[color=indigo][i][size=1][b]"Get used to calling me Angel of Chaos,"[/b] Artemus smiled and bowed slightly. [b]"God has forgiven you?"[/b] Delnoreth smiled and held out his hand. [b]"Yes, and we are here to help the half-dragons,"[/b] Artemus took Delnoreth's hand and shook it firmly. [b]"Thank you..I'm..speechless.."[/b] Delnoreth's eyes began to glaze with tears. Artemus smiled softly and turned to face the ruin. He glared over the scorched Earth. Bodies lay scattered about the land, patches of fire spat and crackled. Artemus's breast armor gleemed in the glow of the flames, the reflection bounced from his hard, condoning gold eyes. He clutched the [b]Blade of Purity[/b] in his right hand, the [b]Chain of Decadence[/b] curled around his left arm and the top half of his upper torso. He lifted his diamond blade and pointed the tip towards the hordes of demons. The blade began to glow and radiate white light. Artemus slowly raised the blade vertically infront of his body, he closed his eyes and took in a slow, deep breath. [b]"And God said, 'Let there be light. For it is good and pure.'," [/b]Artemus opens his eyes and flicks his wrist. The blade resognated a blinding light. Artemus crouched and raised the humming sword above his head. With a smile, Artemus swiftly swung the blade in one, fluid sweep. Searing heat and light washed across the land, charing every demon in path. Screams and blood curtling moans of pain filled the sky, along with the blinding light. Delnoreth shielded his eyes, as did everyone not of angelic power. The light faded and all that was left was the land, unscathed. Every demon in the path, vaporized. Artemus stood straight, he held the blade to his forehead. He knelt and held the blade to the ground. [b]"Forgive us, All Mighty, for our sins,"[/b] Artemus stood, majestic and strong. [b]''Th-that was...awesome.."[/b] Delnoreth whispered, breathless. [b]"You have no idea how long I have waited to do that,"[/b] Artemus patted Delnoreth on the shoulder.[/color][/i][/size]

[color=indigo][size=1][i][b]"Yes, my dear child. You may go to him,"[/b] God smiled and waved Nymphanie off. She smiled widely and bowed before spinning around and took off towards the gates. Her feet lifted from the ivory marble and she took to the air. Artemus leapt to his feet and gave Darious a quick hug, then rushed to the gates. His body trembled with overwhelming ecstacy. The gates swung open, painfully slow. As soon as the there was a big enough gap, Artemus bolted inside. He searched around for Nymphanie. He was greeted by the other angels of choir, they welcomed Artemus with smiles and bows. He did not stop running. He looked left, right and finally infront of him to see Nymphanie landing lightly. [b]"Nymphanie.."[/b] Artemus breathed heavily. [b]"Artemus..Welcome home,"[/b] Nymphanie's face washed over with sheer happiness. Artemus ran to Nymphanie and embraced her tightly to him. He lifted her slightly and twirled her around, holding her slightly higher above him. Artemus carefully set Nymphanie on her feet and lay his forehead against hers. The two sway side to side, softly, as if they were dancing to an imaginary waltz. [b]"Artemus, Angel of Chaos,"[/b] a soft, child-like voice flittered through the air. Artemus looked down and to his left. A small, female angel smiled up at him. He knelt down beside the young angel with bright gold hair curled around her face. [b]"Serenity, my how you have grown. The last I saw you you were just a new born,"[/b] Artemus kissed her forehead. [b]"I am glad you are back,"[/b] Serenity handed Artemus a single, white rose. Artemus took the rose gratefully and placed his graceful hand on the girl's shoulder. She nodded and looked up at Nymphanie. [b]"Welcome to Heaven,"[/b] Serenity spoke gently. [b]"Thank you,"[/b] Nymphanie smiled. Artemus stood and stretched his wings. He took in a deep breath, taking in all of the sweetness of the glowing environment. He looked to Nymphanie and took her hand. Serenity smiled then flew away. [b]"So, do you like it?"[/b] Artemus motioned with his free hand. [b]"I love it all,"[/b] Nymphanie's eyes sparkled, overjoyed. Artemus leaned over and lightly kissed her cheek. He wrapped an arm around her shoulders and the two walked along a silvery pond. Artemus looked into the water and stopped abruptly. Nymphanie looked up at his face, it was serious and filling with anger. She followed his stern stare and gasped. [b]"Artemus, what is going on?"[/b] God suddenly appeared by the pond. [b]"The half-dragons, m'Lord. They are becoming aggressive,"[/b] Artemus looked to God. God nodded and observed the images on the mirror-like water. He sighed and looked back at Artemus, his eyes brimmed with sympathy and torment. [b]"Artemus, gather your army of angels. It will not be long before we will have to defend Heaven from that dragon. If she enters this realm, Lucifer will follow very shortly. She is the key, only she can penitrate the Heaven's Realm. You must destroy her,"[/b] God stood straight, his voice firm. [b]"Are you saying you want me to help the half-dragons, after you turned down their plea for help? Would you make up your mind?"[/b] Artemus squinted one golden eye. [b]"Help them Artemus,''[/b] God nodded. [b]"Why did you reject Delnoreth's request for help?"[/b] Nymphanie stepped in. [b]"Because, I have no army..I had no angel worthy enough to assemble Heaven's defense. Artemus is the only angel strong enough,"[/b] God smiled, [b]"Now, I wouldn't want to send Delnoreth into a battle against an immortal dragon without backbone, right? I would not make that promise to him, that's why I waited for you two. I see and know all, you forget. I came to my senses and my pride about you, Artemus. I knew you were right and I finally saw what you saw. Now that I have you back, assemble the finest of angels and reign down your fury, Artemus."[/b] Artemus bowed and turned to head towards the Realm of Choir, the angel's home. Nymphanie followed at his side.[/size][/color][/i]

[color=indigo][size=1][i][b]Yes, to some of you, this may look rather familiar. Charlie Levoy and I decided to give this one more go. It did not make it into the Adventure Arena, but it shall this time. [center][u]Masterminds[/center][/u] Since the creation of technology and computers, the government has always found a way to control what can and cannot be accessed through the internet. Restrictions, copyrights, security shields, St. Bernard, outstanding felony charges for hacking, etc. Classified information for secret operations are carefully monitored for the fear of hackers breaking the codes, which are said to be inpentetrable and impossible to hack through. Well, what if one day, those so-called "impossible" codes were to be broken? What if it was you who broke through? Or someone you know? What would you do? What lengths of securing the situation would the government take? Who could you trust? Could this happen? The answer is yes, this has happened. A conspiracy has been discovered. A young woman, by the name of Aura Jones, stumbles upon the conspiracy between the Federal Government and a computer company of Hikuuro Technologies to rid the Earth of its dependence upon technology. The head of Hikuuro Technologies, Toran Jitsuka, discovers the danger of his scheme to plant a virus into the world's computer network was discovered by Aura Jones and is outragged. The Federal Government is informed of this action and has agreed to help Toran Jitsuka in capturing Arua and stopping her from unvailing this conspiracy. Aura contemplates what she should do and turns to her boyfriend for advice. Lance Anderson is an accompished computer programmer for a prestigious company. After Aura tells Lance of the conspiracy she stumbled on, she suddenly is attacked by henchmen and agents. She discovers that she is being hunted and runs for her life. Traveling place to place, barely escaping the clutches of the Federal agents and Toran Jitsuka's henchmen.

