scumbag...
- Diana? Is it you?
- GDN?

Diana opened the door completely to confirm that it was GDN. She kept the rifle pointed at Peter all the time.

- What are you doing here???
- No, you tell me what are you doing here! I thought that they had killed you...
- I thought they had killed you too... The soldiers here were talking something about "executing the Sony commander in national television"... But then they all got agitated for some reason, leaving an open chance for me to escape.
- Uhh, now that we are friends, can you put that gun down?
- Don't worry, Diana. He's on your side...

Diana drops the gun on the floor and looks around.

- I think I know how to get out of here... Follow me!

------------------------

The group got inside a large and tall hexagonal room. There were catwalks on the sides and a metallic door on the ground.

- Where are we heading now?
- Down there. I heard the guards talk about a prototype vehicle in there.

Diana hits a button that makes the door slowly open. The ceilling also opens, revealing the night sky. Some raindrops fall throught it.

- Quick! Let's get down there!

Suddenly, more guards appear on the platform across the room. The three draw their guns and begin to fire back while dodging the bullets.

- We don't have time for this! Let's run!

They stop firing and begin running towards the ground level. The guards won't give up. They reach the ground level, but the doors are not yet comletely open. They resume firing back. A bullet hits GDN right in the helmet.

- GDN!!!

He stands up, dizzy.

- I'm fine...
- The doors are open! Come on!

The open doors reveal an air vehicle (http://bf2142.free-gfx.com/bf2142_vehicles/bf2142_EU_vehicles/eu_transport_ud12_shepherd/eu_transport_ud12_02.png). They get inside, GDN and Peter man up the pilot seats. A thunder strikes outside, illuminating the large hangar for a second. The bullets hit the cockpit window, but it resists. The aircraft begins making its way outside the hangar.

------------------------

The guards outside the base can only see the aircraft hovering out of the main hangar, the beggining to move forward.

- Call the airforce!

------------------------

Inside the aircraft, GDN finally had some time to rest his body and mind. He takes off his helmet and checks the bullet stuck to it.

- I'm gonna need a new one...
- So, GDN, we got Joe and the entire Microsoft army after us, what are we going to do now?
- I... I need to know how Zim and the others are doing.
- Well, why don't you just call them?
- My communicator was broken...
- Oh... But anyway, what are we going to do after that?
- I'm going back to S?o Paulo. Sony must retake its HQ, that way we might have power to stop this war! And only then I'm going to have a special meeting with the Ascension group...

Their talk got interrupted by an alarm. Microsoft's air force was on their tail.

http://i51.tinypic.com/mmpgyv.jpg((Well, it's ok... You are the commander, right?))

http://i55.tinypic.com/mm6934.jpg((I am? Damm right I am! So I order Zim to TOAST!))

((I feel the need for toast.))

"What's our ETA?"
"I dunno man, you tell me."
"You're the pilot!"
"I don't keep track of time, I just fly the thing, i might have figured it out if you guys were paying me, but you didn't give me squat!"
"Laura, are you sure this pilot of yours isn't a stoner?"
"He might be, but it's never been a problem before."
"Terrific."
"Alright, I think i can see the place, but it might just be me hallucenating, can't tell the difference."
Mercuy let out a sigh and walked towards the front of the chopper to look out the window, and to his suprise the Nintendo base Rusl had referred to shone in the distance. He walked back into where everyone else was and Rusl took out a map, layed it on the floor and began to talk.
"Alright, the main base entrance will probably be pretty heavily guarded, luckily there's a secret back entrance over here." he explained, while gesturing with his hands on the map. "They'll want to keep it secret, being so close to the highway and all, so there won't be many guards over there, problem is that the elevator inside will only hold 1 person, might take a while to get us all inside, research center will be pretty close once we get up there though."
"Okay, sounds good. Billy, bring us down here, if we get any closer they'll see us coming."
"That's a bit of a hike, you sure?"
"Yeah, we have to keep a low profile."
Everyone jumped out of the helicopter as it's blades came to a halt in a clearing amidst some trees in the center of the valley. Rusl and Zeta lead the way towards the small door in the forested hillside...

((With the thread being revived, I figure I best continue my character's story. Recall, Blue and Navy have traced the mysterious signal to a Microsoft base Blue is quite familiar with.))

"So you don't know about this place? You were right there in the temple before I got here last time!* You didn't follow Zeta and I?"

(( * TCW3 Recap: Blue's first encounter with Navy was in a temple, where a shadowy figure appeared and forced Blue to relive the death of Rebecca. Blue would later learn that this was Navy, testing the development of Blue's powers.))

Navy rubbed his chin. "I did have to obtain a spaceship*, you know. I figured with the Zoni right nearby, they'd take you right to the Clock. You mean some Microsoft grunts actually managed to capture Zoni? That's impossible, only the Fongoids have that type of technology. Even at their best, Microsoft never reached galactic levels of weaponry."

(( * Navy took a supremely advanced spaceship to the Great Clock to confront Blue at the end of TCW3. This is why he didn't pursue Zeta and Blue, he needed to finish his plan.))

"What if you coming to this time changed that? Navy, these guys are NOT normal Microsoft troops. The last time I came here, they knew exactly what the Zoni were. They were going to use them to time travel! Wait a minute... what was that planet you mentioned? Kortog?" Blue reached into the bag strapped to his back and pulled out a shiny handle, flicking it into the electric whip it was. "This thing, the Lightning Ravager, I stole it from here. It comes from Kortog. They've been in space. They've done god knows what." He put the Lightning Ravager back away. "These guys are dangerous."

Navy looked at the Microsoft tracker, still pointing towards the fort. "Well, we don't have much of a choice. Let's just do this. I'm sure we can take a bunch of scientists by surprise anyways." Navy got out of the vehicle and stormed towards the building.

"Idiot, you don't think these guys have the firepower for the both of us? You're going to get us kil-LOOK OUT!"

Blue saw Navy about to brush against what seemed like a flat, smooth rock protruding from the snow and quickly tackled him, but it was too late. The 'rock' split open and released enough electricity to kill a small elephant. Navy pushed Blue off of him and stood up, brushing ice off of himself. "Ha. Electric traps, nice to have some good luck every now and then." Blue punched him in the shoulder. "Moron! These guys aren't as stupid as you, they've got these things wired! ****it, they've got cameras watching us as we speak!" As if triggered by Blue's words, alarms went off all over the fort.

Navy still seemed amused. "Cmon, how many can there be?" "At least five hundred," Blue scowled, retrieving the Lightning Ravager from his stuff. "Probably in waves of fifty."

Navy sent waves of red electricity spiraling down his arms. "I love getting the good odds."

S5 sat back down and looked at the gaurd, who was on the phone. S5 waitedf for the lenghty call to end.
****
The guard sat back down."Subject, I have been told that you are to be sent on a mission to reclaim our HQ"
"So we stop the interveiws? why?"
"Some people at the top think that the stuff you know is suitable only for personal use"
"Right? so the mission?"
"They think that you are only a danger to MS because how nice you've been to me and your knowledge of their stuff"
"A bit strange"
"Yes but..."

((Taking a break from my 4th playthrough of Portal 2 to post.))

"Wow, door's unlocked. You'd think they'd have more security in a place like this."
"Dissapointed, Mercuy?"
"Kindof."
"Who cares? Lets just get inside."
"Right."
They walked into a small dark room, about the size of a few walk-in closets, with 1 set of doors at the end.
"Well, let's not waste any time."
They all piled in to the elevator and ascended towards the facility.
"When we get up there, we have to split up and look for any signs of this atari project."
"So, what exactly are we looking for?"
"I don't really know, just keep your eyes open."
The elevator came to a halt and the doors flew open to reveal dark hallways lined with white paint and glass, only illuminated enough for them to see a few metres infront of them. They 5 of them all took off in different directions, tons of rooms but no one there.

((Alright, I made us split up for a little while, so everyone can do what they want to for a little while, just no one include me for now.))

Guys, am I the only one trying? I know some of you are busy, but 2 weeks? I haven't posted because I have no where GDN is taking his plot, but I did it anyways to revive this thread. So, am I supposed to revive it again? Because honestly, I have no idea who Diana is.

What am I getting at? Simple: if nobody is going to post anything, I'm going to kill of Diana and hijack the plot so I can continue. Yeah, an ***hole of a move here, but at least I'm trying to revive this thread.))

((What am I getting at? Simple: if nobody is going to post anything, I'm going to kill of Diana and hijack the plot so I can continue. Yeah, an ***hole of a move here, but at least I'm trying to revive this thread.))
((Wait wait wait, if you are going to begin assassinating plots here, just stop. If you read my previous posts (that are now way behind) you would know who Diana is.))
GDN wakes up in a rather small cell. He looks at the round window and realizes that he's inside a ship. The city can be seen not too far away. It was nightime.

- Did I stay here for too long?
- No, we captured you this day.

GDN turned around to see a soldier standing at the other side of the cell. His uniform indicated that he was an Ascension soldier.

- You were the pest that stole our information, right?
- You can say that...
- It wasn't enough, you had to destroy our cosmodrome!
- Heh... It wasn't much of a place...
- Well, it's good to have you back. The general wants to talk to you tomorrow, so, good night!

The soldier walks away and closes the door behind him. GDN sits on the corner and thinks for a while. He falls asleep before he could have any ideas.

---------------------

- Psst...
- Uh... What?
- Sony guy, wake up!

GDN turns around to see a sackgirl, about his age, standing in front of him.

- Who are you? What are you doing here?
- Hi. My name's Diana, and I'm going to help you escape!
- How did you get here? This place is too dangerous for a girl like you!
- Don't worry. I was hired to clean this ship. Nobody notices me around here. They are too concerned with their stuff to care about me.
- Well, if you work for them, why are you helping me?
- Because, I know what they are doing. I heard my superiors talk about their plans. These guys, they are crazy!
- Well, ok then, will you find a way to open this cell?

Diana takes a key out of her pocket and opens GDN's cell.

- Nice... Thank you!
- Come on, we need to get you out before they notice your absence!

---------------------

The two sneak around the ship, passing throught a cargo area and into the engine areas. They stop to rest at a small room, filled with pipes and vents.

- So, what do you know about their plans?
- What? Well, I know that their first objective was to cause a war between the three factions.
- Well, I guess that they already did that... But why?
- To create a distraction big enough for them to do what they want to do.
- And what do they want to do?
- I'm not sure, but rumours say that they are building a really powerful weapon!

They stop talking for a while as some guards pass by the room. Diana removes a metal grid from the floor, allowing them to go down to the room below.

- A super weapon? That means that we have to gather forces against them as quick as possible!
- Well, we can't do that if we don't get out of this place first...

They look around. GDN points at a door.

- There! That must be the exit!
- How can you be sure?
- The sign above it.
- I wouldn't count on that... Their signs are a bit confusing. Not only that, but their english is pretty messed up.
- Well, there's only one way to find out...

They run to the door and open it. GDN and Diana reach a room filled with many crates.

- Dead end.
- Well, anyone can be wrong once or twice...

Some soldiers notice the open door. They approach the room and shout:

- WHOEVER'S IN THERE, HANDS UP!

---------------------

- Great...
- What do we do, GDN???

GDN searches some boxes for something useful. He finds a armor-like device. Without hesitating, he puts it on his shoulder.

- I wonder what this does...
- We don't have time for toys, GDN!

The soldiers get into the room, pointing their weapons. GDN and Diana keep their hands up.

- Hey, Yaru, isn't her that little maid?
- Yeah, she is... Well, we didn't need a maid in the first time...

They approach GDN. He gives them bad looks.

- And you... You were supposed to stay at you cell, you know...

He walks even nearer, then tries to hit GDN with his gun. He protects his face using the armor piece he just put on. The impact gets deflected, stunning the soldier. GDN quickly hits him with his shoulder, throwing him at the others.

- Whoa! I liked...

They run out of the room. The soldiers get up and try to stop them, but they are already too far.

---------------------

GDN and Diana reach a large cargo door on the side of the ship. He looks down at the dock below.

- It's not much... We can do that!

GDN jumps out the ship and falls on the ground, rolling. Diana hesitates.

- Jump!
- I can't! It's too high!
- I'll catch you!

Diana jumps and GDN catches her. More soldiers appear on the ship, firing at them, but the two run away. The general appears to see what happened.

- Sorry, sir, but the two escaped!
- Well, well, well. It wasn't this time, GDN...
- Aren't you angry?
- Don't worry... He'll come back, soon...

((Well of course we're busy. I think we all established that whole "It's something called Life" statement is fact.

What I find annoying is everybody else. They type short stories, and while I would accept them, I think it's hypocritical that some of them just post a random event, then say "Oh, this thread is dying again." I tried to make epic toasts so some of them can do the same (or at least find ways to connect with us), but they just keep posting short "lone wolf" stories.

Like I said, I know we're busy with "El Vida". But seriously, if everybody does a stalemate like they did last week (referring to the week GDN didn't progress with his story because he was waiting on you), then I'll "hijack" to the story to connect to everybody somehow.

Oh, and GDN, you don't necessarily have to post now, but try to post in the next few days.

1. I need to think the plot throught before posting;
2. I need to keep my test marks above average, or you'll see what it really means to be absent;
3. I don't want to put my story lightyears ahead of Zim's story (two to three days are separating them), so that she'll either need to post five walls of text to catch up or make up a convincing time warp;
4. And, even though I have a lot of free time, I can't stay on this thread all the time posting text after text. It would be tiring, and the posts would become poorer and poorer.))

*Find out he's actually in school, meaning he's not 30 at all.*

((It always is interesting when people guess your age.
quite often people guess my age and are about 60 years off, I still laugh when someone says im 18 or somthing like that.
probably being a gamer that makes the think that...))

((Yeah, sorry, but I hardly know anybody's ages here. When they said GDN and Zim were different ages, I thought they meant in real life. You can't blame me (too much) for misinterpreting it. It's my first time playing TCW, so I never knew their characters were that age.))

((Well, my excuse for not posting was end-of-year exams in a week. >.>))

Zeta ran silently down on of the passages on the base's perimeter. She needed to find a way to the centre, where she was sure the Atari projects mainframe would be stored. If she could just hijack the information unnoticed Nintendo would not be able to tell it was her, outsmarted by their own technology. As a Nintendo elite she could get past the sensors, they would not set off any alarms. But real guards had more brains than that, she had been AWOL for some time and her surprise return would want questioning and detainment.

It would be best to put my foot in it instead of trying to talk my way round security... Zeta thought as she looked round a corner to see the first of the personal. He had his back to her, making it easy work to knock him out and retrieve his weapon. Pausing a moment she took his ID chip too, That should get me through most of the doors here.

