[COLOR=darkblue][i]Liam and Chole near the mountain and spot a small opening in the rock...[/i] Chole: You think she could be in there? Liam: Maybe... Chole: Well, only one way to find out... [i]Chole goes inside the cave and gets a sword pointed straight at his chest.[/i] Chole: Oh...sh-t... Aeon: Well, what do we have here? Chole: I wanna talk to Viper... Aeon: No way...not after the way you treated her...bástard! Liam: Please... Aeon: Who the hell are you? Liam: I'm with Chole... Aeon: Hmm... Chole: Please? I wanna apologize... Aeon: So how many girls have you f-ked between the time Viper left and now? Chole: Zero! Liam: He's telling the truth...he's been with me the entire time. Aeon: ...*pushes Chole into the cave* Go! Chole: (Thank you...) Liam: Thanks... Aeon: Shut up and keep walking![/COLOR]

[COLOR=darkblue][i]Chole walks inside the bathroom and looks around for a secret trap door...[/i] Chole: C'mon, where is it? [i]He tugs around and pulls nearly everything, finding nothing...[/i] Chole: Hmph! *stomps foot* Pi: Well, there is the direct way to get to the sewers....*points to toilet* Chole: :therock: Siren: :rolleyes: Liam: Well, since we have no other choice... Night: I could airlift a few people out and land on a buoy not too far from here until you guys make it out. Chole: Take the children... Siren: that includes you and Iris too... Chole: No...I think Roux and Rena will be a lot less difficult for Night to get by undetected. Night: *sigh* he's right... All: *gasp* Night: I can fly higher with ligher weight on me. Liam: I guess it's just the kids then...the really young ones. Chole: Should I go get them? Siren: Let's wait until the sun starts going down...then we'll break for it. [i]They all leave the bathroom and meet back at the lobby. Chole goes upstairs to tell Iris everything.[/i][/COLOR]

[i]Iris jumps on top of Chole, clutching his neck...[/i] Chole: Ugh...uk...uahhh!!! Iris: Sorry...*releases his neck* Chole: Thanks.. Iris: You know...judging by the sun and the colder climate...which is still not...I'd say its February or something like that. Chole: Oh? Iris: Valentines day? Chole: What's that? Iris: *falls off bed* Chole: I'm not from your place... Iris: Fine...it's nothing really, just celebrate your love. Chole: :love2: Iris: Yeah, that's it... [i]Chole lays still for a moment before reaching for Iris, bringing her back up to the bed and hugging her tightly.[/i]

[COLOR=darkblue][i]They reach Lupos' house and the three run towards the back, into his garage. They find three cars all with covers. Lupos runs around each of them pulling off the covers, revealing three small cars...[/i] Liam: These yours? Lupos: Made them myself... Siren: How'd you find the tim- wait...never mind... Lupos: Let's go...you all know how to drive, right? Siren: Watching Zack drive...I think I know well. Liam: I've been alive for quite sometime...I think it's no different from driving a model-T...ain't it? Lupos: Except these go way faster and all. Siren: Why'd you make three? Lupos: Because I had a feeling that you two'd join me again. Siren: Some hunch...well, not really, we're like brothers and sisters we were bound to get back together. Liam: *Gets inside* Keys? Lupos: *toss* Liam: *catch* Thanks... [i]Liam starts the engine and a huge roar makes everyone jump.[/i] Siren: What are these? Muscle cars? Lupos: Yeah... Liam: *revving* This'll be fun looking for Espa... [i]Lupos and Siren get inside their respective cars and start them up. Lupos leads...coming down the hill at high speed with a loud roar that can be heard for miles. They take to the night highway, tops down...[/i][/COLOR]

It was a bit disturbing...I never thought Hideo Kojoma would actually put that kinda info in the acutal game...but when comparing his pictures before and after the game was finished and released...he looked really messed up.

