| "Let's see. I ran away from home. I was taken to jail by Sony then I broke out. Worked my way up a mountain and stumbled across a Sony base. Stole a helicopter and crashed into a forest where Blackout decided to make me one of them. Escaped to a group of Sony agents. Got captured by Blackout again. Broke out with the Sony agents. Got sent back to jail by Sony. Broke out again by blowing open the back wall. Then I stole a car and here I am now," listed off Rhym. Sigil just whistled. Rhym could tell he wasn't expected that answer. "Oh, and I stole this from some artifact we stole from Blackout..." Rhym showed Sigil the piece of paper. "You opened it?!" Sigil sounded amazed. "But nobody has ever been able to open that thing..." "What do you think this symbol means?" "Hmm... It looks like an 'N'... I don't know... We can worry about this later. We might want to get to civilization soon. I didn't bring enough food for more than one person." "Okay. Where were you thinking?" "I was headed to New Natal. I have something I need to do there." "Where's that exactly?" "Texas." "But... That's far away..." "Well, of course we'll stop at a town first. But then we head for New Natal." So that was the plan. They got in Sigil's van and headed toward the nearest town to get stocked up on food for the long trip. -One long car ride later- When they pulled up at the warehouse, they were not prepared to see what was going on. ((Not posting again until you guys get here. So hurry up! D: I've been waiting but you guys have done nothing...! Lol. Whatever. ((So now someone can continue, and yes, that took a few days, don't judge me.)) Consider yourself judged.  )) | 2011-11-25 10:18:00 Author: Speedynutty68  Posts: 1614 |
| ((I don't know what Abyssal wants Rico to ask Jak, so I'll skip that part.)) Rico finished talking on the phone and put it away, Alex was startled by the intense dialogue he had there. - Freaking son of a... - You called the big mouthed idiot? - Well, yes. - What did he say? - That he's an a**hole. Now, if you don't mind, could you tell Isaac to hurry towards the residential district? There's something I need to get in there. Rico proceeded to take care of Zim. She wasn't hurt badly, but she was mostly displeased with the situation. - How ya doing? - Well, let's see, my hideout was attacked, I got tortured by a maniac commander, shot, and now on the back of a pickup truck... How do you think I'm doing? - Good to see you still retained your dry humor... - Well, it's a part of me that you can't take away... Their talk was interrupted by the sound of approaching trucks. About 6 military vehicles surrounded them on the road. - Come on, what are these guys thinking? - STOP THE TRUCK IMMEDIATELY, OR WE WILL OPEN FIRE! The loud commander's voice came from a helicopter above them, over-viewing the chase. - Rico, there are too many of them, I think that we should give up! - Don't you fail on me, soldier! - You are getting reckless, you have to let this go man! - No, you shut up and keep driving! I'm going to see if I can neutralize them! Rico aimed and shot at the truck's tires, trying to pop them. He managed to hit one, making the truck slide across the road an hit another. - WAHOO!!! That's right, idiots! - Rico, I'm going to take the highway, there's way too much traffic in these tiny streets! The truck headed onto the highway, swerving across incoming traffic and being followed by the other trucks and the chopper. - Damm it! You had to pick the wrong lane! - I'm not in a choosing position here, Martinez! - Just try to get onto the right way! As they continued to fend off the pursuers, another car appeared behind them, also being followed by a bunch of trucks. - What the hell is going back there? - Maybe it is hunting season for the military. - No, these aren't Sony trucks... Alex and Rico's talk was interrupted by the typical clicking coming from his gun. Zim applied another dose of her dry humor: - Oh, look, mister, you have no more rounds! - I see that. - What are you going to do now? Pray? - I never was a religious kind of guy. I'm going to do this the hard way! And with that saying, Rico jumped from their truck into another, hitting a soldier on his landing and taking his weapon. He sprayed some bullets at the other trucks as the two chases started to merge. Rico then threw the now empty gun away and jumped onto a small car that was in the middle of the chaos. ------------------------------- - The passengers of the car were surprised by the noise of something hitting the ceiling. Heather ordered Alexa to see what was going on. She was ready to surprise whoever was there, but instead she was the surprised one. - Rico? - Alexa? - Small world... - I know right? What are you doing there? - Enjoying the breeze. Also being chased by the military. - What??? What did you do? - It's a long story... For now, could you stay close to that truck? Alexa told Heather about Rico, which got her surprised too. She headed towards the truck where Isaac and the others were, and Rico jumped back onto it. - Glad to have you back, agent Martinez. - Okay, so, it seems that the residential district is out of question... Tell Isaac to head to the airport instead... Oh, also tell him that Heather is in the car right behind us. ((Merc, last chance to follow us, because on my next post we will be already on our way. Just tell me if you are following or not. It would be good also to hear from Toortle and Whaaaale because their characters are included.)) | 2011-11-25 15:54:00 Author: gdn001 Posts: 5891 |
((Hell Yeah! Party trucks away  ))Rico turned to see all the other trucks still in pursuit. - Mother ********** wont give - Did you really suspect them too Rico? - Well, to be honest no but I didnt expect to be joined by Alexa and her Bunch - Who? - Just a few friends of mine Alex gave a scornfull laugh at the word Friends , Rico was about to say something but a spray of bullets came onto contact with the Trucks back - S***! - Calm Down Alex its only a few bullets - Hey Rico - Yeah - Do you remember that thing you did earlier...you know jumping from truck to truck - Yeah - My turn to Showoff Alex pulled the pin off of a Grenade and threw it straight into the windshield of one of the following military trucks , KABOOM! , he pulled out his knife and hurled it through another trucks right wheels. - Not Bad, Alex , Not bad at all | 2011-11-25 17:26:00 Author: butter-kicker  Posts: 1061 |
| Michael looked calmly around. Besides Edin, all these people were strangers to him, except for Rico who he had heard about a few times. He looked down at his wrist and remembered he needed to buy a watch after this was all over. "Hey? Who's the blindfolded kid? Hostage?", Rico yelled over the chaos. "I dunno, ask the rich boy", Alex responded. Rico, having more important problems, chose to continue firing at the pursuing vehicles. "We're not going to last much longer!", Rico screamed. Michael, being bored of sitting around, calmy rose up and opened one of the van doors, causing everyone except him to hold on for dear life. He held out his hand, unnecessary but extremely dramatic, and clenched his fist. One of the jeeps started erratically swerving, while one of the soldiers in it started shooting at his own men. A moment later, multiple jeeps began crashing into one another, which caused a chain reaction. In a matter of moments nearly all of the vehicles were crashing and burning, and everyone's jaws were open. Michael closed the door and sat back down, not uttering a single world. "Holy ****!", Alex said. "What in the holy lord's name just happened?" "What the-", Heather muttered. "What just happened?!", Rico said, ducking his head back in the van. "He just started shooting at his own men!" "Michael did something I think!", Edin screamed over the commotion. "Who's Michael?", Rico asked. "Blindfold kid I think", Heather answered, interrupting Edin. "Are you Batman?", Ivon asked. Then before Michael could even blink, everyone was firing all kinds of questions at him. Michael, being extremely tired after showing off, ignored all of them before falling asleep, not even a care for the danger he was in. ((Because it wasn't clearly stated, while Michael can do things like that it's extremely difficult for him and he can only do it to a few people at a time before being completely drained. So it's not like I can go willy nilly, skipping through fields of bad guys, dropping them left and right. Plus, some people are immune all together, so it's not an instant win card.)) | 2011-11-25 23:11:00 Author: Testudini  Posts: 3262 |
| "Are you Batman?", Ivon asked. ((This.)) ((Oh, but anyway, sorry if I'm not participating much, not sure how, considering gdn already has plans for New Natal, I mean, I can put in some dialogue, but otherwise, I'm just the driver, same for Heather xP I do want to introduce a few unknown people who uses some plans through the war, but keep themselves a whole lot more secret than Blackout, and wouldn't be nearly as big of the story, soI wouldn't try to make it a distraction, but ya, Merc's thinking about that. I mean...I guess I could show a chipmunk's point of view?)) | 2011-11-25 23:16:00 Author: Dragonvarsity  Posts: 5208 |
| "Are you Batman?", Ivon asked. (( dat right there. dats my character. youve got him just right. WIN )) | 2011-11-26 00:09:00 Author: nerzdadestroyer  Posts: 1527 |
((OOookay, so I guess everybody is going to New Natal then...  Writing megapost.)) | 2011-11-26 00:15:00 Author: gdn001 Posts: 5891 |
| ((OOookay, so I guess everybody is going to New Natal then... Writing megapost.)) ((Hold up a second!)) "Ohgod i have no idea what's going on anymore ohgodohgodohgodohgodohgod-" Her patience now completely dried, Alexa proceeded to punch Edin right in the face, clearly not being the first one to do so. ((I just really wanted to punch someone in the face. Please continue.)) | 2011-11-26 00:29:00 Author: Merc Posts: 2135 |
| They couldn't enjoy the break from the chase for much longer, as the chopper was still after them, and a road block formed ahead of them. - Rico, they are blocking the road! I'm going to take the ramp to the airport! - You do that. Rico ran to the back of the truck and yelled at Heather to try and follow them. The two vehicles headed towards the Afonso Ganso Airport, followed by one remaining truck and the helicopter. The vehicles that formed the roadblock had also started their engines and began making their way after them. --------------------------- - Hey you! Stop right there! Stop! STOP!!! The airport guard couldn't do anything but jump out of the truck's way, leaving the service gate to be crashed by its large size. - Okay Rico, we're at the airport, now what? - Head towards that hangar near the end of the runway. - The one with the large passenger jet (http://www.justcause.pl/images/download/JC2_Aeroliner_474_Scorpion_01.jpg) in it? - You're right! - And you're insane! - Just go! The two vehicles made their way into the hangar, followed from a distance by the military. Rico jumped out of the truck before everyone else and tried to pick up a ladder. - Help me place this by the door. - You mean the plane's door? - No, the car's door. Of course it's the plane's door! Everyone made their way into the plane. Alexa was the last one to enter it. Before closing the door, she looked at the end of the runway, seeing the enemy stopping in the middle of the runway. She kicked the ladder down and closed the door. ---------------------------- In the cockpit, Rico took his place in the pilot's seat and analyzed the flight controls. Zim sat on the chair next to him and looked through the windshield. - I really hope you can hotwire a giant plane as good as you can shoot... - Come on, I didn't become an agent because of my looks... Rico managed to start the plane's turbines. The plane started to move towards the runway, where the trucks had parked. - How are we going to take off now? Rico muttered something to himself, as if he was calculating something, then said: - There's enough room. He put the turbines to full throttle, and the plane started to gain speed and head towards the blockade. The soldiers hesitated, but ran out of the way right before the plane took off over their trucks by a few meters. They tried to shoot at the plane, but the commander ordered them to stop. - How did you know that there was enough room? - Who said that I knew? - You son of a gun! -------------------------------- Without nowhere to go, Rico sent the plane towards the north, Microsoft turf, where the Sony army couldn't follow them. And without any heat, it was the time for them to rest. Zim fell asleep, Michael still hadn't woken up. Alexa and Heather were discussing the chase scene, while Alex and Isaac were questioning Rico's way of dealing with things. - I'm telling you, man, you are taking all of this too seriously! - So, the security of our nations is not to be taken seriously? - That's not what I meant... - What Alex meant is that you are always after the hard way of solving your problems! - Like as there's an easy way... - Listen, if you hadn't gone after Zim, she wouldn't have been almost killed! - That wasn't my fault, god*mmit! - Whatever you say, but keep that in mind. You know what happened to GDN... I'm going to see if our "passengers" are all right. Rico continued to pilot the plane, Alex decided to keep his mouth shut for that moment. --------------------------------- The calm trip was interrupted by a call from the plane's radio. Rico proceeded to answer it. - Falcon 310-HS198 to unknown airplane, you have entered a restrict airspace! Rico looked to the side of the plane to see 3 approaching jet fighters next to the plane. - PY5-RMZ to Falcon, this is just an usual commercial flight, over. - RMZ, your flight is not scheduled in any flight reports. Turn back or we will have to employ our forces. Isaac entered the cockpit, asking Rico what was going on. - Microsoft wants us to turn back. But if we do, the Sony fighters will be waiting! - Have you tried to talk to them? - What do you think? - RMZ, this is your last warning. Turn back now! - What are you going to do? Rico thought for a while, then ordered though the microphone for everyone to strap themselves and banked the plane sideways, taking it off the route. - It's an hostile! Open fire! The large jet plummeted towards the ground in circles, dodging the missiles launched by the fighters. This maneuver woke everyone up. - What is going on??? Flying at a low height, Rico tried to squeeze the plane between two cliffs, followed by three of the fighters. Two missiles were launched, one hitting the wall of the cliff, making large rocks fall from it and forcing the fighters to retreat. Only the jet and one missile remained. Rico tried gaining height, but the missile was already locked into the plane and there was nothing to be done. He yelled at everyone to go to the very back of the plane, while he tried to escape the missile. But it inevitably hit the right turbine, sending the plane down and forcing it to do an emergency landing on a corn field below. -------------------------------- Rico got waken up from unconsciousness by Isaac, who told him to get out of the plane. Everyone jumped out the door and ran as fast as they could before the plane behind exploded in a large ball of fire. - Well, so much for our vacation trip... - Where are we going now? Rico opened his PDA, then told everyone: - We're near a highway. We could head to New Natal. ((Free to post from now on!)) | 2011-11-26 01:03:00 Author: gdn001 Posts: 5891 |
| As Rico was trying to pilot the large plane, everyone else tried getting situated. Heather sat next to Alexa, discussing what had just happened.. Alexa: "Thanks for giving me a ride, why were you there anyway?" Heather: "Ivon and I.. er..." *Heather turned to see him sitting, bored out of his mind, sitting next to a sleeping Michael* Heather: "Apparently Agent Martinez had found someone who had witnessed part of the plane crash, he's actually here now apparently, Alex Hawkins is his name." Alexa: "So, what. You think there might've been something else he saw?" Heather: "I'm not really sure, but right now, anything's good for me. What about you?" Alexa: "Me and my squad dropped down to downtown Sao Paulo, after hearing about the recent plane crash. We spotted what seemed to be Blackout soldiers along the way, and decided to go after. Rico got involved, doing his own research across the streets, and we all went after these people." Heather: "Okay, then how did you get yourself stuck in a forest?" Alexa: "They were trying to get across the lake until their very own flight arrived. So we used a boat aswell. Many bullets and dodging later, Rico and I got ourselves stuck on this Blackout plane. Rico got out first, but as for me, I only got out as it flew through the forest." Heather: "What about your squad then?" Alexa: "..left behind, I guess. Anything you found in that forest?" Heather: "Yeah, a house. Just a meaningless poem, something about a wolf and a hawk, but then someone showed up. I didn't get a good look, but we weren't able to get to him, what with Michael and Edin running at us with bullets galore, you popping up, oh, and those Nintendo Soldiers. Then of course, the yelling from Rico as other trucks appeared." ------------------ The ride was bumpy, moving around, and two jets had approached, sending radio transmissions to Rico through the Plane. During the conversation, a picture Isaac had been holding onto slipped out of his pocket, and then he remembered. Before he could say Rico's name, they were instructed to run to the back. Alex got out of his chair, Isaac's seatbelt stuck. He ripped it off, ran to the back only for a missile to hit somewhat nearby. The ship was going down. Isaac tried climbing up as fast as he could, seat to seat, and he could see Rico, hurling Zim to the back as much as he could before getting out of his own seat and trying to jump away and cling onto some sort of seat. Isaac woke up, smoke starting to spread, fire all over the plot seat, all broken down as well. He looked over and saw most everyone unconscious, except Michael, who of course was awake when just about everyone else wasn't. Isaac stumbled, grabbing Rico's shoulder, and tried waking him up. Rico: *cough* "You okay?" Isaac: "Yeah, you?" Rico: "We... *cough* gotta get of here. " Alexa and Edin then awoke, starting to cough a lot and tried waking up Heather, Alex and Ivon. Isaac: "We need to g- *cough* get out of here!" They all tried getting out of there, some stumbling, some grabbing for the little masks above the seats. They all ran out, only to see the fire spread, from were Rico was piloting, the right turbine, the fire spread all over, into a fiery ball. Edin looked over to Michael. Edin: "So, what is that, two times for you then?" | 2011-11-26 14:51:00 Author: Dragonvarsity Posts: 5208 |
| Rico got everyone together and did a quick headcount, with heathers help. they checked everyone was well enough to walk and started their journey towards New Netal. " so.... we.. we cant go back to your house?" Ivon said confused. Heather sighed and tried to explain again. " Ivon, there are people after us. people who want to-" she stopped and looked at his innocent face. Ivon hadn't done anything wrong. " Ivon, whatever happens. just remember it isnt your fault". " so.... hang on..... whats happening?" " we need to move or those nasty people will take you" " take me where?" Alexa appeared walking beside Heather " they will kill you on site probably, seeing as how your unimportant" " Ivon looked devastated, heather quickly said to him calmly " Ivon, your not- ... your not unimportant to me or Isaac" he looked at her and felt a friendship. a friendship thats like a cousin or an uncle. he felt safe. " i dont think its too far now, but it will be dark soon. we better stop somewhere hidden" Rico said loudly so everyone could hear. (( el continue-o )) | 2011-11-27 00:28:00 Author: nerzdadestroyer Posts: 1527 |
| " i dont think its too far now, but it will be dark soon. we better stop somewhere hidden" Rico said loudly so everyone could hear. ((Wait. It was probably about 10:00 when we left Sao Paulo, so it would probably be 2 - 4 am considering the time zone difference from Brazil to Texas.)) | 2011-11-27 04:46:00 Author: Merc Posts: 2135 |
| (( it kinda jumped forward in time. i couldnt think of any interesting conversations to happen during that time )) | 2011-11-27 11:24:00 Author: nerzdadestroyer Posts: 1527 |
| ((My turn People )) Alex and Rico were leaning against a nearby wall as the others discussed which way is the best way to go if they wanted to stay somewhere safe , Issac and Heather seemed to be arguing , Alexa was still questioning Micheal on what he did earlier and Zim and Ivon were sitting back to back and just talking. - I got to stop getting into plane crashes Rico. - Yeah thats 2 for you and Micheal. - What do you think we should do next. - Well were going to have to find a mode of transport and probably hideout around Microsofts territory for a while. - Ummmm.......ok. - Whats wrong with that Alex? - Well I left Microsoft and deleted my Microsoft profile so they can't identify me as a member of Micorsoft, So if we go within 100 Miles of Microsoft HQ they will Kill us - What! You didnt tell me or any of us! - I was bu........Oh ******* Rico had already thrown a punch that came into conact with Alex's face , Rico looked up , everyone was staring in there direction but no one moved a muscle , Rico looked back down at Alex who was coughing up blood, however Alex got back up and when Rico wasn't looking threw a punch of his own , Rico fell back staggering before losing his footing and falling to the ground , he soon got back up but before anything else could happen Issac and Ivon were restricting Alex from moving and Alexa had Rugby Tackled Rico. ((uh oh, fight in the squad XD)) | 2011-11-27 11:48:00 Author: butter-kicker Posts: 1061 |
| ((Not much to share with everyone, but I wanted to post the rest of the conversation with Rico to just flesh out future plans and stuff.)) "Let me get this straight... You need us to all head to New Natal?" "Yeah." "When it still exists?" "What did you just-" Dynamo rapidly started to mouth something to Jak; who subsequently butted in by impolitely sticking 2 fingers up at him. He leant back and snatched the mobile out of his grasp. "Hang on." He dug his left hand deep into his combats' pocket and rummaged around hurriedly. His ring and index fingers emerged clutching a miniscule plastic-y block, barely half a millimeter thick and a centimetre long. He slid open the cell's casing and rammed the mysterious cuboid on top of Jak's sim card. He flipped the phone over and the screen turned to an ominous pure black. "You've broken it. Great." "Nah. Encrypted, here ya go." Dynamo threw it back to Jak who watched the LED display fill will green noughts and ones. Ziggy felt like she was in The Matrix. Or at least the most imaginative lucid dream she'd ever had. Jak raised the smartphone back to his ear and resumed his conversation awkwardly. "Sorry 'bout that." "No problem. I'm a little bit more worried about what you were implying when you mentioned, "When it still exists". Care to elaborate on that?" "We're heading to New Natal now..." Jak's deep, slightly lilted Mancurian voice trailed off absent mindedly. "Nice strategy. Say what I already know, why don't you? Not cut the crap and tell me the truth." "...To blow the city up." "I misheard you. I definately misheard you. Yeah. I didn't hear that... Okay, I guess I just did. What the are you thinkng?" "It wasn't our decision to make. We're simply following orders." Jak's voice became toneless and robotic. It reminded her of someone... the flashback of what had took place barely ten minutes earlier seemed to pulverise her brain and she slumped against the wall, unnoticed by the idiot standing next to her. "I'm all for obeying your superiors but there's a time to draw the line. This is that time." "Ziggy... Ziggy refused." Ziggy opened her eyes long enough to see Jak looking extremely ticked off, pacing around the stretcher restlessly. "She did? Good to know. She certainly has more of a brain than you do, so I guess it's not too much of a surprise." "And she ended up with a bullet in her foot." He stopped pacing, turned on loudspeaker mode, held the phone at arm's length and tried to make himself feel imposing. It failed drastically. He reverted back to his previous position. "A sargeant shooting his own faction's soldier? No. That's not possible." Rico; the solid believer of tradition and responsibility, was at a loss. Or rather, he would be, if he believed what Jak was trying to say in the first place. "All I know is that this war is getting out of hand." "And by doing this, it'll escalate and become even worse." "I know... But I don't have a choice." "You do. You always have a choice." "Sometimes you've got to play with the cards you're dealt." "And sometimes you've got to step away from the table." "You're nothing but a tool." "Really? Why'd you think that" "You're a pawn in the most messed up chess game I've ever bore witness to. And dam, you're gonna get pwned." "I guess we're at a stalemate." "A checkmate more like." "What the hell is a checkmate?" "I give up. Meet me at these co-ordinates in an hour or two." Rico listed a series of what seemed like random numbers, Jak noting them down on his left hand with an old, leaky ballpoint he had found stuffed in his bag. "And... Enjoy... Enjoy whatever amount of time you have left." "I'm going to survive this bull." "Sure you are..." "I'm going to prove you wrong." "Sure you are..." "And I'm going to end this call right now." "I certainly don't doubt that." Rico paused thoughtfully for a few seconds. "Take care, jerk." "Yeah. You too." Jak pressed the End Call button on his mobile and slipped it back into his pocket. | 2011-11-28 22:42:00 Author: abyssalassassin  Posts: 717 |

| - SO YOU MEAN YOU ARE JUST A TRACKING DEVICE FOR THEM TO FIND US??? - Calm down, I didn't... - Yeah, of course you didn't. Nobody does. Alexa let go of Rico, now calmer. He pointed at Alex and said: - If I simply suspect that you are bringing us an inch of trouble, consider yourself done. Everyone now calmer, they proceeded to walk towards any direction. Isaac tried to make small talk with Rico. - So, what's your plan for the night, captain? Rico talked while checking his PDA. - I must get to New Natal by tomorrow... - Any reason for that? - None... - Seriously, any reasons for that? - Jak and his team are going to blow up the city. Everyone stopped in their tracks after hearing that. Alex couldn't do anything but avenge himself. - So, you complain and cry about me being tagged, but you want to send us on a suicide mission??? - You didn't hear me well, Alex. I said "I". - And what's the difference? We are going to end up following you one way or another! - No, you won't. Someone must go after GDN. Meanwhile, I have to take care of this matter. - You know what your problem is? You think you can solve all the problems in the world! - I don't. I think that when you see a problem, you must go and do something about it. As they continued to traverse around the forest, the talk changed subjects. - Either way, we'll need transport. Isaac chopped down some large bushes, revealing what seemed like a gas station on front of them. | 2011-12-02 21:28:00 Author: gdn001 Posts: 5891 |
| The crew continued through a forest, seeing if they could find anything. Isaac was cutting through a massive pile of bushes that had growing into the way on the side, and in the distance, past a lot of trees in the way, saw what looked to be a gas station. Isaac: "Uhm, guys, I think I found something." Rico: "What is it?" Isaac: "A gas station..." Ivon: "OH FINA-" Isaac: "Be quiet.., just because this place is partially overgrown, doesn't mean it's completely abandoned. Anyone with a weapon, make sure you're ready to use it just in case." Alexa and Rico decided to go in first, and checked around. They told Isaac to come over, then one by one, everyone else. Michael walked around, finding no use in any sort of walking stick, but instead, just reaching his arms out. He was walking away from the station, only a bit, but hidden behind trees and overgrown bushes and vines that he had to tear through, he felt what seemed like a car..no, a truck. He could feel an emblem slightly sticking out of the car's door in which he could feel the outlines of the shape. Michael softly said a few simple words. Michael: "Camera....t-take a picture." Heather went over, Michael feeling whatever shape this was, and then knowing where it was, pointed right at it for Heather. She examined it closer, and took a picture. Heather: "Guys..." Rico: "Not now Heather." Isaac: "Have you been able to re-connect yet?" Rico: "No, just things already put on this thing, I'll keep trying though." Heather: "Guys, we have company. They went over, and took a look, while Ivon was looking through a little store next to the gas station. Alexa: "It looks a bit worse for the ware, are you sure it just got here?" Heather: "Not sure, but this symbol, it's strange.." Isaac remembered what Rico had previously said then.. "No, you won't. Someone must go after GDN. Meanwhile, I have to take care of this matter....." Isaac looked in his pocket, and grabbed out the photo. Isaac: "Rico, I've been meaning to show you something." ((Sorry if I messed up the mood, having vines and bushes around this gas station. You could say the city's not too far off, and maybe some sort of trail here, I'm not too sure.)) | 2011-12-03 01:35:00 Author: Dragonvarsity Posts: 5208 |
| Edin was sitting on a rock while they all observed some sort of logo. He sighed as he brushed some dust off his new suit. He wasn't absolutely hating the situation he found himself in, but he wasn't a fan either. He rubbed his nose, still sore from when Alexa punched it. Speaking of the devil, she branched off from the main group and walked over to him, along with Michael, who she was leading. He noticed she was limping, but felt no compassion. If he had his way she wouldn't be walking at all. "Your friend wanted to see you", she said, letting go of Michael's hand. Edin responded with an eyebrow raise. "Leave", Michael stated. "Huh? Where? We're in the middle of nowhere you realize", Edin replied. "But most importantly, why?" "Bad Man", Michael answered. "Huh?" "Bad Man", Michael repeated. "Who's that?' "Bad Man". Edin sighed. The kid didn't have a future in writing, that was for sure. Though there were probably some people who would enjoy a book composed of non-descriptive, cryptic paragraphs. As he rose from the rather hot stone, Edin noticed a shadowy figure creep up to a tree, and suddenly Michael grabbed both his and Alexa's hands and started running. "Directions", Michael calmly stated beside the situation. "Where are we going?!", Alexa yelled. "Who's Bad Man?!" "LEFT!", Edin yelled, helping Michael avoid a tree. The group back at the van looked back to see the trio running. "What the **** are they doing?", Rico swore. "I have no id- Rico!", Isaac yelled, but before they knew it, they were surrounded by Blackout soldiers. A tall, skinny figure with slick, laid down, brown hair walked up to Rico, a sly smile plastered across his face. "Ah, Mr. Martinez. You've caused quite a stir. Accusing my organization of crashing a plane. If we were to do such a thing, we would do it on a much larger scale", he said. "And who might you be?", Rico asked. "You can call me Jackson. But names aren't important. It has come to my...attention that you are, or were in the possession of a child in a blindfold, named Michael. He's gone now, but we'll catch him. But the favor I'd like to ask of you is, what can you tell me about him?", Jackson questioned Rico. Rico spit in his face. "Now now Mr. Martinez, no need to be rude", Jackson said, wiping the saliva off his face with his bony hand. "I'll ask again, what can you tell me about him?" Rico still didn't respond. "Fine, we'll have it your way. Would you like to know who really crashed that plane? I think it'd surprise you greatly". "It was you", Rico replied. "Hah, no. I was on that plane Mr. Martinez and I have no intention of dying. No, it was our little friend Michael. Did you know that Nintendo put a bounty on his head? Tried to execute him. He's not all flowers and daisy. So I'll repeat again, what do you know about Michael Clark?", Jackson said, his cocky tone never changing. Rico sighed with disappointment. Nintendo rarely if ever attempted to use violence to deal with crimes. Rico had heard that Nintendo had ordered the arrest of someone, but never caught the name of who. "Some of my friends here, they said that he caused some soldiers to go psycho while we were escaping", Rico said. "Escaping? From soldiers? Looks like you're in hot water", Jackson butted in. "Yeah, we were. He got us out of it. Did he really crash that plane?', Rico asked. "Yes. It was quite unfortunate, I was beginning to enjoy my dinner. Now, what can you tell me that I don't already know? Did he state his intentions? Did he have any friends?", Jackson questioned. "Some kid named Edin", Rico answered. Jackson's face went pale, but only for a second. "Thank you Mr. Martinez", Jackson stated, adjusting his tie. "I'll be taking my leave now." Jackson proceeded to walk off, but the Blackout soldiers stayed. Rico began to reach for his knife. "Kill them", Jackson ordered, before vanishing into the shadows. | 2011-12-03 06:00:00 Author: Testudini Posts: 3262 |