Quickly she headed away from the lighter outer edge of the base into its depths below ground. The lack of security so far was unnerving, Zeta hoped they were not preoccupied with another of their team somewhere else in the complex. Stop worrying, just make use of this quietness while you can.

- What is happening???
- Either a bird hit the engine or they’re attacking us!

Diana looks out the window and sees three Microsoft fighters following them. One of them fires a missile that locks onto their engines.

- Oh god, GDN, they’re firing missiles at us!
- I know! Hold on!

The aircraft does a barrel roll, evading the missile by a few meters. They are attacked by a rain of gunfire. GDN makes an evasive maneuver, ending right behind one of them. He prepares the missile button and presses it, but all that happens is a pneumatic noise.

- Uh-oh… I think that they forgot to load the missiles…
- Don’t you mean “I did”?
- No, I really mean “they”!

The vehicle is targeted again by another shower of gunfire. Peter kicks GDN out of the pilot seat and starts the thrusters.

- Enough chatting and let’s get out of here!

The thing boosts away, followed by the enemy fighters, who try to catch up with them, failing.

((@Cyber: Don't be afraid to take control of the story for a while, as long as you don't kill Diana or take me to an island in the middle of the ocean or something like that;

"But what?"
"On second thoughts, when we're in your room..."
S5 picked up his case and looked at the guard.
"Just take me to my room"
****
"Well, I think what you know is usefull. I'll arrange for some paper to be sent here so you can write up what you know"
"Ok I'll do that. This room isn't exactly five star, I was expecting more from a corapate giant."
"It was short notice, just be glad you don't have to share my room."
"Could you get me some paint? and a brush? ... its makeover time!"

((We're running on fumes here! I'm very short on ideas!))

- So, were are we heading now?
- I have no idea on where the others are now... I think we should head to S?o Paulo, try to retake the city...
- Alone?
- Well, there is a hidden outpost outside the city... If we're lucky, the remaining soldiers must have set up a resistance there.
- Oh. We should get there as fast as we can then!

Peter sets the navigation to S?o Paulo.

- So, what are we going to do once we get there?
- To be honest, I have no idea... Well, we must contact Merc, Zim and the others, see how they're doing... Then formulate a plan to retake the HQ.

GDN takes a glance outside the small window to see the ground, several feet below them.

- Then we can begin to clean this mess...

The gaurd knocked on the door of S5's room, S5 finished putting up the scarlet curains and opened the door.
"Transport to S?o Paulo has been arranged"
"Right, I'll get my suitcase"
"Did you write everything up?"
"Yes, its all on the bed"
"I love what you've done with your room"
"Thanks, am I going or what?"
"Yeah, follow me"
****
The guard took S5 to an airplane.
"The co-ordinates have been set, the plane has autopilot so you can rest a bit."
"Lovely"
"Its set for an outpost outside the city..."((k gdn?))

((I think it's my turn.))

I know it's like 11pm, but still, why are there no guards in this place if it holds such deep secrets?
Mercuy continued down the hallways of the dark facility, advancing through offices and labs, but found nothing of value; a few computers, but none he could get into. He was about to give up hope, until he saw the glow of a lightbulb shining through a door a few feet away. I sure do hope someone didn't just leave the lights on.
He walked into the room to find something delightful, to his eyes anyways; a man in a lab coat standing in the corner, punching keys on a computer. Mercuy couldn't see what he was doing from here, and slowly moved closer in a crouched position, magnum by his side. He didn't have a silencer, but it wouldn't be a problem if no one else was there.

He was close now. Mercuy stood up and brought the pistol up to the scientist's neck, he could feel someone behind him and was about to react, but the cold barrel of the weapon on his exposed neck kept him quiet.
"Put your hands up, and turn around slowly..."
He obeyed, but when he saw the man's face he started to feel at ease.
"Kleeb?"
"Mercuy?"
((I don't know if any of you recall who Kleeb was, but it doesn't really matter.))
"What the hell are you doing here? I thought you worked with Microsoft, and weren't a scientist."
"Microsoft? Do you think I'm going to work for that deranged animal they call a president? I joined up here a few months ago, we managed to retrieve some Atari artifacts and DNA samples and we've been studying their potential for a while. We reached a breakthrough today, everyone else went home, but I just couldn't get away from this."
He turned around and pointed at something, there were 3 small syringes full of bluish-white liquid, and what looked like a glove and an arm brace glowing white along the edges. ((Can't describe with a picture because I'm being somewhat original here.))
"I think we've found a way to induce powers of some kind in humans."

"Cool story bro."
"You don't believe me do you?"
"Depends, you guys tested this thing yet?"
"On animals... yes."
"So what makes you think this will work?"
"We tested it on a pig, and even it could push a can off a table from the other side of the room."
"Was it dangerous?"
"No, the pig lived to see another day.... not quite because we killed it, but it would've lived to see another day."
"How would you feel about suiting me up then?"
"Well.... It won't kill you... and if this works maybe we can mass produce it and give one to everyone in Sony and Nintendo; bring the fight straight to Microsoft's front door."
"Well, what are we waiting for then?"
"Alright." Kleeb picked up one of the syringes and brought it close to Mercuy's arm. "Now, this is concentrated blood and DNA from one of those Atari alien things, it has an immunity in it that can protect you from the invisible plasma that this device will inject into you, it will then harness that energy and enable you to have some powers. I'm not sure what just yet, but that's for you to find out, the pig could push things around from a distance, we'll see what you'll be able to do. Now, i'm going to inject the Atari DNA, won't be more than a prick." He then stabbed the needle into Mercuy's upper arm, the strange liquid flowing into his blood.
"Alright?"
"Yeah, what's next?"
"Now we have to attach the plasma clamp onto your arm, now i'll be honest, this one is going to sting." He pulled out a metal clamp with wires portruding from it, and 4 needles sticking out of the inside. All of them to be injected into Mercuy. "Deep breath." Without much hesistation, Kleeb closed it and it clamped down straight onto Mercuy's arm, followed by a deep grunt.
"Why do most things have to involve sharp objects?"
"Don't complain, I'm giving you telekenesis."
"Right."
"Now, the least painful part, just to strap this onto your forearm."
Kleeb picked up the glowing brace and strapped it onto Mercuy's arm and plugged the wires from the clamp into it.
"Alright, you're all set now, it is going to take some warming up though, and you have to learn how to harness it." Mercuy held up his arm in amazment, then brought it down and motioned it in the way of a keyboard on the table, moving it about a foot.
"Now this is cool."
"And you've only scratched the surface."
"Thanks Kleeb, this is quite incredible."
"Don't mention it."
"Hey wait, before I go, do you have any other information on Atari? like secrets, massive weapons, that kinda stuff?"
"There was... 1 other thing..."
"What?"
"There is another part to the legend of the console."

Suddenly GDN felt a pain in his entire body. He placed his hand on his chest and knelt, grumbling in pain. Diana immediately ran to him and helped him up.

- What happened GDN?
- Something... Is in my body... I know this feeling... Somehow...

GDN has a flashback of when he absorbed the RROD virus from Jack's body, getting infected by another fatal variation of it - the YLOD virus. The flashback suddenly cuts. GDN tumbles on the floor again, coughing.

- Oh my god, Peter, GDN is dying, DO SOMETHING!
- What am I supposed to do???
- I don't know, call somebody, tell them that the Sony commander is dying, HURRY!!!

Peter then reminds that he had a comunicator he got from GDN back at the airfield in the desert. He turns it on.

- Hello? Somebody there?

Meanwhile, Diana tried to take care of GDN. His vision was becoming yellow-tinted. He was having flashbacks of the last time he contracted the YLOD, but for some reason these flashbacks weren't clear. He was locked in hallucinations.

"Overheating" S5 sat in the cockpit looking desperatly for a set of knobs. "Yes!" he found them and turned them all down as far as they could go. He looked at small display and watched the numbers on it decrease past zero.
S5 sighed and smiled "That is the best air con ever" he looked at a water bottle and watched it slowly freeze.

Zeta came abruptly to a halt and groaned, dead end. Crazy designers, this is a base, not a maze. Just as she was about to turn back she saw a tiny pulsing red light, about half way down the right side of the wall. Looking closer Zeta saw a tiny Atari logo imprinted beside it.

'Hmm'

She took out the guards ID card and pressed it against the LED, there was a beep and the light went green. That was too easy. Zeta thought with more foreboding than smugness. The corridor behind was darker, lit only at intervals with glowing panels. Still no other guards, or any sign of security.

Sensing she was getting close Zeta broke into a run. She passed several other doors which slid open without resistance, before she reached what appeared to be the end of the passages. A circular room was ahead, empty but for a central computer, its wires trailing across the floor. Zeta walked in carefully. The quietness was unnerving her more by the minute. She stooped to pear down one of the holes the wires descended into. They were connected to a power orb that glowed softly. Getting up she walked around the computer examining every detail, the Atari symbol was emblazoned in the centre, but Zeta was looking for something else.

Then she saw it, a small blue card in the middle of the machine. The central memory, containing all the information she needed. Forgetting her worries for a second she bent to remove it from the machine, then froze. Six tiny laser points were pointing directly at her.

'I would suggest you stay exactly where you are Commander Sanyari.'

Nathan blinked in the bright spotlight, slowly focusing around the shadow partially blocking it out.
"Ah, Captain Sine" the Man commented "You are awake.."
Nathan tried to speak but his mouth was filled with a foam that stopped sound getting out
"You failed in your initial mission so we immediately took you in for testing" The Man continued "I'm sure you are aware of this, you did automatically agree to this in the terms and conditions... or did you just skim over them?"
The Man pressed a button on his generic touch pad before stepping back slightly, The Ceiling hissed as a large hinged arm descended, At the Tip of the Arm was a small forked array. it began spinning and glowing a bright purple color bathing the entire room in a dark purple light. Nathans entire mind went fuzzy before he collapsed into the chair unconscious...

Mercuy crept through the hallways of the dark, lonely facility, looking for the group he started with, the base now darker after his eyes adjusted to the light of Kleeb's lab. Dark or not, they found what they needed, and he could contact his friend if anything else were to come up, but now he had an objective, and needed the team.

"Hello? is anyone there?"
He heard the faint noise vibrating from the communicator in his helmet.
"Yeah, who's this?"
"It's Peter. Look, I have no idea where you are now or what you're doing, but we need your help. It looks like GDN has been infected with some type of the YLOD virus, we're on a plane to Sao Paulo trying to take the HQ back, we're kicking the hornet's nest here Mercuy, we need anyone we can get, but right now, above all else we gotta get GDN back up to full speed."

Nathan opened his eyes, He was still tied to the chair although he was in another room, This was lined with White Metal and occasionally pulsed with a green light, Nathan struggled in the chair, he was hungry and tired he focused before blacking out for a second, when he came to he was in the canteen of the research lab being stared at by at least a dozen researchers, each looking up from their meals, shocked.
"He.. just appeared there right?"
"Yeah he did..."
"Does this mean Mannles experiments worked?"
"He needs to be put in a secure room, Now!" One of the lead researchers commanded
Two Security Officers picked Nathan and the chair up together and carried him down a series of corridors, until they stopped outside a large cell
they threw Nathan in and threw the chair in after him, Nathan got up and ran towards the door as it slammed shut, He Smacked the Padded walls with his hands, Nathan walked himself back through his memory. He concentrated and appeared at the other side of the room, He flickered again and appeared in the other corner, slowly it became natural to him, he tried to teleport outside of the room, but was met with a large headache, Desperately he tore away at the padding revealing a lead wall, He tried again but his headache got worse.

a few days later
Nathan crouched by the door, waiting for the slider to open and send the food through.
there was a small click as the catch was undone, and slowly the hatch opened, Nathan flickered and appeared behind the man pushing the food through, He Punched him in the back of the throat before standing on his neck

Zeta dropped her weapon with a clatter, scowling. The worst thing is I could see it coming and there was nothing I could do about it...

She turned to see a Nintendo elite she did not recognise. He was in a different uniform and had technology that looked nothing like the weaponry she had seen before. They have been developing a whole branch of soldiers in secret? This may be a even bigger project than we imagined.

'As you may of noticed, we were expecting you.' He said, 'Did you think we couldn't track with that handy little gadget you have?'

The elite gave a signal and several guards moved out of the shadows, leading her out in a chilly silence.

The elite stayed back but gave one last humourless grin as she was taken away, 'Don't expect to them to give you any slack because you were a Nintendo soldier, its a entirely different world here.'

Dark or not, they found what they needed, and he could contact his friend if anything else were to come up, but now he had an objective, and needed the team.

"Alright, we're coming, just hold on!"

The communicator crackled out and his creeping quickly broke into a sprint, he had to find at least Laura before he left the facility, and even that was pushing it. Footsteps. He quickly took cover behind a wall as the sound became closer. He didn't expect anyone that was there to cause trouble for him, but he had to be on the safe side. As she popped around the corner they looked away from him first, giving him a chance to see who it was.
"Laura!"
Bang.
She whipped around faster than he could do anything, and the darkness and panic got the better of her. The shot would've been fatal had Mercuy not driven it slightly off to the left with his new found powers.
"Friendly fire!"
"Mercuy!" She jumped forward and hugged him, trying to forget she had almost shot him. "This place just creeps me out."
"Why? What happened.?"
"I found the room that they were disecting dead aliens in."
"Hmmm, right. Did you find anything else?"
"A few troop movement records on Microsoft."
"Look, i'd love to stay here in the dark forever, but we have to get to Sao Paulo, GDN and Peter are in trouble, we have to go now."
"Alright, i'll get Billy ((Helicopter pilot)) on the line."
The two of them quickly sprinted back towards the exit, they had all they needed from here, and they had an objective.

"So then, what's the plan? I hope it's not stealth. I hate stealth." Blue twitched slightly with anger. "Well, you tossed that out, didn't you! No, that's not even an option at this point. Our best bet is to get into the compound. It's a mass of *****ed halls, leading every which way. They won't be able to flank us as well from in there. They'll have to send less at a time, and they'll divide forces as they search the whole building."

"Alright, you like plans? Then how about this. You take the MS device and guide the way, while I take care of anyone who gets in our way. You navigate, I shoot." The two were so focused on the compound that they didn't notice a small panel sliding along the ground next to them. "Good thinking. Now, the only problem is getting in. Last time I hacked the door, but I'm sure it's locked down now. Hmm... the windows probably aren't too tough. You don't have a gun, do you? I'd imagine electricity won't work. Wait... did you hear that?"