[color=indigo][i][size=1][b]OOC: In speaking of Chubb...KOTR!! Where are you?! And Outcast?!...Anyway... _____________________________ "Sam?"[/b] Tex looked at the security camera. [b]"Tex, you aren't thinking of going are you?"[/b] Trini grabbed Tex's arm and clamped. Tex winced slightly and looked at Trini with mixed emotions. She didn't know what to feel. Anger? Confusion? Belief? Disbelief? Terror? Love? Tex fell to her knees, she clutched her head and sobbed. Trini knelt beside her and hugged her close. [b]"Damn you, Sam! Look at what you have done to Tex!"[/b] Trini burst at the camera. [b]"Tex...I-I didn't mean..to hurt you..Please, you have to believe me!"[/b] Sam's voice rang out through the dockin g bay. [b]"Well, you did!"[/b] Trini held Tex closer. Tex looked up painfully,[b]"Why, Sam? Why would you hurt me? I'm sorry if I was rude to you...That's no reason to try to kill someone..."[/b] [b]"Tex, please come to the cockpit...I need your help..please, I'm begging you.."[/b] Sam's voice cracked. Tex stood up and wiped away her tears. She began to walk into the Bladerunner. [b]"No, Tex. Don't go to him. He'll just try to hurt you again,"[/b] Trini held onto Tex's wrist. [b]"That is why you're coming with me,"[/b] Tex pulled Trini to her feet. Trini smiled out of both joy and reluctance. Tex gave Trini a reassuring smile and gently pulled her into the Bladerunner with her. Trini let out a deep breath and followed Tex. [b]"I have to help him. He needs me. The ship is torturing him, and it's mostly my fault..."[/b] Tex was now feeling more guilty than scared. Trini nodded and the two walked down the corridor. [b]"Plus, we need all the help we can get to save Allen, Van, Satell, and ourselves..plus we need him to get us back to Earth,"[/b] Tex pointed. [b]"True..."[/b] Trini agreed. [b]I hope the others are doing okay..Once I help Sam, we will come help you guys...Please, God..protect them until then..John 3:16 "For God so loved the world, He sent His only begotten son. And whoever believes in him, shall not perish, but have everlasting life..." Allen, you must believe to survive...[/b] Tex hugged herself as she and Trini inched closer to the cockpit.[/color][/size][/i]

[color=indigo][i][size=1]Tanya sighed and rubbed her hands over her face and raked her fingers through her hair. She leaned back in her chair and covered her eyes with an arm. Tanya heard the doors hiss open, she peered from underneath her arm and saw the female pilot of Shenlong, Anya. Shortly after, Raul walked into the room. He gave Anya a surprised glance and walked forward. Anya smirked and continued to pick and preen at her nails. [b]"We will wait for the last two pilots before I start the briefing,"[/b] Raul announced and sat at the end of the table. Tanya nodded and leaned onto the table. She folded her arms and lay her head on her hands. The encounter with Gen was really eating at her skin. Why had she retorted like that? Tanya never lost her cool during battle, or on fellow piolts for that matter. She closed her eyes and sighed lightly. [b]"Tanya? Is something wrong?"[/b] Raul spoke softly. [b]"Wha-? Oh, no, I'm fine.."[/b] Tanya kept her head down. [b]What's wrong with me? He killed children...He ignored my commands...But, even so..I shouldn't have taken my rage out on him..That's not like me to do that..no matter the situation...Gramps taught me suppression of all emotions is vital to becoming a good and deserving pilot and fighter..Gen's a great pilot and fighter..probably the best that I've come to know...But his attitude towards his fellow pilots spoils my respect for him..Then again, that attitude is exactly what a pilot should have..."Damn it!"[/b] Tanya abruptly stood up, knocking her chair over. The others in the room just stared. Raul began to say something, but decided to keep to himself. Alex did nothing. Anya looked curiously, arched an eyebrow, and shrugged. Tanya's face flushed in slight embarrassment. She turned around to pick up her chair, the doors hissed and Gen walked into the room. He stopped and glanced at Tanya. Immidiately, he looked away and walked back to the rear of the room. Tanya stood up, chair in one hand and gently placed it where it belonged. Instead of taking the seat, Tanya leaned back against the wall and waited. She gave a quick glance at Gen and quickly looked to the doors to see Naomi enter. [b]Okay, now everyone's here....I need to relax. I need to keep my mouth shut. I need to listen and observe. I will not let my emotions take over again....I will better myself, for Gramps, the gundam, my fellow pilots, and the people...[/b] Tanya thought and brushed the hair from her eyes. [b]"Right, now that everyone is present, I would like to begin briefing you all on the mission. But first, I'd like us all to get acquainted a little more friendlier than on the battle field. I introduced myself as Raul Winner, grandson of Quatre Winner,"[/b] Raul started. [b]Here we go..[/b] Tanya took in a deep, annoyed breath. [b]"Tanya, we'll start with you,"[/b] Raul pointed. [b]Damn.."I don't understand why we have to do this, but anyway. I am Tanya Maxwell, pilot of Deathscythe. Yes, I am granddaughter of Duo and Hilde Maxwell. I've been accompanying Raul on this mission for the past three days..um..what else.." "Give some details about you. What are your expectations?"[/b] Raul suggested. Tanya shrugged, reluctant to be put on spotlight. Normally she wouldn't mind, but she was not in the best of moods due to her own ignorance. [b] "My expectations are cooperation and teamwork. It's going to take all of us to complete our objectives successfully and properly. No one can take on Une and forces by themselves. Hell, if that were true, we wouldn't be here in this briefing room doing what we all disgust,"[/b] Tanya folded her arms across her chest. Raul sighed lightly and nodded,[b] "Fine, fine..Next?"[/b] Tanya smirked in relief. She scanned the room at the other pilots. Not one of them showed the slightest interest. She didn't blame them. Tanya just wanted to get out and put a stop to Une. She wanted to be with Deathscythe.[/color][/size][/i]

[color=indigo][i][size=1]Ah geez, that was great! I must say this...[b]why does everyone pick on the midget?[/b] I'm 5'1 1/2" tall..okay, okay..short.. Syk3..your character was so cute when it was crying. I laughed. All I have to say now is, James, the poor guy. Getting hit in the nads, rolling down the side of a mountain, getting attacked by K.K.C., prank heart bursts, a hernia, a poison dart, then a sleigh...James, this just shows how much people love you, lol. DW, amazing, pure brilliance. Just what I needed, my holiday is not going well. I laughed hard and long. I cannot wait to see your next picture. [center][b]~Annie~[/b][/center][/color][/i][/size]

