[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by cloricus [/i] [B] Nothing, I just didn't want people replying back saying. "Australia isn?t perfect ether" [/B][/QUOTE] That's real nice. But I don't live in Australia... I live in New Zealand. And it IS perfect. :p

[i]Warlock armed his buster, and aimed at Napalm... He had a good snipe shot from his current location, and he didn't want to miss the oppurtunity... His buster, 'Hellspawn', began to charge, glowing a blood red colour... It was now that Napalm chose to notice Warlock. Warlock flinched, as Napalm aimed with both massive Flame cannons, and fired a huge bolt of fire... Warlock cancelled the attack, and transferred the charge into his Dash boosters, avoiding the attack just in time... He was knocked over by the force of the explosion, but wasn't damaged seriously... He looked back at his position, to see a massive chunk of road blown from the highway, and a raging inferno... But there was something else... A dark figure stood there, wearing a tatty cloak (similar to Forte.EXE's)... Warlock wasn't sure who it was, the fire, smoke, and dark sky all clouded his visual sensors... On top of all that, it was if the figure carried a veil of darkness around him... He spoke in a very metallic and emotionless voice...[/i] [b]Dark figure:[/b] Conventional weapons can't hurt Napalm. [b]Warlock:[/b] Who.. Who are you? [b]Dark figure:[/b] I'm an... old friend of Doctor Light. [b]Warlock:[/b] But... Why are you here? [b]Dark figure:[/b] Take this. [i]The Dark figure focuses, and something materialises in his hand... Warlock can't make it out, but catches it anyway... It's a small power cell... Or at least something resembling one, anyway. By his guess, Warlock would say it was a standard cell for a Type-9 buster... But he was wrong.[/i] [b]Dark figure:[/b] Install that into your Hellspawn buster. It will vastly improve it. [b]Warlock:[/b] Will it... Allow me to defeat Napalm? [b]Dark figure:[/b] Yes. All you have to do is shoot him in the chest with that weapon, and he'll be defeated.. [b]Warlock:[/b] Thank you... But tell me, who are you, and how do you know so much about.. [i]But when Warlock lifted his head, the figure in the cloak was gone... He stood up, and checked around him... No-one... His buster shone.. It had all been real, all right. But who was the mysterious cloaked figure? Warlock thought to himself for a while, and then looked at the dark sky...[/i] [b]Warlock:[/b] ...Protoman?

[I]Dread clenched his fists, and let the power surge through him... Massive cables began to sprout from his back, and quickly consumed his entire body... Within mere seconds, he was covered in a chrome armour... He was in the Juggernaut suit, and was Dreadnaught once more. Pyro wasn't sure what to think... After all, this was the demon that had killed him. But it was clear to see that this was Dread controlling the armour... He nodded in recognition, and the two proceeded to battle the drones... Pyro held his arms out, rapidly spraying firey blasts of Ki in all directions... Dreadnaught's arms opened up, revealing Mini-gun type weapons in his wrists... He opened fire, barraging the drones with shells of ki... They weren't going to let anything into the city... On the other side of the city-ship, Zylius, Aestus and Azrael were spread out, all making sure that nothing touched the ship from the other side... It was a tough battle, but they seemed to be holding them off... For now. This was only one wave. One wave out of billions upon billions upon billions more... The ship's own defences were finally activated, and fired their own lazer turrets at the drones... And it was working... Drones were falling left, right and center... But they were being rebuilt just as fast. Connor backed towards the ship, while firing multiple shots of ki in one hand, and slashing his sword madly with the other... With amazing accuracy and dexterity, Connor managed to keep any Drones out of a 2 metre radius around him... He glanced up, and sensed a familar power swooping downwards... Warlock was nearly back...[/I]