[COLOR=darkblue][i]Kool and Sere get up...[/i] Kool: Hey, I'm cool with that... Sere: I'm with Kool.. Liam: *eye twitch* Rex: We going? Liam: Yeah, better leave Iris and Chole alone for a while... [i]In the hut...[/i] Chole: OH! Calcutta!!!! Liam: OMG.... [i]Liam and the others make a run for it towards the hot springs...[/i][/COLOR]

[COLOR=darkblue][i]Chole follows Liam around the forest with no Viper or Aeon in sight...[/i] Chole: Man...your third eye is blind... Liam: Isn't there some kind of group with the same name? Chole: *shrugs* I guess they're all gone now...and it's just you and me. Liam: At least you're not alone. Chole: I guess... Liam: Awww...you don't want my company? Chole: Yes, I do...but I can't believe everyone else flaked on me... Liam: Flake? Chole: Umm...a western tounge. Liam: Oh...so where should we head now? Chole: North I guess...that's where Peri said she was going...ummm, so let's go. If Viper wants to find me again, I guess she can jump around and look for me. *sigh* I miss her...the others too. Liam: North it is then... Chole: Yeah...[/COLOR]

[COLOR=darkblue]OOC: If you guys have a sever case of WB, PM me and I can work with you in raising your characters from the dead...it'll just take a day or so... ~~~~~~~~ [i]Chole looks out the window and sees the violence starting...[/i] Chole: This isn't good... Iris: I can always take them over... Chole: Take one too many and you'll be fryed... Iris: I can take it... Chole: It's not worth the risk. Rena: Iris...don't... Roux: *worried* Rev: It's okay... Chole: *watches outside as Liam makes his way to safety.[/COLOR]

[COLOR=darkblue][i]Chole runs around the hut and goes inside...[/i] Chole: Keep you warm? But it's already hot around here... Iris: Follow me... Chole: *gulp*[/COLOR]

[COLOR=darkblue]Lupos: C'mon, let's go... Liam: Where? Lupos: For a drive around L.A. We're going to look for Her... Siren: Okay...the Limo? Lupos: No...someone else is renting it out tonight, right? Liam: So what now? Lupos: I have a stash of old cars parked in my garage back home... Siren: Taxi again? Lupos: Afraid so...if we scout out, we can find her faster... Liam: Alright...hope you know what your doing... [i]They get up and head back downstairs to the outside. Siren stops a taxi cab and kills the driver...they hide his body in the trunk and head back to Lupos' manor.[/i][/COLOR]

[i]Chole looks outside as Liam as he confronts the protesters and passes by them...[/i] Night: What's going on? Chole: Liam's trying to look for a way out of this place without anyone getting hurt... Pi: Good idea...so we just sit tight in the meantime? Chole: I guess so...or prepare for battle... Night: The main thing we're concerned about is the children's wellbeing...that includes you... Chole: mmmm... Pi: Sorry, no action for you...you'll have to stay with Roux and Rena fora while once the heat starts to pick up. Chole: What about Iris? Night: She's young too...maybe inexperienced... Siren: I'm young also... Pi: But...the power you have...and you're battle ready. Siren: Oh, thank... You...:rolleyes: Night: Chole...you and Iris go help protect the kids... Chole: Okay. Rev: How about me? Night: You're with us...provide coverfire...

[COLOR=darkblue]Liam: Well, at least Chole doesn't know... [i]Chole gets over himself and starts out of the hut...[/i] Liam: No! You stay in there!! Chole: Huh? Why? Liam: Umm, no reason.. Chole: Okay... [i]Chole heads inside and slams the door shut. He looks out the window and sees everyone exept Liam at a small hut, waiting for something. He sneaks out of the window and sits under the hut where the floorboards have cracks and he can see and hear what's going on.[/i][/COLOR]