| M E A N W H I L E . . . Ivon ran forwards and jumped. The trolley drifted down the isle and then twisted over its wheels and crashed into a wall. Ivon stood up and picked up a packet of fruity-os. " mm, better take some of these back for the guys". He continued round the shop until he saw a fishing isle. he was about to step down it when he heard something. It growled at him... Ivon looked down towards the end of the isle and there, tied up in a net, was a tiger. " oh.. oh my.." Ivon stuttered. The tiger looked up at him. He could see his tiger eyes meet his human ones, but he didnt see hate in those eyes. he saw pain. then Ivon realised what he must do. he walked slowly to the end of the isle and gently picked up a corner of the net. he then slowly un wrapped it from the tiger. as soon as one of the tigers claws where free, it looked up at Ivon, as if he was saying thanks, and then bolted down the isle and out the door, pulling Ivon with him, who was still holding onto the net. " AHHHHHHHHHH" he screamed as he tumbled about on the floor. then the tiger took a turn into the forest and Ivon had to balance to stop himself from hitting trees. Then the tiger jumped out on top of a black car and Ivon rolled into a bush. The Blackout soldiers looked at the tiger. The tiger looked at the Blackout soldiers. This gave Rico and the team enough time to take most of them by surprise. Rico stabbed one soldier in the neck and twisted. Isaac tripped a guy up and slammed his elbow into his stomache. the tiger jumped on one, scratching his face and stabbing him severely in the chest before running off into the forest and Ivon called for mommy. | 2011-12-03 14:34:00 Author: nerzdadestroyer Posts: 1527 |

| ((Yay! I get too do the epic fight scene)) - Rico! Look out! Heather Screamed , Rico Turned a delivered a quick jab too one of the Blackout soliders faces , Heather drew a knife a jammed it into another's neck *KRUKK* , everyone could here the knife go in , Issac delivered a piercing kick to 2 soldiers stomach's and they began to retch violently. Everyone than Jumped behind a brick wall and the firing of the bullets commenced. Rico was holding a Pistol and Heather a M14A1 Rifle but apart form them no one had a weapon left. Issac had a idea.... he took Rico's gun off him and dashed behind a gas tank and before the blackout soldiers could react , Issac had kicked the gast tank in the soldiers direction and shot it, The explosion let off a huge shudder and even knocked down the brick wall that the group were hiding behind. - HELL YEAH Rico shouted - We showed them who's boss - Ummm....Rico? - What Heather? - Where is Alex? Alex was chasing jackson , intending to kill him and gain revenge for his fallen comrades in the plane crash when all of a sudden a loud thunder like sound shook out and Alex fell to the ground , breathless but not dead. He wasnt going to give up..... ((Just wanted to add a twist)) | 2011-12-04 14:00:00 Author: butter-kicker Posts: 1061 |

| Edin sighed. Once again he was put in this situation. Running away from some dude Michael called "Bad Man". And this all started when Edin decided to be a good samaritan and save Michael. The result? Dust and dirt on his twelve-hundred dollar suit. Alexa said Michael wanted to see him which made Edin think, what was making Michael stay with Edin? He must of known something right? Or someone was telling him to stay with Edin. Anyways, now was not the time. "Right!" Edin screamed, trying to guide Michael through the forest. "Slow down Michael!" Alexa said, trying to keep up with her injury. "Left! Oh, Uh no your other left! Sh*t! No sorry left, go left!" Edin yelled, obviously still in shock by how fast this all was going down. "Can we PLEASE, slow down?!" Alexa asked. A slight tone of irritation and anger was building up in her voice. "No time. Bad Man." Michael said calmly. "No one is behind us Michael, we've been running for a good minute I think we've los-" A giant explosion came from behind the trio and sent them all tumbling to the ground. "Ok... What the ***** was that!?" Alexa asked. "Who cares! Look at my ***** suit! It's covered in dirt and leaves!" Edin said as he picked off the leaves that were stuck on his coat. Alexa whispered, "Shh! Shut up, shut up! Listen!" Everyone stopped what they were doing and went quiet. The only noise heard was the sound of the wind blowing the leaves around. "I don't hear anything Alexa." Edin said quietly. "Stop." Michael demanded. "Do you hear it?" Alexa asked Michael. "Yes." Michael replied. "Hear what? I don't hea..." Edin heard it. It was faint. The sound of leaves crumbling. The sound of... footsteps! "Where is it coming from?" Alexa asked. "On our right." Michael answered. The three moved behind a couple of bushes and hid. The Blackout soldiers were looking for them. They were only several feet away and they took advantage of that. "Who are we looking for again?" One of the soldiers asked another. "Some kid named Michael. Oh. We're also looking for someone named Edin." The soldier replied. Edin looked over towards Michael and Alexa. Why were they looking for Edin? What did they want from him? "Jackson wants them both alive. Edin and Michael have some... similarities, to say the least." The third soldier said. Similarities? Michael barely spoke in full sentences, how the hell did they have similarities? Edin glanced over at Michael who appeared to understand what the soldier said. "Alright, let's split up. They couldn't of gotten far. And remember, we need Edin and Michael alive." | 2011-12-06 03:49:00 Author: Whalio Cappuccino Posts: 5250 |
((I'm going to continue the story because when I post everyone follows my lead and posts right after.  ))- I think he went that way! Heather ran into the trail after Alex, while Rico, Isaac and Zim went after Alexa, Michael and Edin. - Wasn't there another guy with us? - Oh, come on, that guy's a wimp. I'm sure he'll be fine. Not understanding Rico's logic, Isaac just shut up and kept heading into the jungle. They keep running until they hear distant footsteps. Rico and Isaac hid behind a big rock and took a glance. There were three blackout soldiers searching for something in an opening. They were far for each other, so Rico signaled Isaac to go around, so they could take them out quietly. Rico then used the grappler to slingshot into the air and drop right on top of the first soldier, knocking him out. Right after Isaac came out of the leaves from the other side to stab the far end soldier on the neck. The third one was turned back at them, so Rico proceeded to run towards him and take him out, but was interrupted by a loud shot that came from some bushes nearby. The shot missed, making the soldier turn around and spot Rico. He thought fast and delivered a jab to the soldier's face. He then tried to hit him again, but the blocked his attack and almost hit him back. Rico tried punching him repeatedly, but the soldier was buffed up and resisting well to the beating. Seeing that he was going nowhere, he grabbed the pin of one of the grenades the soldier had on his gear and pulled it, kicking the guy away and running as he desperately tried to get rid of the live grenade before exploding into a bloody cloud. --------------------------------- Alexa came out of his hideout holding a gun. - Whoops... - Wait, you were the one that tried to shoot him? - Why yes, I thought you needed some help... - You could have revealed them your position! And you almost got me killed! - Sorry! - Well, anyway, where are the others? The blind guy? - Them? I moved there to get a better shot, but I left them behind... Isaac appeared from his side of the field, joining the two. Zim came out of her hiding place right after. ((Ohh, editicity. )) | 2011-12-06 23:54:00 Author: gdn001 Posts: 5891 |

| Jackson left the scene and simply said to the other soldiers he had travelled with.. Jackson: "Kill him." He then ran off, probably to join some others waiting not too far away. Isaac looked over only to see a tiger jump out of the door in the gas station, which then hopped onto the car previously studied. The soldiers looked over at it, one you could obviously tell was shocked more then ever. Rico took the opportunity by stabbing one soldier, then twisting his neck. Isaac then tried delivering a quick trip to one guy, and as the fight started to break out, Alex ran toward Jackson, trying to avoid the throw of punches, and the stabs that came with some of them. Alex yelled, anger in his heart, chasing after this guy, knowing that if they didn't know who was at top, and stop them, they'd just be fighting the same low-class soldiers over and over until they were taken out. When trying to take his breath, he looked over to see another soldier, alone. The guy looked over at Alex, took out his large shotgun, loaded it, and fired. ---------------- Rico: "We showed them who's boss." Heather: "Ummm.... Rico?" Rico: "What Heather?" Heather: "Where is Alex?" After Heather asked that questioned, a loud sound could be heard from what seemed to be not too far. Heather: "Oh no.." Rico: "Heather. Isaac and I are going to go look for Michael, Edin and Alexa. You need to go look for Alex, alright? Heather: "Alright." Rico ran off to join up with Isaac and like that, they were far away. In case Alex was hurt, Heather quickly went over to the Blackout vehicle, first looking behind her, and then after making sure things were alright, she gently pressed her face against the window. There were large, powerful vines to the side of the car, which one side, the driver's side, had been sticking out some. She looked through the window and saw a glove compartment. Heather: "Hmm....maybe there's a first aid kid there....." Heather tried opening the door, but of course, it was locked. She tried going around the side, just to make sure if she really couldn't get through. And she was right. The vines were thick, and everywhere. She had no time trying to plow through them all. She looked over to Ivon, who was on top of the car, still. Heather: "Think you can help?" Ivon: "Hngrrrr" That's the best she could get out of him, so she got out a weapon of hers, and quickly bashed it against the window of the driver's seat. She tried to slowly get harm over the remaining broken glass to quickly open the door, but her arm went right over a sharp part of the glass. Heather: "****!" Her arm started bleeding pretty bad. She just reached her arm back in there quickly, unlocking the car from the inside with her hand, putting it back out and getting in. She tried getting over the broken glass that was pushed onto the seat, reaching for the glove compartment, and then opening it up. She quickly shuffled through it, and found a first aid kid. She kicked open the driver's door behind her, got the first aid kit and got out. She opened it to find a few things in there, including some bandages. She wrapped them around her arm, and carried on, going into the forest, in the direction Jackson had left, supposing that Alex had when after him. ((Incase it seeme dlike I was being too controlling with what went on with Alex, butter had said a loud sound was heard, Alex went down. Breathless, but not dead. I didn't try stating that he was shot, but not leave that out of the possibilities. I guess it's for butter to decide, but incase he's not in the mood to get shot, he could be breathless from running, and drop to the ground because of being breathless but also trying to dodge the shot, and tripping aswell.)) | 2011-12-07 12:53:00 Author: Dragonvarsity Posts: 5208 |
| Alexa showed the others where they were hiding, but Edin and Michael weren't there anymore. - I told Edin not to go anywhere! But he just wouldn't listen... - Maybe you forgot where they are? - No, it was right there... - There's nobody here, Alexa. Edin isn't exactly the best when it comes to strategy, but even him wouldn't be that dumb to get lost in a forest with people behind him. - Well, we need to find them, right? The group moved around the forest, after what seemed to be the noise of footsteps. They were expecting Edin and Michael, but instead, they found another group of Blackout soldiers. - Looks like they brought an entire army with them! Come on, these people are everywhere! - What are they doing? They were pouring a liquid over the plants. One of them released the bottle and shouted: - FIND THE TWO TARGETS, THEN BURN THIS PLACE DOWN! - Well, that's our cue to get out of here... - Not before we find the others, Alexa... ((Also cue for everyone else to do something.  )) | 2011-12-07 14:04:00 Author: gdn001 Posts: 5891 |
| Ivon got up slowly. " why.. does ... this stuff... keep....happening ...to... to me" he groaned. he heard noises from all over. confusing noises, "its like someone hitting a tennis ball really hard at light speed or something and... oh... gun fire... again" he walked away from the car and towards the sounds. he stopped. he could hear rockets exploding. ear-piercing sounds. he continued on... and walked straight into a war ground. | 2011-12-07 20:53:00 Author: nerzdadestroyer Posts: 1527 |
| Isaac: "How many do you see over there?" Rico: "Eleven....at least. That's just one group. There must've been others around, god only knows what we're up against." Isaac: "We can't just go in there guns-a-blazing like before.." Zim: "What's the current status of the group again?" Alexa: "We're after Michael and Edin, and Heather's back looking for Alex." Zim: "So what good is Michael and Edin for us?" Rico: "Whaddyou mean?" Zim: "I mean, one of them barely talks, while the other does nothing but complain. Seems like they've been holding us back." Isaac: "So what are you saying...we leave them when we get into New Natal?" Zim: "No, I mean we leave them here. Yes, Michael helped get some of those guys away earlier before we got to the plane, but he's also the reason they were after us. And again, we're in this because of them." Rico: "So you're saying....just leave them here? A burden or not, and believe me, I can be picky with who I'm partnered with, these guys are after Michael for a reason." *Isaac looked over the bushes, and saw that the soldiers were gone.* Isaac: "Clear." Rico: "Alright. Isaac, you're with me. Alexa, you're with Zim. We are going to look for the two, despite the circumstances. Are we clear?" Zim: "......alright. But if I get another bloody bullet in me, it's on you. Alexa, you can be my shield." Alexa: "Good to know.." | 2011-12-07 22:47:00 Author: Dragonvarsity Posts: 5208 |

| ((Alright, here it is. But, how did the attacker know Heather's name and supposed that in fact her was coming, out of the different people? Oh well, I guess they know stuff n all, but creepy.)) Heather continued walking through the forest, trying to keep herself somewhat hidden but being quick as well, as she'd have to get some real medicine later so it wouldn't get infected, but still, she carried The First Aid Kit that had already been used before she had used it, now containing a few more bandages, a flashlight.....and a spare water bottle. She could barely hear someone talking, and continued. Attacker: "Well I know who that is...." The attacker hid himself in a bush, Alex could only croak Alex: "Heather *cough* no.." And like that, some sort of object whizzed by Attacker: "What the hell? The attacker stepped back some, only for another to fly, but this one was sent right back, sharply hitting the attacker's head. The back of his head started bleeding a little, and he tried getting up, but before he could, someone had ran tree-to-tree and then jumped onto the person. He gave the attacker a powerful punch, knocking the attacker out. The unknown person heard someone coming, and quickly went through the person's things, not noticing Alex who was behind rocks. Alex looked over the rocks, to get a look at the unknown person, who was wearing a full mask. The stranger took out some sort of bluetooth/phone device thing that Alex had never seen before, and the person spoke into it, trying to be quiet, but Alex could hear it. Unknown Person: "You're right, it's a message. The Air Hawk Plane, you know. The other day, it's related to him and the poem. We need to finish this." Alex then accidentally moved a little, the other person quickly turning his head towards Alex. Before he could do anything, he could hear someone coming, and ran away, out of sight completely. Heather: "Alex, there you are." Alex: "Hey *cough*" Heather went over to Alex, got some bandages out of the box she had been carrying, and applied it around and against ((Wherever Alex got shot)). Alex: "Thanks, what happened to your arm?" Heather: "Some broken glass. We need to get out of here Alex, I spotted some soldiers spraying something on plants, doesn't look good. I need you to help us look for Michael and Edin, so we can then get out." Alex: "*Cough* Thought that was you who came here first.." Heather: "What do you mean, came here first?" Alex: "Some guy came, beat up the guy who shot me. He didn't stay long though, couldn't tell who the hell he was with that mask on though." Heather: "Did he say anything, anything at all.?" Alex: "Not to me, I don't think he even recognized me until later, but it was like he was speaking to someone else. Some plane landing, hunt down some guy.." Heather: "A plane, what plane?" Alex: "Some sort of Air Hawk kind of plane, I've never heard of it, sounds intense though. He said something about it working with a poem." Heather got out the sheet which she found at the house earlier on, and read the poem again, to herself. "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: "That guy, must've been the one at the house..." Alex: "The house?" Heather: "Research. You said that he said the plane has landed, but maybe he meant crashed. So protecting the eggs resembled something done while not knowing of something else. I think the plane they're talking about is the one that crashed in Sao Paulo." Alex: "Okay, so if the Plane is the Hawk.......then who is the wolf?" | 2011-12-08 20:18:00 Author: Dragonvarsity Posts: 5208 |
| ((Hmm....to be shot or not be shot.....that is the question? , I might just get shot)) Alex was bleeding bad , really bad , he tried to rise to his knee's but someone just kicked him back down again , Alex's sight was rather blurry however he did manage to notice his attacker reloading his weapon though Alex didnt notice the Attacker's boot coming straight at him. Alex : ughh..... Attacker: You really think you and your little posse of friends could just hide out somewhere without any of us noticing you , that assault back there was just a fix up and as soon as your friend Heather comes round the corner she will be the first of your posse to die. Alex : Wha.....do you mean? Attacker: its not your fault Alex that we've been following you this whole time , the person were really able to track is Alexa! you see she has had quite a record with us , killed many of our men , many of our finest men. Both men could here footsteps coming in there direction... Attacker: well I know who that is.... The attacker hid himself in a bush, Alex could only croak Alex: heather *cough* no ((now its your turn to decide you characters fate Dragon)) ((Alright, I am not okay with them having following Alexa. It pretty much destroys almost all of my future plans, and you didn't even consult me first, so please change it. There's some other things I need to address too, but I'm on my phone browser atm.)) | 2011-12-08 20:51:00 Author: Merc Posts: 2135 |

| Michael was starting to breathe heavily. The forest was far behind them, and they were dragging themselves across sand now. "I think...we might...be far away...now", Edin said inbetween breathes. "Not running", Michael replied. "I know...we're practically....crawling", Edin said. "Not running...away", Michael said, correcting himself. "Huh?" "Faithville", Michael responded. "What's...Faithville?", Edin practically moaned. "Home", Michael answered. Edin stopped in his tracks. "Wait...isn't that...that town? Where everyone went crazy?", Edin asked. Michael didn't respond. "Were...were you there?" Michael kept on walking. Jackson lit a cigar as the Nintendo tactical drove towards the pit he called home, which isn't something he was too proud about. It was logical to assume that Michael was heading there now, along with Edin, which made things plenty easier for him. Ambush him there, set him up in his new position, cut all loose ends by ridding of Edin, and the world would know his name in a matter of hours, maybe even minutes. Jackson stared through the smoke emitting from his cigar, out into the sandy wasteland. Little wildlife roamed these parts, even at night. Hell, Nintendo themselves rarely had patrols out here, and the ones that were simply glanced over the stolen vehicle. "I should build some sort of underground base here", he chuckled to himself. "What is that sir?", a soldier asked. "Yes, could've put a silo for one of the mind ********s here", he continued thinking aloud. That's what he called the bombs, mind ********s. They had no official name anyways. Besides, the name perfectly described what they did. "Anything besides sand and cacti would be fine by me sir", another soldier joked. Hyrule City, not Nintendo's capital but definitely one of it's most important cities. Home to all of Nintendo's most important citizens and leaders except for Satoru Iwata and Reginald Fils-Aime. It was here Nick found himself stationed. Nintendo feared that if some guy named Jackson got his way, Hyrule City would be the first to go. His and many other soldier's jobs were to make sure that didn't happen, and if it was unpreventable, save as many lives as possible. "Never was a fan of the bigger cities", Dmitri said while munching on a pickle, which for some odd reason he was obsessed with. He knew everything there was to know about pickles, and his dream was to grow them by the million. "After being stuck in Faithville for six years, I'd be fine guarding an outhouse", Nick responded. "Tell me about it", Dmitri laughed. "So tell me Nick, what do you think Michael did?" Nick fell silent. Truth be told, he had no answered. He hoped that Michael was innocent, that Nintendo just wanted to get rid of him. Makes sense, but it didn't make him happier. Claiming he went psycho and killing everyone in his outpost. It just didn't add up. "I don't know. My brain tells me to believe whatever the guys higher up on the ladder tell me, but my heart states otherwise", Nick answered. "You can never answer a question simply, can you mate?", Dmitri sighed. 'Nope!", Nick replied with a cocky smile. | 2011-12-08 21:31:00 Author: Testudini Posts: 3262 |
| ((ALRIGHT. There's a few things that i have to address here so we're going to do it rapid fire style. READY GO: 1. I'm not really doing such a great job keeping the post count working, so what i'm suggesting is that you guys keep track of your own number of posts and then just give me the total count when i say. We could also just drop the whole post count thing if you guys don't care that much. 2. SPELL/GRAMMAR CHECK UR POSTS! Seriously i don't know why, but it just makes me mad when there's grammatical/spelling issues, and it just makes TCW and you look bad, so please at least look over them before you post. I know there's lots of you guys that don't make this kind of issue but there are also some of you who make lots. *stares at Butter Kicker* 3. Please for the love of god make sure that when you include another player in your post that they are aware of what's going on and have been contacted. If it's like a small thing then that's fine, but it never hurts to make sure they're alright with what you're doing, otherwise it just screws it up for you and them. 4. Lets get some more activity from the people who don't post as much. It always helps to have the input of everyone here, and if someone hasn't posted and you need them to, just a simple nudge. I understand that we're all busy at points, and that's fine, obviously our lives take priority, but just keep it in the back of your head so there's always at least one of us still sticking around. 5. THIS IS TO ALL VIEWERS AND PLAYERS ALIKE: I'd like to just get a quick roll call here to see how many of us are still around, and that includes you lurkers who are just passively observing. I'd like to see how many of you are still with us this far in, so just like post "Here" or something, get jiggy with it, i dunno. So that's all I got for now, and you can expect a post from me coming tomorrow.)) | 2011-12-09 06:02:00 Author: Merc Posts: 2135 |

| Isaac and Rico split from Alexa and Zim, seeing what they could find out, and hopefully get back together, but of course, trying to keep communication. Isaac had found some of the weird liquid put on the plants, and decided to pick some and put it in a bag he had been carrying. Rico: "What are you doing?" Isaac: "We'll need some of this for evidence." Rico: "Yeah, but...I know this is going to sound dumb but, what if all this liquid or...whatever..goes off altogether?" Isaac: "Then I'll make sure to keep the bag closed tight, alright?" Rico's phone buzzed, and when answering it, he heard Heather on the other line. Heather: "Rico! Can ya hear me?" Rico: "Loud and clear. Were you able to find Alex?" Heather: "Yeah, but he got shot, and it isn't looking pretty, we'll need to get him some medical attention. I bandaged it up some but....we'll need to meet somewhere." Rico: "How about back at that gas station?" Heather: "You sure it's safe going back there." Rico: "No reason for them to go back there, unless it's a different group. You haven't seen Michael though, have you?" Heather: "No, sorry. If we aren't able to find him.... I think we should head forward to New Natal." Rico: "Have you been talking to Zim?" Heather: "No, I haven't. But they've already shot down Alex, we're all lucky to still be alive. Our mission is to get there, plus, there's a possibility he headed there.." Rico: "And get Microsoft involved? Then they would find out, and that would just make things worse." Heather: "I know, I know. It might sound stupid, but we've wasted too much time and resources. The enemies are circling us, and they're spraying something. If we hang around too long, we'll go down with this stuff too. Surely Michael had seen some of this spray. Wherever he headed, it wouldn't be far. We're meeting up with Ziggy, right?" Rico: "Right." Heather: "I've never met the lady, but you've said she has her own squadron. Maybe when we're done helping her, we can try looking for Michael." Heather sighed, pressing her fingers against her head. Heather: "We just don't have a lot of options here. You know it, I know it. Ill be on the lookout though, guys." Rico: "Isaac and I will do a little more looking around, see what we can find. Then we'll meet back up with you, okay?" Heather: "Okay." Heather kept going forwards with Alex, trying to make sure he didn't fall over, after had had gotten pretty....woozy. She re-appeared at the gas station, and was definitely......early. Alex, still woozy, tried sitting back against the Blackout car that was there, only to fall back. Gone. Heather: "The car's gone....wait a minute.....where's Ivon?" ((I know it was pretty ridiculous having Rico, Isaac, Zim and Alexa split up in groups of two only to decide to come back. But since Ivon will have to make his way back, as well as Isaac, Rico, Alexa and Zim, you guys can pull any last-minute stunts before getting out of here and onward to New Natal. I talked with Toortle about it some by the way, and he said he was fine either way, if we went to Faithville or New Natal, and due to going to meet up with Ziggy, New Natal it is.)) | 2011-12-14 02:16:00 Author: Dragonvarsity Posts: 5208 |

| The sun once again rose over the desert floor unleashing a new day upon the world. Michael and Edin had only managed to get about two hours of sleep and were still proceeding at a snail's pace. Once again, Michael dreamed about the field. Except this time, there was no strange watery figure, and the girl didn't speak to him. He was just alone. He explored it a bit but woke up before finding anything of interest. "How much further?", Edin whined. Michael pointed at a nearby radio tower. "There", he answered. Edin groaned. "Can we atleast take a break?", Edin asked. Michael glared at him for a second, then reluctantly agreed. They sat down by a giant rock which casted a welcoming shadow over the burning sands, as if protective of it. "What's that?", Edin asked, pointing to a small green animal near the base of the rock. Michael pointed to his blindfold. "Ah, forgot about that". Edin stood up and walked over to the small little creature. "Hey, it's a turtle!", he laughed. "What's a turtle doing out here?" The turtle shied away from Edin, then noticed Michael, who it joyfully waddled towards. "Hello", Michael said, as if greeting an old friend. Edin, as always, was confused. "Umm, do you two know each other?", Edin asked. Michael nodded. "Spike", Michael said. "Huh?" "Name" "Uh-huh..." With a sigh, Edin fell onto his bosom. Things just got weirder and weirder. "Mind of dog", Michael explained. "Loyal, honour". "I honestly don't care Michael", Edin responded. "Let's just get going before more of those Backtrouts find us, okay?" ---- "Why ya think Blackout would target Hyrule City", Dmitri asked at the dinner table, munching on a pickle as always. "Dunno. What have they done recently that would cause such an uproar? No-one believes the plane was Blackout. We attacked that rich kid's house, not Blackout. Rico obviously isn't Blackout. Maybe Faithville?", Nick answered. "Hey, ya never told me what happened there, did ya?", Dmitri wondered while pulling another pickle out of the jar. "That's what search engines are for", Nick growled, still preferring to forget all about that. "Ya talk about Faithville like it's so important, yet shy away when asked anything about it", Dmitri said. "Anyone that matters knows why it's important", Nick said angrily. Dmitri, sensing that he was angering his friend, quieted down. After dinner, Nick headed to his room. He was posted at a huge outpost with a small amount of soldiers, so they were allowed individual rooms, which was a blessing to Nick. He flipped on the light switch, unbuttoned his uniform, then examined his chest. Nick wasn't in good shape after the Faithville incident. The only way he could be saved was a 1-up implanted inside him, connected to his body through various fleshy wires. It caused constant pain as one might imagine. Everything seemed to be in order, no world eating worm that had lived inside the green mushroom was eating its way out, and the 1-up hadn't expanded to gigantic sizes. But now that he thought about it, he would've known about those already anyways. With a sigh, he buttoned up his uniform and fell onto his bed, eager for a new day. | 2011-12-14 06:00:00 Author: Testudini Posts: 3262 |
| "So, how long til we get to wherever the hell we're heading?" "RPG." "There's actually a town called RPG? Awesome." "No... When I said RPG, I meant RPG!" "Oh. Right. Is there any chance of us surviving this?" "I'm guessing we'll find out in five seconds." "D'you have any last words?" "To hell with last words, I ain't dying today. Gecko! Bank right!" "Are you sure you want to do this?" "Yeah, I am." Gecko followed orders, swerving the steering wheel sharply and taking the ambulance over the cliff edge and into the consuming mass of foliage. This time there was no dramatic pause of time, in fact, time seemed to actually accelerate. They hit the ground on a gradual slope covered in thick, soft grass; the impact almost unnoticible. She couldn't decide whether it was the cushy landing or the fact that she was so used to dropping from crazy heights that her body had actually adjusted to the shock. Or maybe she was just locked into the wildest lucid dream possible to think of. Maybe... Hopefully... Impossibly. But considering everything that had happened that night, Ziggy couldn't truly gauge what was possible anymore. Nethertheless she began to frantically blink her eyes. "Ziggy, what the heck are you-" "Just stretching my, uh, eyes." "I always thought that you were mental but this turns it all the way up to eleven..." "Thanks, really needed to know that." She turned round and called out to Gecko. "How the hell haven't you crashed yet?" "How the hell would I know." Gecko turned round for a split second, grinning dopily in pure euphoria. "Whatever you're doing, don't sto-" A sharp cracking sound was quickly followed by a deep thud; the driver forced to skid to a stop. What was that?" "I dunno. Won't do any harm to find out though." Everyone deserted the van, the blistering wind so strong; it felt almost like the sudden gust was eroding their facial skin down to the bare bones. "A secret tunnel, what a coincidence." They stood at the mouth of the cavern, virtually taunting them to venture inside. Ziggy felt as if she was being drawn in with the strongest magnetic pull in existance. As the famous saying stated, she couldn't say no to temptation. "Wait, there could be..." "Traps inside?" "Yeah. I don't think it's safe." Ziggy slowly turned round and gave Jak the iciest stare he had ever had the misfortune of recieving. The glare was was so piercing in fact, that his entire soul felt as if it had just been completely hollowed out and dumped onto the leaf littered floor. "So what other options do we have? We can't carry on driving, they'll find us eventually. And running off into the forest won't do us any favours either." "You're right... But this feels wrong. This whole stupid mess of a situation feels wrong." "Well; sometimes, you've got to play with the cards you're dealt. According to you." "So I'm a hypocrite if I don't jump into the fog with you? Are you, crazy?" A long, awkward silence ensued. He already knew the answer. "Sigh. Anyone else have a problem with running into a pitch black tunnel leading to god knows where and filled with god knows what?" "Nope." "Nu-uh." And with those words, the four soldiers descended into the consuming darkness. | 2011-12-17 00:30:00 Author: abyssalassassin Posts: 717 |