A small, cylindrical white robot was directly next to them. It waved around a bright laser before stopping it, pointed at Navy. "Hello? Oh, there you are."

"MOVE!" Navy rolled just in time to avoid a wave of bullets which followed him as he moved. The turret focused itself on Blue, but before it could fire, Navy grabbed it with an electric tendril. "Hey, put me down!" the turret cried out. Navy smiled. "Well, that wasn't too scar-OH GOD WHAT THE HELL!" Suspended in midair, the turret suddenly began shaking around as it emptied itself of remaining bullets. It was all Navy could do to avoid dropping it. As such, the momentum gained by the firing made the tendril and turret both fly around randomly, firing bullets all over the place. "No hard feelings." it said before deactivating itself.

"Well, good news is, you're still alive!" Navy said to an unamused Blue. "Better news is..." He pointed to a now shattered window on the second floor of the compound. "Ha, shouldn't have cheeped out on the bulletproof windows. Well, you ready?" Navy marched forward, charging up energy along his arms. "Climbing in a window to my sure death. Where have I seen this before?" He sighed and followed Navy.

((B3's been playing a certain game a lot recently, I can't remember the name...

))

- He said he is coming, hopefully he has a clue about what to do...
- That's good, but... Why would he know about this? Isn't the YLOD a Sony-only disease?
- Yes, but... Nobody gets the YLOD so suddenly... GDN got contaminated by someone.

Diana looks back at GDN, now uncoscious and lying on the floor.

- Don't worry... We'll bring you back... Somehow...

----------------------------------

The aircraft left MS airspace. S?o Paulo wasn't far.

- We are almost reaching our destination.
- Where are we going to stay? The city's been overrun by MS forces!
- I still need to think that throught...

They kept in silence for a few minutes, until Peter's radio emmited a faint sound.

- What is this?

He picked the device up and flicked some switches, in an attempt to get a better signal.

- Hello, who am I talking to?
- Your signal, it has a Sony signature. Are you a Sony member?

Peter noticed that the signal's signature was Sony too. He decided to take the risk.

- Yes... We are. Who am I talking to, again?
- To one of the Sony soldiers that survived the attack. We escaped the city and set up a resistance, but then decided to move our outpost inside the city, to get a better view on the situation. The hideout is on the Main avenue, near an office building with glass windows. It's almost intact. Meet us there.
- Oh, I see. GDN told me about you.
- GDN? Do you know our commander? Are you with him?
- Yeah, but... He's got the YLOD.
- WHAT???
- Don't worry, an ally is coming to help us. He's Microsoft by the way.
- And you trust him?
- Yes, I do. And GDN used to trust him as well. So shut up.

----------------------------------

The vehicle landed on the deserted avenue. Most buildings were destroyed, but Diana pointed to on that was almost intact.

- That one!
- Well, let's get there then...

Peter and Diana carried GDN towards the building, then stopped to rest. A distant engine noise caught their attention.

- What is that?
- Crap... Microsoft tanks!

A tank slowly turned around the corner at the distance, followed by some soldiers.

- We need to hide before it sees us!

They entered the office building. It was fairly intact inside.

- Damm, we left our aircraft in the wide open! They will sure notice it!
- Then let's hide even more!

The noise was getting closer. They then heard a voice:

- Over here!

Peter and Diana looked at a dirty Sony soldier, waving his hand at them and signaling them to follow him.

- Let's go, hurry!
- Follow him, Diana!

They dragged GDN towards a large broken tile on the ground. The soldier lifted it, revealing a tunnel. They hopped inside it before the enemies could see.

----------------------------------

The hideout was a bunker, with concrete walls, some lamps hanging on the ceiling and lots of soldiers and civilians walking and talking around.

- We built this place during the second war. We never thought we would use it. Boy, it was dusty as hell when we got there for the first time...
- Why didn't you stay outside the city? It was safer, wasn't it?
- I guess it was... But then who would help the civilians and update the commander about the situation? Even though he wasn't responding since we moved there... By the way, isn't the YLOD contagious?
- No, only commanders can get it, I think.
- Well, and who is this MS guy and why is he going to help GDN?

Diana broke her silence and answered:

- Because, he knows that this war is foolishness, and that the real one to blame is the Ascension group!
- Woah.
- I know what I am talking about, and GDN knew it too! That Microsoft leader that won't understand what is going on!
- Alright, alright, calm down...
- Just talking...

Richard's vision started to fade to yellow slowly, as he was being carried through the forest. His hearing range was reduced to a few inches. He ached all over. Finally, he rested his eyes, for the final time.

S5 Landed and got out of the plane.
He wheeled his suitcase down the Main avenue. He walked into an office with several cracked glass windows.
He strode in suitcase trailing behind him. He stopped and took a step back there was a hollow thud as he stepped on the tile. He shuffled his feet, the tile wobbled slightly.
"Hmm", he stepped off the tile and picked it up. "Steps, Oh and a tunnel!" he walked down taking his case with him. he replaced the tile and walked down the tunnel. "Echo!"

"There it is man. Sao Paulo, or however you say that..."
"Alright, stay low and out of sight, I need to figure out where they are."
His communicator crackled to life with static and a beep.
"Peter? Peter you there?"
"Yeah, where are you?"
"Approaching Sao Paulo now, where should we land?"
"There's a building on the main avenue, the one that's the least demolished, find the parking garge near there to land and meet us in the alleyway to the right of the building, there's no MS forces around right now, if you hurry you can stay away from a firefight."
"Alright, on approach now."
He shut off the radio and went back into the cockpit.
"Alright, let's get moving again, head towards the center of the city, if we hurry now there's less chance we'll get spotted."
"You got it dude."
The helicopter started to ascend and go towards the city. Peter had said it was clear around the area but had not mentioned anti-air defenses or scouts. The 3 of them were at ease for a little longer as they enterred the city limits and weren't being attacked by gunfire.
"There's the building."
"Alright, take us in."
As the chopper started to descend, Mercuy fellt that something bad was about to happen; Kleeb did mention heightened sense coming with his powers.
"SNIPER! GET DOWN!"
He shouted, just before a bullet smashed through the windscreen and hit Billy in the chest.
"Awww man..." He managed to say with his last breath before slouching over the now blood stained control panel.
"We're going down! Hold on, Laura!"
The chopper spun out with another shot to the rotor blade, and smashed right into the main street, the building on the other side, and the 2 of them still inside the wreckage with the alerted MS troops on the way...

((Alright, there's 2 options here: You come out of the bunker to save us, or I can write my way out of it. Either way works.))

- They are coming. I think we should go outside and show them where we are.
- That's a good idea.
- Laura, you stay here with GDN. There may be enemies wandering outside.
- But...
- Don't argue, OBEY!

Peter and five more soldiers exited the hideout throught the hidden entrance and analyzed the area.

- Seems clear, I think that the landing should...

When a sniper shot cut the air outside, followed by another one and an engine failure sound. An aircraft crashed right at the other side of the road.

- Is that them? Let's go!
- Wait, we need to confirm if they are the people we are looking for...

The squad took cover by the building's entrance. Peter took a glance at the crashed vehicle, seeing Merc pulling Laura off the scrap.

- Confirmed. These are the two that we are looking for.

Peter waved his hand at them. Merc noticed it and prepared to run across the avenue, but stopped upon seeing another sniper shot hit the floor in front of him. He took cover behind a piece of the fuselage. A rain of gunfire showered the crash site, coming from the approaching MS troops.

- Damm! OPEN FIRE!

The squad fired back at the enemies, but they were severely outnumbered. Merc was trying to help hold back the incoming troops.

- There are too much! We need more firepower!
- Wait, I think we have a rocket launcher stashed somewhere in the bunker!
- Well, hurry up and get it!

The soldier ran to the bunker entrance, while the others kept firing.

---------------------------------

After a while, the soldier was back with the rocket launcher. It had a "clip" with four rockets.

- I got them!

He ran to the middle of the avenue and took aim, but got hit by countless machine gun fire before he could do anything.

- MICHAEL! SAINT ********** MICHAEL!!!
- Damm!

Merc pointed his gun at the MS soldiers again, but this time the gun just emmited a cliking sound.

- Uhh, this is the part where we run out of ammo...
- What now, Merc? Divine intervention?

Merc looked at the rocket launcher, lying there in the middle of the avenue.

- We won't need it.

He ran out of his cover, dodging the bullets, rolled over the rocket launcher, picking it up, and immediately aimed and fired it at the troops, blowing half the squad up.

- Come on Laura, NOW!

Everyone ran inside the building and entered the bunker. The remaining MS soldiers got there right after, but couldn't see them anywhere. They walked around and over the secret entrance, then gave up and got away.

---------------------------------

- That was so freaking close... Why didn't you warn us about AA defenses?
- You thought we knew?
- Woah, whoa, will you guys calm down? So, where is the commander?

Peter lead them to the room where Diana was taking care of GDN.

- So, are these the guys that will help us?

Laura gretted her.

- Yes, we are. How's the commander?
- Well, he's got the YLOD from someone from MS. We need to find a way to cure him before it destroys his body...

"...Well, he's got the YLOD from someone from MS. We need to find a way to cure him before it destroys his body."
"Any ideas?"
"None yet, unless one of you happened to bring something with you."
"Wait..." Laura reached into her pocket and pulled out what looked like the same syringe that Kleeb gave to Mercuy.
"That might be useful... It managed to give me immunity to plasma in my bloodstream... Maybe it can provide an immunity to the YLOD virus, give it here." She handed him the syringe and Mercuy wasted no time in putting it to work. He injected it into GDN's arm and it's contents flowed through him as his eyes started to change back into their regular hue.
"I think it's working!"
"+1 for Mercuy!"
"Hey, I found the syringe."
"Fine, you get some credit."
"...."
"Guys, he's not getting up."
"Give it some time, i'm sure he'll be alright, best to keep an eye on him though."

((Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeellll I'm out of ideas for something that really doesn't require much thinking.))

((Continued from where I last left off, I was at the Nintendo Labs that were doing Atari stuff. This is about a day or so before Merc's recent actions and is at the same period as Zeta's capture and Merc's "enhancement"))

Rusl wandered the compound, contemplating his next course of action.
"This is getting me nowhere, I need to figure out a way to unite Sony and Nintendo, but how... Zeta, of course. She'll know what to do."

This time he wandered with a purpose: finding Zeta. However, instead of Zeta he eventually found a guard coming his direction. He hadn't seen Rusl down the hallway yet, so Rusl ducked back around a corner. As the guard got to the corner and made the turn, Rusl vanished. The guard walked two steps before Rusl dropped down on him. Rusl quickly wrapped his arm around the guards waist and the other over the guards mouth. He took his wiimote out and clubbed the guard in his temple. Rusl dragged the unconscious guard to a nearby storage closet. He swapped outfits with the guard and now could wander as he pleased.

Rusl looked around the compound for Zeta, making a mental map in his head so he wouldn't walk around in circles. Eventually Rusl heard a large group of guards walking together. His first instinct was run, but he quickly turned back around and confidently walked over to their direction. Before he could turn the corner to see the guards, they walked past. 4 guards surrounding a shorter, thinner person. A girl, it was Zeta.

Rus merely sighed, "Oh well, looks like I'll have to do this by myself, again..."

He wandered once again, thinking of a Plan B.

"Maybe I've been going about this all wrong, instead of proving Sony innocent. Maybe I need to be more aggresive. Instead of passively sneaking around, I need to get what I want by force..."

Rusl stopped walking and looked at the door in front of him. He grinned.
"Instead of revealing Ascension, I should reveal Nintendo..."
Rusl used his stolen I.D. to open the door, it read:

Atari Research Labs
Authorized Personnel Only

Rusl glanced at the small team of scientists and researchers at work. They were all huddled up in one side of the lab, apparently mapping out their next move. However, Rusl did not care for the future plans, only for what they had already accomplished. There were a few guards in the lab as well, to help secure the delicate area. Rusl remained calm and strolled over to the opposite side of the lab. He walked over to a tall column where he disappeared from the other guards sight. The guards didn’t seem to care, and continued their patrol.

Meanwhile, Rusl, under the cover of the scientists’ noisy chatter, went to one of the scientist’s cubicle and started looking through their computer. Rusl peeked his head out the cubicle from time to time to see if anyone grew suspicious of his disappearing act. To his surprise, no one did. Rusl eventually found the files he was looking for and pulled out his phone. He downloaded all the files he wanted for his plan and, as a precaution, crashed the computer he used.

He began to make his way out of the lab when he was stopped by a guard. The guard was in his underwear with a bruise on his right temple. The man was absolutely livid and used the Nintendo base’s login history to find out where Rusl had gone with his uniform. Rusl didn’t dawdle and charged right through the man.

Rusl quickly opened the doors of the lab as guards began chasing after him. With the mental map he had created in his head, he knew where he had to go, but it would take quite a while to get there, especially with numerous guards trying to impede him. However, Rusl relished the challenge and pulled out his wiimote. With a flurry of blue and red energy at his hand, he began slicing through guards.

GDN's hands started to move. The antidote was beggining to take effect.

- Look, he's awaking!

He opened his eyes for the first time in hours. Diana was looking at him, Merc, Peter and Laura all around him.

- What... Happened...
- You got cured, commander!
- Cured...?
- Someone injected the YLOD into you. Do you remember who was it?
- I... I...

Suddenly, GDN remembered being called by Nathan, heading to the base in Africa and being knocked out by sleep gas.

- Someone must have injected the virus into me when I was unconscious... I remember escaping with Diana... And... ZIM! WHERE'S HER???
- We lost contact with her. As far as I know she may be dead by now...

GDN refused to accept such words. He jumped off the bed and grabbed Peter by the shirt.

- WHAT DO YOU MEAN SHE'S DEAD???
- Man, calm down, I didn't say I was sure, it was just an assumption.

GDN sat on the bed and held his head in torment.

- Great. Sony's screwed, Ascension is going to finish their weapon and Zim's dead. What kind of commander am I?
- GDN, don't blame yourself. We're going to end this war, we're going to stop the Ascension group, and we're going to find Zim, trust me...
- I wish I could, Diana... I wish I could...

GDN stood up and walked out of the room, leaving everyone behind.

((Ziiim...

Rusl was sprinting through the labyrinth of corridors he was stuck in. Rusl needed an escape plan once he got out, so he took out his phone as he slashed his way through multiple guards.

"And they say driving while talking on the phone is dangerous" Rusl said to himself as he sliced a guards head off.

After a few rings, someone picked up on the other side.

