Kairi Posted January 29, 2005 Share Posted January 29, 2005 Year: 2200 At the dawn of the 23rd century, mankinds technological advancements were beyond anyones comprehension. - cures for every disease known to man; including cancer and aids. - the perfection of A.I (artifical intelegence) - space travel - unlimited amounts of natural resources for earth and all its colonies due to advancement in the sciences. Earth was at peace; there hadn't been any fighting, nor any full scale war for 7 years. All nuclear weapons were dismembered, unifying all of earth under a single government through the leadership of the President of Earth for 10 years; Micah Armago. Every country still had their national leaders, presidents, kings etc...but they all answered to Micah Armago. Through this time of peace, there was no need for soldiers to serve in the military for combat. All weaponary research came to a halt by the the order of President Armago because of his policy for peace on earth and all its colonies. Till now... *** New Years Eve: 12:58pm 2200 *** As like ever year, millions of citizens gathered together in celebration within the walls of all the major cities of earth. ***We are now taking you live to New Berlin, where we are only two minutes away from the crystal ball being dropped. We all here at BBC...the Berlin Broadcasting Corporation, would like to congradulate all the citizens of earth for having such a successful year of 2200. ***The view is incredible from down here at the base of the Omega Health Instution...the tallest building in the world. Everyone is looking up at the ball as it prepares to decend upon the OHI's tower peek. ***The entire city is lit up in a marvelous setting of lights, fireworks, and yes...even candles now being held by some religious members wishing for yet another year of peace. ***Here it comes ladies and gentlemen....the hour we've all been waiting for...only 10 seconds away.............5.......4......3......2.......1.. ....* Suddenly the entire city went dark. All forms of power connected to the city grid were out...leaving no lights for people to see. With the fireworks dying down...all of New Berlin was blanketed in darkness. (In a whispering tone) ***Its me...Katie King...reporting from New Berling. ''Are you still filming Dave?'' ''Yea...the camera has its own battery; but the light is very dim.'' ''Fine...thats good enough'' ***Sorry...Katie King here. I don't know if anyone is watching this...the site which your looking at is incredible. All forms of light have gone down across what seems to be the entire city. People aren't in a panic...but they're just standing around. Still looking up into the sky speechless. The silence is actually un-nerving....'' About an hour goes by without nothing being said...then... AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! A deafining scream erupts amoungst the crowd. Everyone is running around in circle...trying to escape the masses. ***OH MY GOD...OH MY GOD!...Dave...Dave where are you?'' No response...Katie turned around to see Dave's dead body lying on the ground with the camera still running on her. (In a panic...too terrified to move) ***Oh MY GOD...whats going on?...they're bodies everywhere... With corpses all around her...she circled in the same spot...trying to see if she could see anyone around...alive. With her back turned...a massive, grey hand came out of the darkness and swept Katie off her feet. The camera couldn't see exactly what it was...only the screams of the tormented Katie as her flesh was wripped to screds...being tossed into the dark. After a few minutes...the camera picked up a faint shadowy figure...then the picture went out. *** Minutes later in London, England *** ''Mr. President...Mr. President...there's something I need to show you.'' ''Not now Admiral, can't you see I'm showing my daughter the fireworks.'' From his coat pocket, Admiral Vega revieled a video tape. ''Sir...this can't wait.'' Moments later...in one of the many suites of President Armago's mansion. The admiral put in the video tape recording of BBC's New Years broadcast...showing what transpired above. ''My God in Heaven...'' proclaimed Micah...''notify the board. It's been a month since that day...and similar attacks have been made in other populated and desolate areas. With these new events...Micah has had no choice but to reopen the world wide military to help control the situation. Unknown to President Micah; there has been an underground facility underneath the streets of New York City for years preparing for a time such as this. Full of scientists, researchers, inventors, and soldiers; the project known as Heaven, under the supervision of Commander Joseph Red of America, is now recruiting the most potential individuals on earth and on all of earths colonies to lead the team to learn, contain, and destory this new threat. ******************************************************************** [B][COLOR=DarkRed]Chapter 1: Beginnings[/COLOR][/B] New York City was a beautiful place to be at in times like these. Full of light, life, and energy...people sometimes found peace in an environment like this due to the activities occuring all around planet Earth. M was finally able to leave the base which was a mile underground; [U]Project: Heaven; research and exposure of the paranormal.[/U] In the middle of times square, M was calmly walked the streets, looking into peoples eyes...feeling their emotions running through him. [I]They're frightened...[/I] he thought to himself. New York City was the center of the entire planetary economical system. All of the suburbs and slums were whipped away during the New Industrial Age...life became perfect, no war, no poverty; every mouth was filled...every heart was satisfied. [I]To an extent anyway...