| Isaac, Rico and Zim carefully made their way through the forest, searching for Michael. But something made Zim stop and whisper: - Erhm... Guys! - What is it? - Do you smell something burning? - Now that you mention it... The three followed the smoke trail to its source. A large fire was taking over the forest. A big flaming tree started to fall apart right in front of them. - RUN!!! The tree hit the ground next to them as they ran away from the fire. They stopped to regain their breath, while Isaac reminded: - What about Michael and Edin? - Come on, smarty guy, if they wanted them alive, they must have been careful not to burn them alive, shouldn't they? - I'm more worried about Heather and Alex right now... - Well, she told you to met with her, right? What about we try to find the Gas Station? Everyone agreed and carried on, still coughing from the smoke. ((That's it, no biggie... ;_; )) | 2011-12-17 01:51:00 Author: gdn001 Posts: 5891 |
| The smoke went up, high in the sky, above Isaac, Rico and Zim, as they tried to escape it's clutches, and above the large trees. Far away, a number of Blackout soldiers were making their way out of part of the forest, in an open area on a tall hill. As they were going down, they saw a billow of smoke not too far from them. Sergeant: "I wonder what's going on over there..." Medic: "Well, there could've been a terrible accident. There could be some men of ours in need of medical attention. That, or possibly some idiot partners trying to set a trap. What should we do sir?" Sergeant: "Hmmm.....we're going in, men. Be vigilant, and get your guns ready." The Blackout soldiers went onward, following the signal. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Isaac, Zim and Rico continued forward, getting out of the smoke that they had been caught in earlier. Alexa then showed up soon after. Alexa: "There you are! Nice job abandoning me when those two soldiers caught us by surprise." Zim: "Any time." Rico's phone started ringing, so he picked it up. Rico: "Yello." Heather: "It's me, Heather. Alex is all good, but the truck with what looked to be some sort of Blackout symbol, it's gone." Rico: "So what, some of them are moving out?" Heather: "I guess, I can't be sure." Rico: "Anything else you need to tell me?" Heather: "Ivon's missing, no sign of him." Rico: "Well that's just great. Heather: "How far are you guys from the station?" Rico: "Can't be too far." Heather: "Alright, do you want me to give some sort of symbol?" Rico: "No, others could see it, we've already gotten enough-" Rico looked over to the smoke which was prety far away now. Isaac: "What's wrong?" They all slowly turned their head to the right, only to see a slew of soldiers on hills high up from far away. Rico still had the phone in his hand. Heather: "....Guys?" Rico: "They're coming at us." Isaac: "What? Are they following the smokeline?" Heather: "Wait, what?" Rico: "They'll head towards it, then us." Isaac: "But we've done alright covering some of our tracks-" Rico: "Doesn't matter, they'll check all over." Heather: "Guys, please, what are we supposed to do?" Things remained silent there as Rico, Isaac, Zim and Alexa at eachother, and then Rico put the phone back to his ear. Rico: "We run." Alexa: "What?!" Rico: "The gas station isn't gonna do us any good. The vehicle we could've used is gone." Heather: "There's a rusted one over in the corner, might just wor-" Rico: "It won't be enough. You need to get out of there, and quick. Find somewhere, with transportation. If one of us finds a good place, with something to use to get the hell out quickly, we'll contact the other." Heather: "What if we're on the other side of the forest, soldiers getting to us? What then Rico?" Rico: "Then your on your own Heather." And like that, the signal was disrupted, ending the call before either Heather or Rico could respond. | 2011-12-17 03:04:00 Author: Dragonvarsity Posts: 5208 |

| The fire came ever closer, and ever more intense. The heat from the burning bark behind her began to singe the back of her neck, yet, she was running as fast as she could. "Where the hell is the end of this forest?" "Hopefully not much further!" "I **** well hope so!" They kept running, their speed barely hindered by fatigue, even Alexa managed to keep up with her half limp-half run. "There's a clearing right there! Maybe it'll stop the fire from spreading!" The 4 of them came to a grinding halt in the clearing, with the fire coming up behind them moving at a steady rate, but they'd managed to outrun it to some degree, and took a few seconds to catch their breath, but their woes were far from over. The sound of a weapon firing was heard in the distance, and then the sound of shell pierced the sky and cut through the sound of the burning flames. Alexa removed herself from the forest and looked up closer at the descending object, and came to a grave conclusion. "MORTARS!" She dove to the ground and brought Isaac down with her while Zim and Rico ran for the forest in the opposite direction of the growing fire as the shell pounded the ground right in the center of the clearing, followed by another 3 a bit further off, but the real danger came when a second fire aporached opposite the original. Everyone just stood there and looked at eachother, trapped into the middle of the forest by the coming fire and mortar rounds. Out of the frying pan, into the fire. ((Alright, well I was going to have Zak show up in the clearing and save the day, pick everyone up and all that, but I end my posts on a climax, and adding that in on the end wouldn't have worked.

| ((Thanks for trying to help, but yeah, looks like it's screwed..again. If there's no solution tonight though, I guess we'll have to send it in for the third time. The two last times it took around 2-3 weeks, and the first time it messed up, the memory had to be wiped completely. Looks like it might be harder trying to fit in gdn's part, but I'll try my best. But enough ranting, here's a new post.)) ((MEGAPOST ACTUALLY.)) Cannonballs flew above, crashing into multiple trees, debris flying everywhere, and the added smoke from burning trees didn't help. No actual gunshots were being fired at them, but they could all feel some of the Blackout soldiers were looking for them. Isaac found a hidden little spot, where he told Rico, who was in front of the group, to turn around into there. They all took a breather, and then Isaac looked to Zim. Isaac: "The bandages." Zim: "What?" Isaac: "I saw bandages In your little bag. Could you spare some? Zim: "Uhh..... sure.. one second *shuffles through bag* Are one of you guys hurt?" Isaac: "No, something else." Zim handed Isaac some of the bandages, as Rico and Alexa kept watch, but Rico also tried fiddling with his PDA some. Isaac made sure to just grab part of the bandages, as he started wiping a phone he got out. Alexa: "Isaac....what are you doing?" Isaac: "Three of us were given special phones, from the SSO. It's possible that they're using or will try using it to track us." Alexa: "You sure you wanna take that risk?" Isaac: "Well, one of our commanders ended up being a spy, god only knows how much information he had stolen, so yeah. I think it's a risk worth taking." Alexa: "Alright, but back to my original question.....what are you doing?" Isaac: "Wiping off whatever fingerprints I can. I don't expect it all to come off, but I can probably get some." He then held onto the bandage, and pressed hard against his phone until it broke. He then put his hand out, bandage over it, for Alexa to give him her phone. He then proceeded to wipe it off and then break it with the bandage around it. Rico: "We should start moving." Isaac: "After yours." Rico sighed, but then handed Isaac the phone, and he quickly did the same thing with the other phones. They left the phones behind, and steadily, kept moving. --------------------------------------------- Heather and Alex kept moving, trying to find some sort of way out. They heard someone coming, just one though. She told Alex to take a little break. She got behind a large tree, and as the guy was passing right by, she brought a punch from her good arm out, only to bring more pain in her bad arm. Nevertheless, she sweeped him to the ground with a swift kick, and then caught a pistol Alex had thrown to her. They could tell he was pretty weak. Must've joined in the last five days or so. She spotted a phone on him, and before calling a recent called person on there, she gave the soldier a command. Heather: "When the phone call starts, you're going to tell him you're bleeding, and you need medical supplies. Ask for a truck, or an ambulance truck. Any sort code or other message, and that'll be the end for you." Heather tapped onto the selected contact, and started to call the person. Then, she Put the phone to the guy's mouth, without giving it to him. Soldier: "F-Frank. I-I need you t-to send a truck. Bleeding....really bad here. Frank: "I'll enable the tracker, send some men over. If this is some kind of joke-" Soldier: "No joke, but be quick." Heather ended the call, and put the phone on the ground. Alex then decided to knock the guy out. The two of them proceeded to hide the guy over on the side, and cover him Some. Heather then picked up the phone and they continued walking. Alex: "There is the problem of them finding out something's up, then what Heather?" Heather: "I don't know, but we'll need somewhere good, so when they come for us, it winds up alright for us." Neither did Heather nor Alex think about their own phones.... Frank: *alone* "Wait a minute....." Frank got out his phone, and called the group he sent to go get to that guy. Some soldier: "Hey again." Frank: "Something interesting has turned up. I did a tracking, I found the phone I was tracking.....but 2 others showed up. Some soldier: "Are they Blackout?" Frank: "No, but they're showing up when I do a scan. Seems like......Sony." Some soldier: "What do we do sir?" Frank: "They could be apart of this......go in, and kill them both." | 2011-12-19 02:13:00 Author: Dragonvarsity Posts: 5208 |
| ((I havent been posting recentley because I have been doing christmas shopping for the whole family but I'm doing a post now)) Alex: How long do you think too those supplies show up, because my wound has re-opened. Alex pointed in the direction of his wound that was now seeping blood in the extreme. Heather: that looks painful...we should probably rest for a bit too make sure that stops Alex: Good idea. Both of them sat against a nearby rock,heather closed her eyes for a minute or two,Alex looked at her,he now realises that if it weren't for her he would be dead at the moment and also that if he didn't run off she wouldn't be injured as well. His eyes looked in the direction of the fairly big slice in Heather's arm. He owe's her his life and much more. Alex: Heather? Heather: *yawn* yeah Alex? Alex: thanks for everything Heather gave a big smile... Heather: don't mention it Only seconds later she managed to make out something in the distance, a House? a shack? Only one way to find out, she stood up and started to walk towards the mysterious thing and Alex soon followed. It was a shack and a big one,both of them decided to stay in the shack untill the supplies came. However when they entered the door behind them slammed shut and locked itself,at the sound of the door closing both of them threw themself in the doors direction but too no avail,the door would not budge,they will so busy with the door they failed to notice the item behind them, the item that took up nearly half of the shack,that is untill Alex turned around and straight away saw it. Alex: *juttering* Umm......Heather? that thing over there is a Bomb......a m..i..n..e | 2011-12-19 12:44:00 Author: butter-kicker Posts: 1061 |
| ((Wait, is it a bomb, or is it a mine? Anyway, continuing with a short post for Isaac, Rico, Alexa & Zim.)) The four kept moving, trying to find a way out. Alexa: "Guys, someone's coming." They hid behind some trees, and they swore they could hear a vehicle approaching, and they were right. Although the vehicle wasn't making a stop, it kept driving forward. Rico: "Behind me, we follow that truck." They continued moving forward, following the truck, not knowing where it would be heading. ((Buildup to bring the six together. Oh, and by the way, nerz, feel free to post when you can, otherwise one of us might just have to have Ivon running like an idiot. In fact, that might be the perfect way to blow their cover, and then of course, the bomb goes off.)) | 2011-12-20 15:03:00 Author: Dragonvarsity Posts: 5208 |
| ((its a huge version of these http://www.croatia.org/crown/content_images/Landmines_CROWN.jpg)) | 2011-12-21 10:58:00 Author: butter-kicker Posts: 1061 |
| ((Oh, okay, so land mines, huge land mines....not sure "how huge" they'd be, but oh well. Here's another post.)) Heather and Alex kept themselves close against the door/wall. They weren't sure how destructive the mines were, but seeing how Blackout's planning on burning the forest down, it wouldn't be a surprise if this was, well.....super effective. Trying to find a way out of the musky room, the two of them looked around some, without moving much at all. They both saw a window on the side of the door. Slowly, Heather made her way to the corner, away from the mines, to get closer to the window. They both realized it was secured by a professional. She looked around for a second. Alex: "What are you doing?" Heather: "Looking for something to break the window with." Alex: "Just don't go hurting your good arm.." Heather: "I won't, I won't. Alex found a hammer sitting on the ground, which he slowly picked up, and then he handed it to Heather. Alex: "Here." Heather: "Thanks." Alex took a step back as Heather brought the hammer back slowly, and, with most of her body leaning away some, rammed it into the glass. Cracks started appearing, but it wasn't enough. She did it again, then again, and then she gave it to Alex to deliver the finishing blow. Most of the glass broke out luckily, but a few pieces landed inside on the ground. Heather used the hammer to get off any remaining glass that remained on the window. It was smaller than some windows, and higher up, so they both had to sort of hop up, get their legs in first, and then slide out on the grass, while avoiding them stumbling on some of the broken glass. Alex: "These mines might be our chance to hijack one of the cars, well at least as a starting distraction." Heather: "We'll need to find some good cover, and if we detonate the mines, well, I guess we'd trigger it through the broken window. Once one goes off though, it should make them all go off, this means we get the one explosion, let's make it count." Alex: "Just pray they aren't duds." ((I'm fine writing the scene with the explosion and car hijacking, but if you planned on doing it Alex, that's fine too. I guess as for Rico, Isaac, Alexa and Zim, it's just Merc and I controlling them, so if you wanna post something related them before they're all brought together, then that's fine but if not, that's fine also.)) | 2011-12-22 17:49:00 Author: Dragonvarsity Posts: 5208 |
| ((Alright so, to coordinate with plans that i've... planned, I'm going to have Zak's falcon and Alexa's squad show up to head somewhere (said place shall remain secretive for now) and possibly make a few 'revelation' moments along the way, and then head over to New Natal, so if anyone wants to come along, please let me know, (Preferably through VM or PM so that it doesn't spoil it for some other people who's coming along.) cuz i can't start writing till I know.)) | 2011-12-23 04:25:00 Author: Merc Posts: 2135 |

Well, it looks like butter wants to tackle the 'getting to the car bit' for Alex and Heather, and when that's done, I'll do the hijacking, and maybe have some put in for the other four. And I guess we'd have to make it out which I can take care of, then you get Alexa to her destination, Merc. As for the others, I think I'll just have Isaac, Heather, Rico and Zim head over to New Natal, and then butter and nerz can decide what they'll do in New Natal, or if their part includes them straying off somewhere else, that's good too.)) | 2011-12-24 21:48:00 Author: Dragonvarsity Posts: 5208 |

| ((Merry Christmas guys)) - Just get on with it Alex! - You Know these landmines are heavy - I know but your carrying them whilst I scout out the forest - we're in the middle of a forest, there is going to be no one out here except us. - Don't be so sure Alex, remember you were shot in the forest not so long ago - How could I forget? - HA! I know you can't because you've been moaning about ever since it happened, anyways we got too find a vehicle an I don't suppose your the man for the job, so i'm doing it, Kapeesh. The two were slowly but surely making there way out of the forest, they were trying too not only find a Vehicle but there friends as well, who know's were they could be? but by the look of Heather's face, Alex could tell that she thought something was wrong. - Heather... - Not now Alex, Look over there instead, look a convoy! She was right there was at least 7 or 8 Army like jeep's heading slowly down a road adjacent to Alex and Heather, without warning Heather grabbed a Landmine away from Alex and dashed int he direction of one of the Jeep's | 2011-12-26 10:27:00 Author: butter-kicker Posts: 1061 |
| ((Wait, how exactly did they "pick them up"? I'm no expert, but considering they're not only supposed to be 'huge' but wouldn't Heather & Alex also have to disarm them before picking them up? I'm not trying to whine or anything, it's alright if they don't set off at the house the enemies were heading towards, but I'm a bit confused.)) | 2011-12-26 14:55:00 Author: Dragonvarsity Posts: 5208 |
| “I think I hear some-” Dynamo's voice trailed off absentmindedly. Instead of the brashness it normally carried, the words had become meek and apprehensive. “It was nothing.” “You completely sure about that?” “Like I said, it was noth- ARGH!” Ziggy had just barged into Jak, making him screech like a little girl and jump almost 10 feet in the air. Almost. “You scared the hell out of me!” “Might as well make this journey interesting. How long til we get out?” “I'm not really sure, seeing as I tend to avoid traveling in pitch black tunnels...” “Why are we even here?” “Why are we even here? Oh, that's easy. We're here because you wanted us to go in here. Y'know, 'cos I actually have absolutely nothing to do with this.” “No, I mean, why this war? Why this planet, why this uni-” “Remember what happened last time you got a little bit too philosophical?” Her foot throbbed pointedly. She grunted dismissively. “...You don't need to remind me.” “Good. Now lets all continue trying to not get massacred by the bogeyman or anything.” “Hang on, does anyone have a light?” “I do.” It seemed that Dynamo was actually useful for something... As pained as it was for Ziggy to admit it. “Can you, uh, light the way?” “Sure-” “Maybe that's not the best idea.” “Why not?” “Well. Something could be down here. Maybe a lot of somethings. And maybe those somethings might not respond that well to light...” “Look, being in the pitch black is fun... If you're an earthworm. And if you're correct, frankly I ain't taking any chances with what's down here.” “Okay; maybe the bogeyman's NOT trying to get us. But think of all the other possibilities. What about tunnel gas?” “Please tell me you didn't just let one rip.” “No, stupid. I mean the type of gas naturally found underground... It also has the tendency to explode when it comes into contact with light.” “Well, how did miners know where to mine ore and stuff? They just did it in the dark?” “No. They brought down canaries. If the canary fell off it's perch, it's generally a good time to get the hell outta there.” “Seriously?” She paused. “Think Dy would make a good canary?” “I don't have any feathers and I certainly don't know how to fly. So, thanks, but no thanks.” “How do you know you can't fly if you've never tried?” “I tried jumping a foot in the air and flapping my arms in midair back when I was a kid... Nothing happened.” She smirked and leant back against the rocky wall behind her for a second, before hurriedly recoiling. She assumed that the wall being covered in slime was completely normal in a deserted cave. “You were doing it wrong. Birds actually learn to fly by jumping out of their nest. If we get out of this alive, I know a really great cliff...” Jak was once again trying to withhold the urge to laugh like an idiot. He failed. “And you don't even need to learn how to fly, all you have to do is sit on your rear all day and die in a dramatically comic fashion. It's not THAT hard.” “Yeah, real funny. Now can we be serious again?” “We're never serious. I do crazy stuff, you moan at me for doing said crazy stuff, Wolf tries to break up the resulting fight, everyone then gets distracted and Gecko ends up saving our rears... that's how it's ALWAYS been.” “Now that I think of it...” “I'm correct, aren't I?” “Nope, completely wrong.” “Sigh. I'd be attempting to punch your lights out right now but it's not like there's any light to punch out.” “Want to attempt it now?” The tunnel was bathed in a warm glow, revealing an open cavern. “Didn't I tell you about-” “That gas? We were going to get lost in the dark anyway. I figured getting blown up would be more fun.” “Go figure.” They walked on in silence for what seemed like hours... In all honesty, it was probably longer. “Dam; I'm exhausted...” “We all are.” “And hungry.” “We all are.” “And thirsty.” “Didn't you hear me the last two times?” She ignored him. “I can even see one of those mirage things now.” Everyone simultaneously stopped and quizzically gazed at her. She shifted around awkwardly under the whole of her squad's gaze. “A mirage? Of what?” “A gap in the rocks... And light shining through.” Once more she was greeted by inquisitive stares, but they were more intense than before. “It's probably just my imagination...” “Where?” “Up there.” She raised her arm tentatively towards a corner about 10 meters away, her whole body fatigued and worn out. “...I must be sharing your hallucination, because I can see it too.” | 2011-12-27 08:14:00 Author: abyssalassassin Posts: 717 |
| Jackson's technical arrived at the half-hidden cave. He along with three hundred other Blackout soldiers have had the honour of calling these cave systems their homes for the past few years. Their mission was simple. Using the remnants of the Genesis Project, they were to create a missile that was capable of reproducing the Faithville incident and cause damage on the level of a nuclear bomb. Recreate would be the proper term. However, Jackson was never assigned to them back when Sega was in control of the project, so progress wasn't going anywhere. Without Michael, they would have to take the missiles from the old Sega HQ in Faithville. The problem with that was that Nintendo had built quite the wall around the ruined city. No-one got in, no-one got out. "Are the soldiers ready?", Jackson asked, tossing his cigar aside. "Yes sir, we're preparing for the attack now", the soldier responded, cold and emotionless. "Good. You remember your objective?", Jackson questioned. "Yes sir. Get to the Sega building, retrieve the plans for the missile and if possible see if any remain", the soldier answered. "Following the man's orders eh? Look kid, around here, I'm the boss. You do as I say, not what Eric says. Your objective is to get in there, get Genesis, take control of the missiles, then take control of Faithville. If all goes well, we should be able to launch the first attack tonight", Jackson ordered. "But sir-", the soldier protested before being interrupted by Jackson. "Need I remind you that I know where your family lives? I can be a very dangerous man", Jackson said with a smirk. With that, the soldier shut up and ran off. Jackson turned around and headed towards his office, where another soldier awaited. "She still not willing?", Jackson asked, hanging his coat up. "No sir. Do you have the replacement?", the soldier asked, rising from a chair nestled into the corner. "No, not yet. Soon enough though. Soon enough", Jackson said as he fell into his office chair. "Sir, how soon is soon? The soldiers are about to leave for Faithville. We don't have much time!", the soldier said, a hint of worry in his voice. "Trust me, he'll be here soon enough. Later than expected but he'll be more useful in the future anyways", Jackson assured the worried soldier. "Now go join your brothers, we have a war to start!" | 2011-12-27 08:48:00 Author: Testudini Posts: 3262 |

| "Alright, let's call a vote, who has better timing, Alexa or Zak?" "Zak." "Zak." "....Yeah, Zak." "Wait. When was there ever a competition?" "I'm confused now." "Alexa, you still haven't thanked me for saving your ***." "I just voted for you." "Of course you did, you can hardly vote for yourself." "...." The falcon flew away from the burning forest, sailing towards the deserts bordering New Natal. ----------------------------- The 4 continued to run through the burning forest, the smoke ever growing as the flames engulfed more of the bark. "Agh, god... are anyone else's eyes burning right now?" "Alexa just hold on! I think we've almost made it!" "Goddamit I hope you're ri-" In a flash, Alexa's world almost fell apart in a second as her ankle gave out and tripped on a root, with the layer of smoke coming down to a few inches away from her face, placing the others far out of sight, and the sounds of blackout footsteps becoming greater. She tried to get up but she still couldn't manage to get her foot loose from tight root. Alexa almost felt the cold steel of the enemy weapons come down onto her face. Just as she heard the subtle sound of orders being spewn into their radios, what seemed like a shooting star came crashing down through each of them, followed by the sounds of spinning blades and a rope ladder falling down towards her, as she came to pass out. ------------------------------- "So where did Erin and Jason get off to?" "Took another flight out to New Natal." "Why?" "Becuase there's a chance that Erin would get shot again." "So we're just heading back there th- AAAAAGH." All she could feel was a sharp pain in her head, and everything was dark once again. ((Hmmm... Now that i read that back to myself it seems odd, might have to go over it again later.)) | 2011-12-28 08:58:00 Author: Merc Posts: 2135 |
| ((So wait, is this basically what just happened in your post? The four keep running, Alexa trips badly yet the others don't notice and keep running. Blackout soldiers find her but are shot down by her friends which drop down a rope ladder to let her up, and they fly away from the forest? If so, I'll try to incorporate them noticing Alexa's gone yet there isn't a reason to go back. The only thing holding me back from another post is I'm still a tad confused with butter's last post.)) | 2011-12-28 13:53:00 Author: Dragonvarsity Posts: 5208 |

| ((Oh, alright. Thank you for clearing that up. Continuing now)) Isaac, Zim and Rico kept running, past the smoke, and stood there for a second, noticing that Alexa was gone. Rico: "Oh great, she must've gotten grabbed." Isaac: "Wait, what's up in the sky?" Zim pulled out some goggles and could see Alexa up in the helicopter, as it quickly flew away." Zim: "Alexa's in there." Rico: Must be her team, we got separated earlier." Isaac: "Should we keep going?" Rico: "No way we can get to her anyway. Yeah, there must be some cars somewhere.". Isaac: "Get down!" Another truck passed so sticking by the trees, far over on the side, they steadily followed it. -------------------------------------------- Heather and Alex had to throw the mine together, considering they both had their injuries. The two ducked before it slammed against one vehicle, exploding on impact. This killed the driver, and the car behind that one slammed into the damaged with another one swerving to the side. Both Heather and Alex made their way around some for better cover. Alex looked over and could see soldiers in the back of one of the trucks were preparing to slowly get out. He passed Heather one of his smoke grenades, which she threw out quickly while soldiers were still getting out. The smoke set off, and in case any of them saw her throw it before it went off, the two changed cover, moving to a fallen tree back over on the left. They got of their cover and tried tossing another grenade, going back and putting their shirt over their mouths. The smoke was starting to fade, and they heard a dispatch sending more in. Heather looked on the side. Three trucks were torn down, the people started getting out. They had no grenades left, and more trucks were being sent in. The soldiers started shooting rapidly, forcing the two to move. Suddenly, one of the soldiers fell down, hitting the ground. Bullets came from the side, knocking down soldiers. Others tried getting to cover. Heather took the opportunity to get closer, Alex following. A guy came running towards them, toppling on Alex. Thankfully some of the soldiers focused on the side shooting, coming from Rico, Isaac and Zim. Heather pushed the guy off Alex and the two quickly ran around the tree, and got in the leftmost truck. Alex got in the driving seat, after pushing off the previous driver. Alex was about to start, but Heather stopped him. Heather: "Wait!" Alex: "What?" She opened the window by him, steadied her knife, and threw it at one guy trying to take down Zim. They could hear more cars coming, so quickly, Isaac, Zim and Rico got in the car. Alex: "Is that everyone?" Rico: "I think s- wait a minute..." Screaming could be heard a little far away, and they saw Ivon running towards them, as other trucks followed. | 2011-12-30 21:09:00 Author: Dragonvarsity Posts: 5208 |
| His eyelids popped open. Disoriented, Michael felt around. The ground felt rough and wet. He was sure he fell asleep in a desert. You don't forget something you hate that much. "Ah, awake are we?", a young woman said with a chuckle. Michael didn't even bother looking in her direction. "So Michael, what brings you back to Faithville?" The more Michael thought about it, the more the voice sounded familiar. "Don't remember me?', she said in a strangely happy tone. Then the gears starting rotating, and he remembered. Bad Man's ((Jackson's)) 'daughter', Adabelle. Not biologically, and she wasn't exactly adopted. In many ways she was similar to Michael. The only difference was that Bad Man formed a fatherly relationship with her. She was selected for Project Genesis shortly after Bad Man had lost his daughter in a lab accident. He was freakishly nice to everyone that month. They had many similar traits that bonded them together, the biggest being that they were both insane. The moans and pleas for help suddenly pierced Michael's ears. He heard dripping and a fire burning away. But the most defining feature, the one that struck Michael the most, was the smell. It was as if a big lump of rotting flesh merged with a huge sphere of stinking feces to form into the ultimate devil of smells. It was then that Michael noticed Edin wasn't panicking. "Edin", Michael stated, or asking in his terms. "The annoying guy? I reckon his corpse is in a ditch somewhere", she shrugged. ((Whaaaaale asked me to kill off his character. He shall be missed ))"What?', Michael half-yelled, showing a hint of emotion in his voice since god knows when. "Look on the bright side, we spared your turtle. Always liked turtles. He doesn't seem fond of this place though", Adabelle laughed. Michael was fuming. He had to trek through a desert for two days, woke up in some strange place, found out his best friend died, and then she took his god **** turtle. He stumbled onto his feet and made his way towards her before smacking right into a set of bars, causing Adabelle to release yet another laugh. "Oh Michael. Don't think you can go using your super powers here. We lived together for two years brother, don't think for a second that I don't know how to prevent you from doing your mental things. All it takes is some weird pole thing, and you're about as useless as a half crushed banana. A blind one in our case", she giggled. Michael hated how she called him brother. The last thing he considered her was a sister. Or a dolphin. He was sure she wasn't that. "What happened", Michael said, temporarily admitting defeat. "You wandered into our territory and paid the price. Faithville isn't the safest of places Michael, you of all people would know that. Lost your sister in some bank robbery, didn't you?", she said, the giggling practically a part of her voice. Michael tried to stay calm, but it wasn't going so well and he didn't really see a point. "Bad Man", Michael said, looking at the ground. "You know I never cared about that pathetic dog", she said as if offended, though Michael could tell she was greatly exaggerating. "Now if you excuse me, I have some very important business to attend!" Michael heard her rose from her seat and walk away. Michael crawled into a corner and thought. If he was capable of showing any sort of strong emotion, he would probably be crying at this point. Edin, the only person he could currently trust, his only friend, was dead. He was in Faithville which was good, but in the hands of a mad woman. Michael heard footsteps, getting louder rapidly. "Oh, and I almost forgot. You'll be expected in the arena in about ten minutes. I know your navigation skills are sorta weak, so I'll send someone to pick you up", Adabelle laughed before running off again. ... Crap. | 2011-12-31 06:35:00 Author: Testudini Posts: 3262 |
| Alexa arose slowly, her head in screaming pain, and confused as to what had just taken place. The last thing she could recall was being brought into Zak's falcon, and now as she started to awaken she saw the dark of night and a small skyline, aswell as Jason's silouhette talking to 3 armed soldiers pointing at the other members of the squad. "...one gets into Faithville, what are you doing here?" "We have wounded, one of them seems to have been mumbling Faithville, and it was the closest place. Are you really going to deny us some medical attention? C'mon Nintendo." "Actually we are. Faithville has been restricted for years, for reasons you don't need to know. I suggest that you get out of here before things get ugly." "We aint going anywhere, low on fuel." "Then we're bringing you guys in." "Why not just give us some fuel, and then we'll never say we saw anything." "No one in, no none out. You guys brought this upon yourself, and we can't risk you MS guys going back over to New Natal and telling anyone that this place as much as exists." "Well, s***."