[color=indigo][i][size=1][b]"Aw, FUCK that,"[/b] Trini said, beginning to turn the tables on Tex, [b]"How do I know you weren't in on the whole deal with Sam. Shit, you could be trying to tale control and kill all of us, with Sam by your side.[/b]" A sarcastic laugh escaped from Tex mouth. [b]"Don't try to change the subject. What were you doing when Sam escaped the first time? You were with Kenneth, weren't you!? Kenneth was who just attacked me! You sent him after me, didn't you?!"[/b] Tex's eyes brimmed with tears. Her head pounded with pain and confusion. She couldn't trust anyone. Everyone seemed to be turning on eachother. Tex grew frustrated and held her Colt tightly, aimed dead center between Trini's eyes. [b]"I said if I wanted you dead, I'd do it myself. What's wrong with you? You're letting the ship get to you, Tex!"[/b] Trini kept her aim, but her face filled with concern. Tex blinked, [b]That's what Ruben told me not to do...[/b] Tex allowed her tears to fall. She realized that Event Horizon was unrelenting and was eating away at her. Something Tex would not allow to continue any further. She would beat the ship, no one or nothing would control Tex Crandell. No one ever has or ever will. She lowered her gun and sank to the metal grate. Trini lowered her gun and slowly approached Tex. She knelt and placed a hand on Tex's shoulder. [b]"Trini, I'm so sorry,"[/b] Tex lowered her head in shame. [b]"I am sorry, too. Please don't beat yourself up. You were just trying to help keep us all safe,"[/b] Trini brushed locks of Tex's dark hair from her eyes. Tex smiled up at Trini. Tex's eyes began to flicker and close. She sighed and slumped over onto Trini. She flipped Tex over, the wound was begining to bleed heavily. Trini scooped Tex into her arms and drug her back into the docking bay of the Bladerunner. Trini ran to the medical kit and back to Tex who was laying on the grate. Trini fumbled through the kit and began to clean and dress the deep gash on Tex's chest. [b]"C'mon Tex, fight it.."[/b] Trini whispered as she feverishly patched up the wound. Tex's eyes fluttered open and she stared up at Trini,[b] "Thank you.....W-we have to help Allen.."[/b] Tex sat up. [b]"Well then, what are we waiting for?"[/b] Trini helped Tex to her feet and the two started back into the Event Horizon. Tex looked over her shoulder. She felt as if someone were watching. She quickly thought of Sam, but shrugged it away. She was confident that the jam was secure. She followed Trini back into the hull of Event Horizon. The feeling still lurked in Tex's body, but she entered despite her senses. She was going to stop the estranged Wier and save the others. _____________________________ [b]There Radaghast, now you can search..No one is on the Bladerunner...Sam is free..[/b][/color][/size][/i]

[color=indigo][b][i][size=1]"What?! You are going to do what to my child!?!"[/b]Chinkan spun on Aruzan. [b]"Chinkan, it is neccessary,"[/b] Dracula placed a hand on Chinkan's shoulder. [b]"Don't touch me!! What the fuck is wrong with you!? No one touches my child! No one! That is the most disgusting thing anyone could ever think to do! And I will not allow it to happen!!"[/b] Chinkan backed away from both vampires. [b]"Chinkan, calm down. You are going to hurt the child,''[/b] Aruzan walked towards Chinkan. Her eyes began to glow bright. She flashed Aruzan daggers. [b]"And you..'What if I'm not in the mood?'! You would do that to your child!? You are fucked in the head, you know that?! Stay away from me!"[/b] Chinkan spun around and fled the castle. Her heart raced in her breast, her mind frayed in several directions. Her vision was becoming impaired. Chinkan ran miles before she stopped, coughing and choking for breath. She fell to her knees and began to sob. [b]What the hell is going on? Orin lives, barely..I'm bearing a child that must have 'love' from the parents? I will not, and neither will Aruzan..I guarantee that he shall not touch my child..[/b] Chinkan ran her hand over her slightly swelling belly. She broke down into tears. The man she loved with all of her being, the father of her child, would actually violate his child in such a disgusting manner. Chinkan fell over onto her side and vomitted. Her body shook and she sobbed violently on the cold ground. The snow fell softly on Chinkan's numb body. She lay there, completely at the hands of nature. [/color][/size][/i]