[I]The hour passed quickly... It was not long before the Squad reached The city... It was the same city as the Hunters HQ was in, but it was on the other side, in the outskirts... A long way away from base. The squad got ready to deploy... Zero walks over to the window, and looks out... He sees massive explosions coming from the east. Napalm must be there, he thinks to himself... The APC swoops down, hovering just above the surface of a main street... The area is burnt, and some parts are still on fire... It's clear to see that Napalm has caused a lot of destruction... [/I] [B]Zero:[/B] [I]Dammit... Who's behind this?! Who would cause such unearthly destruction?[/I] [I]The APC slowed down, and finally came to a stop... The hatch at the back opened, and the squad walked out, led by Zero... The Red Reploid's long blonde hair danced about in the wind, as he looked up at the massive Maverick... Napalm stood there, at least 20 feet tall... He was facing away from them, reaping destruction across the city with multiple flame jets, and missile launchers... Zero gritted his teeth, and prepared to fight... Drawing his Z-Sabre, he yelled the command to attack, and everyone followed... They spriting towards Napalm, all ready to fight... Zero reached him first, leaping skyward, Sabre drawn... He brought both hands back behind his head, and then swept them foward, slashing his sword into Napalm...[/I]

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by cloricus [/i] [B]I must say that Australia?s record isn?t perfect but that?s pitiful. I would suggest going higher up, and complaining to some one with some power about your situation. [/B][/QUOTE] And Australia would have [I]what[/I] to do with my situation? o_O

Ugh! Why does the friggin US government have to be [I]so damned arrogant?![/I] As some of you may already know, I'm leaving for the USA on June 12th. I'm gonna stay with my Dad for upwards of 3 months... Which means I have to get a Visa. 14 year old boy, going to see his Dad in the USA, and maybe attend public school there for awhile. Seems fair. But not to the US Embassy. Oh-no. My first application for Visa got declined... They didn't even supply a reason. We just recieved a little piece of paper that said 'blah blah blah your Visa application was denied blah blah'. But we weren't gonna give up there. After reapplying, this time providing letters from the school I planned on attending, and my Father. But still, I was declined. Thankfully, they gave a reason this time. Why? Because I couldn't attend public school in the US. Why? I have no idea. My Stepmother has US Citizenship, my Dad has Permanent Residentship... They pay their taxes.. Why the hell can't I attend a public junior friggin' high school!? But we persevered. We reapplied [I]again[/I], this time just stating that I WOULDN'T attend school while over there. Hell, I was gonna go anyway, screw the government... The school even SAID they were fine with me going... So just this morning, we got another letter regarding my Visa application. And guess what? Denied! Why, you ask? Because I 'don't show significant financial/social/family connections, and therefore may illegally immigrate to america past the limit of your Visa'. What the hell?! I'm 14 years old! I have no financial connections! Social and family connections? They only Social and Family connections I [I]have[/I] are in this country! God... So now, my First, and possibly only OE is cut down to 3 months, thanks to the stupid frigging US Government and its stupid rules. And to make matters worse, my Mum spend over $110 on the applications, which won't get refunded. Greedy sons of bitches. I pity everyone who lives in the USA, for having such a pathetic goverment. And that ends this rant.

I'd like to make some Music Videos... I have alot of ideas, but sadly, I lack the equipment or the software...

[B]Connor:[/B] Dammit, there goes Warlock... I suspect these drones are already swarming the planet... God dammit! What do I do?! [I]The drones were everywhere... Some were beginning to fire blasts of dark Ki at Connor. They weren't very deadly by themselves, but in groups, it was catastrophic... Connor looked around him.. They were eating up the surrounding area. He glanced at the City... He could make out Zylius, Azrael, and Aestus holding off the drones, making sure they wouldn't destroy it... Connor clenched his fists, and powered up to SSJ2. The power surge destroyed a lot of drones in the area, but they were replaced within minutes...[/I] [B]Connor:[/B] Dammit... We have no choice but to flee... [I]Connor was engulfed with anger... This was the way of his life... He came, Xero followed... And he fled. It was like a loop, never ending...[/I] [B]Connor:[/B] There is no choice... AZRAEL!! PREPARE THE CITY FOR TAKE-OFF!! [I]Azrael looked grimly back at Connor. Closing his eyes, he nodded, and teleported inside the ship... After a few seconds, the whole thing began to fold up, and transform, back into the massive transport ship it was when it first landed... Connor held his fingers to his forehead, and sent out a signal to all the fighters... He knew that they were probably dealing with the Drones elsewhere, but he needed to contact them all..[/I] Connor: [I]Everyone... This is Connor... I hate to say it, but we have to flee the planet. We don't stand a chance... If we don't sacrafice earth, then we die. And if we die, then there's no hope for the universe... And we can't let that happen. Please, all of you, come to the ship... We have to leave as soon as possible...[/I]