[/I] [I]Isn't it funny...God created man...man destroyed God...man creates a perfect world...and now...our arrogance has caught up with us.[/I] For the past month...M had been studying in the most ancient books of world history in regards to research done upon the paranormal. M had been summoned by the Project a month ago; after the events at New Berlin. His father protested against his son being used for such a task. But M volunteered...more due to his curiosity of the paranormal, as well to develope his ''gift'' even further. Buying a few supplies, and picking up a classical New York Style pizza...M decided to head back home. M called a cab and headed towards an industrial powerplant which supplied almost 70% of New York Cities power; the entrance to Project: Heaven. It was perfect...based underneathe such a power source...they would never have to worry about a lack of power due to their ''experiments'' down below. Walking into the complex...M was immidiately met by a dozen or so guards carrying state of thee art plasma rifles, capable of incinerating any form of ''flesh'' which the blasts came in contact with. ''Can I at least finish my pizza guys.'' as M put down his packages. It took nearly an hour to get through inspections...finger print scans, voice recognition, I.D tags...retnal scans...the works. M found it ridiculous...but he saw the purpose in it. [I]You never know what kind of beings could be out there...[/I] After that was all done...M picked up his packages and headed towards the elevator; preparing to descend a mile below the surface. ***Minutes later*** ''Ah, M, I'm glad to see that you've returned unharmed.'' smiled the Commander as M exited the elevator. Scientists were quite busy today...probably working on one of the ''captives.'' Project Heaven; for the past 3-5 years has been studying that of the paranormal...in theory, presented by the founder of the Project Dr. Matthew Lygar, predicted the emergence of such creatures. He was never able to prove his theory till the attack on New Berlin. Now, the project contained almost a dozen test subjects of the paranormal...caged within their own special holding cells, preventing them from escaping. M started to walk towards his quarters as Commander Red joined him. ''President Micah has been informed of our operations, and has been brought up too speed. He wishes to be updated on a regular bases...and the team is being assembled as we speak.'' ''Really'' M seemed quite excited and pleased ''So I wont be the only young one here anymore?'' ''No..'' Red placing a hand on the boys shoulder...'' you wont feel so alone anymore...I'm sure you all will get comfortable with each other quite well. Each one has been specifically hand picked to be part of this mission. They all have great potential...however it is vital for you all to work together.'' ''I understand *smiling*, I'll be in my room ok...how long will it take them for all of them to arrive.'' ''Not too long, once everyone has arrived and gotten accuanted with one another...we'll have a briefing...letting them all know exactly why they have been called to serve on Project Heaven.'' ''Ok...bye Red.'' M put down all of his packages from the surface and organized them all in there proper place. Heading towards his bed...he laid down to relax and picked up the book that he has been reading recently.

Redemption Posted January 29, 2005 Share Posted January 29, 2005 [COLOR=DarkRed][FONT=Trebuchet MS][I]Most powerful is he who has himself in his own power - Seneca, Roman dramatist, philosopher, & politician (5 BC - 65 AD)[/I] Andy read from her small, red satin covered book while she sat silently in the back seat of a government vehicle, sent to pick her up from the New York airport. Her book was full of quotes from prominent figures throughout history. The quotes inside this book somehow referred to Andy and her powers. She flicked a page, reading the next quote. [I]Hold faithfulness and sincerity as first principles - Confucius, Chinese philosopher & reformer (551 BC - 479 BC)[/I] Andy lovingly fingered the small, plain silver crucifix that hung from her neck by a fine silver chain. Down the page a little further was this quote. [I]Faithless is he that says farewell when the road darkens - J.R.R. Tolkien, British scholar & fantasy novelist (1892 - 1973)[/I] Closing the book in her hand, Andy stared at the driver in the front. " So true are these sayings of wise men - for this day and age," she said softly to herself. The car slowed and the door opened. Andy gathered her possessions and exited the vehicle in a swift movement. The muscular guards looked her up and down, seeing that Andy wasn't at all what they expected. From their reactions, she supposed they expected a smallish woman with beautiful Greek features, instead of a fairly weatherworn and muscular woman. Walking towards them with great power in her step, Andy held her large suitcase in one hand and her backpack in the other. " Identification please," one of the guards grunted. Andy silently held out her ID card that cleared her for all tests since her DNA coding was imprinted secretly into the card. With a green light for clearance, Andy followed the guards into an elevator that led down to the secret labrotory that lay hidden underneath New York city streets. The doors of the elevator opened. White corridors spread out to the left, right and centre. It seemed the dim-witted guards knew their way around the facility and led Andy to a boardroom. " You will stay here until further instructed," the guard grunted again and left. " Incompetent fools," Andy hissed at their lack of manners and sat down in one of the comfortable chairs. She opened her red book again, randomly picking a page. [I]Before God we are all equally wise - and equally foolish - Albert Einstein, US (German-born) physicist (1879 - 1955)[/I] OOC: I hope its ok that I made a place for us to meet. Sorry if I wasn't mean to. PM me if I need to change anything.