[color=indigo][size=1][i]Artemus shuddered at Nymphanie's touch. He had never been touched by a woman and fell nearly numb from the warmth and comfort of Nymphanie's soul coursing through his body. Artemus quickly grasped Nymphanie's hand and closed his eyes for a second, taking in every little sensation as he possibly could. Nymphanie smiled softly and they continued to fly. Minutes later they reach the portal to enter the Realm of Heaven. Sheer magnificance. Pearly white gates towered before Artemus and Nymphanie. Her eyes glittered and drank up every inch of the beauty of the entrance to Heaven. Artemus took her hand and admired her face. He lead her to the gates to meet two angels. [b]"Artemus, you are not permitted to enter, nor step on the grounds of Heaven,"[/b] a male angel with silverish hair held out his metal blade. [b]"Of course not, but I am not here to enter Heaven. I am here to inform God that he has a strong allie, Nymphanie,"[/b] Artemus gently pushed Nymphanie infront of him. The angels looked Nymphanie up and down. She blushed in embarrassment, uncomfortable at the stare of the angel's skeptical eyes. She slowly backed up towards Artemus. He placed a gentle hand on her shoulder. [b]"She wishes to speak to God and pledge her allegiance?"[/b] the other angel spoke softly. [b]"Yes, search her soul. You will get your justified answer, Merrium,"[/b] Artemus spoke in full confidence. Nymphanie shrunk back against Artemus as Merrium took Nymphanie's face into his hands. Artemus held Nymphanie's shoulders and squeezed reassuringly. She relaxed somewhat and looked into Merrium's bright green eyes. He smiled at her and then looked to Artemus. [b]"She may enter, but you shall not,''[/b] Merrium took Nymphanie by the hand and lead her to the gates. [b]"Artemus.."[/b] Nymphanie looked over her shoulder, panic flashed through her loving eyes. [b]"Do not worry. Merrium will escort you. You can trust him,"[/b] Artemus waved her off. [b]"You have feelings for her,"[/b] the silver haired angel broke the silence as Artemus held onto the gate. [b]"Yes, she is special,"[/b] Artemus gazed after Merrium and Nymphanie. He sighed and looked down. He wanted to walk with her and support her as she faced God. [b]"Why did you have to defy God? You could be with her now,"[/b] the angel placed a hand on Artemus's back. [b]"I did not trust his beliefs and actions. He has lead Heaven on a course for Hell. Surely you see this, Darious?"[/b] Artemus turned to look at Darious. He blinked and his face softened,[b] "I serve my Lord without any doubts. I am sorry Artemus, I wish that you could have faith in God. You are a good man and were the best angel of the choir. It would be nice to have you on our side in these times of darkness." "Do you honestly believe that I wished to defy God? I was trying to look out for Heaven and all of its glory! And what did I get? Rejection of my existence and cast from Heaven! All because of God's pride!"[/b] Artemus spun on Darious and smacked his hand away. Artemus's gold eyes glazed,[b] "God betrayed me...H-he.."[/b] Artemus fell to his knees and clutched his chest,[b] "Darious..why? 'Forgive us of our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us..' Why will he not forgive me?"[/b] Artemus stared up at Darious with pain. Darious looked sympathetically at Artemus and dropped to one knee beside him. He took Artemus in his arms. Artemus began to sob. [b]"I prey that I knew the answer to that, Artemus. If it was up to me, I would bring you back. I know you did why you did, I know all of what happened. God does indeed have too much pride...He has sinned..Lucifer has won that battle..But he will not take over the world and Heaven, I promise you that,''[/b] Darious held Artemus closer. [b]"God sinned, Heaven is no more unless he can overcome his pride....Darious please help me..I want to come back,"[/b] Artemus pulled away and pleaded. [b]"Artemus, I cannot..."[/b] Darious's eyes began to rim with tears for Artemus. Artemus stood and swayed slightly. His hair fell over his forehead and his wings hung limply. A few feathers fell from the majestic wings. Just as Artemus turned away, an earthquaking rumble began to rise from the Heavens. [b]"Artemus, why are you here?"[/b] Artemus wiped the tears from his face and searched the clouds, [b]"I am here to inform you of a new and powerful alliance.."[/b] [b]"I know of Nymphanie, she has a good, kind heart and soul. She will make a strong allie. You have feelings for her, yes?"[/b] [b]"Of course I do,''[/b] Artemus knelt. [b]"Your wish for her to become my allie was with the full intention of helping Heaven and all angels, rather than to bribe me for your desire to enter Heaven?"[/b] [b]"Of course, Heaven needs all of the help it can receive. Nymphanie can help restore faith and trust to Heaven and all occupants. That is why you cannot gain an army, there is little faith in you and the angels. Nymphanie believes in you, my Lord,"[/b] Artemus placed a hand over his heart and bowed. [b]"She does. She also has strong belief in you."[/b] Artemus looked to the clouds, [b]"Indeed she does. I believe in her as well."[/b] [b]"Artemus, arise."[/b] Artemus stood and looked to the gates. A wave of warm, sweet wind burst from the gates and crashed againg Artemus. His hair danced in the wind, his feathers ruffled and some fell at the mercy of the wind. A tear streamed from the corner of Artemus's eye. He breathed out and fell to his knees. [b]"Now, Artemus, Angel of Chaos, rise and go to her. Come home, my angel,"[/b] the resounding voice drifted into the wind. Darious rushed over to Artemus. Artemus started to cry, his body overwhelmed with joy. God had forgiven him. [/color][/size][/i]

[color=indigo][i][size=1]Tanya stood under the shower head. The hot water cascades down her smooth body. She winces as it flows down her wound. Ignoring the pain, Tanya washed off the sweat and blood from herself and got out. She took a towel and dried herself off. [b]"Tanya, how did you meet my cousin?"[/b] Naomi was getting dressed. [b]"I signed up for this mission and was accepted. I just met Raul three days ago,"[/b] Tanya slipped on her undergarments and her jeans and tanktop. [b]"Why did you take this mission?''[/b] Naomi sat down on the bench beside Tanya. Tanya looked at Naomi and thought about how silly the question was. Nonetheless, Tanya answered,[b] "Because, Une cannot continue with his lunatic antics. He will be stopped."[/b] Tanya laced her boots and stood up. Naomi stood as well and went to her locker. Tanya walked out of the showers and down the corridor. Her boots made dull thuds on the rubber-matted metal grate. She looked down at her side, satisfied that the wound was healing. [b]Why do I have to keep an eye on Gen? I'm not a babysitter, damn it...[/b] Tanya's face flushed in anger. She sighed heavily and looked up towards the ceiling of the corridor. Tanya continued to think but was suddenly jolted from her thoughts as she ran smack into someone. She stumbled back and looked up. [b]"Hello Maxwell,"[/b] Gen gave a half-ass smile which quickly faded to sheer annoyance of seeing Tanya. She gave him a cold, irritated glare. Tanya brushed her hair from her face and began to walk towards Gen. He did not flinch, rather kept his cat-like smirk. [b]"What in the hell is your problem? You just murdered hundreds of innocent bystanders,"[/b] Tanya stood firm, just a few feet from Gen. [b]"Terminating the target by all means neccessary,"[/b] Gen shrugged, careless of the crime he had committed. Tanya's eyes flickered with fury. She grabbed Gen by the scruff of his shirt and slammed him against the wall. [b]''May I remind you on the Rules of Engagment?! Those were innocent, unarmed men, women, and children! Children, Gen! They never had a fucking chance!"[/b] Tanya's voice cracked. Gen just sneered and remained calm, [b]"You are too soft to be a gundam pilot."[/b] [b]"Enough!''[/b] Tanya brought her knee hard into Gen's stomach, sending him to his hands and knees. Tanya glared down at Gen and shoved him to his side with one foot. She turned and walked away. Tanya walked into the briefing room and sat down on the table. Her face still flushed from her encounter with Gen. She wanted to kill him, but her morals were too high for that. Tanya took in a deep breath and relaxed. [b]Why does he defy me? That's not good for the next time we face Une..He's a good fighter, I'll give him that..I just wish he'd quit being..so..ugh![/b] Tanya shook her head and looked up to see Alex enter the room. [b]"Tanya, was it?"[/b] Alex looked at her curiously. [b]"Yes, I am Tanya Maxwell. And you are Alex, right?"[/b] Tanya stretched her arms above her head. [b]''Yes. You look pissed,"[/b] Alex smiled, he guessed she had run into Gen. [b]"You could say that. But, now I have more of a pleasant person to talk to,"[/b] Tanya gave a smile and slid off of the table.[/size][/color][/i]