[I]Connor's massive surge in power totally annihilated the surrounding area. He was trying to keep to a bare minimum, but was still going overboard. There didn't seem to be any solution... until now. He knew what he had to do.[/I] [B]Connor:[/B] Warlock, don't move. [B]Warlock:[/B] Say what? [I]Connor appeared behind Warlock, now holding his sword... Before Warlock could stop him, Connor had cut him across the arm... It drew blood, which flowed down Warlock's forearm. Connor caught a single drop of blood, and clenched his hand tightly... It began to radiate a bloody glow...[/I] [B]Warlock:[/B] Huh? What's going on? [B]Connor:[/B] I've never tried it before, but I can absorb fragments of other people's DNA... [B]Warlock:[/B] So why'd you want mine? [B]Connor:[/B] Warlock, if this works, then I'll benefit greatly... And in turn, so will you. [I]Connor concentrated hard... Bolts of yellow electricity began to spark around him.. Warlock's eyes widened. A golden glow was beginning to surround him... His eyes flickered, turning tealy blue for a second... His hair began to spike up vertically, and occasionally turn gold... It was time. Connor threw his head back and yelled, as he transformed. In a flash of light, Connor was a Super Saiyajin.[/I] [B]Warlock:[/B] !!?! [B]Connor:[/B] Oh yes... It worked! Do you know what this means?! [B]Warlock:[/B] I can't fight you anymore? [B]Connor:[/B] Well, aside from that, it means that Xero will be no match for me! As a Super Saiyajin, and possibly beyond that level, I'll defeat him with ease! [I]A massive darkness spread over the sky. Connor and Warlock looked up, as did everyone else on the face of the earth... It seemed like a storm, but even storms couldn't come this quickly.. Nor this widespread. This was something much, much worse than a storm... A voice boomed down from the heavens, calling to Connor..[/I] [B]Defeat me? With ease? Don't be absurd.[/B] [I]Connor and Warlock recoiled in fear... Xero was here... Now...[/I] [B]Connor:[/B] Xero... You're here?! [B]Ha ha ha... No, it's not me.[/B] [I]Warlock and Connor looked around them. From all directions, all degrees, the drones came... A massive wave of them. Warlock and Connor stood back to back, looking around them...[/I] [B]Warlock:[/B] Any suggestions?! [B]Connor:[/B] Don't die until the others get here. [B]Warlock:[/B] I... I'll try... [I]Warlock and Connor began to power up, staring into the face of impending doom, and possibly the battle that would determine the end of the universe...[/I]

[B]Flash:[/B] Well, I'd ask him... But he'd probably turn me to stone that stare of his. [B]Craig:[/B] Heh, I know what you mean... Cold man... [I]The elevator made a familiar 'ding' sound as it reached the 3rd floor... The doors slid open silently, and the senior Trabia staff stepped out. They stood in a corridoor that split 3 ways at the end... At the very end of it was a double door, which obviously led to Cid's office... The oak door was just being closed, by none other than Z. Chang. Flash walked foward, Neil, Craig and 'Locky following behind. He reached the doors, and opened them. All four members stepped in. Cid greeted them with a faint smile, and nod of the head. Chang stood silently beside them, not even turning his head..[/I] [B]Cid:[/B] Flash, I'm glad you and your staff could attend. [B]Flash:[/B] As am I. [B]Cid:[/B] I trust you know of Galbadia's Deputy, Zian Chang. [I]Flash nodded, and extended his arm out to Chang. Chang looked at him, grinned, and shook back.[/I] [B]Z. Chang:[/B] It's nice to meet you again, Flash. [B]Flash:[/B] I'll look foward to working with you, Zian. [I]There was something between the two... It was almost as if one could sense a secret rivalry between them... It was unclear whether even Chang or Flash knew, but they were rivals, and always had been.[/I]

