Akieen Cloud

[font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]Akieen chuckled nervously before waving slightly at the half demon, Ivil looking from one to the other.[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]"So, what's the history between you two?" Kayin shot the human a small look and Akieen flinched slightly.[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]"No 'history' per say. Like I told you, I'm blamed for the plague of were wolves. People want me dead, he's been hired on more then on occasion to hunt me. By the way...Kayin...are you still mad about that Canada inccedent a few years back...?"[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]His eyes suddenly narrowed.[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]"Right, got it...take that as a yes...won't mention it again."[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]Ivil looked confused.[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]"Canada?" "He found me hiding out there...got into a pretty good fight, broke an ice rink...he was pretty pissed...doesn't like getting wet. I think it's the electrical thing...I dunno."[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]Kay's eye's narrowed even more making her sink into the couch.[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]"What would make you assume I do not like being wet?" "You looked like a drowning cat."[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]She felt the hair on her arms raise slightly, hearing small pops coming from the half demon.[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]"Right! I'll be in the kitchen!"[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]Jumping from the couch she walked quickly from the living room into the kitchen and leaned on the counter jumping slightly as Dark chuckled.[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]"You pissed him off pretty royally haven't you?" She shrugged.[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]"I'm always the one that got away."[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]"You sure he didn't just like that chase?" "Uh...no...I don't think so." "And why is that? A pretty woman-"[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]"He's chased me pretty much around the world...I think the worst one was Africa...it was hot as hell...I don't think he likes being hot either..."[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]"What makes you say that, he's a demon."[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]"He seemed more irritable then usual...I felt really bad for the lion that tried to pounce on him..."[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]She put her finger to her chin in thought Dark shaking his head. "Dare I ask?"[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]"I dunno, I was gone by then. All I heard was a roar, and when he turned around I ran. I wasn't sticking around for that!"[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]Dark chuckled.[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]"You really haven't changed much have you? You get people into the worst possible situations."[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]She scratched the back of her neck and laughed lightly.[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]"I really don't know how...or why...it just sort of...happens?"[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]"A jinxed were wolf. Who'da thunk it."[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]She chuckled before she paused and glared lightly at him.[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]"Meaning what Dark?" "I pity us, that's what."[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]She pouted slightly.[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]"I've gotten better."[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]Kayin's voice joined theirs as he entered the kitchen.[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]"I beg to differ."[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]Akieen whirled around glaring at him, her ice blue eyes pinning him which he seemed to effectively ignore.[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]"No one asked you moss head!"[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]She saw his eye twitch just slightly as he looked at her from the corner of his eyes.[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]"All these years of chasing you, I never knew you were still such a child."[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]Akieen crossed her arms and huffed as Dark laughed loudly.[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]"I like him!"[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]"Shut up Dark! No one asked you either!"[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]She glared at Kayin as he leaned back against the counter looking back at her.[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]"What? What are you looking at, Mr. I'm so cool, leaning against a counter."[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]He raised a brow at her.[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]"What are you 5?"[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]"I'm older then you dammit!" "You sure about that?"[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]Throwing her hands up in defeat she simply dropped down to the floor crossing her legs and arms huffing slightly.[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]"This trip is gonna be hell..."[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]Kayin looked down at her slightly.[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]"How DID you elude me all these years." She growled slightly.[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]"Wouldn't you like to know?"[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]"Yes actually, you seem rather clumsy for one of your kind, and to be known as the originator, your rather...not so awe inspiring in person."[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]"What the hell do you want from me fire fly?! Fire breathing? Lasers from my eyes? The best I can give you is I can eat you out of house and home alright?"[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]Kayin shook his head before he began walking out, his words soft but heard.[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]"Of that, I have no doubt."[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]Akieen scratched the top of her head frantically, growling, her canines elongated in her frustration.[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]"This is gonna SUCK!"[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]Dark chuckled at her as she picked her self up off the floor and sat on the counter, her arms crossed, fuming silently as they waited for the others.[/color][/font]

Alright, probably not gonna be my best work but I'm gonna give it a shot... Saph ran across the sand feeling her feet dip down and slow her up as she tried to get some distance between her and the Rover. She had plenty of drones on her heels and she was sure that her whips were almost used to their extent. She had wanted to wait to use this tactic but she didn't have much of a choice at the moment. There were to many of them, and they just seemed to keep coming. Getting a fair ways out she stopped and turned on the drones following her, their shields and small swords at the ready. "Alright you little rats, lets see how fast sturdy you really are." She slammed her fist into the side of the cockpit engaging a new system in Averin. 'Are you sure-' "To many, no choice Averin." The armor on her legs suddenly felt very heavy as it seemed to fold in on its self, her hands doing much the same. Her armor now thicker on her hands and from her knees down. As a drone came at her she quickly spun around crushing her left shin into it and caving it in on its self. The others seemed stunned for a moment as Saph and her knight took a fighting stance, bouncing lightly on the balls of her feet she waited. Another brave drone dove forward only to have Saph's no heavily armored hand smash into it's face taking half of it with her. "Averin, engage the whips." 'Are you sure, that's going to take a lot of power...' "Then you use me dammit, do it now." She heard the sizzle of the whips as they dropped down, swinging her arms in wide archs they wrapped around her hands tightly, the next drone going down in convulsions as the white hot electricity coursed through it's body. "Head back towards the others, they might need us." 'My sensors tell me that Hunter and Crimson are in the least amount of danger, Obsidian and Shu have received minor injuries, their KNIGHTs much the same.' "Get me over there." 'Roger that.' Averin moved towards the others, stopping as a loud bellow sounded next to them, Saph's heart froze. "Averin move now!" They barely had time before a large spiked club made a divet where they once stood. Saph looked up into the terrifying face of a King Beast. "Averin...call for back up..." 'None of them can come to our aide...' She cursed and brought up her leg as it swung again, the vibrations making her dizzy for a moment as the blow shook her to her core. "Averin...we can't do this on our own..." 'Affirmative...but we don't have a choice. Do you trust me woman?' "You know I do." Saph's body suddenly felt powerful, her limbs stronger, her vision brighter. "What did you do?" 'Direct link, you have my strength as well as your own, use it well." She nodded and stood slowly, her confidence returning slightly as she faced the King Beast one on one. Side stepping another blow she threw out her left fist catching the King Beast, knocking it's left horn from it's head, snapping it clean away. It bellowed in anger and came at her, side stepping again she brought up her knee into it's stomach causing a small dent to appear there, the monster bent over in pain, bringing up her right hand she was about to throw a punch across the back of it's neck when it spun around and caught her wrist deftly. "Averin!" 'I do not know what to do...I have no real weapons woman, I'm a medic." She thought quickly, but not quick enough, blood filled her mouth, coating her tongue and staining her teeth as the King Beast's massive hoofed hand slammed into her torso. Coughing loudly, her ears ringing she could hear the others dimly calling to her, Averin yelling at her to stand. She could smell the blood from her mouth as she looked around, pain erupting from the side of her head another hoofed came across, the King Beast kicking her across the side of the head to keep her dazed and down. 'Get up woman or this is the end of you!' Saph smiled, her ears still ringing as she try to get up, she could hear the wind whistling from the King Beasts club, she knew it was coming for her. "A-Averin...the defibs...over load them" 'That will fry anything within a mile radius!' She nodded, hearing the stubborn tone she grit her teeth. "Do it." The sound of the defibrillators charging could be heard, her hands getting hot, unbearably so, getting up on her knees just far enough she released the pulse as she slammed her fist into the sand. It was weak and she knew it would only daze her enemy, but the shock traveled far enough to stun the King Beast, Saph on the other hand could hardly move and after what seemed like just a few seconds, the King Beast was moving again, raising it's club. Saph brought her arm up to block the attack, screaming as she felt the armor on her arm shatter, the bones in her arm doing the same as she went down hard into the sand. The King Beast now standing over her prone form.

[font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]I keep hearing about this, and I keep trying to block it out...not because I don't want to hear about it...just cause it hurts to much. I have a 7 year old son, that just under 3 years ago lived not far from Newton. My ex husband was in the Navy and was stationed at the Navy base in Groton CT, it was only an hour and a half away...I had nightmares last night about if this person had chosed my son's school instead...and I can't imagine what the parents are going through. These kids were defenseless and didn't deserve this...and the kids who survived, they're just as bad off, having to see something like this...it's no doubt ruined most if not all of them for the rest of their lives. It's tragic and horrific that some one could be so callous, and messed up in the head to want to kill children like this...some as young as 5...[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]But in response to this, I'm fighting the whole 'ban guns' thing...my friend said it best.[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]Crack is illegal, yet there are still crack heads out there, if this person was messed up enough to do this, what makes anyone think he wouldn't have been willing to get his weapon illegally? [/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]Fact is, if we look at it rationally, we need to have teachers who are trained and permitted to carry concealed weapons, so that if something like this happens again(Which as much as I hate to say it, I'm with Inu. I feel it's just the beginning...) these teachers will have the means to protect their students instead of losing their lives to mad men. [/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]And on the note of agreeing with Inu on this being just the beginning... I have yet to learn this man's name, and I refuse to learn it. I refuse to learn anything about him. Reason being, look at the media, look at how they handle every instance like this one. The killers are always the main talk, you hardly ever hear about the victims, I bet not one person off the streets could tell me one of those children's names. But they could tell me his in a heart beat. We feed this kind of thing with media and it makes me sick. We pretty much idolize these crazed people by talking about them for days, weeks, years even, we compare it to old instances like it and make other insane people want to top it. If your about to off your self, would you rather do it in your basement? Where no one finds you for days, to die a sad, mentally F-ed up nobody? Or would you rather be remembered? Go and do something so drastic and evil your name and face will be remembered in family houses every where for years to come...what better way then to attack a grade school and kill children and teachers?[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]It's sick and twisted and my heart goes out to the families that lost someone...[/color][/font]

lol alright, thanks man. Just got some family issues going on right now and I'm at kinda of a writers block. So hopefully someone can come up with something to get me sparked back up. *sighs* hate when this happen.