"Who is this?" GDN's voice boomed from the phone.
"It's the guy who tried to steal your PDA."
"How did you get this number?!"
"You shouldn't worry about that commander... As I have an interesting proposition for you." Rusl said as he did a baseball slide past a guard's legs before rising up and quickly giving a hard hit to the spine.
"I'm listening." GDN answered.
"Well, it's this simple..." Rusl took threw his wiimote sword and stabbed a guard in motion. He ran over and plucked it from his chest.
"I have all of Nintendo's Atari research exploits on my phone. As well as the goal of uniting Nintendo and Sony. A goal shared by you." Rusl said calmly as more guards rushed at him.
"You want me to bribe your nation?" GDN questioned.
"No, I just wanted to tell you a bedtime story, well obviously!" Rusl remarked.
"Shut up and send me the files." GDN commanded.
"Now, on any other day, I would." Rusl said as he neared his exit point.
"However, I seem to be in a quite a bit of mess at a Nintendo base, for obvious reasons, and would appreciate some assistance with my transportation."

There was a long silence as GDN weighed his choices.

((There, you can leave me stranded here if you don't want to bribe Nintendo into helping you. Ok?

S5 turned around and walked out of the tunnel, enjoying his footsteps echo down the tunnel.

He walked out onto the main street there were some people standing on the other side. "Hey there!" S5 waved at them. He dashed across the road so he could give a proper greeting.

- That seems like a good proposal... Where are you at?

Rusl gave GDN the coordinates of the the base. Diana appeared on the door behind him.

- Listen, we're kind of in a hard position there, but I'll see what I can do. Just don't be 100% sure.
- I got it! Now, if you excuse me...

GDN could hear Rusl punching someone in the face, then the communication ended.

"This guy picked a good time to call me..."
- Who were you talking to, GDN?
- Diana? Huh, nobody important...
- I heard your conversation, I know he's proposing something to you, please, tell me!
- Oh well... He wants to help Sony. I guess that any help is welcome...
- From which faction is he?
- Nintendo...
- Nintendo? Are you sure?
- Listen, I know that guy. Well, sort of. It can't get any worse anyway...
- Yes it can! You could, ya know... Die...

GDN put his hand in her shoulder and gave her a confident look.

- It won't happen.

-----------------------------

GDN got back to where everybody else was waiting. Peter stood up and walked to him.

- Well, it's about time! No need to get nervous, be cool.

GDN nodded to him and looked at the soldier.

- You! Do you got any aircraft that I can use?
- Well, we... Wait, what do you need it for?
- For what I want for. Now answer!
- Well, we don't have any vehicles ourselves... But I believe that we could find some at the HQ.
- You mean the HQ that got taken by Microsoft?
- Yes. Unless you really need it, it isn't worth it.
- Well, ok then. See you later.

GDN headed towards the exit. Before the soldier could figure out what he was planning, he dissapeared.

-----------------------------

The old Headquarters was pretty intact for an overrun building. The Microsoft forces were using it as their own. At the other side of the fence, was the commander, stalking the airfield. The aircraft he abandoned in the middle of the avenue not long ago was already parked inside one of the hangars. GDN looked at the tall eletric fence, thinking on how to pass throught it.

"Wait a second... If the main generator was destroyed in the attack, then the fence should be safe!"

GDN closed his eyes and slowly touched the fence. It was turned off. He then climbed the grid in relief and jumped over to the other side.

"Now, to reach that thing..."

GDN waited there, hidden by some bushes, waiting for the right moment. Another plane started its engines and began taxing around the airfield, causing curiosity in the guards and a loud noise. GDN ran to the hangar as fast as he could, hoping the plane would keep the soldiers distracted.

-----------------------------

He reached the aircraft and opened the door. An enemy turned his head around and saw him entering the vehicle.

- INTRUDER SIGHTED!!! SHOOT!!!

GDN closed the door right before the aircraft got showered by machine gun fire. He enabled the thrusters at full speed and the thing began to move. The soldiers ran out of the airstrip like crazy to avoid getting run over, then resumed shooting the vehicle, that was filled with bullet holes. Despite their attempt, the craft took off.

- DAMM! We secure this vehicle only for it to get stolen again!
- Now that you put it that way, it sounds pretty ironic...
- These fanboys will pay, they sure will... We need to find their hideout, then mow down the scumbags for good!
- When the time's right... We need to find their hideout before the cation begins...
- That's what I meant... Damm...

((Ok, now Silver can include me in his next post.))

((This post is from S5's perspective. I think it will be a fitting send off to the Unex we all knew. Whether truly dead or just traveling to somewhere else on these internets, he's in my thoughts.

))

As S5 walked across the street, the people began to look up. They squinted at the sky, then seemed scared, and finally ran away. "Did I scare those planners away?" he thought. "Perhaps I shouldn't have worn the bone necklace today.." When S5 reached the spot where the people were standing, he looked up and smiled. "Oh, is it that time already?" he muttered, looking up at the large spacecraft hovering above. "I guess it's time for me to go home." A blue laser shot down and seemingly disintegrated S5.

He appeared inside the ship, looking at dozens of those who looked exactly like him. "Brother!" one yelled. "Did you get it? The planners' secret?" All eyes were on S5 as he reached into his suitcase, a new one he'd picked up on his travels. He pulled out a white paper bag, emblazoned with a golden M and red decorations. "They call this the Happy Meal!" As everyone cheered, the spaceship flew off for destinations unknown...

((THAT SURE WAS A LONG PLANE RIDE, HUH?))
((And just a heads-up, I'm not completely clueless on what to do next, but you can lend a hand if you want))

Zim hurried through the airport lobby, her footsteps clattering across the glossy marble floors. The wide room was almost completely empty, save for a few people wandering about or lounging on the benches against the walls. Bright fluorescent lights hung from the ceiling, making the sky outside look pitch black in comparison. Various signs and posters were on the walls, each one advertising 'Somalia Airlines".
Zim made her way through the exit, pulling out her radio communicator as she reached the curb. She tried turning it on to contact GDN, but was met only with static. As she was about to try again, she remembered their dispute.
Why should I call GDN? I don't need his help, and I've definitely not going to offer him mine...Not after what he did.
Zim crossed her arms defiantly and sat down on the curb to reflect on what had happened so far. What had happened with Kernel on the plane irritated her.
"You can't trust anyone but yourself."
Those words that had been spoken to her so long ago kept repeating themselves, as if teasing the fact that she had let her guard down so many times. How could she have fallen for such an obvious trick?
After a few minutes of thinking, Zim glanced around. A dim haze hung over the area, thick dark clouds extending towards the horizon - The street lamps were on, bathing the rugged streets in an eerie yellow glow and casting long shadows across every surface. Nearby buildings were old and deteriorated, litter strewn about the chipped sidewalks and graffiti covering alley walls. The area had a suspicious air to it, as if something was lurking around every corner...This definitely wasn't a very good place to be this late at night. Zim abruptly stood up, but realized...She didn't know what to do, or where to go. She had no whereabouts of the others, and no lead on how to stop the war. So the question was...
What now?

Yeah... I'm not going to come out with any sad tale of secrecy like Unex (sorry to hear about the loss, Unex's friend), so it here it is:

I quit.

It's not that I hate you guys or anything, but it's... well, a [I]time waster. My life is getting a lot out of hand, and this game isn't as important. If it was summer, then I would have maimed the reply button. But it's not, and I'm not going to rack my brain for 2-3 hours to advance in a FRPG. :S

So yeah, my story is coming out soon. It's a quick and easy send off for my character. As for my activity on this site, I'm thinking of letting it drop slowly. I'll probably come back on summer. But until then, I'm out of here.

TL;DR I'm leaving for the lulz.))

- Rusl? It's GDN. I'm heading towards your location at the moment.
- Ok... I'll be on the roof, be quick!

------------------------------------

GDN could see the base at the distance. There was some commotion at the roof of the main building.

"That must be him... He and his friends..."

Rusl noticed the approaching aircraft and tried to hold the enemies back. The miniguns on the side of the vehicle started to spin, and a blaze went throught the group just as Rusl ducked. The door of the vehicle was open, and more enemies were coming,

- Come on!!!

Rusl ran towards the door and jumped inside the aircraft. The guards tried to shoot it, but GDN was already manuevering his way out of there.

- So long scum! Uhh, no offense...
- No problem, they were getting annoying anyway...
- So... You were talking about an alliance? And Atari's files?
- Yeah... I got them with me. If you want to take a look...
- Let's worry more about getting to a safer airspace for now...

------------------------------------

The aircraft soared above the african deserts.

- I think we are safe by now... There's no way they could follow us this far.
- You're right... We should...

GDN looks at the fuel indicator. It's flashing red.

- Uh-oh, I think that I should have stopped at the last gas station...
- What's the nearest airport in the radar?
- There's this one: Main International Airport of Somalia. Do you think that they got fuel?
- Well, we need to land anyway... Step on it.

------------------------------------

The airport worker looked at the aircraft, GDN and Rusl waiting for his response.

- That's a nice plane you got there... But it got more holes than a sieve...
- Well, it's been difficult times... But this thing was uhh... Made for resisting everything. Except a lack of fuel. So do you guys got any fuel?
- Well, not at the moment... But a new shipment is expected to arrive at the night. If you are willing to wait, I can even fix the fuselage so it doesn't, ya know, leaks water...
- Very funny.

GDN and Rusl walked away.

- So, while we wait... Shall we talk business?
- Ok, so tell me, who are you exactly and why did you attack me back at Atlantic City?
- It's a long story...

------------------------------------

The two were now talking like old friends. They were walking around a rather poor and abandoned street. It was afternoon, but some grey clouds blocked the sun, leaving the atmosphere dark and heavy.

------------------------------------

A dark figure was peeking at them from a window covered with boards. GDN looked at its direction, but the figure moved away before he could be seen.

- What the... Whatever. So, you still haven't shown me the files.
- You didn't ask...
- Well, what do we have there then?

Some other figures were stalking them, hidden in dark places. GDN could barely pay attention to Rusl as he was constantly checking the buildings.

- ...We found out that Atari may have a connection... Hey, are you even listening to me?
- What? Yeah, go on.
- Well, in a nutshell, Atari and Nintendo had an intriguing past, much like Sony and Ascension.
- Are you suggesting that they may have a connection?
- Not really, but who knows?

GDN stops as he notices more movement around them. The street is quiet, a principle of rain falling from the sky.

- What's wrong with you?
- There's somebody watching us...
- I think that you're just paranoid...
- Paranoia is what keeps me alive, pal...
- I know right? It even resurrected you, didn't it?
- I tell you, I didn't ressurect! I just didn't die at all!
- Ok, ok, I'm going to pretend that I believe you...

GDN noticed a dark figure coming from the road ahead of them. He quickly hid behind a parked van, followed by Rusl.

- Wait, what are we hiding from?
- I don't know. Paranoia?

The two stopped as they heard steps coming closer. They stopped, and a girl voice could be heard:

- And now it rains... That's just great...
- Wait, I know that voice...
- *Yawn* Man, I'm so tired... Gotta stay awake...
- Zim?

The figure appeared in front of them. It was really Zim. She looked around, seemingly paranoid.

- Who is that? She looks as paranoid as you!
- It's Zim, a girl that fought by my side on the third war. I thought she was dead by now...

GDN slowly walked towards Zim while she was distracted. He approached her and poked her shoulder. She instantly turned around and knocked GDN to the ground, holding her cane to his neck.

- GDN??? What are you doing here???

Rusl appeared behind him, pointing a gun at Zim.

- Who's that? Your friend? And now you come to finish the job?
- Rusl, don't shoot! Zim, let go of me!
- I'm not putting away this gun until you let him go!
- Well, we can't reach an agreement now, can we?

The rain became heavier. A fog covered the streets.

- Zim, why won't you believe me?
- Ask me why would I believe anyone...
- GDN...
- DON'T!
- Why you hesitate so much, soldier? Just order him to shoot already!
- I can't... Zim, please...
- Oh, you ask ME... After what you done...
- Again, it wasn't me!
- Then who was? Because according to what I found it was you!
- Zim... Before this ends badly, can I tell you the real story?
- Whatever you say... But I'm afraid that won't help much...

------------------------------------

2 YEARS AGO
SOMEWHERE SOUTH OF MICROSOFT RESEARCH BASE NUMBER 2

- ...and then I told him to go take a bath, and he took that for an offense!
- Man, these sargeants are such douches!
- I know right! Still can't believe that you are getting to become one of them GDN!
- Well, better go up than down, right?

GDN was still a private by that time. Him and his squad were sent to find an ex-soldier suspected of having relationships with Microsoft. Their morale was down from their last sargeant, who died in battle. It was their first mission with the new sargeant.

- When I get my hands on this prick, I'm going to beat his face until it becomes larger than a watermellon!
- I didn't know you cared so much for our nation, Tony...
- And I don't! That traitor is the reason we didn't go home yesterday!
- Now you said something right...

They approached the village. The 6 soldiers were just stalking them from the woods. GDN asked:

- Why are we here? Shouldn't we just break inside the traitor's house and arrest him?
- Yeah, sarge, what are we waiting for?

The sargeant looked at the village with an evil grin on his face.

- That would be simply boring. I think we should get there and mow these Microsoftians for good!
- WHAT??? Are you out of your mind? They are civilians!
- So! We could totally own them!
- No! That would be a war crime!

The sargeant draws a pistol and points it at GDN's head.

- Listen, puny private... I've been waiting for a long time to get my hands on some Microsoft scum, and you guys aren't going to stop me!
- You are insane! War isn't like a toy for you to play with!
- Keep your knowledge for yourself, Gandhi. It's time for blood.

Against their will, the five soldiers roamed throught the village, shooting every being in sight, always under the aim of the sargeant, that was there, making sure that his "slaves" were doing the job right. That was the first time GDN had ever thought of killing a fellow soldier. But his conditioning as a soldier stopped him and his squadmates from doing so. The danger of being murdered helped.

When reinforcements arrived, the village was already destroyed. The captain asked what happened, and the sargeant said that the villagers were armed and they had to fight their way to the target. The captain asked the other soldiers, and they agreed. The sarge brought GDN to the captain and said:

- There's also one more thing I need to tell you: this guy here, GDN, he's a worthy soldier, captain. I think he truly deserves the sargeant rank.

The sargeant turned to GDN and whispered in his ear:

- I'm doing you a favor. Now, if you or your friends ever tell what happened here, be warned, I got friends. And they'll come for you.

GDN kept his mouth shut, and never revealed what happened that day to anyone. He was really naive back in that time.