Lupos: You think he's gonna be okay? Siren: I'm confident that he wont' get into trouble when I'm not around... Liam: Oh, so you two like to cause some serious trouble together? Siren: Hey, it keeps the marriage alive. Lupos: Hah...I wish it were that easy for me. Liam: Don't worry about her...we already talked about it at your house. Lupos: Her uncle's gonna kill me if something happens to her... Siren: You have us to back you up...just wait for her...she'll be back... Lupos: Maybe you're right... [i]Liam looks into the center of the circle[/i] Liam: You know with this much energy collected we could send out a message to her. Lupos: How? Siren: Man, you've got a lota learning to do too...just use it to send out a message only heard by Espa... Lupos: Okay...I think... [i]Lupos concentrates at the blue wave of energy gathered at the center and calls out Espa's name... "My dearest Espa...I know that you've messed up but I want you to come home...because I love you and I care about you and I'm worried." With that, the three concentrated and sent out the message in another invisible wave of blue...[/i] Siren: That was short... Lupos: But I got the point across, didn't I? Liam: I dunno...we couldn't hear what you were saying.

[COLOR=darkblue][i]Chole cocks back his crossbow and sticks it into the sand...he leans on it and stares off into the brightly colored sky.[/i] Chole: F-k...I blew it...I didn't even know that there were enemies...I thought they were just fighting over me... Audience: ROTFLTAO! Chole: Hey SHUT THE F-K UP! Audience: ... Chole: Man. I wanna apologize... Liam: 'pologize for what? Chole: Gah! [i]Chole looks behind him...[/i] Liam: Hi... Chole: I'm just contemplating on whether I should mend a broken heart. Liam: Isn't that sweet...oh, BTW...name's Liam... Chole: Hey there...my name's Chole...*reaches out a gloved hand* Liam: ... Chole: Have you seen a woman about *sticks hand up to his head* this high, carrying around a huge staff? Liam: Umm...yeah, I think she just passed by walking really tense, I think she was crying. Chole: Oh Sh-t... Liam: She your girlfriend or something... Chole: She's a girl and a friend to me...so yeah, she's my girlfriend... Liam: Don't play dumb... Chole: I can play whatever game I want...the point is...well, lemme think about that for a minute... [i]Chole picks up his crossbow follows Viper's footsteps while Liam walks alongside...[/i] Liam: Do you like her? Chole: Do you even know who I'm talking about? Liam: Yeah...the girl who passed by me... Chole: Ugh...well...I thought she was some hard áss who was mad all the time 'cause she's a dragonheart and all...but.. Liam: You found out that she's not like that at all... Chole: Yeah...and I didn't know that...how stupid can I be? Liam: Don't kill yourself over it... Chole: Who said that I was gonna kill myself...I'm going to look for her before her brother does... Liam: Her brother? Chole: *gulps and starts running* Liam: Hey, wait up![/COLOR]

[COLOR=darkblue]Lupos: You don't think we could do that thing we used to do...could we? Siren: What? A rejuvination prayer? Lupos: Yeah...from the old days... Liam: With the dark energy housed here, I think we could... [i]The three join hands and begin to meditate on their personal thoughts. Siren on Zack, Lupos on Espa, Liam on Siren and Lupos.[/i] Lupos: Espa...please...come back to me... Liam: You two...please be well in the future. Siren: Zack...hold on to yourself... [i]A blue ring of energy forms in the center of the three and spread out, out of the building, out of the city...their prayers travel through the world, heared by all...except humans...[/i][/COLOR]

1. No...its too painful to get into something like that. 2. Yes...once I'm in it...it's hard to get back to my old self. 3. 7 Months and Counting 4. 1 day (big mistake) 5. Hmmm... (7x30+1)/2 = 105.5 days...

