| http://i765.photobucket.com/albums/xx299/mercury288/Blackout.png ------------------------------------- 27 Years after the 4th war and things have changed dramatically. After Joe destroyed the media's good views of Microsoft, and Sony crippling MS' army aswell as their own in Sao Paulo and New Natal, all 3 factions are at peace, trying to rebuild their corporate empires, From this, certain groups from each formed terrorist organization known as The Blackout and tagged on with the remnants of the Ascension group. The factions are currently working together to stop them, but for how long? New soldiers, new technology, and new enemies, this won't be a chapter of TCW that will be forgotten. Now, to any new players, welcome to the Console Wars, if you don't know how this is to be played than you should check out the posts that have been made here, or in previous wars. Basically all you have to do is write what is happening in your character's timeline (or others' for that matter) and interaction with others. Rules I've slightly revised the rules from the last war, but most of them are pretty much the same, thanks B3 and Jack! - Keep all outside commentary inside (( and )) brackets. If you need to give notes about your post, say something to another poster, or give any message outside of the game, surround your message with these. It helps us keep the story separate, which can be important as the story gets more intense. Example: The room became awkward as pete continued to stare at the wall. ((Yeah, i'm really out of ideas.)) - Use good grammar and proper English in your posts. Alrighty. I'm toning down the Grammar Nazi in me for this, but I still expect readable posts. This means capitalization, punctuation, and mostly well-spelled posts. If you have trouble with spelling, I suggest downloading Google Chrome or Firefox, both of which have built-in spellcheck. An alternative is to type your posts in Microsoft Word and copy/paste them over. I WILL kick players if they consistently make unreadable posts. Also, 2 things that REALLY make me mad when reading: commas without spaces before the next word, and apostrophes where there shouldn't be one. - No use of story twisting powers. Because this is a story being told by multiple people, it's important to keep players from using powers which would limit other's involvement. As such, mind-control, warping, and automatic kills are prohibited. Powers that affect the continuity of the story (time travel) should be used sparingly. You should also avoid changing other's stories in your posts, unless it is alright with them, please check with them before you make a post though, and not after. - It needs to make sense. I like randomness as much as the next guy, but try to keep your posts within the realm of logic and on topic. No giant mudkipz smashing down bases or ponies discovering friendship. Examples of this include "Don't worry, I still have the rebuild a base switch!" or "Yeah, everyone died, but I have 99 Phoenix Downs!" Don't do that. Ever. There will be concequences. - Be creative! You have an epic story to tell - so do it! Weave tales of action, revenge, tragedy, comedy, even romance! (Keep it clean, you crazy kids.) Make your character come to life. Don't just react to what others post, but give the story its next step! Just be sure to abide by all the above rules - they're not there to limit your creativity, but to protect the creativity of others. - If this signup ends and you wish to play, PM me or any other mod and we'll see if we can fit you in. This is needed, as newcomers may be confused and might need caught up on the story thus far. - I reserve the right to refuse any user entry or continued participation if any of the above rules are violated or other trouble making ensues. I hope to not have to do this, but I will if needed. Just follow the rules and you'll be fine! Thanks to BlueBulletBill for writing these rules, and to Jack for writing the previous rules.

| Players Name: Alexa Ridge Age: 25 Faction: Currently under Microsoft Description: Darkish blonde hair, Military green cap, White jacket, black shirt, green eyes. Weapons: Custom DMR, Combat knife, Magnum Bio/Backstory: Daughter of Mercuy and Laura from the last war, Alexa was born into a life as soldier. Learning to use a gun at the age of 7, and winning countless paintball tournaments, Alexa quickly became a force to be reckoned with at an early age. A few months after she was born, her father was kidnapped by an unknown group while on a mission to Cairo, and was never found again. After learning about Blackout's involvment in this area, joined up with the LED to try and find out what happened, but after 4 years of searching through the Sahara, fell into a trap set by the Blackout, and was scarred for life, sitting for 6 days in the middle of the desert waiting for help, wounded, and alone. After this incident she settled down to a simple life working in an office job for Microsoft, but she is still strong, she will still fight if the opportunity arrises. Name: Isaac Knowles Age: 26 Description: Well, for position, let's go with Sony, and maybe he can be the #2, ya know, organizes stuff for the dude mainly in charge. Making calls, organizing files, helping to start and cancel events, etc. As for looks, nothing flashy obviously, he works at a big company, so he dresses well, and hair might be a bit long, furthest down it would be in the back would be shoulder length though, probably not that much, but somewhat close, not that it really matters. Outside of Sony, casual clothes, no perms for him though! Trustworthy, not a lot of friends, but that's fine. Weapons: Average pistol, and a few skills picked up on escaping and bombs. Oh, and some old gardening tools given when he was very little, out in his shed to rust Bio/Backstory: I'll make sure to go MUCH further into detail when the game starts up, but in a nutshell, Isaac had a father, working for big busines, started gaining ranks, and joined others. He'd been faithful, but found out about things being transported, codes, all these things meant to be kept secret, and they noticed his odd behavior more and more, and couldn't let things be told. Isaac, the son, kidnapped, the father also kidnapped, and to be shot in the head right infront of Isaac, and the mother to be slipped something and go mentally ill, and then, completely crazy. They didn't know what to do with Isaac, maybe ship him away, something, but the boss left for the others to deal with him. Isaac was able to escape, and left, trying to wipe all identity, only to now get caught up in his father's same line of work, only with better expirience. NAME: Rico Martinez AGE: 32 DESCRIPTION: Rico is your usual tough guy. With his black, short hair, his semi-intimidating appearance and his surprising logic, with no doubt he got into the SSO (Sony Secret Operations). Martinez takes care of everything that needs to be done undercover, but he is also prepared to give a helping hand or go all guns blazing in some ocasions. WEAPONS/EQUIPMENT: Rico is a weapon specialist, however, his guns of choice are 9mm pistols, that he likes to fire dual-wielded. He is also equipped with a grappling hook, which he can attach to almost any surface and use to pull himself towards the target, or vice versa. The hook is equipped with a high-power magnet for iron surfaces, and four claws for softer surfaces. It can reach up to 100 meters away and pull objects with speeds of 50 km/h. Martinez also likes to carry a parachute in missions, just in case. He also owns a notable bullet-proof Hummer H3, for road missions and quick getaways. BACKSTORY: Rico was born in Rio de Janeiro and lived with his parents until the age of 20, when he got invited to join the SSO. He then received the proper training and began to show both physical and intellectual skills when doing so. Outside the SSO, things broke apart. GDN, felling guilty for his past sins and the war that just had been over, abandoned the army and dissapeared with no clue. Zim was invited to be the new commander, but she wasn't interested at all. The commander position eventually got filled by another notable soldier. Sony managed to rebuild S?o Paulo, which now looks as cleaner and modern as ever. Rico had climbed the SSO ranks, becoming squad leader. He had always preffered to work alone however. The Ascension had misteriously dissapeared, and a new faction is on the scene. Rico is going to have a lot of work in the next few months... Name: Michael Age: 19 Faction: Nintendo Description: Rarely speaks, and speaks in a monotone voice when he does. Never shows any emotion. Wears a blindfold at all times, seemingly blind but aware of surroundings, enhanced senses, capable of controlling a living thing's mental state to some degree (I won't be doing this to other people's characters without permission of course). Tends to keep to himself unless someone is in danger. Weapons: Whatever is available to him, though avoids fighting when possible. Bio/Backstory: Was a normal kid until one day he was kidnapped and tested on for the 'Genesis Project'. Something went wrong, causing his mental state to break and completely change who he was, and ridding him of most of his memories. Wandered the world until one day he decided to do something with his life and signed up as an engineer for Nintendo. His fellow co-workers are quite confused on how he got hired, seeing as how he wears a blindfold at all times, but he somehow gets the job done. Name: Johnny "Bob-omb" Williams Age: 27 Description: Well-built, short black hair and blue eyes. Scar across his left eye (Will be explained later). Weapons: RPG, shotgun, dual 9mm pistols and some explosives. Bio: A member of one of Nintendo's Elite Special Force Units, Captain Williams is a heavy weapons specialist and a master of making just about anything he wants disappear into a large explosion, earning him the nickname Bob-omb among his comrades. Williams grew up alone in the mean streats of London after the last Console War. The effects were still being felt in London and a Microsoft extremist killed Johnny's family. He swore vengeance against Microsoft and joined a small Sony street gang. The crimes he commited in the gang still haunt him today and eventually he left the gang and joined Nintendo. They noticed the potential that he had, but due to his past with Sony, he was under close surveilance. He quickly rose to Captain and became leader of a small elite unit known "The Hyrulers", completing many successful missions as their leader. Name: Topher Gooms Age: 21 Faction: Nintendo Description: Is a cyborg. Has one real arm, everything else below the neck is augmented. Wavy black hair, parted to one side. Hawaiian. Weapons: EMP Pistol(Augmented), Dual Blades(Augmented), Hook-shot(Augmented) Bio/Backstory: Topher once worked for Sony. Until they changed him. Toph was in a tough corner. He owed debt to loan sharks, his girlfriend left him, and he was a slave under Sony to test their weapons in alpha stage. You could say he was a human test dummy. He didnt get paid, and the experiments that he was involved in costed Sony no money. One day, when he was testing for Sony, Nintendo raided the facility. Firefights broke out. Toph was caught in the crossfire. Sony managed to push Nintendo back, and found Toph on the verge of dying. As he was one of their vital test subjects, they couldn't let him die. They operated on him. Augmented him into a cyborg. And put him back on the job. Topher rebelled. He grabbed as many parts he could get and made off with them. He later brought them to Nintendo, where he gave them intel on the weapons Sony was going to use. Nintendo fabricated weapons for him, and thats where Topher stayed until this day. Sony is still on a manhunt for Topher, but under Nintendo, he was untouchable. Name: Edin Age: 25 Weapons: Doesn't own any "weapons" per say because he doesn't believe in violence. What he lacks in weapons he makes up for with his intelligence. Bio/Backstory: Edin was born into a very wealthy family. He was often alone and isolated because he was different from his family. His parents wanted him to do something with his life. Something big. However, Edin didn't have any interest in becoming a doctor or a lawyer or a CEO. He wanted to give to others. But this all changed in the last few months. He has changed his perspective towards the people he once wanted to help. He now has a taste of revenge. Name: Jack (last name unknown) Age: unknown (though it's rumored to be well over 150) Faction: Microsoft Description: Being the president of Microsoft, one must look the part. Jack is a tall, fit man who looks to be in his 40's, though is much older in reality. His eyes are primarily green, though can flash colors when experiencing different emotional fits. He sports a goatee and slicked hair, and prefers fitted suits (usually white, gray or black), matching homburg hats, and leather shoes. After many wars, he has begun to hint at his true age, as traces of grey can be seen in his facial and head hair. Weapons: Although Jack appears as a gentleman, he does not fight fair. Due to his digitalized powers, he never carries weapons but "respawns" them when needed, but has limited abilities to how often he can deploy such powers. His primary weaponry is the Kinect, the Lancer, and the Spartan Laser. Bio/Backstory: Dragged into every war since the original Console Wars (and even causing some), Jack is one of the only remaining veterans known to have survive since then. Throughout his long career, he has fought Sony and Nintendo countless times, fended off multiple sieges, has been taken over by lethal viruses, and has gone to the lengths of even annihilating the planet the first time around. After experimenting with a top-secret "elixir", Jack gained "digitalized" powers, and has basically become a living, digital program. Though wielding incredible power, he has fallen victim to malware and viruses, as evidenced by the third Console Wars when he was plagued by the YLOD virus. Though usually sane, his temperament has been known to boil over and cause fits of insanity, creating catastrophes that have launched whole wars in the first place. Jack has lost many friends and allies during these wars, among them being the former Brazilian governor Horatio Castillo, ace photographer Frank West, former Microsoftian general Arbiter, former accountant Natalie 386, former Elite rseah, and long-time friend, successor and second-in-command Kernel. Along with many friends gone, enemies have also come to pass, primarily the evil dictator "Joe" Comstock, who took over Microsoft due to discovering unused "elixirs", after Jack's brief exile. These 6 wars and counting have caused much physical and emotional hardships for the weathered man, but have also matured him from a ruthless and malevolent tyrant to a cautious and weary leader. Though, with his age becoming more and more apparent by each passing day, and with great danger looming again on the horizon, the long-standing guardian of Microsoft might finally succumb to the several decades of war... Name: Dek Age: 16 Faction: Unknown as of yet Description: Dark long hair, with an unhappy, sunken looking face. Very strong, allowing him to parkour much better than an average person. Dek survive long falls, heal at a faster rate, and posses tougher skin. This allows him to withstand bangs and scratches, such as banging into brick walls or scraping is hands along them, though certainly not stop bullets. Always wears gloves and dark clothes, and usually covered in scrapes. Also hates microsoft with a passion. Weapons: Carries a combat knife at all times, but no guns. His best weapon is his durability and ability to parkour extremely well, run fast, and jump high. Bio/Backstory: Dek was born to a lower class mother, who was under the employment of a rather large and powerful Microsoft office building. His father had long since abandoned them and Dek, knowing him only by his mothers rather distasteful account, has never and will never ever have a desire to see or know him. This is quite the opposite with his mother; Dek cares for and loves her very much, for she has always done the same for him. For the first 15 years of his life, Dek lived a not-so-great life; he went to school, but he was unpopular and uninterested in making friends anyway. His only comforts were his loving mom and the ability to free run. One unfortunate night, a man came to his house and told him his mother had been killed in a car accident, and that Dek needed to come with him. Dek noticed, however, that the man was not a police officer, but that he was wearing a Microsoft agent suit. What was even stranger, however, was that [i]his mother hadnt even taken the car that day[/]. Knowing something was wrong, Dek grabbed a knife from his drawer and jumpd on the mans back when his back was turned, tackling him, the knife to his throat. Dek demanded the truth, and after much yelling, Dek learned that his mother had actually been killed by a her drunken boss, both of them working late in an empty office, apart from eachother. The murderer would be payed off to stay quiet, should the need arise, and the whole story would be covered up to avoid all economic problems the story would create. Absolutely furious, Dek killed the man who had brought him this news and ran off into the city, vowing to stop at nothing to avenge his mother, and hating microsoft with a burning passion. Name: Alex Hawkins Age:24 Faction:Microsoft Discription: Tall and Mysterious, He Always seems to have anger on his face Weapons: 2 double action Pistols and A Longsword Bio/Backstory: Former War Agent that was Wounded in battle and Then Handed in his resignation. But this War has called him Back against his own will even though He isn't Known To be the Loyaliest of people and What Grudge does he Hold to Some Of his fellow teamates and Whats this Rumour of a Freindship between Him and A Nintendo Warrior. Only the future will tell name: Ivan McChow age: Unknown faction: sony description: tired and worn out. looks of regret and shame because of his past. short, average height and unfit. weapons: a stick. no but its a very good stick. bio/back story: lived life in a fat camp because his mixed-up family insisted that he was fat. ran away from fat camp at 14 and spent his teenage years in a small village, where he invented a chimney cap. and object that stops smoke from coming out of chimneys. he applied these to every chimney, thinking he was doing good, when it actually led to a massive explosion and swamped the village in black smoke. he then ran away again and tried to seek redemption by signing up to the war. soon after he fell into a deep pit on the front line. he lived in the pit for a day until someone found him.... Codename: "Ziggy" Real Name: Unknown Age: 21 Faction: Sony Description: Long chocolate brown hair, wiry but strong, tall, intelligent, pessimistic, hardened expression, almost unnaturally dark blue/verging on black eyes, pale skin tone. Weapons: M4, med kit, combat knife, Desert 5. Bio/Backstory: Ziggy was quite frankly the best medic in Sony’s arsenal, she just didn’t know it yet. Born in London, to a patriotic father and an overprotective mother, she was a pacifist at heart but of course, her dad never took that for an answer. Soon afterwards, Ziggy found herself enrolled in Sandhurst, training for a job she didn’t even want in the first place. No-one ever asked if she had wanted to be a soldier in later life, they just assumed. In reality, she had expressed a desire to go to university and eventually become a Game Designer. It certainly didn’t help when every time she went into town with her squad mates, the bus passed by MM Towers. Ziggy reasoned with the fact that if she couldn’t fulfil a lifelong dream, that didn’t mean she couldn’t end up doing something different to what they wanted her to do, or more accurately he. And what was the polar opposite of killing people? Ziggy talked to her commanding officer about transferring to a Field Medic course, but the places were all taken. Later in the week, she had gone out on an exercise with the squad, the first time everyone was using live ammunition, and it had backfired horribly, a soldier with the codename of Wolf had been hit by sniper fire. With only minutes to save his life and sparse medical supplies, somehow Ziggy had prevailed in the face of insurmountable odds. And after that, the sergeant had somehow “made” a place for her. The next day that same soldier who nearly died at the hands of an ally’s gun, came up to her, defying protocol and saying his first name was Jak, yet mysteriously Ziggy had discarded her first name and only uses her codename now. After graduation she was exported to America, in a peacekeeping team based on the outskirts of Texas, near Microsoft’s HQ, seeing as the city was in a state of virtual collapse, due to the aftermath of the worst war the world had ever seen. ((Think Console Wars IV)) And like every peacekeeping force in English history, it had failed drastically, everyone splitting up to a different faction, only Ziggy and Jak going to Sony, everyone knowing deep down that one day, if they ever had each other in their sights, they would have to pull the trigger. After an endless stretch of mind-numbing war, and seeing comrades all around her die unnecessarily, Ziggy came to the conclusion that she just wanted to run as far away from her camp, run away from her life, but was now too deep in this pointless little battle to back out now. Her squeaky clean black and white morals had morphed into twisted, indistinguishable shades of grey. Ziggy’s eyes were originally a beautifully crystal clear sapphire, but now were a deep whirlpool of midnight blue, almost an abyssal black. Some people had even been calling her Abyssal and she hated the name, it reminded her of the fact that she had changed in ways she had never wanted to or could possibly stop. But every day she pushed herself out of bed, hastily grabbed the M4 assault rifle on the side table and spent another day running through war torn battlefields; healing soldiers just so they could get killed again when she was tied up with another casualty. If there was a place called hell, Ziggy was convinced she was living through it. Name: Rhym Veir (My usual RPG character name... :3) Age: 17 Faction: Unaffiliated Discription: Young Rhym wasn't around for the previous wars. ((Just like me, the writer! )) But now, he has found his way into one. Rhym had had a rough childhood. Raised in poverty and never escaping it's clutches. He was finally fed up with it. After making a hard decision, Rhym decided to leave his hometown, his family, and all he knew about life. After about 2 weeks on the road, living off anything he could steal or scavenge, Rhym was mistaken for an Xbox faction revivalist and taken into custody by the Sony faction. After escaping by tricking the guards into thinking there was a distraction behind them, Rhym ran to the mountains and hid. That was when he met Them. Weapons: Anything he can get his hands on. After being raised in poverty, you learn to fight with what you have. Bio/Backstory: ((I did a little of this in the description... Oh well...)) Rhym is a very quiet person. When he talks, it's not to say much. But it is important. He is cunning, smart, and will turn on you in a snap. Avoids killing as much as he can (meaning he goes for the knockout instead) but will do whatever is necessary when need be.

His ability to react and make appropriate tactical decisions, coupled with his exceptional athleticism and reflexes make him a force to be reckoned with on the battlefield. Although he was a highly decorated soldier in Nintendo's army, he still acts like a young rookie, arduously working to ascend the military ladder. He shows little emotion on or off the battlefield as he is too preoccupied in his work. Many describe him as robotic but that doesn't depict him as well as it should.

| The Start - 18 Years after the 4th war The girl sat at the top of the tower with her pistol in hand, she didn't know what was left on the ground, but she didn't want to take any chances that they were just waiting for her. Her rifle laid on the floor next to her, just a few rounds left; she couldn't take any chances. Most of her team had been taken out, and she had no idea if any of them were still there or not. She peeked over her cover to see 2 enemies on the other side of the field, followed by the weapons fire cutting across the battlegrounds and striking one of her teammates; She felt more alone than ever. The sound of footsteps were swiftly heard as the 2 remaining troopers broke off to search for her. While one of them wasn't looking the girl quickly popped out and managed to get a lucky shot right into the heart. As if the gunshot wasn't enough to alert the other, the downed soldier used his last words to reveal the girl's location. The footsteps of the 2nd enemy surrounded the tower as she crouched behind a crate and lined up a shot on the staircase. The footsteps became louder and her heart beated faster. When she heard the footsteps stop and a shadow cast over, she fired a shot, just as the man's leg came into view. He looked down at his now paint covered leg and backed down the stairs of the tower, followed by the now match champion. She proceeded over to her team of 5 others with one hand held high to distribute the post game high fives. as her opponent walked off to the side in a mopey mood. "Saved the team again, Alexa?" "Well you guys clearly cracked under the pressure again... Except for maybe Pete's warcry." "I do aim to please." "Well, either way we won, what's that? 13 - 0?" "Something like that." "Alright well, the 5 of us are going to grab a bite to eat, you in?" "Nah, it's like 7:30, i gotta get home, work on my rifle." "You still trying to fix that old DMR? I'm telling you, even if you do get it working, you're not going to end up using it." "You've got a hobby, right Eve?" "Yeah..." "Well this is mine; See you guys at the game tomorrow." Alexa walked down the streets of New Natal to head home when a mysterious man in a suit came from out behind a streetlight just to catch her as she was leaving the arena. "Alexa Ridge?" "Yeah, who are you?" "I've been watching you and your team perform over the last few months, and-" "Ah, you're that guy." "-and i'd like to offer you a place in the LED." "Legion of earth defence? If i wanted to join you I would go to the nearest recruitment center, why have you come to see me personally?" "Because we need someone to help us deal with a major threat to our world." "Aaaalright, why me?" The man remained quiet after this question, and instead moved a few feet to his right and opened the door of his car. "Get in." Alexa was skeptical, but wanted answers, and after a questioning stare, stepped into the car. --------------------- "Are you aware of what your mother and father accomplished in the last war, Alexa?" "Mom never stops talking about it, hell, some days i have to tell her to shut up." "Right, so do you realize why we're interested in you now? You're 16 and already have considerable skills, both in leadership and with a rifle in hand." "Sure, but what makes you think i can stop a global threat?" "We don't expect you to. Our enemy hasn't done anything big yet, but we have a good idea of what they are planning to do. They're still building in numbers, but we cannot wait for them to overpower us. We have to build our numbers and strike early." "Who is this enemy, may I ask?" "We're not sure yet, but they're expanding too fast to simply be a small rebel group. Tanks, RPGs, old Warthogs, Ravens, Lancers, probably ex-Microsoft, but either way, give them the time and they'll be marching over Africa before the world knows what's happened. We need the best Alexa, you can help us with that." Alexa tried to respond but couldn't think of anything to say at this point. 16 years old and there were already people trying to take over her life, but she knew the path for her was that of a soldier, she didn't want to be like the other girls, but this seemed like way too much for her to take in. The Car pulled to a stop infront of her apartment and she stepped out and walked away from the car, the both of them still silent. Before she walked through the spinning door and into the building, the man simply said in a low voice: "Think it through Alexa" before speeding off down the neon and taillight lit streets of New Natal. --------- 6 Years Later --------- The pain never stopped, no matter what the pain. The pain of being alone was by far the biggest one. Despite the bullet wounds, and the shrapnel, being alone was the greatest pain she felt. 3 hours now, 3 hours of non stop agony, Alexa had to wonder how she was still breathing, and how she didn't already put a bullet straight through her head, but she just sat there, holding her wounds and trying to stay awake. | 2011-10-15 17:25:00 Author: Merc Posts: 2135 |
| ((Let teh epicness begin :kz: )) ?We all control our destiny, but in the end, our destiny controls us? A distinct car wades through the streets of S?o Paulo. 27 years have passed, and everyone had forgotten about what happened. The car passes by some buildings under construction, and the building where the survivors of the attack had sheltered in the last war. The car stops at a red light, its black painting and windows giving it a notable, yet subtle appearance. Inside it, a dark-haired man, listening to some Metallica songs while he looks around to check if everything is fine. The GPS isn?t marking any specific location, meaning that he?s just going for a ride around the city. Or at least that was what he thought. The GPS suddenly shifts to a live recording of a man in a suit, and the music fades out. - Rico! - Commander Jones, This is Rico reporting for duty! - Oh, come on, no need to act like that? - Ok? Jones, whadda ya want? - I?m calling you to tell you about today?s unscheduled meeting. - Unscheduled meeting? - Yeah. - But wasn?t this supposed to be my day off? - Yeah, it was, but you know, things don't go well, we are required! - Why don't they send the Army for a change? - Guess they could, but after Commander GDN dropped out, the entire Army got their heads up their a****? - I guess you?re right? Whatever, I?ll be there. Usual schedule? - Of course it's usual schedule! Commander Jones out! The music faded back in. Rico marked the SSO HQ in the GPS and drove on. -------------------- The meeting room was surprisingly empty. The only people there were the SSO and Sony commanders, and some bodyguards standing behind them. - Come in, take a seat Rico. - Did I get here too early? There?s no one? - Your timing is right. We wanted to speak personally to you. - Oh? What is it, that is so important? - The Ascension Group? - WHAT??? - Agent Rico, sit down? - Sorry? - Proceeding? The Ascension Group has appeared again. - But? After all that time? I thought they had disappeared? - We all did. But our contacts in South Asia had spotted cargo trucks with Ascension emblems on them. Five of them to be exact. - So they are still out there? And the Blackout group? - We are keeping an eye on them. But that?s irrelevant. What we want is intelligence about Ascension. We must know what both groups are up to. If we don't? - ?we could be suffering a new war, yeah, I get it? - We have prepared your equipment. Your squad is also? - Leave the squad alone. I?m doing this on my own. The Sony commander was about to reply, but got interrupted by the SSO commander: - Don?t argue. It's his way of working. - Fine? Agent Rico, your extraction will be waiting for you tomorrow at 600 hours, think you can manage that? - I don't think. I?m sure. Rico?s break had reached an abrupt end. However, it was the start of something big, something that was going to change his life, the lives of everyone, maybe the entire world? | 2011-10-15 17:51:00 Author: gdn001  Posts: 5891 |
| ((I apologize if my post doesn't make sense, but since I haven't really read or been apart of the other Console Wars, I'm just going to try playing it by ear with you guys' posts. I'm guessing there's a main building for Sony, apart from the SSO Building.)) ~ Frank Knowles, it seems like you were being promoted every week. Committed, so committed you could barely spend time with your wife or son. So committed they trusted you, on something, something massive. Codes, packages, things meant to be hidden, weird emblems. If you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen. Only, there wasn't a way out, e was committed, but ugly things occurred, people kidnapped, tortured, practically slaughtered. Rob, the guy in charge, (although probably just a codename or..Alias) had his eye perched on everyone, and saw things turn up. Frank already knew so much, and although he could hold all these things in, it wouldn't last. It was a trap, it had to be, get him to Canniba Valley, then end it right there. Only Rob didn't want to stop there. It could lead to other things. Even though we were nothing compared to them, and they could get their own judge, change the rules, they thought it was best to not get the court involved. Instead, the hospital. His wife won't know what hit her. An annual checkup, put something in the shot, a little pain will start up, give her something else, and then it reaches the brain, eating away. She'll be confused, hurting all the time, and miserable, and then it kicks in. You can't have someone like that around, so you best get rid of her, send her off to a mental home, they'll take care of her. But then, there was the son. Would we do the same with him? No, it would seem too suspicious. But, it could be in the family genes. No, not right after, I like variety, the spice of life. Although he's young, he hasn't experienced it all, I'm putting my sympathy face on, one clean shot, no suffering. But let him watch it, see the truth before he falls to the ground. Every day, kids are fed lies, but for a moment, he'll see it, and he might hate us all, but deep, deep inside, he knows it's better than just being drowned in a lake, curious, what were to happen outside. ~ Isaac kept remembering that awful, awful day, this time imagining what rob had going on through his twisted mind, the villain's perspective. But in all that tragedy, he was lucky. Too, too lucky. Isaac: "Sometimes I wonder if the rope was purposefully not tightened all the way, allowing me to reach f-" Heather: "Sir?" Isaac: "Oh, didn't know you were there, you can come in. I was just thinking out loud.." Heather: "I have the Vita File Reports you requested" Isaac: "Oh, thanks, I'll fill them out in a second, is it okay if I meet the new guy though?" Heather: "Of course, may I ask why though?" Isaac: "Well, I knew him a while back, involved in a Rescue Mission in Canniba Valley, caught in the trenches and pits laid out, with traps and explosives set around, apparently some were stuck for days, so we got them out, he was one of them" Heather: "Canniba Valley? But why trek all the way over there?" Isaac: "I've got some memories with the place. Some good, some bad, but I needed to go there anyway, and when I heard about people being stuck there, I rounded up a few men to help." Heather: "I understand sir. You go do what you need to do, I'll be in my office." Isaac: "Thanks." *Heather and Isaac get out of his office, Heather heading to her office, Isaac heading to the guest lounge."

| Head ache. Screaming. Pain. Michael woke up in the middle of a personal hell. Blood was being shed, people were dying, he could tell that much. The gun firing told him all he needed to know. The smell, it was overwhelming. Michael threw up what little he had ate for breakfast when he realized he was in a closet, or some small room. He had to know what was going on. He tried to get in the minds of one of the engineers, see what they see, but for some reason nothing was happening. The headache was getting worse. It didn't feel like any normal headache. It was hot. Very hot. That didn't make sense. They were in a bloody tundra, and the few heaters they had rarely worked. He heard crackling. The building was on fire. That was very, very bad. The screams, they were getting louder. His ears felt like they were bleeding. He had to do something. But what? That **** headache, it was getting even worse. Suddenly, he heard a door swing open and everything got much, much louder. He was grabbed by the shoulders. "Found him!", he heard a tough sounding man yell. "Alright, bring him to the truck!", he heard some woman respond, most of her voice taken away by the cries of the dying. He was being dragged. The headache was unbearable now. He started to scream, he couldn't handle it. His whole body hurt. "****, this boy got shot up. Jane, go get a medic or something!", the man, who he guessed was the one dragging him, yelled at what had to be the top of his lungs. Everything seemed to get quieter. His breathing slowed down, and if he could see Michael guessed that his vision would slowly be fading. | 2011-10-15 19:01:00 Author: Testudini  Posts: 3262 |
| ((Let the war begin...)) It's been a long 27 years for Microsoft, ever since the Comstock regime... The familiar smells of an exotic cigar once more filled the 120th floor of the Main HQ in New Natal, now considered a modern world wonder by today's standards (whether that's because of its ridiculous height or the many times it's been rebuilt is uncertain). The sweetly-tinted tobacco lingered in the air of the only office on that floor, and, if one were to inhale the aroma, they would find a taste similar to homemade candy. A familiar man in familiar green armor proceeded into the office. Scars and nicks in the once prominent armor show boldly on the weathered soldier, as markings from the wars past tell their own grim tales of sacrifice and hardship. Had it not been for his golden visor and the 117 on his chest, people would've mistook him as a regular Elite. "I'm getting too old for this," the Chief joked, saluting the President at his desk. Smiling, the gentlemen jokingly waves back, extinguishing his cigar in the ashtray. "Well, if you are," the President spoke, rising form his comfy seat, "you definitely don't show it." Although six wars is staggering for one to bear (not to mention pay for), Jack has found a way around it somehow. Though still looking as similar as he did several wars ago, the wizened Microsoftian still bears his own marks. His simple white suit is rather odd to see, for it has no pinstripes of any kind and it was a Friday, the most infamously busiest day of the week. Beneath the plain suit, a bold green tie with the Xbox X glowing a bright white stands out on a black button-up. A white homburg with a large black stripe covers Jack's head, concealing most of his age underneath. But, even with his digitalized efforts, his age cannot be hidden; little hints of gray can be seen in his goatee and eyebrows, despite his bright eyes saying otherwise. "Hmph, and this coming from the guy who doesn't shed a wrinkle after 50-something years," the Chief scoffed, walking up to Jack and shaking his hand. "Has it really been that long?" Jack questioned, "Geez, it feels like it was only yesterday..." "Ugh, and I still can't believe those ******* cigars haven't killed you yet." "After a few decades of being digitalized, one grows beyond the need of obtaining human-like diseases." "Seriously, with the amount of tobacco YOU smoke, it'd kill half of this city." "Take a whiff. It's imported." Master Chief tilts his head up and sniffs the air, then cringing as a result. "Indian," the Chief growled, "It has to be god-******* Indians." "Wouldn't have it any other way," Jack replied, the two now proceeding out of the office and to the elevator. The floors of the Arbiter Hall expand to the outer limits of the tower's interior, taking up the bottom 20 floors with its vastness. Various retailers and chains take up the sides of the large cavity, as this once economic promenade has been converted to that of a mall of sorts. Many lounging areas and benches help convey Microsoft's reform to peace and comfort, and there's even a small park in the center of it all to promote a more positive outlook on the future. In the north-western corner, Jack and the Chief proceed from the elevators. "15 seconds," Jack spoke, rather astonished, "I never knew elevators worked that fast..." "Puts travelling in a different perspective, huh?" the Chief joked, "Teleporting and surfing computer highways have misguided you so." "Bah, I'm getting to old for that now these days..." "You? Getting old?" "Of course. I'm gonna have to kick the bucket someday." The Chief stops, making Jack stop as well. "... don't start thinking about that," the Chief warily spoke, "'Cuz if you die, Sony and Nintendo won't hesitate to attack." "Things have changed since then, John," Jack casually replied, "They've changed as much as we have." "I understand that. But that's only because they want to be on your good side. Our army has been forcefully scaled back-" "It leaves more training for the troops we have left." "The Microsoftian economy isn't so hot right now-" "A smaller presence leads to a more communal society." "Jack. Listen. We're vulnerable, and we haven't been this vulnerable since Joe." Silence pasts between the two of them, as Jack glares through the Chief's visor. "... That's different," Jack spoke, showing a tint of anger in his voice, "Vulnerability was achieved through tyrannical desires." "... And yet we can't say the same about the first war?" the Chief questioned, after a brief pause. For a long while, Jack just stood there, thinking about the past. Had it not been for that specific war, things would've been different... "... Sony started it," Jack finally spoke, now rather wary, "But Please. Let's not dwell on what happened and focus on what will." With that being said, Jack proceeds to the front entrance of the hall, with the Chief right behind. Outside, a Warthog, accompanied by a COG escort, lies in wait. Several adoring fans swarm around the protected perimeter, only being held back by Elites, Microsoft's only remaining troops. Marcus is at the wheel, rather ticked as he sneers at the rabid crowds. "Since when did they let you drive?!" the Chief called out, trying to talk over the shouts and screams of the fans. "You ladies took your ******* time gettin' out here!!" Marcus roared, snapping his head in their direction, "These fans are annoying the HELL outta me!!" "Four wars and you complain about these guys?!" Jack shouted, "Wow!! I should've just sent you guys to riot control for training!" "Yeah, yeah, now get in!!" Marcus shouted back, "We're already 20 minutes behind!!" Jack and the Chief walk to the Warthog, the flanking Elites struggling to push back the adoring fans. As soon as they step inside, Marcus floors it as he and the escort speed away, causing the duo to fall over into their seats. Unphased, the two rearrange themselves and sit back down. "Where are we heading to again?" the Chief asked, "Seems like it's local." "There's a meeting going on in a town not far from here," Jack replied, "Apparently, some terrorists groups called The Ascension and Blackout are tag-teaming to take down Sony." "Sony?! Hah!" Marcus scoffed, "Might as well after all of the trouble they've caused us!" "I don't like the idea of attending this meeting either, but we have no choice," Jack spoke, waiving a contract signed by him and former-head GDN, "Besides, you never know if they'll go after us next." | 2011-10-15 19:18:00 Author: Outlaw-Jack  Posts: 5757 |

| " stupid rocks and.. and stupid... umm... rocks" Ivon muttered as he scrabbled uselessly at the side of the deep pit he so stupidly stumbled into. he tipped his head back and squinted at the bright light coming from the top of the pit. " HELP!" he shouted upwards, hoping someone will hear him. "HELP, ANYONE! HONESTLY I DON'T CARE WHO YOU ARE HELP!.. ALTHOUGH DON'T BE A MICROSOFTIAN COS THAT'S BAD.. OR FROM NINTENDO.. THAT'S ALSO BAD...UMM... AHHH!" he looked down sharply and kicked the floor, then twisted his head in agony as he heard his neck click. "OWWW..." he held his neck there for a moment and then lost his rag again and stamped his feet in fury. " ******* IT!". he slumped down to the floor, rested his head back against the wall and closed his eyes. he didnt want to spend another second in the pit, let alone another night, but he knew his chances of getting out were slim... very slim. ---------------------------------------- the night was cold and dry. Ivon mumbled something in his sleep, then coughed loudly and woke up with a start. " I'M SORRY MOTHER!" he shouted, standing up and spitting loudly. he looked around, relaxed in boredom and sat back down again. " this. is. endless." he announced to the cold of the night. he thought about his mother. about how she used to smack his hands with a light green fly swatter and shout " no no, you a vewy fat boy!". ivon held his stomach. " I.. I have to eat.. or. i will die.." he whispered slowly under his breath. a tear rolled down his cheek and he wiped it off. he sniffed and curled up into a ball and fell asleep. ---------------------------------------- "come on ya ******* bird!" Ivon moaned as he poked his stick at a small berry bird, pecking at a branch with one small red berry resting on it. he couldn't quite reach it, but he knew he had to if he wanted to last another day. he looked at the wall surrounding him and found a small ledge." perfect" he said as he climbed onto it. he bent down closed one eye and pointed his stick towards the bird. then he jumped at it. the bird panicked and flapped to take off, but the stick pierced its wing and it was pulled down with ivon as he landed on his face. he didn't care though, he had food. ivon stood up and wiped the dirt and blood off his face. then went to take a bite out of the bird but stopped and pulled a tooth out of his bottom lip, which he flicked carelessly to the side. he spent the next 20 mins trying to pluck the bird and then 10 mins shouting and then another 30 mins trying to get the sticky feathers off his fingers, then another 5 mins cussing, then another 10 mins eating. he couldn't be ars*d anymore. he really couldn't.