A few months later, after the war, GDN got promoted to sargeant. In the cerimony, he received a flag with his name and rank, in golden letters, to show his new rank. In an act of respect, he went to the same village he was forced to destroy and burned his flag there, over the debris of a fallen house.

------------------------------------

BACK TO PRESENT
SOMEWHERE IN SOMALIA

- Do you believe me now Zim? A soldier that was forced to kill against his will?

((Is that ok for you Silver/Zim?))

GDN and Zim heard a hiss of air. They turned to Rusl to see him pop open a can of beer.

"Oh don't mind me, in fact, I'm intrigued. You two have the most ironic past I've ever heard." Rusl said as he started drinking.
"Where the hell did you get that?" GDN queried.
"There's a gas station down the street, I'm surprised you didn't notice me go down there. Then again you two have been staring at each other for the past couple minutes, kinda like two hungry dogs with one bowl of food." Rusl smirked, and gulped down more beer.
"Anyways continue on with your, little, um, peacemaking scene." Rusl said as he sat on the hood of the van.

((Anyways continue on with your little, um peace making scene.))

((As promised... and I have my OWN twists and stuff I need to be getting to as well before this wraps up...))

Unbeknown to the Chief and Sam, their little "sickling" decided to kick the bucket before making it to the nearest medic around them. That was 150 miles away from where they started.

"********* *gasp* John!!" Sam roared, albeit winded, "Of all the places *gasp* you chose *gasp* to hide, you *wheeze* chose the middle *gasp* of freakin' Canada..."
"Well, it sure proved to be a good hiding spot," the Chief replied, unphased by his brisk walk, "I was never found."
"Yeah, can you let me down now?" Jason obnoxiously asked, still slung over the Chief's shoulder, "I've been out for quite a while now aaand... I gotta pee."
"Alright then, princess," the Chief replied, promptly dropping the rookie, "Your fat a** was beginning to make my shoulder numb anyways."
The three travelers walked up to the dainty cabin, though depending on your tastes in architectural integrity its state of stability could range from mediocre to down-right unstable. The wooden shingles rot and hang off the rotted roof, and all the soot that covers the chimney seems to have been set in stone long ago, maybe even before you were born. Moss covers one side, and the door looks as though it hasn't been touched for years. Whatever "medic" the Chief was looking for... seemed to be long gone. But, just as Sam is about to knock on the door, the door itself swings wide open, knocking the spy onto his back and dropping the infected kid. And just as he's about to spring back up, his face is greeted by the large end of an 8-gauge shotgun. Apparently, this residence doesn't take kindly to strangers.
"Reckon you want your head shot off, eh?" the cranky woodsman growled, his voice sounding harsh but surprisingly smooth, "Punks like you ought to be shot right on the spot..."
"But then there's the 'I-have-the-bigger-gun' factor," the Chief responded, with his Spartan Laser already drawn out and aimed at the Canadian's head.
"Ohh..." the woodsman mumbled, lowering his aim, "It's been a while since I've seen one of those..."
The trio walked inside behind the woodsman, looking around the tiny space. From the looks of things, first appearances can be deceiving: inside, they were greeted by a welcoming fireplace, roaring quietly with a large fire in its belly. Copper pots, pans and other kitchenware was strung up on the walls, glistening by the glow of an oil lamp. An oak table laid in the middle of the single-room shanty, with lavish hand-made oak chairs surrounding its wide surface. The only disappointing thing that could be said was the woodsman's bed, for it was nothing more than a twin-sized thing.
Under the glow of the light, the woodsman's features became more prominent. His hair was well maintained for someone of his craft, with trimmed eyebrows and a well-maintained beard. His face was rather clean, and he bore no scars or blemishes. His eyes caught your attention immediately, for you could tell that they were filled with the spark of innovation and passion, a spark that hasn't been seen since...
"Lay the sickling down over here," the woodsman directed, nearly reading Sam's mind, "So I can get a good look over 'em."
Sam laid the limp body on the large table, his arms dangling off the sides like a limp noodle. The so-called "medic" surveyed his condition, doing everything from opening his eyelids to checking his temperature to even testing his reflexes... which were none. Satisfied, the woodsman suddenly quick-draws his 8-gauge and shoots off Richard's head at point blank, his cranium making a spectacular and bloody explosion all over the room.
"WHAT THE *******?!!" Sam screamed, covering his face from the bloody splatter, "HE WAS ONLY SICK!!!"
"He was DEAD, Sam," the woodsman growled, "There was no point in keeping his body around unless you wanted to turn him into a zombie. In which case, I shot his head off just in case."
"Huh? how did you know my na-"
"Now SCRAM. I have better things to do than deal with punks like you..."
"Well, by all means sir," Jason replied, though clearly scared, "We'll be out of your beard hair in no-time..."
But, just as Jason was about to make it for the door, the woodsman senses something, and immediately runs for the Elite.
"GET DOWN!!" the woodsman shouted, tackling Jason just as a blast of pure energy tore through the door. Chief & Sam also hit the floor, as more shots and blasts shredded through the tiny cabin, incinerating everything that got in their paths. Waving his hand up as a signal, the Chief & others scramble to their feet and run out of the cabin, just as a large bomb engulfs the small shack in a glorious and snowy explosion.
"*********!!" the woodsman roared, "That's all I had left!!"
Just as he said that, a random shot takes him out, sending him sprawling in the snow for a good distance. The others scramble for cover around the cabin, with the Chief & Sam ducking behind a rock and Jason rolling to behind a tree. The shots at that moment stopped, giving Sam & Chief a good few seconds to survey their attacker... who turned out to be the Arbiter, whose flying a Banshee a couple meters above the snowy ground.
"By orders of the Presidency," Arbiter growled, "You are hereby to be terminated, Master Chief..."
"GOD-*********, ARBY!!" the Chief roared back, "You sided with Joe too?!!"
"I had no choice, John," Arbiter somberly replied, "And now I have to kill you. Sorry..."
With that being said, Arby unleashes a barrage of cannon- and gunfire, cratering the entire area and kicking up snow and dirt. Jason couldn't do anything but watch from his woody cover, praying that Arby doesn't find him as well. But, just as he thought that the Chief was dead, a charged Spartan Laser shoots out from the snowy cover, nearly nailing the Banshee. And just as Arby was gonna finish off the duo... his systems are overrode. All monitors and indicators turn off, and the Banshee itself powers down. How this is happening while the vehicle still suspends itself in the air was a mystery until...
"Joe. Of all of the evil names I've heard in my lifetime, Microsoft is taken over by a man named... Joe. *Sigh*, you guys really are desperate..."
The Banshee is turned around in the air, now facing the woodsman, who has his hands drawn out in front of him. His look had changed radically, as his thick jacket and denim jeans have burned away, revealing a spectacular white suit underneath. His beard is all but gone, replaced by a finely trimmed goatee. His eyes were glowing green, but now with a flashing blue light in the middle of his right pupil. Moving his hand ever-so gingerly, he lowers the Banshee to his eye level, facing the Arbiter face-to-face. Overwhelmed with fear, excitement and shock, all Arby could do was cry, which in turn made the man lower the aircraft to the ground. Sam , Jason & the Chief emerge from their now-ruined cover, whose faces are turned to shock as they also watch the scene unfold.

Jack's back.

((Hmm... let's follow that up.))

Jack casually lifted his hand, which lifted the hatch on the Banshee. Arby immediately sprang out and bear-hugged the President, lifting him high into the air.
"YOU'RE ALIVE!!" Arby bellowed, squeezing Jack tighter, "Bless be the stars, you're alive!!"
"Yeah, yeah, that's great-" Jack squeaked, being slowly squished by the alien's masculine grip, "Now can you pleeease let go of me? Because I'm suffocating here."
Arby let go of Jack, dropping him back to his feet. Jack dusts himself off, only to be immediately dog-piled by Sam and Jason.
"You're back!!" Sam praised, kissing his President on the cheek several times, "I can't believe *kiss*- no homo- you're back!"
"Well, it took you long enough, sir!!" Jason hollered, squeezing onto his leg, "We were all getting worried that-"
Suddenly, Master Chief hauls all three of them up and gives them a big hug, squishing them just like Arby did earlier.
"You finally came back," the Chief spoke, squeezing harder.
"Please... Chiefy..." Jason mumbled, starting to suffocate.
"Do you mind, John?" Sam squeaked, poking the Chief's visor.
"Oh," the Chief blurted, suddenly realizing the situation, "Sorry."
The Chief lowered & let go of the trio, settling back down to a reserved happiness.
"So, Jack..." Sam started, "What happened?"
"Well, Arby here was blasting away at you guys," Jack began, "And, seeing you guys in danger, I thought I'd step in and-"
"Not that," Sam corrected, "What happened back then at the Sony base long ago. When you... vanished."
Jack stared the Elite down, his face now turning serious. The others give Jack space, backing up a few feet.
"We won't speak of that here, Sam," Jack growled, his right eye briefly flashing red, "Not at this time."
"Yes sir," Sam replied, rather quiet, "Sorry I asked."
"Apology accepted," Jack quickly spoke, now rather chipper, "So... what happened while I was gone?"
"Madness," Arby spoke, "Nothing but pure madness..."
"Well, I can tell," Jack replied, walking over to Jason and rubbing his head, "This young'n got promoted!"
"This new guy, Joe..." the Chief continued, "He's a madman. His policies are tyrannical, and his methods... dear God, I can't even begin to list all of the atrocities he's done. We're talking about slaughter, destruction, anarchy-"
"Doesn't sound too different than what I did," Jack replied, rather subtle, "And from my observations, he hasn't even used the Halo yet. I don't see the concern in this guy as of-"
"And he's got Sony hanging by a thread," the Chief finished, "Those 'kids' that saved Earth a while back... they're being hunted down. And their base... it's under his jurisdiction now."
"... the one in Sao Paulo?" Jack spoke, now rather shocked, "But I thought that was under Horatio's-"
"We haven't heard from him in months, sir," Sam intervened, "And our best guess is that Joe killed him off as well..."
"What about the others?" Jack continued to ask, "What about Frank? Mercuy? Swweet?"
"Can't say, sir," Sam spoke, "They disappeared long ago as well. Marcus too, ever since that raid in Sao Paulo."
"And..." the Chief started, trying to hold back his emotions, "They killed Natalie. She's dead, Jack... dead."
Jack turned to Chief, with tears beginning to stream down his face. But, much to the group's surprise, Jack turned away and began walking into the woods.
"Jack?" Jason called out, "Where are you going?"
"I can't do it," Jack spoke, as the others began following him, "I just can't."
"Oh please, don't tell me you're running away?!!" Sam roared, "After all of this bulls***, you're just gonna p**** out?!"
"It's more complicated than that, Sam!" Jack shouted back, "You ought to know; you were there!!"
"That was a long time ago!!" the Chief called out, "This is a new war now, a new threat!! We can't POSSIBLY do it without you!!"
"Does he have my powers?! Does he control my armies?!! DOES HE RUN MICROSOFT?!!!" Jack roared, silencing the others, "Then FORGET IT!!"
"But WHY, Jack?!!" Arby snapped, "WHY?!!"
"... Because then I'd fall back into old habits," Jack quietly replied, "Too many young lives would be lost... including those Sony heroes. And I just can't bear the thought of seeing those kids dead... by my hands."
And just as he appeared to them, he warped just as suddenly, losing himself once more.
"... We've lost," the Chief spoke, "It's over."

((Toast incoming))

Zeta thought if she was going to make a escape attempt, she had better make it now. She had decided she didn't want to find out where she was going.

Without warning she struck out, punching the guard's gun from his hands. Cursing herself she felt a sharp pain in her knuckles. Maybe a bit less direct surprise attack next time.
She didn't stop though, kicking backwards just as the second guard reacted. She kicked his gun away and loaded the other at the same time, shooting the final guard point blank. Alarms went off all over the facility. Uh oh, looks like I was being monitored.

She hesitated a second before running back the way she had came. Zeta realised why she had been drilled mercilessly to memorise routes wherever she was taken. Right, left, left, right. Back to the command centre...

Unfortunately luck was still against her, as she rounded the final corner she saw the elite. But surprise was on her side, and before he could draw his weapon she barrelled straight into him. As he froze in shock on the ground she stamped down hard on his foot, and something cracked. Amateur. Never underestimate your opponent.

She ran into the room, grabbed the chip without looking down and sprinted for the exit. Just as she reached it the doors slammed shut. Spinning round Zeta saw the elite, leaning heavily on the wall, his palm still on the lock switch. He grinned hysterically through the pain.

'You don't understand. You can't win. We have control over all Nintendo. ...We will be more than any company ever was.' He rasped, spitting blood from where she had hit him.

Zeta didn't pause to digest what he had said. That didn't matter now, what mattered was he was sitting target. But a sitting target with a hand now on the control panel. Specifically, a big red button. A big red button. I doubt they make them to turn on coffee dispensers.

'It doesn't matter if I destroy this place. You think this is all we have? You ..think?...' His voice dissolved into a raking splutter.

Ew, blood drool. Lovely. Backing off Zeta felt in her pocket. The hacking device. Under her breath she whispered,

'Destroy.'

The voice control activated the devices final mode. Every electrical object exploded, every computer crashed and every byte of information was wiped from reality. With a yell of anger the elite slammed his hand into the button, but all that sounded was a dull thunk. Zeta mentally reminded herself to laugh about that later, then shoved open the doors, now useless.

Under the cover of darkness, she ran.

Rusl felt a vibration in his pocket. He reached in and pulled out his phone. As he spectated GDN's and Zim's moment, which seemed to last days, ((I wonder why I am such a ****)) he looked at his phone.

Section 53 of Nintendo Mainframe has crashed

Rusl read the blaring words on the screen of his phone. He gathered up all the information he had gained during his introductory course into being a Nintendo Elite. Rusl began thinking to himself.

"Section 53, that would be... The same section that last base I was visiting was connected to." Rusl realized.
"Looks like it was a good thing I managed to get those files. Otherwise those fools would have deleted my only chance of beating Microsoft." Rusl thought, frustrated.

Rusl's train of thought was derailed when he heard a piercing yell of anger. It was Zim and GDN once again, continuing with their feud.