Okay all, if you want to keep posting in this please feel free. I've kinda hit a rut, things are alittle rough right now so it's hard for me to really concentrate very much and I'm having no ideas when it comes to this. So if any of you all have any good ideas on how to move the fight along please feel free. I don't want this to die just because I'm off my groove. Sorry for the trouble guys, I'll try to get back into it as soon as I can. v.v;;

[color=#ff0000][font='comic sans ms', cursive]Ok everyone, sorry this took so long, life's been dealing a few low blows lately but I'm gonna try and push through it and get this going for you all. [/font][/color] [color=#ff0000][font='comic sans ms', cursive]Again, warnings are for a mature RP, blood, gore, violence, sexual content. You all know the drill.[/font][/color] [color=#000080][font='comic sans ms', cursive] Akieen paced back and forth in front of the bay window of the small apartment they were supposed to be meeting in, she could feel her canines pressing into the back of her lips as she chewed on the end of an unlit cigarette. She hated smoking but sometimes it was the only way to calm her nerves enough to not let her beast show. Even with the ability to completely control her transformations, being free of the moon, her anger and anxiety still made what she was very apparent. This was one of those times, there were others like her coming into this town she lived in, there were creatures of the darkest nightmares coming to meet her, some she was sure it wouldn't be the first time meeting them. There was one in particular she was sure would not be most pleased with her being part of this 'Rescue Mission'. She whipped around as the door opened and one of the humans walked in, with a box of doughnuts and coffees of all things.[/font][/color] [color=#000080][font='comic sans ms', cursive]"You really expect us to eat those?" "Do you not eat human foods?" "Oh we do...just depends on who you brought in."[/font][/color] [color=#000080][font='comic sans ms', cursive]He lifted his eye brows as if just realizing something and put the drinks and food on the small table in the middle of the barren room, quickly pulling out an envelope and handing it to her. Obviously proud of him self. [/font][/color] [color=#000080][font='comic sans ms', cursive]"What's this kid?" She saw his cheeks redden slightly, she liked him a lot more then the other two that thought they were better.[/font][/color] [color=#000080][font='comic sans ms', cursive]"It's a list of all the operatives we've brought in."[/font][/color] [color=#000080][font='comic sans ms', cursive]Akieen nodded and pulled out the papers and began to look through them, she was shocked to see there was another were wolf joining them, she could only hope there would be no 'Alpha' nonsense between the two of them. [/font][/color] [color=#000080][font='comic sans ms', cursive]"Let's see here. Were wolf, Daemon...He tends to be somewhat..."[/font][/color] [color=#000080][font='comic sans ms', cursive]"Out there?" She chuckled at his choice of words.[/font][/color] [color=#000080][font='comic sans ms', cursive]"Oh, I suppose you can say that, as a matter of fact...I know Dark and he can be a bit more then 'out there'."[/font][/color] [color=#000080][font='comic sans ms', cursive]She shook her head at the thought of the cheerful Daemon. Continuing through the list she reached over and plucked a coffee from the others and began to sip it carefully.[/font][/color] [color=#000080][font='comic sans ms', cursive]"This Lex character sounds rough...what's known about him?"[/font][/color] [color=#000080][font='comic sans ms', cursive]"Not much, he kinda stays away from us." "How'd you get a hold of him?" "He came to us to be honest. Said something about an accident. I dunno."[/font][/color] [color=#000080][font='comic sans ms', cursive]She shook her head at the young man as he began to look around, Akieen looked at the unlit cigarette between her fingers.[/font][/color] [color=#000080][font='comic sans ms', cursive]"Hey kid, you got a light?" "Huh? Oh yeah!"[/font][/color] [color=#000080][font='comic sans ms', cursive]He produced a lighter for her and shortly after the stagnant smell of smoke filled the room as Akieen continued to look. She read more on the other were wolf and felt her heart sink slightly. He was still victim to his anger and the full moon.[/font][/color] [color=#000080][font='comic sans ms', cursive]"That could be a small problem." "The were wolf dude? Yeah, I hear he's better then most though. I guess he can control his anger better then most of his kind."[/font][/color] [color=#000080][font='comic sans ms', cursive]Akieen scoffed.[/font][/color] [color=#000080][font='comic sans ms', cursive]"What's your name kid?"[/font][/color] [color=#000080][font='comic sans ms', cursive]He chuckled and scratched the back of his neck.[/font][/color] [color=#000080][font='comic sans ms', cursive]"Ivil."[/font][/color] [color=#000080][font='comic sans ms', cursive]"Cool name, how do you know so much about these guys?" "I read over shoulders a lot."[/font][/color] [color=#000080][font='comic sans ms', cursive]She laughed at this and nodded before she looked over her shoulder at him.[/font][/color] [color=#000080][font='comic sans ms', cursive]"Does that mean you know what I am?" "Yup! I know your the originator, I know that you can control your self through both anger and the moon. And I know that all those tales about silver and wolfs bane are all lies."[/font][/color] [color=#000080][font='comic sans ms', cursive]"Hmm, pretty good."[/font][/color] [color=#000080][font='comic sans ms', cursive]She looked back at the files reading through Barracus, she felt her body freeze as she came to the next name. [/font][/color] [color=#000080][font='comic sans ms', cursive]"****..."[/font][/color] [color=#000080][font='comic sans ms', cursive]"What?" "K-Kayin...? They brought in Kayin?"[/font][/color] [color=#000080][font='comic sans ms', cursive]"You know him?" "Oh I've run into him once or twice in our long lives...and it was never pretty." "Did you fight?" "Well...not exactly...more or less...he's a hunter, and he hunts evil...I'm kinda depicted as evil here kid. People who know me, think I created the plague of were wolves out there. You know, the feral ones that bite to change people but most often wind up ripping them to shred and eating them? Yeah...they think I did that."[/font][/color] [color=#000080][font='comic sans ms', cursive]"So...how do you make another one of you...?" "I can't. And even if I could, I wouldn't."[/font][/color] [color=#000080][font='comic sans ms', cursive]She could see the pout beginning and looked away from him and continued to look at the picture of the green haired half demon. She sighed and shook her head.[/font][/color] [color=#000080][font='comic sans ms', cursive]"This might not be the best reunion I've ever had. At least I get to see Dark again."[/font][/color] [color=#000080][font='comic sans ms', cursive]Shaking her head she finished her coffee just as there was a knock on the door. Ivil jumping slightly before bounding forward.[/font][/color] [color=#000080][font='comic sans ms', cursive]"That must be them starting to arrive!"[/font][/color] [color=#000080][font='comic sans ms', cursive]Akieen took a drag of what was left of her burning cigarette as she watched the door. [/font][/color]

Alright, I will try to have this up and moving later on today, have to post in my on going RP and then I will begin working on this. ^^

Alright everyone. looks good. Inu, I'd actually prefer if we don't have the ghost car. If only cause we'll be going around the world for the most part and a talking car is kind of a dead give away. ^^; Other then that looks great. I'll start it in the next day or so.

Looks good Inu. ^^ Welcome to the team.