| ((Does anyone know where the Nintendo capital city is, or if there is one?)) Captain Johnny Williams read the morning post from the safety of his armchair. He was intrigued by a paticular article about The Blackout. He had heard about them briefly before, hearing his C.O mention them. Before he could divulge further into the article, he was interupted by a familiar voice. "Wat'cha readin' there captain?" Corporal Alex Smith asked. "Nothing that concerns you Smith," Williams replied. Smith was the joker of the Hyrulers. He was very skinny and had spiky brown hair. He was a master of stealth and close combat, always keeping his katana on his back. Williams got up from his chair and put down the paper. "Ready for a game of Mario Kart sir?" Smith inquired. "Maybe later pal," replied Williams, "I got some stuff I gotta do." He left the Hyrulers living quarters and headed up the nearby stairs. After many flights of stairs he arrived at the roof. He carefully walked to the edge of the building. He sat down, with his feet dangling over the side. He stared out at the setting sun. This was easily the tallest building in the city, so the view was fantastic. This was were Williams went to think. About the past. About the future. About all the atrocities he'd commited. He recalled a certain painful memory from his time in his old Sony gang... | 2011-10-15 21:11:00 Author: sheepysean13  Posts: 27 |

| Rico couldn't sleep well that night. He could only think about the Ascension group and the upcoming mission. ------------------ A large plane (http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/bc/C-17_test_sortie.jpg/800px-C-17_test_sortie.jpg)taxed throught the Sony airfield. Both Commanders were nearby, talking to each other and waiting for Rico. The black H3 appeared from the front gate, speeding along the airfield and stopping near them. Rico came out of it. - You're late. - Guess I was... - So, do you remember the mission details? - Not much. - *sigh* You are supposed to parachute next to the truck's secret route. Then find a way to board them. Quietly, or they'll run away. - Got it. - Think you can do that? - I don't think, I'm sure. Or what is this for then? Rico showed the Commander his arm with the grappler attached. - Onwards... Once you are on the trucks, search them for anything interesting. Then get out, call the extraction team and we're done! - Seriously? That's all I gotta do? That's a walk in the park! - Yeah, keep bragging, Rico... - I'm outta here. I won't dissapoint you Commander! - I would be surprised if you did. ------------------- The plane flew above the Pakistan, where the trucks had been sighted. A man jumped out of it, skydived for 5 kilometers, then opened a parachute and landed softly among some rocks. Rico was on mission. A distant engine noise filled the air, coming closer. In a few seconds, the trucks appeared on the horizon. "Time for action", Rico thought whilst arming the grappler. The trucks passed by the rocks. A few seconds later, a wire attached onto one of them, and Rico pulled himself onto the back of the truck. The passengers felt a small bump, but that was expectable in the desert. Rico got into the cargo area and started opening crates. - Guns, explosives, more guns, are these guys preparing for another console war? Guns, ammunition, oh look, cans of food. He then spotted a notable container hidden in the back of the cargo. It was a hi-tech, metal crate with a keypad in it. The keys had strange symbols, but apparently were supposed to input a password. - What now? Maybe it's hackeable... Rico picked up a small PDA from his suit and attached a cable to the keypad. The PDA read: "Incompatible Hardware". - Well, that's a surprise... I guess I'll have to take the entire thing! Rico picked up the crate, which wasn't larger than a shoebox. He then jumped out of the truck, rolling on the soft sand and stopping. The trucks maintained their route. The mission was completed, more or less. Rico called the extraction team, whose chopper appeared in the sky to pick him up in a matter of minutes.

For me, I'm showing what's happening right now, and since you said in VM you just joined Sony and that you got rescued from pit, I put in my post that you just joined and that I'm about to help you with this and all.)) | 2011-10-15 21:56:00 Author: Dragonvarsity Posts: 5208 |

| It was drizzling and windy on the top of that abandoned building. It was pretty cold, but Dek didnt mind; he was too durable to be bothered by cold. It was night time, but you would hardly know it; the glow of the city bounced off the clouds, creating a tanish-gray sky that gave everything an erie look. The sounds of the city were just like any other night. But hopefully, today was not like any other night. Today, he might finally have the answer. It had taken only an hour of running, and he was there. The building where his mother had been murdered. The office where the only person he had every cared about had been taken away forever, and the man who did it was being payed off to stay quiet, and no one would ever know the truth. But no; he would find this man. He would find the one who did this, and he would pay. It had been several hours since the incident, so the building was long since deserted. It was night, therefore the streets were hardly busy. When no cars or people were in sight, he crept up the building, and broke through an upper window. It only took about 20 minutes to locate the security room. When he had entered, he found the system well designed and easy to figure out. He located the last few hours worth of camera footage, which were archived under "recent". He entered the time of several hours ago, before the incident could have happened, and fast forwarded. There was his mother, working in her cubicle, all alone. But then all of a sudden, she was gone, and several chairs and other objects were in different positions. He rewinded, discovering the same thing in reverse; his mother was suddenly just there, and the chairs were all back again. He checked the time and discovered that it skipped from 11:00 straight to 12:30. An hour and a half of security footage- deleted. It was all a cover up, and they thought they could go through with it; but no, this man would pay, the same man who thought he was getting away. It would only take time. Ten months later, back on the drizzling rooftop, Dek came back when he heard someone coming through the door of the rooftop. When he saw who it was, he jumped out from his cover. "Did you get what I asked for?" Dek asked. "Yeah, I got it," said the mysterious man. He held out what appeared to be a bulky USB drive. "Good. Heres your payment." Dek held out a wad of cash. "Look man, youve been at this for a while; you sure this is gonna work? Maybe its time you hung up the towel, skipped town, and went to some run down little city." "No. Never. This man has to pay, and its fine time he does. Before he can pay, I need to know who he is, and this will tell me." Said Dek, grabbing the USB "thing" and throwing the money back. "Yeah, but, its just, this is the third device Ive given you; the other two didnt work. That footage your lookin for was deleted 10 months ago, its prolly long gone. What makes you think your gonna get it?" "Ive researched this system, Ive researched how it works. No matter what happens to that footage, its still on there, forever. Its set up so that what theyre doing cant happen. I know how it all works, Ive had ten months to learn. This device will work, Im sure of it. Ill get that footage, and Ill find the ba****d who did this to my mother, and he will die." "This stuffs going to your head man, maybe you should-" But Dek was gone, already leaping across the first building toward his frequently traveled destination. | 2011-10-15 22:16:00 Author: ATMLVE  Posts: 1177 |
| ((Right, here we go. Oh and btw, everyone's introductions are epic. )) A tall, wiry figure sped through a two foot gap inbetween a pair of ornately twisted trunks; the matte black mountain bike accelerating through the forest. The trees whipped past, the person deftly snaking around the oak trunks like she was practicing ballet. Just slightly more artistically. The bike launched off the foot of the hill, flying through the air at what seemed like an unmeasurable speed. The small monitor attached to her bars said different; she had reached 43 miles per hour, the bike slicing through the air like a bird of paradise. Except a bird of paradise needed flashy coloured plumage to show off. She was dressed in muted camouflage tones which blended into the autumnal scenery like a chameleon to, well... stuff. She only needed pure skill, and that alone gave her a reputation few could dream about. Before she had joined Sony's ranks, she competed proffesionally in downhill competitions, never placing outside the top three. "A true legend." as many said. And the weird part? That quote was never followed up by the phrase "For a girl.". Ziggy had already dropped 10 metres, now she was readying herself, bending her knees for the incoming impact. Like always, the bike's back wheel landed before the front. Exactly like it should do. She flicked the gear shift with her right thumb, producing a soft click. She barely registered the increase in resistance and began accelerating onwards towards the next naturally designed ramp. Whilst airborne, she quickly kicked the bike's tail out to the left and spread her arms out wide. She was flying. And it felt EPIC. She caught the bars and pulled the back end in, just before she was about to eat it. The awakening mixture of dopamine and adrenaline surged through Ziggy's bloodstream, powering her on and relieving her intense fatigue. Her bike was now blazing a trail on top of a fallen log, some 20 metres wide in circumference. And that was where it all started to go wrong. The front wheel dipped into a miniscule dent in the trunk, Ziggy resorting to instantaneous reflexes and swerving off course, banking sharply to the right. She rode on, aware that she had never gone this way in any previous training excercises, but simply reassuring herself that her journey would be more interesting if she varied it up a bit. As it turned out, the journey became more interesting instantaneously... If you'd call cycling off a cliff interesting. The bike dropped out from under her as she let go of the bars for one final time, her hands scrabbling for the draw cord attached to the parachute worn on her back like a rucksack. The plan was to use it further on in the journey, but when you're about to die a painful death, you tend not to think too much about the future. Her hands grabbed the pull cord and tugged, hard. No response. She tried again, nothing. Third time lucky? Nada. This was when Ziggy started to slightly panic a bit... At least until the cord snagged on a branch and opened the black slik canopy above her head. She breathed a sigh of relief... At least until she realised that the grouund probably shouldn't be trying to meet her that fast. Ziggy had no time to prepare for this landing; she hit the ground hard, her knees buckling and her head smashing against the solid earthen ground, completely ignoring the pile of soft leaves convieniently located 5 metres away from where she landed. The last thing she saw was a small sparrow resting on a gnarly, weathered branch; head tilted sideways curiously, it's body static and unruffled by such a barbaric creature falling out of the duck egg blue sky... And then everything faded to black. | 2011-10-15 22:17:00 Author: abyssalassassin  Posts: 717 |

| (( uhuh i got it, you guys went on a rescue mission and got me out and now im the new guy at your place right? )) ((Yeah, if that's alright. I tried to make it in which you didn't join right away but like, 4 months and a half after what happened. Ima make another post later, just need a little confirmation from 2 other people on being able to use their character in a flashback.)) ((EDIT: Got confirmation for both, now letz do this > ))*4 and a half months ago* Isaac: "Okay, a quick round-up. I just lifted up one guy, he's waiting by the truck, and I got another one in the truck, must have fainted though by not eating anything. Have you managed to find anyone, Martinez?" Rico: "Two aswell, although one of them was pretty hefty, so if we're playing Save the Most Humans, does that one count as 2 for me, plus the other one, making it three?" Isaac: "Very funny, are they in good condition?" Rico: ""The Hefty one's alright, although he kept yelling when I was searching, must've been pretty desperate. That other dude though has sme bad gashes on his left leg and right arm, can't trust these different valleys, 9 traps I had to disable, it ain't easy." Isaac: "They're making this place off-limits after this mission, but I'll have to go downhill, I need to check if something is still there." Rico: "Like what?" Isaac: "Like a shelter. But I'm getting off topic, were there any signs of infection for that one guy?" Rico: "I'm no doctor Isaac. I can tell if a bike's rusted, or if a gun's not loaded, but that there is a whole 'nother ball park. Why don't you see for yourself, or let Ziggy have a crack at it." Isaac: "Where is she by the way?" Rico: "Oh, I don't know. Probably seeing how far she can bike along this dangerous road until she gets her head blown off by a claymore mine." Isaac: "I'll give her a call, see what she can do." *Back to Present Time* Isaac starts walking over, out of his office, taking the elevator down to the guest lounge. ((The two might not seem to catch up as much as they should, but it's not like last time they met was 4 and a half months ago, more like a week ago.)) Isaac: "Hey Ivan, good to see you, I suppose the interview went well?" Ivan: "Yeah, it did. Thanks for letting me give this a try, hard to find a job these days." Ivan and Isaac walk out of the Guest Lounge and through the Halls, and then go to Ivan's office. Isaac: "This is where you'll be working, part of your job is helping approve contracts for upcoming Sony advertisements, but there's other stuff aswell that comes with it. Raphael here will explain what you need to do, and if you have any questions, you can ask him, Heather, Me, or anyone else here. I'll be at my office, which is 4 floors up, 3 doors down from the elevator, to the right. Although, I'm going to be leaving in about 2 hours, taking the rest of the day off." Ivan: Oh, okay. Well, thanks again Isaac." Isaac: "No problem." 2 hours later, Isaac gathers his things, and leaves the office. He drives through the neighborhood, a storm just ending, but still casting a grey tint over the place. Not the friendliest neighborhood, especially after the lovely Mrs. Cavenger died. There was an old man, widdower of Mrs. Cavenger, named Herbert, with the street road seperating his house, from Isaac's. He had been in the war, knew some things, but people had known his brianw asn't functionaling properly, probably Alzheimer's. He was an old man, alone in the world, nothing to show but some old war stories. Don't get off on the wrong foot, be late to joining him for a discussion planned, and it wouldn't continue well from that. He had nothing to do really, but watch what happens. But, after all the tough events that went on concerning him, he might just be a very useful part after all. Isaac pulled into his driveway. He walked to the door, but suddenly, he noticed something. The corner of the outside of part of the house, tucked in the corner, behind the bushes, although a part stuck out some, being a tad visible to the naked eye. He went over and ltried pulling it out. Lifting it up, he saw a symbol, put on all four sides, and a note was attatched. Before he could open and read it, his eyes shifted right over to Herbert's House, and for a glimpse second, he saw him, through the window, with a camera in his hands. He cowered away, quick as a fox, not daring to touch the blinds or any of that, knowing it would show even more proof he was watching what had gone on. Isaac went inside, lifting the rectangular shaped crate, with the note still in his pocket. He then decided to read the note to himself... "If you cannot finish what you started, let the next one on the list do it for you." Isaac paused for a short while, didn't know what to say, what to think, but just sat. He had to call someone, and although he didn't know what he was going to get himself into, he had to be smart. He tried calling Rico, and it took a while to finally get an answer... Isaac: "Pick up, pick up..." He then heard a car pull in. He moved the curtain just a touch, and saw a police car. He looked straight to the crate, he had to hide it. There was no good place nearby to hide it, except- the kitchen. In the droors below, not many pipes around one area, could it possibly hold it, nothing in the way, he quickly lifted it over, with the phone on the table. It managed to fit, thankfully it fit properly. He could hear the cops get out of the car, time for a plan. ((long post is long)) | 2011-10-16 00:34:00 Author: Dragonvarsity Posts: 5208 |
| Rico entered the helicopter and took off back to SSO base. -------------------------- The agent showed the strange box to both commanders. - This is all I could get my hands into. Well, not really. It's protected by a code of some sort... - What sort of code? - The sort that I can't crack. - Hmmm... We'll send it to the scientists to analyze. You did a good work. Stay in touch, we might need you again soon! Realizing that his well-deserved break was suddenly gone, Martinez left the two men in the room without saying a word. He headed for his car and right before he was going to start the engine, when his PDA started to ring. - Damm! Where is it, where is... Oh, right there. Call from Isaac. | 2011-10-16 03:37:00 Author: gdn001 Posts: 5891 |
| He was right; as he had known he would be. He was in the security room for the five hundredth time, only this time, the first time, we had what he wanted. The evidence. It was there, right where the online schematics for this computer system had said it would be. The ten month old deleted files. He clicked on them with a trembling hand. It was everything he had always wanted, to see the man who had done it. And there he was; but as he advanced on his mother, Dek felt himself... Looking away. He couldnt watch. He fast forwarded for a little bit, his watering eyes averted from the screen, until he decided to look back. There was his mothers body, being taken away by a Microsoft agent. And there was the man who had killed her, in holding by another agent. At that moment, Dek felt himself, for the first time in ten months... Crying, tears sliding down his face. He blinked away, then looked back. This man, he would pay. He would pay dearly. As Dek got up, he took the hacking device out of the system and truly looked at it for the first time. On the back, under the patent number and the usual disclaimer, there was an emblem... The word "Nintendo" surrounded by an elipse with straight sides, like a track. "Nintendo," Dek said aloud. "I like that name." | 2011-10-16 04:02:00 Author: ATMLVE Posts: 1177 |
| ((Hmm says Speedy after sitting for 5 minutes trying to figure out what to write... >.>)) Rhym awoke with a start. He was disoriented and had no clue where he was. After a few seconds of looking around, his eyes adjusted to the darkness. He saw that he was in a dark room no bigger than the house he grew up in. He started to remember where he was. Rhym had just gotten out of the Sony Headquarters and began to work his way into the mountains. He didn't know what he would find, who he would see, or how he would survive. All he knew was that being in the city was not healthy for him. While exiting the city, Rhym had a close call with one of the Sony operatives. A man pulled up in He saw the man in the car but didn't register who it was. It wasn't until Rhym got closer that he saw the distinct car with the black tinted windows that he realized who it was. As he walked past the car, he noticed that it was Rico. Instantly, Rhym jumped behind the nearest cover which just happened to be a park bench. He didn't need to worry though. Rico was paying much more attention to his phone call than to anything else that had been going on. Rhym was just walking along through the streets of the city that Sony Headquarters was in. ((I don't know the name! D: Sorry... I'll update when I find out! And yes. This is a flashback inside a flashback.)) All of a sudden, a swarm of Sony troopers came rushing out of the building across the street and grabbed Rhym by the arms. They handcuffed him and as he struggled to get away, they knocked him out cold. He awoke in a small, metal room ((Wow... Rhym should hate small rooms now... xD)) and was told over a com system that he was under custody of being an Microsoft faction Revivalist. Rhym didn't know anything about the Microsoft faction, let alone a revivalist group. After a few days of custody, the guards let him out to exercise. Rhym knew that he needed to get away from that place. So he tricked the guards into thinking there was a distraction behind them by yelling: -Look! A distraction! And then running in the opposite direction as the guards turned to look. Rico was the one in charge of capturing Rhym. After seeing him, Rhym knew that he needed to leave. Faster than he was a minute earlier. So he sprinted to the nearest exit to S?o Paulo. About 20 miles out, he found a trail head leading up to the top of a mountain. Rhym thought this was the perfect place to escape to so he started running up the hill. Halfway up, Rhym learned that this was a terrible, terrible mistake. He had to do his buisness so he stumbled off the path and found a camouflaged metal door with SONY written on the front. Three seconds later, an alarm pierced the silence and he heard the blades of a helicopter starting to spin up above him. He knew that the only way to get away would be to steal that helicopter. So he did what any sensible person would do. He ran toward a helicopter loaded with heavy weapons and trained fighters. Surprisingly, the tactic worked. The pilot thought he was the last gunman who had gone to the bathroom. So they waited for him to board. As soon as he got on the helicopter, Rhym grabbed the first thing he could, a fire extinguisher, and hit the gunmen on their heads. He threw the co-pilot out of the chopper and told the pilot to teach him how to fly. Fast. 5 minutes later, Rhym was in the air and on his way to the unknown. Once he noticed that the gas was running low, he found the nearest hiding place. Another mountain. Unlucky for Rhym, the gas gauge was broken. It always said there was an entire tick more fuel than there was. Lucky for Rhym, the parachute was right next to him. So he jumped and pulled the cord. He parachuted down for about 20 seconds before getting caught in the trees below. He hung there for a few minutes trying to figure out how to survive dropping the last 50 feet to the ground. Once he was down, he worked his way toward a cave in the cliff in front of him. That's when They attacked. Rhym was knocked unconscious. The last thing he heard was what sounded like somebody falling through the trees and hitting the ground close by. Though They didn't seem to notice it. So that's where I am, thought Rhym. I'm stuck in a cave after being dragged here by Them. All of a sudden, a part of the wall started shaking and They entered. ((God that was long... Took 20 minutes to write it! Anybody think it was a little too much flashback? I was trying to explain how Rhym got to where he was but I wanted him in the cave at the beginning... P.S.- So am I doing this right? P.S.S.- Highlight the lighter sections if you can't read... Sorry about that! D: Final Note- I hope it was O.K. to use the 2 of your' guys' characters... One is EXTREMELY obvious but the other is hinted. I think I'm good for the hinted one but I'm just saying.)) | 2011-10-16 04:24:00 Author: Speedynutty68  Posts: 1614 |
| ((If I'm the "Hinted" guy, then no problem its fine. So when you mean coming closer to the car that Rico's in, I suppose the car is also driving by as Rico's on his way to help? Idk, but anyway, just curious but when you stole the helicopter, how did you gather a bunch of men, when it was just you getting onboard. Or did there happen to be a group of tough people who like to take commands from strangers? )) | 2011-10-16 04:52:00 Author: Dragonvarsity Posts: 5208 |
| ((You were the obvious guy... xD You didn't think the whole thing with Rico was obvious? No... abyssalassasin was the hinted one... It's taking place like right as Rico gets the call from Jones. I don't think I clarified that helicopter part enough... The pilot (Who should be rushing to go attack the intruder) was waiting for the last gunman to board. There were already some on there. They get knocked out and put off the helicopter and then you go for the pilot. Who is just what his title says. A pilot. Not one of those big, jocky guys that knows how to fight. Note to all- Nevermind... It's not allowed... xD)) | 2011-10-16 05:08:00 Author: Speedynutty68 Posts: 1614 |
| Present Day Alexa sat back in her chair on the 20th floor of the MS building in New Natal, with a newspaper in hand and a coffee on the table in front of her, a break from listening to annoyed customers talk about how they want refunds, and how their Xbox live accounts were banned. A normal person would have quit after 2 hours of being yelled at, but she found a way to deal with it, or rather, she just didn't care about anything anymore. She used to think that she would be able to save the world, that night that the recruiter came up to her, she thought it was her purpose, but there's always 1 person that's going to stab you in the back the first chance they get. While she was reading through the paper, an article caught her eye. The headline read: PREVIOUS ASCENSION GROUP MEMBERS PIGGYBACK ONTO BLACKOUT. She raised an eyebrow but wasn't suprised, both groups seemed to share the same goal. After skimming over the article, there wasn't any new information, it was mainly just asking questions about how they've come back after 20 something years being off the record. If she was still in her pursuit of them, she might have thought it was important, but the only thing important to her right now was her next paycheck. She propped her feet up onto the table and put the paper down to see the MS president and his friend clad in olive drab armour come out of the elevator. She took another sip of her now luke warm coffee and tried to eavesdrop on their conversation. "...have changed since then, John, They've changed as much as we have." "I understand that. But that's only because they want to be on your good side. Our army has been forcefully scaled back-" "It leaves more training for the troops we have left." "The Microsoftian economy isn't so hot right now-" "A smaller presence leads to a more communal society." "Jack. Listen. We're vulnerable, and we haven't been this vulnerable since Joe..." Alexa thought about this for a second, about the state of the company, but her mind quickly trailed back to what she was going to do on the weekend. ((Also: ((Note to all- They are going to be secretive for a while. They are not part of Ascension or any of the main groups from the other wars. These are guys that were behind the scenes workers in the past wars. Remember when your favorite gun went missing? And then that grenade that you SWORE you left on the counter? That was them.)) ((You can't do that unless you change it so that it is an old group from TCW 3 or something, this is way too gamechanging otherwise. Send me a message with the details or just make it so they're Blackout members.)) | 2011-10-16 05:59:00 Author: Merc Posts: 2135 |
| Tratado, renamed in relevance to the treaty signed between Sony and Microsoft after the last Console War, lied south of New Natal along the border of Mexico. Ever since Jack's last visit, the recent economic downturn and a drastic earthquake has reduced the city to that of a poor shantytown. Though still habitable, former blocks have been converted to improvised living spaces, with various tents and flaming trash bins serving as basic utilities and appliances. Various animals and pets roam free on the ruined streets, and what was once government buildings now served as residences and hideouts for various gangs and thugs. But, despite all of this anarchy and chaos, people cleared the streets when the convoy roamed through. "This place is crap," Marcus sneered, "Makes you wonder why they'd ever name a s******* 'treaty'..." "Foreshadowing, maybe?" the Chief joked, looking over at Jack. "Better hope not," Jack scoffed, looking back at the Chief, "Because I won't hesitate to use you as a human shield if something happens." "Hey-hey-hey," Marcus called back, "That's my job." "Don't get your hopes up," the Chief corrected, "We're here." The convoy rolled to a stop in front of the now-former courthouse. Graffiti coated the large Roman columns and brick walls, an all of the windows were spray-painted black on the inside. If it weren't for the broken clock tower and its worn copper dome, it'd lose all resemblance of a courthouse altogether. Two young men stood at the doors, with their faces concealed with bandannas and hoods and armed with old assault rifles. Their fierce gazes and pierced skin didn't help put a positive spin on the situation. Stepping out of the car, Jack and the Chief walked slowly up the steps to the front door, with Marcus carefully observing them and their surroundings. "Diplomatic my a**," the Chief growled, moving his hand near his Desert Eagle. "Hardly favorable, but no cause for shooting," Jack whispered back, putting his hand on the Chief's arm and stopping him, "At least not yet." Once near the door, the two guards simultaneously aim their rifles at the two, stopping them abruptly. "Only Jack is allowed into this meeting," one of the guards growled, staring directly at the Chief, "And no weapons." "You're kidding me, right?" the Chief spoke, "You really think an antique like THAT will stop-" Jack stuck his hand out in front of him, stopping his rambling. "Just shut up and wait here," Jack mumbled, looking at the Chief with a glint in his eye. Understanding the situation, the Chief humbly steps back as Jack proceeds through the doors. One single light flashing above a podium was all Jack could see... through his regular vision. Noticing the situation, Jack blinks as his eyes flash briefly to a dark green, with his irises spinning to a setting. With his sight converted to night vision, all figures were visible: 10 Helghast troopers with assault rifles, 4 COGS with Lancers, and 1 Heavy with a minigun. It's highly unusual to see both Microsoftians and Soniites together in the same vicinity without warfare. Then again, so was the first meeting in this building, only with a lot more soldiers, a lot more tension, and two high-ranking figures with radically different points of view. Clearly, this was the treaty in action. "Welcome sir," a suited gentleman proceeded, emerging from the darkness and into the light. Jack quickly blinks once more, switching back to his normal vision to see the simply-suited man. Frail- and scraggly-looking, this man looked more like an under-nourished monkey than a man of diplomat. The suit drooped over his small shoulders, and his pants went well beyond his ankles. His partly-toothy grin was a sight to behold, as gaps in the rotted mandibles obviously revealed his physical health. If this was the Blackout's attempt to fool Jack, then they were clearly failing. "I'm so glad you could... join us, this evening," the scrawny man chuckled, trying to contain his lunacy. "Yeah, yeah, let's get this over with," Jack growled, clenching his fists, "Seems like no one showed up anyways." "Oh, about that. See, the council has already... made their decision, so they were excused early." "Decision... without my input?" "Precisely. Unfortunately, your presence isn't that of much importance anymore, as evidenced by the council's swift actions." "Then why was I summoned here?" "Why, to enact the council's decision, of course..." The diplomat began smiling rather widely, his eyes starting to bug out and go crazy from his insanity. A raspy chuckle emulated from his rotted grin, as he stared down Jack in a highly accomplished manner. "I hope you understand, sir..." the man giggled, trying to uphold is composure. "Why, of course, sir..." Jack replied, now smiling slightly to himself as he notices the butterfly knife out of the corner of his eye. With a sharp spin and a flying elbow, Jack nails the Spy in the side of the head, knocking the surprised assassin off his feet. As sudden as he spins, the crazed poser leaps out of his baggy clothing and exposes his true colors; a lattice-work of exotic tattoos and rags of clothing covered his body. But before the loony could grab onto the distinguished politician, he's stopped in mid-air, floating ominously and unable to control himself. Only after a couple seconds of hassling does he realize the Kinect-like powers that Jack has grasped him by. Only, the Kinect device was completely absent; Jack has absorbed such powers into his own programming. With a swift push, Jack hurls the loony into the judge's podium, smashing it to pieces and signaling the troops-in-wait to open fire. Quickly rolling back, Jack swipes his hands to his right side and uproots the jury seating, ramming the bulky box into some Helghast soldiers and COGs. It would only prove temporary, as the COGs immediately began to tear through the wooden block of chairs. Back on his feet, he now notices the other side closing in on him, guns aimed and a plethora of shouts erupting. Thinking fast, Jack realizes his location and immediately grabs upward, grasping the clock tower's bell with his Kinect abilities. Before the troopers could close the gap, Jack throws his clenched hands down and tears the bell from its fastenings, making it shoot through the ceiling and slamming through the floor. With the roof now collapsing and the ambush temporarily distracted, Jack swiftly turns around to bolt for the door... only to see the hulking Heavy staring him down and smiling diabolically. "Eh-heh... move, please?" Jack sheepishly mumbles. "Oh-ho, how fun this vill be," the large Heavy laughed, hands readied to grab Jack. Outside, the Chief and the escort return fire on the other half of the ambush, this time with 20 various troops, ranging from brainwashed COGs to whitewashed Helghast and even rogue Agents. Gunfire hailed from all sides, as the escort shot back from behind their various vehicles. "S***!!" Marcus roared, headshotting a Helghast, "There's several of them!!" "*********!!" the Chief shouted, firing at an Agent, "Jack better have a good idea on what he's doing NOW!!" "He can be a real a** sometimes, you know!!" "After about 50 years by his side, I'm starting to notice tha-" "AUUUGGGGH-NAAAHHH!!" The loud bellowing collapsed the rest of the courthouse roof, as the Heavy was sent flying through the front doors and plowing into a set of troops. Close behind, Jack bolts for the Warthog, being closely followed by outpouring COGs and Helghast. Noticing the other troops surrounding the escort, Jack throws a right jab as he jumps down the stairs, causing an invisible force to slam into 5 Blackout soldiers blocking the road. "We're leaving!!," Jack shouted, closing the gap, "NOW!!" Heeding the order, the Chief and Marcus scramble into the Warthog, as the rest of the escort climb into their respective Mongooses and Choppers. The entire escapade floors it, zooming down the broken street as the rest of the Ascension party swarms behind them and fires away at their tailgates. They manage to nail a Mongoose, sending the ATV and driver careening into a building and collapsing it. "JEFFREY!!" Marcus shouted, looking back at the wreckage. "There's no time, Mark!!" Jack snapped back, turning Marcus' head back to the road ahead, "FLOOR IT!!" Marcus pushes the pedal to the metal, as the escapade picks up speed heading out of Tratado. Close behind, two Helghast tanks follow close in pursuit, hailing heavy machine-gun fire and rockets at the escort. "*******!!" the Chief roared, firing back at the tanks, "We're screwed if we can't throw these guys off!!" "Already on it!" Jack shouted back, respawning a Spartan Laser atop his shoulder. Going prone across the passenger and back seat, Jack fires off the laser at the base of one of the tanks, obliterating part of its steering. The crippled tank weaves back and forth and finally careens into the other tank, knocking both of them off of the road. As a parting note, Jack fires another shot, this time at the other tank and piercing its hull. The Helghast vehicle erupts in a ball of flame, satisfying Jack's insecurities as he climbs back into the passenger seat. "So much for diplomatic measures," the Chief growled, "Buncha militia types nearly r**** us." "They even got MY own men firing at us!!" Marcus recalled, "S***! This ain't right!" "They aren't our allies anymore," Jack grimly spoke, "What we just witnessed is what's left of Joe's regime." The Warthog went silent for a moment, the only prevailing sounds being the engines from the escort. "... *********," the Chief finally uttered, face-palming his visor, "I thought we were done with him already..." "He's done..." Jack replied, "His regime isn't." With a sharp turn and a long stretch of road, the escapade began its b-line back to New Natal, fleeing the city named after the ill-fated peace that'll soon diminish. ((Whoops. Didn't know it was that long. ^_^")) | 2011-10-16 06:36:00 Author: Outlaw-Jack Posts: 5757 |

| " waddaya mean difficult? " moaned Ivon, confused. " i mean... well" the interviewer shifted in his seat and wiped his brow. " your well.. your an idiot " Ivon tilted his head and then straitened up and crossed his arms in disbelief. " im good at hunting " Ivon announced proudly. he pulled a small half eaten, bloodied bird out of his pocket and held it high. the interviewer looked away sharply and said "ehh... put that thing in the trash!.. no, hunting wont be needed here Ivon. can you do anything other than that? ". Ivon held the bird over the bin.. and then put it back in his pocket instead. " im good at...." he made a couple of clicking noises and then said " im good at... daaa.. um.... working with Isaac". the interviewer closed his eyes and titled his head back and sighed. " fine, i guess you couldnt get a job anywhere else since Mcdonalds went bankrupt and Burger kings was destroyed after riots. you can work with Isaac." "yessssssss..." wispered Ivon, clenching his fist in success, then opening it again and wiping the bird blood off on the table, which made the interviewer gag a little. " now.. eww.. now get out your getting blood on the seats... these are fabric, it shows". Ivon met Isaac in the hallway outside. Isaac looked down at the bird poking out of his pocket. "whats that?" "its my breakfast, i got it this morning" Ivon said cheerfully while removing his stick from its leather holder on his back. he waggled the stick in front of Isaac's face and he pushed it away and laughed a little " why dont you eat normal food like everyone else". "because im not used to it." Ivon got a horrid flash back of his mother and shivered.