[color=indigo][i][size=1]Tanya was greatly annoyed at Gen's arrogance. She turned Deathscythe around to face the battle in the sky. She glared up at Heavy Arms and took in a deep breath. [b]"Don't let him get to you...Concentrate on the matter at hand.."[/b] Tanya released her breath and began to thrust forward towards Une. A flicker on the screen and a crackle of static coming through her headset. Sandrock's pilot appeared on the screen. [b]"Excuse me, what should we do next? Should we fight or retreat?"[/b] Naomi scratched her head. Tanya sighed and looked around. The colony was being destroyed, innocent people murdered. Tanya ran a scan check on all of the gundam's systems. Wing's was winding down from all of the morphing and the Buster Rifle's blast. Heavy Arms was running low on ammunition. Sandrock was fine, as was Deathscythe. Shenlong just showed up and all systems were go. [b]"Tanya,"[/b] Raul's face appeared on the computer screen,[b] "Have all pilots stop their fighting and come back to the ship. We cannot stay here anylonger, we are endangering the colony. Is that understood?"[/b] [b]They could continue,[/b] Tanya thought, [b]but I cannot allow this colony to be ripped apart.."Understood..Attention all gundam pilots: Discontinue your fighting at once. We need to get back to the ship. Heavy Arms, your ammunition is running low. Wing, your system is showing signs of wear from all of your morphing. Stand down pilots and return to the ship.''[/b] Wing reluctantly stood down. Heavy Arms on the other hand continued to fight with Une. Tanya sighed and shook her head. [b]How did I know that.."Heavy Arms, that's an order,"[/b] Tanya's voice remained calm. [b]"I take no orders from any pilot other than myself,"[/b] Gen's voice crackled through Tanya's headset. [b]"The order comes directly from Raul Winner. If you have a problem with that, take it up with him,''[/b] Tanya smirked and narrowed her eyes. Heavy Arms hesitated for a second then lowered his weapons. Une took the opportunity to retreat, his armor was still melting from the Buster Rifle's attack. Heavy Arms turned to face Deathscythe. Tanya knew she had really irked Gen. She didn't care. [b]"All gundams, follow me,"[/b] Tanya pressed down on the foot pedals and thrusted forward towards the ship.[/color][/size][/i]

[color=indigo][size=1][i][b]"You think that I would be a good leader?"[/b] Artemus turned his head slightly. [b]"Yes, you are strong and wise,"[/b] Nymphanie smiled, her face flushed at Artemus's stare. [b]"Well, I'm glad you have confidence in me,"[/b] Artemus stood up and stretched his magnificant wings,[b] "Come Nymphanie. We shall leave now," Artemus began to walk. "Where are we going?"[/b] Nymphanie stood and followed by Artemus's side. [b]"I want to see my boundaries on Heaven's grounds. I want to get you to the gates. Hopefully, God will allow me to walk you there,"[/b] Artemus took Nymphanie's hand. [b]"Do you think he will ever let you back inside?"[/b] Nymphanie stared with concern. Artemus stopped and looked upon the tainted earth. The wind whipped his golden locks around his eyes. His white clothing rippled over his lean figure. [b]"I wish I knew the answer to that. I have preyed for that answer for many millenia,"[/b] Artemus gave a faint smile and motioned Nymphanie to take to the air. Both soared gracefully, Artemus thought deeply on Nymphanie's question. [b]"Artemus, would you go back?"[/b] Nymphanie broke the silence. [b]"Without hesitation. I am vexed at God for allowing Heaven to crumble. I want to bring back serenity and faith back, and I want you to help. Your heart and soul is pure and full of love. You will be of great help to turning this war around. With you on God's side, Heaven may stand a chance,''[/b] Artemus smiles softly and brushes his hand over Nymphanie's face.[/color][/size][/i]

[color=indigo][size=1][i][b]OOC: Warning! Long post!![/b] _________________________ IC: Ruben disappeared from Tex's sight. She frantically ran down the corridors, searching. [b]"Ruben?! Ruben?!"[/b] Tex's voice rang, fear and quivering. No answer from Ruben. Tex came upon an intersection. She turned right. She cautiously jogged, her heart beat furiously against her breast. Tex thought it would jump from her throat at any second. Her stomach churned and knotted, adrenaline surged throughout her body, which was becoming numb. Her breath was sharp and shaky. Laughter flittered through her ears. Tex stopped dead in her jog. Her body drained of its warmth, she stood perfectly silent. The laughter floated on the air. Tex's lips trembled, her throat strained to swallow. [b]"Wh-who's there?"[/b] Tex gripped her Colt. [b]"Ah, Tex Crandell...You grace me once again with your presence...How delightful,"[/b] the voice slithered. Tex held up her Colt infront of her. She breathed heavy and slow as she rounded a corner. She thrust her arms into the corridor, eyes darted around. Tex spun around, nothing, no one. She turned around once more. Her heart beat faster, she could feel the pulsing in her lips, she could hear the thump-thump in her ears. A sinister chuckle. Tex swung around, nothing. [b]"Sh-show yourself, damn it!"[/b] Tex bellowed. [b]"What's wrong, Detective? Scared?''[/b] the voice slowly teased. A warm gush of wind brushed against Tex's neck. She jumped and spun around, nothing. She backed against the wall, her Colt firmly between her hands. Tears started to trickle down her numb, cold cheeks. The voice seemed familiar to Tex. She shifted her eyes to the left and right. The feeling that someone was in the vicinity began to creep through Tex's body. It then dawned on her, she knew the voice. [b]"Kenneth?....Is that you?"[/b] Tex's voice shook. [b]"Ah, you are as intelligent as they claimed. I am happy,"[/b] his voice echoed throughout the seemingly empty corridor. [b]"What happened to you? Where are you?"[/b] Tex began to walk back in the direction she came. [b]"Event Horizon knows everything that I desire...I desire power, and this ship gives it to me..."[/b] Kenneth's voice grew closer. Tex's tears flowed more freely, she slowly backed from the corridor. A presence from behind her, Tex spun around to face Kenneth. She burst into violent sobs and stumbled back. She tried to scream, but her throat clamped close. Her stomach flipped. Kenneth's smile was of pure evil and pleasure. His body dripped blood, deep lacerations were all that he wore. His face defiled, his eyes gouged from his skull, his hair was strands of bloody clots. Tex stared in utter horror, her body completely numb, her heart beat rapidly in her ears. Her skin erupted into goosebumps, hair standing on end. [b]"K-Ken-neth...."[/b] Tex muttered, her voice cracked. [b]"Hm,"[/b] Kenneth tilted his head and smiled in sheer arousal of Tex's twisted and petrified face. Tex backed away, slowly at first then she spun around to break into a run. She did not get but a foot before slamming into Kenneth. She fell to the metal grating and frantically crawled backwards, away from the decaying corpse infront of her. As Tex crawled away, Kenneth cooly walked towards Tex, a soft smile swept his face and he held out a mutilated hand. [b]"Come Tex. I thought we had a connection? This ship does wonders, join us. We can give you everything that you want,"[/b] Kenneth advanced. [b]"Keep away from me you SICK FUCK!!!!"[/b] Tex held up her Colt and let out a shot into Kenneth's forehead, right between the eyes. Kenneth roared with insane laughter and charged at Tex. She scampered to her feet and pulled on the chain of the crucifix Satell gave her. She thrust her hand at Kenneth. [b]"Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil!!!"[/b] Tex sceamed at Kenneth. [b]"Ahhh, you fucking whore!!!" [/b] Kenneth hissed. He thrust a fist into Tex's stomach. She fell to her knees and spat up blood. She looked up to be met with a heel to her face. She flew back a couple of feet and felt the tickling sensation of blood trailing from her nose. She blinked and felt Kenneth's tortured hands around her neck. [b]"OUR FATHER, WHO ART IN HEAVEN!!"[/b] Tex screamed at the top of her lungs. [b]"SHUT THE FUCK UP!!! GOD WILL NOT SAVE YOU!!!"[/b] Kenneth tightened one hand around Tex's neck and lifted her into the air. His other hand ventured down Tex's breast and to her sternum. His nails began to scratch and dig at her skin. Tex let out a stiffled, breathless squeal of agony. Kenneth's fingers dug deeper. Tex began to blackout from the emmense amount of pain. Kenneth's fingernails were now scrapping Tex's breast plate. Tex thought this was it, she felt her body slipping from this world. But Kenneth withdrew his hand and ripped Tex's sweater and tank top. His grip around Tex's throat loosened and Tex crumpled to the ground. She lay on her back and her eyes blinked slowly, her breath slow and heavy. Kenneth climbed ontop of Tex and licked over her stomach, exposed breasts, then around the wound. Tex tried to fight Kenneth, but she was still struggling to gain full conciousness. Kenneth pinned her arms to the grating and kissed her chest then slithered his tongue into the wound. He licked and lapped the pooling blood. Tex began to cry out loud, tears cascaded down the sides of her temples, her body shook. [b]"What's wrong, Tex? I'm not hurting you, am I?''[/b] Kenneth sneered sarcstically and moved his lips up Tex's neck. [b]"Hail Mary....full..of grace..The Lord is....with..thee.."[/b] Tex began to chant faintly. Kenneth gritted his teeth and released a hand to slap Tex. Bad move, Tex took her hand, which held the crucifix, and shoved it into a gapping wound across Kenneth's chest. Kenneth cried out and staggered backwards. The flesh and muscle around the crucifix began to smoke and dry up. Kenneth fell to his knees and looke up at Tex. She gave him an empty glare and watched him shrivel up. His dried body lay on the grate, Tex walked up and dug her heel into Kenneth's face. It turned to ash beneath her boot, as did the rest of his body. [b]"Holy Mary, pray for us sinners..now and at the hour of our deaths......Amen,"[/b] Tex reached down and took the crucifx from the pile of ash. She grabbed her sweater and covered herself the best she could. She turned and began to jog down the corridor, blood spilled profusely from her chest. She pressed the sweater harder onto the wound to help stop the bleeding. Tex sobbed and broke into a run to find someone she knew was still sane.[/color][/size][/i]