[font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]Another Mature RP. This will contain, blood, gore, language and possible sexual content. You've been fairly warned.[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]Akieen sat across the table from the man, his suite was neatly pressed and she could smell his old spice deodorant from where she was, sucking on her teeth slightly she caught his attention and flashed a fanged grin his way before the door opened behind her and another man walked in. He was tall and muscular, not as neatly pressed as the man before her, but still uniform. His smell was different, and it clashed with the first man's horribly, Degree...she wrinkled her nose in protest but remained silent.[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]"Akieen Weathers, do you know why we've brought you in?"[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]She reclined back in her chair and laced her hands behind her head.[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]"Not a fuckin clue boss, what's up?"[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]"Well for one, your attitude needs to change real fast, this is a serious meeting Ms. Weathers." "Please, no need for formality. I mean, you already took me from my own home with no provocation."[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]"We have cause Ms. Weather, trust me. But we need your cooperation."[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]She heaved a sigh and righted her self looking at the man across the table at her first, then glancing to the man behind her.[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]"What's with the serious faces?" "Will you cooperate?" "If just to get you to shut up? Sure."[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]The men both sighed, the man by the door moving around her as he placed a thick manila folder on the table in front of her. [/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]"What's this? Naughty pictures of what I did last night?" "Not exactly, well not you any way. In this folder are pictures of a target we're currently after. He's a strange man, with even stranger ways of eluding us. His name is Rasputin, and he's-"[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]"I know who he is...I thought he was dead?" "He's supposed to be, but somehow he survived the torture of the Romenovs."[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]"Dandy..."[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]Akieen flipped through the photos one after the other, her teeth paining her little by little more as they elongated in irritation.[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]"So, what do you need me for?" "We know what you are Weathers, you and about half of this god forsaken city."[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]Akieen felt a tick pulse on her right side as she slapped a hand over her eyes.[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]"Are you idiots out of your mind? Are you threatening to out me and the rest of the population if we don't help you with what ever the hell you want?" "No. We need your help. You and who ever else is willing to do so. We need you and the others, your the only ones who can stand up against this mad man."[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]Akieen felt a growl bubble in her throat but held it as she stood and paced. The last encounter with this man rushing back to haunt her.[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]"You can forget it. I can't help you."[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]"How can you not? Your the originator of your kind!" "I am my kind! I'm the only! All those others out there are just beasts! It's you humans who turned them into that, taking my DNA and making a disease to haunt me for the rest of my life. Cure for cancer my furry ass!"[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]She glared at them now, her original Ice Blue eyes were now Violet and piercing in her anger, she closed her eyes and took a deep breath the calm her nerves.[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]"What's in it for me?" "You save the world, and your secret stays safe. My team and I will personally see to it that this city remains a safe haven for you and your ilk."[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]"Oh lovely. Who else have you contacted? Since I know of most of them." "But how-"[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]"You live for almost 800 years and tell me how you don't know all of your neighbors. Who else is there?" "We aren't sure yet...no one has accepted our offer." "Can you blame them? What are the details of this any way, what is he after?" "We believe he wants to open the Opal Gate." "The door way to Hell? Seriously?"[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]Pinching the bridge of her nose she sighed and stood smoothly, her long pale colored hair swishing at the backs of her knees, her pale skin shifting with the muscle hidden just underneath. Her eyes, now back to the Ice Blue looked from one man to the next. [/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]"I'll help you, but only because I don't want my life to fall to **** if I don't. I just have one question, why me?" "Ms. Weathers, your the first of your kind, the original. The strongest." "Do you even know what I am kid?" "Please don't call me that Ma'am."[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]"Why not?

She wasn't happy about this whole situation, she was going to possibly be paired with a hash of supernatural night walkers as they were called, she was sure she'd meet a few she knew already; which worried her more. But worse, was their kinds not always got along. She knew there were a few she disliked her self, Skinners being the main one. Demons who take over a human to know what 'living' is truly like. She shivered at the thought...and then there was the thought of running into 'him' again. It had been years, maybe even a century or two since she had last seen him, the thought of that alone made her want to reconsider. Shaking it off she went home and pulled a package of steak from her ice box, heating them up briefly in the microwave she sat at her table and ate them silently as she looked over the photos in the folder. [/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]Rasputin...he was alive...and he was just as demonic as ever it seemed. She vowed all those years ago that she would never let him have his way. She wasn't about to go back on her word now. Licking her fingers clean of blood and fat juice she continued her study as the sound of night crept in, her world taking over for the 12 hours, she relished the sounds as she looked through the folder as she realized...her life just got a whole lot more difficult. [/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]Welcome to Monsters: A Hellboy sort of inspired RP. The things that go bump in the night are our only hope.[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]Now, Character wise, I'd prefer it if the humans sat this one out, we're facing some big dogs here and humans haven't a chance in hell to survive. Now, that being said, there is plenty of lore out there for those of us who think out side the box, lots of dark tales of creepy crawly creatures of the night. Now, if nothing out there known to man tickles your fancy and you have one of your own, feel free to use it; just make sure to detail it so we all know what your workin with. There can be more then one species, lets not forget that, although there are some minor differences in this supernatural world of mine then others that I'll explain. [/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]First off, werewolves are not bred or bitten, they are scientific accidents that got out of hand and are now a plague of sorts. There are very few who can control them selves when they change on a full moon. Akieen is the only one who has control over her change completely. [/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]If you want to be a vampire, feel free; BUT every vampire comes from specific clans. Corvus, Taki, Agaline, and Elfik are the 4 vampire clans in the city. You must hail from one of these four. And of course for each clan is this the Original. If you choose to be an original make sure your state that. Also, Silver, garlic, crosses and sunlight are not factors in my world. Vampires do not LIVE off of blood, they can eat regular food and function like a normal human, they need blood at least once a day to stay active. Also...they do NOT sparkle.

Her temper is fairly calm for a werewolf, able to keep her cool in most situations. She's really rather child like, curious to no end and a tad nosy she likes to know what's going on, whether is has to do with her or not. Her appetite is one to be reckoned with.

Although while in her wolf form her teeth and claws play a major part of her fighting. [/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]History: Akieen is the first Werewolf, the original of her kind. Since then she's not sure how the others have come to be but she knows it was not her doing. Very different from the current day werewolves she's immune to silver and wolf's bane, having no reaction to the wild flower other then a sneeze here and there. She's able to control her change and has no loyalty to the full moon, although on full moons her senses are heightened immensely and she prefers to change during this time. [/color][/font]

[font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]Saph felt her skin chill over as the light dimmed and the bay doors opened allowing them all to see the Rover, is was huge, and made protecting it seem impossible. But without an unspoken agreement the pilots all turned and entered their KNIGHTs. Saph felt the body suite stretch over her skin as the cockpit door closed allowing the cockpit to come to life. [/color][/font] [color=#ff0000][font='comic sans ms', cursive]'Woman, do you realize that this is possibly a trap?'[/font][/color] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]"What choice do we have Averin? These people aren't safe."[/color][/font] [color=#ff0000][font='comic sans ms', cursive]'And neither are you so long as your protecting them.'[/font][/color] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]"It's our job. Are the diagnostic runs complete?"[/color] [color=#ff0000]'Finished them a little bit ago.'[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]"How are we looking?"[/color][/font] [color=#ff0000][font='comic sans ms', cursive]'Running smoothly.'[/font][/color] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]"Good. Let's go."[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]It didn't take long for the citizens of the base to move into the rover, and Saph took her position with Shu and Obsidian as they emerged from the base walking on the sides of it. She could hear the faint grumblings of Hunter, but her eyes landed on the small jeep rolling infront of the Rover, containing Bear and a few other soldiers.[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]"Bear, what are you doing out side of the Rover? Get inside where it's safe!"[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]"No can do Magus. I'm part of the escort." "Your gonna get your self killed!"[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]Bear ignored her as the jeep began to trail dust behind, it, the Rover following suite. Saph shook her head and began walking beside the Rover. Looking up she could clearly see Hunter, Crimson was harder since she lay on her stomach her camouflage on, a small shimmer here and there making it known as to where she was. Shu was taking up the read while Obsidian took the other side. [/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]Almost an hour had gone by with nothing going wrong, the small convoy having stopped to take a small break Saph sat on the edge of her cockpit when a strong breeze whipped her hair back away from her face. She froze as she got a strange scent caught in her nose. Metallic and sour, standing she looked around confused as another breeze brought it past her stronger. She looked over her shoulder towards the wall of the small gully they were going through. She could see a large dust cloud rising behind them, the scent hit her again and she felt her body freeze over. She could smell the metal of the Barons, and they were close. [/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]"This Rover has to move, Now!"[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]Hunter looked down at her angrily. [/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]"Easy for you to say, your on the ground."[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]"The Barons are coming, and fast. There's a lot of them." Shu looked over at her confused.[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]"Are you sure? How do you know?" "I...I can smell the oil and metal of their suites."[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]Hunter tilted his head to the side and blinked rapidly at her.[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]"You can...smell them?"[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]"I know it sounds weird, but it's the truth...just like...I know you had peanut butter cereal for breakfast..."[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]Hunter blinked again.[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]"Okay, she's good."[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]She shook her head and put her hands on her hips. "Look, I just know that their behind us, and we're at a really bad disadvantage. We have to get out in the open."[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]They all agreed and clamored back in to their KNIGHTs, and as the Rover picked up it's pace yet again she head a loud blast go off, turning she bit her bottom lip seeing the horns of what was no doubt a King Beast. But what she couldn't understand was where the dust cloud was coming from. Turning back around she ran next to the Rover trying not the think about the unsettling feeling she was having in the pit of her stomach. Rounding the corner she felt her breath catch, there at the end of the gully was another King Beast, but at it's feet were small drone like suites, small shields and swords attached to them like arms, their tiny eyes glowing red. Alone they didn't seem to be to much of a threat, but in the numbers Saph saw in front of them, she was worried. But what worried her the most was the small battalion in front of them had yet to move, and Saph was not going to make the first move this time as they could all feel the ground tremble under their feet, turning Saph saw why, coming behind them was indeed another Beast King, a swarm of the small suites, a few Beasts mingled with them as well. She felt a shiver run through her body as Bear in his jeep drove forwards. His voice amplified by a loud speaker.[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]"Let us pass or face the consequences."[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]Saph barely had time to blink as the small drones rushed forward, like ants, covering the jeep and crushing it into the dusty earth. It had happened so fast they hadn't the time to react, the last thing any of them heard was Bear's pained scream before he was crushed. [/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]"Averin, open communications with the others."[/color][/font] [color=#ff0000][font='comic sans ms', cursive]'Done.'[/font][/color] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]"Guys, these things are fast...and deadly. We need to be careful, there's way to many of them to take lightly."[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]They all said strained agreements.[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]"Also, from here on, communications remain open, no argument. We're in close quarters and need to watch each other's backs. Therefore we have to be able to talk to one another. Any arguments?" She received none, and at this point she didn't care if the others could hear her talk to Averin, they already thought she was nuts after her little sense of smell episode. But she felt the armor on her hands break away smoothly.[/color][/font] [color=#ff0000][font='comic sans ms', cursive]'It is to close for you to use firearms with your horrible shooting.'[/font][/color] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]She nodded in agreement and felt heat fill her palms. One of her own upgrades, thin tendrils of heat wire began to seep from her hands til a small ignition lit them creating long, thin whips made of fire. Burning a bright blue she was glad that her hand panels were designed to take this much heat. She could see the others getting ready for the fight as well, only this time, it was their turn to wait, being at a disadvantage. [/color][/font] [font="comic sans ms, cursive"][color="#000080"]They didn't have long to wait, Both Beast Kings raised their spiked clubs and let out might roars, sending the small drones skittering across the sands swiftly. She heard Hunter let loose a large round towards the front and looked back slightly only to feel fear creep in as the small suites seemed to stack on top of one another to protect the Beast King from damage.[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]"Stay close to the Rover and each other, No one, and I mean NO ONE is to go any where on their own. Understood?"[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]Getting the affirmatives, she cracked her whips dangerously as the small drones got closer.[/color][/font] Alright, these things are SMALL, only coming up to our KNIGHTs knees. BUT they are fast, agile, and tough. Have fun! ^^