| -Flashback- London, 12 years ago "So you want to join the Solid Snakes then, boy?" A rough voice asked. Tyrone Redd was the leader of a pro-Sony extremist group known as the Solid Snakes. He was tall, well-built, bald and carried a desert eagle on his belt at all times. He was extremely dangerous and unpredictable, even being known to kill his own gang members if he had the slightest suspicion that they were traitors. "Well do you boy?" He asked again. "Y-y-yes Mr. Redd" A young Johnny Williams replied. In reality, he wasn't sure whether he wanted to join or not, he had promised his late parents that he wouldn't, but he needed protection, and revenge. "Good," Tyrone replied, "Come this way so we can see if you are up for the job." Johnny followed him for a few minutes until they arrived in a small room, used for interrogation purposes back when the Solid Snake's HQ was a police station. Now it was used for torture and sometimes, execution. In the room there was a young girl, no more than nine, strapped to a chair. "This girl was caught playing a Nintendo 3DS down at the park, an offence punishable by death in our rulebook," Tyrone explained, "You are to kill her." His voice was cold and ruthless. He handed Johnny a small pistol. "B-b-but, I don't want to kill her!" Johnny pleaded. "It's her or you kid, you decide," Tyrone mercilessly replied. The little girl was in tears, begging for her life, but it was useless. Johnny slowly raised the gun at the girl's head. His hand was shaking violently. He took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and fired a single bullet. -End of flashback- Johnny was still sitting on the roof of the skyscraper, but now it was nearly midnight. He thought about falling off, ending the pain and the horrific memories. This wasn't the first time he had contemplated ending it all. The only thing stopping him was his father's voice in the back of his head, urging him to carry on with his life. Johnny yawned. He headed down the stairs and into the Hyrulers section of the building, arriving in his quaters. He changed into some pajamas and lay down on the bed, falling asleep instantly. | 2011-10-16 10:14:00 Author: sheepysean13 Posts: 27 |

| Johnny overslept the next morning due to his late night stroll. He relectantly got up, had a shower, brushed his teeth and changed into his uniform. Knock! Knock! Someone was outside his door. "Hey Captain!" Corporal Alex Smith yelled, "You in there sir?". "Yeh Alex, what'cha want?" Johnny replied. "General Price wants to see you in the briefing room now." Alex informed. 'Price?', he thought, 'Oh geez.'. "Im coming." The briefing room was a large room that could be mistaken for a board of directors meeting room. In the center there was a long table, with seats at the sides and ends. At the end of the room was a glass wall overlooking the rest of the city, since the room was on the highest floor in the building (Other than the roof). General Donald Price stood at the glass wall, observing the city. "Captain Williams," he explained, "Have you heard of a group called Blackout?". "Only briefly sir," Johnny replied, "I don't really know anything about them though.". "They are a terrorist organisation who seek to destroy us all," Price paused, "and I think they may come after you." "Me? Why me?" Johnny asked. Before he could get his answer, a Falcon, painted pure black, flew directly in front of the glass wall. "Get down Williams!" Price yelled. They dove behind the table just as the Falcon let out a barrage of bullets from it's turrets. "MS troops?" asked Johnny, suprised at the turn of events. "No," Price explained, "These guys are with Blackout, they must have found you." He got out his radio and called for backup. "This is General Price, we are under attack! Battle Stations!" Johnny pulled out his dual pistols. He had left the rest of his weaponry back in his quarters. Price drew a single Desert Eagle, and the pair opened fire at the helicopter. The turrets hammered down at their cover. "Williams! If you're gonna do somthin' crazy like usual, now would be the time to do it!" Price yelled. "On it sir!" Johnny replied. He took a moment to collect himself, if he was gonna do this he would have to get the timing perfect, there was no margin for error. He leaped from behind the table, firing his pistols in mid-air. He scored a headshot on the pilot, and shot the turret operators through the chest. The Falcon fell down to the streets below. "Where'd you learn to do that Williams?" Price asked. "In all honesty sir," Johnny replied, "I don't know." Suddenly Price started picking up communications from the other soldiers on his radio. "They've breached the ground floor!" One soldier yelled, "They've got Helghast, COGs and Spartans. These guys mean business!" "Hold them back!" Price yelled back. Alex burst through the doors. "Captain Williams!" he shouted, "I need you to help me clear out some guys on the roof." "I'm on it, but first I gotta get some weapons," Johnny replied, "General, stay here in safety." "I ******* well don't think so Williams," protested Price, "Those Blackout goons are gonna pay for trashing up my building!" The trio headed down to the armoury. Johnny armed himself with a millitary shotgun, his dual pistols that took out the falcon, an RPG and a shed load of grenades and other explosives. Alex was using his Katana, a light machine gun and two micro UZIs. Price picked up an assault rifle, some grenades, a combat knife and his desert eagle. The trio again set off, this time heading for the roof. "Let's go kick some butt!" Johnny yelled. | 2011-10-16 18:24:00 Author: sheepysean13 Posts: 27 |
| ~ Four and a half months ago ~ Ziggy rode her bike over to where Isaac and Rico were standing. Rico: "Finally, we've been looking all day for you!" Ziggy: "Aww, really?" Rico: "Of course not. Just because this is volunteer work, doesn't mean you can go around wandering off, at least respond more when we call you." Isaac: "There's a guy in Rico's vehicle, apparently he has some bad gashes on his left leg and his right arm. I've got an emergency kit in the back, including some gauze. I haven't seen him yet, but Rico says the blood's a bit dry." ~Present Day~ Rico, is he alright? He didn't pick up, but he could busy. What about Dizzy... I probably should've given her a call. Is there still time? What about this crate, what am I going to do, what's inside it, will the police find it? Questions questions questions. Isaac had a lot of things rushing through his mind, and he couldn't take it. He tried to calm down again, and took a slight glance outside. The cops were getting out of the car. Not much time left now, not long before they walked right to the door and start knocking. Don't act suspicious, just open it, see what's the problem. The chest is hidden, it could've been hidden somewhere better, but under the circumstances, it might just work. One of the cops start knocking on the door, so Isaac walks over to open it. Cop #1: "Hello, we have the right to walk inside, see if you're hiding there." Isaac: "Whoa, whoa. What's this all about? I have a right to know what's going on." Cop #1: "You don't have a right to do anything, step aside and let us do your d@mn job." *The cop talked with an angry tone, trying to intimidate Isaac, also trying to seem tough, he pushed him to the side while walking in.* Cop #2: "Or to do a better job of explaining it, someone filed a report about smuggling of illegal objects, from foreign areas. Because of these things happening a lot lately, we decided to take a look." *Both cops started knocking a couple things over, flipping chairs and tables over.* Isaac: "Hey, watch it!" Cop #1: "Shut up, haven't we already told you that?" The cops draw closer to the kitchen, now entering the eating room. Cop #2: "Have you had any packages delivered recently?" Isaac: "No, well, except some old gardening tools from an Aunt." Cop #1: "Who mails gardening tools to....anyone?!" One cop examines the upstairs, and another, the rest of the downstairs, they come back together near the end. Cop #2: "Well, I guess there's nothing here, let's go." Cop #1: "You go get in the car, I ain't done here yet." Cop #2: "But-" Cop #1: "I SAID GET IN THE CAR." The second cop walked out the door, and they can see him going in the car through the window. Cop #1: "Now you listen here, I don't know what you're trying to gain from this, but you're hiding something, I can tell. I don't care what kind of sorry a$$ game you're pulling, but I am going to end it right here." "Enough." Heather walked inside Isaac's house. Heather: "You've done enough damage already, don't make me send some people over, we can drag you right out if we wish to." Cop #1: "Of yeah, says who?" Heather: "Says Myself, a member of Sony, with Level 7 Access to the SSO, so you lay a finger on one of us or another of Isaac's things, and we can send you off wherever we'd like." The Cop walks out, infuriated, to the car, and talks some with the other cop, as they drive away. Heather: (to Isaac) "I don't really have any access to the SSO.." | 2011-10-16 19:27:00 Author: Dragonvarsity Posts: 5208 |
| Ziggy came round a couple of hours after her near death experience, her whole head reeling from the rough impact. She got to her feet shakily; almost falling over and having to quickly lean on the nearest tree trunk. Problem was, her eyesight was a bit messed up and that nearby tree? It was actually twenty metres away. For a second time she almost fell flat on her face but caught herself with her left hand. Instantly Ziggy collapsed with the pain which rippled and twisted up her arm, the sensation felt like fireworks exploding from within her muscles. That and she couldn't move her fingers or twist her wrist at all. "Just great; brilliant, perfect. Because I really needed to break my hand..." But she felt slightly better that it was her left that was broken, not her right; the hand she held her gun with. Ziggy held a slight suspiscion that she was going to need her functioning hand more than ever in these surroundings, she had to remember that this wasn't her territory anymore, it was theirs. Simply the thought of being torn apart by feral beasts pumped a sense of raw fear through her mind and Ziggy suddenly felt extremely sick. This time she decide to stay still for as long as it took for her to stop feeling nauseous, drinking the entire contents of her water bottle to ease the overpowering feelings contained inside her. It didn't work; she violently started to bring up her breakfast. And all she could think about was that tomorrow morning there would be no breakfast at all. Ziggy decided that that wouldn't matter anyway. By tomorrow she probably wouldn't even be alive. If only she had provisions, she could survive out here for longer than a day or two, enough to replenish her strength and get her to the nearest town. It wasn't like she was supposed to be out here for more than a single day, but she had to mess it up... as always. With a smile, Ziggy remembered the action movies she used to watch as a little kid, where the hero became lost in the outback and survived somehow; generally through luck more than anything else. But she wasn't lucky and more importantly; this wasn't a movie. If she did end her life on this very ridge, no-one would give a ***** about her. Apart from Jak. The thought steeled her on and Ziggy began to observe her surroundings, noting the height of the redwoods towering over her. All of a sudden she felt extremely small and insignificant without her bike to ride to the upcoming camp, the camp that would make the move to a completely undisclosed location by daybreak. So, unless she got up right now and managed to hike fifteen miles in the condition she was in, she was buzzard food. Unlikely. Euphemism. Impossible. But if she could find her bike and by some amazing stroke of luck it was still rideable... there might just be a minute chance of her making it. Ziggy got up; much more slowly this time and clumsily stumbled over to the place where she remembered dropping the bike in midair and then edged carefully downhill. There was no sign of the dam thing anywhere she looked; but she refused to give up and searched for what seemed like hours, until the abyssal darkness set in which was dotted with incandescent stars glinting down at her. Ziggy's energy levels were now almost completely depleted and her strength was all but sapped by the pain pulsing through her body. Eventually she had reached the point where she was contemplating just lying down and letting the blackness take her for a second time. A one way ticket to hell. Her icy cold breath rose in misty clouds in front of her midnight blue eyes. And as she finally lay down amongst the bed of leaves and let the freezing cold night air engulf her body, she wondered if those would be the very last breaths she would take on Earth... That was when Ziggy recognised the distinctive shadow of her mountain bike nestled amongst the branches of the very redwood she had tried to lean against earlier. Sixty feet up. Well, if she was going to die, then it better be somewhere with a decent view. She gradually made her way to the base of the trunk and began to climb. | 2011-10-16 20:08:00 Author: abyssalassassin Posts: 717 |
| Martinez tried to call Isaac back, with no sucess. - Damm! Now that I found it he won't answer! He was about to give up and start the engine, when the PDA rang again. - It's him. He better pick up this time... Hello? - Rico! Finally you answered! - Finally? I called you back three times! - Well, yeah... I was having a kind of problem... - Problem? And what do I have to do with it? - Well, since you are the big agent guy from the SSO, I think you can help me with this thing... - Sorry, I'm not in the mood for helping you with you personal problems. Goodb... - I GOT A CRATE WITH AN ASCENSION EMBLEM STAMPED ON IT!!! - ...what?? I'll be right there! Rico turned off the PDA and set the GPS to Isaac's house. --------------- The black H3 (http://img714.imageshack.us/img714/6844/blackh3.png) parked outside his home. Rico walked to the door and knocked on it. - So, changed your mind? - Where is this crate? | 2011-10-16 20:49:00 Author: gdn001 Posts: 5891 |
| I was floating, and it felt good. i span and twisted and turned and drifted. the darkness was light and the light was so bright. heaven was close, but so far, but so near. this place was empty, but filled with cheer. rainbows and stars and nothing to stop me. yea.. it felt. good. * SMACK* Ivon sat upright and hit his head again.then he tipped his head back and saw a policeman standing over him with a baton. " what do you think your doin' sleepin' rough in this bin then eh?" he said smugly. "i.. um.. i have rights" Ivon said nervously back. he didnt know why he said that, he just heard people say it before. " no lad, you dont have rights, not if your sleepin in a bin. aint nobody who sleeps in a bin round ere and has rights " " well um... i work for sony " " we all do lad " the policeman said to him with a sigh." now come on, hop it". ------------------------------------------------------- Ivon really needed to find somewhere to sleep. this was his second night in the park bin and it wasn't comfortable. or hygienic. he strolled down the high street looking at mini hoverboard pencil holders and ps3 augmented add ons in the shop windows. he didnt get it. why would anyone want their pencils to float? and whats the point in seeing a 3D recreation of a digital product? he shook his head. Ivon didnt get the world anymore. come to think of it, he never understood the world. he shrugged the subject off and picked up his mobile telephone thingy and rang Isaac. | 2011-10-16 20:52:00 Author: nerzdadestroyer Posts: 1527 |

| Isaac let Rico inside the house. Rico: "This must be Heather, nice to meet you." Heather: "Same, and it's okay that I'm here, right?" Isaac: "Yeah, we just gotta make sure it stays between us." Rico: "So where is this crate you've got us all hyped up about for?" Isaac: "Under the droors, in the sink, I'll go get it." Heather and Rico sat there for a little while until Isaac came back with the rectangular crate thing. Isaac: "I'm not an expert on the Ascension group, but this looks to be their symbol." Rico: "Yup, that's it. But why would they give it to you?" Isaac: "Well, there was a note that came with it." Isaac got the note out of his pocket and starts reading it out load. "If you can't finish what you started, let the next one on the list do it for you." Heather: "Next one....on the list?" Isaac: "I'm not sure either, but obviously some task, whatever's in this crate, it must be something important." Rico: "Well, then. Let's open it up." Isaac: "Can't. There's a lock on it, and it didn't come with a key." Rico: "Perfect. Do you have any idea who could've sent you this?" Isaac: "Well, someone who'd need a reason to send it of course. Maybe they couldn't take care of it, or knew they were in trouble. Wait, I got it!" Heather: "What?" Isaac: "The security camera, they set one up aorund here around a month ago, they must have some footage from it." Isaac, Rico and Heather ot up, only for Isaac to get ringed by Ivon. Isaac: "Hey Ivon, this is actually sort of a bad time." Ivon: "Oh, well I was just wondering if-" The phone got disconnected, Isaac tried calling back, but no luck. Isaac: "That's odd. Well, we better get a move on." Rico: "Wait, just a second, we can't just leave the crate here for anyone to steal." Isaac: "Okay, but it's too suspicious bringing it through the front yard. You parked around the side, right?" Rio: "Yup." Isaac: "Okay, we'll move it in your car. Although, I want to be in that car aswell. Heather, if you're too busy with things, then you don-" Heather: "No, it's alright. I'll take my car and go there too, but I'm gonna take a different route if that's alright." Isaac and Ringo carried the crate out to Rico's car, Heather getting in her car, and the both drove off. | 2011-10-16 22:08:00 Author: Dragonvarsity Posts: 5208 |
| When Michael regained consciousness, he felt strangely amazing. The pain he was suffering earlier seemed to just have vanished. The mental distress that always haunted his mind was gone. He heard an engine, suggesting he was in a vehicle. "Hello Michael.", he heard a man say. He wasn't sure, but he thought it was the same man who dragged him out of that hell-hole. Then again, this man might have been responsible for it all. "Who are you?", Michael asked, in his monotone voice, speaking as if nothing had ever happened. "Nintendo soldier. We received a distress call from that little outpost you were at.", the man responded. "Though if you're asking for my name, just call me Skull." Michael turned his head toward Skull, as if expecting more information. "When we arrived, it appeared that a bunch of soldiers in Microsoft uniforms were just gunning down everyone. But hell, they didn't seem anything like Microsoft. Their uniforms were dirty and falling apart, and they didn't have the talent that every Microsoft soldier seems to possess.", Skull explained. Michael continued 'staring'. "I found orders on one of their bodies. It said to capture this man, and had a picture of you. You must be mighty important for them to kill almost everybody in a nearly isolated outpost." Michael nodded, seemingly unphased by the fact over thirty people were killed to get to him. "So tell me.", Skull began to say, when he was cut off by an explosion and the immediate crashing of the vehicle. Michael desperately tried to cling onto something, but found nothing. He was sent tumbling and spinning. All the pain came back, headache included. Then, everything was still. He heard footsteps, getting louder and louder. Suddenly a hand grasped his neck, and he was on his feet. "No idea why you're so **** important. Cost me half my men, you did. You better be **** special for that price.", the man grabbing his neck said. Michael heard Skull moan, then a gun shot, then a thump. 'Well then, best we get back to the boss eh?", the man said to Michael, who just stared at him with a blank expression. | 2011-10-16 22:18:00 Author: Testudini Posts: 3262 |
| - So, Martinez, you seem to be quite interested in that box. Why? Apart from it having an Ascension emblem... - Well, I had just gotten back from this mission, with a crate I took from an Ascension truck. Smaller than yours, but the same appearance and key lock. - I see... - The keypad is gibberish, we are never going to figure the code out. At least not by using slot machine logic... - That's a point. If we could get our hands on someone who actually knew more about their technology... - Someone who had participed of the fourth war? - Yeah... Unfortunately, most of those people are either dead or too old to be of any help. The car stopped suddenly, the tires leaving a track and a noise behind. Isaac had to hold onto the panel to avoid hitting it. - What are you doing??? - I know who we should look for. - Did you stop just to say that? - Think... Who had survived the entire fourth war, confronted Ascension directly and probably knows everything about them? - Well, I suppose that... Wait, no, it's impossible! - Oh really? - He's dead, Martinez, we all know that! - There's no proof of his death! - There isn't of him being alive either! And even if he is, how are we going to find him? - Throught his old contacts... Rico picked his PDA and wrote something in it. In a few seconds, a picture of a sackgirl appeared on the screen. She had black hair, a blue cap and large black sackperson eyes. The name read: TheZimInvader. - This girl knew GDN for a long time... She's our ticket to him. - Yeah? Her actual location reads: "somewhere in Florida". How are we going to find her? - Come on, look at this face. It's not easy to miss... - And what grants you that she's going to help us? From what I've heard, she and GDN had conflicts when he dissapeared. - You think so? - Yeah, I think so. Now, shouldn't we keep moving? Heather's car stopped behind them, souding the horn in quick intervals to ask what was going on. Martinez resumed the drive, followed by Heather, right behind.

| ((Sorry, but its been an unusually busy Sunday for me. BTW, I'm not val, this is just my Halloween disguise.)) Name: Epsilon Age: 20 Faction: Nintendo Description: Tall but skinny and wiry. Slightly tanned and his short hair is usually covered with a tossle or skull cap. He usually outfits himself with the standard Nintendo uniform. Weapons: Specializes in close quarter combat with an extraordinary effectiveness with shotguns. His signature being the Widowmaker TX. (http://deusex.wikia.com/wiki/Shotgun_%28DX3%29) Bio/Backstory: Entering the battlefield at an early age, Epsilon has climbed Nintendo's ranks with ease. His ability to react and make appropriate tactical decisions, coupled with his exceptional athleticism and reflexes make him a force to be reckoned with on the battlefield. Although he was a highly decorated soldier in Nintendo's army, he still acts like a young rookie, arduously working to ascend the military ladder. He shows little emotion on or off the battlefield as he is too preoccupied in his work. Many describe him as robotic but that doesn't depict him as well as it should. He is a humble and silent man who wishes to eventually become the Head of Nintendo's army but for now, he will just have to settle with a prime position in Nintendo's Spec Ops team. Previous Forum RPG experience? yes Been in TCW? yes Story writing experience? no It was a quiet and chilly night in the Badlands. (http://wiki.teamfortress.com/w/images/1/1d/Badlands5.png) The Badlands is an arid desert-like area located on Nintendo's border. It was easily characterized by the reddish and sun-dried stone that covered the dry land. Someone had built a base in this area, cleverly hiding it as mining facility. Nintendo quickly decided to take action at this hostile positioning for an unauthorized facility and their Spec Ops team was ready for job. They decided to make a play on the base during night. When activity was slow and the bright desert sun would not become a factor. Only six of them were sent on this mission as that was more than enough to handle this small fortress. Epsilon was chosen to lead. ((More tomorrow, gotta go study :/ )) | 2011-10-17 02:58:00 Author: Silver39  Posts: 1703 |
| 3 years ago Badlands -------------------------- Alex - I need two soldiers to my right and two to my left! - one soldier makes a dash from cover and tries to jump to Alex's side, he is quickly gunned down by there enemies Alex puts his rifle into position and takes a shot at his enemies without success of hitting one he orders his squad to withdrawl from the situation.That was a bad idea as five of his squad fall to the ground with a hole in there chest. Alex curses under his breath but continues running, only him and 2 others of his squad remain, they all slide into cover except for one who life is ended with a *CRACK* and a bullet in his skull. Alex and the last soldier stay in cover.Alex reloads his rifle. Alex - Whats your name private? Jenkins - Private...Jenkins...Sir - The boy sounds scared, his hands are shaking. Alex - have you got someone Jenkins, waiting for you? Jenkins - yes...sir He hands Alex a photo of his wife to be, Alex goes to hand it back but Jenkins seems to be reluctant to take it. Jenkins - keep it becuase If the worst should happen sir,I want you to give that to her, she will know. - Alex smiles and sees a part of himself in Jenkins Alex - right Private, we going to make a run for it are you ready. - Jenkins nods Alex - GO!!! - they noth run for there life and it shows, within half a minute they have lost sight of the enemy but without knowing it they have ran straight into one of the Badlands famous minefields and Jenkins steps straight on one both men are sent flying. when Alex regains his vision there is no sight of Jenkins, he Fears the worst and looks at the picture Jenkins handed him. | 2011-10-17 17:58:00 Author: butter-kicker Posts: 1061 |
| Ziggy boosted herself up the trunk, imagining that the way she was climbing made her look like a total retard. Looking on the positive side; at least there was no-one watching her... apart from the many bloodthirsty animals resting below, waiting for her feet to touch the ground to savage her. She stopped to take a breather, lowering her body down to a sitting position with her right palm and gazed at the iridescent moon. It was as if she had taken the jump off the cliff for a second time and once the bike had fallen out from under her feet, the world had stopped spinning. Like time had been frozen for an eternity. It was amazing. But it wasn't enough. Ziggy couldn't resist the temptation to make her way higher; so she began to climb for a second time. The sight that was patiently waiting for her at the very top was worth the effort. She couldn't help but gasp at the beauty unfolding itself infront of her very eyes. The view was more magnificent than she expected; the giganteous trees and sloped hills stretching far into the distance... but her eyes were instantly attracted to the wisp like smoke drifting above the treetops and for a second she didn't know why. Then common sense kicked in. The camp. It had to be her fireteam. There was no-one else around for miles, due to the fact that this place was Sony territory. If so much as a squirrel that hadn't been there at the time the gates around the complex were built was sighted, it would be shot on sight and made into lunch. Ziggy had actually sampled squirrel back home in England when she was a couple of years younger; albeit in the form of a limited edition Walkers crisp flavour. Even so, she doubted the real thing would taste the same. Subduing these rambling thoughs, she made her way back down a few branches to the level of the bike and broke off a reasonably thick twig from the trunk. She rested it on top of the branch above, one hand placed at each end to make a makeshift balancing aid and stepped forward, walking halfway along. She knew what she needed to do and straight out didn't like it. Scratch that; it was the most inherently ridiculous idea she had ever conceptualised in her entire lifetime. Apart from the falling off a cliff thing. That was in a whole other league. Ziggy started hyperventilating now; this only happened when she stopped to think about the pain and danger that could await her at the end. She pushed the thought out of her mind. It was now or never. In one fluid motion she dropped the stick and bolted over to the mountain bike, the momentum stopping her from falling off and meeting death's melancholous stare in the afterlife. Her right palm clasped onto one of the grips and her small nimble feet pushed off the branch, her body being propelled upwards. In midair she somehow managed to swing the bike backwards with only one hand, so that her feet were resting on the pedals and her body weight was tilted backwards slightly. She leant her left arm on the other side of the bars; trying not to alter her stance too much, bending her knees more. This was going to hurt. Badly. And for the first time that day, Ziggy was right about something. The force of the landing snapped her elbow back, causing her to bite halfway through her tongue and make her howl in pure, raw agony. She lost control as soon as the wheels came into contact with the ground and hit a monochromically tinted boulder; hurling her headfirst into a patch of overgrown brush. She faceplanted the soft, muddy dirt; her limp, lifeless body sliding across the surface. The mountain bike had given up. So had she. Ziggy welcomed the end with open arms. | 2011-10-17 20:48:00 Author: abyssalassassin Posts: 717 |

| ((Ok... Sick right now... So this part might not be 1) Well thought out. 2) Making sense that much. Maybe tomorrow I'll have better luck... Also, If something is in italics then that means it's either Rhym is thinking or I'm putting emphasis on a word.)) Rhym was terrified. He had been scared before. The earliest example was falling out of the sky after jumping out of a moving helicopter that he stole from a big corporation. That was nothing compared to now. Imagine being so weak that you're helpless. You can't move. Can't do anything to defend yourself. You can just wait for the unknown to happen. That was what Rhym felt as They were closing in on him. "Who are you affiliated with?" asked one of Them. Sounded like he was on the far right. "We know you're in this war. Now tell us!" Who am I affiliated with? What war? thought Rhym. "What do you mean?" Their shapes shifted a little. "Are you a Sony, Nintendo, Microsoft, or Ascension member? Because you're definitely not with us." "I'm not with anybody. I just escaped captivity from Sony. And I don't plan on going to anybody else." Rhym could tell this was not the answer they thought they would get. "Well, well, well. Looks like we have an unaffiliated. Welcome to the Blackout, new guy." As he said that, he turned the lights on. Rhym saw that he was right, this was a small room. It seemed like it was a cave. Then he started looking at the Blackout members. There were 2 men and a woman. Both men looked similar. Somewhere in their 30's. Maybe late 20's. Both were skinny and had slim black clothes on. Like they were some stealth operation guys. The woman looked like she had spent her life at the gym. She had the biggest muscles Rhym had ever seen before. She also seemed in her 30's. "Whoa, whoa. What do you mean 'New guy'? I never said I would join you. Actually, I think I said I wasn't planning on joining anybody." The look that the lady gave Rhym made him scoot back into the corner even more. "We said, welcome to the Blackout, new guy. We never gave you a choice," said the lady. "Now come with us." Without waiting, they left the room. Rhym considered his options. He could either follow them and most likely not suffer for disobeying them. Or he could sit in here until somebody came back and forced him to follow them in a painful manner. He decided on option one and hurried out of the room after them. ((So yea... I would write more, but my brain hurts. Curse you stupid illness! >:O Are any parts unclear? Have a stayed inside the guidelines? Who knows?! But I guess we'll find out next time.

| ((Alrighty, here it is, so sorry about the wait, once again.)) Isaac and Rico agreed that they would do some research about these previous contacts, but first, they would continue heading toward the Camera Station, which they thought might help lead them to who sent them the crate, but they're approached by a Security Guard. Security Guard: "Please state your identification, before you try waltzing right in here." Rico: "Rico Martinez, Sony Secret Operations Squad Leader, I should be able to look over any St. Paulao ((If that's where they are)) security cameras. Don't believe me, I have a friend who can prove you wrong." Security Guard: "Fine, do what you have to, but it make it fast..." The three went further inside the building, and reached one room, with camera footage for multiple neighborhoods. They again showed their identity, and then requested the footage they wanted to see. Isaac: "Well, it couldn't have been sent this morning, as it was hid behind a bush, and I was trimming the hedges before work, they were in dire need, so fastforward to around....10:00 A.M." They looked and looked through, fastforwarded, rewinded, nothing. They then saw Isaac driving in, and decided to stop there. Isaac: "This doesn't make any sense, the crate must've been put there at some time, why wouldn't it show up?! The camera has a clear view of the house." Heather: "Are you sure it would be visible at this angle?" Isaac: "Completely. It might've been only somewhat visible when I walked by, but the camera's attached to the street light, and it sees stuff below more, even though it's over by the street, it should've still picked it up." Isaac: "Wait a minute, is this camera still working?" Camera guy: "Yeah, here's some live footage going on right now of the roads." Rico: "What does the camera working have to do with any of this?" Isaac: "Well, if the camera's still working, and the footage had nothing sent over, then there must be some footage in between that was deleted. Could you back to the footage we were watching.? Camera Guy: "Sure." Isaac: "And is there any date to look at that goes by this footage?" Camera Guy: "The station's been undergoing some "glitches". For one, the date won't pop up here, although besides the footage today, it's the most recent stuff we got. Unless this guy's a master at bringing together the night of the day before yesterday with the dawn of today, you might want to rethink things." Isaac: "Wait a minute, what time is it when I'm coming into the driveway?" Camera Guy: "6:18 P.M." Isaac: "Okay, well I came home early yesterday." | 2011-10-17 22:52:00 Author: Dragonvarsity Posts: 5208 |

| - I think you guys should keep looking... - You are going to start looking into that contact thing already? Shouldn't we focus at this matter first? - I'm sure you can do that. Besides, we need to find a way to open it and see what's inside. - You got a valid point. - I'm going out. Call me if you find anything. Martinez exited the building and walked towards his car, thinking about what was happening. What if the crate had a bomb? Or was it just a decoy to distract them so they could do anything without alarming any of the factions? Regardless, Rico had to discover more about Ascension. He set the GPS to the Main Sony HQ and drove off. ------------------- Martinez was blocked at the HQ's gate. Even after showing them his badge, the sentries hesitated in letting him in. After some discussion, he managed to get inside. The commander was told of his presence, and Rico was sent to his room so he could explain the reason behind his visit. Rico told him about his idea of going after GDN, so he could help with the crate he had gotten back on the mission. He took care not to reveal anything about the other crate Isaac had found. - You're looking for GDN? What, are you crazy? - I knew you would say that, but just listen... - It has been 15 years since he dissapeared! And considering his state when he left, I'm sure of one thing: the guy's dead! - Listen... - And even if he isn't, how is he going to help? He's too old, probably insane, I don't blame him though, after what he has been throught... Man, how can that MS commander keep his head on his shoulders after four wars? - Sir? - Yeah, I warned you. Don't come back to complain after you... - I want to know another thing. - What? - Do you know anything about TheZimInvader? - If I do? I remember that kid... I met her when I still was a low-rank soldier... There was something wrong with her, but I never found out what it was exactly... - Do you know where she is? - Well, after GDN left, there was pretty much nothing keeping her chained to the army... So she told us she was going back to her hometown... Somewhere in Florida. - And you don't know the name of the town, by any means? - If I knew, I would have told you already, don't you think? - Yeah, that's right... Rico pondered over the potentially useless visit, but decided to try to go on with the few clues he had. - So, I'm going after her, ask her some questions... Can I borrow one of these fancy helicopters you guys have? - Well, you're lucky I'm in a good mood, so yes. We needed to take the things for a walk anyway... Have fun with your wild goose chase! --------------- As Rico walked towards the helicopter (http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20100718123559/justcause/images/3/38/AH-33_Topachula.png), he couldn't stop thinking about the matter. Where to search first? And how to search for Zim? One way or another, he wasn't going nowhere without that chopper. - Halt! Authorized pilots only. - I got authorization from the commander to take this vehicle for a personal mission. - Really? Let's see... The soldier asked the commander on the radio, then got a response and turned back to Rico. - Okay, you're fine... - Thank you. - Don't scratch the painting! We spent the whole morning washing these things! - Don't worry, I'm not getting into any trouble. Luckily. He entered the helicopter, the blades started to spin faster and faster. In a matter of seconds, he was above the city, and in a minute, he could see the entire metropolis of S?o Paulo going away behind him. ((I based that adrenaline junkie trait off my own personality... awkward moment. xD I'm not as extreme though, but even so, I will do stupid sh*t simply to conquer my fears. )) ((http://t3.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTB6rUfLXEHqEj4FoQf-L2yUob4IieWNXIa8hcw-sZoo4Vmh10MlCr7_o8 (http://www.google.com.br/imgres?imgurl=http://cdn.pimpmyspace.org/media/pms/c/v9/t1/dm/snake_okay.png&imgrefurl=http://www.pimpmyspace.org/comments/code/4168410/&usg=__8YwKMd3TrYB2lL-lK1GPFPb06PQ=&h=343&w=472&sz=63&hl=pt-BR&start=14&sig2=JZ2wf22LvQ16he4R_mupAw&zoom=1&tbnid=KHbHWfIPwD3cHM:&tbnh=94&tbnw=129&ei=q7acTrzwO4KksQK65MWRCg&prev=/search%3Fq%3Dmetal%2Bgear%2Bawesome%26hl%3Dpt-BR%26gbv%3D2%26tbm%3Disch&itbs=1))) ((By the way, if you don't have anything planned, I could stumble upon you and rescue you...

| Merely a week, and already he had an ID. It hadnt been hard; he had simply broken into an information building and hacked into the database and done a face search on the man. It turned out to be an important microsoft man, and still was despite his murder; which, obviously, no one knew about. Sirgin Garner was his name, currently living in an apartment on North 21st street. Unfortunately, this building was a private and heavily "guarded" building; the "guards" being cameras, and you also needed a ID card to enter. He would have job getting in, but he would do it; he would stop at nothing. "I will get in there Sirgin, I will find you- and I will kill you." said Dek, as he stared at the building in the dark of night. | 2011-10-18 01:34:00 Author: ATMLVE Posts: 1177 |
| "Next!" "Yeah, hi, I can't seem to be able to get this memory card into my Xbox." "You put it in upside down, Next!" Hearing the kind of problems people were having, Alexa was glad to still be on her break. Too many people walked in with problems that could be solved if they weren't scared of getting figerprints on their brand new console. She was also glad that her boss hadn't realized she wasn't on the job, he wasn't an angry person, but she'd rather not hear the lecture again. As such, she pretended to be paying attention to the news report which was playing in the cafe infront of her, but as it turns out, it was something that was important to her. "...So, do we know who made this broadcast yet?" "No, like most of it, there was static over the name." "Alright, well why don't we play the recording one more time, and see if any viewers can call in and see if they know who it is." The recording started with 5 seconds of static, and cut to another 10 of a long beep, before getting into a very muffled voice, but still understandable. "To any..... who gets th....ame is M......y Se...nty....t, I'm being held captive by... ackout in....Sahara. I don't...ve...uch time bef... ey figure out what i've done, so list...arefully.