[color=indigo][size=1][i][b]OOC: Metatron, bro.."The face of the girl who he vaguely recognized to be the pilot of heavy arms popped up, glaring..." Tanya is Deatscythe..You might want to go back and edit that^^.. _______________________________________ "Shenlong.."[/b] Tanya smiled. She glared at Heavy Arms for a split second then turned her attention to the battle. Wing was preparing to fire at the scorpion MS, Une. Tanya's eyes trailed to Sandrock, who seemed to be holding ground. Bullets rained in Tanya's direction and she spun around. Heavy Arms sprayed more bullets and launched a few missiles. Tanya slammed her left foot down and Deathsycthe swerved to the left. She growled lightly and took off towards Heavy Arms, moving fluidly side to side. Tanya lifted the scythe into Deathscythe's right hand. Heavy Arms raised his arm and launched another attack. Tanya raised the scycthe and leapt into the air. Heavy Arms took to the air and the hatches on its chest swung open. Deathscythe swiftly spun to the right and slashed the scythe at Heavy Arms. Heavy Arms blocked and prepared to fire with its chest-incased machine guns. Tanya thrust Deathscythe forward and tackled Heavy Arms through an abandoned building. The two gundams landed on the debris littered streets. Deathscythe stood above Heavy Arms and brought a foot onto the chest hatches, the other on the gatling arm. Tanya held the ionic blade of the scythe to Heavy Arms face. Tanya's voice sunk low and full of anger. [b]"What in the crap are you doing, Gen? Do you wish to fight with me? I will warn you, I will not stop until you are dead,"[/b] Tanya's eyes raged. [b]"You would kill your own?"[/b] Gen smirked. [b]"You attacked me for no reason, you are not of my own,"[/b] Tanya inched the scythe closer to Heavy Arms,[b] "Now, give me one good reason as to why you attacked me and Wing. And I do not want to here that 'Any obstacles of interferrence shall be removed from all objectives at hand...' bull shit. I want a legitimate reason."[/b][/i][/size][/color]

[color=indigo][size=1][i][b]"Do not worry about it," Artemus[/b] smiled at Nymphanie. [b]"Why would God be upset with you?"[/b] Nymphanie tilted her head slightly,[b] "I'm sorry. I should not be asking you all of these questions." "You can ask me anything you want," Artemus[/b] sat up, [b]"God is unease because he has no stable plan. His status on this war is poor. I do not think he has an army even forming. Heaven at this time is already being taken over by Lucifer, just not in a way that one would think..."Artemus looked off into the dark horizon. [b]"I don't understand. How is it that Lucifer has already begun to take over Heaven?"[/b] Nymphanie brought her knees to her chest and hugged them close. [b] "It is becoming Hell itself. Unorganized, occupants are becoming untrustworthy, everyone is losing faith up stairs. They are begining to doubt God and turn on eachother. That's what just happened to [b]Delnoreth[/b]. God turned his back to the half-dragons. The angels in choir have seen this and are questioning themselves if they're going to be next..God's losing his grace....Lucifer has begun to reign, and he didn't have to send his armies in..God has done the dirty work.."[/b] Artemus twirled a blade of grass between his slender fingers.[/color][/size][/i]