[font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]I've had a couple in my day actually, and creepy as it sounds both involve my oldest son. The first one was not long after I had just brought him home from the hospital. I was laying in bed and had woken up to him fussing. As I sat up in bed I noticed what seemed to be a figure standing over his crib. It was nonthreatening in appearance and manner. I remember that as I was sitting up in bed thinking I was just imagining things and that I needed to go up stairs and get him a bottle, I reached over and flipped on my lamp to see a freshly made bottle, warm, waiting for me on my bed side table. My grandfather had passed away some years before this incident and the room my son and I were sleeping in had at one time been his. I, to this day believe it was him looking out for his great grandson. [/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]My second experience was when my father, my son and I were dropping my sister in law off back in Georgia with her family. I can't recall the name of the town we met in but I will never forget the creepy fact that this town was located in the middle of a pentagram that was made by all the graveyards of the town connecting. Again, this dealt with my son, as we entered the town I noticed that my son started acting strangely. He was around one at the time, he gave me his indications that his stomach hurt and that he wasn't feeling well. Reaching into his diaper bag I pulled out my emergency go to pack and retrieved his thermometer. Taking his temp as I took in him appearance, pale skinned, and sweating slightly with flushed cheeks I was shocked and terrified at finding out he had gained a temp of 103.4 in just 30 minutes. Bringing this to my father attention we quickly said our goodbyes, bought him a small bottle of Gatorade and made our way out of the township. As soon as we passed out of the town line and onto the highway headed home his fever dropped, gone in almost 5 minutes and all his symptoms were gone. By the time we got back home he was the same hyper kid he had been that morning before we had left. [/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]The last one, still dealing with my oldest, was a few years later. We were living with his father and as my ex husband and I lay in bed one night we could hear our son talking very clearly with someone named Sam. Thinking that he had just named one of his toys this and was keeping him self busy I lay awake long after my ex had fallen asleep until I no longer heard my son talking and then proceeded to get some rest my self. The next morning as I got up and retrieved my son from his room I noticed that none of his toys had been moved, and his blinds were now down over his window. Knowing he could never reach the line since I had it wrapped around the blind to keep it in the up position after hearing stories of kids his age strangling them selves with the pull lines of these things I made sure to keep it well out of his reach. But as I approached his blinds I noticed that the strings was still wrapped around his blinds very tightly. Shaking it off I unwrapped the string pulled his blind back into place and secured it as I had previously done. Going about my day as usual, cleaning house and making sure everything was taken care as a military wife and an at home mother it came time to go do the shopping. Getting my son and I dressed I headed for the door seeing the dog pacing anxiously by the door as well. Telling her she couldn't come this time I left. About an hour later I pulled into the drive way and noticed that the blinds down stairs seemed to have been torn to shreds and the blinds in my sons room(he had the room facing the front) were down again. Letting out a curse my only thought was that the dog had pulled a hissy fit and went on a rampage. Walking into the house the first thing I noticed was in fact the dog. She acted neither scared or guilty about the blinds. Shaking it off once again I cleaned up the mess, fixed the blinds through out the house and got the groceries in and started on dinner. Bringing it up to my ex that night he told me not to worry about it, that it was nothing. But mothers intuition wouldn't let it go so I waited that night to see if my son would start talking to 'Sam' again, and sure enough, close to 3 that morning I heard my son stir in his room and begin to talk to Sam. Waking up my ex I told him something wasn't right and we both went in to his room to see what was going on. I clearly remember asking my son who he was talking to, after noticing that his blinds were DOWN yet again, and he pointed to the corner of his room and told me he was talking to the nice man in the corner named Sam. The next week we moved out of the house and into a larger one due to the fact I was pregnant and we needed more room. 2 weeks later the condemned the house we had just moved out of due to faulty wires and bursting water pipes in the house.[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]I've had several smaller incidents, but these 3 will always give me the creeps. [/color][/font]

[font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]Saph woke up from what seemed to be a sharp jab to her sub conscious. Blinking rapidly she stirred, rubbing her itchy eyes as she sat up. "Uh...Oooo whua?"[/color] [color=#ff0000]'You were sleeping in a puddle of your own fluids.'[/color] [color=#000080]"Huh?" Saph looked down at the table and could indeed see a large puddle of drool, she shook her head and looked at her watch confused. "How long have I been out?"[/color] [color=#ff0000]'A few hours, maximum.'[/color] [color=#000080]She nodded and stood back up downing the cold black coffee next to her as she looked over the charts she had just picked up as well. "Alright, Hunter, Shu, Crimson, and Obsidian are done. It's your turn Averin."[/color] [color=#ff0000]'I do not want anything to be done to me.'[/color] [color=#000080]"We need better systems in case those things come back."[/color] [color=#ff0000]'What did you have in mind?'[/color] [color=#000080]She gave a sheepish look before scratching the back of her neck. "You know...I'm not so sure my self..." Running a hand through her hair she sat down cross legged on the cold hanger floor looking up at Averin. "You have any ideas?"[/color] [color=#ff0000]'Perhaps a few.'[/color] [color=#000080]Saph listened closely nodded here and there to show she was indeed paying attention.[/color] [color=#ff0000]'-all of which I've thought of because it is apparent that even with your training in light arms, you are not that good of a shot.'[/color] [color=#000080]Saph felt her cheeks heat. "I'm better at close combat to be honest...but that's Shu and Obsidian's forte, not mine."[/color] [color=#ff0000]'Woman, I am extremely diverse. How can you not know what to do with me.'[/color] [color=#000080]"It's not that easy Averin. I have to make it work with the others..."[/color] [color=#ff0000]'Your a doctor. What other 'weapons' does a doctor use? What weapons can you use? Your said close combat is something your good at. What is it your good at?'[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]"Capoeria."[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]'Kick boxing?'[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]She nodded.[/color][/font] [color=#ff0000][font='comic sans ms', cursive]'There is more to you then I fist thought.'[/font][/color] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]She looked up at him confused as he began to talk to her about a few things. In the end they came up with a strategy that worked for both of them.[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]Saph began her work immediately watching through the window as the outside world slowly turned grey as dawn came close and closer. By the time she was done with Averin, it was time to move. 24 hours had passed just like that. She wiped her hand across her cheek and smiled as Bear walked in, obviously expecting to be the first one there.[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]"Upgrades and repairs done."[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]Bear frowned as he looked over the KNIGHTs, they all looked different, the armor was brighter, newer, and seemed thinner.[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]"Are you out of your mind Magus? You could get them all killed!"[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]"No, are you out of your mind? You could have gotten us killed in that rusty, heavy armor we were all wearing. At least in this we'll stand a better chance. Not only that everyone has a few new tricks up their sleeves. You don't like it? I don't care. You need us to live through this right? I just insured we will."[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]"I told you to rest."[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]"I slept for a few hours." "You need more then a few Magus!"[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]"Who are you kidding? I'm a doctor. I've gone for longer on less."[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]With that being said she climbed up towards Averin's cockpit until she heard the others begin to enter as well. Scaling back down she put her hands on her hips and waited. Hunter was the first to say anything.[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]"Nice job, you installed everything perfectly."[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]"You gave good schematics. Alright guys, here's the deal. The armor is new, it's thinner but tougher in all the right places we all need. It'll make us all lighter and more agile on our feet in case we end up getting to close to anything we don't like. Now, everyone got a few upgrades, I'll let you all discover those on your own as you will. Hunter came up with most of them I just installed them. We're good as new and ready to go. So, what are our orders?" Bear shook his head but stood at attention, causing them to do so as well.[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]"In one hour you will be escorting the Rover Base, a combat unit specially built to transfer the remaining human race from base to base, keeping them safe inside. We'll be heading inland, the terrain will get rocky and more unstable as we go. Perfect ambush conditions. Our battle formation is as follows. Crimson and Hunter will be stationed on top of the Rover, providing cover fire and long rage scouting. Obsidian, Shu, and Sapphire, you three will be on ground, Your KNIGHTs are the quickest and more easily movable. You move out in exactly one hour."[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]Saph nodded and went back to her duty, she looked over the pilots briefly taking notice that every injury they had sustained, was gone. Nodding gratefully she moved back to Averin and began to run diagnostics over his system. Once she was ready she simply sat on the edge of her cockpit and watched the others. Hoping that this escort went easily enough, though she was sure that wasn't going to be the case.[/color][/font]