Uniforms... And all the girls wear their skirts excessively long, no matter what season it is... BAH! *downloads Sailor moon movies* Better. As for out of school hours, I don't care what I wear. As long as it's black.

[I]Connor grinned at Warlock's proposal. He walked over to Warlock, hands deep inside his pockets, smiling all the while... Warlock raised an eyebrow... Connor just smiled back, looking a little too pleased with himself. In a split second, Warlock was sent flying. He flew at least 200 metres backwars before crashing into a rock pillar, shattering it, and burying himself in rubble... Connor laughed.[/I] Connor: Don't get cocky now, Warlock. [I]In a huge eruption of yellow light, the rubble was flung in all directions... Warlock now stood there, electricty and a golden aura surrounding him... At Super Saiyajin level 2, Warlock was more than one hundred times stronger than he was previously...[/I] Warlock: And this is only the tip of my power. Impressed? Connor: Well, you've got potential. But remember Warlock, you've never seen me fight before, heh heh. Warlock: Bring it. Connor: Hey, I would.. But I don't wanna mess you up now... What if we need to fight the REAL enemy? Warlock: Don't worry. [I]Warlock grasps a small capsule on his belt, and picks it up. The words 'sensu' can be read on it...[/I] Connor: Of course, you're a Saiyajin.. Warlock: What doesn't kill me will only make me stronger. Connor: Heh heh... Well then, let's boogie. [I]Connor takes off his jacket, and throws his sword on top of it... Dread looks eager to see the two spar... Warlock gets into a stance, and begins to power up... Connor does much the same...[/I]

I just watched it, and... erm... Just... Wow... Can't wait 'till next week... So yeah, now all I have to do is d/l the sub of the first Episode and compare them, heh. But from what I could see it wasn't butchered... After all, we here in Aus/NZ have a better CN then you guys... :p Thank god FUNi didn't dub it. Shinji: Duh, my names Shinji! You guys wanna go have a barbeque or something 'cause nothing bad's gonna happen today, ha ha ha! That's right! Oh look, an Angel! And it's destroying a city! Hey, that's not very nice! Gosh darn it! Rats. Wow! Shucks! No way! Golly gee! etc, etc. Point is that this anime is the own, and I'm more then glad that I watched it.

Name: Flash Murakumo Mutant Name: Prince Age: 18 Sex: Male Mutant Ability: Prince is able to channel powerful Psychic Energy, and usually channels it into a small glaive. The energy is very versatile, and can be used for multiple purposes. Bio: Since a young age, Prince has been able to make things move with his mind. At first it was uncontrollable, and things tended to break whenever he was around... But through years of intense and careful practice, he can now manipulate the energy to do many things, rather than just move and destroy things. Short Description: Wears a black sleeveless shirt, green pants, black military issue boots, and a pair of shades. Carries a glaive over his back, which he uses for both attack and Psychic channeling. Has black hair, which is dyed white on the top, and spiked. (see attachment for a pic, kinda). Has dark red eyes.