((Sorry for the delay))

"Why should I trust you? That could have been made up on the spot. But even if it was true, you still could have done something."
GDN held his hands up in defense, Zim's cane still hooked around his neck. He shot Rusl a look, hoping he could help somehow, but he was busy with his phone.
"Look, I - "
"Don't bother."
Zim dropped him and put away her cane, fastening it to her backpack. GDN sat back on his knees and rubbed the back of his neck apprehensively. As he was about to stand up, he heard a rustling noise from the far end of the street, and seconds later noticed several shadows in the alley nearby. The scene suddenly became even more eerie, the streetlamps beginning to flicker every few seconds and the light fog seeming to grow thicker. Zim interrupted his train of thought.
"What's more important, GDN...the life of one, or the lives of many?"
At that moment, GDN remembered what he'd said back when he was with Peter, seconds away from being executed by Microsoft. He looked at the airport sign reading 'Somalia', recalling the brief conversation he'd had with Joe. His eyes widened as he caught a glimpse of several shadows along the rooftops. GDN got to his feet and quickly glanced up near the top of the building they were standing next to.
"Rusl, Zim...We need to get out of here...NOW."
Zim grew even more frustrated as he said this.
"What?! You're not going to get away from this problem so easily, GDN! I told you, I'd - "
They all heard a loud thump as several dark figures jumped down from the roof of the building and landed on the rough sidewalk, surrounding the three of them. All six of them were clad in pitch black outfits and gear, a green X symbol glowing dimly in the center of their chestplates - They were a Microsoft elite squad.

- Do you trust me now?
- Open your eyes, GDN, I'm never...
- I'm talking about them...

GDN placed his hand on his pistol, ready to draw and fire. Zim held her cane in defensive stance and Rusl was ready to fire too.

- Why are they so quiet?
- I don't know...

Suddenly, one of them charged towards GDN, followed by the others. He quickly drew his pistol and fired, but the bullets did no damage against him. He jumped and unholstered a knife in mid-air, preparing to deliver a fatal blow. GDN defended himself with the shoulder armor, knocking the elite back.

- GDN LOOK OUT!!!

Another elite approached from behind, but got stopped by Rusl with a bullet in his head.

- They die if you hit them in the head!
- Congratulations, you are ready to become a commander...
- Will the two guys stop chatting and fight?

The other elites began their attack. The three tried their best to hold them off, but there were too many of them, and they had to hide inside an old hotel building next to them.

-----------------------------------

The elites searched the hotel for them, rolling tables over, opening every cabinet, looking everywhere. The three had hidden in an apartment on the higher floor. Rusl was near the door, trying to hear their footsteps throught the wood.

- I can feel them coming... They must be on the floor below us!

GDN was checking the apartment, while Zim was sitting on the bed.

- So, what are you expecting to find? A gun? A bomb? Hey, maybe you could find a better story to tell me!
- Zim, would you kindly shut up? It looks like that the owner of this room was a bit... Peculiar.

Zim looks at the equations written on the walls and the components scattered on the desk. GDN opened a drawer and found a small device (http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20100322011341/bioshock/images/e/e9/Hack_tool_diagram.png)in it, next to some strange-looking darts with sparks inside them. Rusl appeared at the door.

- Hush, you two look like a father and daughter having an argument!
- Don't worry... I'm sure commander there got rid of my actual one...
- Zim, it's not going to help if you keep mentioning that! I'm trying to figure out what this thing does...
- Who said that I was trying to help?
- Well, you might as well help yourself and be a little more quieter...

The noise of the door getting kicked down was the next thing they could hear.

- Too late... Now we're screwed...

GDN placed the device on top of his wrist and headed for the door. He could see five elites heading for him. He suddenly showed up in front of them and shot a dart at the soldier, hitting him on his C4 detonator. That just resulted in them opening fire. GDN got behind the wall and tried to formulate a plan.

- Way to go soldier! You always screw things up!
- Zim, please...
- Hey GDN, what's with that thing on your hand? Its keys are flashing!
- Hmm...

GDN pressed the keys randomly, and then the C4 on the elite's belt detonated, opening a large hole on the floor.

- WHAT THE...
- Strange, I just hit a soldier with this on his detonator... Well, let's get out of here before they realize what happened!

The group jumped down the hole to the apartment below.

(( Not the best at coming up with stuff on the spot. I needs ma thinkin' time. ))

“Do you always get that lucky or is it just occasionally?” Rusl questioned GDN as the group sprinted out of the building.

Despite tearing a whole through the thick floor of the hotel, an elite still gave chase. Rusl turned and looked at the masked elite. Rusl stopped in his tracks.

“I took out one guy easy, I can get rid of this one too.” Rusl overconfidently declared.
“Rusl…” GDN said, annoyed.
“Hey, big guy!” Rusl shouted at the elite. The Microsoft minion stopped in his tracks.
“How bout’ we drop the weapons and do this the old fashioned way! Mano y mano!” Rusl proposed as he took his pistol and threw it over the roof of a nearby building.

The elite did not speak and pulled out his pistol. Before the elite pulled the trigger, Rusl was able to roll out of the way, and towards the elite. He grabbed the elite’s wrist and twisted his arm around, the soldier had no choice but to drop the weapon. Rusl then gave the elite a swift blow to the head with the pistol. As the Microsoftian fell, Rusl lofted the gun over another roof. Rusl then reached down for the soldier. The elite was able to push Rusl away, knocking him back a few feet. When Rusl fell to the ground, he quickly sprung up and revealed that he had stolen the rest of the elite’s weaponry, which was all held by one belt. Rusl tossed the belt as far as he could and stared down the Microsoft elite. The soldier still had his mask on, but Rusl could feel the anger just emanating from the elite.
The elite charged forward with a loud yell of rage. Rusl sidestepped him and got a hold of the elite’s head. Rusl tried to give him a few swift knees, but the elite picked him up in a fireman’s carry.

“Rusl!” GDN said as he began to move forward. Zim blocked him however.
“He wants to be stupid and do it himself, let the little punk get his butt kicked.” Zim said.

Rusl escaped the elite's clutches and kicked him away to get space. After another staredown of male pride, they continued the duel. Like two heavyweight boxers, they ducked and blocked the other’s hits. However, every now and then, one would land a hard blow. Whether it was a solid right hook that could shatter someone’s jaw, or a swift kicks to the abdomen, that could leave nasty bruises and break a few ribs. Eventually, the elite put all of his power into a roundhouse kick. Rusl saw it a mile away and ducked. His opponent was exposed and Rusl gave a strong uppercut to his off-balance opponent. The elite was knocked down, but Rusl had to finish the fight. He punch the elite’s chest and revealed a wiimote. He pressed a single button and a combination of red and blue energy sprang out and impaled the dazed elite. Rusl pressed another button and the sword retracted. He wiped some blood off his face and looked down at his deceased opponent.

“No weapons? Sorry, I forgot” Rusl said with a smirk.

As GDN and Zim gathered around the dead soldier, Rusl pulled off the mask of the elite. What they saw looked like an ordinary human, except his face was pale green.

“This doesn’t look like a Microsoftian to me.” Rusl exclaimed.
“No… It’s a Sony race. The Heck-ghat or something like that.” GDN explained.
“Helghast genius. They’re Helghast.” Zim corrected.
“They’re a small minority, we usually keep them away from major cities, they’re a violent race.” Zim continued.
“Well, looks like Joe struck a deal with em‘.” Rusl stated. He threw the mask down to the ground.
“Your country’s falling to pieces. You need to act quick. ” Rusl explained.

After a long pause, Zim spoke up.
“Helghast don’t stay unconscious for long. We better discuss this elsewhere.”

The three agreed and retraced their steps back to the aircraft.

((So, what about we forget these issues and read my post?))

The group arrived at the airport. The guy that fixed their aircraft was almost closing the hangar and leaving, when he saw GDN running towards him. He smiled and began to open the hangar, revealing the aircraft there, shining like new.

- Is that your ride, GDN?
- Yes, it is. We are going back to S?o Paulo.
- Why? Oh, wait, lemme guess. To burn it down to the ground and kill everyone?
- That's not funny, Zim... Microsoft's already done that...
- Oh... Well...

Zim got interrupted by the sound of gunfire coming from the other side of the runway.

- Wha?
- Damm, these guys are everywhere! Get inside!

The worker hid behind the craft, scared.

- They don't pay me enough for this!

The door closed and the thrusters turned on. In no time, the vehicle was speeding out of the hangar, passing right above the Helghast. They looked at the dot in the distance, then one of them slapped another.

- Stupid! You let them go!
- Gimme a break! They were in a freaking fighter!
- Yeah, now try to tell that to Joe. He'll hang you from a streetlight when we get back!

((Now it would be a good time to wait for CS and Merc. No pressure intended.))

((Give the wounds some time to heal is all I say. Wouldn't want to run into the same situation that happened in the TCW3...))

Quiet. Still. Peaceful... or, well, at least in Joe's perspective. The office laid in a somber state, with only the noisy snores of the sleeping President filling the void. For once, the space was at peace. But only for a little while...

What's that saying? Don't poke sleeping bears?

Suddenly, the front doors swing wide open, jolting Joe awake and making him tumble backwards out of his chair. Almost immediately, the now-enraged man springs back up and is about to employ his Kinect... but then stops himself once noticing Arby an the others apprehended and bound.
"Here's your fugitives, sir," Arby growled, though with a slight disgust, "Happy?"
"About ******* time, s***bag," Joe snapped back, "You're slower than an update on the Playstation 3."
"Yeah, let's get this over with," Sam spoke, "Give us the 'awful punishments' you're about to bestow on us..."
"Oh, you already knew?" Joe replied, rather surprised.
"You're getting mind-numbingly predictable, Joe," the Chief growled, "This happens with EVERYONE who walks into this room."
"Not true," Joe snapped back, "There's Ashley."
"Pardon my French, but she's practically your *********, sir," Jason responded, "And you know it."
Joe was about to respond, but wisely stops himself.
"Now, if you'll excuse me," Arby hissed, "I'll be leaving."
However, just as Arby was about to walk towards the doors, they suddenly slam close and are sealed over with a white, impenetrable wall. The shackles and restraints on the other 3 members almost immediately fall off, only to be replaced by electrical tendrils that wrap around their ankles and wrists. The new restraints sent a tsunami of voltages through the 3 subjects, dropping them to their knees in agony. Arby desperately looks at them, only to notice Joe staring straight at him with a wild eye and a nefarious smile. His eyes were not just flashing red... they were completely red. So red that he shoots a vile beam from them, nailing Arby and sending him flying to one side of the room.
"At first, I thought of just killing you pests," Joe began, his eyes now smoking from the blast, "But then, I had an idea... something better."
"JESUS CHRIST!!" Sam shouted, "Where the H*** did you get THAT from?!"
"That knucklehead friend of yours left that syringe in his pants pocket," Joe cooed back, "Heh, he must've liked X-Men too."
"Jack..." Chief moaned, lowering his head.
"Right-O, Johnny," Joe snapped, "Besides... I know what happened back there. You finally found him."
Joe begins clapping, only smiling ever-more wildly...
"Congratulations..." Joe snickered, rather melancholy, "You scared him away! You won't BELIEVE how happy I was to hear about that!!"
"Wha-what?!" Jason blurted, "H-how do y-you kn-now?!"
At this question, Joe grasps his hands around the young Elite's head, channeling his thoughts into his.
"Hear this?" Joe thought to him, "It's your President speaking."
Jason immediately shook his head away, only to be electrified in response.
"Surprised, aren't you?!" Joe spoke loudly, growing ever-more manic.
"You... YOU ******* MONSTER!!" the Chief roared, about to lunge for Joe. However, the tendrils tighten and pin him to the floor, sending even more volts through his armor.
"MUCH MORE!!" Joe cackled, now completely insane, "And NOTHING compared to what I'M gonna make you DO..."
At that, Joe snapped his fingers, activating various robot appendages to sprout from the floor. Immediately, they begin encasing the four in grim, black armor pieces, causing much pain as they disregard all safety procedures and openly weld and fuse the pieces together.
"Your mission now, whether you like it or not," Joe commanded, "Is now to personally locate and KILL those Sony dogs. And-"
Suddenly, a message pops up on Joe's computer screeen
"Look at that!" Joe blurted, "Intel!"
Joe gleefully springs back to his desk, furiously searching away on his screen.
"Oh! Speaking of those Sony ********," Joe called out, "Two of them just hijacked a plane and are heading toward Brazil. KILL THEM. KILL THEM SLOWLY... AND PAINFULLY."
At this moment, the Elite squad, now fully encased in their robotic tombs, stand at attention, with their eyes glowing green and their faces expressionless.
"AT YOUR COMMAND, SIR," the quartet responded, saluting their master.

((Quietly continuing with my story amongst the epicness.

I have some catching up to do.))

Zeta escaped the compound without much difficulty, the power was out and the elites plan was back-firing. There was still a lack of guards thanks to orders. She ran out of the darkness into the cool light of dusk. She looked back carefully at the rest of the base, still lit up. She thought whether to go back, but she didn't know whether the rest of their temporary team was still inside. Zeta hoped they had escaped, but couldn't spare it much thought. C'mon, we have a war to win. Think later. For now she had to get this information back.

To where? Nintendo is corrupt, what can I do? Zeta realised the only way she could find out what about the data was to give herself up to Sony. Well, I am getting quite experienced at being a prisoner. The General would be proud. She thought sardonically.

"LAURA!"
"What?"
"I've got a plan to take back the city"
"Really? What is it?"
"No time to explain, we have to go while we still have the cover of night."
"I don't really believe you, nor do I want to go out there with Microsoft patrolling the streets, but I guess we can't sit here all day."
Mercuy picked up his favourite rifle, and Laura jumped up out of her seat and grabbed an SMG off a rack as 2 of the Sony troops enterred the room.
"Hey, where are you two going?"
"Taking back the city."
"HA. I'd love to see you two do this on your own."
"Come with us then."
"No, it's alright, we don't need them Laura."
"Are you sure you're feeling alright?"
"I'm fine Laura, you just have to trust me on this one."
"I never said I didn't trust you."
"Good then. Hey, you two over there, stay here and keep the radios on, we might need help later."
"Sure, whatever."
"Also tell Peter where we went when he wakes up." ((k?))
"Got it."
"And see if you can get a hold of GDN, will you?"
"Anything else?"
"Sammich."

GDN heard static coming from his radio.

- Rusl, can you pilot this for a second? Someone's calling.
- No problemo!

GDN tuned the radio until he could hear a voice calling him.

- GDN? Are you there?
- GDN here, who is it?
- We are warning you that the Microsoft guy said that he has a plan on taking back the city.
- Merc, right? What is his plan?
- He didn't say. He just left with his girlfriend.
- Oh. And how are Peter and Diana doing?
- Diana is fine, we haven't seen Peter lately...
- Alright, I'm almost there. GDN out.

GDN put the radio away, noticing that Zim was in front of him, watching.