[COLOR=darkblue]Liam: Rrrrarrr...*points over to Siren* Lupos: LOL... [i]Liam and Lupos take a seat.[/i] Liam: So, where's Espa? Lupos: I couldn't find her... Liam: You should go look...she might get herself into trouble. Lupos: What's the point...I find her, she runs... Liam: That's only happend once. Lupos: I hope she comes back... Liam: What are your planning to do? Lupos: Nothing...just talk. Liam: Normally, a nosferatu would punish their kin for days...but...you seem hardly normal or orthodox. Lupos: I know... Fong: Make sure no harm comes to Espa... Lupos: I understand. [i]Fong leaves the floor while Lupos and Liam continue talking. A few minutes later...Siren joins...[/i] Siren: talking about Espa? Lupos: I'm worried... Siren: And with good reason... [i]Siren takes out a bottle of blood and pours 3 cups...[/i] Liam: A toast...to our troubles... Lupos: *cling/gulp* It's nice having the three of us here... Siren: Just like old times...[/COLOR]

[COLOR=darkblue][i]An hour passed after splitting up and they met back in the town square...[/i] Chole: I've checked my share of hotels...nothing? Viper: They must've broke earlier than we expected... Chole: but where could they be? Viper: *Looks around for a suceptable man* [i]Foucues her mind on that man[/i] Viper: I think I know where they might be... Chole: Thanks... Viper: Oh, I'm so happy that I could answer your wishes...master Chole: Cut it out... Viper: Ha! [i]The start walking north, out of the town and saw the brightly colored lights in the distance...[/i] Chole: So that's where she is... Viper: But the guy I "asked" said that she went alone... Chole: So the others are still nearby, waiting for her...hopefully... [/COLOR]

[COLOR=darkblue][i]Chole hides his head between his knees...[/i] Chole: How are we gonna get back home? Karu: As far as everybody is concerned...we're nomads...wanderers. Chole: That's what I was afraid of... Seph: At least we're not alone. It would've been a lot tougher. Chole: Maybe you're right...but it's gonna take a long time to get to where we're going. Karu: Maybe we shouldn't go that way, up north...it's a long ways...and we'd have to go through Solhara again... Seph: Nevermind that...let's go look for a town after we rest...[/COLOR]

[COLOR=darkblue]Chole: It's not like I can do it without any warmth nearby... Iris: Haha, that's sad... Siren: Iris! Iris: Sorry... Chole: Well, if I died back in the sands or Meteo City...what would've happened? Siren: I would've left and gone north anyway. Pi: You say the Cristal's there...how? Siren: I've been there before...I was pulled to it...now that I've seen it with my very own eyes, locked in stone...I know my purpose... Liam: Protect him at all costs...I don't think that'll be too difficult... Iris: Why is that? Night: He looks harmless... Chole: *sits* All: *Looks at Chole* Siren: We've gotten this far...best to make a run for it...[/COLOR]

[COLOR=darkblue]Chole: You could say that I'm interested in her... Viper: I see...may I ask why? Chole: *shrugs* Viper: That's not good enough... Chole: It's not really that I like her...its the fact that we rescued her...but we didn't get anything in return... Viper: Good excuse... Chole: Well, that makes it our reason to find her... Viper: I feel a whole lot better. Chole: OMG, stop the sarcasm... Viper: *gets up* Ready? Chole: Whenever you are... [i]They go out of the tavern and out into the streets...[/i] Viper: We should be able to find them...wherever they are...[/COLOR]

[COLOR=darkblue][i]Lupos and Fong make it back to Siren's floor...[/i] Lupos: What's going on? Siren: We're trying to calm him down until you get here...which you already are...*sigh* can you help? Fong: Maybe...*walks over to Zack* Zack: What?! Fong: Don't mind me... Zack: How can I not? You're staring at me... Lupos: Zack! Zack: Lupos... Lupos: You know what's going on with you...and we don't know if you're going to loose control once the transformation is complete... Zack: Well, I can hear you loud and clear. Liam: Anything? Fong: Hard to say...this is the first time I've ever seen a mutation up close. Zack: So I'm gonna turn into a freak...great... Siren: No you're not... Fong: We'll just have to wait and see... [/COLOR]