EM, STOP .....ALL..." *Louder, more aggresive banging is heard, followed by a collapsing sound* Al.... Laur......ve you!" *Gunshots are heard, and the recording ends* "Well, there you have it, and once again that was the broadcast picked up by one of our camera crews in Cairo, Egypt. Once again, if you have any idea...." Alexa couldn't understand all of what was said in the recording, but there were 3 things that she picked up: Her father's voice, Cairo, and stop the Blackout. She could sense her boss right behind her, and simply said, "Sorry, not now." and walked to the elevator to see the only man she thought could help.

| Edin was sitting in dad's work office now. He was looking through all his things. There were books everywhere. Books about cars, how to properly finance a house, basketball, and so much more. Dad loved to know about everything. One time, Edin saw his dad ask the cable guy questions that made it seem like he knew more than the cable guy. But Dad was gone now, its been almost a year now. But Edin just can't let it go. He can't shake the image out of his head. Why did it have to be Dad? Why not him? None of it made sense. Edin got up and sat on the chair Dad would sit on when he had work to do. He shook the mouse and the screen came back to life. Welcome John! Locked Edin typed something onto the keyboard... The username or password is incorrect. Edin tried everything. Names, jobs, favorite foods. Everything. For days and still nothing. He was getting frustrated. He turned around and looked out the window where he used to play football with his family. He remembered all the family get-togethers and barbecues. And even though Edin rarely played with his brothers and friends he missed all of it now. But you know what they say... You don't appreciate what you have until it's gone... Edin turned away from the window. He couldn't bare it anymore. He started looking through the shelves for anything, anything that would help Edin know why it happened the way it did. He noticed how the books went in alphabetical order. He always liked that about Dad. Organized. A... B... C... F... G... J... Edin stopped. He noticed something he never saw before. Dad's journal. Eleven months. Eleven freaking months and he never bothered to check the shelves. Edin started to shake. He sat on the floor and looked at the journal. It looked so old to him now that Dad was gone, like an ancient scripture. He looked at it in more detail. It was old! It was covered in dust, Edin blew it off and turned to the first page. It smelled like a library book. The pages were crisp. Presented To: My beloved boyfriend John. From: The love of his life. On: ... The date was scribbled out. Edin smiled. He turned the page.

| The helicopter cut throught the sky, approaching the state of Florida. Rico started to guess where he should look first. He finally decided to land in Orlando. When the airport workers saw a military helicopter land nearby, they quickly gathered around in curiosity. Martinez decided to use this as his advantage. - Hey, that's a nice uhhh... Helicopter you got there... - Thank you. Hey, do any of you, by any means, know this girl? Rico showed them the PDA with Zim's photo on the screen. Apparently, nobody knew her, but then someone in the middle of the mob approached and looked closely into the picture. - She looks familiar... I might have seen someone alike in my town. - Really? Tell me about it. - I live in a smaller town called Ocala. I remember when I went camping into the forest, and I discovered what seemed like an abandoned village. There were lots of houses, some of them completely destroyed. - And? - And I swear to God, I saw this figure. It looked like a sackperson with a cap and a bengal on its hand. As soon as it saw me, it hid into the woods. I only had a quick glance, but I'm sure that it was the same person as the one you got a picture of there. - So, you think she's living in that village? - Yes. Rico opened the PDA's map application, and told the man to mark where he thought the village was. He placed a marker in the map, then reminded Rico that he wasn't sure of the location. Rico thanked the man and got back into the helicopter. Then he took off towards the marked location. | 2011-10-18 20:03:00 Author: gdn001 Posts: 5891 |
| Ivon walked casual-like through the store as best he could. he tried to stop himself but it was too much and he started whistling a strange made up tune. he started to have doubts, he wasnt sure if he could do this. he wouldnt be in this mess if that drunk outside hadnt dared him too. " bet you cant.. *HICK* get into the staff area of that technology store there.. *HICK*...dimwit" " oh yea? huh, watch and learn you smelly ,slightly scary drunk guy" he had reached the counter, the woman behind it looked at him with a smile, which faded when he continued whistling and walked straight past her and through the staff doors. the corridor was long and dully lit with white washed walls and a plane navy blue carpet. there was doors on the left and right and Ivon went through the first one on the right. he encountered another corridor, which he proceeded to whistle down. meanwhile the woman had alerted her colleagues and they had gone straight to the boss using the stairs in the left hand corner of the store. " James, there's a fat kid who just walked through to the restricted area" "huh? and you let him! has he gone to.. you know where" "sir?" " THE NEW PRODUCT, HAS HE GONE TO THE STORE ROOM!" " um.. um.... i should check right?" James nods slowly giving her a sarcastic and slightly restless look. Ivon stood outside a large black door with [PRIVATE] written on it. there was a combination lock and Ivon just looked at it blankly. then he hit it. then the door opened. inside there was a large crate tied down with massive thick rope. "big... DVD player? " Ivon said confused. he walked closer and cleared the dust off the black printed sign on the side of the crate that said: [ CAIRO ][ THIS WAY UP ^ ]. at that moment three staff members came running into the room followed by two of the local policemen, one of which Ivon recognised. the policeman looked at Ivon. " you just cant settle down can ye lad?" " um... its the drunks fault" " ere we go again, ur nonsense indnt gunna work ere luv, wacha doin then? eh, lookin for a bed eh? tryin to find a better bin?" the policeman laughed.

" bet you cant.. *HICK* get into the staff area of that technology store there.. *HICK*...dimwit" " oh yea? huh, watch and learn you smelly ,slightly scary drunk guy" he had reached the counter, the woman behind it looked at him with a smile, which faded when he continued whistling and walked straight past her and through the staff doors. the corridor was long and dully lit with white washed walls and a plane navy blue carpet. there was doors on the left and right and Ivon went through the first one on the right. he encountered another corridor, which he proceeded to whistle down. meanwhile the woman had alerted her colleagues and they had gone straight to the boss using the stairs in the left hand corner of the store. " James, there's a fat kid who just walked through to the restricted area" "huh? and you let him! has he gone to.. you know where" "sir?" " THE NEW PRODUCT, HAS HE GONE TO THE STORE ROOM!" " um.. um.... i should check right?" James nods slowly giving her a sarcastic and slightly restless look. Ivon stood outside a large black door with [PRIVATE] written on it. there was a combination lock and Ivon just looked at it blankly. then he hit it. then the door opened. inside there was a large crate tied down with massive thick rope. "big... DVD player? " Ivon said confused. he walked closer and cleared the dust off the black printed sign on the side of the crate that said: [ CAIRO ][ THIS WAY UP ^ ]. at that moment three staff members came running into the room followed by two of the local policemen, one of which Ivon recognised. the policeman looked at Ivon. " you just cant settle down can ye lad?" " um... its the drunks fault" " ere we go again, ur nonsense indnt gunna work ere luv, wacha doin then? eh, lookin for a bed eh? tryin to find a better bin?" the policeman laughed. " ja wanna come with me now mate". the two policemen held Ivon as they cuffed him. then the policeman lent into Ivon's ear and said " ur in the s**t now encha?". they walked Ivon out of the room. as they left the second corridor, Ivon noticed the 'drunk' kneeling behind a bin. then they pushed him out into the front of the shop and then put him into their police car.

| The helicopter soared above the great forest, scanning for any signs of the ghost town. When it reached the area marked in the map, it came to a stop, and kept hovering above the trees. Martinez spotted what seemed like an abandoned house on the horizon, then headed towards it. -------------- The helicopter landed in an opening located at what seemed like 800 meters from where he saw the house. Rico marked the landing zone in the map, then started to wade in the deep forest towards the location of the village. In less than half an hour, he spotted the first of many old buildings. He walked to a fountain in the middle of them, and took a look around. The buildings were either totaled or about to fall down. Plants had taken the whole place, as if they wanted to make it their new home. - ZIM??? ZIIIIM!!! Rico's voice just echoed throught the woods. He took another glance, and noticed a building that was still somewhat intact. He entered it carefully, his footsteps making a loud noise on the old wooden floor. Other than that, the place seemed quite clean for an abandoned home. He went upstairs, and was shocked to see piles of newspapers stored in one single room. He checked them out: "Sony Commander GDN retires after fourth war", "Ex-Sony Commander GDN went missing", "Last link with dissapeared Commander GDN is gone", among other related news. ---------------------- Rico was still checking the newspapers, when he noticed a shadow coming from behind him. He instantly turned around and pointed his two pistols at whoever was coming. It was her. - Zim??? She used his distraction to hit his hands with her cane, sending both pistols to the sides of the room. - So you think you can simply waltz into my home and get away with it??? - Zim, listen to me, I don't want to... She ignored him and tackled him with the cane, sending him to the floor. She was about to smash him, but Rico rolled to the side right in time. He managed to recover one of his pistols from the ground and point it to Zim right before she was about to finish him off, making her stop. - Listen, I don't want any trouble... - Then what are you doing here? - I came here looking for you... - Then you are after trouble! - What do you know about GDN? Zim's expression changed to a surprised tone, and she slowly lowered her cane. Rico put his pistol away in an attempt to gain her trust. - GDN... It's been 15 years since he dissapeared... - What do you remember about him? - He was a ***********... But a cool ***********... That is, until I found out the truth... - What truth? - Have you seen this place? This used to be a happy, lovely place... But then GDN and his "friends" came and burned it to the ground... He said that it wasn't his fault, but I never got over it... And I guess he didn't either... - Oh. - But, you didn't come here just to hear a story... You want something else... What is it? - I want to find where GDN is. - What??? Ha, you think you are going to be the one who will find him after all this time? Wake up! - Well, with the help of someone who was close to him... - I'm not helping you, Sony, Microsoft or whatever scum! Not after what happened... - Please, it's not about him, it's about the world... - What about it? - Ascension is back into the scene. And Blackout too. I guess you might know that, judging from the collection you got there... - And you think GDN is going to help? I don't know if you realized, but it's been a long time since he dissapeared, and judging from his state when he did, I can be sure he's no longer a problem to us. - Oh, come on... - No, I'm not changing my mind... You'll have to deal with it. Rico couldn't think of what to do. Zim seemed pretty sure about not helping him. He simply picked up his other pistol, walked out the room and towards the stairs, then looked at her one more time and said: - You know, I always thought you were someone who would do anything to help others. But now I see that you are just as egocentric as everybody else I run into... With no more words, he left, leaving Zim thinking alone. | 2011-10-18 23:11:00 Author: gdn001 Posts: 5891 |

| Heather: "We'd like to see a list of people who came in here." Camera Guy: "Okay, although not to get in your business, but how is that going to help, it's not like somebody just camein and took our data like that." Heather: "You'd be surprised how easy it is to do something like that, but that's not exactly what my purpose was for." Heather and Isaac look over the list for a while. Heather: "I'd like for one of your people to make a copy of this." Camera Guy: "You want us to just make a copy of the list of people who came in for you to take for the SSO?" Heather: "Actually, the opposite. We'll need the original, not just for name checking, but signatures too, and copies don't do it's just as much, but the copy was for you hang onto if you want." Isaac and Heather took the original sheet with them out to the car which the crate had been moved in from Rico's to Heather's at a place between Isaac's house and the Camera Station. ((Might sound a bit plot twisting, but I asked gdn, and he said it was fine if I had it to where we moved it in Heather's car, just 'cause he took off for a heli, can't let it leaving in his car there)) Isaac and Heather went out to Heather's car, and Isaac knew he had to put it somewhere safe. So many places popped up but for all of them, he could imagine some sort of terrorists or government, or both of those rolled into one getting their hands on his crate. He couldn't really even trust the SSO, even though he was working with them. Finally, though, he thought of it. He couldn't just let anyone drive him there, but it was the end of the week, well, weekdays, for them. Isaac asked for a favor for Heather, to drive him somewhere, the safest place he could think of, although it would take awhile. He would have to bury it, but where. So many forests torn down, military camps, traps, and although this Valley had it's traps, and was all where his dad died, and he could've too, he had to take this risk. Until he got more answers, and at least while Rico was gone, he would have it buried in Canniba Valley. He had to be able to go back to it, but not with a marking, no special tree, he thought hard until he thought up the perfect place to put it.

| After winding their way through the caverns, Rhym noticed a change in the area around him. The rock seemed more like it was carved out now and ahead he could see a light. Once they got to the light, Rhym was blinded for a second after being in the darkness for so long. Once his eyes adjusted, he realized that the entire inside of the mountain had been carved out and replaced with a high-tech facility. "Don't worry kid, you'll be seeing this place a lot," said Muscle Girl. Rhym decided on calling her Muscle Girl because nobody gave their names. "This is our Command Room. We base all our operations out of here." All of a sudden an alarm blared. "What's going on?" asked Rhym. "Well, apparently another person has decided to trespass on our property. Come on guys, let's take Newbie here out on his first mission." "My name's not Newbie. It's Rhym." Rhym felt that he needed to show some authority or he was going to get walked on like dirt. "Whatever. Let's go." ------ They got to the place where the alarm was set off and found the ground disturbed. Rhym didn't care though. He was just biding his time until he could escape. "That's weird. The GPS should be tracking their movements... They couldn't have just disappeared." Muscle Girl looked surprised. "How about we split up? We could cover more ground." Rhym knew this was suspicious but he gave it a try. "What? Do you think I'm going to run off to the people who captured me? Think again" "Alright. But just remember, we can track you." So the four searchers went their separate ways. Rhym went down the mountain to where he had crashed. He knew in the back of his mind that that noise he heard while blacking out had something to do with this. After a mile or two of walking, Rhym started seeing smoke in the air. Not a forest fire. But more of a controlled camp fire. Rhym slowed down so he could sneak up on the camp. He didn't want to be surprised by a bunch of people now, did he? He got up to the bank that looked over the camp and looked down on it. He saw two guys and a girl. He also noticed the bike leaning against a tree. Rhym smiled knowing he just found his escape.

| As Rico was about to enter the deep forest and go back to where he had landed the helicopter, he noticed an aircraft fly above the village. It wasn't Sony, Microsoft or anything. The aircraft turned around and hovered above the fountain. Then the door opened and an entire squadron rappeled down, into the village. Martinez hid behind a wall, and could see the squadron breaking into the building Zim was left in. He could tell that wasn't going to end well. ---------------- Two of the five soldiers entered the building, between Rico and Zim. He needed a distraction. Rico attached his grappler onto the support of the building's balcony and pulled it, making the whole thing come down on the head of one of the soldiers. The other two noticed Rico, but he quickly armed his two pistols and fired one shot into each soldier. - Not bad... Now to take care of the two inside... Rico was about to go inside, when he noticed from the window in the second story that the two soldiers had already captured Zim. He walked back outside, aimed the hook at the top of the window, and pulled himself with speed into the room, kicking one soldier on the head. The other was about to fire, but Zim recovered her cane and hit him on the back of his neck. - You alright? - You set me up, didn't you? - Why do you think I set you up if I just saved you? The two got back outside, and more aircraft had arrived. They ran into the woods, avoiding the gunfire coming from above. - Where are we going? - I landed my chopper somewhere around here! They found the helicopter at last, but the enemy aircraft also found them. Rico rushed inside and yelled at Zim to get in. He took off right before the gunship blew the opening up, then proceeded to fight back. Using the helicopter's missiles, he blew up one of the attackers, making the others retreat. Relieved, he turned around towards S?o Paulo and went on. - Who were these people? - You think I know? Well, they didn't have any emblems or identification, but I suppose they are from Blackout or Ascension. - Why would they want to kill me? - For the same reason I went after you... They want to cut all the loose ends regarding them... And if GDN's still alive... - Then he's their priority. - Exactly. We need to find him before they do. And you're going to help us. | 2011-10-19 19:26:00 Author: gdn001 Posts: 5891 |
| "Captain," Smith explained, "Scans indicate that enemy forces have already taken the highest level and the roof." The trio rushed up the flights of stairs, stopping outside the door to the top floor. "These guys really don't mess around do they general?" muttered Johnny, "How many enemies on the top floor Alex?" Corporal Smith looked at his Nintendo Power Glove, "Scans show 2 Spartans, 5 COGs, 5 ODSTs and 4 Helghast ,sir." Johnny sighed. "How far away are reinforcements?" he asked. "They've been pushed back to the third floor by invading troops from the ground floor, so I wouldn't expect any help here," Smith explained. "Guess we're gonna have to do this the hard way," said General Price gruffly, "On my mark, we open this door and blast them all to heck!" The trio prepared themselves. Price started the countdown. "Three. Two. One. CHARGE!!!" They bolted through the door, catching the enemy off guard. They killed a few COGs and dived for cover. The blackout forces also found cover. The two sides continued firing, with COGs, Helghast and ODSTs all falling one by one to Johnny, Price and Smith's superior combat training. The two Spartan soldiers however, did not. These were Elite Blackout Spartans (http://www.bungie.net/Stats/Halo3/PlayerModel.ashx?p1=0&p2=5&p3=7&p4=3&p5=5&p6=0&p7=12&p8=3), the best of the best. The Spartans hammered down on the trio's position with assault rifles, before one pulled out a spartan laser. "Take him out!" Johnny screamed, and all three simultaneously fired at him. The Spartan fell down, but not before firing his laser directly at Price's position. "Price!" Johnny yelled. He ducked and dived past the remaining Spartan's bullets to Price's position. He was bleeding. Badly. The Spartan pulled out an enegy sword. Smith fired at the Spartan, but it's sword blocked the shots with ease. Seeing no other option, Smith drew his katana. It crackled with energy, and he charged at the Spartan, locking swords. "How bad is it?" Price asked. "Doesn't look to good, but you've been through worse." Johnny replied sadly. "Maybe my time is up eh, Williams" Price said weakly. "Don't say that general, we can get you to a medic, you just have to hold on." Johnny encouraged. "No, it's too late for me, it's been an honour fighting with you Williams". Price mutterd, then closed his eyes forever. Smith and the Spartan continued their duel to the death. The Spartan had strength but he had agility on his side. Sparks flew as the two swords clashed, battling for superiority. Smith lost his footing, and the Spartan used this to his advantage, shoving him to the ground. The Spartan raised his sword, readying himself for the kill. | 2011-10-19 19:38:00 Author: sheepysean13 Posts: 27 |

| Ziggy gradually opened her eyes, her sight blurred and fuzzy; but she could vaguely make out the shifting outlines of two people standing around her. They were leaning towards her; unable to withstand their curiosity. "Jak, she's not dead!" Her ears began to ring; with a rough grunt she rolled over and curled her body into a ball. "Tell her from me that she's a jerk!" Jak's voice made the pain worse. Ugh. "Ziggy; you're a jerk." At this point she had felt well enough to stand up and grab the short, slightly chubby, light brunette haired boy by the collar and lift him a foot in the air with her good hand. He began to struggle but to no avail; Ziggy was alot stronger than Dynamo. "Don't shoot the messenger. Just, let, let me go, okay?" He was panicking like a little girl, not a fully trained soldier. "Whatever you say. Just next time I suggest you think for yourself." She never called him Jak except when no-one else was around. Any other time, it was protocol for codenames to be used and therefore, he was Wolf. "Now leave me alone. I need to rest for a few minutes." And with those words she threw him down onto the grass beneath their feet. Ziggy barely walked a few metres before Dynamo had attacked her from behind, clinging onto her neck and attempting to strangle her. She struggled for ten seconds, her face turning pale and her pupils bulging out almost comically. But there was nothing comical about this situation. She threw a right hook at his left cheek, making him release her throat, but Dynamo was ready this time; dodging the attack and countering by grabbing her broken arm and throwing her to the floor in what should have been a weak, basic judo hold. But her arm was already severely broken and as much as tapping it lightly made her wince; this was a hundred times worse. She was about to rush him headfirst when Jak came running out of his tent and threw an irridescent glowing ball into the air, which enclosed Dynamo inside a 2 metre wide sphere, his fists thrashing at the insides of the giant, transparent bubble like he was an animal. And in those eyes Ziggy couldn't see even an ounce of humanity left. "Tell him from me that he's a jerk." That was Jak. "No. That's what started this whole mess in the first place. You're the jerk Wolf, why didn't you split us up yourself instead of using that weird egg... what is that thing anyway?" "It's a prototype, based off the glowing sphere on top of the PS Move controller. Pretty cool, huh? And more importantly-" Jak turned to Dynamo emenating frosty hostility. "It was our only one. It was meant to be used as a defense for any incoming attacks from other factions. We're supposed to be a unit, one of the most trusted fireteams that has ever been formed in Sony's history. Everyone has their job, everyone does it well. Except for you; you have to mess it up don't you Dynamo? Or "Teh 1337 Haxxor" or whatever you like to call yourself now. She told you to leave her alone, and you have to go for the jugular. Do you really think that when you've got a bullet lodged in your chest she'll actually help you now? I doubt it. You're lucky I don't court marshall you for that little act you pulled back then. And Ziggy..." He turned back to her and locked eyes, unlike Dynamo she didn't look away but met the stare; her eyes now blank and emotionless. "You're getting reckless. Get a grip on yourself before you end up five feet under... Gecko, what's up?" The mute albino boy previously camouflaged in the shadows was wearing a black balaclava, but his baby pink eyes were clear to see. His gaze was alert and wide awake, unlike the relaxed, calming expression he usually projected outwards. "There's someone behind you." His voice was controlled and quiet. "Co-ordinates?" Jak used this opportunity to press the button on the remote control he was holding and release Dynamo; who muttered a brief apology towards Ziggy and took the Uzi out of his belt, his index finger gently massaging the trigger. "6 metres away, 5 o'clock, aiming for the bike." No-one doubted him. If Gecko had picked up on something you hadn't, you listened. Because if you didn't listen to him, there was nothing anyone could do for you. Because you were already dead. "I'll try to-" Jak tried to create a plan of action but Gecko interrupted him. "Trust me." And with those words he evaporated like smoke into the surrounding foliage. ((Hope that was good enough for you Rhym. )) | 2011-10-19 23:21:00 Author: abyssalassassin Posts: 717 |
| ((Yes. That was perfect, Ziggy... xD Now let's hope I understood this right, Gecko is about to attack me right? Oh well. That's how I'm writing it. Also, You said he was a 'Mute albino boy' but he talked... o.o Did you forget to say he had a computer or something? Or did you mean a different word? Oh well!)) It took Rhym about 3 seconds to figure out what was going on. He could see 3 people who looked like they had just finished fighting, but he heard the faint voice of a fourth. He couldn't make out what they were saying though. Once he figured out what was going on, it was too late. Somebody jumped on in from behind and started going for his throat. Instinctively, Rhym jumped up and landed on his back. He heard the faint 'Umph' that came from his attacker. Within seconds, the other 3 were on him. He saw one aiming a gun at him and Rhym knew it was give up or die. "Alright! Alright... I'm done... Just... Don't shoot me..." "Dynamo! Put the gun down. We don't even know who he is and you're already wanting to shoot him? What's wrong with you!?" shouted the girl. Rhym didn't know who she was, but she was already his favorite. He didn't like the guy who gave him a kick in the stomach and he definitely didn't like this Dynamo person. "Sorry... Gecko just said somebody was here... Better safe than sorry, right?" Rhym could now see why he hadn't seen the fourth person. Even now, he was blending into the forest background. The girl came up and Rhym knew he was about to experience the second interrogation in a week. "Who are you? Who are you affiliated with? Why were you watching us? And why were you going for my bike?" Since Rhym had just gotten the cr*p beaten out of him, it took him a second to remember the answers to those questions. "Well... I'm Rhym. I'm not affiliated with anybody. I was on watch for Blackout. And your bike was my escape from them. Good answers?" "Wait... You're unaffiliated, you were on watch for Blackout, and the bike was your escape from them... That doesn't add up. Start from the beginning." "Which beginning? When Blackout found me? Or when I ran from home?" Rhym didn't want to start from the very beginning. He didn't want to let these strangers know all about him. "Just give us the first one. We don't need to know your life story." This came from the guy that kicked him. "Okay then. Well, I had just crashed the helicopter I stole from Sony when Blackout fou-" "You. Did. What?" The girl seemed on the verge of telling Dynamo to shoot me. "Cool it Ziggy. Let him finish," said Mr. Kick-Them-While-They're-Down. "As I was saying, I crashed and Blackout found me. This happened yesterday I think... Around noon. I blacked out when they started carrying me to their base though. I woke up..." Rhym didn't know how long he had been out. But it had to have been at least 20 hours. It seemed to him like it was almost the same time that he crashed. "I don't know... Maybe an hour ago? These 3 people came in and asked me a few questions then declared me a member of Blackout. They started showing me around when an alarm went off. I'm guessing that was you guys? The 4 of us were sent out to go find the people. All of a sudden, the alarm stopped and we couldn't track you anymore. So we decided to split up to cover more ground. I saw smoke in the air from that campfire and headed toward it. And I wasn't watching you guys. I had been looking over that ridge for about 20 seconds when that kid attacked me. I wasn't even going to attack you. I wanted the bike so I could get out of here and move on with my life." Rhym was desperate for them to let him go. He just wanted out. But he kept a straight face and didn't let them know of the fear he held inside. ((Agh... Long paragraph is long... D  )"Okay. Now you can explain how and why you stole a Sony helicopter," said Ziggy. "Well the how part is easy. I ran up to it and jumped on. Nobody tried to stop me. I hit all the gunmen with a fire extinguisher and forced the pilot to teach me how to fly. Then through him out, too and took off. It was actually pretty simple to fly. Push a button to go up. Another one to go down. And there was a control stick that was for direction. It was kind of like a video game," Rhym paused to see how close he was to getting hit so far. He seemed to be doing pretty well, seeing how the girl had no change in reaction. "The why part... You might not like that... Judging by your reaction, I'm guessing your with Sony?" "Yea... We are. So you might want to give us a good reason so we don't hurt you before taking you in," said Dynamo. "Good luck. I'm never going back there. That's the reason I stole the chopper in the first place. You see, this guy named Rico had some other Sony operatives and him jump out of this building and take me down on the road. All on the suspicion that I was with a Microsoft Revival group. Which I'm not. I was stuck in there for what seemed like forever. I broke out and had to hide. Just my luck that my hiding place happened to be a Sony military base hidden in a mountain." "That seems like a semi-good reason. Guess we won't have to hurt you right now," said Dynamo. "We are, however, taking yo-" BOOM! The world seemed to explode as all hell broke loose. ((I think that was a good place to stop since it was such a long post... xD I think this is also a good place for Ziggy to take over with her descriptiveness. Good luck with describing 'The world seemed to explode as all hell broke loose' > )) | 2011-10-20 02:41:00 Author: Speedynutty68 Posts: 1614 |
| ((Sorry for the delay. I've been busy IRL and with other things.)) Paparazzi and media types flooded the front plaza of the Main HQ, cameras flashing and mics flying about with people of all shapes and sizes shouting and shoving in their pursuit of the truth- or whatever rumors they could get away with. Soldiers and personal guards flanked the sides of Live St. while also attempting to keep the raging masses at bay. Aircraft and ground vehicles swarmed the streets and airways, keeping an organized chaos among the apocalypse that was soon to unfold. Terrorists have just attempted to seize the President's life, as well as his Vice and Major General. The Warthog, flanked by the remaining Mongoose and Chopper patrol, rolled down the street, albeit slow due to the density of people attempting to intercept the escapade. "Whatever happened to that restraining order you filed?" the Chief whispered into Jack's ear, wary of the lingering mics and booms. "It was lifted last week," Jack sneered in reply, "The court ruled it as 'unnecessary'..." "Ironic, ain't it?" Marcus joked, bringing the Warthog to a slow roll... among a welcoming party of scolding media types. The brief interview went like this: "Mr. President!! Tell us what exactly happened at Tratado!" "I'm sorry, madam, but Jack is unwilling to disclose such information at this time-" "Marcus Fenix! Eyewitnesses report that Microsoftian soldier fired at your squad! Is that true?!" "Eyewitnesses? Geez, wouldn't they be dead?!" "Master Chief! Is it true that you were stepped down from guarding the President during the meeting?!" "Since when were you allowed to intrude on E-classified business procedures?!" "Jack!! Is this a call for war?!" That single question froze Jack briefly, stopping the Chief and Marcus as well. The crowds fell silent, unsure of what exactly they might have unleashed for uttering such words. Slowly, Jack turned around, his cold irises a startling black. "... it is not war," Jack growled, breaking the silence, "But it is a call to action." With those words said, the trio quickly walks away into the abyss of the Main HQ. "*******, those press types are havin' a field day, huh?" Marcus recalled, trying to put an optimistic spin on things. "Get me in contact with GDN immediately," Jack ordered, completely ignoring Marcus' remark, "We need to talk." "GDN has left Sony," the Chief corrected, "He fled the company a while ago-" "Then get in contact with whoever else is heading the company NOW," Jack snapped back, "We can't delay this matter any longer." "These Ascension nutjobs are a guerrilla group. They can't possibly mobilize-" "Send out service notices and start forming a draft. We need the best we can get." "This isn't war, Jack! Please, calm down-" "But it will evolve into it! I can't wait for something else to happen." "For Christ's sake! You're endangering your own self being! Please, let me & Marcus handle this-" "NO!!" Jack roared, facing Marcus and the Chief. His fierce tone even startled himself. "No..." Jack restated, calming down, "This is no simple matter. These are not simple soldiers. They are remnants of Joe's regime." "He's been dead for several years now," the Chief reasoned, "and only now have they decided to show up." "27 years is a good amount of time to build up an army," Jack replied, "And since we're restricted to how many troops we could have, they could have amassed a decent-sized militia by now." "But it's still militia," Marcus growled, "Rebels. Renegades. They don't have our technology." "... We were the same," Jack finally spoke, sounding resentful, "27 years ago..." And with that said, Jack teleports out of sight, presumably up to his office behind locked doors.

| Michael was lead to a plane. As soon as he entered, he was overwhelmed with the smell of cigars, wine, and sweat. Whoever these guys were, they seemed to be quite fancy. He was shoved into a seat, possibly by a window. He had always tried to get the window seat when he was younger, but failed. Ironic how he finally got it when he was blind. He was left alone for a decent amount of time. He could hear people talking and laughing, no care in the world, seemingly oblivious to the fact of all the people they had just murdered. He suddenly heard a door open, and someone walk in. "Ah, S?o Paulo is lovely from up here," he heard a man say. Michael recognized this voice. It was him. Bad Man. The one who had did all this to him. The man who took his life and smashed it into thousands of pieces. He was back, and Michael was sure he was going to finish what he started and with whoever his captors were as his associates. "You must be confused Michael, after all Sega did shut down the Genesis Project. Well, you know me. Can't let my own creation just die like that. But we're not here to talk about me, we're here to talk about you. More specifically, finishing you.", Bad Man said. If Michael could see, he guessed he'd see an evil smirk. "No," Michael said in his usual emotionless voice. "Stop acting like you have a choice. It didn't work last time", Bad Man snapped, his voice going from smart-alec to annoyed in a mere second. The headache Michael had been ****ed with surged, and Michael bent over in pain. "Are you alright?", Bad Man said, obviously not caring. "Michael...", Michael heard in seemingly the back of his head, but just barely. It seemed like the voice of a female. He sat back up straight, as if that had never happened. "Yes." "Well then, I best be getting back. I'm sure you have many questions, but you have no right to hear them answered. We'll be talking soon", Bad Man said, before exiting. "MICHAEL!", the voice yelled moments later, causing the headache to become the definition of pain itself for a brief moment. "Michael, can you hear me?" "Y-yes", Michael moaned. "You must be in great pain. I apologize, but this is all I can do for now. Also, I'm sorry but the pain you feel now will be cupcakes and icing compared to what you're about to feel.", the voice warned. Suddenly, Michael felt like every bone in his body had been ripped violently out of his skin, then put back in all the wrong places. The plane jerked violently, and he heard screaming. Someone furiously slammed open the door, and grabbed Michael. "WHAT DID YOU DO?!", Bad Man yelled, his saliva launching onto Michael's face. Michael said nothing. "I've gotten this far, I'm not letting it end here!", Bad Man said. Michael was dragged out of the room, heard a door open, had something put on his back, and then....he was falling.

| Nathan looked over at Sarah, who seemed worried sick. There was an 'incident' at the nearby outpost, and they were ordered to wait for a survivor. It had been an hour and it seemed no-one was coming. Suddenly Sarah shrieked, and Nathan felt a gun on his head. "Do as I say. Head to Santa Carlo Airport when I give the word. Don't ask questions, mind your own business, and you'll be fine", a woman said in a German accent so thick that Nathan could barely understand her. "Y-yes mam", Nathan whimpered. About ten minutes passed when more people came onto the plane. He heard them light cigars and chat in some language he didn't understand. He had heard rumours of some Blackout group but he never expected to meet them himself. He then realized how stupid he was. Why would Blackout come after Nintendo? These were probably just your standard goons. Goons who spoke seemingly out of this world words. ((You did mention that Ascension spoke in a different language the last Console Wars, right GDN?)) An hour or so later, he heard more people clamber aboard, and a door slam shut. The woman came back into the cockpit, though this time Nathan could see her. She seemed beat up, with scars nearly covering every inch of her body, and her left eye was covered by an eyepatch, which was partially covered itself by her wild black hair. "Alright then. Let's go.", she said in a strangely calm voice. It was a relatively normal flight, besides the talking. Few of the higher ranked members of Nintendo actually spoke much. Suddenly, he felt a sudden pain in his head and he fell over. He heard a small explosion, and then the alarms went off. Sarah was knocked unconscious, and Nathan himself wasn't all there. He climbed back onto his feet and looked outside the front window. They were falling towards S?o Paulo and at an alarming rate. There was another jerk and Nathan fell back down. This time he didn't have the strength to get back up. He tried to crawl out of the cockpit, to a parachute. He couldn't die here. His son needed someone to teach him how to throw a baseball, Hhs mother needed her medicine, and his wife needed someone to remind her life was worth a ****. The door out of the cockpit wouldn't open. Fantastic, apparently the engineers back at the outpost failed their job horribly. Nathan took his last breath before hearing an explosion, then everything went black. | 2011-10-20 18:28:00 Author: Testudini Posts: 3262 |

Thanks for clarifying. Anyway, here's mah post.)) Heather stopped the car on a trail in the forest, and the two got out. Isaac got the backpack out of the car and held it on his back. Heather: "Isaac, are you sure you want to do this? There's no connection here, noone will be able to call you." Isaac: "Yes, I know the paths to take, through here and out of here. I should be good." Heather: "Just please, be careful." Isaac: "Don't worry, I know my way around here, and I'll be careful around here." Heather: "I'm not talking about here. I'm talking about back there. Things are changing, and fast. You can hardly trust anyone these days, and all these things, it could be some sort of trap, and now that you're caught up in it, I just don't want you getting hurt." Isaac: "Well, the same goes with you." Heather: "Yeah.... *sniff* I- I guess so. Eh, well umm, see you later I guess." Heather drove off in her car, but Isaac knew something was wrong with her, as if she was in a train that was going to blow up, and there was honestly nothing that she could do about it. Isaac zipped up his coat as it was pretty chilly out, and he started walking, following a trail he had mapped out, even though it wasn't all connected to dirt roads. Isaac held onto the duffel bag, storing the Rectangular Ascension Crate with who-knows-what inside, and continued walking to where he would bury it for the time being, in the ground, beneath the floorboard of a hideout he had good reason to be familiar with. Walking and walking, it was getting chilly. Isaac put on a skii mask to keep his ears and part of his face warm, and got some food out of his bag when he was about two-fifths across. He had looked around what he had packed: A pocketknife,( that also came with a fork and spoon) a lighter, a pistol, some arrows, a first aid kit, and some other supplies, including some food, but he had some hunting skills so if that wasn't enough, he had a backup plan. Time passed by, and he was close to reaching the destination, something was off though. He repetitively checked the map, and around this area, the hideout should be. *Why isn't it here?* Could it have been torn down, possibly even moved. He checked round some, just trees and earth. He walked around some, but as he took his next step, he saw leaves all over, knowing that it was one of many traps built. Before he could change his mind, his foot stepped right down into the leaves, and the all fell, revealing a pit below. As he tripped down, one foot behind the leaf pit, he flailed his arms, one grabbing onto the earth to grasp onto, but then that chunk fell off, he pressed his legs against the Earth and part of his back and neck against the other side.