But if you have other plans, I can edit out, but to make it clear it shouldn't take more than 2-3 posts until we're out of the forests, not only because they're together and took over one of the Blackout trucks, but also since I'll be controlling gdn's characters (a.k.a. Rico and Zim) until he's back, along with my own, Heather and Isaac.

| ((Alright. Got the go-ahead from nerz, I'll edit this post a bit later continuing the forest escape if that's alright.)) ((EDIT: Here it is)) As Isaac, Rico & Zim got into the back of the truck, they switched around some with Alex and Heather. Both Alex & Heather got in the back of the truck, which had already been started up, while Rico got in the driver's seat and Isaac in the passenger's seat. Rico tried turning the truck around. Heather: "Couldn't find Michael or Edin?" Rico: "No..... umm.... Zim, there's some medical supplies, you can tend to Heather & Alex some." Zim: "Aye Aye." Rico was then able to move the truck around. Alex: "Is this everyone?" Rico: "I think s- wait a minute...." Screaming could be heard a little far away, and they saw Ivon run towards them, as other trucks swarmed in. Pushing Heather and Alex over, Zim tried making room and opened the door for Ivon to jump in. He then closed the door. Rico drove forward, trying to zig zag the driving some, not only confuse those behind them, but to also avoid crashing into some of the trees ahead. Rico: "Does anyone know a way out?" Bullets start to fly by the car, Zim opening a window, getting her gun out, shooting the driver in one of the trucks behind her, after a few misfires. Zim: "Uh...Yeah, maybe one of your phones should h- Oh wait, that's right, Isaac decided to destroy the phones." Heather: "Of course....they must've tracked our phones." Rico: "Making a turn!" They drove around the gas station they had been at earlier. Isaac: I think we're getting closer." Heather could see the Blackout truck that had been at the station, now gone. Rico could see trucks moving away through the mirror. Alex: "What are they doing?!" Either pulling away, or some other strategy. Heather: "That's it, they're all just leaving?" Rico: Not all, there's still at least four trucks behind us, but if this retreat has anything to do with Michael or Edin, let's be glad we're not in their shoes. | 2012-01-02 17:05:00 Author: Dragonvarsity Posts: 5208 |
| Nick sighed as he cleaned the Yoshi. Cleaning duty, the one thing he hated about this place. It was boring sure, but much better than Faithville and for the most of the day they just sat around playing video games. "They say there was some terrorist at Sony, named Rico. Kidnapped that Zim girl. Wasn't he some high ranking guy?", Dmitri asked, cleaning a Yoshi of his own. "All I know was that he tried to prove to the world that we were innocent. Guess everyone is just going to think he's insane now", Nick sighed. "Innocent about what?", Nick's Yoshi asked. "Nintendo plane crashed in Sao Paulo", Nick explained. "Some people think it was just a civilian plane, others think it was some secret group, others think it was a terrorist attack. You clean yet?" "Yep!", the Yoshi exclaimed, licking Nick's face. Nick sighed, rubbed his face with a dry rag, and walked off towards the cafeteria for lunch. Dmitri finished up his Yoshi and caught up with Nick. "So apparently the Wii U release frame was narrowed", Dmitri said, hoping to start up a conversation. Nick, not caring, didn't reply. "Hopefully it'll show the rest of the world we aren't some kiddy group with guns." "As long as I get paid, I don't care", Nick said. "Nick, grow an emoti-", Dmitri began to say before being interrupted by the explosion. "What the hell was that?", Dmitri said, pulling out his Zapper. "Oh, the unicorns ripped opened a hole in time and space and are coming to conquer humanity and put us to work in sock factories. It was an explosion you dumb***", Nick said, pulling out a Zapper of his own. Shortly after, the alarms went off and marching could be heard, gunfire rising shortly after. Nick and Dmitri rushed to the bottom floor to find eight strange, hulking men gunning down everyone. Before he could react, Nick felt a sharp pain to the back of his head and he fell down, unconcious. The last thing he heard was Dmitri begging for mercy. --------------------- Michael was practically dragged by the collar of his shirt. He had trouble standing on his own two feet and was still a bit disoriented. His escort found much humor in this and frequently chuckled. The smell improved slightly, but the feeling of dread always lingered. The faint sound of a crowd reached Michael's ears, and he began to wonder how serious this arena was. Michael heard the escort call out to someone and then heard a gate raised. Before he knew it, he was flying and landed on what felt like gravel. With a groan, he pushed himself onto his feet. "Weeeelcome ladies and gentlemen to the Faithville Arena! Today we have a citizen of Faithville, long gone but finally returning home! Give it up for Michael!", Adabelle screamed into a mic, as the crowd's cheering began to really **** off Michael. "And his opponent? Some loser I picked off the street. I think his name is Sam. Let the match begin!", Adabelle said, her voice quickly becoming bored. Michael heard whimpering, and suddenly felt a punch to the jaw. "I'm sorry", a young male voice said before Michael felt another blow. "It seems the weaker of two is easily over powering the stronger one! What a turn of events!", Adabelle screamed with delight. Michael wiped blood off his mouth and threw a punch, missing. "I'm so sorry", the man said again before Michael was kicked in the knee. Michael threw another punch and this time contacted with what he guessed was the man's nose. He heard a scream and a thump. Michael kicked in a random direction and hit the torso. A groan shortly followed. The crowd roared with excitement. "Let's make this more interesting eh?", Adabelle said shortly before Micheal heard something fall to his right. He reached down and felt a hilt. "It's a sword blindy!", Adabelle laughed. | 2012-01-03 07:08:00 Author: Testudini Posts: 3262 |
| ((Well, here's a long post to keep you guys occupied.)) "Alright, someone please explain, they tell us that access is restricted here, then they mention that no one should know about this place, and proceed to take us prisoner, and now we're being casually walked down a well air conditioned hallway without binds to be interrogated by people who seem generally friendly. What in that sentence doesn't add up?" "You forgot the Nintendo part." "Oh right. Now it adds up." Alexa and her squad walked down the stairs towards a nice reception desk and a set of rooms titled 'Interrogation rooms' and a few chairs and side tables very reminiscent of a patient waiting room in a doctor's office. The 4 of them sat down as Eve picked up a copy of 'Nintendo Power'. "Hmm, 3DS down to $49.99 this week." "What's the Vita sitting at right now?" "Still 250." "Oh." "Anything else?" "Uhhh... Nothing interesting, unless you care about a new Legend of Zelda clothing line." "I do need a new hoodie." "Also, something about Pikmin 3." "Pikmin 3's comin-" "The interrogator will see you now." "Wait, who's going in?" "We'll take 2 of you." "Zak, you and me let's go." Alexa and Zak walked into the room labelled 'Interrogation room 3', and inside was 2 chairs, in front, and a man in a Nintendo uniform sitting in front with a grin on and a welcoming look to him. He stood up and shook hands before the pair sat down and the interrogator starting speaking. "So, what are you guys doing here?" "Just stopping by to say hello." "Alright, cut the bulls***. What in the hell are you doing in Faithville." "Look, we were low on fuel, we had wounded-" "Had?" "Well I was passed out, and had a fractured ankle." "How are you, feeling better already?" "It's complicated." "Alright, well there's still the thing about you guys being in Faithville, and y'know, knowing about Faithville, that whole business." "Right. Well, you heard about Blackout right? Well, we're on a mission to take them out, we're trying to save a lot of lives here, and I hate to do do this to you, but we could use all the help we could get in this matter, but you've just got to trust us." "Why should I trust someone i just met, that came into a long restricted city that they're going to take out one of the biggest threats we've seen with a squad of just 4 people." "6 people..." "Look, you guys definitely seem like the above average troopers, but I just can't put Nintendo in this kind of position." "Faithville is restricted, right? Is there a chance that i could be informed of why that is?" "We've been trying to keep what happened here secret for years, and it would break every promise i've made to Nintendo, so I cannot do that. Tell you what though, I will see what I can do to help you guys, but i'm not promising anything, and you guys have to get the hell out of here before my superiors start asking questions. A lot of rumors are going to go around when they hear that a Microsoft ship landed at Faith-" A bang followed, and the sounds of helicopter blades and wheels rolling in, all they could hear was utter chaos. Screaming, walls collapsing, gunfire, explosions. "They found us, we've gotta take out the threat before they find him." "Wait, find who?" The interrogator said nothing else, and the three of them quickly evacuated the room and walked out into the lobby, where the rest of the squad was standing at attention, waiting to get armed and ready to take on the attackers, and to their right, still sitting was a man wearing a blindfold with a turtle sitting on his knee, next to another man trying to protect himself by curling into a ball. | 2012-01-03 08:39:00 Author: Merc Posts: 2135 |

| Edin coughed and tried to stand up, but instantly fell back down. He looked around but everything was blurry. Was he dead? Edin saw a strange blue humanoid walk up to him, similar to the one in his dream. The thing got on it's knee and put it's hand on Edin's chest. The young spoiled man felt a strange sense of peace flood his body, then as per tradition, everything went dark. He woke up in a field. The grass met the horizon with no obstruction except a few trees scattered about. "Oh god I'm dead!", Edin moaned, a tear falling gently from his eye. "No", a strange booming voice said. "You are simply in a state of suspension." "What?", Edin asked as he got back on his feet. "Your life force has froze", the voice explained. "Huh?" "You're in a state of healing." "You're making perfect sense right now", Edin said sarcastically. "In time you will know", the voice said. After the voice finished talking, Edin suddenly felt like he was alone, as if the owner of the voice had left. "Greaaat", Edin sighed before walking towards the sunset. | 2012-01-07 22:25:00 Author: Testudini Posts: 3262 |
| ((A lot worse and shorter than the original, but it will have to do.)) "HOLD THE LINE! DO NOT LET THAT TANK GET THROUGH!" "Easier said than done, good sir." Alexa, Micheal, Edin and her squad bunkered down inside a crater sitting at the bottom of the building, along with the interrogator and a few other Nintendo guards with the rest of the Blackout and Nintendo occupying the intersection in front of them. The troopers were heavily concentrated, but the tank was the worst part, ripping through the city's fortresses and guards. "You Nintendo guys got any ordanance around here?" "ogodogodogodogodogod..." "At the armoury, on the other side of town, but I don't think you'd want to be running through all that chaos." "Well, I don't know about you guys, but this crater is getting pretty uncomfortable." "Who's got a plan then?" Alexa grazed her eyes over her squad and met her eyes on Eve. "...I don't have a plan, what you looking at me for?" "You don't happen to have those smoke grenades still, do you?" "Seen the gun on that thing? It'll just fire at the smoke and kill us all." "Eve. Have you ever heard of something called a diversion? We can just use them to distract the guards and the tank, run past and take over the tank, then use it to dispactch the Blackout guys." "Alright, then how bout Zak grabs the Falcon to refuel and get us the hell out of here, and Pete can sit here and watch over Edin and Micheal." "Sounds good, but I've got some... business to take care of first." "Business?" "Right now let's worry about that **** tank." Eve handed one of the smoke grenades to Alexa and they nodded at eachother before tossing the smoke on either side of the junction, and running around further on the outside through the buildings on either side of the tank, with the distractions providing enough time for them to reach the tank before they noticed them, and for Zak to escape the building undiscovered. Eve came up behind the tank through the confusion and helped Alexa up on top. The pair popped open the hatch before Eve jumped in and snapped the driver's neck while the gunner tried to take her from behind, but Alexa sent a bullet through his head before he could do significant damage. Alexa loaded up the gun with another large shell while Eve aimed the barrel at another end of side of the road, just as the Blackout infantry started to notice, and then fired on them, blowing them off the street and causing the others to scatter, with some running into the hollowed building the rest of the squad. "Pete! Blackout's coming in closer, you alright?" "...." "Pete? ...Wait." "Alexa... Maybe in hindsight it was a bad idea to leave the mute to guard the blind and the coward." | 2012-01-08 08:04:00 Author: Merc Posts: 2135 |
| Jackson smiled as Faithville fell into ruins. At this rate the town would be Blackout's within the hour, and Jackson's plan would be set in motion. No longer would he be bound by rules of a superior. Once he got to Sega HQ, all would be his. None would dare defy his order. As part of his master plan, Jackson knew more about the building and its contents than he let on, which gave him an egotistical feeling on the inside. On top of that, a nearby flame lit the genius's face ominously as the moon rose behind him, giving a creepy appearance that was well deserved. Everything was perfect. "Jackson, we have a problem!", a rather buff soldier yelled. Jackson looked over at the boy. He thought his name was Zohnson, but he wasn't sure. "What is it Zohnson?", Jackson sighed. Nothing could ever go forward without a few bumps. "It's Johnson sir!", Zohnsoon who was actually Johnson yelled over the sound of his assault rifle. "Whatever. What's the problem?", Jackson said. "It's Michael, and he's with that dead girl!", Johnson said, his voice getting quieter as he ducked into cover. "Alexa? ****! I want every squad in the god **** area focusing all their attention on them, do you understand?", Jackson yelled, furious. The puzzle was about to be completed, and those fools were coming along and stealing some of the pieces. "Sir they're slaughtering everyone!", Johnson argued. "I don't care!", Jackson yelled. "STOP THEM!" "I'm not sending more men to their certain doom!", Johnson protested. Jackson walked up to the pathetic excuse of a Blackout soldier and snatched his radio. "ALL SOLDIERS IN THE GENERAL VICINITY OF...THAT HELIPAD PLACE. FOCUS ALL YOUR FIRE ON THE BLINDFOLDED KID AND HIS FRIENDS. DO NOT SHOW MERCY!", Jackson screamed before throwing the radio off the roof in frustration. Johnson got up and shoved Jackson into a wall. "What the hell are you doing?", he yelled. "Saving our entire operation", Jackson squeaked. As smart as he was, he was an extreme coward. A huge hulking figure covered head to toe in top of the line Blackout armour was a bit too much for him. "They're going to die!", Johnson protested. "People were going to die anyways!" Johnson sighed and threw Jackson aside. "I'm going to go help, maybe I'll save a few lives. You stay up here and be an arrogant scaredy cat", Johnson said calmy before jumping to the ground. | 2012-01-08 08:12:00 Author: Testudini Posts: 3262 |
| - The group were on a nearby Highway and making good ground away from the Area of danger they had just been at. Rico was Driving and Heather in the seat next too him, In the back was Alex, Issac and Zim they were all a bit Shook up about the events that just took place but they still Knew How too past the time. Alex,Issac & Heather: I'm on a Highway too Hell Alex: Ha! I don't know why I was singing I hate that song. Issac: Yeah but this fairly boring but we got too put as much Distance as possible between us and them. Rico: *whispers* why? Issac: What Rico? Rico: WHY!....why do we have too get far away from them, shouldn't we help Micheal. Alex: Look we could go back there but Micheal is extremley capable of looking after himself - Heather squinted her eyes and managed to make out a Pool of sometype of liquid in the distance than she un-Squinted and noticed that its closer than it seems. She was about to shout but The car hit the Oil slick and was sent flying off the Highway for what seemed like a enternity. ((Come on guys were getting a bit inactive)) | 2012-01-09 17:06:00 Author: butter-kicker Posts: 1061 |
| ((Was just waiting for someone to continue the bit with Isaac, Heather, Alex, Zim, Rico & Ivon. Also, just a little error, while Heather was up front with Alex at first, I did state she moved back with Alex and Zim, Isaac getting up in the passenger's seat. Unless of course, you had Heather up there for her to notice the ooil, you could replace it with Isaac, or have her squinting in the back, Isaac looking to the side, idk.)) ((Oh, and as for people who's still going with this, well, it looks like sheepysean, The Pineapplizer, ATMLVE, Outlaw_Jack, KernelM and Silver39 are no longer in it, although it's probably been obvious for a while. Anyway though, continuing.)) Although they managed to get away from the cars, and onto an empty highway, the six of them found themselves in the Blackout truck, skidding on the oil. Rico grasped onto the wheel, making a major turn, hitting the breaks, with a few in the back hitting against Isaac and Rico's car. Isaac: "Everyone alright?" Ivon: "Agh.. I think I broke a tooth..: Rico: ".....Anyone else?" Zim: "Besides being crammed here in the back, no. It's great for me in this tight spot. Ivon rolls his eyes, after what felt like Zim's twentieth sarcastic remark. Rico tried backing the car out of the railing, and they could all hear a chunk in the front scraping on the road, some part that obviously tore off during the crash. Isaac: "How are we going to hide the truck anyway? I don't think Microsoft agents will be too happy with absolute strangers rolling in, in a Blackout truck." Heather: "These roads are kinda desolate, although we don't want the risk of someone passing by and noticing us in here." Zim: "You saw how the majority of Blackout soldiers just drove away? If we need to hide a little while getting to New Natal, maybe we can pass back into the forest some, just some." Rico: "And get caught by more Blackout soldiers? I don't think so.." Zim: "Yeah, but the majority of the trucks chasing us got called back. Maybe there was no use catching us, despite the few that remained. Obviously they were called back, maybe they're heading somewhere else." Rico: "Yeah, like maybe straight into New Natal..." Heather: "Guys, guys....maybe we should do what Zim said. We don't go too deep, but we get cover. I can switch places with you in a few miles Rico. I'll drop you guys off when we're about to get into New Natal." Alex: "Alright, but what about the truck?" Heather: "Don't worry about it. There's probably a path I can take to dispose of it. I'll wipe the seats down, and meet up with you guys, alright?" Rico: "Alright.." Heather: "You guys need to meet up with Ziggy and her crew anyway. Or at least see what's going on with Microsoft.." Rico turned some into the forest, which, surprisingly, did feel a little empty. They might've spotted one or two other Blackout trucks, but it was as if they were heading away. Jackson was still alive, but at least they were too. Heather switched spots with Rico, driving to New Natal. Time passed on, until they were about to enter the city. Heather put her foot down on the break, Isaac getting out first. Heather: "New Natal shouldn't be far now, good luck guys." After a few seeya-laters, they started walking off, toward the city. Heather started the car back up again, and drove off as well, still forward some, but making some turns to avoid where people would be. ((Might sound boring having Rico, Isaac, Zim, Ivon and Alex on foot, but they're close to New Natal, so either gdn or butter-kicker can have them enter New Natal as part of the post. Ziggy and her crew are around Michael so I guess they won't be meeting at first. As for Heather, I plan on things to go not quite as planned, hopefully to have a good plot going dealing with her)) ((P.S. I am confused about one thing, has to do with your post Merc. You said Alexa, Michael, Edin and their group bunkered down, how exactly was Edin part of that group? I mean, I know by Testudini's post he's not dead actually, at least, not for now, but since when was he in the building, for them to come together? I do get how Michael joined Alexa, because he was in the arena, I'm just confused about Edin...)) | 2012-01-09 22:37:00 Author: Dragonvarsity Posts: 5208 |

| Rico started walking along the road, turning around and seeing everyone just standing. - So, what are you waiting for? Move on! - Like we have a choice... The others started to follow him, into New Natal. ----------------------------------- As everyone walked along, Isaac tried to bring up a conversation: - So, do you have any idea when and where to meet Ziggy? - Well, I suppose I could call them and ask, if I still had my PDA... - Oh, quit whining! I guess we'll have to find out by ourselves... As they talked, a bunch of Falcons cut across the sky, heading towards the forest where they just got back from. - I think that they are responding to some fire emergency in the woods or something... - We keep cool, they won't bother us. Act casual. - How can we "act casual" with the way you are dressed? - You are right Zim. Everyone will notice the sackgirl dressed like a shepherd. - ******* you... They kept walking along the road, some small buildings now passing by as they were entering the city. In the distance, the abruptly huge buildings could be seen. - So, Rico, are you going to go on with the search for GDN after this? - What else can we do? Watch the world burn? - I mean, even if we did, what could we do? Us six attacking Blackout on our own? - Understand this, if we have GDN on our side, Sony will hear us. Or at least will hear him. - What makes you think that he's even alive? - He was a tough son of a gun. - I'll have to agree with the agent on this one. He would walk away no matter what the opposition threw at us. Now that I think about it, it was almost unnatural... - How? - He would get shot, break bones, and yet he seemed to just walk it off. He even got powers from a device and got brought back to life once. - Oh, that... Are you sure that he wasn't just lucky? - No, I remember his lifeless body at my feet... There's something wicked going on with him. And you're right, we gotta find him. ((Now i need to know if Ziggy has anything planned.)) | 2012-01-11 14:04:00 Author: gdn001 Posts: 5891 |

| Pete and Edin peeked over the edge of the hole in the building to see the girls' tank driving the Blackout further towards them. Pete readied his machine pistol and aimed to the left as a few of the troopers tried to take cover in the team's ruins, but the mute quickly dispatched them when they tried to enter, but they quickly started occupying the ground around them. "Ogod I don't want to die goddamit goddamit." Edin moved back into his corner as Pete tried to move in closer to line up a better shot, as he got close enough to yell into Pete's radio. "Alexa do something pleasepleaseplease!" --------------------- "Alexa, they're going to overwhelm them if we don't do something!" "Get on the MG, i've got a plan. Hey Pete, might want to get somewhere close to the middle of the building, things are about to... collapse." "That was terrible." Alexa checked that the gun was loaded and moved over to the canon controls, aiming right at the column that was closest to the tank on the building. "This one's gunna hurt guys!" She lowered the gun slightly and pulled the trigger, unloading the round upon the building and blowing the column out, tipping the balance of the building and causing it to come down overtop of the crater inside, and extending long enough to come down straight on top of the tank, shutting down the vehicle and leaving Eve and Alexa in total darkness. --------------------- Pete brought his head back out of rubble and looked around to see Edin in absolute terror as a giant piece of glass was sticking out of the ground about an inch away from his face. Micheal sat to his left under a piece of rubble that he had barely realized was pinning him to the ground. Pete used his foot to move the rubble and help him up, just as Pete saw the surviving Blackout lining up shots on them. | 2012-01-12 06:14:00 Author: Merc Posts: 2135 |
| ((Really sorry for the length of time between last post and this one, but I've made the first two paragraphs a mass of dialogue and the last para a mass of description.)) “Somebody gimme a boost.” Ziggy put her foot on Dynamo's offered hands and pulled herself up to the shining light with a soft grunt. The cool dusk skies greeted her, but she had no time to welcome them. She reached down and gestured to Dynamo with her good hand. He grabbed it and attempted to haul himself up but a distant rumble alerted Ziggy to the possibility that this wasn't going to go well. “Come on...” He began to climb at a faster pace but in his haste to get out of the tunnel, his foot had snagged on a loose rock and the distant rumble had now become a thunderous roar. With one last burst of energy she hauled him up the panicking Dynamo amongst the array of falling boulders and attempted to call out to the other half of her fire team, to no avail. “Completely caved in.... What do we do?” “Maybe we should remain calm and try to figure out where we are.” “So, Mr I Know Everything, where exactly are we?” “I don't know.” “I expected you'd know.” “That's what I said, we're in I Don't Know. You'd Know is 5 miles down that way.” “We're definitely not in I Don't Know. I'm pretty sure we're actually in Shut Up.” “***** you're good. I mean, I'm a better fighter, better looking and more talented, but hey, you can take the better comedian trophy any day.” “I'm pretty sure you forgot to mention the Cocky award. You'd clean up with that one.” “I can always dedicate my big speech to how much of an jerk you are to me.” “Really? That'd mean a lot. Thanks for giving me such an enlightening view into the mind of a one month old baboon.” “Some people would compare me to a baboon and others would compare me to a one month old but, both together? Wow... You have no respect.” “I never had any. Surprised it took you this long to realize.” “I would have done, but I was sort of preoccupied with realizing that I absolutely hate you.” “Likewise. So, want to explore this hole?” “Wouldn't have it any other way.” “Tempted to find someone and ask them if they do proper guided tours of this barren wasteland. They'd probably get at least one nutter interested.” “That is if you can find someone who isn't a skeleton. When they said the Faithville Incident was bad...” “You didn't think it'd be this bad?” She paused thoughtfully as they walked on. “Wait, didn't they put pictures up all over the news?” “Don't you remember?” She looked quizzically back at him. “It was a complete security lockdown. The only people who found out were those who were employed by the big 3. That's how I know and that's how you know. And anyway, you think I can be bothered to actually watch the news? Sorry, correction, you think I'm actually interested in the bull they report?” “No, and I'm not either. Thinking about it, ever since Microsoft bought 100% of the shares in every single American news network...” “Every single TV channel's been transformed into Fox? And don't forget all the British ones.” “Not as bad as Fox. I mean, there's a line of decency and that just flew past it at a million miles per hour. And you don't need to remind me that I can't even return to my own country without being greeted by blatantly fake propaganda, yet no one will believe me when I try to give them an unbiased point of view.” “I'm sorry, but how the hell can you say that your point of view is unbiased? You work for Sony!” “And so do you.” “Yeah, but in technicalities I don't spout bullsh*t left right and center like you do.” “What the- No I don't!” He ignored her. “You think you're some kind of wise prophet or something. Like the world needs you to make a difference.” “And how is that bad?” “Because maybe because the world doesn't need you.” She tried to butt in but Dynamo was having none of it. “Or me. Or Wolf. Or Geck- On second thoughts, I think Gecko might be the only exception.” “Thinking about it, you're right.” “You really think so?” “No, I think your opinion makes no sense and you really do need to shut up.” “Hang on, hang o-” Ziggy never made false promises. “Argh, that hurts... Ugh.” “And anyway, I don't think we're alone. So the whole shutting up thing might be for the greater good.” “The greater good? THE GREATER GOOD?” The icy stare he received made him feel as if he had just been thrown into in arctic waters. He lowered the volume to a whisper but still kept the frantic tone of his previous sudden outburst. “What the hell are you on about?” “I don't think that we're alone.” “What are you now, Gecko mark two? So, what do I do then, oh great wise master?” “Stay here and be a good little boy while I go and kick whatever assassin slash complete idiot is following us.” “You know what I bet? I bet that there isn't a hitman tailing us and this town is just really lonely. As soon as we walk into the nearest building, they'll throw a huge surprise party for us.” “Seriously? What do you want me to bring you now, your teddy bear and rattle? Look at it this way; unless surprise parties are held in heaven, we're pretty much screwed.” She subconsciously picked up on the sound of faint footsteps echoing softly behind her. Ziggy had figured out by now that their pursuer was a threat. And even worse than that, a non imaginary threat. “Who said we're getting into heaven?” “Suppose you've got a point there, just because I can get into heaven doesn't mean you can. Still, I don't suppose surprise parties in hell are be a frequent occurrence.” The footsteps were louder now, more defined. And closer. She could feel the very hairs on the back of her neck stand up in pure tension. “Run.” “What, now?” “RUN.” “We'll that answered my question...” The hoodie wearing, machete swinging figure emerged out of the darkness and began to chase after them at an almost superhuman speed. Ziggy whipped her head round for just a second... but just a second was enough to make her trip over an upturned paving stone and smash her skull against the corner of something that Ziggy would; for the rest of her very short life, remember as The Big Painful Sharp Thing. Exhausted and emotionally drained, Ziggy awoke, her body limply slumped against the base of a nearby statue. She turned her head to face the marble column which lay against her hand and stroked the ornately engraved script etched on the surface. She couldn't understand what the enchantingly beautiful font meant, but it distantly reminded her of the egg Rhym had stolen. And then the world shifted. Ziggy gasped as the mysterious writing started to gently fade beneath her palm until the slab was blank. Now, new words were now being swiftly edged on the silky smooth surface... And they were in English. Ziggy backed away, a type of fear she had never felt gripping her heart and twisting it agonizingly inside her ribcage. She sunk to the ground, clutching her chest; heaving like she was on death's door, clutching the handle to a dystopian future filled with nothing but intense pain. She looked up briefly with tears glittering in her eyes; tears that hadn't been let out when she was stabbed, or when she had broken her hand, or when she had been dumped at Sandhurst's gates. And she gazed upwards to the cloud free azure sky which was spinning like a merry go round. No, scratch that; a 80mph 3G rollercoaster ride which laughed tauntingly as the sensation in her torso tortuously tightened. Naively she found herself hoping that what she had previously seen was just her imagination playing up and everything would turn out fine... Yeah; right. Even though her vision was blurred and hazy, the words were clear to see. She couldn't resist the pain anymore and rolled helplessly onto her back like a particularly small beached walrus. The man conceivably sitting on a cloud somewhere, manning the fairground ride chose to increase the velocity to such an extent that Ziggy instantaneously sunk fatefully to the concrete which lay beneath her feet; the previously enchanting cobalt now a twisted, consuming black. | 2012-01-12 19:13:00 Author: abyssalassassin Posts: 717 |