[I]Signas slammed his fist against the desk... The impact left a dent in the metal, covered with a fake wood to make it seem authentic... It wasn't real. But Flash was... Signas was torn between fury, sadness, and guilt, and wasn't sure what to do... He'd never lost a member of the Hunters before, certainly not like this...[/I] [b]Signas:[/b] Dammit! This is all my fault! [I]Signas sat down in his chair, and held his head in his hands... Flash was the oldest and most experienced one there... And now, he was gone. 'I should have sent X and Zero...' He thought to himself. 'I should have sent more back-up... I'm such a fool!' Signas stood up. His mind was racing, he couldn't focus on anything... He blamed himself for the entire incident. At that moment, Zero walked into Signas' office. His armour gleamed, and his blonde hair was tied back in a neat ponytail as always.. He looked emotionless, which was generally a sign of remorse for Zero. Signas glanced over at him...[/I] [B]Zero:[/B] I'm... Sorry, Sir.. I should've... [B]Signas:[/B] No, it's not your fault, Zero... I'm to blame. I shouldn't have underestimated those damned Replimasters the way I did... [B]Zero:[/B] Commander, there's no way you could've known. We've never encountered an enemy like this before. [B]Signas:[/B] Bah, all the more reason for me to have taken caution... [I]The door to Signas' office slid open once more. X runs in, looking worried...[/I] [B]X:[/B] Commander Signas! There's a report of another Replimaster on the rampage! [B]Signas:[/B] Dear god... How many?! [B]X:[/B] Only one, Sir. They say it's massive, and is attacking using massive explosive weapons, and fireballs! [B]Signas:[/B] Any additional info? [B]X:[/B] I think it's called 'Napalm', Sir. [B]Signas:[/B] Dammit... We're low on men and low on Morale... But we have to do this. Zero, you'll take the place of Flash. Get a bike and rendevouz with the squad. X, you stay here. If anything happens to HQ, you and I will most likely have to take it out [I]alone.[/I] Plus, I need someone on Comm. [B]X:[/B] Yes, Sir. [I]Zero quickly salutes Signas, before spinning around, and sprinting out of the room... He runs around the central hub of the HQ, and enters the garage... After running down a few corrdioors, he reaches the hover bikes, and jumps on one... It starts up automatically, and he prepares to catch the rest of the squad... Although he didn't appear it, Zero was shattered... Flash was dead... He wasn't sure whether or not Flash actually cared about him, because he certainly never showed it... But Zero knew that no matter what Flash thought of him, he still felt heart broken... Flash was gone now, and it was up to Zero to take his place...[/I]

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by Transtic Nerve [/i] [B][SIZE=1] You're absolutely insane. Listen, this is a WEBSITE. And, sorry, but this isn't America... in fact, the board is run by James, who doesn't even live in America, and thus wouldn't fall under American law anyway. You don't know the Law Kuja... The Law has no patients for stupidity, well apart from those judge shows on TV, and this is simply stupidity. A judge would look at your case, if you find lawyers to waste their time doing it, and will laugh their a$s off at how immature and worthless any lawsuit against this is. YOU are upset because YOU have a PERSONAL problem with whoever. You can't sue, well you can sue, but it won't get heard, because you were banned/throws out/fired (even though you weren't being payed) from a "job" on a message board that has 2,000 people occupying from a world of 100 billion+ people. If you're even, in the slightest way, serious about this, then you need to check yourself into a psycho ward. You're just as bad, if not worse, than Gendo and his wacko-ness and premonitions of the FBI chasing him. You've lost it... you've let all anger and whatever was in your head go right out the window and now you're not even thinking on what your doing... Do you actually think anyone cares about a little web forum that "fired" you, for good reason (and even better, now that we know just how INSANE you really are)? The internet is NOT real life and not all the laws in real life apply to the net... I suggest you look at some law books... the internet is NOT a democracy. The internet is whatever we make it to be, and it does whatever we make it do... and if thats "firing" you then so be it... and there's not a damn thing you can do. What exactly are you gonna sue for? You are power hungry. You want power so you can ban every member who posts your version of "spam" on the boards. Go make your own, then run it the way you want to. Get the message chump... You're not welcome and you're not getting what you want, because it's ridiculous, stupid, and absolutely insane. Just think... Judge Judy reads your plea... "defendant Kuja (Aaron/whatever) is sueing otakuboards.com and it's owner, Adam, and operator, James for a position as 'super moderator'".... "right.... hahahahahaha".... it's not gonna happen Kuja... but you're not gonna listen, and you are going to either a) go ahead and waste your money, what little I'm sure you really have, on lawyers who will laugh in your face or b) make a complete fool of yourself by believing you can do this, but you never do. bah... you just don't get it, you never will because you're too thick headed to see anything rational. If this doesn't turn on your dim light bulb inside your head, I don't know what will. I will prepare to continue my laughing as you continually make more of a fool out of yourself. I assume, however, you won't be here much longer, and if it were up to me, you'd be gone already. [/B][/SIZE][/QUOTE] Well said, TN. Well said... I mean... Well heck, you've covered everything already really... This whole thing is so... So pathetic, kuja. I never had any respect for you, and things like this just back it up...