| Alexa quickly ascended the elevator to the top of the immense sky scraper, towering over New Natal. She had questions that needed answers, and answers that needed believers. She's made a revelation, and was going to take action; She needed her squad back, and the only person that came to her mind to help was Jack, overseer of the city so to speak, the closest thing it had to a leader. The elevator came to an abrupt stop with a small 'ding!' and the doors sliding open to a small corridor with a reception on one side and double doors on the other, with nothing else on the floor. She went up to the girl at the reception and got straight to the point. "I need to speak with Jack." "Sorry, he's busy right now." "I don't think you heard me. I need to speak with Jack, I have important information about Blackout." Reluctantly, she pressed a button on her phone and let Jack know, and through a muffled voice, Alexa could hear him letting her in."Make it quick he says." She nodded back, and walked through the door to see the Microsoft president sitting back and puffing on a cigar. "Alexa Ridge. What can I do for you?" Jack spoke calmly, as if he'd known Alexa was coming. "How do you know who I am?" "Isn't that the reason you've come to see me?" He took one last puff of his cigar before smearing it into his ashtray and adjusting his position. "That's part of why i'm here. I trust you know who Blackout are, trying to screw up your corporate empire for the past few years." "And now you have come to tell me how i should go about killing them off. Hate to break it to ya, but i've been at this for a very long time." "No, i've come to ask for assistance in taking them down myself." Jack fell silent for a second, as if believing she wasn't being serious, but intriguied at the proposition at the same time. "So, if i did assist you, what would be involved in taking down Blackout?" "Well, me and my squad would work from the ground up, interrogating low level operatives, sabotage, etc. Once we get their attention, they'll start going after us, lightening the load of guards, and allowing us the time to find my father and figure out just what the hell Blackout is after. I'd go into better detail but..." She switched her voice to that of sarcasm. "You seem like a very busy guy." "Your father being...?" "Mercuy." The white suited president leaned back in his chair and contemplated this plan for about a minute, before leaning forward again and providing an answer. "So what do you need from me then?" "My squad." "Name them." "Pete Charletton- best sniper in the city, Zak Herring- engineer, Eve and Erin Serena- the twins, and Jason Deverall- team medic." "Done. Don't be a waste of my time Alexa." She simply nodded, then turned back towards the door. This time around, she was going to make a difference.

| "The time is 1:00 AM as I write this. I couldn't sleep tonight so I thought I'd write in this journal my girlfriend bought for me. Bless her soul. She loves me way too much. Anyways, I'm not... Quite sure what I'm suppose to write in here? So I guess I'll write about today." Edin got up. He didn't feel right reading his Dad's journal in this room. He decided it would be best to take a nice relaxing boat ride where he can read the journal in peace. So he got the keys to his Ford F-150 Pickup Truck, hooked his boat to the back, and got in and started the car. He opened the garage and drove south towards Sao Paulo. Edin arrived at Ilhota Beach in twenty-five minutes. Looking through the side view mirror, he reversed the car until the boat was far enough in the water where he could easily launch it without any problems. He put the car in park, pulled the emergency break and got out. He unsnapped the boat from the truck and got in. He moved the boat to the dock and tied it down. He went back to the truck and parked it in the lot. He went back to the boat, untied it from the dock and took off. Edin drove the boat a little ways north-east of the beach and stopped. Peace and quite. Finally. Edin sat down and took out the journal. He turned the page and began reading again. "The family and I took a nice trip to the park and had a picnic. It was a perfect, sunny day and everyone was having fun. Everyone except Edin. Edin always seemed to be in a world of his own. I loved the kid, I really did. But sometimes I felt like I didn't know him at all. Like he wasn't my son..." Edin stopped because he heard a plane. Planes weren't a big deal in this area of Sao Paulo but something was different. This plane was much louder. He looked in the sky and could not believe what he was seeing. A plane. On fire. Heading towards downtown Sao Paulo. He didn't know what to do, it was horrifying. He could hear screams, not of one person but of many. Edin could not tear his eyes away from the inevitable crash that was about to occur. It wasn't something anyone would want to see in their lifetime but Edin couldn't stop looking. But then he saw something come out of the plane. Wait! It wasn't something, it was someone! Edin could see that the person was equipped with a parachute but it seemed that the strap was ripped. Thisday was going horribly wrong and quick. This man was about to die! Or maybe not. Edin started up the boat and began heading towards the man. He got to the man and noticed he wasn't moving but was keeping himself afloat. Edin threw the lifebuoy towards the man and told him to grab on. But the man wasn't able to grab on. He was blind! Edin quickly dived out of the boat and swam towards the man, he put his arms around him and brought him to the boat. The journal will have to wait, Edin thought. Edin needed to take this man back to his house... | 2011-10-21 01:08:00 Author: Whalio Cappuccino Posts: 5250 |

| It took a moment for Michael to realize whatever he had on his back was burnt, and another moment to realize that it was a parachute. Michael had no idea how to use a parachute. Slightly panicking, he pulled a strap and the parachute ejected. Apparently one of the straps of the parachute was weak (possibly from being on fire) and the force of the parachute releasing ripped it, causing it to fly off and leaving Michael helpless. Well, he had lived a good life, in a way. He could die somewhat happy. He hit what he was guessed (and hoped) was water. Michael was capable of swimming but being blind and disoriented, that was out of the question. He tried his best to float, but couldn't tell if he was succeeding. "Grab on!" He heard a splash, and Michael frantically tried to grab onto whatever was thrown to him. Sadly, being blind, this was out of his capabilities. He heard another splash and before he knew it, he was being dragged, the sound of a motor growing ever louder. When he came too, he was in a very soft and even more comfortable bed. The headache had once again died down and his body's peculiar healing abilities were at work. "How are you feeling?", he heard a young man said. Michael sat up with a bit of a struggle. Whoever this man was, he smelled like he had an amazing shower. "Yes", Michael responded, misunderstanding what the man said. "That wasn't a yes or no question, and that's usually a sign that something's wrong with your head", the man sighed. "I should probably call the hospital or something." "No", Michael ordered in his classic bleak tone. Michael wasn't very fond of hospitals. They spent more time talking about his 'uniqueness' than actually doing anything. "But you just said-", "No" Michael heard the man sigh again. "Well then, mind telling me what happened in that plane?" Michael had forgotten all about that, and the memories suddenly came rushing back. Truth be told, he himself had no idea what happened. "No" "Can you say anything besides yes and no?", the man asked. "No" The man sighed once again, obviously annoyed. "It crashed somewhere in downtown S?o Paulo. Caused a huge ruckus. Sony is wondering what a Nintendo plane is doing in Sony territory, so you better get your facts straight", the man explained. Michael continued 'staring' at him. Something was strange about this guy. "Michael," Michael told the man. "Huh?" "My name is Michael" "Oh", the man responded. "Well, I'm Edin. Nice to meet ya". Michael realized he wasn't in his uniform, and instead was in robes. That had to be awkward for Edin. Michael honestly didn't care. "Well um, get your rest", Edin said, obviously having no clue what he was doing. "I have um... matters to attend to." Edin exited the room leaving Michael to his thoughts. "Are you okay?" Michael awoke to the woman's voice alongside the now standard painful headache. "I can't really hear you now, but we'll just have to work with it. This Edin kid, stay with him. He will be needed in the days to come", the woman explained. "As for who I am, well, just call me Genesis. It's really the only name I've ever known." Personally, Michael didn't care about her name and if saying it caused this headache to last longer he really didn't care. "You must avoid Jackson. No-one except Edin is to be trusted, not even yourself and not even I. This is most likely confusing, but do not worry. It will all make sense one day, if things go according to plan anyways." And with that, the voice and the headache were gone. Michael wasn't a man to sigh, but if he was he would've done it right then. Who was Jackson? Why did he have to stay with Edin? He had had a semi-normal life, repairing Nintendo equipment. Then one day it all went to hell. At this point he should've been use to it, but he had had a new life, a new beginning. But it was all gone now, because of one man and one group of people. He had heard about a group called Blackout. Perhaps they were the ones after him? If that was the case, he was in grave danger. He needed someone to help him, but the voice said only to trust Edin. But why? He seemed like just an average guy, innocent as everyone else. Maybe there was more to him than meets the eye - err, maybe there was more to him than Michael knew. He sighed. What to do from here? | 2011-10-21 02:37:00 Author: Testudini Posts: 3262 |
| 3 hours after letter SAO Paulo, Downtown Army Jeep ----------------------------------------- Alex - "Right Driver we are looking for a Small bunker, next to a abandoned trench" Driver - "I've seen that bunker before ,right near the beach" Alex - "Good" - Alex smiles in a smug sort of way, he then turn to his squad Alex - "This should be a cakewalk men" Private 1 - "What is our objective anyways sir" Alex - "Thats none of your buisness! all you lot need to know is that we are tracking a target down and you are only to shoot on my command because we need this target alive within A week...okay" - The men all nod Driver - "Sir there seems to be something in the sky hurdling towards the ground" Alex - "Let me see" - Alex Looks up but he can barely make out the shape in the sky, he blinks and then he can clearly see it, it's a plane and it's coming at them Alex - "TURN AROUND NOW!" - The Driver tries but before he can the plane has hit the road in front of them and a piece of the wing crashes straight into the hood of the Jeep and over the top. Soon after what seems like thousands of parts are crashing into the car before the Plane's engine slams straight through the window of the Jeep, killing the driver in an instance and sending the car into a series of barrel rolls, all after is a hazed blur and ball of fire.

| The helicopter soars above the land, heading back to S?o Paulo. Zim is still thinking about what had happened back at the village. - I don't understand... I don't know anything about them. I'm not even interested in finding out! Well, that was, before they attacked us. - They must have thought that you could help anyone to find GDN. But still, everyone I talked to said that he was dead... Why do they think differently? - Maybe they know where he is? Or have captured him? - Still making no sense... If they had control over him, they wouldn't need to intervent... The city of S?o Paulo appears on the horizon, an huge collumn of smoke coming from near the each. - What the... What happened??? - It seems like something crashed into the downtown... - Ascension and Blackout... They surely have something to do with this! - I second that. They did something similar 27 years ago, they wouldn't hesitate to do it again! - I need to go there, see what happened! - Wait, weren't we going to the Headquarters first? Ignoring Zim, Rico steered the helicopter towards the crash site. | 2011-10-21 16:36:00 Author: gdn001 Posts: 5891 |

| ((Agh... I want to write more but I'm waiting for Ziggy to do the next part... D: Oh well... I guess I won't get a post up today...)) ((I'll start the paragraph now. And btw Gecko isn't able to physically talk... all will be revealed shortly. But for the moment, here's some back-story info on the squad. ))Jak was born to an extremely poor family, if you could even call it that; it was just him, his mother and his pitbull Rex at home. He was raised in Salford, Manchester, doing terribly at school and spending each lunchtime getting torn to pieces by a wide selection of bullies. No-one cared; he was just a nobody, a nothing. One night he woke up to find that his mother had gone out and left him to go out partying with her friends; not that this was out of the ordinary for him. After a week of being gone she had returned, drunk, with a man she had only met a few hours before and they started to make love... right in front of her son's eyes. The guy instantly took an intense dislike to him, knocking seven bells out of him every single day and eventually pursuading her mother that she would be better off without him. Jak knew that his mum would never desert him for some lowlife she had had only been in a relationship with for two weeks... Jak thought wrong. Soon dog and owner were thrown into the back of the battered, stinking of urine, lime green hatchback his mother's boyfriend had stolen from the dealer half a decade ago; driven all the way to Hackney in London and dumped there for good. He was only twelve at the time. From then on Jak lived on the streets, stealing whatever he could find and eventually a year or two later getting in contact with a high profile gang in the area. They liked how the young kid had approached a group of drug dealers and murderers with no hesitation in his eyes and no fear in his heart. From then on he worked his way up, gaining respect from the majority of the gang... the rest ending up lying in the gutter in a pool of their own blood. Jak had participated in the London riots on a whim and was caught nicking a 42 inch Sony plasma television from Curry's at 1 o'clock in the morning. He was offered a choice; go to juvy for the rest of his childhood, or join the army. He chose the latter of course. Dynamo was raised by an average family living in Austin, Texas. His dad was CEO of a small business involved in producing office stationary, his mom a nurse at the local hospital, a younger sister obsessed with Justin Bieber and an older brother in the high school football team. But he just didn't seem to fit in, the only thing he was good at was gaming; he wanted to compete in MLG tournaments when he was old enough or maybe become a journalist for a website like IGN. Apart from that, he just lived for the sake of living. One time he was searching Google, looking for videos to improve his K/D on CoD. Soon he found an awesome looking link, clicking on it without thinking. Instantaneously, his computer glitched out on him and was infected by a virus. Dynamo was about to attempt to remove it when a sudden thought spawned in his brain. He wanted to know how it worked, he wanted to know what made it tick. So he kept the virus on his laptop and watched how it progressed, studying it's evolution. He downloaded several different types of malware; trojan horses, spyware and worms, soon in awe at the fact that someone from the other side of the world was controlling his computer like a puppet on a string. But they weren't a hundred percent perfect; many were visibly transparent and even a total noob (or in other words a normal human being) could see through them. Eventually it just wasn't enough; he had reached the point where he wanted to code some for himself. So Dynamo researched even more, spending virtually every hour that he was awake learning how to hack. He unleased his "creations" onto the world, easily gathering credit card information and enjoying his new "job". It wasn't too long until significant heads were reared in the interwebs and he was given an invitation to join Anonymous, which he snapped up eagerly. He had planned the DDOS attacks on Sony but at the last second was caught and unlike Jak, sent to prison without a trial. But Sony knew that such talent was being wasted in an underground cell in the middle of nowhere. They needed a person who knew their systems inside out but, more importantly, a person exprerienced enough that they wouldn't have to be trained for years. Later that night they had liberated him, forcing him to work for them or else be shot and left for dead. He chose the former of course. Ziggy had asked Gecko what his past had contained; and he insisted that, before joining Sony, he had no memories. His mind was a clean, blank slate. Ziggy was certain that this was a straight out lie, but she had enough common sense not to continue interrogating him... Not if she wanted to survive anyway. Apart from that she had picked up on a Canadian accent, but that was it. Gecko was a total enigma, and an unsolvable one at that. EDIT: "Just waiting for some writer to come and continue the story."

| ((Alright, History report is done, time to write. )) Red Valley Mining Co. was the name of the facade this mysterious facility used. A train brought supplies, nothing important, just water, food, and other necessities that the miners needed. Now I use this term loosely because all the miners in the facility were wearing clean white undershirts and a carefully made plaid shirt over it. They also wore these old jeans that did not happen to have a single stain on it, an odd outfit for people that are digging holes all day. The train that brought the supplies, however, ran across a railroad track that covered half of the perimeter of the facility before entering through a small gate. It would stop to drop off the goods on a large wooden but somehow stable bridge as the workers unloaded the train. Little did they realize however, the group of six Nintendo agents sneaking out the farthest car of the train. They split up into two groups of three and made their way further into the compound. The plan was to enter the very heart of the facility in order to investigate the secret this place was harboring, and also, understand where all the miners' bunks were. Epsilon led his group of three past the facade of the mining shacks and crept towards a large plateau the entire compound was built into the side of. According to multiple aerial recons, a small, military-grade building was embedded into the rocky face of the plateau. As they progressed forward, they faced little security measures, only the occasional clean-shaven miner wielding a twelve-gauge shotgun. Meanwhile, the other three Nintendo agents, however, stayed close to the perimeter of the compound, and the pieces of the takeover began to fall into place. Once Epsilon's group had reached the secret building, they needed a way to infiltrate this probably-armed base. So, Epsilon motioned to one agent, and he pulled a knife out of his back pocket. He located a group of pipes leading into the base and began to hack away. As soon as heard a door open, he quickly ran back into the night as the technician came to fix it. With a groan of displeasure he began to examine the pipes. His eyebrows tensed, as he realized that this was not an accidental break. It was purposely done, but before he could analyze the situation further, he was out like a light and the blueprints of the building were lifted from his back pocket. ((Got some reading to do, I need to figure out what's going on before I progress, so this was pretty much just filler )) | 2011-10-22 02:22:00 Author: Silver39 Posts: 1703 |

While floating endlessly in the air, Rhym notices that the others disappeared for a little bit... No more than a paragraphs worth of time each... Rhym thought it was strange that somebody came to give them something to do, but left him floating here. He had already discerned every detail of the fiery explosion.

| SIX YEARS AGO Nick sighed as he and his team patrolled around Faithville, the moon being their only light. Ever since Nintendo had discovered SEGA was up to something, they sent out various squads to patrol day and night, almost 24/7. Nick wasn't a big fan of this plan. "So what if SEGA has a bit more soldiers near their outpost anyways? They're nothing to be feared. Maybe they just had a break in or something", Nick suggested. "Nah, Nintendo checked. Besides, if there was a break in there had to be something worth stealing", Harry pointed out. Nick didn't like Harry. He was smart and shot down all his silly ideas. Nick sighed again and continued patrolling with the other three men. When the night reached four a.m., they started to head back to the nearby Nintendo outpost when suddenly the scream of a thousand dying creatures crying in agony cursed their ears. Harry fell over dead, Thomas howled in pain, John was laughing like a madman, and Nick fell over, barely keeping his consciousness. Horrible thoughts pierced his head. He was tempted to murder, fight, loot, kidnap, all sorts of foul ideas. Nick heard a gunshot and sat up. Thomas had a bullet in his head, and John was holding his rifle. "John, what the hell!', Nick said while pulling out his own rifle. John responded with a laugh and pointed his gun at Nick. He had gone mad, Nick had only one choice. He closed his eyes and shot. Thump. John fell over, dead. A tear formed in Nick's eye. These were his closest friends, friends he spent three years serving with, and now they were all dead in an instant. Nintendo was right, SEGA had to be up to something. He had no time to cry though, he had to go check out Faithville. He ate a 1-up and sprinted to the town. Nick arrived at Faithville to see a little slice of hell. People were being gunned down in streets, bodies were all over, and the laughter. The laughter never ended. It was then that Nick remembered that he had a radio, and that were was a Nintendo outpost nearby. "Outpost Mushroom, do you hear me?", Nick practically yelled into the thing. No response. "Outpost Mushroom, this is Corporal Nick do you copy?", he screamed again. Someone responded. "Corporal Nick! Everyone has gone mad! They're killing each other! Oh my god, it's awful. They're using anything they can. I ba-", the radio signal died. Nick swore and put the radio away. He wasn't going to stand here and let people die. He continued running in search of survivors. Not all the bodies were just shot. Some had knives still in them, while others looked like they were beat to death with a blunt object. Bones and organs were revealed and Nick was glad he didn't have dinner or else it'd be on the ground with everyone else. The screams and the laughter had grown even louder. Every so often Nick encountered a lunatic and had to hastily put them down. While it damaged his morale, he knew it had to be done. There was, sadly, no sane survivor as of yet. After about a minute of jogging, he saw where all of the sounds were originating from. Closer to the middle of the city, people were panicking, chasing or being chased. He couldn't do anything to help. If he used his gun, a stray bullet could hit an innocent. It was that thick of a crowd. He observed his surroundings when he saw a boy, no more than thirteen, crying by a trashcan. The boy looked quite peculiar. He had scars all over his body alongside various stitches, and that's when he noticed the eyes. They weren't there, they were gone. Hell, he could still see some of the blood. Nick threw up his lunch, then approached the boy. "Ar-are you alright?", Nick said, resisting the urge to vomit again. The boy looked up and pointed his face in Nick's general direction. "Wh-who's th-there?", the boy said inbetween sniffles and tears. "It's alright. I'm with Nintendo, I'm here to help", Nick said cautiously, trying to win the boy's trust. "Th-then why we-weren't you he-here earlier?", the boy asked. "Wh-why didn't yo-you he-help me?" Nick didn't know how to respond to that. He didn't know if he could. "What happened to you?", Nick asked. "Th-they did experimented on me. Put stuff in m-me. To-took out my eyes", the boy said in a quiet voice but still in between tears. "W-why di-didn't you he-help me? Yo-you said you wo-would come! You l-lied!" Nick was confused. There was no rescue mission as far as he knew. "I don't know what you're talking about. Look, we have to get you out of here. We have no time, come on." Nick said. Realizing he should probably cover up the boy's eyes, he took out a blindfold he had always kept handy for some reason and tied it around his head. The boy flinched multiple times and Nick reassured him that it wasn't going to hurt him. "Okay, let's go", Nick said, picking up the boy. "So what's your name?", Nick asked. "I'm Nick" "Michael" "Nice to meet you Michael" Knowing nowhere else to go, Nick headed in the direction he believed the outpost to be in. He was still a bit disoriented and nearly lost his balance multiple times. When the outpost finally came into view, it happened again. The screaming flooded his ears alongside the foul thoughts. Nick fought them as best as he could before he fell over, unconscious. | 2011-10-22 03:11:00 Author: Testudini Posts: 3262 |
| The burning aroma of the warehosue grew stronger the longer Alexa waited. She knew there was a reason that the squad was going to meet here, but she couldn't for the life of her remember what it was. After half an hour of waiting, she saw a tall, thingman come from the door on one side of the large room, holding a sniper rifle in one hand, and a case in the other. "Pete? Pete is that you?" He came a little closer, and stopped at the table Alexa had set up, and simply nodded. "Haha, Pete! How you been?" He just shrugged, and Alexa looked at him with a confused stare. "He can't talk" She darted her head to the other side of the warehouse, where the twins had made an entrance. "Ah, Eve, Erin. Been a while." "Yeah, what is it? 6, 7 years? Whatcha been up to all that time?" "Shot up, left in the desert for a week, low paying job at Microsoft, Nothing important." The 3 of them turned around to see Pete actively staring at them. "Uh... Erin? What happened to him?" "Shot in the neck." "I see, but I don't see Zak or Jason anywhere, any of you guys see them on the way in?" "Yeah, actually." a shadow yelled, from the other end of the large room. "Jason's back baby!" "Jason, i thought we told you to stop talking like that 10 years ago." "Guess i didn't get the hint... Anyways, how's it been a while since last time we saw eachother, why is now so important?" "Yeah Alexa, why'd you drag us out to this old warehouse today?" "I trust you know about Blackout." Pete nodded. "Yep." " 'Course, been all over the news." "Well we're going to stop them, with the help of the LED Microsoft." "Seriously?" "Cool, Sounds fun." "How?" "We work from the ground up, leads, operatives, outposts. We do all that, then we find my father." "Your father? Was he the one in that recording that was on the news the other day?" "Yeah that was him." "How do you know he's still alive?" "He's survived 3 console wars, he's alive." "Alright, if you say so. What's our first lead?" "Plane crash in Sao Paulo, happened just an hour ago. It was an Nintendo plane, important Nintendo execs, no way it was an accident, Blackout had to be involved." "So, we're going to investigate? How are we going to get there?" "Well, we-" The sound of loud propelers and jet engines roared into the warehouse, cutting Alexa's sentence short. The all walked outside to see what the commotion was. "ALL ABOARD!" Now waiting for them outside was the last member of the team, the shorter pilot Zak, with a falcon in waiting. "Well, Zak always did like to make an entrance." "Where to bossgirl?" "Just get us to Sao Paulo Zak." ((BAM Finally done, and finally getting in on some of this action.)) | 2011-10-22 05:50:00 Author: Merc Posts: 2135 |

| ((Tempted to leave you for a bit longer for the lols, but I've finished, sorry bout that little writer's block moment )) Ziggy hit the deck, her hands clasped firmly over her eardrums, preventing any serious damage befalling her hearing. She lay prone, moving slowly towards the cover of the trees. But before she managed to reach cover, a six foot something mercenary blocked her path; she tried to reach for her Desert 5 but the heel of his muddy brown boot kicked it aside, following up with a powerful strike to the the face. Metallic tasting blood filled the inside of her dry mouth. Whilst temporarily stunned, he blindfolded and gagged her, binding her hands and feet together. The man then started to drag Ziggy (and by the slight sounds coming from further behind her, the rest of the squad as well) along the worn, dusty path before flinging her effortlessly into the boot of what she assumed (by the crappy handling as the driver sped off) was an army jeep. A damp cloth was forced against her nose, suffocating and squeezing all of the breath out of her lungs. She was unconsious before her brain registered the sweet, sickly scent of chloroform. Near the end of the journey she regained consciousness, now getting ever so slightly ticked off about the number of times she was blacking out today. She heard a soft clunk as the jeep's door was closed and a few moments later the noise repeated itself as the trunk was opened and she was pulled out, being dumped on the floor as if she was a bag of groceries. The soldier quickly used his swiss army knife to cut the rope which bound her legs together and forced Ziggy to her feet; the cool metal touch of a Beretta jabing her sharply in the back as she was urged to walk forward. She had been taught how to recognise the feel of various weapons, knowledge which was surprisingly useful in situations such as this. Over the years she had picked up knowledge about reload times, MAG size, weapon size, scopes... you name it, she knew it. "Move, faster. COME ON!" An especially sharp jab followed but she didn't respond. If Ziggy wasn't temporarily blind, she would have whipped round, managed to get the gun out of his hand and the bullets inside embedded inside his skull. But she was temporarily blind and there was nothing she could do about it. For the time being. So she grunted and walked on, forced to stop before a doorway. (This time she assumed it was a doorway because her captor had told her it was a doorway. For once it made sense. Sort of.) The jangling of of keys echoed throughout the hallway and was accompanied by the usual , "which one is it?". Eventually the noise subsided and Ziggy was shoved into a room... a room with no floor. (She knew this by the fact she was falling through midair. Duh.) Common sense told her that this was a lie. There had to be a floor. Always was. The problem wasn't that she'd fall for an eternity never meeting it, but rather that the fall would be so great that when she actually hit the floor, she would go splat and die. Even now, thinking that, she wouldn't give up on her life, even though she could count everything worth living for on one hand... if she could only get that hand free! she struggled desperately in midair but it was no use. No use thinking about that sort of thing. Because grass was green, the sky was blue and she was going to die tonight. Ziggy hit the ground... And sunk right through; the freezing, liquid depths engulfing her whole. So hell was actually underwater? Talk about irony. It took her a while to register that she might just be still alive. And a while longer to realise that if she couldn't get to the surface in time she would be back in the afterlife. Ziggy tried to kick upwards; but she had never been a good swimmer and with her hands tied behind her back with a coil of the thickest rope in existence, she had no chance of making it out alive. And that was when the hand came out of nowhere and grabbed her shirt collar. | 2011-10-22 18:25:00 Author: abyssalassassin Posts: 717 |
| When Isaac noticed the leaf trap he was just about to step into, he tried moving but it was too late. He flailed his arms around, one that held the duffel bag which held the crate, flung to the side, and another grabbed onto a piece, but that broke off. Luckily he was able to hang on with his feet against one side and his back against another. The weight of the backpack really started kicking in, pulling Isaac down, as he tried keeping his feet pressed tightly so he wouldn't fall, and impale into the sharp objects that wait below. He very carefully reached for his shovel, and he could tell the backpack was slowly coming off. He unzipped it, and the shovel fell out but he reached his right arm out and grabbed it by the tip, as it nearly fell, although while doing so, his feet slid down a little. The backpack was slipping off and he tried to grab onto it but it fell deep down, so all he had was the shovel, and it would have to do. With both hands, he would hold the handle of the shovel firmly, stick it above him some and to the right, into the Earth of this cylinder shaped pit. He would stick the shovel to the right of him above some, into the earth, keep his back pressed against the earth behind him, then slowly and carefully move his legs upward, although not too slowly, as he could tell that his energy was running out. He would then firmly press his legs against the ground infront of him, and slowly move his back up, to be leveled at the same height with his feet. He continued doing it a few more times and then flipped over and got out of the hole. Isaac lied on the ground for a little bit, but got up, grabbed the duffel bag, and continued looking some. After waking a great deal more, just with his shovel and a water bottle he had in his pocket that almost slipped out earlier, he had found the hideout. He looked around some, saw objects covered n dust, but so many memories came up. Nature did it's course, patches of grass visible in the cracks, vine over the wall. But Isaac was wondering why the hideout wasn't where the map said it was. He had done the research, could it have been moved? Why would people go out of their way t move. He kept trying to replay that scene where he was blindfolded, strapped to the car, rope tied all around. He couldn't see anything, but he felt and remembered the paths taken, from a pathway on a certain, empty road, to this very place. He remembered the swerves, the bumps, but for part of it, there was a stop. As for talking, all he could remember was some mumbling, he could make out some sort of foreign language as they pulled the window down a touch when stepping out, leaving Isaac inside. there were at least three people there, maybe more, he couldn't tell though completely. He could've just got it mixed up, although he tried keeping it in his mind. He tried staying still and hiding somewhere in case anyone was there. After a while, he looked around from the outside, noone. He took out his shovel, and walked into the building. Nothing of great evidence was really there, at least in the downstairs. He walked upstairs to see if there was anything helpful there. As he was, he felt the ground shake the slightest bit. He couldn't get distracted though, he continued going upstairs, and found a room, with some string and paper left behind. He then read a sticky above it saying "Take supplies, put the pictures up, fill in the pieces". Isaac looked down and between the shelf it was on and the wall, he thought he could see a thin part of a picture. He reached his hand down through it, and saw an image of a person in soldier uniform, and he could see a Sony Commander Badge on the soldier. He found a bag in one of the drawers, and stuck the picture in there, and put that in his pocket. Isaac then got out his shovel, went back downstairs, with the duffel bag holding the crate, unzipped the bag, got the crate out, and started to dig. | 2011-10-22 19:06:00 Author: Dragonvarsity Posts: 5208 |
| ((I'm doing Nick entries so that Nintendo has more of a presence in this war, and for when I'm waiting for Whaaaaale to post his next entry)) PRESENT Nick looked over at Faithville, silently cursing at his superiors for stationing him here. He had no fond memories of this place and didn't want more. It was still a hellhole and always would be. People went in, never came out. That was their job. Make sure what goes in stays in. Didn't have to do anything though, the city took care of whoever walked its streets. Nintendo covered up what had happened there. As far as anyone was concerned, Faithville was just your average gang-ridden town. Just another entry to its vault of secrets. Ever since The Scream (which was the name the survivors gave it), Nick had gone slightly mad. He heard voices in the back of his head and he saw things that weren't there. The horrid thoughts still plagued him but it didn't take much effort to repress them. He was one of the few survivors that could. An eye was always on Nick for this reason. "Did you hear about that plane?", Nick heard Johnson say. "No, what happened?", Dmitri said in his thick Russian accent. Nick personally didn't care for gossip yet he found himself listening to the conversation. "Well, let's start at the beginning. Outpost Penguin was attacked and almost everyone's bodies were accounted for except one", Johnson explained. This scared Nick, for he knew that Michael was stationed there. "Let me guess, that Michael kid?", Dmitri asked. "Yep" This worried Nick even more. Some very horrible people were interested in the kid, namely the one Michael called Bad Man. "So, Nintendo is thinking Blackout did it. They think they took this Michael guy to a plane, stole it, then tried to fly it to some airport in Sao Paleeo, or whatever it's called. Then out of the blue, its engine exploded in mid air and crashed right into the city!" Johnson told Dmitri. "Honestly, it sounds like another war is just waiting to start up", the Russian suggested. "Well look at you Mr. Captain Obvious! No fudge another war is bound to start up. Though it seems like this time it'll be the three versus this Blackout group", Johnson pointed out with his southern accent that annoyed Nick to no end. "Can it you two. You have jobs to do", Nick growled. They protested for a bit then went to their posts. Nick went back to staring at Faithville. | 2011-10-22 20:48:00 Author: Testudini Posts: 3262 |

"Price wouldn't want his death to stop us tearing these Blackout punks a new one, lets move out and take the roof."

| Something about this Michael fellow was awfully strange. All he really told him was his name and Edin wasn't really sure if that was even true or not. Anyways, he was in the guest bedroom now and Edin needed to sit down and rest. He went inside the living room and turned on the television, it was the news. The news anchor was talking about the plane crash in Sao Paulo. They labeled it as a terrorist attack. Edin scoffed, why did they always think it was the terrorists? Edin got up, turned off the television and went and checked on Michael. He was asleep. Why was he on that plane? What was Nintendo doing on Sony territory? Was it Nintendo? Could it actually be terrorists? Edin laughed. He needed to stop thinking about silly things like that. He was done with that part of his life. He retired from Microsoft almost two years ago and didn't plan on going back. The stories he heard were just too much to bare. Nintendo and the murdering that happened six years ago, for example. There were so many more but Edin didn't want to think about them. Edin sat down on his chair and opened the journal and was about to begin reading when someone knocked on his door... | 2011-10-23 00:26:00 Author: Whalio Cappuccino Posts: 5250 |
| ((Quick filler and DUN DUN DUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU moment out of bordem.)) "Sao Paulo is in sight." "Alright, good work Zak; Bring us in." "You guys see the crash site?" "No, Jason, there's only a giant pillar of smoke coming from over there." "Oh." The falcon's altitude dropped towards the crash site as the squad loaded and cockedtheir weapons, the sound far surpassing the noise of the blades. "Love that sound." "Alexa, where do you want me to drop you guys?" She searched around the tall buildings and streets of Sao Paulo for a landing zone, but spotted a peculiarity instead. The sihlouette of a hooded man stood on a building a few blocks away, staring right into her eyes just before dissapearing with a shimmer and leaving behind a light aura of darkness. "Alexa?" "Yeah, uh, just drop us on that parking garage, Pete, Zak, you two stay in the air, provide overwatch, Erin, Eve, Jason, we're going to search through the crowds, look for anyone suspicious." | 2011-10-23 07:09:00 Author: Merc Posts: 2135 |

| As the helicopter landed at the Sony HQ, Rico couldn't stop noticing how very few soldiers were on their posts, less that the usual flux of people running around the base and checking things. The man that gave him the chopper was there. He was surprised when he saw Zim, a true living legend of the last war. She obviously didn't appreciate the attention she was being given. - Tell me soldier, where is everyone? - The main leaders and soldiers have gathered up in the main building to discuss the incident. I suppose you had seen it? - Yes, I did. But what exactly are they discussing? - The providences that will be taken. - I got to talk to them. - I wouldn't recommend that, they are very busy and won't... Rico ignored his warning, grabbing Zim's wrist and dragging her all the way to the main building. ------------------- There was a lot of commotion inside. Sony leaders, soldiers and journalists disputed their place in the crowded auditory. One of the journalists, a girl with blonde hair and blue eyes was right in front of everyone, trying to talk to the commander. - Commander, what do you think about the crash? Was it accidental, or proposital? - We can't jump to conclusions, but we think that it was proposital. - Who caused it? - There was a Nintendo emblem on the plane, so we can assume it was... Rico knew what the answer was going to be. And before the Commander could finish his sentence, he shouted as loud as he could: - BLACKOUT DID IT!!! Everyone silenced. All the eyes and cameras in the room focused on him. - I did a research! Neither Nintendo nor Microsoft are responsible for this! Blackout and Ascension are to blame! - Agent Rico Martinez, we can't jump to conclusions! - Isn't it obvious? Why would our allies attack us? The incident was someone else's fault! - We're going to look into the matter more carefully before assigning the responsability of this event to someone... - I got someone that can prove my statements! Rico pulled Zim out of the crowd, leaving everyone surprised. The journalists left the leaders and gathered around Rico and Zim, asking dozens of questions. The commander ordered them to silence and give them some space, then aimed a question directly at Zim: - Then tell me, little girl, what do you got that proves Rico's statements right? Zim, clearly disturbed by all the focus that was centered on her, tried to play along and formulate an answer: - Listen, first of all, I'm no longer a little girl. Second, I can tell that both groups are onto something, because me and my friend here got attacked by them for no apparent reason, other than to keep our mouths shut. - And what do your mouth has to say that is so important? Zim took a deep breath, then answered: - GDN's alive. They know that. And they are afraid I might be able to find where he's hiding. Another massive commotion filled the auditorium, before the commander ordered silence again. - If what you two are saying is true, we need to confirm. Zim? - Yes? - We are taking you to the interrogation room. If GDN's really alive, then we need to find him. You are going to help us, by saying all that you have to say, do you understand? - *sigh* Yes... - And Agent Rico... - What? - Your work here is done. You did a great job finding her. We are taking it from here. Stay away from this case until we need you, do you understand? - But sir, I think... - DO you understand? - Yes... Sir... - Fine. This meeting is oficially over! -------------------------- While the soldiers and journalists tried to get back to their usual lives, Rico still couldn't accept the order he was given. Why was the Commander so worried about him being part of the investigation? His thoughts were stopped when the blonde journalist appeared behind him, asking for some quick questions: - Mister Rico! Mr. Rico, some answers for the newspaper! - Uh, who are... - My name's Chloe, and I'm covering everything related to the massive crash that had happened in Downtown S?o Paulo. - Uhhh, ok? - May you answer some questions? How did you get the idea of looking for Zim? - Well, I just thought that someone that had lived throught the fourth war would... - Right. Is it true that you and Zim were attacked by Blackout? - Obviously, or do you think that... - What are you going to do now that you're out of the investigation? - I'm sorry, but that's none of your business, lady. Now if you excuse me... - Ok. Thanks mister Rico. The girl walked away, and Rico thought it was a good idea to walk to his car as well. ((Plot foundation set!)) ((Next step: plot development.))