| A man wearing a large black helmet walked by, in some place we weren't familiar with, except there were trees all over, so some sort of forest. He waved some sort of thing around, unknown technology. Only a quick 'zwip' sound came after a few seconds of waving it, so he put it back into his pocket, giving a few looks around, before entering a code, which opened a hidden door, which blended completely into the environment, with rocks, moss, and a lot of hard earth that was kept secure on it. Stairs were revealed, and far below, darkness. The man took out his flashlight, going in, and pressing a button inside which closed the door. The man turned on his flashlight, entering another door through a code, and before finally being accepted into a room, another guy came up to the door, seeing it was just that man, no one else. This other man let the first man talked about inside, where a woman happened to be, who we also were unfamiliar with. Other Man: "Welcome back. Seems like it a took a while to get to the house." Man. "I got caught up, I was on my way to New Natal, but something was going on deep in one of the forests nearby. Wasn't pretty." Other Man: "Did you find anything interesting in the house though?" Man: "No, but looking back at that poem, it might be related to a few recent things." Other Man: "Like what?" Man: "Well, you know that recent plane crash in Sao Paulo? I know it was supposed to be accidental, hijacked or something, but you know some of these guys. If something brings all the attention over where they are, they gotta get out. There were...sightings of a group of people, who have someone familiar with them. A friend of mine spotted them in New Natal, no less than two days ago he says." Other Man: "Who is this person?" The Man we still had no name of remained silent for a second, but then answered to the Other Man, but quietly, as the woman was doing other things. Man: "Wolf." Other Man: *brief silence*.... So the b*stard finally showed back up. Is there anyone else who was spotted as well that looked familiar?" Man: "No one with a record to go on our hit list, but there was a girl, who I thought I spotted the first time I, well......tried to take him out." Other Man: "We'll have to take him out. I'm counting on you this one last time for this job. No mistakes." Man: "Do what you can to track him, any information that'll lead me there, alright?" Other Man: "Okay, and what about the whole note crate thing? I thought you had a uhm.." The Other Man more quietly and closer said to the Man, Other Man: "a code." Man: "Yeah, it's in my pock-" The Man could feel no note in any pockets of his. It was gone. Man: "Oh crap." Other Man: "What's wrong, where is it?!" Man: "Gone. Someone must've taken it..or....something.. I don't know." Other Man: "I told you not to lose it." Man: "I'm sorry...I know what the code is, you know what the code is-" Other Man: "Yes, but now someone else might have it. We've come too close, paying too much and waiting too long to get the required information. We are still without a crate, and now someone else, possibly with knowledge of the same crate, has the code needed for the crate. | 2012-01-13 21:29:00 Author: Dragonvarsity Posts: 5208 |

| - Rico shouldn't we interrogate this guy behind us...? - Alex, the guy has already ran off. - What?! Alex looked behind him and just like Rico said there was no one there. Alex Suspected that the guy following them was eavesdropping and soon ran away when he heard we had discovered him, but why was he following us? what did he have too gain from following a group of people he had never seen before? OR has he seen us before? Alex's mind pondered for a minute on this thought, what if he was trying too find someone and knew we could lead him too them? Alex than had a shock Realization! - Rico we have too stop and go in a different direction - Shut up Alex! - but... - Look Alex! whatever is waiting for us in New Natal we will take it head on and defeat, Okay? Alex looked around and noticed the faces of the rest of the Gang, not as confident as Rico was, well except for Zim but defentley not the others, they seemed extremley nervous and who could blame them walking into a City of Murderous gangs and a major army ready to put a bullet through there head...The ceiling of a nearby building seemed to be crumbling away and then they noticed him, a shadowy figure laying down, the figure soon got up and made a run for it and Rico soon burst into the building after him, then followed by Alex and the others. THE CHASE WAS ON.... | 2012-01-19 18:49:00 Author: butter-kicker Posts: 1061 |
| ((K I'M GOING TO ACTUALLY POST)) ((DAMM I AM A GOOD SHOT (sniped/editing) )) - I told you there was somebody!! - Shut up before I turn after you instead! They kept running upstairs after the mysterious figure, until they reached the rooftop, but there was nobody there. Rico checked the other buildings, and saw it running inside another one right next to them. - There!!! He jumped from one building through the balcony of another, and kept running through the rooms and corridors until finding the figure in the elevator, right before the doors close. - Damm, down the stairs! They rushed downstairs, but there was no sign of the elevator or the man. - I think we lost him... - Rico, did it even come to your mind that the guy might have taken the elevator upstairs? - To where? This building is freaking tall, how would he jump to another without getting his knees up his ribcage? - Makes sense... - Do you think that it was from Blackout? - Maybe... We'll find him again, it's just a matter of time. - We are kinda lost here, don't you boys think that we should seek information before we can keep wandering around the city? Or do you men always have to do it with guns? - Actually, Zim has a point. We need a better situational awareness with all that's been going on. Rico takes his eye out of the door and thinks. - Now that you mention it, I think that we have a SSO specialist here in New Natal. She's a fantastic hacker. - Wait, she? You mean, nerdy girl? - Why can't girls be nerdy? - Sorry, Zim, but I'm not familiar with the kind. - She's not nerdy. Ok, maybe she is, but we need some extra brains considering all that's been happening. - Sure. But do you think that she's going to help us after the episode in the HQ? - We'll find out soon... ---------------------------------------- - Excuse me, do you know do we get to Crawford Street? - Just turn right at the next intersection. - Thanks. The group walked down the street filled with cheap apartment buildings. - So, she lives in one of these apartments? - No, from what I've heard, this is the place. Standing in front of them was a seemingly abandoned warehouse. Zim walked up to it and took a look around, while Ivon immediately protested: - Sorry, fancy agent dude, but I think that the gunfire sounds messed up your head back at the woods. - Look who's talking! The guy who cried for his momma the moment we encountered someone! Zim couldn't help but look back at them and interrupt: - I don't know about you, but this place feels like home for me. Or at least it would if it was surrounded by vegetation instead of filthy apartments. - Well, Kate's a different kind. Let's ring the doorbell. --------------------------------------- The "doorbell" was actually more of an alarm, as the noise could be heard in the whole street. The large garage door opened, and inside was a woman with short brown hair, wearing glasses and a SSO uniform like the one Rico used to wear before switching it to a more "mercenary" look. - Rico? The dismissed SSO agent? What are you doing here? - Hello Kate. I figured me and my crew here need some help with a lot of things, things you know about. ---------------------------------------- Kate seemed pretty interested in what Rico had to say. Not only that, she treated the fact that he was kicked from the SSO with extreme neutrality. While they kept talking about their stuff, the others stayed on their side, talking about their stuff. - So, Zim, what do you think of GDN so far? - I think that he was wrong in many aspects, but I'm still going to help Rico find him. - Why? - I don't know... I feel like we have to. What about you? Do you support his idea? - What choice do we have? We can't figure this on our own... Rico and Kate walked towards them, interrupting their talk. - Okay guys, Kate here has agreed to help us. - That's super, but help us how? - By being the girl behind the monitors, doing the techy stuff while we work on the outside. - That sound great, but... - Yeah? - Does she ever go outside? Kate frowned upon Ivon's question before Rico could settle things up. - One more thing, Kat, we're going to need a way to stay connected. - But Rico, what happened to your PDA? - Someone here destroyed it... - Don't mind, I can give you a custom one. This one is harder to trace. - How did you... - I'm the techy girl here, you forgot that? - Right... We'll call you when we need your help. - Ok. See ya around! ----------------------------------- As everyone walked out of the warehouse, Alex couldn't help himself: - So, I sensed some history between you two there... - Well, I met her back at the SSO... - Aaand... - Ok, I know her for 8 years now! So shut up, you're the one everybody's after! - Man... For how long are you going to use that card? | 2012-01-19 18:58:00 Author: gdn001 Posts: 5891 |
| Isaac: "So...New Natal. Where should we be off to?" Rico: "Not where there's going to be people all over, at least, not I, you, Zim, and of course, Alex. *Alex gives a look over to Rico* Alex: "Although zim fixed me up, and no offence to Zim, but I still have a bullet in me you know." Rico: "You don't think I've ever taken a bullet? The reason I'm pointing my finger at you is because now that Michael and Edin are good, and we're in NN, either you or Zim are the biggest targets for them. Becuase I went after Zim, and need her to get to GDN, she gets the benefit of the doubt? Alex: "And I don't?" Rico: "Well, you also got Heather hurt running like a maniac, thinking you could just get to Jackson." Alex: "Oh y-" Rico: "Keep that in your head while I call Heather. I need to see what's going on." *Rico got out his PDA, and dialed Heather's number.* Rico: "........Heather? It's.. Rico." Heather: "Oh, hey. Sorry, you must've switched your number." Rico: "New PDA, after Isaac had to be a bit too precautious for my tastes. Anyway though, how's it going with the...truck." Heather: "Well, it's not..done with yet, and I have no idea where I am, but I'll make sure to tell you when I make some progress. How are you guys doing?" Rico: "Well, we're there, and we've got some extra help." Heather: "That's good. Hey sorry, but, the connection's terrible here-" Rico: "Alright, seeya." ---------------------------------- Heather hung up the phone, still driving, not knowing where the heck she was. It was some weird trail, off to the side of New Natal, with trees surrounding. Slowing down some, she had one hand on the wheel, and the other fondling the note she had in her pocket, with the poem on it. Turning it around though, she saw a peculiar line of numbers. It meant nothing to her, but it really made her realize that the simple piece of paper she had been holding might be more important than originally thought She made a turn over, into the woods some, different from the one they were in back at the crash. She drove through some, parked it, got out and got her stuff, and started walking away. (Prepare for le clash) | 2012-01-20 01:55:00 Author: Dragonvarsity Posts: 5208 |

| - Rico shouldn't we interrogate this guy behind us...? - Alex, the guy has already ran off. - What?! Alex looked behind him and just like Rico said there was no one there. Alex Suspected that the guy following them was eavesdropping and soon ran away when he heard we had discovered him, but why was he following us? what did he have to gain from following a group of people he had never seen before? OR has he seen us before? Alex's mind pondered for a minute on this thought, what if he was trying to find someone and knew we could lead him too them? Alex than had a shock Realization! - Rico we have too stop and go in a different direction - Shut up Alex! - but... - Look Alex! whatever is waiting for us in New Natal we will take it head on and defeat, Okay? Alex looked around and noticed the faces of the rest of the Gang, not as confident as Rico was, well except for Zim but defentley not the others, they seemed extremley nervous and who could blame them walking into a City of Murderous gangs and a major army ready to put a bullet through their heads...The ceiling of a nearby building seemed too be crumbling away and then they noticed him, a shadowy figure laying down, the figure soon got up and made a run for it and Rico soon burst into the building after him, then followed by Alex and the others. THE CHASE WAS ON.... ((I hate to do this to you, but people have to read these, and it really makes it easier to understand. I'm not undermining your intellegence or anything. (To as in 'I'm going to the store, and too being like, 'I ate too much salsa.&apos Also: ))they seemed extremley nervous and who could blame them walking into a City of Murderous gangs and a major army ready to put a bullet through their heads... ((Um, no. New Natal is the Microsoft capital, and therefore a pretty well kept city, meaning no gangs controlling the streets, (I do believe you're thinking of Faithville in that regard.) and Microsoft and Sony are at peace, so they wouldn't shoot you on sight. Just had to clear all that up.)) ((One more thing, if you guys ever need to know something, like whether your post makes sense with the story or something like that, then just ask, i'm always around.))

| ((Okay... )) (I think he hates me... Do you hate me? Anyway, powered by the sheer magic of energy drinks, here's a new post. ))“So we keep on walking then?” Silence. “Talk to me, Gecko.” More silence. “I don't care if you have to freak me out with all that ventriloquist sh*t, just say something.” “I'll talk when I have something to say.” His eyes were distant and unfocused. And his mouth hadn't moved. Again. “Sure you will. When everyone is about to die and you have to save the day?” “Not my fault if I can see the obvious and no-one else can.” “That's all you ever do. You're just an alarm to us.” “You take that back.” Gecko now had his hand coiled around Jak's neck and was holding him almost reminiscent of how Ziggy had held Dynamo. But this wasn't a threat. This was a promise. A promise of what exactly, was self-explanatory. “I'm not taking anything back. I'm telling you the truth. You don't wanna hear it? Your problem, kid.” Gecko began to tighten the hold around his victim's throat until Jak was gasping for breath, his lungs devoid of any oxygen. Jak was convinced by now that he had gone one step too far and he was about to meet his maker... The sound of a pistol being fired woke him from his half conscious daze and his limp body hit the floor with a deep thud. He slowly turned his head round to the thirteen year old boy who had lifted him, a twenty seven year old man, high into the air and attempted to kill him with his bare hands. The same thirteen year old boy now had a huge tear in his black balaclava, the gap filled with a pool of pure scarlet red liquid dripping down his right cheek. “You only get one warning. Put your hands up.” Jak calmly did as he was instructed. “Not you.” The stranger tightened his trigger finger and unflinchingly aimed it back at Gecko. “I'll count to three. One.” The particular target of the gun hadn't moved, his arms still and motionless, very much at his sides. “Two.” No movement. “Thr-” Finally Gecko tossed his Glock on the craggy earthen ground and raised his open palms. “I always like it when people do what I tell them to. Less bodies five foot under that way... Now answer me this. What were you just doing?” “What should I do?” “Come on kid, answer me.” Jak's brain almost exploded at that point, not from intense pain but because of a sudden revelation. This guy, whoever he was, couldn't hear what Gecko was saying... But he could hear him loud and clear. “What does it look like? He tried to kill me.” “Do you know this guy?” “Never met him in my life. He must have followed my tracks or something.” “So, you want him dead?” “Nah. I say that we take him down to the nearest prison and let the animal rot for the rest of his foreseeably short life.” “Whatever you say. You walk in front of me kid. And you, follow me, watch my back.” “Sounds good, as long as that little rat is behind bars within an hour, I'll be happy.” “So, how long til we reach the exit?” “We? Probably in about half an hour or so. You? Never.” When the guy had been interrogating them, Gecko had dropped his vicious looking combat knife onto the dirt, which Jak's instantly picked up. That very knife was plunged deep into the man's back and roughly fished around his heart. With a soft chink, the squad leader bent down and coolly removed the blade from the dead man's chest. “You could at least say thank you... Or sorry.” “I don't do thanks and apologies. You should count yourself lucky that I didn't just end your life.” He wouldn't usually take that from a little kid, but he knew that this wasn't any little kid. Jak recognized the dangerous quality in his crystal blue eyes. It made him remember a guy he had known back when he lived in Hackney and “did stuff” for a living, when he was about fourteen. He had manipulated that kid to the very edge of his conscience and back, driving him to attempt suicide. It hadn't worked... but that didn't stop Jak from going to the mental hospital and finishing the job. And Gecko's eyes reminded him of that guy... One second before he had pulled the trigger. Jak shivered. And it wasn't from the cold. “I suggest you don't do that.” “Do what?” Jak's heart began to beat faster. “Point your gun at my head.” “I'm not-” A lot faster now. “You're thinking about it though.” “You can read my mind?” Faster than the speed of sound. “Hell no. I can read your body language.” “How the- I'm not doing anything!” Forget that. Faster than the speed of light. “Your right hand is on the edge of reaching for your Beretta, your pupils are warily glancing towards my forehead every 5 seconds and your eyes are glazed over and distant. Trust me, I know what you're thinking.” At this point Jak's heart decided to wrench itself out of his chest, leap out of his comically agape mouth and make a run for it. Metaphorically that is. If the above had really happened, he wouldn't be alive now... Indeed, Jak found himself honestly thinking that that would be an altogether more pleasant alternate reality. But for the moment, he was stuck with this one. He let out a string of expletives which ended up sounding so exotic that Jak wouldn't be surprised if Gecko was now convinced that he could speak some sort of alien language... Which no doubt, he would be able to understand. “Wolf?” “What now? Am I subconsciously signaling that I want to kill you again?” “No.” “I was just going to say, because this time I actually do.” “Great; that's all I really need, another person who wants me dead and buried...” “How can you blame me? It's not like you're that particularly friendly to anyone in particu... Wait, did you just say ANOTHER person?” “Slip of the tongue.” “Yeah. Sure. Just a slip... A Freudian slip. What the heck is going on?” “You know what.” “No I don't.” “Well, if we don't hurry up, you certainly will know. And it won't be pretty. So, can you come over here and confirm this?” “Sigh. I can't win with you. What exactly do you want me to confirm then?” “This.” Gecko pointed pointedly towards the body sprawled on the floor. The position he lay in was extremely creepy, almost as if they were locked inside a video game and the physics engine had glitched up. Yeah. That's it, Jak. Convince yourself that this stupid life is nothing but the campaign of Call of Duty 27: Black Ops 11. Because a CoD campaign could really be this realistic... Thought not. “Well, uh, he's definitely dead, if that helps?” “No kidding Sherlock... What I meant to say was, do you recognize this guy?” “Nope.” “Because I do. This is the man that was, a few hours ago; lying in the back of the ambulance I was driving.” “Wait, wasn't he-” “Yeah. This is the man that was, a few hours ago; lying DEAD in the back of the ambulance I was driving.” ((Also, I'm curious, would you say my writing is a bit too sweary? xD)) | 2012-01-20 19:15:00 Author: abyssalassassin Posts: 717 |

I'm planning on my next post to involve, Jak, Gecko, The Sniper and Heather, although you want Jak and Gecko to carry some body to a prison?)) | 2012-01-21 00:43:00 Author: Dragonvarsity Posts: 5208 |

((War does that to people; plus they've both had extremely rough backgrounds where they've faced many "He/She dies or I do." situations, much more so than Ziggy or Dynamo. The body isn't a flashback, it's the body of the guy who followed them into the tunnel. And Gecko didn't call Wolf Jak once in that para...

| And Gecko didn't call Wolf Jak once in that para... ((Actually, it's the other way around. It looked as if Gecko called Jak Wolf, which seemed a bit odd to me, since, ya know. Anyway though, sorry if I haven't contributed much to Isaac, Rico, Alex, Zim and Ivon's sort of deal. I think continuing Heather's plot could help make things a bit more interesting, and I think once they get together with Ziggy and her crew, it should start rolling into motion. Anyway though, continuing for Heather)) The truck was pretty far away now. Despite being alone in god-knows-where, she never liked going directly on the trail, but being on the side, close by the trees. You could say it was an instinct of hers, but there's something she thought wrong, she wasn't really alone. There was a weird building, she didn't have a cluje why it was in the forest, but it looked like it bad been abandoned for over a decade. Not worth checking, Heather simply moved on. Steps later, large rock walls started appearing over on the right of the trail aswell. As she kept walking, she could see a cave by all this rock, an entrance sort of. She could hear people walking. Quickly she looked around, but then, she could tell, it was coming from the cave. Slowly, Heather got back some, hiding behind a large oak tree. First one man popped out, and then, another person popped out, although he looked like a teenager. She could see a body being dragged, which was her first sign to get the hell out of there. There was talking, definoitely some sort of chatting between the two although she couldn't hear what they said. She tried remaining still, and as the teenagger stopped to look around, she slowly brought her head back, behind the trees. Heather shifted her head over to the right some. She could see that building again, only, she saw something she didn't remember seeing,. Something blakc, on the top of the building. It was far away, and sort of blurry to her, but it looked as if.....it was pointing out. She could just barely see something poking out behind it, and could feel inside her that something bad was going to go down. Tilting her head back left some, she could see them continuing to drag the body some. It looked as if they were arguing, possibly to think of a quicker and more quiet away of dragging the body, but then the teenager stopped. The teenager could hear something, just barely, that neither Heather or, the adult stranger heard. the cocking, of a gun. Gecko looked behind him, to see a top of a faded red building, a sniper rifle, she pushed Jak over, back in the caver some, and leaving the dragged body out of the cave on the ground. Bullets kept whizzing forward. Heather tried to think how she'd be able to get out of there. On the good side, it looks like the sniper doesn't even know she's there. On the bad side, once she starts running, iff the sniper isn't able to take her down, the other two sure as hell will, but, she didn't have many options. Looking over, Heather could see one of the two, in the cave, pulling the pin of a grenade, while the sniper had to reload, and threw it as close as they could. It still only hit the ground, while the sniper remained on top of the building, but, luckily, it was one of their smoke grenades, and it went all over. The sniper couldn't see what was going on, and loaded things up, incase he had to chase them down. The smoke started moving toward Heather. She started running on the left side of the trail, as the adult and teenager ran out of the cave, on the right side of the road, leaving the body behind. Heather could hear a shot or two being fired around her way. They were outrunning the smoke, and it looks like one of them mujst've heard her. She kept running, trying to stray away some, without getting too far off the path back. running through the woods, straying away, but makming turns, going around. It was simple, Heather was lost, and had no idea what direction she was heading. The only instincts she had now was don't stop running, and don't get yourself shot. She grasped onto those two rules, only to hear the footsteps again, louder though, obviously closer, until she ran right into what looked like the same adult, with of course, the same teenager. ((If you ever got confused in the post, let me point out, Heather hasn't met Jak or Gecko, so Jak is associated as the stranger adult, while Gecko is associated as the stranger teenager.)) | 2012-01-23 12:30:00 Author: Dragonvarsity Posts: 5208 |
| ((GDN: LOL. Just, lol. Dragonvarsity: I think I said this a while ago, Wolf is Jak's codename. Jak is referred to as Jak only in narrative/descriptive/3rd person terms or when he's with Ziggy. If you've ever read the book Skullduggery Pleasant (((Fairly random, I know))) you'll know the whole "Real names are power." thing. If not, pretty much the whole concept is based on the fact that Jak is paranoid about karma and "What comes around goes around.". Therefore he rarely trusts people, Ziggy is an exception due to the fact that she risked her own life to save his, against stupid odds.)) | 2012-01-23 19:59:00 Author: abyssalassassin Posts: 717 |
| ((I haven't read the book, but I'll keep that in mind. The main reason I was confused wasn't that you used Jak's codename, Wolf, in the post, but how I was confused as it sounded as if Gecko was calling Jak Wolf whichdidn't make sense since Jak only trusts Ziggy with informaiton like that, and possibly previous people who either went behind his back, dissapeared, or both.)) | 2012-01-23 20:39:00 Author: Dragonvarsity Posts: 5208 |
| Alexa and Eve rushed throught the topelled building to try and reach those caught in the blast, dodging over crumbling glass and overturned desks and debris, but when they reached the atrium at the base, they were met with the small sounds of crumbling from the celing. "Someone got here before us. Blackout probably captured them." "So what does that mean?" "It means we have to find wherever they took them, or rather, you have to find where they took them." "You're not coming?" "I'm out of time, I have to find Jackson before they get what they want out of this city, or we're never going to find where they're keeping my father. Go with Zak and find where they took the other 3, i'll meet up with you after i've taken care of Jackson. Godspeed, Eve." And with that, Alexa ran off out of the building, lowering herself and moving more quietly across the sidewalks, as more blackout started advancing towards the center of the city. As she approached another intersection she saw another squad of Blackout running for where she had just left; There was 3 of them, and one stopped suddenly as the other 2 bolted off. It was likely that he'd heard something, but if it was her or not that was within earshot was yet to be seen. Alexa quickly siezed what opportunity she could and took cover behind a car on the side of the road, waiting for the trooper to get closer so that she could take him by suprise. He moved in closer peeked over the car, as Alexa pounced and grabbed his neck while sliding him closer over the roof of the car and pinning him to the ground. "Where is Jackson?" "Go to h-" "Wait, hold that thought." She pulled out her knife and held it to the man's neck before continuing. "Alright, proceed." "Go to hell." Alexa then proceeded to flip him over onto his stomach and smash his head against the edge of the sidewalk, making an imprint on his forehead. "What were you saying? "I was saying get the ******* off me you *********." As fast as she could, Alexa pulled out her magnum and fired four times into his leg, imediately causing him to speak. "AAAAGH, Top of the old Sega building!" She wasted no time after there was the information she needed, as the gunshots definitely caused some attention towards her. Before the sounds of footsteps were heard in around the corner, she was gone, determined to finish what she started. ((I did promise this post for friday, but stuff.)) | 2012-01-24 06:15:00 Author: Merc Posts: 2135 |
| Jackson put on his special Blackout uniform with disgust. It was like Microsoft's uniform, but slightly more armored and much less stylish. His had a bit more armor which made it look even more horrendous. He was surprised by the weight and nearly fell to the floor. He grunted as he got up and looked into a mirror. If he was careful and stealthy, moving from building to building, he might be able to reach the old SEGA HQ before... A door slammed open, making Jackson jump a bit. "Johnson?", he said, turning around, before being interrupted by a knife pressed up again his throat. Jackson studied its wielder carefully for a second, the came to a conclusion to who it was. "Alexa?" "How do you know who I am?", the blonde haired girl knife wielder of doom said. Jackson liked to give his enemies funny nicknames and he thought that fit. "Keep your friends close, your enemies closer?", Jackson said, a sarcastic grin under his mask. "But I don't even know who you are!", the blonde haired girl knife wielder of doom said. Jackson thought for a moment about how that nickname was a bit too long then went back to the manner at hand. "Then why didn't you kill me right away?", Jackson asked. "You looked important. Maybe you have some information?" the dumb bimbo said. "Yeah, I know that you won't dare kill me", Jackson said. "I just snapped four necks, slammed someone into a sidewalk then shot them in the leg four times, and knocked someone out with a rusty spoon. What makes you think I won't kill you once I'm done?", she said, eyebrow raised. Jackson noted the dossier on Alexa was dreadfully inaccurate. "What do..do you want?" Jackson said, his inner coward slowly rising. "Jackson's location. Some soldier told me he was on the roof of SEGA HQ. Caught a glimpse of it. It doesn't have a roof anymore. You have any suggestions?", suddenly intimidating knife wielding badass asked. Jackson was thankful he had a mask on. "Um...well...", Jackson said before a horrible high pitched scream pierced his ears. "Oh nonono!", Jackson yelled, covering his ears. "What's happening!", no longer as intimidating knife wielding badass asked, dropping her knife and becoming no longer as intimidating badass. "The Faithville Incident all over again!", Jackson yelled. "What?!" "It's about to all go to hell!" | 2012-01-24 23:11:00 Author: Testudini Posts: 3262 |