[color=indigo][size=1][i][b]OOC: I will see what I can do.. ________________________________________ [u]ARTEMUS[/u] sighed slightly and closed his eyes. He thought about this woman. He knew she would leave at the drop of a hat. He wanted her to, but he knew she could not be accepted into Heaven. Her sould belonged to Lucifer, and he would not release it. Nymphanie would be a souless wanderer. But then the thought crossed his mind. [b]"Nymphanie, you did not give your soul to Lucifer, right?" *Please say no...* Artemus[/b] thought. [b]"I pledged my allegiance, not my soul. Why?"[/b] Nymphanie's silky hair danced in the breeze, which made him smile. [b]"Good, I can help you...sort of. I cannot get you into Heaven. I cannot even come close to the gates. But I can tell you that you have a chance to join God. He can see what I saw," Artemus[/b] rubbed the back of his hand on Nymphanie's arm. She blushed and looked into Artemus's eyes. Artemus winked at her. He didn't know why, but he liked Nymphanie. Her smile, her skin, her lavender hair, she more resembled an angel rather than a follower of Lucifer. But that was an incorrect statement, she did not follow him. [b]"So you are saying I have a pretty good chance?"[/b] Nymphanie smiled with hope flashing through her eyes. [b]"Yes, you do. But the problem is, how to get you to the gates..I cannot step foot on the grounds and in the eyes of the other angels, you are an enemy.." Artemus[/b] sighed. [b]"Um, Artemus...Would it be too much to ask if I could travel with you...Just until we can figure out how to get me to the gates. If I'm going to be a problem, don't worry ab-"[/b] Nymphanie was cut short by Artemus's hand. [b]"You are of no problem. I would be glad to have you beside me," Artemus[/b] moved his hand over her cheek and withdrew,[b]"You can travel with me. I would be honored."[/b] [b]Artemus[/b] took Nymphanie's hand into his and squeezed it gently. She smiled, relief washed over her face. [b]"Thank you, Artemus,"[/b] Nymphamine squeezed back. Both sit on the grass and allowed the sweet breeze caress their wings and skin. They watched the clouds gather in grey puffs, God was at unease. Artemus smirked and shook his head.[/color][/size][/i]

[color=indigo][size=1][i][b]"'Nymphanie', that is a beautiful name," Artemus[/b] rubbed her hand with his thumb. [b]"I like yours, too,"[/b] Nymphanie's face flushed slightly, her eyes shifted away from Artemus's. Artemus smiled at her and looked her in the face. He felt something within Nymphanie, his hand tightened around her hand. Visions of darkness, fire, and pain surged through his pure mind. He quickly realized what he was seeing and released Nymphanie's hand, not rigidly but calmly. [b]"You serve Lucifer, do you not?"[/b] Artemus stepped back, slightly disappointed and angered. [b]"That I do,"[/b] Nymphanie looked down. [b]Artemus[/b] sensed that she was ashamed of her alligance. He walked up to her and took her face into his hands. She flinched and looked nervously at Artemus. Her flesh burned in Artemus's hands. He looked deep into her eyes, he was searching her soul. [b]"You are ashamed of your alligance. You secretely wish to flee from Lucifer. You feel like there is something more for you to do, something better you should be part of. You've even considered leaving Lucifer and pledging your soul to God," Artemus[/b] released Nymphanie's face, his face of understanding and collected thought. Nymphanie stared at him and blinked several times before she spoke. [b]"H-how did-?"[/b] she began. [b]"It is best that you don't ask questions to which you already know the answer,"Artemus[/b] sat down on the ground. His silky wings spread along the grass. The breeze ruffled his golden hair and his feathers. He smiled up at Nymphanie and motioned her to sit next to him. [b]"You..are not going to kill me?"[/b] Nymphanie hesitated. [b]"Now why would I do that? You have a pure heart, I saw it within your eyes. Now, sit with me for a while. I wish to rest for a few minutes and wouldn't mind such sweet company," Artemus[/b] patted the ground beside him. Nymphanie smiled, and with slight hesitation she sat down beside Artemus. He looked at her then to the sky. [b]"What would make you want to leave Lucifer?" Artemus[/b] broke the awkward silence.[/color][/size][/i]

[color=indigo][size=1][i][b]"Son of a bitch! A man can't think with some trigger-happy freak firing missiles every which way!!" [/b]Raul screamed while scrambling about to launch a decoy ship. [b]"Then don't think,"[/b] Tanya smiled and ran over to help. [b]"How is your wound?"[/b] Raul looked concerned. Tanya winced slightly and gently patted her side. She had gotten shot while distracting Une's forces the night before. She looked down at her side then back to Raul. [b]"All's well,''[/b] both pilots fell to their knees as an explosion viberated the warehouse. [b]"Damn that bastard!"[/b] Raul shook his fist as he helped Tanya to her feet. Her wound reopened and began to blotch the white bandages with speckles of red. She quickly threw on her jacket so Raul wouldn't see. She rushed over to the control panel and flipped a few switches. She grabbed Raul's arm and drug him out of the decoy. [b]"I'm going after Deathscythe. We have to stop this sick fuck,"[/b] Tanya jumped down to the deck and took off out of the warehouse. [b]"Tanya!! Damn that girl,"[/b] Raul watched the decoy take off to make sure it did its job. Meanwhile, Tanya's boots slapped and pounded the concrete of the streets. Deathscythe's warehouse was blocks away. An explosion sent Tanya sprawling into a window of a store. She stood up and dusted the glass from her body. The civilians screamed and held onto eachother as the brawling outside continued to shake the colony. Tanya shook her head and jumped back onto the streets. The sound of clips and rounds, bullets whizzing past her, debris from crumbling buildings, hissing from the mobile suits' hydrolics systems, screaming from the colony citizens, all was but a symphony to Tanya. Her adrenaline coursed through her veins, a shudder of excitement as she drew closer to Deathscythe. She rounded the corner and faced Heavy Arms battling a mobile suit. She stared in admiration, the sheer magnitude of these machines always amazed Tanya. She snapped out of her daydreaming and bolted for the warehouse her love was in. Occasional explosions forced Tanya to her hands and knees or into buildings or parked vehicles. She staggered through the alleyways and finally reached the warehouse. Tanya's heart raced with joy and anxiety, she burst through the heavy doors and ran blindly into the darkness. Tanya skidded to a halt infront of a gargantuan, black tarp. The fireballs from random explosions lit up the warehouse. Tanya's heart was ready to burst from her breast as she walked up to the tarp. She grabbed the corner and pulled as hard she could. The tarp crinkled and rippled down, teasingly revealing the beauty underneath. The tarp finally fell to the floor, Deathscythe stood magnificantly. The titanium alloy glittered in the light from the fire. Deathscythe's eyes twinkled as Tanya climbed the ramp to enter the cockpit. She lifted a small latch and pressed a button. The hatch hissed and clanked open, beckoning Tanya to enter. She smiled and sat down in the pilot's seat. She ran her fingers lovingly over the control panels and computer screens. She pressed and flipped switches, the cockpit lit up with greens, reds, and blues. Tanya's face flushed with excitement as the computer screens flickered on. She punched in the codes for Deathscythe's systems and sat back. A low, octave hum signaled Tanya that Deatscythe was waking. The eyes glew bright blue, a soft whistle of computers starting the hyper drive and thrusters, a low viberation of Deathscythe's anxious movement. Tanya shuddered, aroused by the pleasure of Deathscythe's power and grace. [b]"Tanya, where are you? You are with Deathscythe, right?"[/b] Raul's voice broke through Tanya's revered thoughts. [b]"Yes, I am heading out,"[/b] Tanya looked to the computer screen and gave Raul a wink,[b]"Did the decoy work?"[/b] [b]"For now. Let's just see how long it will take for Une to realize it was fake,"[/b] Raul smiled, pleased by his slight victory. Tanya gave a chuckle and thrust forward on the controls. Deathscythe took off through the wall of the warehouse. She smiled and looked around for a mobile suit. Tanya saw Heavy Arms to her left and another gundam she recognized to be Wing to her right. It looked like he was having a little bit of trouble, Tanya thrust forward.[/color][/size][/i]