[font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]Okay, everything sounds pretty fair so far, only thing we're gonna hold off on at the moment is the jet system Dragoon. Only reason for that is we'll all be getting one in the near future at the new base. Different terrain we'll need it to move around easier. Now, I've taken all your ideas and come up with a few things I think are gonna work out great.[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]Dragoon, for Crimson, You'll be getting a sawed off shot gun for close combat when ever needed, as well as the rounds you were asking about. In addition, I've though of a new rifle you'll be getting before the start of the next battle. It's gonna have a higher firing rate and a longer clip. Also it's gonna have some boom for you buck. Nothing that can take down a Beast in one shot, but maybe two or three.[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]Humaru, for Shu, you'll be getting 1 additional spear, a Halberd style like you were asking for, however, this is not the one that is going to super heat. You'll also be getting a double saber. This weapon will heat automatically with however much you use it. The more you use it the hotter it gets. And it doesn't cool down until you store it away. This double saber also has a nifty little feature where it breaks apart into twin daggers for better use if need be. The separated blades are the same as when put together. The more in use, the hotter they are. [/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080] [/color][/font][font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]Fighter, Obsidian is going to be getting his gauntlets. There will be a system rigged into his armor that will supply the liquid nitrogen to the knuckles of the gauntlets, after each hit with these the system will replace the nitrogen used and ready him for another hit. Now when you mentioned this it made me start thinking of another set of weapons for you. Impact boots. These boots are going to be designed to make a huge impact, no matter the terrain, and stagger your foes for a short amount of time, thus giving Obsidian ample time to get in a few good solid hits. A down side to these boots, they are going to be fairly heavy so it'll me Obsidian somewhat slower.[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]Kayin,[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]Hunter will be getting 2 new specialty rounds to compliment the lay out switch. Dark Matter rounds, which are rare and few and far between. These rounds will create a gravitational pull of sorts, either pulling and crushing multiple enemies, or pulling an enemy in on itself and crushing it and the pilot. The other set of rounds are going to be detonation rounds. Good sized rounds that latch onto enemy armor and can be set off remotely when ever Hunter feels the time is right. Since these rounds are going to be easier to make and fairly easy to supply they'll be specialize for the assault rifle. Since the Dark Matter rounds are very hard to make, these rounds will be bigger and made more towards his launcher then normal means of deployment. These rounds will have a larger, uniquely made launcher, since the Dark Matter is unstable and risky for the user, if the capsule containing the Dark Matter should break before impact on an enemy, it could spell game over for who ever is within radius.[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]Which brings me to the group upgrade. All of us are going to be getting armor upgrades, It'll be lighter than what we have on, but just as if not more so durable. If you've ever seen 'A Knights' Tale' think of the new armor the woman makes for him. This new armor will make us tougher as well as faster in order to fight the Beasts.[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]As I'm sure you all can tell each fight I'll be introducing new enemy suites. This poses a challenge for us, and opportunity to hear of how you'd like your KNIGHTs upgraded to fit you and your fighting style. The Beasts were just the beginning. Once Kayin posts I'll move us along to the next section.[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]Now for the next fight we'll be protecting the Rover base, a moving combat base to transport people from one safe haven to the next. Our formation for this escort will be as follows. Hunter and Crimson will be station topside, gunning as it were, Shu, Sapphire, and Obsidian will be on ground since the three of them are capable at close combat and Saph is the medical pilot.[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]In this fight I'll be introducing Droves. [/color][/font][font="comic sans ms, cursive"][color="#000080"]These small mechs are only half our size, equipped with shields that are thick enough to stop an explosive round, also wielding small spears and swords for close combat these small mechs are stack-able to protect the larger suites they fight with. Having weak spots from the bottom and top of the shields they can either drop down or stack on top of one another to prevent any damage. The main way of taking these little beasties down is to remove the shield. In order to do so you must remove the offending arm as well. [/color][/font][font="comic sans ms, cursive"][color="#000080"]The main problem with the Droves is that they swarm. IF you find your self in the middle and surrounded by the pint sized mechs, your in a world of trouble.[/color][/font] [font="comic sans ms, cursive"][color="#000080"]So we'll be moving right along in a bit. So get ready, the fights are gonna get tougher from here. And no worries each new enemy handed to us we get equipped to combat them. [/color][/font][font='comic sans ms', cursive][color=#000080]After each fight I'll be asking how you want your mechs up graded for the next fight so make sure you all are thinking of ways to better your selves. I have a few ideas of my own for you guys I'll be throwing out to you when the time comes. My main thing is I want you all to enjoy the RP and make it your own as well as mine. ^^[/color][/font]

[font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]Alright everyone. Here's the plan, we each get an upgrade to our KNIGHTs to help with the newer Baron suites. So let's hear your ideas and we'll sort through them and see what we all like better. Once we figure out what we all want, we'll have our Techie, Hunter, install everything. ^^ [/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]Please be creative, lets just not get carried away and get over powering. Remember, we're still new at this so we're gonna get our butts handed to us the first few fights. Then, we'll own. lol[/color][/font]