You said a soldier told Alexa Jackson wa son the roof of a Sega HQ Building, even though she's talking to Jackson, after it sounded like he was about to get to the roof of an old Sega Building......Evil twin mixup?))

| Heather stood there, with the man pointing a gun at her. The teenager came over, searching her, if she had any. He was able to find a gun, although it was empty. He handed it over to Jak, remaining silent. Jak: *smirk* "And I thought Dynamo failed to come prepared.." Heather: "Who?" Jak: "None of your *****ing business....Why were you out here anyway? One of those mindless recruits they sent out to see if they could find anything, trying to spy on us, well? Jak came closer to Heather, one hand with his gun which he lowered, raising another hand with a knife he pointed at her. Heather: "I know who you think I'm working for, but I'm not-" Jak: "Can it. You don't know what I think. I could be on any side. They all associate the others as 'enemies'." Gecko took out a piece of paper, examining what appeared to be a poem on it. Jak: "What is it?" Before Gecko could answer, Jak's phone started ringing. Gecko continued looking at the slip of paper as Jak answered his phone. Ziggy: "Jak?" Jak: "Yeah?" Ziggy: "It's....Ziggy." Jak: "Are you out of the freaking cave yet?" Ziggy: "Yes, and Dynamo's still in one piece." Jak: "Lemme guess, you wanna see how I'm doing?" Ziggy: "I could use my time a lot better then that. But sure, I could see how Gecko's doing. Jak: "Gecko, take the ph-" Heather tried quickly cutting in as he tried passing over the phone. Heather: "PLEASE, MY NAME IS HEATHER, TALK TO ISAAC AND RICO, I WORK WITH THEM FOR SONY." Jak dropped the knife and slapped Heather hard on the face. Gecko took the phone, and put the note in his pocket. Ziggy: "The hell was that?" Gecko: "Someone was spying on us..." Ziggy: "Hmm.....I'll uhm..get back to you guys...I need to make a call." Jak went over to Gecko, and snatched the phone from him. Jak: "Don't you even think I'm honestly gonna let this person go because I get the go-ahead from some random stranger, or, that lunatic Rico." Ziggy: "Jak, if this girl knows Isaac and Rico, she's mine to handle. Even if they do say yes, we can take her down to the base." Jak: "Yeah, and what if Rico and Isaac are getting played by her, and then she can know our location, and then-" Ziggy: "Easy. Get something to blindfold her with, then she won't know where the hell she is. Deal?" Jak: *frustrated* "Deal. Just get back A.S.A.P." Gecko wrapped a blindfold around Heather's eyes, and they started walking. Gecko took one more look at the note, seeing a number on the back. ----------------------------- The sniper had lost them. He had looked around, but they were nowhere to be seen. Of course though, he couldn't go back with nothing. As he was driving around, he saw something strange. Something had been pointing out, downhill. He drove around in the forest, and found what appeared to be a Blackout truck that was left there. His phone then rang. Stranger back at hidden place: "Well, what's the news?" Stranger in forest: "I saw him, he was with someone else, dragging someone. But he got away." Stranger back at hidden place: What? *angered voice* Stranger in forest: "The one with him, looked like a teenager, got in the way. But, I did find something, a truck nearby. blackout. I think we're being followed..." | 2012-01-27 14:40:00 Author: Dragonvarsity Posts: 5208 |

| (( :colossus: )) Isaac: Rico, you still haven't said where are we supposed to be meeting Ziggy by the way... Rico: Where I am going to be meeting her, you mean? Isaac: Why can't we come along? Rico: Because for the time being, I need someone to proceed with the intel-gathering. Alex: Isn't Kate supposed to be doing that? Rico: I mean physical intel. She's just a hacker... You need to find out what you can about GDN. Zim: That seems nice, but where are we going to start? Rico, Well, the Microsoft Offices, where they hold all their information... Zim: Well, if that's so, won't it be, ya know, heavily guarded or something? Rico: Probably. But you are an experienced thieve... Zim: Drifter. Rico: ...drifter, and I'm sure you will find a way in. With that said, Rico grappled onto a nearby building and disappeared in the cityscape. Alex: Well, what else there's to do? --------------------------------- The gang found themselves close to the building, but stopped by a military blockade. Isaac: Excuse me, but what is going on here? Why can't we get through? Soldier: With all the current events, the commander decided to reinforce the security at all critical buildings. You live in one of the buildings within the blockade? Isaac: Uhh, yes... Yes, we do, and our stuff it's in our apartment. Can we go get it? Soldier: Ok, but don't take time! The group was granted access to the area near the building, but it still wasn't at reach. They reached a second blockade, this time stronger, with fences and even tanks protecting the area. Isaac: Sorry, sir, we live in an apartment past this blockade, can we get in? Soldier: Nobody is getting past here without authorization! If you live there, you'll have to find somewhere else and deal with it! The group backed off, and hid inside a nearby construction site. The place was deserted, so they used the chance to discuss a plan. Alex: Ok, you had a nice try Isaac, but it didn't work! Isaac: I know, I know! Let me rethink... Zim: Guys... Actually, just stay here. I got an idea. With that said, Zim proceeded to run upstairs, towards the roof of the site. The others followed in curiosity. She reached a point where there was no stairs, but it still wasn't high enough. Isaac: Excuse me, but what are you going to do now? You ran out of stairs. Zim: Actually, stairs are for the weak. Zim then began to climb and shimmy her way to the top by using the scaffolding on the sides of the construction. She then disappeared in her way to the top. Alex: Tell me that I'm not the only one that thinks this girl is crazy. ------------------------------------------- Zim finally reached the last level, quite exhausted by the climb. She looked around and stared at the magnificent view of the skyline and the mountains far away. Then her look turned to the target building. She glanced at the buildings between them, pretended to calculate a route, then climbed on top of a crane that was suspended towards these buildings. Slowly walking on top of it, she saw a pile of mattresses on the roof of the building below her. She then ran, jumped, and landed on top of it safely. Zim: Heh. Still got it. Surprised by her own capacities, she began to hop from roof to roof and finally to a window cleaning platform on the side of the MS Office building. Zim looked through the window that mirrored her face in front of the horizon, seeing that ahead of her was a storage room, filled with cleaning and reform products. Zim: That's convenient... She slowly opened the window and got inside, the dead silence surrounding her. Zim: Here goes nothing... ((TO BE CONTINUED... TOMORROW!))

| ((Thanks for continuing it for us some. I'll see what I can do for Isaac, Alex and Ivon. I deifnitely know they won't be able to do what Zim just did, at least, not Ivon xD)) | 2012-01-31 13:02:00 Author: Dragonvarsity Posts: 5208 |
| Zim took cover by the door, and silently opened it. It lead to an empty corridor that seemed to go from one side of the building to another. She sneaked through it and stopped as soon as she heard a voice. Zim moved as fast as a bolt inside the nearest room and closed the door quickly. After regaining her breath, she analyzed where she was, an empty room with construction tools, like boards, paint buckets and ceiling tiles. The latter caught her attention, as she looked up and noticed the ceiling was, in fact, open. She used a pile of boards to climb onto it and get inside an open vent. ------------------------------ o As she crawled through the tight space, she couldn't stop looking at the rooms below her. All of them were undergoing maintenance. Zim: Microsoft sure likes to keep their buildings like new... She stopped at a different place, which seemed like a server room. To check for anybody, she took a penny out of her pocket and threw it down from the vent. A minute later and nobody had showed a sign of life, so she took the grate out and dropped onto the floor below. The large computers that filled the room made an eerie sound, giving the whole building a moody atmosphere. She looked through the glass door onto the office room in front of her. It was empty as the rest of the building. Zim: Must be my lucky day... Actually, this day is too lucky for my tastes... Zim proceeded to turn on the first computer she could get her hands on, but it requested a password. Zim reminded of Kate, and contacted her on radio. Zim: Kate, you there? It's Zim. Kate: Zim? Wait, you are the sackgirl that was with Rico and the others, right? Is he ok? Zim: To be fair, I don't know, we got separated. But forget him for a while and help me out with ths, will ya? I'm in MS Office and I'm trying to access a terminal here, but it required a password. Kate: What do you want it for? Zim; Just trying to give the man a help with the GDN case, now will you help me? Kate: Ok, which terminal you using? Zim: Number 56, floor... I don't know really, but in the middle of the building. Kate: Ok, give me a time to search for any computers that might match. Zim stood there for 2 minutes, anxiously looking around to see if anybody was coming and telling Kate to hurry. Finally, she answered. Kate: Ok, try the following password: 14jd93jh4. Zim: Typing and... Nothing. Kate: Then try s983hd84f. Zim: Still nothing. It also gave me a warning telling that if I enter the wrong password again the building alarms will sound. Are you sure you doing it right? Kate: Hey, you could have checked which floor were you in, couldn't you? Ok... Try m2ss983d. Zim typed the password, closed her eyes and pressed enter. The screen gave her a loading message for some seconds, then showed the work area. Zim: It worked! Kate: See? If you need any help, call me again. Zim: I will. Zim searched the hard drive for anything related to GDN. The computer gave over 500 results, but all of them about his past. She filtered the results by date, and the most recently added intel was about when GDN went missing. She was almost losing her hope, but decided to search for "Blackout". One of the results gave a heat map of Blackout activities. Strangely, a small area was painted south of S?o Paulo, away from any other area. She looked into that area, and found intel on a city where Blackout members were spotted. Zim: Wait a minute... I know this place... She could recognize the places descripted in the documents. Zim took note of the city's location and proceeded to log out and head for the exit. | 2012-01-31 22:28:00 Author: gdn001 Posts: 5891 |
| ((Continuing the Faithville incident, finally.)) "IT'S IN MY HEAD, AAAAGH" "JUST... FIGHT IT!" Alexa stumbled across the road holding her head in agony, taking cover behind the building across the street and collapsing to the ground. Gunfire was heard all around and the soldier came running beside her. "What the- what the hell is happening?" "The Faithville incident, it's happening again." "What can we do then?" "We have to stop Genesis." "Why... *******ing hell... why should I trust you?" "Look at your options right now, miss. Whole town's been mind *******ed and you don't know where to go to stop her." Before she could respond, they heard screaming coming from around the corner and heading towards them, weapons likely in hand. It grew louder, and started being heard in the distance, along with gunfire and complete chaos. Alexa gathered the strength and pulled herself up, along with the soldier and pushed him in front of her to lead the way, as the battle in the city changed from a battle of two sides, to an all out free for all. ((Short but i'm (still) not in the mood to write at the moment.)) | 2012-02-01 05:57:00 Author: Merc Posts: 2135 |
| This was quite the situation Jackson found himself in. He wasn't sure if it was good or bad, but he wasn't fond of being stuck with Alexa. For the time being, the mask he had on hid his identity, but would that last forever? "So who's this Genesis?" Alexa yelled over the chaos. Jackson didn't respond. He was too busy considering wetting his pants. "Hey, I sa-" Alexa said before being interrupted by a door slamming into her. She fell onto the glass covered floor, giving her plenty of cuts and bruises. "Son of a-" she grumbled before being kicked aside. Jackson turned around to see Johnson staring at him. A super soldier, genetically enhanced to defeat any foe, staring at him straight in the face. Jackson gulped. "Hey Jackie. how's it going?" Johnson said, in a strangely happy tone. "Your name's Jackie?" Alexa giggled through the agonizing pain that enveloped her body. "Oh, who are you?" Johnson asked, turning around. Jackson looked around and found a sharp piece of glass on the floor. It reflected his mask, reminding him underneath it was a very handsome face that should stay intact. He took a deep breath and picked it up. "Did the little girl get a boo boo?" Johnson giggled, throwing the door off Alexa. "Let Uncle Johnson make you all better..." Jackson lunged onto Johnson and stabbed. Unfortunately, it didn't go very deep. Johnson flinched and threw Jackson against a wall. "Playing tough eh?" Johnson said, his creepily happy tone being replaced by a dark serious one. "I don't like tough..." Alexa stumbled onto her feet and threw a nearby vase at the giant wad of muscle. "Pick on someone your own size", she said, wiping blood off of her mouth. Johnson turned around and charged at Alexa, slamming her into a wall. She yelled in agony. This reminded Jackson that he liked having all of his bones intact, causing him to get off his rear and into the heat of action. He took his gun out of its holster and threw it at Johnson. The guy didn't seem to notice, and Jackson realized he used it completely wrong. The so called 'genius' looked around and saw an old TV, shining like a glorious bacon covered statue made of death. With no time to waste, Jackson picked up the TV (something he was surprised he was capable of) and slammed it into Johnson's back. The super soldier released his grip and turned around to face Jackson. Alexa used this moment of chance and pulled out her gun. "I'll see you in hell you ****," she said before firing three shots into Johnson's skull. He screamed an almost alien scream and fell down. "See, I told him to wear a helmet. Never listened," Jackson said, wiping dust off his pants. "You okay?" "No," Alexa said, sliding down the wall and onto the floor. "This sucks big time." "Look on the bright side, it can only get worse!", Jackson said sarcastically, following Alexa in her wall sliding. "Do you need medical aid?" "I think all of my organs and bones have been mixed into a fine soup but besides that I'm fine", Alexa chuckled. Jackson found himself feeling sad for Alexa, and this was coming from the man who spent a decade doing horrible experiments on teenagers just so SEGA could have a chance to return to the market. "I know it hurts, but we have to move on," Johnson said, offering his hand. Alexa grabbed it with a sigh. "You know, I'm starting to like you Jackie", Alexa said with a smirk rising from her depressed filled face. Jackson found himself smiling. "Even if you have a girl's name." The smile quickly retreated into a scowl. | 2012-02-01 07:00:00 Author: Testudini Posts: 3262 |
| Zim ran through the corridors, but they were different from the vents. She tried to recognize the door that lead to that storage room, but all of them looked the same. The sound of steps and talking coming from around the corner sent chills down her spine. She tried to open the first door in front of her, but it was locked. She finally kicked the door open, making a loud noise echo through the building. As she entered the room, the steps changed from a walk to running, getting closer. Zim quickly climbed up a pipe that was exposed, but it was too late. The two people that unfortunately were guards spotted her trying to escape through a hole in the wall. Guard: FREEZE!! Zim: No way, man! Zim jumped down and tackled both guards with her cane. As one of them started to get up, she ran out of the room and down the corridor. Guard: ATTENTION ALL UNITS! WE HAVE AN INTRUDER ON FLOOR 14!! Zim: Floor 14. Could have told that earlier... Zim tried to outrun the guards in the maze of corridors, but more of them would come out of anywhere she could even think of going. She made a turn and ran down a hallway, but this one ended at windows indicating that a fall to death was the next step. She noticed while running, though, that a platform wire hung outside, right in front of her. She went though the glass, sending glass shards everywhere, and hooked her cane to the wire, sliding down the wire and onto the platform. Finally with some time to recover, she looked for an alternative exit. Zim: I knew things were going too smoothly... She looked down and noticed that the mirrors right below her formed an angle, which lead to the road. Across, there was a rooftop that was conveniently low. Zim jumped off the platform, slid down the mirrors and then leaped to the other side, rolling down the concrete roof 3 or 4 times before stopping. From down there, she could see the guards high up scanning for her, but without success. The path back was clear, or so she thought. | 2012-02-01 14:08:00 Author: gdn001 Posts: 5891 |

| Jackson and Alexa weaved through the buildings and ruins scattered throughout Faithville as the chaos got stronger. The smell of rotting flesh infiltrated the air as the fires began to break out. "This is just...wow...", Alexa said, practically speechless. "Y..yeah...", Jackson responded, his sudden burst of bravery now withered to nothingness. "So, where is this Genesis thing?", Alexa asked. Jackson remained silent for a second. He liked Alexa, sure. She helped him get this far and he'd probably be bleeding out in a dumpster without her, but this was his life's work! He sighed. "That old SEGA HQ you mentioned", Jackson answered. "But it's swarming with Blackout soldiers!", Alexa protested. "I am a Blackout soldier", Jackson pointed out. ((Reminding you guys he's in a slightly more protected Blackout soldier uniform, so Alexa wouldn't know any better.)) "So you're just going to leave me?", Alexa said, stopping in her tracks. "That's the plan. Now if we can just move on...," Jackson started to say before being interrupted by a gun in his face. "Then you're no use to me", she growled. Jackson suddenly remembered she was a cold hearted *****. "What a-are you doing? P-put the gun down!" Jackson asked, slowly raising his hands. "Jackie's a nickname, isn't it? That guy seemed important, and he seemed to know you. Man I feel stupid", Alexa said, shaking her head. "Take off the mask." Jackson reluctantly put his hand over the mask and pulled it off, revealing his pale and bony face. "Son of a *****", Alexa cursed. "Well, let's get things started with a bang eh?" Before Jackson could utter a word, Alexa pulled out a knife and jammed into his thigh. -------- Edin wandered aimlessly. He looked left, right, up, down (which revealed that he was naked), but it all looked the same. Endless green, occasional tree. Over and over. He sighed. "I think from this day on, if I ever see a burning plane crashing and someone jumping out of it into the ocean, I'll just keep on walking," he thought aloud, followed by a dramatic sigh. "They all have to die Edin", an ominous voice said. The rich boy turned around to see the blue figure again. "What?", Edin asked. "Michael, Genesis, the devices. You're next to useless so you can remain on living, but the rest have to go," the figure explained. "What? You're telling me to kill my friend? Before you go bossing me around, how about you tell me who you are?", Edin asked. "I am Genesis." "I feel like I'm suppose to be shocked here but I really don't know who Genesis is", Edin said. "Care to explain?" "The powers you and Michael possess, they only partially come from your bodies. The rest is Genesis. I'm an older model, but part of my mind still lingers", the figure explained in his deep monotone voice. "What are you saying?", Edin said, stomping a foot forward. He liked being dramatic. "You never finished your father's journal, did you? It's still on you if I recall. Read it, you'll find it quite fascinating", the figure chuckled. Before Edin could ask anymore questions, it all went black. | 2012-02-02 07:08:00 Author: Testudini Posts: 3262 |

| "AAAAAGH, WHAT THE HELL?" "I am not playing this game anymore, Jackson. you're going to tell me where Eric is before I do what you did to me 2 years ago." "Huh?" "Don't even try it." "Wait, what?.. I just saved your life... Johnson was going to kill you..." "You also destroyed it for 2 weeks. 2 weeks in nothing but agony. You were never in my position, you have NO IDEA WHAT I WENT THROUGH. Now, how about I just put revenge on hold for the moment while you tell me where Eric and my father are." "You won't be able to stop him..." Alexa crouched down and looked into Jackson's eyes while silently pushing the knife further into his leg... Silently for a moment anyway. "GAAAAAAAH... Alexa...you don't need to do this ..." "Answer the question please." "...He always said you seemed so innocent..." "I'm going to lose my temper." "630 km SW of Cairo... 5303, Krakowiak." "Apreciate it. " She stood up, and held Jackson to the ground with her boot, yorranking the knife out and leaving him on the ground, with suprisingly little agony "You'll get scooped up by your buddies, but until then, enjoy your stay." | 2012-02-03 06:44:00 Author: Merc Posts: 2135 |

The walls are purple, the lights are bright, and a variety of stickers are everywhere. It makes you sick to your stomach. You look around and see a dead bird in the cage by yours. http://i471.photobucket.com/albums/rr79/UltimateClay/1-2.png This does not bode well. You hear what sounds like a fight behind the wooden door right by you. That door doesn't make you feel safe. It opens towards you, and could potentially knock your cage off the table it's on if it ever does. You need to get out of here. As the disturbance begins to get louder, you begin to wonder what could be going on. http://i471.photobucket.com/albums/rr79/UltimateClay/2-1.png "Let's make this more interesting eh?" a female voice says. You recognize the voice but fail to pin it to a name. "It's a sword blindy!" the voice yells. You don't know who Uhsord is but he doesn't sound like a nice guy. You realize you're getting off track and return to the matter at hand. http://i471.photobucket.com/albums/rr79/UltimateClay/3-1.png The cage seems pretty escape proof.

You resume accepting your doom. ------------ YOU ARE NOW MICHAEL Michael slashed but hit nothing. He felt a sharp pain in his hip and fell to his knees. "I'm so sorry", the man continued to repeat over and over. Michael slashed his sword upward and somehow managed to parry an incoming blow. He stumbled onto his feet and made a stabbing motion. He heard a scream and then a thump. "Well...that was anti-climactic", Adabelle said, obviously disappointed. "Well, I guess Michael wins!" The crowd cheered which made Michael feel even worse. He had taken part in their sick game. Sure, he didn't really have a choice but that didn't make him feel any better. He sighed as someone came to lead him back to his cell. ------------ YOU ARE NOW THE TURTLE (AGAIN) http://i471.photobucket.com/albums/rr79/UltimateClay/5-1.png Yep, still accepting your doom.

| ((This one is from Pete/Micheal/Edin's perspective before the incident, with them getting captured by the Blackout guys, and how they ended up in Adabelle's hands.)) The soldiers pushed the trio along with force down the street, but they were in a hurry, and didn't even take the time to restrain their hands, or even take Pete's rifle. "You know, I didn't do anything, why don't you just let me go?" "..." Pete stared over into Edin's eyes as if to say 'I'm going to kill you slowly'. One of the soldiers jammed his gun into Edin's back and caused a slight grunt of agony, and forced him to move further towards wherever they were taking the 3 of them. Things were quiet for a minute, aside from the dragging of feet on the cold hard ground of the downtown, until moments later when the screaming broke the silence. Within seconds, everything changed. It echoed through the city and everyone started holding their heads in immense pain. Most of the troopers collapsed to the ground in pain, and Pete would've utilized the opportunity had he not been in complete shock himself. Micheal and Edin tried to fight off the feeling inside their heads. Edin seemed to be succeeding in the battle, and Micheal slowly ascending from the ground again, but Pete couldn't get a hold of himself, and was slowly beginning to go insane. Edin got up and tried to help him up, but Pete didn't have any of it and swatted him away right before stumbling away from them in exteme agony and falling to his knees, then face first into the pavement while Edin and Micheal remained in a state of awe.