| They only kept Rhym and Ziggy together. The other two had been taken somewhere else. Rhym had managed to loosen his bindings on the car ride over and once they were thrown in this hole together, he took them off all the way. Then got rid of that blindfold. He heard the second splash near him after he climbed onto the small landing above the water, so he knew that Ziggy had just landed. After a minute of no sound of surfacing, Rhym started to wonder what was going on. So he jumped in and quickly found her struggling to surface. He grabbed her by the collar and pulled her to the surface. As soon as they got to air, she was gasping, trying to get all the water out of her lungs and fill them with air. ((Every one of the following dialogues is going to be switching back and forth between Ziggy and Rhym. Just saying to decrease confusion... ))"So what was that all about?" Rhym inquired. "Heck if I know... You're the one who came from their base. I thought you turned us in. But since you're here, I guess not," replied Ziggy. "Where are we anyways?" "Well, if we get up to the doors that are 50 feet above our heads, then we're about 100 yards from Central Command. I'm guessing your friends are right on the other side of this 5 foot thick wall. Over in the next holding chamber." "And why do you know this?" "They gave me a tour. I've only been through this hallway once. But I think I could find the exit." "Wait. We might be able to disable Blackout for a little while. Do you know where the weapons storage is?" "Yes. But they never gave me a pass key. Plus, we're still stuck down here. How are we supposed to get out?" "Simple. We climb." Ziggy's plan was a flop. They were all set to start ascending when they realized that the walls were as smooth as glass. There would be no climbing them. "Okay then... Time for Plan B," assured Ziggy. "I always have a Plan B." "What would it be then?" "Can you fly?" "Do I even need to mention how stupid that sounded?" "You're right. Do you have any ideas?" "What items do you have on you?" Ziggy produced an expanding shovel, a lighter, and some pocket lint. "I marvel at how prepared you are for emergencies like this. I mean... Come on... Me, the runaway/prison escapee/Blackout 'member', at least has some Silly Putty." "Silly Putty? What the h*ll is that going to do for us?" "Did I mention that I modified it? I can imagine the commercial now! ~Sticky Putty! Now 300 times stickier than Silly Putty! And it's only 5 easy payments of $49.99!~," Rhym stated matter-of-factly. "And that helps us... How?" "Watch." Rhym then proceeded to put a little bit of the putty on his hands and climb the wall. It worked much better, to Rhym's delight, than he planned. So he tossed the canister down to Ziggy. "Catch! Just put a little on your hands. Too much will make your hands stick permanently. So be careful." And of course, what does she do? "I'm stuck..." said Ziggy helpfully. "You're what!?" exclaimed Rhym from the door he just opened. "I'm stuck... I think I put a little too much on..." "Hmm... Let me see that shovel." Rhym started to climb back down after closing the door. Since Ziggy had her hands tied up, Rhym had to get the shovel himself. It was a very awkward 10 seconds. Maybe the most awkward of his life. He tried prying her hands off the wall with the shovel. That didn't work. He tried picking away at the putty. That didn't work. He thought he had tried everything. His last thought was that maybe heating up the putty would allow it to loosen it's hold on her. And, as usual in stories like this, the last thing that could possibly be tried works. --10 minutes later-- Rhym finally got the door to the other room to open and found it empty. ((Ooo! A cliffhanger! Good luck, Ziggy. )) | 2011-10-23 22:43:00 Author: Speedynutty68 Posts: 1614 |
| ((Haven't read everyone's post recently, but I did read some. Here goes another post, and will make sure to read others' posts later, but this post doesn't start off right after Isaac started digging, but earlier)) Heather got back to Sao Paulo, only to see flames rising high up in the sky from far away. Heather's phone started ringing as she was about to get back in her car. Unknown Number. *Meanwhile, in Sao Paulo Prison, a little earlier" Ivon: "Is that smoke out there? Must be far away, I just need to reach up to see better." Prison Guard: (under his breath) "Well, maybe if you got off the couch once in a while you could be able to see what's going on.." Ivon: "Excuse me? Were you just talking about me?" Prison Guard: "Does it honestly matter what I'm thinking..." Ivon: "Well, I haven't used my one call yet, I'd like to now." Prison Guard: "Tough. You had your chance squirt, and you decided to "hang onto it". It's a one shot deal, and you said no." Ivon: "Well MAYBE if you were CLEARER about it-" Other Guard: "Oh for god sakes Bill just let him make his call." Prison Guard (Bill): "Well, if getting a simple call will shut the twerp up, then fine, I'll let you have a call." The Other Prison Guard, Marcus, sighed, knowing that Bill was angry he didn't get the higher rank position that was available, so he mildly tried seeming in charge by saying things like that, even though he could never disagree with Marcus' call, as it didn't mean a thing if it was from him. Bill shoved the telephone to Ivon, and he tried dialing Isaac's number. No answer. Ivon tried calling another number, until stopped by Bill. Bill: "Whaddyou think you're doing?" Ivon: "I wasn't able to get to my friend, so I'm trying someone else." Bill: "We said ONE phone call, is that clear enough for you, bud?" Ivon: "But the other one didn't work." Marcus: "Let him try again." Bill: "*Hrmphgrrr* Go on.." Ivon dialed Heather's number, which she gave to him earlier. *Back to Heather getting the call* Heather picked up the phone, only to hear Ivon on the other end. Ivon: "Hey Heather, what the heck's going on, I can barely see smoke through the bars." Heather: "Yeah there was this plane cr- wait, did you say, bars?!" Ivon: "Uh yeah, the cops sure like framing me for stuff.." Heather: "Uhmm. I'll come over, I just need to check something." Ivon: "Okay, see ya then." Heather hung up the phone, and Ivon waited at the prison, handing the phone back to Bill. Due to a person biting guards on several occasions and having some hallucinations, he was moved to a special Mental Prison Cell, right before Ivon got arrested, getting himself a free room. Heather later came over and checked in, showing identification. She then walked over to where Ivon was, only to get approached by Bill. Bill: "So, what is someone as pretty as you doing in a wretched old prison like this." Heather: "Im here for Ivon, I called, requesting to give a cash bond, and they accepted. I had Ivon investigate a store, there was some evidence that proved that people were storing illegal....citizens... in there." Bill: "Then why did Ihear about him, sleeping in a bin near the side of the road." Heather gave Ivon a questioned face with a tint of anger on it and Ivon looked back and said.... Ivon: "Well, that's the thing. These uhm..... mexican people had mugged me, stole what I had, and then I could vaguely see them going toward the store." Bill: "Sounds like some real geniuses..." Heather: "Yep, anyway though, let's go Ivon." Bill: "Wait, you will be responsible for him." Heather: "Oh, it's fine. We're cousins.." Ivon raised an eyebrow, but before Bill could say another word, the two left, went outside, and then into Heather's car. Ivon: "Cousin?" Heather: "Oh, I don't know." Ivon: "Are you really responsible for me?" Heather: "I'm sure the guys can make a way around it. Just tell me where you live and I'll drive you there." Ivon: "Oh, umm, actually, the bin was the most I made for a home here..." Heather: "Don't you have any money for a hotel....or a motel?" Ivon: "Yeah, but those guys are charging tons each week, I can't afford something like that!" Heather: "Alright, you can stay with me, but ONLY for a few days. I'm gonna try calling Isaac, he should've been done by now." Ivon: "I tried calling him, no signal." | 2011-10-24 00:46:00 Author: Dragonvarsity Posts: 5208 |
| Ivon sat down on the couch and switched on the TV. " just make yourself at home, I'll retry Isaac " heather said while she walked towards the kitchen. "um... heather. in the store... there was a big crate" Ivon said. heather looked puzzled. "a big.... crate?" "yea a big crate. it was tied up and the drunk was trying to get it" "your not making any sense Ivon" "there was a crate inside the store and it had [CAIRO - EGYPT ] or something like that on the side and the drunk who made me go inside was trying to get it because i saw him sneaking inside when i got arrested" Ivon blurted out. heather's eyes opened wide and she raised her phone and dialed. " what are you doing?" Ivon asked. "ive got to talk to Isaac now" she said hurriedly, she raised the phone to her ear and waited. (( the crate everyone, THE CRATE! )) | 2011-10-24 15:15:00 Author: nerzdadestroyer Posts: 1527 |
| After finishing burying the crate for safekeeping for a little while, Isaac put the floorboards back on the dirt, where it was before, and looked around again, just in case, but tried not to touch anything and if he did, e tried using these bandaged mummy-looking gloves, to try disclaiming any possible evidence that could be left behind. He saw a paper on the wall, camouflaged in dust, fall onto the ground. He picked it up with his glove, and dusted it off, and saw a short message on it. Step 1: Kill Seera Ikrov. He looked for other step notes, but that was the only one. ((problem? Na, I don't wanna put too much to frazzle story, oh, and first time I've used frazzle here I think O_o)) Isaac got out of the building, and continued walking forward, and then a path around the right, arriving in another city. Thankfully he didn't bring his wallet, which would've been stuck down in that deep, pit a while back. He did however have a little money in his pocket, which bought him a cab ride back to town. The cab didn't get very far though when entering Sao Paulo, as it was backed up with traffic. Isaac: "What's with all the commotion?" Cab Driver: "Looks like there's been a car crash up ahead. Oh, and these news guys keep doing all these specials on the recent Nintendo Airplane Crash." Isaac: "Nintendo Airplane Crash? What are you talking about?" Cab Driver: "An Airplane crashed into downtown Sao Paulo, had a Nintendo Emblem on it. No survivors were found, although it wasn't some executive or anyone famous. Not sure what it was for, but they've been replaying what the SSO has to say about it." Isaac: "Can you turn it on one of those news channels?" Cab Driver: "That'll cost extra." Isaac: "Heh, good one. Just play it, please." The Driver turns it on during some of the questioning from the media. Reporter: "Who caused it??" Commander: "There was a Nintendo emblem on the plane, so we can assume it was..." Rico: "BLACKOUT DID IT!!!" Rico: "I did a research! Neither Nintendo nor Microsoft are responsible for this! Blackout and Ascension are to blame!" Commander: "Agent Rico Martinez, we can't jump to conclusions!" Rico: "Isn't it obvious? Why would our allies attack us? The incident was someone else's fault!" Commander: "We're going to look into the matter more carefully before assigning the responsa- Isaac cursed to himself, but out loud. He got out of the cab, and paid the cab driver. Isaac: "I'll go the rest of the way, thanks." Isaac ran on the sidewalk and got to his house. He drove his car over to the S.S.O., showed them his identification, requesting to speak with Rico. He walked in and asked to speak with Rico. After a while of being held up, waiting out in the lobby, he got to speak with Rico alone. Rico: "Man, you missed it Knowles, a plane crashed! And others are starting to pick up on it!" Isaac looks at Rico with a serious face, not saying a single word. Rico: "Man, what's wrong with you?" Isaac: "Do you not even recognize what you did out there?" Rico: "I showed these people the truth, instead of feeding them lies like everyone else does!" Isaac: "Yes, but Blackout will see your little speech, and the higher ranks will blow us out of proportions, end the riots, and make it seem like nothing happened." Rico: "Not if we can stop them." Isaac: "You don't understand, these people are smart, it's like they're three steps ahead of us. When you go making random speculation, whether true or not, they know exactly who will get in the way. They'll find out what we're doing, and go one by one." Rico: "And you announcing it over the phone is any different?" Isaac: "I had to get your attention!" Rico: "And I had to get theirs!" Isaac paused for a second, and sighed. Isaac: "Rico, I'm sorry for getting upset, I just don't want thins to fall apart...again. I've seen it all collapse before." Rico: "It's alright, I've got us a new member." Isaac: "Anyone important?" Rico: "Of course, you know me, I only accept the best!" | 2011-10-24 23:59:00 Author: Dragonvarsity Posts: 5208 |
| The 4 of them got to ground level and approuched the crash site, the crowds still surrounding the burning mess of plane debris and dead flesh with the fire trucks on station trying to put out the flame. The falcon circles above their heads as they started searching through the crowds. As the armed squad started to move closer to the crash site, they gained the attention of one of the riot police watching over the scene. "You 4 better have a **** good reason for walking into here like this. A good enough one for me to not have to tear gas all of you." "Private defence group, BA78, We're looking for Blackout involvment in the crash, mind if we take a look through the crowd?" "Make it quick, you're going to make a lot of commotion if you linger around for too long." Alexa nodded, and signaled the twins and Jason to fan out into the crowd. "Zak, see anything?" "Nothing yet, Pete's spotting em out for me with the spot scope, should let you know if he sees anyone suspicious." "Alright, good." "Alexa! Got something, there's a guy recording in a black outfit, pistol on the belt near where we came in." "Yeah, can see him and another like him on a radio from up here, right side." "On approach now. Eve, you're on me, Jason, Erin, take the other one." "On it." Jason moved up close to the man and tapped him on the shoulder, immediately causing him to bust a sprint away from the scene and alert the other to do the same." "SH*T They're making a run for it! Jason, Erin stay on that one, keep up in the loop! Eve lets go!" "Tracking their progress from up here, looks like they're trying to meet up somewhere." "Thanks Zak, still in pursuit!" The Blackout troops quickly moved down the streets, trying to lose the squad by crossing through the gridlocked streets of Sao Paulo, alerting everyone to the scene. ((Hint, ALERTING EVERYONE, HINT.)) ((And if you do contribute, make sure that i catch at least 1 of them.)) | 2011-10-25 03:03:00 Author: Merc Posts: 2135 |
| "There's no one here. They should be here." Rhym's brow was deeply furrowed, his eyes confused and frustrated. "I can see that dipsh*t." Ziggy rolled her eyes and leant back casually against the grey-ish concrete wall. "I'm presuming that they can't just disappear. Apart from that kid who attacked me. Where is he again?" "Not. Here." Ziggy facepalmed herself but Rhym didn't notice. Typical. "Are you sure about that?" Rhym felt something brush against his shoulder and span round at lightning speed, jumping back in shock at the figure standing before him. "It's you! How did you-" "I'm here. You don't need to know why." Even in the blistering humidity, Gecko's skin still had a haunted quality about it and his snow white hair made it look like he had just emerged out of a raging blizzard. "-do that?" "I said, I'm here, you don't need to-" "Not the ninja thing. The talking without using your mouth thing. Are you a ventriloquist or something?" She almost ended up rolling on the floor laughing but somehow; somehow she managed to resist. He was probably feeling shaken up about the fall or had hit his head on the way down... Or something. "Yeah, I am. You wouldn't think it but it's a pretty useful skill." "How? It's just a circus trick." "I can hear the alarm bell ringing in the corridor outside." Ziggy butted in, on the brink of exploding from too much more stupidity. "Oh... Crap. Shouldn't we get out of here?" "No, we should just sit here and wait for them to find us." "That was sarcasm wasn't it?" "That was rhetorical wasn't it?" "So we run for our lives?" "We run for our lives." The three emerged out of the doorway and began to run at full speed towards where they thought the entrance was located. Ziggy felt vulnerable without a gun in her hands and daydreamed wistfully about her M4, which she had left back at camp. Barely a few seconds passed before Gecko called out to her and flung it her way. Clutching at straws, she began to think about her medic kit. "Who do you think I am? Jesus?" "In that case, give me a triple chocolate fudge sundae with extra sprinkles." "Blood and Ice Cream. Haha, nice combination." "Who said there was going to be blood?" "They did." Rhym pointed over to a space about fifty metres in front of them. So it was five on three? So be it. But they weren't firing on them, just standing there. The group were too far away to make out their opponents faces. So they walked onwards; guns raised and aimed, stances low to the ground. Eventually the crackling tension got too much to handle and Ziggy yelled out. "WHERE ARE THEY?" "Remind me who again?" "THE REST OF OUR SQUAD?" "I honestly don't know; we keep so many people in our torture chambers that finding out who's who takes a lot of paperwork. Come back next Tuesday maybe?" "Torture chambers?" She tried not to show her true emotions but she had always had a crap poker face. "For experimentation and the like, ah, yes. Valuable resource actually; it has aided us much in our discovery of the human race." She gulped. Who were these people? Madmen (Or madwomen, judging by the speaker)? Fanatics? Lutatics? All of the above? They couldn't possibly be aliens, the whole idea of extraterestial life existing on Earth was absurd... "All of our projects have turned out successful and have changed us for the better. Apart from one. But I'm pretty sure you already know that don't you?" "What are you going on about? We don't know anything about-" "You don't. He might." She pointed at an empty space... The empty space Gecko had been standing in. "Tell us where he is now and we won't lessen your numbers by two." "We don't know-" Ziggy's head was reeling with shock, how could Gecko have not told her about something as important as this? "UP HERE!" And with that battle cry Gecko jumped down from the ceiling and landed on top of the speaker, knocking her to the ground. | 2011-10-25 08:16:00 Author: abyssalassassin Posts: 717 |

| - And what if I told you that this "new member" is a veteran of the last war? - You didn't... - Yes I did. I found TheZimInvader. It wasn't that hard to find her, she wasn't exactly hidden... - And where is she now? - She's at the Headquarters. The commander is going to interrogate her and gather information to get us to GDN. He told me to stay out of the matter however. - And I suppose that you are not going to obey him. - I'm from SSO, that's what I do. I gather information on my own. And you, got rid of that crate? - Yes. - Nice. Well, I'm going home, I suggest you do the same. We get in contact if anyone finds something. Rico walks back to his car, leaving Isaac behind. The sun was starting to set in the horizon, and soon the night would cover the city. -------------------- The black H3 soared throught the dark streets, blending with the darkness. Martinez couldn't stop guessing why the commander was so worried about him. Was he just following a standard protocol he wasn't aware of? Or was there something bigger behind his order? Regardless, he wanted to go back to the crash site and see if there was anything else he could find. -------------------- The car was following its way to ground zero, when it was suddenly stopped by a misterious man in black crossing the street in front of him and heading into an alley. Rico got out the car and tried to see where they were heading, when another squad appeared behind him. They ignored him and continued forward. Rico ran back to the car and went around the corner. He used the car to block the exit, cornering the runners. | 2011-10-25 16:59:00 Author: gdn001 Posts: 5891 |
| Michael woke up in a field of flowers and a sky as blue as the ocean. This shocked Michael, he was blind after all. The laws of the universe dictate that it is impossible for him to see without eyes. He climbed to his feet with ease, and looked around. The field was surrounded by a ring of trees with rolling hills following behind. The field itself was littered with many varieties of flowers. Some were small, some were gigantic. The gigantic ones proudly towered over his head, without a care in the world. He noticed a shimmering figure in the distance and decided walked to it, having no clue what to do anyways. The figure looked like floating, sparkling water. It looked vaguely human, but neither female nor male. Wherever Michael walked, the figure turned it's head, as if studying him. "Hello", the voice of the female said, except this time it echoed across the whole field instead of just Michael's mind. "Hello", Michael responded. "You're probably wondering where you are. Well, physically you're still in Edin's bed. Mentally, you're in the Field", she explained. Michael continued staring at the figure, who stared back with the emotion of Michael's face during any time of the day. Which was to say, a blank expression. "It's a world inside the minds of those experimented on for the Genesis project. A world I control. Right now, only you and I can... be here", she further explained. Michael presumed that the figure was her then. "Sadly, I can't appear to you right now, I'm busy with... other matters." That couldn't be true. If she couldn't 'appear', then what was this water figure thing? Who was it? Was this just some sort of guardian? "Now, why you're here. The Field is...important to say the least. It serves as many things, like a bridge. It also allows me to hear you, though you don't speak much anyways so that's kind of useless." "Bridge?", Michael asked, still focused on the figure. "Well... I take it you've noticed your... powers. You don't use them much, but when you do the Field temporarily extends to your... target's mind, The stronger the bridge is, the more control you have over the target." she answered. "Wait...something's wrong. Oh no no no-" she began to say nervously when suddenly Michael woke up, sweating like mad. | 2011-10-25 20:21:00 Author: Testudini Posts: 3262 |
| ((Just gotta fix up what i'm hearing here to avoid mass confusion.)) The car was following its way to ground zero, when it was suddenly stopped by a mysterious man in black crossing the street in front of him and heading into an alley. Rico got out the car and tried to see where they were heading, when another squad appeared behind him, Microsoft emblems on their armor. They ignored him and continued forward. Rico ran back to the car and went around the corner. He used the car to block the exit, cornering the runners. ((First of all, half the team (2) is after 1 guy, the other 2 on a different street trying to catch another guy.

| Isaac headed out of the HQ, and drove back to his house. Before he knew it, his Sony phone started buzzing, it was Heather. Heather: "Finally, what's taken you so long?!" Isaac: "Sorry, I meant to call you earlier, but I kinda got stuck midway in a deep pit in the Forest. I talked some with Rico as well, but how's it going for you?" Heather: "Good, Ivon's gonna stay for a little bit, he might know something, can't be too sure though, after hearing that he got dared into doing something by a drunk man.." Ivon: "You would've done the same! Well, maybe not exactly.." Isaac: "Oh, and umm, I found some more stuff, but maybe it's best if I just explain it to you later in person, I'm gonna do some research though, in the meantime, can you and Ivon try investigating this plane crash, it had to have come from somewhere, and it seems that there's a lot more to it.." Heather: "Well, is there anyone who can give me a bit of information or evidence to where it was coming from?" Isaac: "Well, Rico had explained about one guy who witnessed it, he might be of use tracking it down." Heather: "What's his name?" Isaac: "Alex Hawkins." ((Yes, got permission from Butter, or umm.

| ((Firstly, This post assumes that Blackout have (or at least had ) access to spaceflight)) There was a hissing noise as the airlock decompressed, equalising the pressures. Jeyran - Nimons colleague and friend, Floated over towards the intercom. "This is a Class 2 Security Station, You have no reason to be here" She stated The intercom simply crackled, as the Air lock continued. "I repeat. State your intent" Jeyran commanded "Or we will jetti-". She was cut off mid sentence as the airlock door flew backwards under the force of a small explosive. 3 men in black pressurised suits stepped out, their magnetised boots sticking to the floor of the space station as they fired their matte black assault rifles - the bullets tore through Jeyrans soft clothing and even softer flesh then through the walls of the Space station causing precious oxygen to begin leaking out, Nimon heard the bullets from the opposite section of the Praetorian and activated his eyepiece, Against the icy coldness of space the 3 figures burned brightly with a few specks of heat - what was left of Jeyran, Floating around them, Nimon propelled himself across the room towards the escape pod, Barely getting in before the door hissed open, the door locked, and the system automatically began it's Destruction protocol, Boosters on the far side of the ship began cycling through its targets. The escape pod fired from its docking as the Praetorian began to fall out of orbit, Its microboosters directing it to a target on the Earth below. the skies above the old sony city lit up, first a streak of green as the Escape pod entered the atmosphere, Followed by a flash, as the Praetorian crashed through it, The members of blackout were desperately trying to deactivate it - as their ship had been jettisoned along with the escape pod. The city of Vita was obliterated in a crimson explosion, As the Praetorians Fusion generator detonated. Followed swiftly by the Blackout vessel, Which had broke up into pieces and lay scattered around the crater that was once Vita. ((Okay!

| ((ideas please , could it be related to the boxes we keep finding?)) ((Well, I'm not trying to control things but if you want to focus on the crate you found, I'd like to differentiate the two. The crate that was left for ISaac was purposefully given to Isaac, and he has reason to believe it was someone involved in earlier events, the one who gave him this crate because for some reason, he could no longer take care of it. He's now suspicious if the person who gave it to him is the same written on the paper on the wall in that hideout, but I'll work with that in acutal posts and whatnot. I guess you'd need a good reason to have a suspicious crate in some store. I suppose it was smuggled, but the owners of the store didn't know about it being there, or at least what it contained, seeing how you walked in there so easily, despite getting kicked out and thrown in jail. It can be used as one tiny tidbit of many other things to bring people together, only for some sort of trap possibly.)) | 2011-10-26 22:59:00 Author: Dragonvarsity Posts: 5208 |

| "He's heading into the alley! Keep in close!" As Alexa and Eve ran into the alley, following the presumed blackout trooper, they were suprised to see him being pushed up against the wall at gunpoint by another man, who -from their distance- looked like another Blackout trooper. "Zak... You seeing this?" "Yep, looks like you guys have things under control i'm going to go watch over Erin and Jason." "Got it." After this exchange, the pair proceeded forward, the enemies still not aware of their pressence, they gave eachother a quick glace to solidify their next move, and then silmultaneously shot each of them in the leg, the victim falling to the floor and staying silent, the armed one, anything but. He remained standing, holding his wound, and tried to fire at the pair, with no luck. ((Problems? ))"AH WHAT THE ****** WAS THAT FOR?" "Because we can. You're coming with us, both of you." "WHAT? ME? I'M SONY GODDAMIT!" "Well that explains a lot." "S**t. Sorry about that" Alexa helped the man up, and bandaged up his now bleeding leg, but it looked like he had been through that sort of thing many times before. "You alright?" "I would've been much better if you 2 hadn't showed up." "Uhh... guys, hate to be a bother, but the other guy limped away while we weren't looking. Alexa and the soldier looked past the hummer blocking the alleyand saw the Blackout trooper going as fast as he can into the next alley trying to make his way to the other end of the city. "Alexa! Get your ***** moving! They're both heading for the beach for a pickup!" "Alright, we're on the move. Care to come with us cripple?" "Rico." "Uh, you guys might want to get here real quick, we've got 3 more of them on the docks trying to get the hell outa dodge." ((Next part is going to be some epic shtuff man.

"WHY NOT?" the Guard stays silent, however Alex manages to peer his head around and sees the CEO's Secretary talking to some soldiers "I see" Alex mumbles.

| - Damm! Thank God it just scratched, but it still hurts as hell! - Sorry to make things worse, but how are we going to find them now? Rico reminded that he still had the parachute he always carried with him. - I have an idea. He grappled onto a nearrby building and reeled in, then let go and opened his parachute, glinding throught the air. He used the grappler to keep moving forward and avoid going down. - And I thought I had seen it all... - Follow him!

| ((Sorry if I havn't posted in a while, it's just that I'm quite busy at the moment, not because I quit.)) Two hands grabbed Johnny and Smith from behind their hiding place. They were lifted up in midair. A Spartan had found them. "Well, well, what do we have here?" he chuckled, "Oy, boss, look what we found." A man in a suit and sunglasses turned around. "Johnny Williams," the man said, "at last." Johnny seemed confused. "Who are you?" Johnny demanded. "Me? Well I'm simply just, Omega," the man replied, "but you, you are the reason we are here." He gestured to his troops, and they reluctantly climbed into their transports, including the Spartan who had found them, placing Johnny and Alex at Omega's feet. The Pelican transports then proceeded to depart the building, just as suddenly as they arrived, "What do you mean, why did those guys leave?" Johnny asked. "We did not come here to destroy this building, not yet anyway, we came to give you a message, a warning if you will," Omega answered. "Look pal, people of died today because of your attack." Johnny yelled angrily. "Me? No. They died because of you, they died because of your father, we are just the undertakers here." Omega riddled. "That doesn't even make any sense!" Johnny was getting more and more angry. "How could it have been my father's fault, he was a mechanic!" "You shall find out soon enough, Williams" Omega laughed. Johnny pulled out Price's desert eagle and shot Omega repeatedly through the chest, untill he fell of the building to his death. | 2011-10-28 11:35:00 Author: sheepysean13 Posts: 27 |

| ((Okay, cool. Anyway, here's my next post)) Isaac drove into his neighborhood. He remembered that someone must've hacked into the camera station's recordings, maybe more than just the crate being delivered to him. But why? Is it so important that he doesn't know who went by there. He had to go answers. As he got onto the street where his house was, he remembered. The old man, with the camera, could he have some sort of pictures or video occuring during or before it was shipped? He drove into his driveway, but it was getting pretty dark. He would soon try getting a warrant for investigating the person's house, as even he had some restrictions. He needed to know what was going on, but for now, all he could do was get some sleep, so he closed the windowdrapes, locked the doors securely, and fell onto the bed.

| Edin got up and went to check who was at the door. He looked through the peephole and didn't know what he was looking at. It was some sort of figure, just standing there... Or was it floating? Edin had no idea, but the figure was beautiful. It turned gracefully and was sparkling like water. Edin couldn't stop staring. Suddenly, without any will power of his own, Edin opened the door and let the figure inside. The figure was black, but had a blue glow around it. Just when Edin was about to speak, it turned around and said Michael's name. It's voice echoed around the living room. Edin asked it what it wanted from Michael, why was it here? But the figure moved towards the guest room totally ignoring Edin's question, as if Edin wasn't there. It slowly creeped up to the door Michael was resting in and stopped a few inches away from it. It turned around once again and said "The Field". "The Field? What the hell are you on about? The **** is The Field?" Edin was getting irritated. "The Field..." "Michael..." The figure was talking so quietly, but it's voice still echoed throughtout the hallway. "Ok seriously, what the hell are you on about? What do you want from Michael? Get away from that door!" Edin tried to grab the figure but his hand went inside the figure's body and out on the other side. "What the hell is this?!" Edin was freaking out, this had to be a dream. It just HAD to be a dream. This was a ghost, or a demon or something. Whatever the hell it was it wanted something from Michael. Edin was beyond confused and he sort of wanted this thing to take whatever it wanted and leave, but something in his gut refused to accept that. So he tried to grab the figure again but to no avail. However, this time, his hand went through the figure and grabbed the handle of the guest room door and opened it. The figure started to scream, "No... No... NO!!!" when suddenly, it disappeared, into thin air. Edin looked at Michael who was still deep asleep, probably dreaming, as if none of that just happened. Edin began to wonder if Michael even had dreams. Afterall, he was blind. Did blind people have dreams? Edin was still looking at Michael when he woke up sweating, screaming like mad. Michael got up and started to walk towards Edin. His eyes weren't there, they were replaced with what Edin could only describe as dark holes. Michael grabbed Edin by the throat and began choking him, Edin couldn't breathe and was throwing punches left and right, trying to grab anything, anything that could help knock Michael out. But it was useless, Michael had his hands wrapped around Edin's neck and Edin began losing consciousness. The room was spinning and Edin's vision was slowly fading away, the room was getting darker and darker until it was pitch black. Edin woke up with the sound of his own heartbeat. It was beating fast and Edin realized it was just a dream and told himself to calm down, he went to check on Michael, who was up. He was about to begin asking some questions. | 2011-10-29 23:04:00 Author: Whalio Cappuccino Posts: 5250 |
| Ziggy deftly evaded the trail of bullets chasing after her shadow and dived headfirst under a table, skidding on the sterilized white tiles beneath her. She barged the table over with her shoulder, spilling numerous containers full of neon coloured chemicals onto the pristine floor, all reacting violently and imploding. The flashing muzzle of her M4 brought down suppressing fire onto the four mercenaries who blocked the pathway to Gecko and that woman. The two were still fighting ferociously; Ziggy watched fascinated as over ten types of martial art were utilised in the space of half a minute, the pair's skill levels perfectly matched. Hastily she threw her body to the ground once more as she saw the sniper at the back take aim and fire, the golden glint of the bullet slicing effortlessly through the air. The smooth aerodynamic chunk of metal would have torn straight through her left eye if she hadn't had the common sense to duck. Ziggy took the guy by surprise with a well aimed headshot and started weaving and swerving through the chaos, spraying the gun, resulting in another man sinking to the ground with a deep grunt. She grabbed another vial off a different table and chucked it at a neutral coloured wall. The impact created an intense mushroom shaped cloud of noxious smelling gas which made the other two soldiers left standing recoil in shock. She rolled sideways and hid behind the counter, lobbing the M4 halfway across the room to Rhym, who fumbled and dropped it. She cursed angrily. Within seconds he had it back in his hands. Seconds after that he and Ziggy were the only ones left standing. "Watch out!" A shadowy figure rose up behind her and she already knew that she was doomed. "This is the moment where you die." It was the second person she had "killed". The man removed the spherical, metallic nugget wedged in his bullet proof vest and held it in front of her eyes tauntingly before chucking it over to a far away corner. "No. This is the moment where you die." The guard didn't have any time to react before she swung round and embedded a two inch long transparent shard of glass into the artery running through his throat. The muscular body flopped to the tiles below, as lifeless as a rag-doll. Rhym just stood there horrified; staring at the eyes gazing nightmarishly towards the low ceiling. Ziggy tried to take hold of his arm and pull him away from the disturbing casualty but he wouldn't budge, he was in pure, raw, shock. "Rhym, come on. We've got to help Gecko." She tugged again. Harder. "Uhhh... Yeah. Right." Rhym gradually emerged from his consuming daze and rushed after her. | 2011-10-30 00:40:00 Author: abyssalassassin Posts: 717 |

| ((Don't know if you noticed, but I'm waiting for you, Merc. :kz: )) ((WELL I'M SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORRY. Not my fault BF3 is so addictive.)) Erin and Jason rushed down the docks after the trooper and his accomplise, jumping across boats and weaving through the small crowds to try and lose them and make their escape. When they finally made it to the end of the dock, there was an open space, and a large motorboat ready and just urging to leave, with at least 5 more of them on the boat. Erin and Jason kept running towards the boat and unloading their weapons into it at a steady pace, supressing fire, should any arise. Once the two of them took a second to reload their weapons, the enemy wasted no time, and one of them popped out of cover, and mounted an MG on the gunnel of the boat, pounding the docks around them and striking Erin right through the chest. "ERIN'S HIT! ERIN'S HIT! WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU GUYS?" "We can see the docks just hold tight!" Pete readied his rifle and zoomed in on the docks to see the bullet ridden dock and Jason trying to pull Erin into cover, and the boat already moving out to sea. "Eve! You hop out and help out those 2, the rest of us are going after that dam boat!" ((C'MON RICO! LET'S GET THAT BOAT.)) | 2011-10-30 02:34:00 Author: Merc Posts: 2135 |
| ((C'MON RICO! LET'S GET THAT BOAT.)) http://newsimg.ngfiles.com/101000/101751_fine_jeez.jpg Rico followed the runners to the docks, followed by the squad below. He saw the two suspects being followed by two members of the squad on the piers. Rico landed on a warehouse. He armed his pistols and was about to open fire when a MG started shooting bullets all over the place. One of the two squadmates was hit, and the others had just arrived, but the boat had taken off into the sea. - Eve! You hop out and help these two, the rest of us are going after that damm boat! - Not without me you're not! Rico jumped down the warehouse and landed next to the squad. - You again, parasailor? - For now, let's concentrate on the chase, ok? The team got into another boat, and after the escapers. ------------------------ As they approached the enemy boat, machine gun rounds started to whizzle on the air and water around. Rico opened fire, but the boat was still too far away to shoot at. - Wait, I have a better idea... He aimed the grappler on the boat and shot it, attaching the rope into them. - Yes! I got them! Whoa! The boat started to zig-zag, in an attempt to break free from the grapple. Rico kept one arm grappled at the enemy boat and another holding onto the friendly boat. - Guys... I think this is the part where you do something about it! | 2011-10-30 23:22:00 Author: gdn001 Posts: 5891 |
| So after watching her stab a man to death, Rhym decided to try to stay on Ziggy's good side. When she through him the gun and he dropped it at first, he was pretty sure that she was going to be on him for that. She treated it like it was her baby or something. Rhym thought it was weird. Once they ran across the room over to Gecko and Mrs. Muscles, Rhym decided to be the action hero. Now, imagine a small, skinny teenage boy launch himself at a huge, 300 pound, all muscle, lady. Now stop laughing. Basically, he jumped into a wall. A wall that hits back. And hit back she did. Rhym was airborne for at least 5 seconds. And a slow 5 seconds it was. He even had enough time to register, even though his daze, the horrified and entertained expression on Ziggy's face. He may have been conscious during his flight, but after the landing, Rhym was out. Rhym slowly regained consciousness. At first, all he could do was listen. "So, do we even know what this thing does, Ziggy? And what about the kid? What do we do with him?" This came from a male. Rhym didn't know who because he was still really groggy. "I know what we'll do with him." This was another male voice. "Shh, I hear him moving." When Rhym fully awoke, the first thing he noticed was that it was dark. Then he noticed a familiar face behind an unknown object. Once he got the safe things out of the way, he saw the gun barrel. Pointed straight at his forehead. "Ziggy. He's awake. Can I shoot him now?" ((Short yes. But Ziggy can choose which of the three are holding the gun. During the time he was out, Ziggy and Gecko were able to save Dynamo and Jak. All were then able to escape to the surrounding forest. If you want, you can go and add a 'backtrack' of where they were or something.)) ((Edit: Changed how he woke up. The 'object' is what we talked about, Ziggy.)) | 2011-10-31 02:13:00 Author: Speedynutty68 Posts: 1614 |