[I]Warlock looked up to the skies... He wondered where Connor had gone to so abruptly... It seemed like everyone was taking their own paths now... Where they were going was unclear, but it seemed apparent when they would regroup... When it all came to an end... Warlock sighed. He was about to turn, and head back to the city, when he felt someone teleport in behind him... Connor...[/I] Warlock: Connor? You're back so soon? Connor: No, I've been gone a long time.. Warlock: Wh.. What do you mean? Connor: It's hard to explain... But I've been gone at least 23 years... Warlock: Sounds like a time void. Connor: Exactly... But that's not the point. Warlock: Then what is? Connor: I've had some time to reflect on some things... And try to work out some others. Warlock: Anything that will solve our problem? Connor: Not yet... All I can say is that Xero is the cause of this... But I don't know how... [I]Dread, who had been keeping quiet the whole time, stood foward, opening his eyes, and looking into the distant twiilight horizon...[/I] Dread: When I with Xero... I saw something.. Connor: What!? Dread: It was about the size of a human hand, a bit larger... Very pale skin, and it was attached by the wrist to a black device... It hovered, and had strange tattoos on it's back... It also had an circular device on it's palm.. I think it was for absorbing energy, but It could also releasing it... Connor: That's nice, but it's not what's causing our problem.. Dread: I also head from Xero that it could 'reproduce' itself.. Connor: ...Reproduce itself? Dread: Yes, with frightening speed... From any material... Connor: Of course... It all makes sense... Warlock: So what you're saying... These things are reproducing everything.. Planets, people, everthing... Into themselves? Dread: I think so... Connor: If that's right... Then soon enough... Xero will control all matter in the Universe. [I]There was a long silence between the three, as the sun continued to set... [/I]

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by hot head [/i] [B] That and its amazing someone would even read that letter!!! [/B][/QUOTE] If you got an official looking letter from Washington, what would YOU do? Throw it away? :P

Let's face it--Bill Gates should buy a country, pump a crap load of money into it, and take over the world. And if people don't like his ideas, he can use his Programming power to shut down all Computers in the world, and then we'll all be screwed. End of Story.

[I]Dread sighed. Training just wasn't what it used to be... He ignored the stares and amazed expressions and sounds of the people watching him, as he hit the punching bag, ripping it from it's hook, and sending it flying into and through the wall of the dojo... He closed his eyes, and walked out of the room, past the onlookers and sensei of the dojo... Sure, they were all strong, but nothing compared to him... How he longed for battle. Dread was unable to sense power, and at the same time, no-one could sense his... It was like a curtain, shielding him from the rest of the world.. No-one knew he was there, and he could sense no-one else... For a long time, it had caused him depression, but now, it was building into anger, an anger that had been supressed for so long... He felt like he could snap at any moment... He pulled on his gloves, and put on his trenchcoat... It was pouring with rain now, 11:15pm... If only there was a way to break this cursed field, he thought... And finally, he could be among equals...[/I]

Bah, I hate school... Waste of my time... Only decent subjest is Text/Info management (Because I own at it..) and Art... At least the teachers there are Open minded and stuff.... English on the other hand, which *used* to be my favourite subject... ugh... I hate it..