| ((Just to avoid confusion, this is happening one day before Clay's posts that have Edin in them. So, before Michael's arena fiasco and Edin's dream with the old Genesis.)) "What... is... HAPPENING!?!?" Edin thought to himself. "What is this wretched screaming?" Edin's vision was disorientated. He could barely see what was happening. He saw Pete on the ground, twisting and turning, holding his ears and appeared to be moving his mouth trying to yell. He saw a few Blackout Soldiers in the background wrestling each other to the ground. One Blackout Soldier had apparently lost his arm and was bleeding intensely. He glanced over at Michael who was completely emotionless. "Pretty standard." Edin thought. Edin was about to ask Michael something when Pete suddenly got up and jumped on a soldier's back. He started tearing the soldier's hair out and and was clawing at his face. "Jesus Christ! Get this guy off me!" the soldier screamed as he tried to grab Pete. Another soldier took the butt of his weapon and ran up and hit Pete in the forehead. Pete fell to the ground and stopped moving. Edin started screaming, "Ohgodohgodnostopohgod." "Shut up", Michael replied. "Shut up!? Pete just got knocked the ***** out! Oh God I had so many plans! I wanted to have two boys and a little girl. I wanted to live near the coast of Rio with a beautiful Brazilian model!" "Go", Michael said. "Go? What about Pete? We can't just leave him here!", Edin cried. "Bring him", Michael sighed. "I'll unknock him out, don't worry!", Edin said, punching Pete square in the face. "Sh*t! It didn't work. Plan B plan B!" Edin grabbed Pete by his legs and asked, "Any ideas Michael?" "Sega HQ." Michael said bluntly. "Ooookay... And I'm guessing it's that giant building waaaay over there?" Edin asked. Michael didn't reply, instead he just pointed at his blindfold. "Oh right. Must of slipped my mind." Edin said, clearly still disorientated. Edin and Michael began walking towards the HQ, dragging Pete who was still in immense pain, along the way. | 2012-02-05 07:57:00 Author: Whalio Cappuccino Posts: 5250 |
| Ivon sat down, as Isaac and Alex stood some, keeping watch. They didn't feel too safe, staying in this one area in New Natal. Ivon just stared at the scaffolding, past the edge of stairs, where someone must've been too lazy to continue them. Then, Ivon could see someone quickly shimmying back over. He nudged the others, and they knew it was Zim when they could see the cane on her back. Isaac kept watch as Alex and Ivon got ove,r incase she needed help. Zim. "Out of my way you two. *shove* I got spotted." Two bullets then flew by, one grazing the cap she had been wearing. Zim: "*****it, this is my favorite hat." More came up, and Ivon ducked, only to see the others past him, running, so he had to, once again, try and keep up. Ivon: "Sometimes I feel like there are too many action scenes for this to be real. Can't we just skip this, get past the explosions and save the president already?" Zim: *ignoring Ivon* "Unlike me, their men won't have to shimmy across. There's another path they'll probably be taking. We should be safe from gunfire for now, but not for too long." Isaac: "Did you get the information you needed?" Zim: "Of course." Alex: "So, how are we going to get out of this one then Zim?" (Expect a bigger-than-this-one-post-mainly-for-the-strangers, but it will cover some interesting things to come, involving Ivon, Jak, and in a way, everyone else, well, except Michael, Edin and Alexa maybe.) | 2012-02-07 22:46:00 Author: Dragonvarsity Posts: 5208 |
| ((My apologies for double post, but I wasn't sure about putting it all in one post, so, 'm this from the other one.)) ((*Same call between stranger back at hidden place and stranger in forest, meaning this was a little while ago*)) Stranger back at hidden place originally: "Followed?" Stranger in forest: "Yes. Followed. I'll keep my eye out. But don't worry, I can complete this mission. You'll just need to give me more time here, and I can ge tthe answers we need. Did you two go into Canniba?" Stranger back at hidden place originally: "Yeah, we're....here now." Stranger in forest? "And you found the house?" Stranger back at hidden place originally: "Yes, buut-" Stranger in forest: "Just-I'm curious, how the hell did you manage to know it would be buried there?" Stranger back at hidden place originally: "Remember when I got a job for Sony? Well, I got stuck as being an interviewer, had to interview some ******* named...Iken? Ivon, that's it. Anyhow, I was able to get a job in the same building as Isaac, ya know, the one who kept getting all those unreadable messages?" I put a tracker on his jacket, followed the coordinates to the multiple times he stopped in Canniba, and we dug around each area. Sadly, he took off his jacket, and put on a new one after it, but at least he kept the same one on going there, to Canniba. Stranger in forest: "Alright, so, have you guys been able to open the crate yet?" Stranger back at hidden place originally: *sigh* "You didn't let me finish. It's not here." Stranger in forest: "Wait, then-, how do you know if it even was buried there in the first place?!" Stranger back at hidden place originally: "It was here, but now it's not. Someone got to it before we did, and they left a...fortune cookie. Stranger in forest: "Can you tell me what it says inside?" Stranger back at hidden place originally: "Um...sure." He broken the fortune cookie open, and then found the little paper inside. Stranger back at hidden place originally: *Reading fortune* "When you "Jump In"to a Wolf's lair, you better expect it to bite back, protecting what you're after." Stranger in forest: "........Soo, is this supposed to lead us to Jak?" Stranger back at hidden place originally: "Well, it does say Wolf, and I guess "what we're after", would be the crate." Stranger in forest: "Great, so we've got someone who's stolen the crate we're after, and trying to play games with us?" Lady Stranger: *grabs phone for a second* "We have to get to it somehow...." *hands back* Stranger in forest: "Alright, but I'm still confused." Lady Stranger: "Wait, wait wait. You said this was in a fortune cookie, right?" Stranger back at hidden place originally: "Yep, it was..." Lady Stranger: "Then it must have the lucky numbers on the back. Flip it over for a second." Stranger back at hidden place originally: *flips over* If this is supposed to lead us to where it is, well, it's a weird way of hinting it." *starts reading* "28- Lady Stranger: "Wait, sorry but, can I take the phone for a second?" Stranger back at hidden place originally: "Sure." The woman takes it, and talks to the stranger back in the forest that Heather, Jak and Gecko were in aswell. Lady Stranger: "Where are you in?" Stranger in forest: "Texas." Lady Stranger: "And what's the 28th state?" Stranger in forest: "Uhm.." Lady Stranger: "..Texas." Stranger originally in hidden place: "Alright, we know Jak's in Texas, but you think the crate's suddenly been shipped there too? You think he's trying to get Jak involved somehow?" Lady Stranger: "I-I'm not sure yet, but if so, it must be a town somewhat near where he's in." ((she's talking about stranger in forest where Heather was)) Stranger in forest: "My turn this time. "Jump In", that's the motto for the Xbox, isn't it?" Stranger originally in hidden area: "Ding ding ding, we have a winner." Lady Stranger: "So then, Jak's hiding out in Microsoft territory then? And if we find Jak, the crate shouldn't be far off either?" Stranger in forest: "That's what we'll have to go by, I guess." | 2012-02-08 00:44:00 Author: Dragonvarsity Posts: 5208 |
| Jackson crawled towards a door, using the doorknob to pull himself on his feet. The knife didn't go very deep and didn't hit anything vital, so he wasn't worried about that. He was concerned that the unimaginable pain he was suffering would slow him down on his quest to Sega HQ. Wondering what to do, he looked around at his surroundings. His blood gave what appeared to be a kitchen a disturbingly creepy tone. He noticed a window and stumbled towards it. Behind it revealed the headquarters in all its glory, minus the roof which had collapsed. It was swarming with Blackout and Nintendo soldiers. He might be able to get in, but getting out was a different story. He grunted as he half threw himself towards a counter. He needed to stop the bleeding. He looked around and saw a napkin and a rubber band. After grabbing both of them, he dropped his pants (thankful he wore underwear that day) and put the napkin over the wound. It didn't stop it much, but it would have to do. He carefully brought the rubber band from his foot to the napkin and let go. As planned, the band tightened around the napkin, keeping it in place. He brought his pants back up and limped towards the door. With a dramatic swing, he opened it. Behind it was peace and calm, surprising Jackson. After walking around for a bit, he found a dead Blackout soldier. He took the fallen soldier's revolver, seeing as how Alexa had taken his pistol when she left him. He looked back at Sega HQ with a devilish grin. The beginning of the end would soon begin. ---- Fire. Screaming. No hope. Someone grabbed at him but he kicked the tortured soul back. Everyone screamed at him for help, but he ignored them all. Then Nick woke up. "You awake soldier?" someone screamed at him. "Y...yes sir!" Nick yelled back, stumbling onto his feet. "**** it get down!" the man said, dragging Nick down by grabbing his shirt. "What's going on?" Nick asked. "Sony's attacking!" the man yelled. Nick noticed the man's beard was stained with blood, then realized what he just said. "What?!" "They're wearing Sony uniforms, firing Sony weapons, and have a Sony accent. Kick me in the shins with spiked boots if they aren't Sony soldiers!" the man yelled, his messy black hair half covering his eyes. "Take this!" The man handed Nick a fire flower, which our hero promptly devoured. His uniform turned the standard white and red and his eyes became a burning orange. "**** son. You got some of those new implants?" the man asked. "Sort of. How bad is it?" Nick replied, tossing a fireball over the staircase which they called cover. "More came. On top of those eight super soldier guys, we got about thirty normal ones. If I didn't have ears, I'd assume we're the only fellas left. Isn't true now, but will be soon!" "So bad?" "Bad." Nick looked around, hoping for a means of escape. No way could they stay there forever. "What's behind there?" Nick asked, turning around to see the man had a bullet in his head. Nick weighed his options. He could hold out here for a little bit, but not forever. If he went to the door however, he'd be exposing himself. He felt the fire within draining, and took a deep breath. "Oh god oh god please don't shoot me", he screamed, sprinting towards the door. He fumbled for what seemed like forever with the door knob before opening it with a bang and closing it with an equally loud bang. ---- ((So that'll be the last Jackson post for a bit. Also, Sony declared war on Nintendo so we can finally get this war thing started! Keep in mind Nick is a day ahead of Rico, Isaac, Ivon, Alex, Zim, etc. though, so to them it hasn't started yet. Btw, if you guys don't want Sony starting a war, let me know and I'll make the soldiers Blackout or something.)) | 2012-02-08 03:44:00 Author: Testudini Posts: 3262 |

| ((Sorry I haven't posted recentley but I've been caught up with My GCSE Mocks at school and I am going to Wait for Zim to Rejoin [If GDN Wants her to] Alex,Ivon and Issac)) ((So have I and my post count is perfectly satisfacto- Oh. Right. Yeah. Anyway, to correct that here's another post. ))With a sudden bolt of excruciating pain, Ziggy woke up, her stance shifting to something distinctly frightened, but much less... human. Her vision was blurred and hazy, a darkened silhouette clouding her view of the darkened alley she seemed to be lying in. Suddenly, Dynamo's face came into focus and more importantly, the sight of him pulling back one of her fingers on her broken hand. The pain escalated and she flinched away; smashing her head once more on the brick wall she was resting against. “What the-” Dynamo started frantically making extravagant motions with his arms, which Ziggy vaguely concluded meant shut up. She complied with the order and attempted to sign something back. Judging by the look she received, it would have wasted less time to simply not do anything at all. “Why am I still alive?” Ziggy clutched her forehead absentmindedly; her words slurred. But somehow Dynamo understood her. “I have no idea.” “You killed the guy chasing us with a machete?” “Wha- There never was a guy chasing us with a machete.” “I'm pretty sure there-” “I'll say it again. There never was a guy chasing us with a machete. All I know is that you went mental and ran headfirst into that statue over there.” “Okay. So, if there's no machete guy, why are you acting so darn paranoid?” “Because you started screaming your lungs out and alerted the whole neighbourhood to our presence. And they don't look particularly welcoming.” “Why did you wake me up? You could have just dragged me here and left my body for them to find.” “Because for some reason you decided it be real fun to spaz out and have a fit. I might not care about you but I have morals.” “Morals. Yeah. So, do these morals include bending my entire broken hand back?” “Look at it this way, you're alive. But if you don't shut up you won't stay that way any longer. There's a whole squad of God-knows-who searching for us with AKs. And they don't look like the “Think before you shoot” type.” With those words, he carefully stood up, his walk now hunched and wary; a million miles away from his usual overconfident strut. “So, plan?” Ziggy was now asking Dynamo for advice. This was getting too weird... “Plan? What plan?” “Possibly one to get us out of this mess?” “That's your job.” “I thought it was Gecko's?” “Well, unless you've somehow gained Gecko's crazy superpowers.” Dynamo stopped and turned towards Ziggy, who briefly smiled. “Don't even try to answer that.” “Okay. What do we do now then?” Ziggy's face instantly lifted. Dynamo could almost feel an intense heat emanating from the sudden light bulb now metaphorically floating above her head. “We call Gecko... Or Jak, seeing as I don't know Gecko's number.” “It could give their position away.” “Let's just hope he's got the darn thing on silent then.” She didn't wait for a reply; her good hand fumbled around in her bag and she hastily pulled out an iPhone 16S. Even the bulletproof screen hadn't prevented the four inch crack which now ran down the side of it's casing. Bulletproof but not Ziggy proof it seemed. Dynamo had to laugh at that. “I'm sorry, do you actually want us to live another 24 hours?” She proceeded to give him her trademark stare, the one which the people she had asked tended to compare to being stabbed repeatedly in the chest. And those were people who had actually been stabbed repeatedly in the chest before, so it wasn't as much exaggeration as honesty. He looked away sheepishly, resting his perfectly fine left hand against the back of his head. This just made her hate him even more. Ziggy absentmindedly checked her watch; it was 5 O’clock in the morning exactly, trusting that the dam thing hadn't stopped for the umpteenth time in a row. She turned her gaze back to the Apple device back in her hand, swiping across the slimline black glass for a few seconds and selected Jak's number. After five minutes of frustratedly trying to get through, she had almost given up when he finally answered. They talked for a couple of minutes before she realized what she had truly called him to discuss. “I need to speak to– bzzzt – Geck- bzzt.” She was cutting out, maybe the wreckage had impaired the phone's signal. But technology was so advanced now, that didn't make any- sense. She turned to Dynamo. “I think my phone's been tapped.” Her voice was inexpressive but her face conveyed more than any amount of words ever could. “Yeah. It have.” That wasn't Dynamo's voice... And it wasn't hers either. It belonged to the owner of two meaty hands, one of each resting on their outer shoulders. “What do you say that you two come with me?” “Move when I tell you to, okay?” “This isn't possible.” That was Gecko's voice. How the hell had he managed to...? “On three, two...” There was no mistaking it. That was definitely Gecko's voice. “Yeah, it is. You two are coming with m-” And the guard was completely unaware. Maybe she was hallucinating... “ONE!” And maybe that hallucination could save her life. Her fist swung round and powerfully smashed down onto the brute's left shoulder, her fingers twisting the nerve next to his bone. He roared in pain and fell over, his senses broken by the ancient martial art known as dim mak. The recipient feebly leant over in pain and promptly sank to his knees, pitifully moaning, his senses completely shut down. “Did you hear-” “I wasn't imagining it?” “Imagining what, Gecko's voice?” “Yeah, that. And Dynamo?” “Yeah?” “RUN!” “Remember the last time you said-” He didn't need to think twice, let alone once. They began to wildly sprint towards the other entrance and to Ziggy's surprise, there was no-one blocking it. Finally, a bit of luck. They emerged into the fresh air- and were promptly grabbed by an even more brutish brute waiting stealthily round the corner. He the the weakly struggling Dynamo to another person and he was roughly tied up and thrown into the back of a beaten up white van; at least she thought it had originally been a white van, it's paint was now flaky and faded to a muddy colour. She was held firmly against the wall, the hulk's right hand clamped firmly around her neck. A weird sense of deja-vu lingered in the back of her mind, but she swiftly dismissed it. After he watched his colleague toss a helpless Dynamo in the back of the old Transit, he turned back, his eyes twisted and bleak of any emotion. Apart from hatred. Ziggy could tell that he had a lot of that. And he'd need to release it sometime... “That wasn't very nice, now was it?” She attempted to stare him down menacingly but he just laughed humourlessly and spat tauntingly in her face. “Time you got a taste of your own medicine.” He took her by surprise; the lumbering, mass of rippling muscle reacting as swiftly as a ninja on speed. His palm struck her left shoulder, his index finger digging deep into her nerve and twisting. She cried out in agony as the pain overtook her body and caused her to violently throw up. Her body went limp and she hit the deck, hard. And they didn't need to bind her wrists or ankles like they had Dynamo. She had just let them take her. She didn't know where she was and had no remembrance of the time of the day. But even more important than that; she had just let them take her. Ziggy curled up in a fetal position and went to sleep. | 2012-02-10 20:41:00 Author: abyssalassassin Posts: 717 |
| YOU ARE NOW THE TURTLE http://i471.photobucket.com/albums/rr79/UltimateClay/8-1.png You are not a fan of crawling through vents. You're normally use to walking on two legs, so your 'arms' aren't really that good support. Right now you're kinda just pushing yourself forward with your 'legs'. This isn't going anywhere. After what seems like forever, you reach another grate. You look through it. http://i471.photobucket.com/albums/rr79/UltimateClay/9.png The room you see is drastically different than the one you left. It seems someone digged a giant hole in the wall, with wooden planks acting as walls. The floor is just dirt and stone. On the far side of the room, there's a computer. A pillar rests in the middle. It appears to be a modified version of the one at Sega HQ that stopped the test subjects from killing everyone. Before you accidentally unplugged it anyways. Doctor Henry will be missed. The grate seems loose and you easily ram it open. You crawl out of it and resume being a bipedal. Looking around, you decide to head to the computer first. You hop up on the chair. http://i471.photobucket.com/albums/rr79/UltimateClay/10.png Dear Shigeru Miyamoto this is the most comfortable thing your rear has ever had the pleasure to feel ever since you jumped into a tub of cotton candy. You observe the keyboard. You can understand English, you can think in English, but hell if you can read English. Quoting a famous play, it's Greek to you. You don't even really know why you're here. Maybe you should shut down the pillar? You decide to do just that and start mashing random buttons. Letters start appearing on a black screen on the monitor but nothing besides that happens. You look towards the floor and see the actual computer. Part of its case is missing, which isn't very safe for a room like this. Perfect for you though. You reluctantly jump off the chair and walk up to the case. You take a big breath and spit in it. You miss and hit a dead rat. Why there's a dead rat in here you don't want to know. You take aim again and fire. You hit a big thing and it starts to spark. Then the pillar begins to spark. You take this as a bad sign and run out of the room. http://i471.photobucket.com/albums/rr79/UltimateClay/11.png You hear an explosion and fly forward at an alarming speed. You wish you were wearing sunglasses. | 2012-02-10 21:43:00 Author: Testudini Posts: 3262 |

We runto the right, downhill to where those trucks were parked. We can use it for both cover, and, target practice. We then go right by the tubes, head into the unfinished building, and get the hell out of here." Alex: "Well, that works for the two of you....."

| ((Your prayers have been answered... Maybe...)) "Uff... This guy is heavy..." "Weak." Edin finally stopped his complaining after Micheal's small interpretation of his strength. The both of them continued dragging Pete along, without further conversation or complaints, until Micheal sudenly started slowing his pace, before coming to a full stop a minute later. "Wait." "Micheal..." Micheal remained silent, still staring off into what seemed liked nothingness. "Micheal don't do this to me." Edin shot his head around from side to side, looking for any kind of disturbance for at least a minute. There didn't seem to be any immediate threat, until he darted his gaze towards Micheal, who was being held at gunpoint. "Hands up." Edin complied. "Who are you, and what are you 3 doing?" "..." "Answer or you'll both end up with a bullet in your heads." Edin was about to answer, but he somehow managed to build up the strength to fight back, even if it was stuttered. "You don't... fool me. I kno- know that you want him alive." "Fine. I'll just shoot you instead." The attacker pulled the gun away from Micheal and fired one bullet right into the right of Edin's chest, taking him completely by suprise, and his body falling limp to the ground while he held his wound. Before he blacked out, he heard the sound of the female attacker blabbing orders to the other members of the gang that started showing up. "Bring them all to the base, I want to make sure that those other 2 are still breathing..." He wasn't sure if it was the end, but the intense pain and darkness would prove that it was. ----------------------- Alexa moved around the chaotic city, with no specific goal in mind, but trying to find the remnants of her squad none the less. She stopped in her tracks for a moment as a sound overhead starting coming in closer. She clung to the shadows but kept a vigilant eye in the sky, hoping to see Zak's falcon passing overhead, searching for her; instead there was someone else searching for her, a smaller helicopter with a searchlight, labelled with a faint Sony logo, that looks to have been slightly painted over or covered up. The first thing that came to her mind that it was a rogue agent, trying to investigate the city against orders, but Sony didn't even know that Faithville existed, which left only one other option to her, knowing the only person that would have any idea where she was getting off to, and didn't want to be tagged as Sony. "Mom?" ((If you are paying attention, or read TCW IV, then you'll know who that is.)) | 2012-02-14 06:20:00 Author: Merc Posts: 2135 |
| The drowned out sound of lumbering footsteps rang out inside the dilapidated hallway, echoing harshly off the steel plated walls and boomeranging back into Ziggy's eardrums. Was this just a lucid dream? She didn't know. Could she wake up? She didn't know. She didn't even care. Ziggy felt weak at the knees just thinking that. Throughout life she had always needed something, someone, anyone to fight against. And now that something was gone, she couldn't understand what her true purpose was or if there even was one at all. To distract herself from this sudden feeling of powerlessness, she began to examine the corridor they were being led through. She ran her hand against the cool metal surface on her right. The freezing surface brushed against her palm and she braced herself for what was about to come next. Ziggy could distantly hear the guard behind her order her to stop but she carried on regardless, the sensation calming. She smashed her hand down against the paneling and the sound echoed in the passage, making her feel nauseous and she threw up, again. What was this, the seventh time? She didn't know. Raucous laughter filled her ears and she was grabbed by her collar, dragged the length of the corridor and flung in an empty boxroom, roughly four by four in length. She landed badly and swiftly rolled to absorb the pain; coming to a halt to watch a screaming, struggling Dynamo get the same treatment. The door slammed shut and the sound reverberated brutally inside the makeshift cage, making her feel even worse. Dynamo dived out of the way hastily once he realized what would come next. “What the hell was that for?” She couldn't deal with his stupid questions... Not now, anyway. “To check if the walls were hollow, what else?” Her voice was pained and quiet, it seemed that Dynamo noticed the change in behaviour and didn't speak for nearly an entire minute. When he did eventually speak, his voice was wavering and uncertain. “Oh, uh, right. Good thinking...” He stared blankly at the door; the five inches of solid metal stopping their outbreak, Ziggy had to remind herself. After an awkward silence, he suddenly emerged from his melancholic daydream and whipped his head around to face her. “What was that thing he did to you, anyway?” “The shoulder clicky thing?” “Yeah, the, uh, shoulder clicky thing.” “It's nothing much, just a little move that makes you feel absolutely ticked.” “How angry exactly?” It took her a while to comprehend that her previous answer had been lost in translation. “Not in American Slang, English slang.” “Huh?” “I meant drunk.” “Oh. How drunk exactly?” “Three Jagerbombs, five Black Russians and two G&Ts drunk.” “Is that even possible?” “You haven't been through the mind opening experience of young adulthood yet. Pretty? No. Possible? Hell yes.” “Okay. Right. Okay... How the hell are we going to escape if you keep throwing up every five minutes?” “It should wear off in an hour or so.” “I hate to alarm you or anything, but I really don't think we have an hour or so.” “Neither do I.” “You're scaring me now. This is the point where you're-” “Where I'm meant to be formulating an escape plan? Yeah, I know.” “Why aren't you then?” “Because I'm desperately trying to stay conscious and at the moment, that's taking a lot of effort.” “Anything I can do to help?” “Oh, I don't know, maybe formulate an escape plan for me?” “'Kay... I can't think of anything.” “It generally takes more than three seconds to think of a brilliant idea.” “I, knew that.” “Anything yet?” “But I thought you said-” “I'll admit that three seconds is too much to ask but six seconds? C'mon; what are you, six years old?” “Says the person sitting on her *ss doing nothing to help...” “Consciousness, remember?” “Exactly, that was unneeded.” “What was unneeded, attempting to save both our lives?” “I'll rephrase the question; why didn't you just knock that guy out?” “I thought I did?” “I meant the stereotypical normal way, where you punch him in the face and don't try some crazy ninja stuff on his nerve endings.” “Because he'd have seen it coming. Stereotypical response in a crisis situation.” “A crisis situation YOU created in the first place!” “Fair point. But what's in the past-” “Is forgotten? Hell no. What's in the past is- Did you just say fair point? Are you actually saying that I was right in the first place?” “No, I'm trying to resolve this conflict quickly so we can get back to the whole running for our lives thing.” Dynamo turned back to face her again and shakily took a deep breath. “I think I've got an idea. It might be a long shot but-” The jangling of keys rattling in the lock cut short Dynamo's train of thought. Another grunt walked into what could only be called a makeshift jail cell; his expression completely blank but more unnerving than any of his colleagues. “Put these on. They're expecting you.” The guard tossed Dynamo a pair of knee length board shorts and exited the room without another sound. For a couple of precious seconds, Ziggy genuinely thought that their original colour was a deep red, littered with white patches to form some sort of pattern. That was until she touched the silk; it was soaking wet. She withdrew her hand to find that it was drenched in liquid; liquid the exact same hue as the material she had just touched. She certainly wasn't the only one who vomited that time. “Who do you think “they” are exactly?” Ziggy needn’t have asked; the thunderous roars of the mob situated far above their heads replied with a chant that virtually shook the foundations. She glanced upwards at the gigantic crack running the entire length of the ceiling and shrank back subconsciously. Maybe “virtually” wasn't the right word to use. Perhaps “literally” would be a better substitute. At that point Ziggy rapidly snapped out of her daydream to see Dynamo. “What are you doing?” He was actually wearing the shorts. “Saving our lives.” “And do I have any role in this harebrained scheme?” “Scream at the ceiling, “I will avenge you!”? I dunno, do whatever you like.” She resisted the urge to point out the fact that the ceiling probably wanted to avenge her first, with the gaping, ominous fissure and all. She was about to think of something better when the door opened again, to reveal yet another guard. The exact guard which had half-knocked her out less than an hour before. She attempted to leant back coolly against the wall opposite the entrance, but at the very last second she lost her balance and faceplanted comically. The brute began to laugh voraciously and even Dynamo couldn't help but snigger halfheartedly. Ziggy picked herself up, her face now a glowering red. “Yeah, real funny... Haven't you guys got places to go, people to meet, faces to punch?” “Just us? You're coming too. I thought it might be fun for you to watch your boyfriend here meet his untimely demise. Might be fun.” Yet again, feelings of doubt and failure started to ripple through her mind and she found herself walking forward without a second thought... But then those thoughts of unease flickered and died. She surely had a bigger chance of getting out of this apocalyptic battleground if she wasn't under lock and key. Ziggy smiled. She was almost back to her old self again. Now all she needed was a gun... | 2012-02-16 22:28:00 Author: abyssalassassin Posts: 717 |

| ((My bad. Continuing for Zim and Isaac. Nerz and butter-kicker are welcome to write about their perspective, but in this little "escape plan", I'm focusing on Isaac and Zim.)) As Alex said "1", they all started running in their planned direction, except for Ivon, who, fairly, thought they were supposed to go on "Go.". Alex and Ivon speeded toward the left, while Zim and Isaac went toward the right. Thankfully for Ivon, despite him not being the best in shape, the majority of the focus was on Isaac and Zim, and it only moved to Alex and Ivon some by the time Isaac and Zim were able to get downhill. As they ran downhill, Zim stumbled, moving her ankle the wrong way. Isaac grabbed her hand, quickly getting her up, and getting behind the trucks. Zim: "God, I hate when that happens...." A few rounds of gunfire could be heard. As they ran from the back of one truck to another, a few could spot them. They tried to use this at their advantage. As a guy was passing between two of the trucks parked their, Zim quickly, in a different row between two trucks, with a signal from Isaac, jumped over that one toward where the soldier was, shocking him and breaking his neck. Isaac already shot down one, only to get approached by another, which, in a tangle, he simply twisted around and slammed the guy's head against the truck a few times, until going to sleep. Zim: "Cmon, we can't waste time here. We have to keep moving. Past the tubes, uphill to that "building-in-progress..." Isaac simply replied with a nodd. Zim went first, running forward, downhill some more, and Isaac followed. Isaac then saw a grenade reaching the ground, obviously aimed for Zim, who was too fast, which he was n"lucky" enough to run into. It then detonated like that, and things began to became white all over. He could hear the searing white noise, just like in those war video games. He was practically blind as a bat, but at least it wasn't a normal grenade, which would've chopped his legs off. The flash grenades effects started to clear some, but not much for Isaac. His senses felt like they tripped too, as when he tried getting up, he'd stumble right back down. He wasn't noticing the bullet that just pierced into his left shoulder. Zim ran back over, noticing Isaac struggling. She tried dragging him some in the open area. Thankfully, for them, attention was over on Alex and Ivon, however the heck it was for them. A few guys though noticed them, and Zim did what she could, letting go of Isaac as he tried crawling more, and she ran forward to get cover. It was starting to clear up some, and he could feel the sharp pain in his shoulder, the kind of pain you would want to let go of, by cutting your whole arm off, only, that wouldn't really help. He found himself in a dark tunnel as things cleared up. He was still on his stomach though. He tried moving around some, and this tunnel moving around with him. This gave him the realization that in his blurred state, he headed like a doped-up feeling guy would, right for the tubes. Isaac slowly tried crawling more, despite the bad shoulder, only to hear someone getting closer. Isaac sat there still, only, to hear, in the back of the tube, where he entered, a knife was cut into. This gave him the one signal he needed. Start crawling. The guy above the tubes tried getting closer to Isaac, ramming his knife in the tube, chasing Isaac from above as Isaac himself tried crawling through the tubes. The guy got closer and Isaac was reaching the end of the tubes. Reacting quickly, as he got to the end of the tube, he did what he could, lifting up, still with the tube aorund his body, and ramming into the guy, and his oh-so-sharp knife, going in his lower back. Isaac tried moving back to get the knife out, (thankfully it didn't go in tpo deep). Then, stumbled over, ramming into the guy over and over with the tube still around Isaac, until he could knock the guy to the ground. Finally, after lots of pushing, he did infact knock the guy to the ground. Isaac fell onto the guy, getting out of the tube, and grabbing the dude's knife, and running over to where Zim was. ----------------------------------------------------------- ((Zim's perspective..........)) Zim ran forward, only to see Isaac trying to crawl on the ground, with his shoulder starting to bleed. Zim: "Son of a ******!" Zim tried grabbing Isaac, to speed things up for him, only to things down for her. Zim: "Cmon Isaac, we don't have the freaking time!" She was panicking a bit, and did what she could. Leaving Isaac to do the rest of the crawling, Zim moved forward, and found smelly portaloo to work as cover. She got behind it and took one man out, and injured another. She looked over only to see Isaac was no longer there. Not noticing he was in the tubes, or a man was coming up to him, she ran toward the construction building. As she entered, a man popped out with his arm out, hitting her in the stomach. She had the wind knocked out of her a bit and as the man hurled himself upon her, she got her arms around his neck, choking him. Although the move was deadly, it lost Zim some time. More men were coming after her, so she had to get the hell out. She ran forward, where a large wooden plank was built, which was going to be made into the door. She ran toward the door, hearing men coming up from behind. She shot the door several times as she was running toward it, and as men were approaching from behind, she could only take a second to look back, and fire one of her bullets into a guy's leg. The door was coming closer and closer, Zim fired and fired until she was out, thus, as she came right to the door, she could only slam herself into it, rolling downward. The dizziness now came to her, but the reinforcement was right ahead. She jogged over some, crawling the fence, and after getting over, lost her steam, falling over on the other side, only to barely get up, and keep going, moving over right, into the street. ((Late warning: Tis a long post.)) | 2012-02-20 16:33:00 Author: Dragonvarsity Posts: 5208 |
| Alexa followed the helicopter that was still flying overhead searching for her, trying to get the attention of it, but avoiding the main streets still crowded by the ongoing terror still in play from the incident. She was almost about to give up hope, and just wait out the time, but then, something struck her as she felt one of the weapons that laid on her back, held it up and admired it for a few moments before coming up with an idea. She'd know dad's old DMR anywhere. Alexa moved her hand around down the side, making sure the weapon was loaded, and then aimed the weapon upwards, taking 2 shots at the chopper, with it immediately halting it's movement and searching around with it's spotlight before stopping with it shining right into Alexa's eyes. She squinted and tried to shield her night-accustomed eyes from the blinding light shining down, as it slowly moved the light away and started to mobilize again, heading for the main streets that it had come from, clearly trying to lead her to a landing zone. Without thinking of the insuing battles raging along the roads, she ran out across the intersection towards a parking lot on the lower level of the streets that the helicopter was hovering over, and now descending. Alexa probably should've been suprised, but barely had a hint of shock on her face at all when Laura stepped out of the vehicle while completely shutting out the gunfire and yells echoing through the city. "Mom." "Alexa." "What in the hell are you doing here?" "A few reasons actually; one of them I was hoping that you'd tell me." "Let me guess..." "I saw the news report, the one that led on that Mercuy might still be alive, and then Jack led me on about your little scheme to go after Blackout, and rumors of Nintendo terrorist attacks on Sao Paulo haven't helped matters with our fight, have they?" "What do you mean?" "I mean that we're on the verge of war again. As we speak, Sony troops are busy massing at the gates of Hyrule City, and it won't be long before Microsoft finds some way to get themselves involved, and with Blackout on the loose, this is the LAST THING that we need. So I'm here to make sure that we find your father, and that we find a way to put a stop to this ****ed war." "Mom..." "I know what you're thinking, and i'm not going to let you force me into staying out of this." "You passed the legacy onto me, and i've got what I need to put a stop to this-" "Like hell you do! You were lost before I got here, I could tell, your squad scattered throughout the city and death looming in every corner. The few sane people left have probably spotted us and are headed here right now, so I don't know about you, miss, but I don't think we have time to argue on the matter about who should be helping who." Alexa kept silent, while looking around and pondering her options for a moment, but suddenly, they were all cut off as bullets starting whizzing by their heads, and the metallic slam of the rounds against the heli came across the lot. | 2012-02-22 06:07:00 Author: Merc Posts: 2135 |
| "Welp, this is it. This is where it all comes to an end. Only twenty-five and my life is already over.