- What happened?
- Merc has a plan to take back S?o Paulo. Or so he says...
- He realizes that Microsoft dominated the entire city, right? One can't just fight to get it back...
- I think he does. He hasn't shown any signs of insanity until now.

Zim held a little laugh.

- *ahem* So, who's that "Diana" you talked about?
- She? She's... A friend, that's what she is.
- A friend? Really?
- Yeah, a friend! What else?
- I dunno...

GDN asked Rusl to give him the ship's controls back.

- Awww, I was just getting the hang of this!
- Don't even mind. We're back.

Mercuy poked his head out of the bunker to see a calm street with few streetlights still working, and a few MS Helghast patrolling on the other end of the street. Under the cover of night he emerged from the hole and signalled Laura to follow as he quickly ducked into another alleyway, and from there the lobby of a vacant building as the soldiers moved away and a tank moved closer.
"Feel like telling me the plan now Mercuy?"
"I'll give you the short version. Step 1, get to the HQ un-noticed. Step 2, find the universal broadcast station, and step 3, unite all remaining forces."
"Easier said than done i'm afraid."
"Hear me out, the universal broadcast station in the HQ has a comms link to every radio in Sony. If we notify them of the situation, we can regroup and kick the front door in on Microsoft."
"That actually might work."
"Glad you believe me now."
"One problem though, it might take a while to get the whole army in position, how are we going to last that long in a Microsoft infested base?"
"Well, after that big plan, i'm in the mood to improvise."
Laura let out a sigh and peered back out of the window to see the medium sized tank roll off and back into the darkness of the streets.
"It's gone, lets keep moving."
Mercuy started to follow her as she headed for the streets, but his communicator crackled to life and Rusl's voice came on.
"Mercuy? you there?"
"Im here Rusl." Mercuy tried to keep his voice in a low tone, as to not alert any MS troops who may pass by.
"Heard you got a plan to take back the city."
"That I do, is there anyone with you?"
"GDN and Zim are with me, on approach to the city now."
"Alright, try to keep a low profile."
"Might be hard trying to land a plane, but we'll try."
"Got it, keep in touch. Mercuy out."
"Who was that?"
"Rusl, him, GDN and Zim are almost here. Might make the plan easier. How much further to the HQ?"
"Probably about a kilometer."
"Good."
With that, the pair continued to stay in the shadows as they advanced towards the Sony headquarters.

((You can do what you want here, doesn't really make that much of a difference, just don't blow my cover.))

((Post. Problem?))

Not far from there, an aircraft landed on top of a building and out of it came out GDN, Zim and Rusl.

- Looks like we managed to land without attracting much attention...
- Well, then we better rendezvous with Merc.
- We'll do that, but first let's take Zim to the hideout.
- Hey! Why can't I come with you? What are you two up to?
- Nothing! I just don't want to get you into trouble, kid...
- I am not a child! I can take care of myself, and you know that!
- Listen, we need to get there anyway and take note of where Merc and Laura headed.

The three began to make their way down the building, while some patrols passed on the street below.

--------------------------------

GDN poked his head out the door to see if the area was clear, but some soldiers were patrolling the avenue, followed by a tank. GDN quickly closed the door and sat by the wall, next to the other two.

- So?
- There's too many soldiers, we can't go out there.
- Great. That means we're trapped in there?
- Well, we can exit throught the back door, right?
- I think we could do that...

They got out through a door that led to another building's rooftop. GDN looked around, while Zim kept her eye on the street below, where the patrol they saw previoulsy was passing.

- There it is. That's the building where our hideout is.

GDN pointed at the tall office building, located a few blocks away from their location.

- So, how are we going to get there? The streets around here are too crowded, I can't understand how Merc could go out at a time like this...
- Well, he's got his problems, we got ours. Let's get moving.

GDN saw a wire going from their building to another one across the street.

- Hey, that wire, it's our ticket outta here!

GDN drew his pistol and used it to zipline above the street and onto the roof of the other building.

- Now that was a crazy idea, does he always have crazy ideas?
- I don't know what you are talking about.

Zim jumped and hooked her cane to the wire. Soon she was at the other side of the street.

((PROCEEDING...))

- Fine...
Rusl ziplined across the street and the three gathered by the edge of the building. A helicopter was flying around the large office building, probably looking for something.
- That isn't good... That helicopter is too close to our hideout...
- Don't forget that it is too close to us too!
- That's why we should keep going. - Said GDN as he jumped to another roof.
The helicopter circled around and landed on a building nearby, as the three made their way throught the roof of the buildings.
- Look, just one more block and we're there!
- Nice, hopefully we won't run into any... - Rusl's sentence got interrupted by gunfire coming from the building the helicopter just landed.
They took cover by a small wall and began to fire back at the attackers. GDN tried to line a shot, but a bullet hit him in the leg.
- AW!! Go**********!
- We are going to get torn to pieces if you keep trying to do this the hard way, GDN...
Zim took a grenade from GDN's waist and threw it at the building. It opened a crater on the fragile structure, sending the microsoftians down below with a pile of rubble.
- Well then, good thinking... Ow, hey, do you got a pair of pliers with you?
- I think I do... - Zim searched her backpack and handed over GDN the tool he asked.
GDN looked at his leg. The bullet didn't go too deep. He used the pliers to take it off, then handed them back to Zim.
- Uhh, you can keep it...
- I don't think that's good for your health, mister...
- Well, it didn't belong to me anyway...
- So, we should proceed, now that we are clear.
- Sure. God, my leg is hurting...

((Just continuing a bit.))

An hour's travelling later: East Sony Base

Zeta sat somewhat bedraggled in a slightly fancier interrogation room. She was occupying herself moodily trying to work out when she had last slept for more than 5 consecutive minutes. She had managed to get herself an immediate meeting with a commander, with the promise of information on Nintendo.

He came in, with the usual routine firing of rhetorical questions intended to intimidate the convict. Zeta stopped him mid-sentence,

'I am sorry to interrupt commander, but there is a war on and I think I have the only way of you winning it.'

The commander blinked, 'Against Nintendo? I doubt you can give me enough information for that young lady.'

Zeta gritted her teeth and continued, 'Sir, not just Nintendo. Microsoft. They are extremely powerful at the moment and you know it. Nintendo has been working on something that could defeat them, but they are turning against us. We need to work together stop Atari and Microsoft or both our companies are doomed.'

'Atari? That exists? What proof do you have of this?' The commander was sceptical, but Zeta saw intense curiosity in his eyes.

With difficulty she handed over the memory-chip she had spent so long obtaining. The commander studied the Atari logo closely, then slotted it into his computer.

From the other side of the table Zeta saw his eyes widen at the information scrolling down his monitor.

'You have been working on all this behind our backs?' He said with something like greed in his voice.

'Not many officials in Nintendo knew about this either, but its powerful enough to swing this war around.' Zeta said briskly. 'Now, will you help me?'

((Not quite sure what to do next though.

I am open for ideas at the moment.))

((Okay ...Wait, where exactly are you going to be Blue?))

((This next post will fast forward a bit in the story (skipping to where Blue and Navy have found what they're looking for) and will be very epic. Afterwards, I'm going to try to meet up with Zeta and Rusl, and hopefully have my Nintendo teammates working with me for the rest of the story.

((I'm just followin' orders))

http://ep1.half-life2.com/img/desktops/desktop7_1600x.jpgThere, it's summer so I can be more active now. Hurray.

I made some serious toast now. I turned them into chapters because it's pretty long (consider it my way of making up for my long inactivity). There's more to come, so don't think I'll just cut it off from here. However, I want to stop toasting for a while, give or take a day or two. This took up a lot of my time, and I really want to get back to playing one of my favorite game series.

So, if you will excuse me, I'm going to go play Half Life 2: Episode 1 now.

Oh yeah, and I'm back on LBPC. Woot.

Current Situation
http://img3.fotoalbum.virgilio.it/v/www1-5/149/149625/245645/sony_ericsson_black_diamond_3-vi.gifJust Another Day

Peter grabbed the documents on the table one las time and re-read them. He just couldn't understand the directions it contained. After a minute of silent reading, Peter laid the papers back onto the table, sighing once again at his failed attempt to understand how this mechanism worked. He looked up to it, the enormous machine that had brought him and Diana here in the first place.

A moment passed before Diana spoke.

Diana: "So, have you figured it out yet?"
Peter: "No. It keeps mentioning something about an electric charge of 3.5 gigawatt."
Diana: "What?"
Peter: "In other words, we need a very powerful electrical current. But problem is, that's impossible!"
Diana: "Why?"
Peter: "It's like a lightning bolt. How the hell do we get lightning to strike this", he says pointing to the machine "big *** thing?"

Both remained silent in frustration. Finally, Diana broke the silence.

Diana: "What now?"
Peter: "Well, the usual.... Search for any survivors and pray they know of something."

And with that, Peter and Diana grabbed their rifles and headed towards the steel door across the room, thinking "How the hell did we get here?"

*************

Flashback Sequence 1

http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3155/2310545314_b562571ecd.jpgTaking Leave

It has been a long time since Peter has left the bunker. After Diana, GDN, and him entered the bunker, things have picked up at the overrun Sony base. Fearing the worse, GDN left Diana to Peter, both remaining in the bunker while GDN took off. Allies came and went, but Peter remained inside the bunker with Diana, tired and deep in thoughts throughout the whole time.

His success in rescuing GDN was a great achievement for him, but he was so drained of energy that he needed rest. His wounds were healing, but they weren't ready to face the hard gritty work of war. As Peter stayed in the bunker, he concentrated himself on figuring out how to stop the war from escalating. He couldn't think of much, because most of his connections to the news outside were cut off, so his only option was to guess the situations occurring.

Suddenly, however, after yet another boring day of sitting and pondering about the war, Peter stood up and began walking towards the bunker's door.

Diana: "Peter, where're you going?"
Peter: "I had enough of this. GDN hasn't returned, which means something's up. I'm bored as **** here, and I feel completely useless unless I do something."
Diana: "But you don't even know where to start. MS is heavy in security around the base."
Peter: "Does it matter? I'm better off doing something than nothing."

As Peter to open the door, Diana stood up too.

Diana: "He'll be ****** you know."
Peter: "As would I if you don't let take my leave now."
Diana: "Well you can't leave me here by myself. Even I need to do something instead of sitting in here."
Peter: "You're coming?"
Diana: "Why the hell not?"

Grinning at her determination, Peter walked out of the bunker, with Diana following behind him. After a moment's walk, Peter stopped abruptly, making Diana stumble behind him.

Diana: "What happened?"
Peter: "Nothing. It's just that I had an idea."
Diana: "Okay...."
Peter: "Quick, close your eyes and don't scream."
Diana: "What? Why?"
Peter: "Just trust me,", as Peter said this, he put his hand on her shoulder "and for the love of God don't scream."
Diana: "What the hell? Get your-", but she didn't finish her sentence. Both people were gone in a flash of light.

Flashback Sequence 2

http://www.techspere.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/valve-logo.jpgNegotiations

Diana: "AAAAAAAAAHHHHH-"
Peter: "What part of DON'T SCREAM didn't you understand!"

Both people were standing in front of a large building. After calming her down, Peter began walking towards the building.

Diana: "Where are we?"
Peter: "Valve Headquarters. AKA, the guys who made Steam and better PC gaming possible."
Diana: "Peter, are you nuts?! Valve is one of our enemies. We'll get killed if they catch us!"
Peter: "On the contrary, we're not here to attack them or anything of that nature. We're here to negotiate with them for help. Valve may be in the PC business, but they in fact are developers themselves, and they actually have a better relationship with Sony, i.e. Portal 2's PS3 to Steam co-op compatibility."
Diana: "So why are we here?"
Peter: "Like I said, we need help. If we can convince Valve to assist us in this war, either in technology, which is what I'm trying to shoot for, or more soldiers, then we might just be able to drive MS out of base for good."
Diana: "So", she said just as they reached the building's main doors "how do you think we'll get them to agree?"
Peter: "Well, isn't it simple?" Peter opened the door. "We ask."

************

Diana: "We ask, huh?"
Peter: "And you contributed?"

Both were handcuffed and waiting in the CEO's room, both held by guards. After entering the building, both were captured for not only trespassing but also for Peter's infamous reputation from the news of an airport incident. After what seemed like forever, the CEO finally came into the room.

CEO: "And who may you two be?"
Diana: "Diana, representative of-"
CEO: "Yes yes, I don't need your full history, just a name." He then looks at Peter. "And you're that guy from the airport. A terrorist I presume?"
Peter: "Yes, no, and my name's Peter."
CEO: "Short and sweet... and I like it. So tell me, what gave you two the idea you can just come into my building and demand to see me like you're some type of royalty?"
Diana: "We wanted to negotiate with you-"
CEO: "Negotiate? For what? Where do you two come from?"
Diana: "If you mean company, it's Sony, sir."
CEO: "Oh! So you want my company to do whatever Sony wants? Or else what? You declare war on us?"
Diana: "Well to be honest-"
Peter: "What we mean, mister...."
CEO: "Newell."
Peter: "Right. What we mean Mr. Newell is that Sony has been sieged by Microsoft Headquarters. If I'm not mistaken, their current president, Joe, has some influence on Valve. While we're not here to threaten your company in anyway, I just want to point out that if MS does take over Sony, Nintendo will be next to follow suit, and pretty soon your private company will no longer be private once Joe gets full control over. That is, of course, after he declares war on you if you do not cooperate."
Newell: ".... And just why should I help Sony? Nintendo seems like a more reliable choice right now, if any."
Peter: "Ah, but Nintendo is also stealing customers. Your customers have one thing in common: the're all PC gamers. Microsoft is owner of the most popular OS in the market. If they go down, your business will be hit with collateral damage. So you see, all companies balance each other, believe it or not. If one gains too much power, in this case Joe and MS, then the others, even private ones like yourself, will be affected in the end."

Newell stared at Peter in silence. Diana already gave up negotiating her part, so she just watched Peter handle it himself. Now Newell was thinking of what Peter said. After a moment of silence, Newell spoke.

Newell: "Guards, remove the cuffs. I want to speak to these two alone."

Flashback Sequence 3

http://images.wikia.com/callofduty/images/2/2b/Teleporterderriese.pngThe Machine in Aperture Science Laboratory

Minutes have past since Peter and Diana have been released from the binds. They already begun exchanging their says in the negotiation. Now it was Newell's turn to speak.