Watch your step Adam! They'll put you in [I]Cyber Jail[/I]... Where you can get [I]Cyber Raped[/I] by [I]Cyber Convicts[/I]... It's true. I've been there, I'd know... Nasty place. Heh, anyway... What the heck? Privacy Policy? All this lingo confuses me... And why would they send you all that junk over a website that's been down for 2 years? Man... Sounds like a cleverly illustrated hoax to me... :P

[I]Dread grinned. These young punks thought they were tough, but they had another thing coming... They all holstered Handguns, a few with Uzis, and at least one with a Shotgun. The obvious 'leader' of the pack was the biggest, and had a large sword slung at his side, and a huge chrome Magnum in a holster on the other side. Dread just stood there, arms folded, smiling at the gang. They all aimed their weapons at him..[/I] Leader: Come on, dude. You don't wanna do anything stupid now. Dread: What do you want? Leader: I know that you have something VERY valuable on you... Dread: And what might that be? [I]The leader gritted his teeth, and pulled out his Magnum, pointing it up at Dread's face... Clearly fustrated, he barked at Dread..[/I] Leader: You know what I'm talking about! Don't play dumb with me! Dread: I assure you, whatever it is you think I have, I'm not giving it to you. Leader: Big mistake, buddy. Now we gonna get what you got, then find your family, and kill them to-- [I]Before he could finish his words, Dread had snapped, launching his fist into in the leader, and following on with a massive kick to the kidneys... The leader speeds through the air, and crashes into a brick wall, shattering most of it, before falling limply to the ground... The other gang members look on in shocked horror, before unloading their weapons into Dread... Dread just glares at them, as the bullets rebound off of him... After depleting all of their ammo, they one by one drop their weapons, and run... Dread stands tall, turning his head to the side and spitting on the ground... Suddenly, a massive force strikes him in the side of the head... He turns, and sees the Gang leader, holding the massive sword... Dread flicks his wrist back, to smash the leader in the face, but misses... The Leader flips away, landing with both feet against a wall, pushing off of it.. He slams his sword back around, into Dread, who blocks it with his arm. The gang leader places one hand on Dread's shoulder, and flips over him, drawing his Magnum in mid-air, and letting rip, shooting the high-powered bullets right at Dread's face... With one swipe of the arm, Dread smashes all of the bullets away, and they land harmlessly on the ground... The gang leader looks bewildered...[/I] Leader: You're... too strong... Dread: That's right. And this is only the tip of the iceberg. So if you want to live, I suggest you run. [I]The leader narrows his eyes, and clenches his teeth... Throwing his magnum to the ground, and sheathing his sword, he turns, and runs, the same way his gang did before him... Dread grins. He hadn't fought anyone in a long time... Even if they were weak. But nonetheless, it was a fight, and it got his blood flowing... He looks at his watch, and nods. Only 8:32pm. He felt like training, after this little Gang fiasco... He walks alone down the street, as a few drops of rain slowly begin to fall down on him...[/I]