[font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]Saph shoved the hands away from her as the doctors tried to examine her.[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]"I said back off!" "Magus!" Saph looked up as Bear walked in, his face set in a scowl.[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]"You took damage, you need to be looked over." "I can tell you the damage I took, or have you forgotten I'm a medic? I'm fine, minor nerve damage, and a strained tendon. I'll be fine after a hot shower and meal."[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]Bear shook his head as Saph stood and walked over to Crimson.[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]"Stand." Crimson stared at her awkwardly for a moment before doing as Saph told her. Saph went to work then, running her hands over the other woman's legs and ankles before moving to her lower back applying pressure and watching Crimson's reactions.[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]"You've stunned your back, and strained the muscles in your legs. Hopefully you didn't do to much damage, but by the looks of things...your healing already...?"[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]Saph shook her head and looked over the bruises that were slowly leaving Crimson's skin as Saph lightly poked them. Blinking she stood back at her full height and looked at the other woman.[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]"Same, get a hot shower and a meal in your stomach, as well as a good sleep and you should be fine. Amazingly."[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]She moved on to the men now, Hunter only have a few scratched on him from wild shots, they were only red and seemed irritated at most. Obsidian and Shu were much the same, a few bruises and scratches, but nothing major. Saph sighed in relief and slumped against Averin. She frowned up as Bear seemed to have a look about him that said he needed to say something.[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]"If you wanna say something, just say it. I don't think any of us are really in any kind of mood for crap right now." The large man took a deep breath before pinching the bridge of his nose.[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]"You have a 24 hour grace period, After that you have an escort mission." Saph stood, furious.[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]"Your kidding! That's barely time for anything! Some of us were injured out there! Isn't there anyone else?" "No, your the last. Imera passed away less then an hour ago." The information hit them all hard as they shared confused looks and murmurs.[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]"I don't understand, she was in here less than 12 hours ago wishing us good luck, she looked as healthy as the rest of us...what happened?" "The same thing that will happen to you five most likely."[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]"Which is?" "Conference rooms are better for these kinds of talks Magus."[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]Saph sat down on Averin's foot, silently telling the man she wasn't budging til she got some answers. "I think the crews have heard this all before. But I don't think WE have. So I suggest you start talking, or I'll this KNIGHT and shove it so far up your-" "Alright. It's the Zero. The chemical will break down your body over time, it eventually ages your internal organs to the point of death." "Wait wait wait...are you telling us that we're aging?" "About 4 times the normal rate..." "And is there a cure?" "The scriptures we found with the KNIGHT technology talk about a certain group of people, known as the Pages, these people would be able to resonate with their KNIGHTs."[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]"Meaning?" "We have no idea. All we know is that this group of people are the true pilots, gaining long life, advanced abilities, better healing. These people are linked with their KNIGHTs in a way no one else ever could be. Once linked they remain that way. As long as the KNIGHT exists the pilots will remain until they are no longer needed." "Wait you mean like immortal?" "No, far from it. Just more durable. Faster healing times, harder bones so less likely of breaks, higher blood counts to reduce sickness...these people in the scripts are basically the KNIGHTs in human form. Able to take hits, and deal them as well." Saph frowned for a moment, remembering the bruises vanished from Crimson's skin right before her eyes.[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]"So bruises would heal...?" "In minutes." Saph blinked rapidly, looking over at the others, they seemed, or acted oblivious to the information she was processing at the moment. Hunter's scratching being only mild rashes... What should have been fractured legs and spine from her fall, Crimson was on her feet, and walking around like nothing happened. Her own injuries even felt better... Her attention was snapped back as Bear seemed to get to the grave part of his tale.[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]"-The KNIGHTs reject anyone other then their true pilots, denying the resonation, and causing the Zero to age their bodies til death." Obsidian frowned.[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]"And how do we know if we're the right people?" "WE don't, YOU do." Obsidian shook his head.[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]"How?" "We're not sure. The basic signs are your healing, and ability to recover...but the signs can take a while to actually show...and even then...it might be a shot in the dark. We thought Imera was a true pilot...she had amazing abilities to recover from injuries...but we were mistaken." "How long?" They looked in Saph's direction as she asked the question that was no doubt plaguing most of them.[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]"We don't know...could take weeks, months...." Saph frowned.[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]"Years? That we don't have?" Bear nodded.[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]"Perfect..."[/color][/font] [color=#ff0000][font='comic sans ms', cursive]'Woman, I think you already know the answers to your questions.'[/font][/color] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]Saph blinked and looked up at Averin curiously before she looked back at Bear.[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]"You said we would resonate with our KNIGHTs. What did that mean?" "It's said that the pilots would be able to communicate with the KNIGHTs, able to give or hear their voices and names. But so far, in the 50 years we've had them, no one has come forward to tell us anything." "Does something happen if they do come forward?" "No, nothing extraordinary." "Which means there is something?" "We would need to do blood tests to see if there was an unknown genome in the pilots that the rest of us didn't have."[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]Saph sighed. "How many tests are we talkin' here?" Bear shook his head. "Enough talk for the day, the pilots ward is ready, you things have been moved from your personal rooms to your ward rooms. Get your rest. You'll need it." Saph held up her hand quickly.[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]"This escort mission, what is it?" "I can't-"[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]"You want me here? You better tell me something. I won't go into anything blind without properly preparing for it." "We have to move the residents of the base. A rover will be here in 24 hours, you five will be escorting it to ensure the safety of the people of the base. We know the Barons have new suites, and we need to move to a more fortified base."[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]Saph nodded.[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]"Alright guys, you heard the man, get some rest." Obsidian looked at her with arms crossed. "Who died and made you boss?" "The one who is gonna do your repairs as well as your KNIGHTs." Bear shook his head. "We have crews for that." "Yeah? I don't care. I'm working on them." She left no room for argument, instead looked over at Hunter.[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]"Get something to eat and whatever else you need. I want to talk to you about a few things. We need back up plans for these Barons. They're obviously getting tricky."[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]Hunter nodded and followed the others as they left the hanger, Saph looked over at one of her crew mates and smiled.[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]"You think it would to much to ask for a cup of coffee, a sandwich and a bag of chips?" The young man smiled at her with a nod.[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]"Any preference?"[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]Saph shook her head with a smile as she headed for the Black KNIGHT first, having taken the most damage. She went straight for the legs and put her hand on the ankle as she looked up.[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]"I'll fix you right up, no worries." The body suite gone now she walked over to the wall and pulled a pair of black overalls off the wall, slipping quickly from her uniform she left her white under shirt on and pulled the overalls on swiftly, zipping and buttoning up to her waist and then tying the sleeves around her waist. Pulling a baseball cap off the wall she tucked her hair under it as she slipped it on backwards and retrieved her tools. Working quickly she made minor adjustments here and there, pulling some wires loose and reconnecting them here and there. Wiping sweat from her brow she looked at her watch once she was done. 3 hours gone. Heaving a sigh she finished her 4th cup of coffee and asked for another as she moved onto her own KNIGHT.[/color][/font] [color=#ff0000][font='comic sans ms', cursive]'Woman, your running your self into the ground. Allow the crew to help.'[/font][/color] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]She shook her head, looking up at Averin as she climbed the ladders up to his shoulder. It took her a few more hours to rewire his circuits and fix his arm. 5 more hours gone, it was then she looked down as Hunter walked in. Seemingly showered and refreshed. She slid down the ladder landing in front of him making him blink. She was covered in mechanic grease and oil, her eyes blood shot, dark circles under them.[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]"You look tired." "I'm almost done, have to resupply the ammo reserves. But I wanted to talk to you about idea for our KNIGHTs so what happened earlier doesn't happen again."[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]"What do you mean?" "We were caught off guard, we need to be more prepared." "For what? It's not like we'll be at this long." Saph leaned on Averin as she raised an eye brow at the man in front of her.[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]"Who are you trying to fool?" "What?" "You can hear him, can't you. Just like I can hear Averin." "Av- you know your KNIGHTs name?" "Just like I think we all do. Hunter, your scratches, are gone. They were just patches of red earlier, but now they are completely gone. My shoulder and arm are fine...Crimson...she's walking around like that fall was nothing...she should be laid up in bed for weeks to heal her back." "You don't mean...?" "Have you noticed anything else? Brighter lights? Lighter objects?" "No, nothing like that so far." Saph nodded before she accepted yet another cup of black coffee from the young man.[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]"Alright, we need to get to work. I've been thinking..."[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]Her voice trailed off in the hanger as the two stood over a table talking, and coming up with ideas for the KNIGHTs so that the next time, they would have the upper hand. [/color][/font] [size=5][color=#40E0D0][font='comic sans ms', cursive]Alright everyone, check the backstage. We're getting upgrades![/font][/color][/size]

[font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]Alright, if we don't have a new post by the end of the night I'm moving us along. No pressure, just don't feel like having this die on me just yet. [/color][/font]