Almost like he had had seconds drawn into days once before.

| ((Whats happening im waiting for Dragon or Nerdz)) ((You don't have to wait for me, you can continue what you're doing, but I will try getting Heather closing to approaching you, or whatever. Anyway though, post coming today.)) ((EDIT: Here it is)) Heather packed her things, ready to head out. Ivon: "Should I come with you?" Heather: "It's better if I-erm, well, actually, you come along.." Ivon: "What?" Heather: "Well, I barely know you, not sure why I let you stay at my place, so of course I'm not gonna leave you there with all my things, no offence..." Heather and Ivon get into her car, and she turns on the equipment she brought to the car and what was already built in/attached inside. Ivon went over to the passenger's seat. Ivon: "Woohee, these chairs are comfortable, you got a massage button." Heather looks over to him with a serious face. Heather: "Crates, codes, crashes, symbols, an elite group possibly returning, please Ivon, we need to be serious here." Ivon: "I can help, but just answer me please, is there a button for that?" Heather: *Sigh* "On the right of the chair pull the miniature crank, a button slot will come up, press the purple one." Ivon: "Thanks." Heather: "And please, put the vibrate to silent, it's distracting." Ivon: "Okay." Heather does a search test for Alex Hawkins, and a few results pop up. "Alex Hawkins, Microsoft Agent" Heather: "And that's all it shows us. Obviously they have their own restrictions.." Ivon: "so we can only access it in New Natal?" Heather: "No. still, we're Sony members, you need an elite card sign-in" Ivon: "So how are we going to get to him?" Heather: "Well, I'll see if I can do some more scans, I'm not quite sure yet." Heather drives through Sao Paulo some to get some food first, and then sees a giant crack in her windshield appear. "Heather: "The hell?" She sees how the crack emerged, and can see something over the water speeding by in the distance. She puts her head down and pushes Ivon's head down too, and bullets fire through the windshield and other windows. Heather and Ivon tried getting as much broken glass off as they could when getting up, and could see a blur of boats passing through a gateway over the water. Ivon: "What the heck was that?" Heather: "I don't know, wait, Isaac gave me Rico's number recently, I'll just call him, one second." Heather dials Rico's number, and a military phone in rico's pocket starts ringing. Due to all the loud noises, Rico's oblivious to the calling, and the phone automatically starts the call even though he hasn't picked up. Heather can only hear lots of loud noises. She can barely hear some privates talking, and some woman's voice. She yells as loud as she can through the phone, but no response. She hangs up the phone, and Ivon looks at her, questioned. | 2011-11-01 14:37:00 Author: Dragonvarsity Posts: 5208 |
| " so.. how is he?" Ivon asked. heather looked at him in that way again. but this time it was way more serious. then her face made a slight flinch, as if she had just remembered something and she raised her phone, typed in a number and held it to her ear. she mumbled something then she frowned and typed a code into the computer. the screen beeped and she straightened up in her chair, grabbed the steering wheel and floored it. the sound of boat engines slowly got louder and Ivon started to freak out. " what. are. you. doing!" he squealed. her faced was unchanged. solid stare out the window. then she turned sharply and flew through a wood. the ground was rough and the car was being thrown around. Ivon turned off the chair, he didnt need it any more. the car swerved maddeningly through trees, they were getting closer together the further they went. the sky was a blur and the tyres squealed as the car veered off course and a tree took the left wing mirror off. then panic filled the car. heather looked at the computer and swore. " no no no! were going straight towards the..." the car went up a small hill, took flight and span in mid air as it traveled over a fast flowing river. the air hammered through the broken windscreen into thier faces. their screams shook the surrounding area as they landed onto the bank of the river and the car continued to speed through the wood. Ivon turned his head slowly, struggling with the G-force, and repeated himself, finally finding the situation a whole lot more serious. " WHAT. ARE. YOU. DOING!?" he shouted. " im getting to Alex Hawkins" she said slightly croaky, obviously freaked out about what shes doing. suddenly ,in the distance, a hill appeared and on top of it was a small building. the car sped up the hill finally pulling clear of the woods, although one last tree took the other mirror off. heather hit the breaks and the car slowed to a halt with a jolt. they were both thrown forwards in thier seats and then sat back again. they looked at each other for a second. then Ivon smiled and jumped up shouting" WOOHOO!" then sitting back down as his fist smashed through the sun roof. he shook the glass off and stopped smiling. heather got out of the car, startled, and walked towards the house.

| ((I will thanks)) 11PM Microsoft Vheicle Storage garage ---------------------------------------------- Alex rests up against a wall trying to blend into the shadows , the guards that he was watching pass, unaware that Alex was there. Alex now slips around the corner and spots one guard left to guard the Storage garage, Alex notes his weaponary , an M141 Assault rifle and a combat knife only one thing for it, Alex rushes him using the guards own gun to butt him in the side of the head with it , the Guard is sent reeling and Alex takes the keys from the guard and unlocks the Garage as sonn as he enters he sees a Special security jeep "perfect" He jumps in and starts its before Stomping on the peddale , when he is out of New Natal he activates the Jeep's computer and searches for his file he tries to access it. "Access denied , please enter access code" "easy!" Alex says He enters *KINECT* and the computer loads his profile with all his data, he scrolls down too the bottom!

| "You're asking this now, when he's awake." She raised an eyebrow. Why was he so eager to murder this Rhym guy in cold blood? Then it hit her like a ton of bricks. Two tons of bricks. "And that matters, because?" Dynamo spat the sentence out disdainfully. His tone even made Jak wince slightly, which was pretty much unheard of. "If I was going to shoot Rhym, I'd do it when he was asleep. That way it would be humane. But no, you want to do it when he's awake and you can see the fear in his eyes as you point your frikking Uzi in his face. You'd obviously get some sort of sadistic pleasure out of that. So if you want a straight answer; no, I'm not letting you kill him. And anyway, he might still be useful." "You do realise that I heard every single word that just came out of your mouth?" Rhym had sat up quickly and was now clutching his forehead with both hands like he had a really bad migrane. "Dam, I feel like I want to puke..." "Haha, that's just bad head rush. You won't throw-" Ziggy was contradicted instantaneously. "Up... I spoke too soon. So; you feeling sleepy yet?" "After what you just said? Hell no." "Haha. I didn't say I would kill you when you were asleep tonight, I said-" "Look, talking about my impending death is kinda freaking me out a bit. Can you stop it now?" "Sure, whatever you say. Anyway, at the moment you're far from being the first on my hitlist." "Good to know, I guess... Who is public enemy number one then?" Ziggy laughed; she had to raise an eyebrow at Rhym's audacity. "I'm pretty sure you know that already." "Indeed I do... Am I allowed to, like, go now?" "No can do. You're a fugitive on the run from Sony. Our faction. If we let you go now then that'd be equivalent to, to... letting you go. Look, here's the deal. You come back with us to Sony HQ; which is only a day's walk away and I don't let Dynamo do the honours." "You would actually let him shoot me then?" "On second thoughts, I'd do it myself. That he can't be trusted..." She gazed thoughtfully at the glowing moon, which seemed to take up most of the inky black night sky and leant back on her palms; gently so she didn't hurt her injured hand even more. "What'd you say!" Dynamo retorted back with a ugly snarl plastered across his face and walked over to her. She got to her feet nonchalently and rested against the huge barked tree behind her. "I said, that you can't be trusted. I'm pretty sure you heard me loud and clear the first time." "If that's the way you want it, fine. I don't even want to be here anyway. Ya know what? I'm done with this bull. I'm leaving." "If you leave, I will hunt you down and I will kill you. Got that?" Her voice became cold and ruthless; she strolled forward so that they were barely standing five metres apart. "I'm not scared of you." And he wasn't. That was pretty darn obvious. "But you're scared of him aren't you?" Instantly Gecko came out of nowhere and seized him roughly from behind. He rested his particularily nasty serated combat knife on Dynamo's neck and his fiery hazel eyes glassed over with sheer terror. "Scared of the lab reject? No way." Gecko was the calmest person she had ever met but he still had limits. The dagger drew a drop of blood and Dynamo yelped in pain. "Okay, okay, I might as well stick around for a bit." "Jak was right, you are a coward. C'mon, we all better start moving before that monster comes back with more henchmen to blow our brains out..." "Wait... She's not dead?" Rhym metaphorically doubled back. "Nope, Gecko was about to deal the final blow when she just, just... evaporated. Into thin air." "How is that-" "Possible? I dunno. Sure was awesome to watch though." Ziggy glanced briefly at the faded silver watch wrapped round her left wrist. "Like I said, better get moving." | 2011-11-03 01:27:00 Author: abyssalassassin Posts: 717 |
| Alexa and Rico continued to rythimically hammer rounds into the Blackout occupied boat in front of them. The boat travelled at alarming speeds for a boat of it's size, slowed down by the other boat simply being dragged along. "Last mag!" "Zak, Pete, gunna need some covering fire over here." "Intercepting!" Zak moved the falcon into place on the left side of the boat, with Pete supressing the fire on the boat. "Hey Rico, can you reel us in closer?" "No, but I have a better idea, take the wheel for a minute." Alexa shifted positions and moved to the throttle of the boat as Rico detatched the grappling hook from the boat and latched it onto the underside of Zak's falcon. "Hey pilot, it's about to get rough!" The minute the grappling hook threw itself onto the aircraft, he swung forward towards the other boat with Alexa grabbing onto his wrist at the last second and hopping onto the deck of the enemy craft. "Uh, guys, it's Eve, hate to interrupt your high seas hijack, but there's a cargo plane slowing down and on route to your position, probably planning on picking up that boat there." Alexa and Rico moved their way up the boat, which they realized had many more troops than they had seen at first, with about 10 of them currently on the deck. All of a sudden, in the middle of the firefight, the sound of the cargo plane struck through the air and came into view, dropping 4 winches from the back of the plane. and moving in closer to the boat. Distracted by the aircraft, a trooper swiftly came up behind Alexa and kicked her to the gunnels of the boat and punched over the side just as the winches came down and scooped the boat out of the water. ((Welp, seems i'm in a bit of a pickle now aren't I? also, play the BF3 theme (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5YzzaRdGGVg&feature=player_embedded) as you read for maximum epicness.)) | 2011-11-03 03:37:00 Author: Merc Posts: 2135 |
| Rico turned around to see the trooper attempt to punch Alexa out of the boat. The winches begin to lift the boat, making everyone stumble a bit. Rico charged towards the trooper and threw him to the ground, hitting him with a swing of his hook while he was on the ground. Alexa climbed back onto the boat, that was almost boarding the large plane. - What are they trying to do??? - You think I know? One way or another, we can't allow it to happen! Rico looked out the side of the boat, where he could see one wing. He attached the hook onto it and shot the other extremity to the floor of the boat, tethering the two together and making the boat tilt slightly towards the hooked side. - That might give us some time! - You can do that? Why didn't you tell me you could do that? - We have to hurry, the rope won't take this force forever! More troopers were on their way, forcing the two to resume the firefight. | 2011-11-03 21:06:00 Author: gdn001 Posts: 5891 |
| Michael heard a door slam open and pointed his head in the general direction of the disturbance. "Alright...I have a few questions that demand answers", Edin asked in a slightly frightened tone which made Michael a bit curious. "First off, who the hell are you?", Edin asked. "Michael", Michael responded. "No not your-", Edin began to say when he was cut off by a bullet whizzing inches away from his face followed by Michael slamming him into the ground. "Oh my god what was that was that a bullet why did you slam me into the ground oh go-", Edin was beginning to say when he was interrupted by Michael punching him in the mouth. "Ow! Why the hell did you do that?", Edin complained, putting his hand to his injured mouth. "Silence", Michael ordered. He felt around his body and realized that Edin just put the robe around his uniform. He ripped the robe off, causing Edin to squeak, and crawled towards where he thought the door was. Edin, having no other choice, followed. "Exit", Michael said, as if asking where it was. Edin pointed towards the front door, then realized that his guest was blind. Another bullet whizzed through the window, with friends this time. "Jesus!", Edin said. "I just got those curtains!" "Exit", Michael once again asked in his emotionless tone. "Um...keep crawling forward, you'll bump into the front door", Edin replied. Michael sighed. "Possible exit", Michael said. "What's wrong with the front door?" "Exit" "Well, there's always the back do-" Michael turned around and punched Edin again. A fury of bullets suddenly blasted through the walls and windows, forcing Michael and Edin to retreat to one of the mansion's many bathrooms. "What the hell is happening!", Edin said, obviously panicking. Michael gave no response. He didn't know himself to be honest. He really didn't know much at all, truth be told. He was just a **** engineer. He was an engineer for a reason. He didn't want to have to fight, or be in situations like this. He knew his past was going to catch up to him eventually, but he had hoped it wouldn't be this soon. He threw aside his current troubles when he heard footsteps, and Edin scream. "Michael J. Clark, you are under Nintendo custody and um...crap.", he heard a man say. He wasn't sure but he thought he had a gun pointed at his head. "Come on Oliver, it isn't that hard to arrest someone", Michael heard a female sigh. "Well we aren't even suppose to be arresting him! Nintendo ordered him executed on the spot!", Oliver complained. So that's what was happening. Nintendo apparently knew about Michael's 'uniqueness' and now was trying to prevent it from falling into the wrong hands the easy way. Michael sighed and with reflexes that could challenge a cat, grabbed the gun from the soldier's hands and pointed it at him. "Whoa, we don't want to hurt you Michael. We're here to help", the woman said. "Just drop the gun, we'll walk right out of here..." "Yes", Michael said. He didn't intend to actually shoot the guy, but it's best to have the power in situations like this. He dropped the gun. "Alright now...", the woman began to say when Michael heard a gunshot, a thump, and Edin shriek all at once. "Sam! Holy sh-", Oliver began to say when another gunshot emerged, followed by the usual thump and Edin shrieking. Realizing this was serious buisness, Michael grabbed Edin by the collar and began running like his life depended on it, which it did. | 2011-11-04 04:12:00 Author: Testudini Posts: 3262 |
| "**** well better hope that thing holds! We need to capture at least one of these guys for questioning!" "Yeah? And how do you expect to capture one of these guys alive?" "Toss one into the water, have Zak pick him up." "Easy enough, ready for this?" "You know it." Alexa and Rico jumped up from their cover and moved forward in the boat, taking fire from all angles and shooting out one of the winches attached to the boat, destabilizing the whole thing and jerking the boat in a sudden movement to the right and causing the pair to slip down to the right oof the boat and throwing multiple enemies off the sides and leaving some clinging on for their lives. "Well, there's your captives." "I'm more worred about myself right now." A second after, Rico's wire snapped as the boat rebalanced itself and was finally pulled into the plane, followed by the hatch closing behind them. The aircraft was filled with even more Blackout, with the oposition totalling about 20 troops now, with Zak and Pete dropping behind to pick up the fallen Blackout. "Welcome to the hornet's nest Rico." ((Dragging this event on for good reason.

| ((Describes main character! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NxwOf6RZAAs) Or this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YsW7j-ISB5w) version...)) So Rhym was disappointed. More than disappointed. He felt betrayed. He had helped these people get out of the clutches of Blackout. But they were still going to turn them in. He couldn't allow that. He needed to be doing something. He couldn't be locked up again. Rhym knew only a few things for sure. He needed to escape. He needed to get whatever that object was that they found. He needed to make a name for himself. And he needed to do all this as cool as possible. "Yea... Let's go..." conceded Rhym. As they were packing up camp, Rhym was able to get some alone time with the 'artifact'. As soon as he touched it, it started to glow and opened. There was a folded up piece of paper. Rhym was disappointed. He thought something cooler would be inside. But he took what he could get. So he grabbed it and as soon as it opened, the artifact closed. Seeming like nothing had happened. An entire walk back to Sao Paulo later "Okay. We're here. Let's go inside," said Ziggy. Rhym understood that they would be leaving him here. He would have no choice but to be locked up in a cage. Taken away from civilization for no reason at all. The reason he was in this situation was because of an assumption. And unless he was wrong, Ziggy didn't really seem like she wanted to just dump him here. They had made a good team in escaping Blackout and they would most likely never see each other again. "Just keep moving forward," Rhym muttered to himself. "What?" asked Ziggy, looking at him strangely. "Nothing. Let's just get this over with." Once Rhym was in his cell, he thought back over how ineffectual the security check had been. They hadn't even noticed the mines that he had stolen from Dynamo. After waiting an hour after being put in the cell, Rhym put the mines all over his cell, blew a hole in the wall, and walked out the back while pulling a rifle out of his bag. He then walked away from the burning building with the sirens blaring out into the road, through the staring pedestrians, and into an empty car which he hotwired in order to get going fast. ((Sorry, Ziggy! I did the separation... D: Well... Sorta... I said 'Once Rhym was in his cell". You can still go through that part if you want.)) | 2011-11-05 03:36:00 Author: Speedynutty68 Posts: 1614 |
| Heather walked into the abandoned house that lay before her, being slow but then slowly walking a bit casually, while still trying to be careful in case anyone was there. Ivon decided to lay low in the car, in case something happens, and he would quietly ring ehr through the walkie-talkie-esque military upgraded phone. Before she walked in, Ivon blurted out a question that was nagging him. Ivon: "Why here? What's so important about this house?" Heather: "Well, the reason I was driving so rapidly, is that there was, well, a signal. It was dying fast, so I had to follow it." Ivon: "Dying? What like, getting out of reach?" Heather: "Precisely." Ivon: "So if it's some sort of object that was picked up through whatever scan you were doing, it was moved, or he/she moved." Heather pulled out her gun, and stepped inside. Ivon checked the screen in the car to see if there was any beeping, nothing anymore it must be gone. Heather stepped inside the guest room, it was quite a nice house, pretty big. She'd have to be quick though. She looked for any visible traces, anything. She made her way into the living room, not checking the upstairs yet. As she was walking across the room, her eye caught in a piece of paper sticking out from under the coffee table. She gently picked it up, and read it in her mind. "A group of birds flutter about. A Black, mighty hawk comes, spreads out it's wings, and shows it's true strength. The birds must protect their eggs, they all leave the eggs, trying to scare the hawk away. Little do the birds know that the sly old wolf has stolen their eggs while they were gone." Heather: "Interesting...", she quietly said to herself. She picked up the note and put it in her pocket. She walked around a little more but then she heard someone, coming downstairs. She quietly looked around, and the doors automatically locked off. She hid inside the cupboard, and could hear someone getting closer and closer. Whoever was outside of the cupboard, Heather could hear him getting closer. She could hear him bending down, looking, for his note? They both could barely hear an engine. The man went back in the kitchen to get something, and headed to the front door, outside where Ivon was. He went outside, and that's when Heather tried peeking to what he looked like and if there was a possible escape route. She opened it a crack, and saw the person opening the door. She could not see who the person was, but he seemed to have some equipment, and grey hair, as she only saw him from the back. He paused, and Heather inched back in the cupboard as he turned his head around, although she didn't close the cupboard, revealing the slight crack. The person must've not noticed though, as he walked out, to find no car at all. He heard constant beeping from far away, and got worried, Heather looking through the crack of the cupboard, through the window. The person then got a call, and Heather slowly got out her tape recorder. She tried opening the cupboard and reaching it out some so it could get what he was saying. He was speaking in some sort of unknown language she had never heard of, but as the call was about to end, she edged back in the cupboard, knowing he'd come back. The guy went into the living room, passing the cupboard and leaving out the side. After waiting maybe a few minutes, Heather got out, and looking around the corners, she got out the front. She got out her talkie and tried getting to Ivon. Heather: "Ivon? Can you hear me?" Ivon: "Loud and clear." Heather: "Why aren't you here?" Ivon: "Well, the bleeping went back on, and I heard footsteps, so I hid the car over to the left of the house, or the right for you if you're looking directly at the house." Heather went by some of the trees, and found the car, truly seeing it in it's worse-than-ever state, bullet dents on the side and broken glass. As she opened the door, she could hear running, and....a bit of.......screaming? She hid behind the car only to see a guy with a bandana over his eyes dragging some other dudes along, bullets whizzing around them, soon being visible as they run through the open area, around the house. | 2011-11-05 05:04:00 Author: Dragonvarsity Posts: 5208 |

| ((So, if I were to hypothetically crash a plane into said house, what do you think would happen?)) ((I'm going to have to drop out before your hypothetical plan to follow mine.  ))The two were attacked by dozens of Blackout members, going all guns blazing into the plane. They managed to hide from gunfire behind a large container. - We have to get out of here! - Plan? - Actually, I have one. Rico peeks out of cover, then gets back right before getting shot. - These guys seems to be all wearing parachutes... We get two of them, blow a hole in this plane and hop out! - That's your plan??? - Well... Yeah! Rico again pops out of cover, this time emptying his magazines into the crowd, killing some of them. The two advanced, running and gunning towards the troops. Rico managed to get two parachutes out two different corpses, then threw one to Alexa. - That's your ticket out of here! - We still need the "hole" you talked about! - Right. Follow me! Rico ran back to the back of the plane, followed by Alexa and the troopers. He had some C4 with him, so he planted all 5 charges in the back cargo door and blew it, opening a large hole in it and sending everything out of the plane. ------------------- Rico was free falling 4 kilometers from the ground below, as the plane above kept exploding. A bunch of troopers were following him above, they probably had fallen off the plane with him. - Seriously? Rico turned his back to the ground and began to shoot the approaching blackout with his pistols. They were more than they seemed to be. - Alexa where are you? His question got answered by clicking coming from his guns. Without anything else to do, he turned around and dived towards S?o Paulo, but got attacked by a trooper, that attempted to remove his parachute. Rico hit him in the face with his elbow and grabbed his Uzi before sending him unconscious into space. He resumed the aerial shootout, right before realizing that the ground was close, and opening his parachute, followed by the 3 or 4 remaining troopers.

I talked to Toortle about it some, and we planned to where he'd pick up there, maybe his post could start with them running, and then near the end encountering Heather and getting in the car. so if you want to post, would it be alright if you just talk about what happened in Ivon's perspective while Heather was investigating? Once Edin and Michael get in the car and all, you can do whatever.

| "Hmph. This stupid thing doesn't even do anything. Remind me why you stole it again kid?" Rhym was getting tired of Dynamo; the only thing which stopped him punching the idiot in the face right that very second was the fact that either Ziggy or Jak would end up doing it first. "My name isn't kid. My name is Rhym. And I took it because it looked interesting." "How? It's just a chunk of metal. Correction. A small fragment of a chunk of metal. Which makes it even more worthless." "That ain't just any type of metal though. That's twenty four carat gold." Jak butted in confidently. "So you say. It looks knockoff to me." Jak gestured for the artifact and Gecko flung it towards him, he then examined it closely for a good minute before speaking again. "Careful mate, don't wanna smash it. I spent the majority of my life stealing valuable stuff and that is definitely, definitely gold. Trust me on that." "Okay. Could we get any money by selling it?" Dynamo enquired seemingly curiously, but it was pretty obvious he intended to do just that. "Hell yeah. A lot of money. But that doesn't mean we have to get rid of it. Those markings round the side look foreign and alien to me. We could get it checked out by a antiquities dealer or something." Jak started absent mindedly tossing it in the air and catching it alternately in each of his hands. "So you actually believe that crap about those people coming from outer space then?" "All I know is that there is no language in the world; modern or ancient, that looks anything remotely like that. So it's a possibillity, yeah." "You're all out of your minds..." "Face? Bothered?" "How long left til we get back to Sao Paulo?" Rhym interrupted quickly after he could sense the static tension in the air. "We got about, an hour or so to waste." "'Kay... I'm thinking of a word beginning with B." Jak tossed the piece to Dynamo so that he could have a look. Rhym noticed how he wasn't trusted enough to handle it, despite the fact that he had lifted it in the first place. "Bullet." "Nice. A word beginning with H." "Headshot." "Right again. A word beginning with... W." "Will you two shut the hell up?" "It was actually wheelbarrow. Y'know, like, if you continue to annoy me, that's what I'll carry your dead body off in." "Getting slightly morbid now... Just to clarify, you weren't originally thinking that were you Dynamo?" "Hell yeah! Look over there." "Awesome, anyone fancy a ride?" "No thanks." Jak was guffawing so hard that he could barely speak. "Suit yourself." And with those words she grabbed the handles, ran for the hill in front of them and vaulted inside. After a couple of seconds the "vehicle" tipped over onto it's side and Ziggy spilled out laughing uncontrollably. "Fail!" "Like to see you make it down without bailing." "I've never backed down from a dare before, I certainly ain't doing so today." After wheeling the thing back up the slope and jumping in, Jak almost reached the end but came to an abrupt halt when he crashed comically into the trunk of a giant tree. "Epic fail." "You're all acting like little children." Typical Dynamo. "Shut your trap Princess Dy; since when did you make the laws? You wanna try Rhym?" Trust Jak to want to kill him there and then, couldn't even be bothered to take him to the nearest prison. "After seeing that?" "Point taken." "Can we rest for half an hour before we carry on? Dynamo! Worthless lump of metal?" He lobbed it towards Ziggy who, after examining it for thirty seconds, passed it to a taken aback Rhym. "See if you can figure anything out from this." "You trust him with something as valuable as that?" "I thought that you said that it was worthless? And we need as much help as we can get if we're gonna end up solving it." "Fair enough. I'm gonna go get some firewood, you lot coming?" "Can I stay here? I'm exhausted." "Sure." Jak was inherently amused by what had to be the worst escape attempt he had ever witnessed. The stupid kid couldn't even hold a decent enough poker face to bluff his way through the blatant lie. "Dynamo, handcuff him to that branch." Dynamo did as he was told and walked over to Rhym, chaining him to a small-ish tree to the right of where he was standing. He then jogged back, muttering under his breath (but still audibly) to the other three soldiers. "I swear he touched me..." "Trust you to get felt up by a boy in the middle of nowhere, haha." "It was probably the breeze or something." "If you say so." When they had all disappeared into the far distance, he smiled slyly to himself. The two mines he had pick-pocketed looked powerful enough to blow up a fairly thick wall. Exactly what he would need to get out of the average Sao Paulo prison. Rhym just hoped to god that he wouldn't be properly searched. There was no point escaping now, Rhym knew that Sao Paulo was a Sony stronghold and if they called up a search party on him, the faction would have him in their clutches in mere hours, maybe even minutes. Then he would then be locked up in a much more secure building. Even if he had wanted to, the handcuffs were way too strong to break. But for now, he was bored; and they probably wouldn't come back for a while. To subdue the monotony of the wait ahead of him he took out the fragment from his pocket and began to study the enscriptions engraved deeply in it's surface. After five minutes all he had found out was that he still hadn't learnt anything new. Rhym felt extremely frustrated by now and his trademark sign of stress came into play: his palms had started to sweat. He hastily took off the gloves he had originally worn to stop his fingerprints making their own mark on the Blackout facility and now could feel the cool, pure metal on his bare palm. Suddenly the shard began to shape-shift before his very eyes; turning into a warm, molten, almost liquid, parting in the middle to reveal... A piece of paper. That was it? No beautiful treasure? Shortly afterwards, it occured to Rhym that the egg was a beautiful treasure itself. "Anticlimatic much?" Rhym watched the shard slowly regain all of it's old properties. It was like absolutely nothing had happened. No crack or break in it's surface. Nethertheless, he stuffed the piece of faded parchment and the magical egg deep into his pocket "Hey! Kid! You found the meaning of the universe in that dumb thing or what?" "It's a frikking enigma." Rhym shook his head feebly. "Ain't found nothing." And he hadn't found nothing all right. He had definitely found something; pointless as it may be, he didn't feel that he should tell Dynamo, or indeed any of them. "We can sleep on it. See if we find anything tomorrow..." She lay down on the solid rock ground below and tried to get to sleep. It had been a long day... "No, we can't." Gecko's voice infiltrated her thoughts. "I think they've found us." Everyone sat up at the same time. "We need to go." "I think we all got that message the first time Ziggy." They hurriedly extinguished the newly built bonfire, the blazing inferno now just a pile of smoke and ash, drifting gently towards the star littered sky. Half an Hour Later: "We're nearly there, c'mon, we're nearly there." Ziggy's breath came in short, sharp gasps. They had all been running for thirty minutes straight and barely anyone could walk in a straight line by now, so they slowed down to a fast walk. "What did I say Gecko? I knew that it was noth-" With those words, a Blackout grunt dressed head to toe in black leaped out of the bushes. Jak embedded 3 bullets in his chest, making the man sink to his knees, his life no more. More came piling out of the vast expanse of foliage until they were overwhelmed. "RUN!" "Like we need telling!" After a few seconds more of rushing forwards, the squad broke though the rainforest and emerged at the edge of an expansive field. Ziggy tripped over what seemed to be an invisible blockade and a selection of intense floodlights were trained on them; the blinding luminosity making them fall to the floor and go prone to evade the consuming beacons. "This area is under a Level 4 quarantine. If you wish to remain alive then I suggest you tell me your names and why the h*ll you're now standing in the middle of a minefield!" "A minefield, huh? That's new, did it come with a free jacuzzi? 'Cos after that experience I think I need one..." "Is that you Jak? Turn off the lights!" They all let out sighs of relief as the darkness was restored. "Hell yeah, who else do you know who would insult their commanding officer... sir." "I dunno, maybe me?" Ziggy leant on her left elbow and rubbed her eyes blearily. "Ziggy, good to see you're still in one piece." "Near enough." She held up her broken hand tentantively. "How'd you do- Never mind, I don't want to know. And why are there five of you?" "That one's a hostage." "I'm not a-" "No, you're not a hostage Dynamo, but if you don't shut up, I'mma make you one. I meant that kid." "What did he do wrong?" "Nicked and crashed a Sony helicopter, killing everybody inside, pilot included. That good enough for you?" "Oh, that guy. I thought that was just a legend; everyone was talking about it but I just thought nobody would be stupid enough to- Nevermind." The sargeant shouted over to a guy standing near the floodlights. "Take him, I'll question him later. I'm surprised that you weren't back soon after, you know..." He shifted uncomfortably; rocking back and forwards on his heels awkwardly. "So, tell us, what the hell happened?" "You didn't hear?" Their commanding officer stopped, aghast. "Hear what?" | 2011-11-06 22:19:00 Author: abyssalassassin Posts: 717 |

| Rico glided over the buildings of S?o Paulo, followed by three survivors from the plane. One of them shot a hole in Rico's parachute, making him fall on the rooftop below. Luckily, he was only 10 meters from it, and managed to hit the ground unharmed with a roll. The troopers opened a rain of gunfire towards the building, forcing him to hide behind the structures on the building. He then fired back at them, making two of them fall to their deaths and killing another. The downed trooper continued gliding and landed softly on the rooftop. - Well, let's see what you got there... Rico searched the body of the dead trooper for anything useful. He found a device that seemed like a PDA, however, it seemed of a unique kind. After spending a minute trying to find out how to turn it on, he was disappointed to see that it was entirely written in unknown symbols, similar to the ones he saw in the crates. - I have to show this to Zim! That's when he realized that he left his car parked in front of an alley somewhere Downtown. - Sh*t! Let's hope it wasn't a No Parking Zone! ((Zigg...

| ((Will do gdn, and LOL Toortle, yeah, you will have quite a challenge trying to make out how the hell you're gonna make it through that one blind xD Anyway, time to get ISaac back in)) Isaac, after finally getting caught in some peaceful sleep, was awoken by ambulance lights. He quickly got up and prepared to exit his house to see what was going on. When opening the door, he was met by at least 5 firetrucks, blocking the road in front of him. But that wouldn't get in the way from the smoke rising high from the fires toasting upon the house in front of him, the one he was going to investigate the next morning, the one with the old man. A burnt house. No more old man, no more footage. Technology these days, you could trace anything back practically, and they can be precautious. Could it have been taken somewhere else. Isaac's phone was buzzing rapidly, so he went over to the table to pick it up, but remained silent at first. Rico. ".....Hello? This is Rico, you there Isaac?" Isaac: "Yeah, sorry. I was just trying to get some sleep, but- we have a problem." Rico: "You're telling someone who was in the same plane as a bunch of Blackout soldiers!" Isaac: "What?!" Rico: "Oh, I'll explain later. Anyway, I need you over here." Isaac: "Got it." Isaac got his things, and took the photo of gdn as well. Seeing as how all the trucks had blocked his path, he jogged his way out of the neighborhood. ((Oh, and abyssal, that song you had to describe Ziggy......I like some dubstep, the repeating over and over can be very annoying, but that song, thank you so much for sharing )) | 2011-11-07 21:41:00 Author: Dragonvarsity Posts: 5208 |
| ((ALRIGHT, If you're reading this it means i have succeeded... Finally.)) "Alexa, where are you?" "I'm right h-" She was suddenly interruped by another Blackout member stealing her parachute and trying to take her by the throat while he unsheathed a knife. She tried to retaliate with an elbow to his chest or a stomp to his foot, but his grasp tightened with every growing second, and the knife kept looming closer, faster than Alexa could pry it away; death was waiting at bay when all of a sudden the now steep descent of the crashing plane threw the both of them off their feet and towards the flaming hole that lead lead to a thousand foot fall into the rocky cliffs below. There wasn't any time to think about next actions; she held her arms out while being propelled down the hull of the plane, in a dire attempt to catch something that could postpone the long freefall, and managed to grab onto one of rails on the boat, which hung out the back of the plumetting aircraft and provided a good view of the crashsite sitting now just a few hundred feet below. It was close to a house, sitting on a lone penninsula. She braced herself for the crash, waiting for the right moment to hop out and hopefully live to tell the tale. Once the plane came close enough to the ground for tree trunks, she took her chances and threw heself out the back, and aiming for the softest spot that there was while the plane smashed into the ground with the loudest 'bang' she had heard in a long time.

| ((*whistles*, i guess someone should go first..)) the car went flying. the flames engulfed the house, engulfed the surrounding woodland, and engulfed Heather. Ivon sat screaming looking back at the inferno as the car shot up into the air and flew over the trees at a suprising speed. it felt like hours. hours floating in the air with heathers car. the last thing Ivon saw was heather running towards the forest and then his ears popped and he couldnt see and.... the car landed in a tree and Ivon was thrown out. he hit the ground and laid there for a couple of minutes before standing up. he was lost. well and truly lost without a phone, food, heather, the car was in a tree and his stick was hanging in its holster a phew meters up from the tree opposite the car. the small circular clearing was dark from the shadow of the forest and he couldnt see anything upwards.. Ivon sat down and waited.