[B]Flash:[/B] That's it! Everyone, retreat! [B]Slash:[/B] But Flas-- [B]Flash:![/B] Move! I'm gonna blow this place to Kingdom come, and If I were you I wouldn't want to be around when that happens, you get it?! [B]Proteus:[/B] Flash, I know the situation looks bleak, but surely.. [B]Flash:[/B] As Squad commander, I am issuing a [I]direct order[/I] to [I]retreat[/I], understand? Once you get out of the EMP field, contact the others, and tell them to get out of here as well. Head back to base... Omega, I'm assigning you the task of Squad commander. [B]Omega:[/B] Dammit, Flash... Alright.. [B]Flash:[/B] Good! Now get out of here! [I]Omega nods, and Flash jumps up over the log, unleashing a barrage of lazer blasts from both busters at once, while the group escapes... Whilst Elec deflects the attack with a shield, Magnet realises the attack is merely a diversion... He begins to power the boosters on his feet, and prepares to intercept the squad... Flash catches him doing so in the corner of his eye, and acts with lightning speed... He constantly keeps one buster aimed at Elec, while sprinting over to intercept Magnet... He does so, with a massive roundhouse kick to the mid-section, sending Magnet spiralling into the ground... Flash pointed both Busters down, and pressed them into Magnet's face... He grinned with sadistic pleasure as he unloaded a volley of energy into Magnet, soon bringing him to a total shutdown... Elec screamed in anger, and shot a massive beam of lightning towards Flash. Flash smiled, and flipped over it...[/I] [B]Elec:[/B] How?! How do you have so much energy!? [B]Flash:[/B] Limit releaser. I'm suprised you didn't figure that out. [B]Elec:[/B] Ha! You fool! Releasing your power limit may make you stronger for a few minutes, but then your power will be drained! You've doomed yourself now, Flash. [B]Flash:[/B] Oh really? We'll see who has the last laugh. [I]Elec's smile turns to an expression of worried confusion, as Flash clenched his fists tightly, and gritted his artifical teeth... A massive power surge ran through him... Elec's jaw dropped... He now knew what Flash was doing... But before he could act on it, it was too late... Flash jumped up, throwing his arms into the air, and dentonating... The area was engulfed in light, and a massive shockwave ensued... Omega and the squad, now back at the APC, turned at stared in horror at the explosion, and then threw themselves to the ground, to protect themselves from the shockwave, which smashed into them and the APC, nearly knocking it out of position... Proteus was the first to lift his head, and see the once lush green forest, now a massive crater, filled with a massive firestorm... They were all saddened deeply. Their commander, and easily the most experience and oldest reploid among them, was destroyed, all because of 4 Replimasters... Proteus snarled in anger... Something he had never felt before... His eyes were burning, his heart was pounding... His fingers felt like they were even tingling. Reploids were beyond AI... They were living things. And now, Flash was dead... Proteus stood up. He turned away from the carnage, and walked into the APC, where the other members of the squad were waiting. Omega had contacted Squad B, and they were to pull out and to rendevous at the APC... Proteus looked back at the crater, and closed his eyes... 'I will avenge you, Flash', he swore to himself, as the door of the APC slid shut...[/I]

[b]Flash:[/b] Yeah, that's him alright... Deputy Headmaster at Galbadia Garden... Z. Chang... He's a cold man.. [b]Warlock:[/b] I see... Deputy Headmaster, huh? [b]Flash:[/b] Yeah, he's my equal... [b]Neil:[/b] *raises eyebrow* So Head of Staff is the same as Deputy Headmaster? [b]Flash:[/b] ...Sorta... They're on the same level of the heirachy, so to speak.. [b]Craig:[/b] Gotcha. I'll take it we meet in Cid's Office? [b]Flash:[/b] No, we'll be meeting with the other parties in the Operations room... That's where Garden Master Norg used to reside... [b]Craig:[/b] Ahh, got it... [b]Flash:[/b] Well then, Gentlemen... I suggest we get a move on. [I]Flash walks foward, OmniElemental slung across his back, the massive platinum blade appearing even brighter against the pitch black of his coat... Craig, Neil, and Warlock follow him, as they walk down the long corridoor, towards the central hub of Balamb Garden. Flash gives the guards a quick nod as he passes them, and enters the hub... The Garden seems cheerful, Cadets and SeeD members walking around freely, chatting and playing cards... Hardly any of them, if any at all, knew of the impending chaos, or the meeting that so many were here to attend... Flash led the group up the main steps, to the elevator... He pushed the button, and waited... The elevator was already at Floor 3... After a few seconds, it arrived back at ground level, and the group stepped in. Like Chang, Flash also planned on visiting Cid...[/I]