Hmm... How much blood does a body even have? Maybe I have another good six hours left. Eh, probably not. Oh crap... I totally forgot about my dad's journal.

| Crawling over the fence, only to fall over on the other side, Zim was getting pretty exhausted, like the wind was kicked right out of her. She continued running, taking turns. Isaac tried to go after her, only barely seeing her, trying to take the turns she took. Alex, and Ivon were a little behind, but tried following aswell. Alex jumped over the fence, and tried cutting through it as, Ivon wasn't in the right shape to jump over. As men were approaching, and Ivon was stuck on that side, Alex quickly handed Ivon the knife, threw his last smoke grenade over to the men, and ran for it. Ivon was able to cut through some, and fit through, but the smoke was starting to fade. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Meanwhile, with Jak, Gecko and Heather. Jak: "This is taking too long. The city's nearby, maybe we can get some sort of vehicle without revealing ourselves." They were infact near New Natal, but they didn't want to reveal any sort of cover. Heather could see Jak looking at his PDA some. Gecko was looking around, and Heather, being in the shoes she's in, right now was as a good a time as any. She tried running her elbow into Jak, and before Gecko would grab her, she swooped down and ran toward the city. Jak: "*****it! She's gonna blow it for us!" Jak and Gecko ran after Heather, as she was running toward the city. -------------------------------------------------------- Twists, turns, Zim just tried to lose anyone she could. Isaac was coming up toward her, trying to get her to stop for a second, seeing as how she was exhausted. Alex and Ivon could only try finding Isaac, as they heard some men not too far away. Heather kept running, as she took a path into a city, she saw a construction site up ahead. Turn by turn she took, until running into both Zim and Isaac. Before either could say something, Jak and Gecko pointed their guns out, Alex and Ivon showed up, and Zim threw up part of her last meal. Jak: "Get your hands up!" Isaac: "Heather?" Gecko: "You heard him." Jak: "I'm afraid we don't have time to chat, so might aswell just shoot you all-.....wait a minute." Gekco: "Jak?" Jak: *talking to Zim* "You, lady on the ground, get up." Zim got up, revealing herself. Jak: "Well, fancy meeting you here. Zim, right? Fouth in the fourth war, correct?" Gecko: "Hate to rain on your parade, but these guys were being chased. We need to leave." Jak: "Alright, well, it's their mess. Seeya, I already have one hostage to deal with. Gecko, go find a truck." Isaac: "Your Ziggy's commander, she wanted us to meet, she knows both Rico and-" Jak: "Wait, Rico? *hears men coming* "Of course that lunatic is with you." Isaac: "We were supposed to meet with her earlier, but we got sidetracked." Gecko: "Cmon, I found something." Jak jogged over and the rest were soon to follow. Jak pushes Gecko over to the passenger's seat when he got inside to drive. Gecko: "Just let them on for god's sake Jak, trust me." Two rows of seats were behind where Jak and Gecko were. In the middle, Isaac and Heather got in, while Alex, Zim and Ivon got in the back. Jak could hear men getting closer, and made sure to start driving off. Isaac: "Wait, we still need Rico." Jak: "That b*stard had his chance to tag along." Heather called Rico on her phone, to get him over where they are. Rico: "Heather?" Heather: "Rico. We got in some trouble. I'm back with everyone, but they got some trouble in the construction area. You sohuldn't be too far away, right?" Rico: "No, why?" Heather: "Well, Zim tells me she got what she needed, but Jak's already driving us there." Rico: "Just tell me where you need me to go to." Heather: "One second." Heather put her hand on the phone for a second. Heather: "Will ya slow down Jak? They're far gone, I don't think they saw us drive off. There should be a spot up ahead where Rico can meet us, and hitch a ride." | 2012-02-25 20:25:00 Author: Dragonvarsity Posts: 5208 |
| ((THE COMEBACK)) Jak drove the truck into a dark alley, against his own will. Alex and Zim jumped off and watched the flanks to make sure they weren't followed. Heather told Rico again to hurry up, to which he promptly responded "I'm on my way". ------------------------------------------ As Rico walked through the streets of New Natal, he could see the authorities getting around, a clear sign that the group was in trouble. Resisting to the urge to stop the guards in their tracks before they could do any harm, he discretely kept following the path to where Heather told him to go. Rather awkwardly, all the forces were converging towards the same direction as him. Things were getting tenser, to the point one guard just turned around and stopped him. Guard 1: Sorry sir, but we got reports of hostile activities in this sector. They might be terrorists, so we cannot let any civilians proceed any further. Rico tried to persuade the guard, but that was only worsening the situation. Other guards noticed the discussion and approached the two. Guard 2: Mike, this guy causing any trouble? Guard 1: He really wants to get into the fight zone. He doesn't understand the situation. Guard 2: Or maybe he knows something we don't... Guard 1: ... Guard 2: Sorry, sir, but we need to arrest you... When Rico noticed that his cover was blown, he immediately aimed the grappler at a building behind the guards and flew past them as they opened fire. In a matter of seconds, Rico was grappling from building to building with the entire Force after him. ------------------------------------------- Back at the truck, the surroundings seemed to get calmer. Alex was watching the entrance they went through while Zim was watching their exit way. Alex: That's it people. The streets are deserted. Just upon saying that, Rico appeared from the roof above and landed not so softly into the back of the truck. Ivon: Oh, there he is! The silence was broken by the sound of what seemed a thousand vehicles approaching their area. Jak started the truck and began to drive, causing Alex to run and jump onto the back of the truck. Zim also began to run and wouldn't make it if Alex hadn't extended his hand for her to catch. Jak: Ok, let's take this show on the road! | 2012-02-26 00:40:00 Author: gdn001 Posts: 5891 |

| ((Alright then, here it is.)) Jak and the rest of them had already gotten a head start, but they weren't sure how far they could make it before being caught up. Jak: "We might be a little open for now, but there should be a way into a forest up ahead-" Ivon: "Oh for god's sake, not another forest....." Jak: *ignoring Ivon* "We can zigzag some, and maybe lose some of them." Isaac: "And how are we going to get rid ALL of these guys before we get to this base of yours?" Jak: "Shouldn't you know by now? Shoot the drivers, things like that." Isaac: "Okay, well, I've got.... one bullet left." Heather: "Yeah, I'm out." Ivon: Same..." Jak: "Alright, alright. We'll use this vehicle, and the forest to our advantage. We ram into some, and get others to crash aswell, incase we don't have enough bullets. In order to trick some of these people, I'm gonna have to keep both hands on wheel, and both eyes on the road. Gecko, you'll have to be my blindside for this. Take my gun and what ammo I've got on me, and give it to whoever back there can actually fire. Jak, looking through a slightly cracked driver's side mirror, as Gecko handed out a gun and a couple clips, saw two trucks coming towards them, along with more right behind. Driver: "SIR. PLEASE STOP YOUR CAR IMMEDIATELY. THIS IS THE NEW NATAL POLICE. YOU HAVE PEOPLE WHO WE'LL NEED TO TAKE IN FOR QUESTIONING. PLEASE STOP THE VEHICLE WITHOUT PROCEEDING." Jak started to slow down, in the roofless vehicle. Heather: "Jak, what the hell are you doing?" Jak remained quiet. Rico: "You better not be trying to betray us to save your own sorry a$$ skin." Jak, still saying not a word, looked back over to Rico, waiting. A few trucks, which were behind them, were coming up to them, slowing down, while suddenly, Jak sped up as they were slowing down, heading right into the woods. Driver: "THEY'RE GETTING AWAY. SEND IN MORE MEN, TOWARD THE FOREST." ((I didn't need permission for any of this from abyssal, but an idea, later on, during this chase, so for now, there's this.)) | 2012-03-01 23:34:00 Author: Dragonvarsity Posts: 5208 |

| ((Permission granted, time to continue the chase)) ((Oh, and uh, sorry, but this is a long post, just fair warning. Sorry if it's confusing)) A few trucks, which were behind them, were coming up to them, slowing down, while suddenly, Jak sped up as they were slowing down, heading right into the woods. Driver: "THEY'RE GETTING AWAY. SEND IN MORE MEN, TOWARD THE FOREST." Jak and the rest of them were greeted by dirt paths, and branches that kept knocking into the windshield, going over, and getting into people's faces. A truck appeared on the left of the vehicle Jak and the rest of them were in. They tried shooting a couple times at Jak, the driver, in which he tried leaning his head back. Jak: "Gecko, take that ***** officer down!" Gecko shot a few times, taking the guy driving the truck down, but more were heading up. Jak, Gecko, Ziggy and Dynamo were the most familiar with the area of where their "base" was, but Ziggy and Dynamo weren't there, and Gecko was too busy trying to shoot down officers, so it was up to Jak to try to direct them, as best he could. Rico, Isaac and Alex did most of the shooting along with Gecko, but they had to be wary of their ammo. Rico and Alex already took out 2 trucks, while Isaac was busy trying to take out a guy veering up to them. Before being able to take the guy down, it rammed into the back of their vehicle, with Zim, in the back, losing her balance, falling onto the front of the truck behind them. Zim: "Who, whoa, whoa, whoaaaaaaa!" Ivon: "Cmon Zim, I'll help you get over:" But the trucks were seperating. The other truck slowed down and sped up, trying to make Zim lose her balance and fall off. She tried hanging on, using her cane to latch onto the roof of the truck. The guy was getting his gun out, when she held onto the latched on cane, jumped back, and kicked through the glass, choking the driver with her legs. She went into the truck, pushed the guy over, and started driving. Zim: "*****, I gotta catch up......" But she wasn't just gonna get back on, might aswell have some fun. She veered a few trucks off course, and got another one when hers was in trouble. ------------------------------ Ivon: "You think Zim's alright?" Jak: "Haven't been checking, but it feels like less trucks are coming our way." Jak made a swift turn to the right and as the other trucks tried doing the same, he veered back over to the left and started going left. Ivon: "Are you even sure you know the directions?" Jak: "Better than anyone else here." Ivon: "So...you do know then?" Jak: "I somewhat kinda know, with a few hunches here and there." They were running out of ammo, but after shooting the majority of drivers, ramming trucks into trees, and getting one to slam into another, they were doing good. Another truck ws coming up to them, and Alex started shooting at it. Zim: "Don't shoot for Christ's sake!" Rico: "Zim?" Zim: "The one and only." Heather: "How many are left that you've seen?" Zim: "I think they stopped calling in a short while ago, I saw....three more." Isaac: "Crap....I'm out." One of those three left slammed into the truck Zim was driving, and moved over some. While she was on the far right, and Jak and co. were on the far right, it moved inbetween, ignoring Zim. Both of them tried sandwhiching it, and it was forced to slow down, in which one behind it, slammed into it, from behind, making it veer off course. Jak: "Two left!" Rico: "Great...." Jak: "What is it?" Rico: "I'm out now...." Alex: "Same here." Zim: "Crap, this baby's running out of fuel, fast. I'm gonna need to get back over there." Jak: "Just give us a second!" Zim was behind some with the last truck, which she opened her door, slammed right into the other vehicle, and climbed onto it. Gecko tried dealing with the second to last. Gecko tried shooting at the driver of it some but missed. He tried shooting more, but that was it. Gecko was out now too. He decided to make one last use of the pistol, and tried chucking it at the guy's head. His great precision and itiming came in handy, knocking the guy out. Jak slowed the truck down as much as he could,so zim, on the top of the last truck, could jump over to them, as the truck Gecko dealt with, slammed right into the one Zim was just on. Alex: "Ouch!" Ivon: "Get off my head please Zim..." Zim: "Heh, sorry. Well, that's all of 'em." Jak: "Thank God." Jak pulled up his window, and kept moving forward. Heather: "How much longer till we get to that base of yours?" Jak: "It shouldn't be long. Zim: "Jak, we might have one more problem. A gigantic vehicle suddenly appeared before them, bigger than all the other ones. Jak: "Son of a bit-" The vehicle slammed into the one Jak was driving, making Jak slam his head hard against the window, going unconscious. ((Will try wrapping this up next post if that's alright. I might even be able to post it tomorrow.)) | 2012-03-03 22:25:00 Author: Dragonvarsity Posts: 5208 |

After walking for almost half an hour the trio passed a pair of guards, one effortlessly restraining a little boy, nine at the very most, screaming hysterically for his mother. But his mother would never come. Because barely less than five minutes ago, they had passed yet another grunt, effortlessly dragging a limp, lifeless female figure down the hallway by the greasy, matted hair on her scalp. Not to mention the left foot she seemed to be missing; the left foot the grunt dragging her was carrying in a transparent plastic bag. But the one thing Ziggy would forever remember was the searching expression residing in her now gaunt, decaying eyes. Searching for something more fluffy and more kind than this reality she had; judging by the ribcage grotesquely protruding out of her her uncovered torso, always lived through. Lived through? More like been trapped inside. And now it was Dynamo's turn to face the music. Maybe it would be her turn after whoever had invented this disgusting excuse for a sport had finished ripping him to shreds. Ziggy felt exactly like a lamb to the slaughter at that point. So much for her previous optimism, as far as she was concerned now, they were dead meat. And as far as she was concerned, she would never be able to top such a pair of cringe inducing puns, so she gave up trying and walked onwards; the bullet embedded inside her right foot throbbing rhythmically in time with their footsteps. She soldiered on because there was no alternative. No alternative that didn't involve the Grim Reaper whispering in her ear. “You; wait here. If you move, you will be killed, painfully.” That was directed at Dynamo. The grunt quickly turned his attention back to her. “You; lead the way.” Ziggy had been so lost in her meandering thoughts that she hadn't noticed that they had come to a junction. Before she had to comprehend the possibility that she wasn't the only one in danger of not making it out alive, a sharp jab of the pistol and a finger mockingly massaging her left shoulder nerve brought her back to her senses. As she began to near the light at the end of the tunnel, the sharp, sickly scent of cheap disinfectant reached her nostrils. It hadn't completely worked though; the metallic odour of dry blood still rising above the vulgar fragrance; the two coalescing together in the humid atmosphere to form a vomit inducing aroma. She stopped, placed her hand against the wall to her right and gave into the nauseous feeling residing deep in her gut After ten seconds she calmly straightened up and warily wiped the sick from her mouth. As soon as she turned back to him, her jaw was greeted with a bone-crunching blow, the gun in her attacker's hand powering into the side of her head. “Get moving.” No response. The pain was unbearable. She fell to her knees, and desperately clasped her hands to her cheek. The entire bottom right corner of her face was now completely numb. There was no visible blood... Not on the outside anyway. “GET MOVING OR I'LL KILL YOU RIGHT HERE AND NOW!” The ice cold barrel firmly pressed against the back of her skull made her do the impossible. Ziggy got back up. Ziggy resisted the urge to wretch like a wild animal. Ziggy faced her attacker and stared into his twisted black pupils... Ziggy spat out a lake of blood into the man's face, making him stumble backwards in shock. This gave her enough time to snatch the pistol from his hand. This gave her enough time to embed a bullet deep into his heart. This gave her enough time to fire yet another round at a second snaking crack in the ceiling... This didn't give her enough time to calculate the sheer amount of havoc she would wreak. Ziggy began to run for her life as the entire building started to self destruct. | 2012-03-04 05:29:00 Author: abyssalassassin Posts: 717 |

| Bullets whizzed by the mother, daughter pair as the blackout soldiers kept the heat on the area around around them, with the small helicopter standing between them and holes straight through their chests. "Hey Mom, do you think that maybe we should use this helicopter that we're standing against to get away from the insane soldiers that want nothing but to hurt us?" "Then why don't you go ahead and get in then?" Alexa looked back quizically for a minute before moving over to the door, not often being one to turn down a challenge, even one issued by Laura, especially one issued by Laura. She slowly moved closer to the door of the helicopter and opened it, a bullet whizzing by her left ear as she pulled herself into the copter and ducked, suprisingly being further unfazed by the supression of the insuing rounds. With a barely audible sigh, Laura followed, and moved into the driver's seat, taking hold of the controls, as a bullet struck Alexa through the right arm. "Aaagh... This isn't good." Laura started up the blades as fast as possible as the gunfire started to slightly lighten up as some of the men started running low on ammo. "Ah, Christ... We're getting the hell out of here!" "Just get this thing somewhere safe, we're not leaving the city." "Like hell we aren't! You just got shot, and we have a chance to get the hell out of here!" "I am NOT leaving my squad in this hell hole to die. My arm will be fine, just- "AH SH*T, ANTI AIR!" Sure enough, Alexa looked down the side to see a group of what looked like militia aiming what looked like a stinger right towards them. With them not being Blackout, Alexa was more than worried about the missle coming towards them. "HITTING THE DECK! Alexa, get ready to jump when we get low... might be our only chance." She didn't look over to her mother, simply nodded and ripped a piece from her jacket to patch her wound, trying her best not to grimace at the pain. It was here that she realized the extent of what she had got herself into, and almost zoned out the entire scene in thought, operating almost mechanically as the helicopter descended and she slammed into the ground after hopping out. She wasn't sure if the fall had killed her, but it sure as hell felt like it. ----------------- The world slowly came into view as Alexa reluctantly started opening her eyes, and restarting her brain, which caused her to realize that her bloody arm was resting on her forehead, and streams of dark scarlet trickling down to her fingers, almost dried up. She sat up and tried to push the though of her arm out of her head, which was made a lot easier with the pain having dissipated significantly in the time she was out, and instead focused on her throbbing headache and what almost felt like a broken rib. Not suprising considering she'd jumped out of a helicopter, but it was suprising that she barely noticed it was probably broken. A hangover was not something she wanted to have in the middle of a war scenario, but she didn't feel like trying to figure out where she was in this state, and thus carelessly banged her head onto the concrete, making her headache even worse than before, but the strength do do anything more about it wasn't there. ------------------ This time she woke with a jump. "Aaaaagh!" Kicking someone in the ribs would do that to anyone, and Alexa's damaged ribs made it much worse, but she wasn't in the mood to argue with her attackers. "Get up." "Ugh... One secon-" Another kick really didn't help them get her up faster, but she did comply, although still holding her now confirmed to be broken rib. The men didn't say another word, and pushed her out of the room, and then played as escorts down the hallway. With further examination of her surroundings, she almost hurled on the back of the guard in front of her. There were people all over in the cells around with grusome injuries, and it made her feel like she was above the clouds compared to these people. burned faces, missing limbs and everything in between. She tried her best to ignore what was happening and stop analyzing what was happening around her, not taking into account that this would probably be her state in a few minutes, and she had all but given up hope, submitting to the fact that she was probably being dragged into some kind of sick game, but something came up. Something of the explosive variety... ((Stayed up till 3:30 to finish the post. Like a boss.)) | 2012-03-04 08:30:00 Author: Merc Posts: 2135 |
| ((Sorry, but it looks like I'm gonna have to do this post, and then one more post, to end the chase. I don't want to seem like a control freak or whatever, even though I did sort of take over for the entire chase :x)) The vehicle they were in was slowing down. Gecko tried to be quick, moving Jak's unconscious body over to where he was sitting, as he tried driving for him. Heather: "Wait, what was that about?" Gecko: "Jak hit his head against the window, I'm taking over. We need to get rid of the truck, the camp site is only a few miles away. I'm the only one besides Ziggy and Dynamo, who are gone, and Jak, who is no longer in a position to help us right now." Alex: "Okay, but how are we going to stop the "thing" behind us? It's almost triple size of this vehicle." Suddenly, the truck behind them rammed from behind, shaking Gecko and everyone else a little, as he tried to make a turn. As Gecko turned, Isaac was jolted by a stinging pain in his shoulder, where he'd been shot back at the construction site. Heather: "Isaac, are you alright?" Isaac: "Mhm." Heather: "Oh my god, you're bleeding...." Isaac: "Gecko, is there a first aid kit up there." Gecko reached his hand in the glove compartment, and tossed back a first aid kit. Isaac: "Thanks, mph.." Zim: "Say, there wouldn't be any more bullets in there, would there?" Gecko: "No." Zim: "Of course." Ivon: "How are we going to take it down then?" Gecko: "It's huge, so it'll take longer to turn. Still, we can't just outrun it, and it's too stable to fall over just by turning. I could maybe mislead it, have it ram into something at the last second, although I'm not sure if that'll work just right." Gecko: "If only we had some sort of explosive...." Isaac felt something in his pocket, it was....a bag. He took it out for a second, and then realized something. Isaac: "Wait, I might have something." The vehicle behind them, sped up, and tried slamming into them, but Gecko was able to move over in time. Gecko: "What?" Isaac: "Back when Blackout was everywhere, after Michael, I got some leaves with this strange liquid poured on it by them, it must've been explosive or flammable, they talked about "burning the place down"." He handed it over to Rico. Rico: "I think Isaac's right on this. Although, we still need to detonate it. A bullet could maybe do the trick-" Ivon: "Yeah, but we have no bullets left! Isaac: "Actually, we do have one." Zim: "What, really?! Where is it?" Isaac shifted his eyes over to his shoulder, where he was shot, and where the bullet was still in. Isaac: "Now, Zim, I'm gonna need that cane of yours to get it out." ((One more post.)) | 2012-03-04 22:00:00 Author: Dragonvarsity Posts: 5208 |

| Zim: "I think I'm good, go use something else." Rico: "Are you kidding me?" Rico tried snatching it a few times while Zim moved it around, only for Alex to grab it and hand it over to Isaac. Isaac: "Alright, can one of you guys help get this out." Rico grabbed the cane, offering to help get the bullet out. Isaac: "Just be careful." Rico: "That, I cannot guarentee." Rico cut into Isaac's soldier, with letting out a bit of screaming. Gecko turned the truck as the one behind them opened fire, making them shake. Isaac: "****!" Rico was able to get not one, but two bullets out. Because Rico had, probably the best throw, he would throw the bag with the liquid covered plants in it, and Gecko would use Rico's gun and the two bullets given to shoot it. Gecko: "We just need to get the other vehicle on our side." Heather: "We still need to be far away from them some." Gecko: "There should be some rocky surfaces up ahead. We get in their way as they try moving around us, reach it, and turn at the last second. That's when you throw the bag Rico, alright?" Rico: "Alright." Gecko: "We've only got one shot at this, so I do hope you can actually get it there." Rico: "Let's just get it over with." Rico tried ignoring the butterflies swelling up inside his stomach. Gecko got his gun ready. They were approaching more open area. They heard a message from the vehicle behind them. Driver: "THIS IS YOUR LAST WARNING. IF YOU DO NOT STOP NOW, WE WILL HAVE TO SIMPLY CRUSH YOU." Gecko kept driving, getting ready to set the trap, when large spikes came out of the front of the vehicle that was behind them. Spikes also appeared on the side of the truck, large, and pointy. It was gaoining speed. Gecko tried to speed up aswell, so they wouldn't be crushed. He veered some, and so did the thing behind them. They were approaching the area, and the fuel was being used up. If he kept driving like this, which he had to, the fuel would be out in approximately less than a minute. Gecko tried blocking the crush, without it running into them, and they could see a rocky surface. Isaa cand Heather leaned their heads back, as Rico held tight against the bag. The wall was getting closer, and others were pushing Gecko to turn now, but it just wasn't close enough. Zim: "Gecko? Time to turn, turn, TURN TURN TURN TURN" Gecko slammed hard against the wheel, turning before hitting the large rocky surface, with the truck behind them, slamming into it some, but still turning aswell, making the next few seconds so important, it felt like time was slowing down. Rico threw the bag towards the truck. Gecko reacted too fast, wasting the first bullet. Quickly, he concentrated at the target for a nanosecond, and shot the blazing bullet through the explosive liquid-filled bag, as it hit against the enemy truck. In the seconds after that, time sped back up, as sounds of an explosion could be heard, with dust and smoke filling the air, and Gecko and everyone else riding with him kept their head down, while their ride was being pushed backwards.

| ((You know what time is it? POST TIEM)) The truck slid along the forest, pushed by the flaming mass that was once a vehicle. It slowly came to a complete stop, allowing the people on the back to put their heads up again and look at the fiery scrap metal. Rico: Heh... Not bad at all is it? The vehicle's fuel tank then exploded, sending them flying off the back and the truck rolling over. Rico and the others tried to stop their heads from hurting and proceeded to help the others out of the truck. Gecko: Uhh, well, I'm good, but I think the truck won't live to tell the story... Zim: We go walking then. We have been chased for what seemed a century, so we can't be that far from... Wherever you're taking us... Zim let a bit of skepticism show in her last sentence, that Gecko immediately recognized and pretended to frown upon. Heather quickly changed the subject: Heather: Anyway... How are we getting sleeping beauty to the base? Gecko: I guess we just wake him up. Rico: Don't mind if I do! Rico slapped Jak in the face just hard enough to make him wake up and jump from his position to a more aware stance. When he realized it was Rico, he started the complaining again. Jak: You think you can do that to me? You are nothing more than a mercenary agent! You don't have the right to do things like that to people like me! Rico: You're welcome... Now, if we could just walk along... | 2012-03-07 23:41:00 Author: gdn001 Posts: 5891 |
| Michael clutched his agonizing wound as he crawled out of the ruined entrance of the arena. He tried to remember what happened, but it was all hard to make out. He remembered feeling a surge of power, then it all kind of went by. A nearby explosion sent Michael flying into a wall, his fingernails digging into the bullet wound. His healing didn't seem to be working, which was just fantastic. Stumbling onto his feet, he tried to figure out where he was. There were at least one hundred intelligent organisms nearby, so he must be in a city. He rest his forehead on his free hand, trying to remember what happened. Something about Blackout... Gunfire. Why was there gunfire? Was there fighting? If what he thought was true, then Blackout must be here. But where is here? Faithville was the most likely option but there was never any proof to support it. Need medical aid. Michael began limping in a random direction, bumping into walls frequently, meaning he was in a tight place. Alley maybe? A headache surged in Michael's head and he heard a faint voice in the back of his head, but he paid no attention to it. What was he trying to do in the first place? Something about Bad Man? Need to stop Bad Man. Edin! Wait, he's dead. God the wound hurt, why did it hurt. How did he even get it? Oh right, bullet. Michael began to feel his sanity slowly slip away. The voice seemed nervous and began to yell. She had an annoying voice, why wouldn't she shut up. The gunfire was getting quieter. Everything seemed to go on its own. Left foot right foot. Michael collapsed thinking about his favourite flavour of ice cream. | 2012-03-09 07:15:00 Author: Testudini Posts: 3262 |