[COLOR=darkblue][i]Liam, Pi, Rev, and Chole make it to the rooftop of the inn without being dicovered...they take Pi's scope and take turns looking at Night and Siren.[/i] Chole: Looks like they're in some kind of struggle, they stopped taking pictures. Pi: *takes out communicator* Siren! Siren: Hear that? Ugh! I'll just explain when we get back! Be rational! Night: Okay...fine... [i]Night sets down Siren on the rooftop and they go back downstairs near the fireplace. They gather around in the chairs while Siren spills some of the upcoming events.[/i] Siren: Look...you're all probably wondering why we're heading north...I take it most of you know about the Cristal. Pi: Well, I do... Liam: Something about Hybrid Vigor...yeah, I think you told us about that on the beach. Siren: Yes...we're going to look for it. I believe that someone in this group is capable of attaning that power. Night: Why...why be power hungry? Siren: So we can stand a chance of overtaking Meteo City! Chole: Overtaking Meteo City...are you mad!? Siren: No, I fully believe that we have to take control of the city to restore peace...being a hybrid, the mayor won't stand for long before he's assasinated or kidnapped. The citizens will follow. Rev: So do you have any clue on who it may be? Siren: Chole... Night: Why him? Siren: It was hard to tell at first what mix he was...he could breath fire and move quickly...but that was it, no physical features... Pi: Siren, you don't seem to have much hybrid features as well... Siren: I'm not really a hybrid... All: :eek: Liam: What?! Siren: I'm a DemiGod...no, more of a guardian sent...there are many of us... Chole: So that's why you had the green energy field... Night: Where'd you come from? Siren: I was born naturally...but I guess fate began to play tricks on my body during the gestation period. Pi: Is Iris listening in on all of this...? Where is she? Chole: *looks up * I'll go get her... [/COLOR]

[COLOR=darkblue][i]Lupos heard the screams also and looks upwards towards the ceilling...[/i] Lupos: Better hurry up... [i]Lupos melts into the shadows and appears before the council of nine unexpectedly.[/i] Council 1: Lupos, what a plesant surprise... Lupos: Sorry, but it's urgent. Council 2: Say it... Lupos: There's a person in our floor with a slightly different aura. I was wondering if any of you might know what it is... Coucnil 9: If I may... Council 3: Go ahead...master Fong... [i]Council 9 steps out and confronts Lupos in the middle of the circle.[/i] Fong: It's nice to see you again... Lupos: You as well.. Fong: It's Zack...right? Lupos: Yes...do you know what's happening to him? Fong: Hard to say...but I've seen that aura before...take me to him... [i]The two giant doors open and the head back upstairs...[/i][/COLOR]

[COLOR=darkblue][i]Chole picks up his crossbow and catches up with Viper...[/i] Viper: You know, from your job description, this doesn't seem like you... Chole: When work is involved, I get serious. Viper: So...you're saying that at somepoint later on, you're going to take me... Chole: It depends though...actually, I only do in girls that deserve it. Viper: Is that so? Meaning... Chole: Bad girls deserve punishment Viper: But what if they find pleasure in it? Chole: Then they do...but then I do also... Viper: Then who wins? Chole: I do... Viper: And why is that? Chole: Because it's the stuff I say to them that really gets them in the end. Viper: If they dont' listen to you? Chole: They will... Viper: Confident... [i]The approach a nearby tavern/inn. Chole opens the doors for her and she walks through.[/i] Chole: And courtious also...;) [i]They head inside and sit in one of the corners...they order some hard liquor and breakfast...[/i] Viper: How about, Peri? Chole: What about her? Viper: Do you think she deserves it? Chole: Well...sometimes I don't think so...she's full of rage but she has some quality. Viper: Lol... Chole: That reminds me...you think we should go look for her... Viper: She's an ungrateful b-tch though... Chole: Emotions asisde... Viper: A good money making opportunity. Chole: Right...and if we woke up early enough, they're probably still getting ready... Viper: Right...so you wanna go find them? Chole: *takes a look at map of village* There's only a few taverns around here...let's start with this one and head over to the one furthest from here... Viper: After breakfast...they sky's still pinkish orange...(7:30AM) [/COLOR]