[font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]Saph continued to fire at the enemies, happy to see that they were indeed making a dent in the ranks of the Barons, but she couldn't shake the feeling that something was just out of their sights that was much more dangerous. After another hour of fighting Saph had depleted her LMG ammo and was now working with a small rifle, firing small bursts of bullets, laying down cover fire for Shu and Obsidian. Saph blinked as the hair on the back of her neck suddenly stood on end as the voice that had spoken to them from the Barons at the beginning of the battle sounded above the fighting. [/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]"Release the Beasts."[/color][/font] [font="comic sans ms, cursive"][color="#000080"]Saph felt her breath catch in her throat as five large, heavy armored Minotaur suites seemed to rise from the sand. [/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]"Averin, check the armor on those things!"[/color][/font] [color=#ff0000][font='comic sans ms', cursive]'Consider it done.'[/font][/color] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]Saph watched as diagnostics came up on her screen, the armor was thick, unbelievably so; and Saph was sure that not even Hunter could pierce it. But as she heard a battle cry come from his direction she could tell he was going to try his damndest. [/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]"Averin, can you open contact between me and the others?"[/color][/font] [color=#ff0000][font='comic sans ms', cursive]'Com link is secured.'[/font][/color] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]"Guys, that armor is way to thick! We have to take them down one at a time, together!"[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]It was then she realized that they were planning on just taking one each, and it was then that she heard the dangerous sound of her magazines giving the ominous sounds of being empty.[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]"Averin, please tell me that we have other weapons...."[/color][/font] [color=#ff0000][font='comic sans ms', cursive]'There are two heat scalpels on your wrists, and there is also shocks in your palms.'[/font][/color] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]"Shocks?"[/color][/font] [color=#ff0000][font='comic sans ms', cursive]'In case you must revive one of my comrades.'[/font][/color] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]Saph blinked rapidly.[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]"You mean to tell me that I have giant defibs in my palms?"[/color] [color=#ff0000]'That's precisely what I am saying. The armor on your palms will break away allowing you to use it properly.'[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]"How many volts are we talking her Av?"[/color][/font] [color=#ff0000][font='comic sans ms', cursive]'The defibrillators cover the entirety of you hand, and it is enough electricity to resuscitate multiple KNIGHTs at one time.'[/font][/color] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]Saph felt her mouth go dry. That could be very useful. [/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]"Can you calculate how think that armor is?"[/color][/font] [color=#ff0000][font='comic sans ms', cursive]'Approximately twelve to eighteen inches thick.'[/font][/color] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]Saph grit her teeth, there was no way that each of them could take one of these things out on their own, her attention was drawn back to the battle field as she heard Obsidian curse over the coms. [/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]"Averin, we have to get in there!"[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]She felt boosters on the backs of her legs come to life, and before she knew it she was dashing across the sands, bringing her arm up as she slid in front of the lighter armored White KNIGHT she could hear the crackling of wires under her own armor from the blow of the Beast.[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]"What are you doing Sapphire!"[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]"We can not take these things on our selves, we have to work together! Hunter, can you lay down cover fire?"[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]"Roger that!"[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]The barrage that followed almost made Saph cringe at the thought of the use of bullets it must have taken. She flung her arm to the side and felt the scalpel come loose easily, her injured arm sore as she could feel every thing that Averin was taking, was still in working condition.[/color][/font] [color=#ff0000][font='comic sans ms', cursive]'Right arm at 30%'[/font][/color] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]She nodded as she wrapped her fingers around the scalpel tighter surprised as the blade grew in length and intensity.[/color][/font] [color=#ff0000][font='comic sans ms', cursive]'You can control the blade since some of us are thicker than others.'[/font][/color] [font="comic sans ms, cursive"][color="#000080"]Nodded again she whipped around, her left arm swinging out in an arch swiftly, the heat scalpel connecting with the horn of one of the Minotaur suites. She could see the cauterized metal almost instantly as the horn fell of and into the sand heavily. She pushed Obsidian out of the way and into the sand as a large club swung over their heads, the rush of wind stirring up sand and dust.[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]"Obsidian, we have to regroup." "But I can-" "No, we have to regroup now!"[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]Saph looked up as a round bounced off the side of the things head, leaving nothing but a small dent and a scrape from where the bullet had hit. Saph figured it had to have been Crimson. Saph looked up as another of the Beasts slowly came upon her and Obsidian; Saph keeping between the two of them since her armor was thicker. She let out a string of curses as Shu joined them, his sword at the ready, and Saph could tell that the heat it was letting off was not going to be enough. Reaching forward she grabbed Shu by his shoulder and pulled him back, her right hand coming up as the Beast reached forward to grab a hold of the Blue KNIGHT. The armor on her hand gave way all at once, hitting the sands in pieces and she could see and hear the sparks emitting from her hand. Catching the Beasts hooved hand in her own she squeezed and watched as it's body was wracked with wave upon wave of electricity. It fell to one knee, it's head bent forward and Saph wondered idly if their suites were much the same as the one she was piloting, and if that suite had just taken that much voltage, the pilot was no doubt in immense pain, if not momentarily paralyzed. She reached out and grabbed the two men and pulled them back away from the enemy ranks. Once she had them back a far enough distance she thought safe she released them.[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]"Alright. That armor theit sporting is almost a foot to a foot and a half thick. We need to make a weak spot in that armor and have either Crimson or Hunter blast it and take these things down. Shu's voice echoed around her.[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]"What about you? Aren't you supposed to be light ammunition's?" "I ran out of ammo. But I can still fight, all of us here are trained not only in our main area, but hand to hand as well. And I think it was for situations like this."[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]Saph looked out at the Beast with the mission horn, it was still struggling to make it's way to it's feet after her rough shock to it's system.[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]"I can disable it for a little while, you two can make an opening in the armor. Hunter, Crimson, after that it's up to you two to blast it to hell and back."[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]She got an affirmative from Crimson, but felt her expression dead pan as Hunter chuckled. [/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]"Can't I just blow it to hell and be done with it?" "If you could, don't you think you would have already?" "Heh, figured I'd at least ask."[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]She shook her head at the man a little ways away from still and felt the armor on her left hand disengage leaving the defibrillator open as the Beasts stood in front of them. She shook her right arm slightly, it was still numb and she was sure she would have a bruise there by the end of this. As if an unspoken word was given, Shu, Obsidian, and her self moved at once; Saph falling slightly behind due to her KNIGHTs weight difference. She ducked down under a might swing from one of the monsters, her back hitting the sand as she slid between it's legs, regaining her footing she planted her hands to it's back and let loose another wave of voltage into it's circuits. She could see the lighting in the eyes flicker as it fought to keep it's system from shutting down due to the over load. Spinning around she planted her left hand in the sand and used her body weight to continue her attack, her foot connecting with the Beasts' back, hitting the monstrous thing between it's shoulders and knocking it forward onto it's hands.[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]"Now you two!"[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]Obsidian and Shu needed no further instructions as they rushed forward, Shu's sword piercing the armor slightly and pulling back for Obsidian to hit it with a well powered strike, the combined attack was enough to open a whole in the armor. [/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]"Crimson, take the shot."[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]They all held their breath as the shot rang out, sparks flew and a loud, metallic groan filled the area as the Beast in front of them dropped, the hole created now doubled in size and blackened around the edges. They could all hear the system of the thing fighting to stay connected, and they all felt a small glimmer of pride as it let out one last groan before failing. [/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]"All right! One down, four more the go!"[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]She felt the hair on her arms prickle suddenly, and heard Obsidian call out a warning to her, turning as quickly as she could she cursed as a club from one of the other Beasts fell down on her shoulder. Feeling the pain radiate through her own shoulder she yelped out a curse as she fell to one knee; the other two rushing forwards to cover her. She could feel the arm of her KNIGHT grow heavy.[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]"Dammit all. I have to fall back!"[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]Rising to her feet she ran back towards Hunter and kneeled down close to where he was, her cockpit opening as soon as her KNIGHT was settled in the sand.[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]"What are you doing? Are you insane?" "I can't fight with this amount of damage to my shoulder. I have to at least get 15% of it back into usage."[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]Hunter just seemed to stare at her as she scaled her KNIGHT until she was at it's shoulder and began to pull small tools from seemingly no where.[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]"But-" "Just cover me Hunter. They can only do so much with those things able to move!"[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]He nodded silently to her and returned his focus onto the battle field. [/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]It felt like forever as Saph sat out in the open, the small welding tool in her hand producing sparks here and there are she reattached wires and rerouted some of the power from other areas of the KNIGHT into the shoulder.[/color][/font] [color=#ff0000][font='comic sans ms', cursive]'Woman, you must return quickly.'[/font][/color] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]"Just another minute..."[/color][/font] [color=#ff0000][font='comic sans ms', cursive]'Minute is up.'[/font][/color] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]Saph nodded and slid down her KNIGHTs armor and re entered the cockpit nimbly, once the cockpit was closed she felt the tingling sensation of the sensors once more as her screens came to life, only the arm she was just risking her life to repair only hung limp at her side.[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]"What's going on?"[/color][/font] [color=#ff0000][font='comic sans ms', cursive]'Your injured. I only work as well as your able to.'[/font][/color] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]"But I'm not-"[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]Her sentence died in her throat as she looked at her shoulder, the red suit darker as her own blood seeped through the material. [/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]"I didn't even feel it..."[/color][/font] [color=#ff0000][font='comic sans ms', cursive]'You won't until you detach your self from my sensors.'[/font][/color] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]"Wonderful. So I only have one working arm?"[/color] [color=#ff0000]'Correct.'[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]Gritting her teeth she shook her head and pushed her self to her feet as one more of the Beasts fell into the sand, dealt a devastating explosive shot from Hunter. "Let's just make it work."[/color][/font] [color=#ff0000][font='comic sans ms', cursive]'As you wish.'[/font][/color] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]"We don't have a choice right now Averin. Make it work."[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]Without answering her she could hear the gears be put into motion as the Red KNIGHT carefully made it's way back into the fray, her right arm now dull, the color seeming to have been drained from it as it swung lifeless at her side. The routine they had implemented seemed to be working as they slowly but surly brought down the Beasts one by one. It was when only the last one was left standing that Saph realized something off about it. The horns were longer, and curved out ward towards them wickedly, it was larger then the others as well, and some how swifter moving. Dodging her attack easily and slamming it's heavy hand into her shoulder blades. Feeling pain erupt from her back she grit her teeth and looked over her shoulder watching as it simply grabbed Shu's sword, squeezing it tightly and making the energy of the blade flicker before it fizzed away leaving no more than a scorch mark in the Beasts' palm. It reacted swiftly and grabbed hold of Obsidian's foot, swinging him harshly into Shu, both men grunting in pain from the abuse. Reacting as quickly as she could she came to her feet and brought her leg up and forward doing her best to block the spiked club as it descended towards Shu, screaming out in pain as the spikes pierced her foot. [/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]The voice of the Baron echoing around them again, amusement held in his voice.[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]"We knew there would be new pilots, and even though young and inexperienced as you are you've managed to prove that the KNIGHTs of the human race are capable of much more than we give them credit for. All but one Beast brought to their knees. But let us see how you manage to take down our King Beast."[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]Saph felt her hope fading until she heard a confident Hunter over the com link.[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]"I got something for that big *****!"[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]The shot that rang out was thicker than usual and she could see a bright red spark attach itself to the monster looming over them as Hunter chuckled.[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]"You three might wanna evac that particular area."[/color][/font]

[font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]Alright everyone, so since we're supposed to be the ones who can sustain an extended period of piloting the KNIGHTs, though we haven't realized it yet, we can in fact hear our KNIGHTs. Also, everyone's piloting system is pretty much the same, with VERY minor differences between KNIGHTs. Like I said, if you need a reference look up G Gundam and that's pretty much what we're working with. Now, as far as enhancements go, take your pick, but nothing spectacular. We're still just humans. [/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]If you guys have any questions, I'm sure My self, or Kay can probably answer them.[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]And if you guys have any suggestions on the RP, please feel free to put them in here as well. Since it's just the five of us, I feel like we should all have some say. But seeing as I've RPed with all of you I believe, I think you guys all know how I work. If you come up with something to better the story and make it more exciting or interesting, lemme know and I'm sure between us all we can think of a way to implement it. [/color][/font]