[color=indigo][size=1][i][b]OOC: Scores! Someone is falling for my character^^..I don't blame her, he's freakin hot!! [/b] _______________________________________ [b]"This sword is for you if you continue to seek out Delnoreth," Artemus[/b] sheathed his diamond sword and looked at Gam. [b]"What is your alligance, your Majesty?"[/b] Gam nearly choked on her words when [b]Artemus[/b] shot her a cold glare. [b]"Do not address me as 'Majesty'. You are not at liberty to address me as such," Artemus[/b] gave her a blank expression then took to the sky. He soared in frustration. He beat his wings and pushed himself to ultimate speed. He skimmed the lands below and spotted a beautiful woman. She looked to be alone and sad. [b]Artermus[/b] slowed his pace and swooped down to face this woman. [b]"What is a lady doing out here in times like these?" Artemus[/b] walked up to the woman. [b]"That is my business, angel,"[/b] the woman smiled. [b]"Then at least tell me thy name?" Artemus[/b] smiled softly.[/color][/size][/i]

[color=indigo][size=1][i][b]"What all do you know about the numbers hiring assassins? Do you know who they are?"[/b] Brody sat her glass on the table. [b]"I don't know their names. I just know that they are elite,"[/b] Gen looked at Frank who was staring. [b]"Frank,"[/b] Brody kicked him underneath the table,[b] "I want to know more about these assassins. I knew this would happen, it was just a matter of time. Gen, I want their names and profiles, do you think you could take care of that?"[/b] [b]"I am sure I can do that,"[/b] Gen nodded. [b]"What do you want me to do, Brody?"[/b] Frank raked his fingers through his hair. [b]"I need you to find a place for us to stay. Somewhere where no one should know about,"[/b] Brody rubbed her hand over her face. [b]"It shall be done,"[/b] Frank smiled. Brody gave him and Gen a thankful look and sighed deeply. At this time, the door opened and the sound of heels clicked on the granite floor. Brody looked at the woman who just walked in. The woman spotted Brody, Gen, and Frank and smiled. [b]"Well, well, well. I didn't expect to find you in a resteraunt,"[/b] the woman walked over and gave Brody a hug. [b]"Hello to you Terran. I was going to give you a call,"[/b] Brody offered Terran to sit. [b]"Did you find a place yet?"[/b] Terran sat down between Brody and Gen. [b]"That's his job,"[/b] Brody pointed to Frank,[b]"His name is Frank, and this is Gen."[/b] [b]"Nice to meet you both,"[/b] Terran smiled and shook hands with Gen and Frank. [b]"Terran, I want you to stick with Gen. Help her find anything and everything you two can about these assassins that Roger has sent after me,"[/b] Brody leaned on her elbows. [b]"Right,"[/b] Terran nodded and looked at Gen.[/color][/size][/i]

[color=indigo][size=1][i][b]"State your name I say,"[/b] Delnoreth clutched his fist. [b]"I am Artemus, Angel of Chaos,"[/b] Artemus spread his wings and took a slight bow. [b]"Feh, you are not worthy of such title, renegade,"[/b] Delnoreth spat,[b]"You were cast out of Heaven."[/b] [b]"That was all on Him,"[/b] Artemus looked up to the sky with a scornful glare,[b] "He should have listened to me. No, now he must deal with the consequences of his prideful actions. He cast me out becaus he did not want to admit someone else was right.."[/b] [b]"What are you talking about? You were cast from Heaven because you defied his commands,"[/b] Delnoreth spoke in a matter of factly tone. Artemus rolled his head to stare into Delnoreth's eyes. His face was of not anger or annoyance, rather of a cunning cat. Delnoreth narrowed his eyes at Artemus's new expression. [b]"Fool, God lies. Were you not aware?"[/b] Artemus fully faces Delnoreth. [b]"God would never,"[/b] Delnoreth prostested. [b]"Never say 'never', for it jumps up and bites you in the rump. God lied to all in Heaven to save himself the embarrassment of the fault of this piss-poor war,''[/b] Artemus nearly spat. [b]"What are you saying? God is responsible for this war?"[/b] Delnoreth almost chuckled. [b]"Yes, I gave him a prophecy the day I was cast out, long before you existed. I saw this war coming, and I saw the result..God's defeat. So, being the good angel that I am, I approached God and warned him. He mocked me and told me that there was no such prophecy. I humbily backed down..but then my visions persisted. I went back to God and he grew furious with me. He called me a follower of Lucifer because I could see such things. I called him a liar, he cast me out of Heaven...long story short. So you see, I was thrown out for innocence...and he knows it and so does Lucifer. That is why I was never allowed back, because of God's pride. If he accepted me back, that would be a crime against his own words..but if he kept me from Heaven, Lucifer was and is sure to bring Heaven and God to their knees. I am the only one who knows how to stop Lucifer, but I cannot do a thing about it,"[/b] Artemus sat in the air and folded one leg over the other. [b]"I am a messanger of God, tell me how to stop Lucifer. I promise, I can get your voice heard,"[/b] Delnoreth offered a friendship. [b]"No, I will not. I am a rengade. By his laws, you shouldn't even be speaking with me,"[/b] Artemus flapped his wings. [b]"Then why did you attack me?"[/b] Delnoreth looked to Artemus, confused. [b]"Alas, I did not attack you. You attacked me,"[/b] Artemus held up a hand,[b] "I approached you to ask what the status for Heaven was..out of curiousity. I know I can tell you just this..Lucifer's army is greatly increasing in followers. I pray that God is conjuring up an army just as grand." "How do you know about Lucifer's army?"[/b] Delnoreth blinked. [b]"Ah, still a fool? I have been banished to this mortal earth ages before your existance. I have done a great amount of time observing the activities of this slowly boiling war,"[/b] Artemus straightened up,[b] "Now, I think I have spoken to you long enough. I do not wish to get you cast from the glorious splendor of Heaven." "Artemus....Will you fight in this war?"[/b] Delnoreth advanced a bit towards the rogue angel. [b]"If I must, I must,"[/b] Artemus winked over his shoulder and sheathed the Blade of Purity. [b]"Who's side will you fight with?" "It's all up to the big guy. If he swallows his pride, accepts the truth and his humiliation, I will fight along side you...If not, I will not join either side. Rather, I will watch this war and pray for the many souls that will be lost. It's all up to God and his sinful pride, and if he forgives me for being right,"[/b] Artemus turns to fly off. He leaves Delnoreth to his thoughts. Artemus soared majestically through the air. The wind tugs and nips at his golden hair.[/color][/size][/i]