Newell: "Whoa-whoa-whoa. You want me and my corporation to give you, a handful of renegades, and an overrun company technology that took us years to develop, along with our own personal soldiers who have nothing to do with this war, with a slim to none chance of overthrowing Joe and winning?"
Diana: "Well when you say it like that... yeah, that's about it."
Newell: He sighed, pinching between his eyebrows. "Okay, so let's say I did go along with your plan. What then?"
Peter: "What do you mean?"
Newell: "How will you be able to give the technology to Sony? How will contact your friends? How can you even organize an assault on MS without getting your people together first?"
Diana: "Well, I honestly think that... Peter should know...."
Peter: "Yes... we're working on it." He heard Diana whisper "Seriously?" to him.
Newell: "Are you kidding me? You'll die out there before you can round up any of your soldiers."
Peter: "Well, can you help us? I can teleport, but only to a certain limit. Do you have any portal guns, teleporters, anything?"
Newell: "Portal guns? Those aren't even real!"

Newell walked towards a wall in the room that had notes, flyers, and pictures taped to it. After a while, he turned to Peter and Diana with a smile on his face.

Newell: "But we do have something that'll help." He then placed his hand on the wall. Suddenly, the wall swung back to reveal a hallway. "Follow me."

************

Diana: "No way!"
Newell: "You like? The wall was a cover the hallway. Consider it my shortcut to this place: The Official Valve Research Facility."

Diana, Newell, and Peter walked around the gigantic room filled with gadgets and other devices. There was scientist in there with them, and many were busy testing other projects.

Newell: "But you can call it by its nickname: Aperture Science Laboratory."
Peter: "Nice."
Newell: "And here is our beauty!" He showed them to an enormous machine. "It's still new, but we tested it. Almost perfectly safe."
Diana: "After being fascinated, she looked worried. "Almost perfectly?"
Newell: "Well, there's a few bugs in it. But nothing serious."
Peter: "Define nothing serious."
Newell: He hesitated, then he responded. "To be honest, none of us want to try this again, because the ones who did either came back injured or never came back at all."
Diana: "Why? The machine breakdown on them?"
Newell: "Oh no, the machine works fine. It's just the destination is horrible. You see, this machine was made with one purpose in mind: to dive into the very same worlds we created. A child-like dream, yes, but imagine this; what if we took out in-game objects from their worlds and brought it to ours? By doing so, we accomplish bringing imagination and creativity to life. Literally! The problem is, however, we were only able to get onto our worlds. That's why we created co-op compatibility with Sony for Portal, to slowly build a bond with them so they let us go into their worlds they created. If we could do that, we'll be able to change history."
Peter: "Wow...."
Newell: "Wow it is! But sadly, we haven't perfected Destination Selection yet. Our testers, eager as they were, never got to see its full potential. Those who came back reported they were sent to horrible places, filled with monsters and hatred like no other. Others never returned, their fate unknown."
Diana: "That's horrible."
Newell: "I know. While I'm positive our team has managed to fixed most of the bugs, I'm still not sure what'll happen to you guys."
Peter: "So wait, how is this suppose to help?"
Newell: "Simple: you get in, we send you to one of the worlds, and you grab all the technology you need. Weapons, vehicles, etc. Then, when you're done, you can use one of our planes to gather your friends to plan something out. With the other Other Worlds technologies, you might be able to take down MS."

Peter and Diana looked at each other. After a while, they both looked at Newell.

Diana: "We'll do it."
Peter: "Just let take a weapon with me."
Newell: "Not a problem. The machine registered everything that went through, including weapons our previous subjects took. You should appear in the world with a weapon ready in hand."
Peter: "Even better."

After Peter and Diana stepped into the machine, Newell and the scientist began working over at a wide control panel. The machine began to light up, just as Newell started to shout at them over the noise the machine began to make.

Newell: "Just be careful! This thing takes 24 hours to recharge, so you may have to wait a while before we can send you back here."
Peter: "Wait, what!"
Diana: "How do we contact you if we need help?!"
Newell: "Contact?"
Diana: "...."
Peter: "You as-"

Then they were gone in a brilliant flash of white and blue.

Flashback Sequence 4

http://th04.deviantart.net/fs23/PRE/f/2007/313/d/d/We_Don__t_Go_To_RavenHolm_by_fxscreamer.pngWe Don't Go To Ravenholm....

Peter and Diana woke up with a wave of nausea. After redeeming themselves, both looked at their surroundings. They were in a city, dead and chaotic looking. Both stood up, looking at each other.

Peter: "Hey, you got something on your back."
Diana: "What? Dirt?"
Peter: "Nope. A M14."
Diana: "What?" She reached her back, then pulled out a fully loaded M14. "Whoa."
Peter: "Which means I should have a...", Peter then pulled out his own rifle from his back "a SPAS-12. Yeah... that'll work."

After checking their weapons, Diana asked the question both on their minds.

Diana: "Where are we?"
Peter: "I don't know." He looked around, then found a sign on the ground. "But after looking at this sign, if I'm not mistaken, we're in-" a loud howl interrupted him.
Diana: "What was that?!"
Peter: "Wait.... Oh ****! We need to get out of here now!"
Diana: "What?"
Peter: "Find a house, warehouse, any building! We need to stay out from the open!"
Diana: "Why?!"
Peter: "I know this place. This world, everything in it, I've played it before. It's a game, and while it was badass from my perspective, it's really horrible in our current situation."
Diana: "But why? What is this place?!" As she said this, more howling commenced.
Peter: "This world is Half Life 2, and this city is the Hell hole of the game. Diana," Peter waved around, "welcome to Ravenholm."

((Behold, the reason I'm wiping out this story at the end: It's not funny, nor creative to mix in random companies. This game is about Nintendo, Microsoft, and Sony.

((Well, the Ascension thing is just for me, but others can participate. It's really important for GDN's campaign and if I cut it out, there won't be a proper ending and many plot holes will remain.))

((Gotta agree with Cyber here. I mean really, you never told us not to include other companies or groups. We're just trying to make a story, and it can get somewhat difficult to make it interesting without some other plot devices thrown in there. It's what happens in FRPGs, like Cyber said.))

((Now you guys know how hard it is to manage one of these things. I might not be the shining example, but at least now you know the difficulty of making one work. In TCW3, once I decided to bail, you guys handled it quite nicely. Now, with people around here starting to get more busy in life and the relevance of the console war fading away, perhaps after this we ought to try something new (a new theme, a new plot, etc)...

But if my characters have anything to say about it, this isn't over yet. I still got my part to finish up. And I promise that you won't be disappointed. I'll post when I get back from school.))

((In fact... I'll try and post now.))

The word "anarchy" is a word that shouldn't be used lightly. But, in the case of Horatio, Marcus, Dom and Frank, it's acceptable.

Smashing through wall after wall and blasting troop after troop, the rebels stormed through the facility in their seemingly unstoppable Scorpion tank, plowing through at a breakneck pace.
"How much farther, Dom?!" Frank shouted, manning the cannon.
"It's about 2 1/2 more clicks!!" Dom barked back, "*******!! It's a s***storm out here!"
"Well it's about ******* time these soldiers get a taste of what REAL combat is for once!!" Horatio roared, firing an M16 through one of the peepholes. "All these idiots do is pick their noses and then their a****!! A ******* WASTE OF POINTS!!"
"1 click and counting!" Marcus blurted, looking through one of the open slots.

The four-man army trudged through the chaotic atmosphere, homing in on their target: the main control room. However, other "forces" had something else in mind...

"... INCOMING!!!" Marcus shouted, immediately closing the slot and backing away from the sides of the interior.
In a sudden collision of two opposing forces, the tank's entire front side smashes in and nearly squishes Frank. In an instant, the Scorpion tank went from a care-free run to a jarring stand-still. And, just as their tank stopped, so did surrounding gunfire. This horrifying ordeal makes Horatio peep out of the top hatch; a fatal mistake.
Almost immediately as the governor-in-flee pokes his head out, a cold and aggressive metal gauntlet shoots out and seizes his neck. Horatio immediately tries to conjure up his strength and is about to hurl another large chunk of asphalt at the cybernetic assassin, but is knocked out before doing so. The black armor-cladded warrior slings his limp adversary onto his shoulder, seizes his .50-cal rifle and points it at the opening in the tank.
"BY ORDER OF THE UNDISPUTED PRESIDENT OF MICROSOFT," the robotic fiend hissed, "YOU ARE HEREBY PLACED UNDER SUPREME ARREST. ANY RESISTANCE WILL RESULT IN YOUR DEATHS."
Marcus & Dom gradually ease their ways into view, at which the mad cyborg rips them out of and flings them to the ground. There, another robot assassin, this one cladded in white, apprehends them as keeps them pinned to the ground. Frank, however, would never go so easily, as he takes his FAMAS and starts wildly firing at the black intruder. The cold-hearted mercenary brushes off the gunfire and seizes the gun with his open hand, crushing it effortlessly. With the gun disposed of, he also grabs Frank by the throat and lifts him high.
"DO YOU WISH TO DIE?" the robot growled, it's eyes flashing deep yellow.
"THIS WAR ISN'T OVER YET!!" Frank roared back, "I'll keep fightin' until my LAST..." Something caught his attention. His oppressor looked strikingly similar to someone he knew. In fact, he looked just like...
"... S-Sam?" Frank stuttered, "... what has he done to you?"
At this, he is knocked-out as well.

"REBELS APPREHENDED, MASTER," the assassin called in, communicating with Joe.
"Verrrry good," Joe replied, sounding rather pleased. "Now you and Jason over there rendezvous with the Chief and Arby over at Sao Paulo. Our special "guests" are heard to have already arrived..."
"YES SIR," the assassin growled, ending the conversation. "LET'S MOVE!!"
And with that, the two robotic soldiers, now armed with two lifeforms each, bolt out of the facility and start running towards Sao Paulo, where their "special guests" are waiting...

((MEANWHILE AT BLUE'S COMPUTER, HERP DERP ONE PRESS OF THE BACK ARROW TAKES ME BACK 10 PAGES AND I LOSE EVERYTHING))

Approximately two hours after Blue and Navy break in to the Microsoft Northern Research Facility

"MOVE, god *****it!" Navy shouted at Blue as they both rushed down the ruinous spiral staircase, descending deep underground. They were frantic in their movements, forced to deal with Microsoft soldiers coming from both above and below them, showing up from around corners, ready to kill the both of them.

"FOR *****'S SAKE", Navy again yelled, snatching a soldier's rifle with a lightning hook and beating him unconscious with it, "if you had just watched my back while I charged up the entrance, we'd be leisurely walking down these stairs while they searched everywhere else for us! Jesus!"

Blue turned around and stuck a heavy with several grenades, which sent him flying back, momentarily stunning the soldiers behind him. "Well, a**hole, I didn't see you coming up with any escape ideas! At least I gave us a fighting chance!"

Navy smirked a little as he used a shockwave to send several soldiers plummeting down several flights of stairs to their deaths. "You'd think the b*stards would have learned by now to tear up all the metal floors. Or at least have more rubber boots on stock." Navy shot down a soldier and stopped for a second, panting hard. "Look, we've got to get off of these stairs. Neither of us can hold out for forever."

Blue looked to his left. The staircase's spiral left a large circle in the middle, but bars created a wall around the stair's open side. At that point, a heavy appeared in front of them, pointing threateningly with an RPG. As he trained the weapon on Blue, the Nintendo elite saw his chance. Blue jumped up and kicked off of a bar, and as expected the explosive hit the bars, shattering the metal with a sudden crash. A large hole was revealed as the dust cleared.

Navy took advantage of the explosion and related chaos to slash through several approaching grunts with a gigawatt blade, giving him time to pause. "Let's go!" Blue jumped, with Navy following. With their static thrusters, they landed safely in a large, ancient chamber...

((This.

To contribute in said summarization, here's the summary I forgot to do on mine. Ahem....

Summary: Peter has no idea what to do (in game and IRL), so Diana and him go to Valve HQ. After the meet the CEO, they go to the HQ's research lab where they use a machine to travel into one of Valve's worlds: Half Life 2. Now, Peter and Diana are stuck in that world for 24 hours until the Valve team can get them back. Their current mission: to retrieve as many weapons as they can to assist GDN, Zim, and anybody else fighting for Sony.

I'm not toasting until tomorrow. Nintendo's conference is coming up, so I'm going to keep playing Half Life 2: Episode One before it. I'm already figuring out a way to connect everybody's stories together (again), so that'll help a bit. But for now, I'm "busy" at the moment, as I do not wish to experience another rage moment at B3 delay in my plans.

((Insert: summary))

After getting back to S?o Paulo and being cured by Merc and Laura, GDN receives a call from Rusl, asking for help and offering an alliance. GDN flies to his location and picks him up. He lands in Somalia on his way back, to refuel without attracting much attention. He then coincidentally finds Zim and tries to ask for forgiveness, but she doesn't get impressed. They get attacked by MS Elite squad, and GDN finds a tool in an apartment room made by a local inventor. (See: Hack Tool (http://bioshock.wikia.com/wiki/Hack_Tool)) They escape in the aircraft and get back to S?o Paulo. They land a couple of blocks far from their hideout and are trying to get back to it.

((Toasting summary:

Zeta set out as a spy to steal information from Sony, she succeeded only to find Microsoft posed a bigger threat. She was stuck on the run in the Sony area before teaming up with Rusl etc, in the hope that the secret Atari weapons could defeat Microsoft. She helped break into their base and managed to gain data from Atari about the technology. Then she decided she needed to get the help of Sony officially so she could move freely in their territory to use this defeat Microsoft. Besides she couldn't go back to Nintendo because she is now on Atari's black list, who control a large portion of the company. Also she once experienced a strange vision, but she doesn't know the cause.))

((Are you guys waiting on me now? Alright, i'll put together a few lines to keep things moving.))

((Oh yeah, we're sneaking through Sao Paulo trying to get to the Sony HQ right now.))

Mercuy slowly opened up the back door to the building and peered back out into the dark streets of Sao Paulo. One street light flickered on the other side of the road, but there was no one there.
"All clear, let's keep moving."
The pair creeped out of the door and into the alleyway. Laura was about to move into the road and head for the next one before Mercuy held her back as the faint sound of a plane's engine coming to a halt echoed in the distance.
"That's gotta be GDN, no other person would be stupid or brave enough to land in the middle of a Helghast occupied city."
"Why is he doing it then?"
"He cares about his people."
"Right, we'll worry about them after, let's just keep moving."
"Wait."

"Hear that? Sounds like it's landing."
"Where is it?"
Mercuy poked his head out from behind the building to see where the chopper had landed, but before he could find it, the sounds of gunfire did for him as MS troops piled out of it and started to fire at the building above them.
"That must be them on the roof, come on, let's go while it's distracted."