[font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]Saph looked around, they were all here now, did that mean that they would be launching soon? She nodded quietly as her crew ran her through the KNIGHT one last time before a slight disturbance made the five of them look up. A young woman, maybe a few years older than them strolled in causally. She was beautiful, there was no doubt about that, but her eyes held a darkness to them that none of them seemed to understand.[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]"My name is Imera, I am the last pilot left alive from the last year. I can to give you all my best wishes. Good luck young pilots you'll need it."[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]Saph jumped from her KNIGHT and landed nimbly on her feet, she strolled forward.[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]"Is there any advice you can give us?" "Fight hard, and don't ever give up. Not only that, watch each other's backs. Those things don't hesitate to take advantage of someone on their own." She smiled sadly and put her hand on Saph's shoulder. [/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]"They have no weak points, or weaknesses. So you all have to work together."[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]Saph looked around, they had all barely spoken through out their training, they hardly knew one another. How were they supposed to fight together?[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]Imera chuckled.[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]"I had my own doubt when I started, but trust me, you'll get used to it. You'll slowly become a family, maybe even find love, Who knows. Just have faith in each other and never back down."[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]Saph nodded as the woman left the hanger, she looked around at the others and shook her head. She didn't understand any of this and she was sure none of the others did either, but she knew that no matter what they were all ready for what ever they had to do. She made her way back to her KNIGHT as a siren suddenly began to blare through out the base, she looked back at Bear who nodded. "It's time. Suit up and get out there."[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]Saph took a deep breath and climbed her KNIGHT quickly, entering the cockpit she blinked as it was extremely roomy, she stood there, looking this way and that til the cockpit filled with light and a voice seemed to fill her head.[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#FF0000]'And who might you be woman?'[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]She looked around again, confusion evident on her features.[/color] [color=#FF0000]'Answer me girl or leave.'[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]"Sapphire Magus."[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#FF0000]'So you can hear me, interesting. I see, Are you this years model?'[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]"A-are you the KNIGHT?"[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#FF0000]'You may call me Averin. Is it time to go to war?'[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]She nodded slowly, a ring slowly descending down around her, a blood red body suit covering her skin, small sensors adorning it, she looked around, the sound and feel of the KNIGHT following her movements apparent now. Taking a step forward, the floor under her feet moved keeping her place as the KNIGHT moved once again, her surroundings flooding with light and coming to life as she was able to see the hanger around her, the door at the end opening to allow them out, the others were also moving slowly as they too became accustomed to the kNIGHTs. She blinked as she looked out into the swirling winds and sand that waited for them outside the base. Seeing shadows through the sand she frowned.[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#FF0000]'Barons.'[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]She moved forward more now, her determination flaring to life as she reached down and pulled the pistol from the holster on the KNIGHT's side. Holding it tightly she quickened her pace as she headed for the exit, the wind whipped around her violently as she emerged from the base, instantly found her self face to face with a small wall of Barons, their sky blue armor and red eyes glaring at her from a distance. She could hear the others coming to stand next to her, their steps echoing around her as she stared their enemy down.[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]"I don't know what I'm doing..."[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]'Have strength woman. You have others to help you. Now, your not much good in battle are you?'[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]"I am trained well enough if that's what your asking."[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]'Than take that pistol, aim it, and shoot those bastard's heads off.'[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]A cynical smile spread on her features, and just before she raised the gun a deep, masculine voice filled the air around them as one of the Barons stepped forward.[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]"You must be the KNIGHTs my kind has heard so much about. Drop your weapons, surrender, and no one will have to die." Saph stood firm, looking left and right at the others at her sides, none of them moved, she smiled, grateful.[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]"Are you intending to fight then? Your race's stupidity knows no bounds."[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#000080]Saph frowned. "That might be true, but at least we're never going to give up." With that she raised the pistol in her hand and shot, the sound echoing around them all, and even though it didn't hit her intended target it started the movement around her, Shu and Obsidian launched forwards, their KNIGHTs hunched forward slightly as they ran across the sands, Hunter planted his feet as Crimson seemed to vanish as the Black KNIGHTs cloaking kicked in. Saph holstered the pistol and reached across her shoulder pulling a light machine gun from her back blinking as Hunter's KNIGHT kicked back slightly by a large blast sent from an equally large launcher grasped in his hands. Sounds of battle rising and blocking out everything else. Spah tried her best to stay amoungst them all in case one of them needed her, this was only the start. [/color][/font] I'm putting up a backstage thread for this right after I post, any questions you need or want to ask me.

Again, this will be a mature RP. Enjoy! [color=#000080][font='comic sans ms', cursive]Screaming could be heard down the halls of the underground base that night, they howled and echoed through the halls, bouncing off the walls and filling the base with eerie noises and terrifying shadows. Most people stayed in their rooms this night but the few who knew, the few that were used to it ventured out, curious as to who was fairing better than the others. Under the gym, deep below the ground a door was chained shut, screams and shouts fermenting within it. As the night continued on the screaming decreased, growing slowly quiet til only heavy breathing could be heard from the other side. It was done...[/font][/color] [color=#000080][font='comic sans ms', cursive]Saph rolled on the floor holding her head, her teeth gritted tightly as tears flowed from her eyes, her throat was raw from screaming for so long, but the feeling of the Zero had been more than she expected. It was as if someone had injected liquid lava into her veins breathing heavily she tried to stand and felt her entire body give out. Shaking her head she simply lay on her stomach, the cool wooden floor feeling wonderful against her fevered skin. Her eyes scanned the room, she could only see four others moving, Hunter, Shu, Crimson, and Obsidian... Were they the only ones left? Had everyone else just given up and died like the stories said? She looked to the person lying next to her, her breath catching in her throat, their face was frozen in a silent scream, blood having dried from pouring from their nose, eyes and mouth...their skin having taken on a sick look, pale and light blue, their veins highlighted throughout their skin and standing our harshly...there was no doubt this person was dead...she suddenly gasped, her body feeling unbearably hot as it felt as if it were constricting tightly, her back hunched as her hands were clasped into fists. Closing her eyes she grit her teeth and growled out a curse. Was this normal? Was she supposed to feel like this? [/font][/color] [color=#000080][font='comic sans ms', cursive]Her body reacted instantly as a hand dropped onto her shoulder, twisting and latching onto the hand as she leapt to her feet and shoved the person onto their backs, her other hand instantly around their throat. Seeing the man's face she backed off, sliding from her chest to the floor to sit and look up into his grizzled face which was smiling sadly. [/font][/color] [color=#000080][font='comic sans ms', cursive]"B-Bear...what's going on?" His deep voice echoed throughout the now silent room, only a few shuffles could be heard. [/font][/color] [color=#000080][font='comic sans ms', cursive]"You five are the only ones who survived. Each of you will most likely feel different, the Zero reacts differently to your body given your blood type. Those of you with negative type blood will most likely experience quicker reaction times, tougher skin, or even enhanced strength, but please...do not think that your invincible because of this...all of you are still very much human...your just able to push your selves a little further than the rest of us...Those of you with positive blood may experience increased speed or even heightened senses. These reactions, can go either way, just be ready for whatever. Now...you five, your time starts now. Welcome to the war pilots."[/font][/color] [color=#000080][font='comic sans ms', cursive]Saph blinked and looked around, there was just the five of them standing, just the five of them remained...were they the new pilots? Her training kicked in as she looked over her self and the others from a distance. She could see the burn on their skin where the Zero had been injected, a scar, a memory forever of their pain here. She walked up to Hunter and peeled back his eye lid looking at his pupils, at least tried before he swatted her away with a frown.[/font][/color] [color=#000080][font='comic sans ms', cursive]"Magus, your medical examination will have to wait, we need to get you five cleaned up and suited up. The Barons don't wait..." They looked towards him, shock visible on all of their faces.[/font][/color] [color=#000080][font='comic sans ms', cursive]"Your throwing us into this?! We have no training on piloting those things!" Bear looked at Saph and nodded.[/font][/color] [color=#000080][font='comic sans ms', cursive]"I understand Magus, but its inevitable...the other pilots have reached their limits, and you all are what we have to work with now. So go and get cleaned up than meet in the hanger. You have an hour."[/font][/color] [color=#000080][font='comic sans ms', cursive]With that, Bear left the room, Saph ran a hand through her hair before she let out a breath and followed him, walking out of the room she walked through the halls without really seeing where she was going as she headed to her small room. Once there she opened the door and closed it, blinking as she turned around and saw a black and red uniform on her bed. It looked form fitting and professional, neatly pressed and new. Sighing she stripped from her sweat soaked clothes on her walk to her bathroom, pulling off her shirt, and unbuttoning her pants, she reached the bathroom and finished the process as she flipped on the water, turning it as hot as she could stand, uncaring that her pale, cream colored skin turned pink as she stepped under the stream of water. It felt good, and she could feel the stream filling the small room, inhaling deeply she stopped as her head swam, she could smell her shampoo from across the shower, still unopened. She shook it off as she finished her shower and emerged, her hair wrapped in a towel as she walked back into her room. Drying she slipped into the uniform and looked at the badge on her chest, the golden color allowing the small red KNIGHT to be seen clearly within. Sighing she pulled her hair up into a tight military style bun and put the Barrett on top of her head and slipped into a pair of polished heels she put on a small amount of make up to bring out her blue eyes and took a deep breath. This was it, she was far from ready as she opened her door and stepped out into the hall, instantly being saluted to by a few people walking past...this was going to take some getting used to. She turned and began to walk towards the hanger, turning the corner she saw Bear there who smiled at her.[/font][/color] [color=#000080][font='comic sans ms', cursive]"Sapphire Magus, Red pilot. Welcome. From this moment on there is no turning back...do you accept?"[/font][/color] [color=#000080][font='comic sans ms', cursive]"Do I have a choice?" He chuckled and lead her into the hanger, she looked up and gasped as the five hulking KNIGHTS loomed over her, their eyes seeming to follow her til she came face to face with her own. "Here is your partner. Get to know him, you'll be heading out within the hour. We just received word that there are Barons inbound. 50 miles out. That's gives us two hours." "What?! I'm not ready for this!" "Than get ready Magus."[/font][/color] [color=#000080][font='comic sans ms', cursive]With that he left her there and walked back out into the hall to welcome the others. [/font][/color] Alright, there you have it! We're jumping right in!