Heather is about to get inside but Edin and Michael come running, gunshots whizzing past them and they get in and drive. Now that the car sort of exploded and is in the trees, not really possible xD Plus that would just draw lots attention from more people. )) | 2011-11-08 15:45:00 Author: Dragonvarsity Posts: 5208 |

| ((@nerz: Wait, the car burst into flames right as the plane crashed? Or do you mean getting attention?

| Rico managed to find his car after searching the streets for minutes. He entered it and set the location to the HQ, where the commander had told him he was going to interrogate Zim. The plane had left a trail of smoke through the sky, heading towards the north side of the city. He couldn't see it in the sky anywhere. - Great, it's been two days and we went through two plane crashes already! He set off towards the HQ. ------------------------ Rico approached the front gate, four armed soldiers were protecting it. - I'm sorry, but you cannot pass! - What? I'm a high-ranking agent from SSO! - What do you want here then? - I wish to talk to TheZimInvader. - She's busy. Now get out of here before I have to arrest you! Disappointed, Rico took a U-turn and drove back towards the city, but he knew something wasn't right. He stopped on the side of the empty road and decided to go back. Simply waltzing inside the place was out of the question, so he had to be subtle. Which as a matter of fact was his best skill. He took a small dirt road that lead to the wall that surrounded the HQ, away from security. He parked the car facing the exit, then dialed Isaac: - Hello? - Rico again. I'm right in front of the HQ. - And... - They won't give me access inside. I'm going to sneak in. - What? Are you *****ing crazy??? - There's something deeply wrong in there, and I need to do something about it! Are you coming too? | 2011-11-09 16:48:00 Author: gdn001 Posts: 5891 |

| (( im confused whats happening next?? :s )) ((What seems to be Nintendo people tried breaking into where Edin and Michael were, looking for Michael, so Michael and Edin escaped, going through the woods. Heather searched through home, only to hide when a mysterious person passed through, Ivon hid the car before the person came out somehow, and Heather gets back in, only to hear yelling and gunshots which is Edin and Michael, running towards them. Rico, Alexa, and some other people tracked down Blackout soldiers, got in a boat for an uber chase. Rico and Alexa got caught in the plane that was trying to fly off, but they were able to escape, although I'm pretty sure they were separated. Isaac awoke to a large fire in the house near him, with some old dude who could possibly have some sort of evidence of the person who delivered the package to Isaac. Rico called Isaac, who is on his way, but not with his car, as the area in the neighborhood was blocked with trucks. Rhym, Ziggy, Gecko, Jak and Dynamo find some guys who pointed guns, thinking they were someone else, and apparently something's going on, guess they'll be talking soon. Oh, and Jack's running around in circles while this is all happening..... (As far as next goes, you can look at my conversation with gdn, that'll tell about Rico and Isaac at least) Anyway though, another post form me is on it's way, will either edit it here or make a new post, depending on if someone else posts before I finish mine)) | 2011-11-09 17:15:00 Author: Dragonvarsity Posts: 5208 |

| ((@butter: Well, at least Isaac, Rico and Ziggy will be on their way to New Natal later, but I can have Heather and Ivon stay back at Sao Paulo, seeing as your own your way there right now. Anyway, here's my post)) Rico: "There's something deeply wrong in there, and I need to do something about it! Are you coming too? " Isaac: "Yeah, I'm just outside of the neighborhood" Rico: "Okay, well be quick." Isaac: "Well......the street is covered with cars and trucks, I was blocked in, so I couldn't get in my car..." Rico: "For one measley fire?" Isaac: "Two. Measley fires. Although the other house is further down and has a portion of the top blown off" Rico: "Why the other house?" Isaac: "I'm not sure, but I'm on my way" Rico: "Wait, don't just go right through, there's a secret path around, I'll send you a highlighted path of the District Map" The call ended, Isaac continued jogging near the road, and his phone made a weird sound. He picked it up while walking and an image of a map for a portion of Sao Paulo map. He saw the highlight, and went to start that trail. After walking out of the neighborhood, across the street, making his way into the buzzing highway, he got out of where all the attention had been sparking for the unveiling of some secret thing, but Isaac ignored it. He found where the trail began, on this narrow brick road, bushes all around. It looked like it was the tiniest bit of some giant courtyard. He got out of there and found himself by the street again. He passed by, and got his flashlight out, being able to barely see things in this darkness. He walked on the other side of the street, walked around to the left, and continued walking. A little while later, Isasac looked back again, as he had been repeatedly, to his phone, showing the map. He zig-zagged around some, and texted Rico. He got a response, saying that there was a door around to the side, where Rico would let him in. Isaac went inside, and found Rico there. Isaac: "Hey, so, where's this Zim?" Rico: "It's weird, I can't find her, or the commander." Isaac: "Did the commander tell you where they were going to be?" Rico: "No, I haven't gotten any mail, texts, calls, or anything from him, doesn't seem ri-" Isaac: "Wait, did you hear that?" Rico: "What?" Isaac lied down on the floor, and pressed his ear to the ground, and could somewhat-barely hear yelling. Isaac: "Downstairs, is there a way there?" Rico: "Not that I could find, what's wrong?" | 2011-11-09 18:04:00 Author: Dragonvarsity Posts: 5208 |
| The crash site was taken out of a nightmare. The agonizing sound of people screaming for their loved ones echoed all around her, giving the air a haunted quality. Ziggy could barely breathe from the nauseous scent of burning gasoline emitted from the wreckage; it was so thick that she could feel it gradually filling her chest and poisoning her lungs. Paramedics occaisionally crossed her line of sight, holding stretchers on which the many casualties lay, all motionless and devoid of life. Cameramen and reporters gathered in large clusters, verbally assaulting who ever walked past for answers. And at that very moment, that just happened to be them. "It's rumoured that despite the Nintendo emblem on the plane, a mysterious agency called Blackout are behind this tragedy. Is this true?" A blonde haired woman thrust her microphone in front of Jak's face, her name tag stated that she was called Chloe. "Let me guess, everyone else who you asked has said that Blackout doesn't exist?" He was unflustered and calm. Exactly the opposite of how Ziggy would have reacted. "So what is the truth?" She leant in further, eager for the story. "I'm not allowed to tell you that..." Jak tried to shy away but Chloe was having none of it. "But why keep the public from the truth? How is that in any way right?" Emotional blackmail, fantastic, just what they needed. "Okay, okay. I've got to get this off my back. Blackout does exist." Everyone gasped. "I'm sorry but we can't say any-" Ziggy tried to get in edgeways to stop Jak from revealing everything on one of the most watched and more importantly, most influential news networks in all existence but she was rudely interrupted. "No, I'm sorry; but I have to make this clear... Blackout is the codename we've given the Nintendo squad which hi-jacked the plane. There's no faction called Blackout and there never has been. This is a publicity stunt by Nintendo to make people feel sorry for them." "What about Ascension?" Jak looked at them blankly, like he hadn't even heard the word before, let alone the faction itself. "There is no Ascension. If I told you that there was a terrorist group called, I dunno, Irridescence, would you believe me? No. Your source was obviously deluded." But he defdinately knew that Ascension was real, they had been in a meeting earlier that month to discuss the dangers they posed to Sony... "Rico Martinez?" "Total nutjob that one. I went on an operation with him one time. Went mental, thought he saw that GDN guy and ***** near destroyed the whole fireteam trying to get to him. Blew our cover over a frikking hallucination." Only at this point did she truly realise that Jak was making the whole thing up as he went along. And if it took her this long to figure it out, then someone he hadn't ever met before would never catch on... "So GDN isn't alive?" "I don't know. I can't say what I don't know, can I?" "Indeed you can't. Thanks for your time soldier." "No problem. Glad to help." "Jak... You're a genius. Still, I don't feel Rico will feel too happy about you insulting him live on air." Their commanding officer spoke to him like a true equal. "Number one: I'm no genius, I'm just a very, very good liar. Number two: I don't give a crap about Rico." "'It still wasn't the most sensible thing to do. But if that distracts the public for a little while from the whole "Blackout did it!" thing, then I guess it's for the greater good." Their sergeant clapped him on the back in admiration, something she had never seen him do before. "What's our plan of action then?" "I don't think that we can get revenge on Blackout yet, we don't know exactly who or where they are exactly. It'd be like wrestling with fog. Invisible fog." "So? What now?" "We use the situation to our advantage. By the public's knowledge, Nintendo are the criminals here and we're the victims. So, if we can maybe launch an attack on another faction; specifically a well known faction, then we can make Nintendo feel alienated and alone." "Holy crap, you are referring to who I think you are?" "If you were thinking Microsoft, then yes." "But, if we do that, then Nintendo will become our enemies." "Not quite. For one, they won't know who did it in the first place. And if we do it convincingly, there won't be a Nintendo left to fight back against us when they do finally figure it out." "I still don't think we can carry this off." That was a hundred percent wrong. she knew that they woldn't be able to carry it off. "Not we. You." "You want us to-" "Walk in with a bomb shaped like a Bob-Omb and blow the place to Karkand and back. Yeah. That." "Are you sure? That'll kill so many innocent civillians." "Blackout didn't think about that when they kamikazied that plane into our city." "But..." Ziggy tried to find a clever retort at this point but she couldn't think of anything. "You've got to learn that collateral damage is part of the job. Until you can accept that, you won't advance any more through the ranks." "Sarge, I don't think that you get it. I don't want to advance through the ranks. I want to save lives and fight for a world without war." She had had enough of trying to find something smart to say, all she wanted to do at the moment was to tell the honest truth. "And unless we can end this without backing down, there will still be people dying every day, and every single day until we do." "We can't stop death and we can't stop collateral damage. I know that. I just think that it should be for a good cause, not to simply improve the sales of a pointless games console." "Calling the PS3 a "pointless games console" is an offense of treason." He stopped walking, his fists clenched in anger. "Treason to who? Some dam suitcase w*nkers who don't even care if we live or die? And why are we fighting over video games? Why not Yello-ray players or xPods?" "You and your theoretical questions... Why can't you accept that this is how it is and how it always will be?" "I ain't a labrador retriever, I can think for myself." At this point Ziggy noticed that they were directly behind the plane and no-one was watching them arguing. "We don't pay you to think for yourself. We pay you to follow the orders we give you and shut the hell up!" "Well, maybe I'm in the wrong profession." At this point Ziggy started to feel edgy about being far away from any other people, any other sign of life. "Maybe you are." "So that's it; we have to go in and kill thousands of people and just walk out like nothing happened?" "Yeah. You do." The sergeant's voice was now cold and disinterested, ruthless even. "And I have no choice in the matter?" "No. You don't." "What if I walk away now? What will you do then?" "Walk away? You aren't walking away." Before she could twist away his pistol was now resting on her forehead. She froze in shock. "Point that gun away from my head." Ziggy tried to make her voice sound authorative but it didn't come out how she had intended; the sentence slightly wavering and unsure. "If you say so." As soon as their commanding officer smirked creepily, she knew something was definitely wrong. He did as he was ordered to and aimed the SIG Sauer somewhere else... at Ziggy's right foot. He fired. "AAAAGGGRRRGGHHHH!" Thick maroon liquid was gushing out of the hole the bullet had created and soon she was rocking back and forth in pure agony. "I don't make empty threats." If she would have looked up, she would have noted how his eyes looked emotionless and robotic, almost like they were made of glass. "That hurts..." Then Ziggy did something no-one expected her to do. Stood up, stared him in the eye and continued to challenge her sergeant. "So; what if I limp away? What will you do then?" She spread her arms out wide mockingly. "Do you really want to know?" He pushed her over roughly and pointed the gun towards her left foot menacingly. "Rhetorical question." She backed down and sat nursing her foot gently, a defeated expression across her face. "So you'll go ahead with it?" "I don't exactly have a choice do I?" "Good." He threw a (rather heavy) messenger bag full of medical supplies onto her foot (rather painfully) and strolled away casually. Ziggy swore as the intense pain rocketed up her leg, making her bite her already sore tongue. Her commander yelled back tauntingly "Don't say I never do anything for you.". | 2011-11-09 23:11:00 Author: abyssalassassin Posts: 717 |
| Alex Had reached San paulo and is looking for someone helpful , he pulls out a flashlight and scans the floor for anything , he spots a small trail and starts to follow it "why would someone have something this easy to spot out in the open" he said to himself , As he is walking down the path he thinks to himself about all that has happened to him in the last week , he was given a special mission by his superior , He has witnessed a Plane crash and he has betrayed his faction and is now in san paulo, only a couple of miles away from Sony HQ. He noticed that his was was coming to a close as the path was thinning, for a second he thought he saw a bulding....wait , yeah he did see a building he starts to jog in its direction untill he is within a couple of hundred feet of it , he hears two voices , one sounds familiar , like an old friend, Alex listens to there coversation "It's weird, I can't find her, or the commander." says the first "Did the commander tell you where they were going to be?" says the second ""No, I haven't gotten any mail, texts, calls, or anything from him, doesn't seem ri-" "Wait, did you hear that?" Alex hits the floor as he thinks he has been noticed , he draws his gun and slowly crawls towards the house. ((Uh....oh )And Dragon...aren't I doing anything intresting ) | 2011-11-10 19:17:00 Author: butter-kicker Posts: 1061 |
| Rico looks around, pretending to be looking for a solution. He noticed a large vent opening on the floor, where the screams seemed to come from. - There! Help me unscrew the lid! They got it off and crawled inside, trying to follow the noises. - Thank God I'm not claustrophobic... - Wait, I think I recognize those screams... They're coming from over there! They kept crawling, Rico went over an opening to a room right below but Isaac stopped at it. - What are you waiting for? - Check it out! This guy is talking about you on the news! There were two soldiers watching a small TV in the room, the volume was just high enough for Rico to hear: - "Went mental, thought he saw that GDN guy and ***** near destroyed the whole fireteam trying to get to him. Blew our cover over a frikking hallucination..." - Oh that is so not true!!! - Well, that's what he's saying... - Anyway, I'll have to take care of him later. Back to the business at hand. They continued their path to a dead end. The screams were getting closer. There was a seemingly empty corridor below them, so they got out of the vents and after the source of the noise. - Remember that we don't really have permission to wander through here, so try to keep subtle... His sentence was cut by the sound of someone hitting the ground behind them. Rico and Isaac turned around with their guns pointed, just to find someone lying on the ground in front of them. - Owww... I think I should've been more careful with this one... - So much for our subtle plan... - Wait, I remember you... You're that Microsoft guy that crashed near the plane wreckage! - Yes, I... Oh, it's you again. What are you doing here? - What are you doing here? - I asked first! - Well... You remember that girl that was with me? I'm after her. Your turn. | 2011-11-10 20:12:00 Author: gdn001 Posts: 5891 |
| Alex lied there....his mouth Was dry, what girl? is the only thing he cold thinkso he said it, "what girl?" "Dont mess with me, you know who she was, Dont You!!!" "why would i know?" "Because people like you dont just show up" "look..." Alex stood up and was on his feet but the strangers still had there guns pointed at him "I dont know who she was, i haven't seen her since the plane crash , thanks for that by the way...Rico?" "Yeah my name is Rico" "good" Alex threw himself at Rico , but Rico was too quick and delivered a Crunching kick to the kidneys, Alex fell to floor , retching violentley "Hand over your weapon" Rico Demanded Alex did so, "now help us or die" "what am i supposed to do" Give us every single piece of knowledge you have!" "Ok . first things first , my name is Alex , Alex Hawkins" The boy with Rico gave Alex a shocked look ((Your turn GDN)) | 2011-11-10 21:14:00 Author: butter-kicker Posts: 1061 |

| Edin's ears were ringing and he was disoriented. One minute he was in his own beautiful home, asking Michael questions about who he was, and the next bullets were whizzing by his head and he was on the ground and now being dragged out of his house. He was punched by Michael twice and there was dry blood on his lip. He looked up and saw Michael who was somehow, someway, dragging him through a forest. Imagine that! A blind person was dragging Edin, who wasn't blind. But Edin was too confused to do anything about it. What was going on? Why did they destroy Edin's house? Edin was starting to regret saving Michael. Whoever he was, he was wanted by a lot of people and Edin didn't want any of it. Edin began to gain strength and was about to straighten himself up when the ground began to shake and he heard the loudest sound ever. He looked to his left and noticed a **** plane had crashed into the trees next to them. "What the!? This has to be the apocalypse right? People attacking my home, planes crashing into cities and now near my house? Why God why!? What did I do?" Edin yelled. And if that wasn't enough, Edin and Michael were being shot at again. Edin couldn't help it, he began screaming and saying words he was glad his mother would never hear. Edin looked ahead and saw a women next to a car and told Michael which way to head. Michael nodded his head, confirming that he heard Edin and began heading towards the car. | 2011-11-11 04:02:00 Author: Whalio Cappuccino Posts: 5250 |
| ((Who you callin' boy? )) Isaac: "Rico says you witnessed the plane crashing down, and that the wing had hit your truck. This is true?" Alex: "Yes., it had killed the driver as well, after that though, everything blacked out." Rico: "Is there anything you might've seen before it all blacked out? Anything else out of the ordinary, besides the crashing plane?" Alex: "Well, I can't exactly remember but, it looked like something was sticking out, slowly falling down, and then hidden by the trees. Looked like it could've been some sort of parachute, or...something. It was far away, and already down far." Isaac: "So, it's possible the pilot, or someone, could've escaped in time, someone important possibly. This wasn't just some cheap kamikaze attempt." Rico looked over toward a door, which must've eventually lead to where those guards had been at. Rico: "We better make a move on finding Zim. Try making yourself useful Alex, otherwise, your just another body to carry around." | 2011-11-11 04:10:00 Author: Dragonvarsity Posts: 5208 |

Try tog et around guards and all, throw in bits and pieces of some secret plan if you want that they happen to hear, or, whatever. Find zim, somehow guards notice we're there, storm out, and use some sort of vehicle.)) | 2011-11-11 17:12:00 Author: Dragonvarsity Posts: 5208 |
| Alex , Rico and Issac Continued to walk down the corridor , approaching the screams , however when they were nearly there they came across a dilemma... - Which path Rico? - I dont know Issac but were going to have go down one - Well what do you two think is the most likely way Alex pointed at both paths , - The One with arrow saying interrogation or the other one with an arrow saying Canteen - no need to be sarcastic Alex Issac then proceeded to walk down the Interrogation path , Rico soon followed and then finnaly followed by Alex - Wait did you guys say Zim - yeah , whats her name to you - Nothing really Issac but her name does remind me of someone I used to know when i was young - Listen Alex , me and Issac dont have time for your backstories , were trying to be professional for christs sake! Alex whispers under his breath - talk to me about being professional The three eventually reached a big door with the words "Interrogation room 001" The screams seem to have got quieter , predictably the door was locked , with a step back Rico launched his foot at the door ((this is getting exciting)) | 2011-11-11 18:06:00 Author: butter-kicker Posts: 1061 |
| ((Hell yeah! But I think we should wait for Abyssal...)) Rico entered the room followed by the others. He looked forward and saw Zim strapped to a chair, her head down and her breath, agitated. - Zim! He got hit on the face by the butt of a gun coming from the side, two soldiers appeared from behind them and grabbed Isaac and Alex. Rico looked up, only to see the commander pointing the gun at him. - Hello again, Rico Martinez... - You... What's the meaning of this? - Well, your friend here started to get smart, so we had to toughen up things... - You b*stard... - And what about you? I thought I told you to stay out of this... - What for? So you could torture her in peace? - Face it, agent, you and her know too many things... So we have to cut you loose... With that phrase, the commander loaded one bullet on his gun, pointed it at Rico's head and was about to pull the trigger, when he punched the gun out of his hand and hit him in the nose, making him fall to the floor. Alex and Isaac broke free from their captors and hit them with their own weapons. Rico proceeded to unstrap Zim. - Are you alright? - *cough* What do you *****ing think? - Well, at least you can stand up, ok? - I can try... *cough* The commander was getting back up, so Isaac told them to hurry. Rico helped Zim out of the room while Alex closed the door, hitting the commander's face as he was about to exit the room. He yelled "sound the alarms" while they ran. | 2011-11-11 18:25:00 Author: gdn001 Posts: 5891 |
| ((Wow no-one is posting Recentley)) The four ran for there lives as the alarms sounded and men were pouring out of rooms behind them , bullets shot past them and one grazed Issac's cheek , they didn't think , they just turned and ran towards the corridor with "Garage" written above it , when nearing it Zim was bitten by a bullet in the thigh , Rico Quickly chucked her over his shoulder and ran as fast as someone could with a person chucked over there shoulder , by now Alex and Issac were Firing there guns at the enemy. Alex Screams.... - ISSAC! get into the Garage and start a jeep - All I can see is a pickup Truck. - that will have to do for now! Issac soon got into the truck and started it , Rico chucked Zim into the back , Alex was still covering them , Rico soon joined to help. - Alex , get into the back of the truck and tend to Zim - Ok Alex threw himslef into the back of the pickup truck and tended to Zim, as he did Issac started to Drive off , Rico only noticed afterwards and had to run for his life. - Rico jump for it! Rico dived for it... - GRAB ME! Alex reached out and grabbed a handful of Rico's collar , then pulled him up to safety , all 4 of them was exhausted and Rico put his hand on Alex's shoulder - thanks | 2011-11-13 10:55:00 Author: butter-kicker Posts: 1061 |

| The flames of the crash gew higher every second, along with the pain of the impact when Alexa slammed into the roof and then to the ground. She ignored the array of troopers that were running to investigate the crash while trying to feel if her spine was still in place. Satisfied that she was still able to operate, Alexa pulled out her knife and started limping towards a piece of wreckage to take cover from a few more of the aproaching men, with the darkness of the night keeping them more alert. Once they were out of her line of sight she started to move further away from the house and closer to the sound of gunfire, where one of the guards was taking a smoke break. Alexa approached him from behind and impaled him right through the neck with her now bloodstained weapon, and took the man's sawed off, as well as a small bandolier of shells. As she loaded her new weapon, she looked off as far as she could see at what looked to be a damaged car, with 4 individuals hiding behind it being shot at. Seeing no other options, she stayed below the line of fire and moved as fast as her damaged legs could take her.

| ((If anyone wants to take it from here that would be nice. I nominate DV.)) ((Thanks, and sorry for the delay. I would've finished sooner if computer didn't mess up and erase everything..)) Heather could barely here, yelling, running...something in the distance. Heather: "Do you hear that?" Ivon: "Hear what?" Heather: "Behind the car." Ivon: "There's something behind t-" Heather: "No, get behind the car quick!" The two got behind the car, still looking out from behind, and now Ivon could hear yelling from far away. It was getting closer. A bullet whizzed by Heather's head and she ducked. Another bullet was shot that came by. 2. Another, and then another. Some passing by Heather and Ivon, some just hitting the car they were hiding behind. The yelling got louder, and when Heather got up just enough to see beyond the car, she could now barely make out 2 figures, still far away, and some trees around them. They were running forward, and she could hear someone screaming, and in and out, yelling directions.. Edin: "LEFT!" Edin: "DUCK!" Edin: "LEFT, NO WAIT RIGHT! Sorry." They got closer and closer. Heather opened the passenger door, crawled over the seat and got in the driver's seat. Ivon then got into the passenger's seat, and shut the door. Heather got the engine running. Heather could now see that the one screaming was also partially being dragged, yet still trying to run and balance himself. What shocked Heather and Ivon though was that the one dragging him was blindfolded! That would explain why the other one had been yelling out directions. They ran right up to the car and Edin yelled stop and to let go. Edin went quickly into the car and helped Michael in as well. Ivon: "Wait, what the heck's going on? Why are there people shooting at us, and better yet, who the heck are you?" Michael: "Drive." Heather was trying to get the car working but it was jamming. Ivon: "How do we not know once we get where we need to, you'll pull the trigger on both of us?" Michael: "Drive." Ivon: "Well, you made that clear earlier..." The car finally started running and Heather pushed her foot against the pedal, driving forward but then swerving around te house she had investigated, everyone else trying to hang onto something. ~Over somewhere else~ Some person: "He 's gone, he can't get away!" Alexa could barely hear someone yelling, and whether or not they were after her, they soon would be at least. She saw a car in the distance and started running towards it, only to see it drive right off, swerving around a house nearby. Alexa: "NO, come back!" Alexa ran as fast as she could, moving around the house, only to spot a shortcut around through the forest. She ran past the trees, getting onto the path where Heather and the rest had turned to. Alexa got right in the way suddenly, with Heather slamming her breaks down. Alexa: "Got room for another person?" | 2011-11-16 22:57:00 Author: Dragonvarsity Posts: 5208 |

| Rhym wondered why the front of his car was on fire. He had been driving for so long without stopping, it took him a few seconds to remember that this was a bad thing. So he did what any sensible person would do when the car started to be engulfed in an inferno. He opened the door and jumped. Without taking off his seatbelt. This was a good thing since there had been a pole right there. Another good thing from being stuck inside for a few more seconds is that he remembered to grab his things. I'm going to have to be more careful from now on. Can't be wandering around on my own without any protection. Especially when I have Sony and Blackout chasing me. "Well... So much for my ride." So, with nothing better to do, Rhym started walking. As he walked, he pulled out that piece of paper again. He still couldn't figure out what it was. It looked like an N, but Rhym wasn't sure. Man... I had a breakdown in the worst possible place... Didn't I? Rhym was in the middle of a desert. No water or food in sight. He started wishing in vain that a car would appear. As if the world was listening to him, Rhym saw a pair of headlights on the horizon. Rhym was overjoyed at the fact that he could get a ride. That was, until he saw that this was a black van. With the Blackout emblem on the side. Rhym ran off the road and into the desert. This didn't stop the van. As Rhym looked back, he saw that the van had just plowed through the few bushes and was rushing for him. For the second time within an hour, Rhym's life was being threatened by a car. He knew he couldn't outrun them. And the rifle he carried wasn't loaded. Rhym cursed himself for being so unprepared. He decided his best chance was to let the men pull up and try to take him. So he stopped and just stared at the van. When the door opened, Rhym caught his breath. This was not who he was expecting to see. "So how are you, old friend?" questioned Sigil, Rhym's friend from home. He had disappeared when they were both 15. Rhym thought one of the gangs had taken him. "Sigil! What happened to you? And how did you get this van?" asked Rhym. "You think you're the only one who ran away? I've been on the road as a mercenary for the past 2 years. You should learn not to walk through the middle of the desert by yourself, Rhym. It's quite dangerous out here." "You didn't answer my question," stated Rhym. "I stole it. I worked for Blackout for a few weeks. When some guys broke out of their cells yesterday, I ran. You know I won't die for randoms." Sigil looked better than Rhym thought he would. He was well fed. His clothes weren't ripped like Rhym's. And he didn't seem to have any troubles in the world. "So what's new with you, Rhym?" ((Wow... It's been a long time since my last post... o.O About time I got back to this... But my character hasn't really been needed since I'm not connected to anybody right now. By the way, Ziggy, I'm still headed over to Nintendo. Sigil is the person who is going to recommend going there.)) | 2011-11-17 03:22:00 Author: Speedynutty68 Posts: 1614 |

| "Are you sure you're okay?" "I've got a bullet in my foot, I never said I was okay. But I'll live... I think." "I should go after him and teach him a lesson... Can't you take it out?" "This sort of operation would need the patient to be aneasthetised. I can't operate on myself if I'm asleep can I?" "Nah, I guess you can't. Shouldn't you just go to hospital?" "Seriously? With that many injured people from the blast first in line? It'd take days to get it even looked at, let alone operated on." "Well, we might as well try to do something about it. There's an ambulance over there, I'll go over and try to steal some arm resty things." "Arm resty things?" "If I had a computer with internet access, I'd search it up." "There's a internet cafe down the road." "The one with the a frikking plane wing sticking through the window? Don't think so." "Right. Didn't notice that." "Should have gone to Specsavers..." "I would have, but the ceiling caved in. Not happening." "Sigh. No more jokes. Please. Otherwise I'll shoot myself in the foot. Anyway, can you walk thirty metres?" "Walk? No. Hobble? I'll try..." Jak offered her a hand but Ziggy gestured that she was fine. She warily hauled herself to her feet, grunting in intense discomfort as the pain kicked in. she began to limp, dragging her right foot along the floor clumsily. The squad turned the corner and thankfully, found the area deserted and the ambulance doors wide open. Jak vaulted inside and began to rifle through the shelves contents. "Lemme see... Not here, not there. Or there either... where do they put these things..." "Um, guys?" "Hang on, hang on, I know, Gecko. We're at risk of death?" "Pretty much." "What the hell do you think you're doi-" A guy in his early thirties with light brown skin and walnut coloured eyes strolled up to them with unflinching menace embedded deep inside his eyes. Jak carried on searching regardless. "They should be here... Gotcha!" Jak threw a pair of the "arm resty things" towards Ziggy, who caught them swiftly and swung the set so forcefully that they hit the speaker round the face and knocked him clean out. "Home run!" "And here come the cavalry..." Five paramedics were bolting towards them at full speed. And they were all carrying guns. "What do we-" "GET IN!" Jak didn't give her a second's notice as he grabbed the back of her collar and hurled her inside the ambulance headfirst; slamming the doors shut with an almighty bang, popping their eardrums harshly. Dynamo jumped inside the passenger seat and hotwired the engine. Gecko got in the left-most seat and pummelled his foot down onto the acceleration pedal. They were speeding through the tight city alleyways in seconds. "THIS IS WHY I USUALLY DRIVE! Oh, um, hey..." She had just noticed that there was another person in the back, lying unconscious on a stretcher. "Can you hear me?" No response. Apart from the monitor connected to his heart, which was bleeping like it was about to explode any second. "Why do I always have to get the guy having a cardiac arrest? Jak, defibs!" "Where are th-" "In my bag." "Kay... Here you go." He passed the defibrillators over to her; she began to press them against the mystery guy's heart and try to shock him into consciousness. It didn't work. She tried again. And again. Nothing happenned. "It's no use!" "I think we have bigger problems..." Jak shook her shoulder roughly but she didn't respond. He continued to annoy her until she eventually snapped back. "What is it?" "Look out the back doors and see for your-" She did just that. And wished she hadn't. They were now on the much smoother highway but Ziggy knew things were going to get rocky from here on out. Probably due to the sheer scale of the convoy pursuing the ambulance. And the guy with an RPG lying on top of the penultimate jeep. That too. "Why are they chasing us?" She stared blankly at Jak, who shrugged nonchalantly. "I dunno." "Is that all you can-" "DUCK!" Ziggy threw herself to the floor and rolled to escape the magazine unraveling itself with fury. A bullet skimmed the side of her face and she swore under her breath visciously. "Jak, don't you recognise the woman driving the front car?" "No, I don't. Excuse me for saying so, but I was looking at him near the back with a frikking RPG!" "It's that woman from the forest hideout. The one who tried to kill Gecko." "I can't see the resembla-" She interrupted, patience eradicated. "Trust me. It's her." "I want proof. I doubt they'd have hijacked an entire Sony vehicle squad without reason or extreme difficulty." "Look down." He did as he was instructed to. "What do you notice?" "Apart from a guy almost five foot under?" "Look closer. Look at his wrists." "I'm sort of in a tight spot here... FINE!" He glanced down for a second time. "Why did you handcuff him to the stretcher?" "I didn't do anything. That proof enough for you?" "Yeah, yeah. It sure is. Why do Blackout want him though?" "Guess we'll have to figure that! He's going into S.C.A again!" "Talk English." "He's having a heart attack." "Oh. Right. And I care because?" "He might be extremely vital to the overall outcome of the war?" "Again. English." "If we don't let him die, then we all have a bigger chance of not dying later on." "And you know this for sure?" "No, I don't know for su- Yes. Yes I do... D*mmit, close the doors before we all get torn to pieces!" He complied with the order grudgingly. "Aren't I supposed to be the highest rank? The one who tells everyone what they need to do?" "I don't care about rank. I care about survival. Also, you're probably in the midst of a superiority complex." "What does that even-" At that precise moment, the machine guns chose to completely rip both doors grotesquely off their hinges."AARRGGHH!!! Gecko! Drive faster!" "What the hell do you think I'm doing now, 10 miles per hour?" "Watch out for that-" Too late. The split second Gecko looked around was enough. They flew off the overpass and life seemed to pause for a few torturous seconds. But someone somewhere had chosen to resume the balance of time and once again they were falling, falling, falling... The impact was unreal, throwing Jak and Ziggy backwards onto the cool steel floor. Ziggy could already feel the telltale signs of whiplash coarsing through her body. And ***** it hurt. Nobody noticed as the monitor attached to the man having a heart attack went absolutely mental. Slowly, the frantic beeping coalesced into a agonizing high pitched whine. This finally caught their attention. The two soldiers looked at each other solemnly as they began to take in the fact that their only chance of figuring out what Blackout was truly after was now on his way to heaven. The silence seemed to consume the fireteam whole and swallow them in a huge gulp. Out of nowhere; the mobile stuffed deep inside Jak's pocket broke the invisible crescendo and began to vibrate violently. He picked it up instantaneously and was greeted by the extremely furious voice of Rico Martinez, comparable to a pitbull straining at the lead to maul his face off. "Why the did you just do that?" The reverberating tones of the Brazilian seemed to shred his eardum apart and Jak extended his arm tentatively so that the device was held at arms reach. "Ah. So you saw?" "Yeah; I ***** well saw that little stunt you pulled back there. You have a lot of explaining to do kid." "Do you actually have anything important to say to me or did you just call me to gripe about something that didn't even matter in the first place?" "No, there's nothing." The tone of his voice had changed at a rapidly fast rate and he now sounded a lot more relaxed. And a lot more manipulative. "What do you want Rico?" "Okay, okay. There is a little something I need doing..." "When you say little?" "Huge." "Good to know that you've retained your brilliant honesty." "Good to know that you've retained your brilliant stupidity." | 2011-11-20 00:02:00 Author: abyssalassassin Posts: 717 |

| Jason continued to wait in the chair, now on the verge of passing out after another hour of sitting there. He realized that he should feel lucky he managed to get Erin to the hospital in the first place, but hearing nothing from anyone else he felt somewhat guilty, like there was something he could have done to save Erin, or stop the boat from getting out of the docks. Just as he sarted to close his eyes and relax, a ring came from the side table behind him. He picked up the cell phone and looked at the caller ID, which read "Unknown" Reluctantly he put the phone up to his ear where he was immediately greeted by an impatient Alexa. "Jason, where are you?" "Hospital with Erin." "Where's Zak?" "No idea." "Then we've got a problem. I think i've got a broken ankle, I don't know where I am and there's probably more Blackout chasing us." "Definitely chasing us." "Hold up a second, call incoming." "Wha-" Eve's more calm voice replaced Alexa's stressed out one with a click. "Jason, where's Alexa?" "Somewhere outside the city I think, no way she could've gotten far." "Alright, i'll tell Zak, he's out there searching right now." He ended the call and went back on with Alexa, but all that was heard was gunfire and yelling. --------------------------------- "SH** LEFT SIDE NOW, HEATHER, RAM HIM!" "Kinda hard when your car is smaller than theirs! And you don't really need to yell, this is a calm environment." "Yes, let's all be kind and courteous in a combat scenario." "See?" Edin interrupted, "Now you're seeing it from my perspective." Alexa rolled her eyes and continued shooting at the other trucks with her new found weapon as the convoy merged onto the less than crowded highway, impatiently waiting for Zak's falcon to arrive on the scene as the pain in her leg grew greater, along with the pain in her heaed because of Edin's constant complaining. ((So now someone can continue, and yes, that took a few days, don't judge me.)) | 2011-11-24 02:21:00 Author: Merc Posts: 2135 |