[/FONT][/COLOR] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akieen Cloud Posted January 29, 2005 Share Posted January 29, 2005 Ivy walked up to the building and scoffed. "You there, how do you come?" "Peaceful." "Are you man or woman?" She rolled her eyes and took the hat off her head and raised an eyebrow. "Happy. I was summoned here for my help was I not?" "We will be the judge of that." "I do not have time for this...either do your searches and let me in or I will leave." They began their scans making her irritated. One grabed her arm roughly and began to drag her through the building. She pulled away quickly and frowned. "I am here to help your scurvy life. You will treat me as a person not a thing that you control. You will lead me to where I am to go. Now shall we give it another try?" He nodded and led her through the building to the room where Andy sat. She pulled her coat off and sat down taking out what looked like a book of names she began to go through and count the names in it. The names were creatures that she had killed in her time of beign what she liked to call a hunter. She looked at Andy and closed the book. "I am Ivy. Pleased to meet you...Your name?" She extended her hadn nodding politly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blayze Posted January 29, 2005 Share Posted January 29, 2005 Lee wandered into the building, and three security guards immediately rushed over to him, and checked him for metal objects. He had none on him, so he passed through. "Name please," said the receptionist nasally. "Lee Sheridan," he replied, "I'm here for the Project: Heaven meeting. Can you tell me whereabouts it is?" "Third floor, boardroom," she said impatiently, "But I need to see your ID first." He held out his identity card, with his DNA coding on it. She ran it through a computer check, and it turned out he was himself, so he went into the elevator. He went up to the third floor, then headed to the meeting room. He turned the doorknob without touching it. There were two people in the room already, and they were sitting talking. "Hi," he said as he came into the room, "I'm Lee." "Andy," said one calmly. "Ivy," said the other impatiently. "Cool," he said, sitting down, "So what do you two do?" "What do you mean?" asked Ivy. "I mean what kind of powers do you have?" "I make stuff explode," said Ivy. "I'm a pyrokinetic," said Andy. "Oh, with the fire?" Lee nodded. "What about you?" said Andy politely. "Oh, I'm a teleknetic," he said, sliding a drink across the table towards himself as a demonstration, "So when are the others getting here?"

Rei_Man Posted January 30, 2005 Share Posted January 30, 2005 "Wethryn?" Carl turned towards the voice, unable to see the man's face in the dim light of the alleyway. Personally, he thought setting up a rendevous in a dark alleyway was a bit stupid, but he could understand why. Standing in full view of the public, body armor and all, would probably attract a little too much attention, especially for a classified operation. He spoke slowly, with his right hand resting on the gun at his side. "That's right. You the guy I'm supposed to meet?" "Yes sir. I'm to escort you to the Project Heaven complex immediately." Carl smiled. He hadn't been called 'sir' for seven years, and even then it had only been for a short time. He let his hand slip away from the gun, and loosely folded his arms. "Very well. Lead the way." He followed the younger soldier out into the street, and into a black car that was waiting for them. ---------------------------------- As the car came to a halt in front of the city's main power plant, and stepped out into the open. However, once his escort led him through the door, the amount of firepower aimed at him made it plainly obvious that it was much more than an average powerplant. The escort waved off the guards, and took him over to a security gate at the far end of the room. One of the guards moved to block the entrance. "Identification please." Carl handed the guard his ID card. "Happy?" "One more thing, Mr. Wethryn. For security purposes, you will be required to leave your firearm with us." Carl frowned, making sure that an element of dissapointment and irritation sounded through in his voice. "Oh, come on. My contact assured me that I'd been cleared of all charges." "I apologise, but no unauthorised weapons are permitted within the complex. It will need to remain here until it is registered." He sighed, removed the clip from the pistol, and handed it over to the security guard. "I'm warning you, if [I]anything[/I] happens to this-" "We will take good care of it, Mr. Wethryn. You may proceed." Carl stepped through the gate, and was taken to an elevator at the end of the corridor. This took him to the third floor, where he was escorted down a series of corridors, until he reached the board room. His escort opened the door, and waved him to his seat. Three others were already inside. Once the soldier left the room, one of the three - the only other male in the room - stood and extended his hand. "The name's Lee Sheridan. I guess we'll be working together." Carl examined his new associate, and reluctantly shook his hand. "Carl Wethryn. Sorry, but I work alone." Lee stepped back in surprise, obviously having expected a more positive response, but quickly recovered. "Nonetheless, it's a pleasure to meet you." Lee gestured towards the two others behind him, as Carl lowered himself into his seat. "This is Ivy, and the other is Andy." The two women nodded in unison, then quickly returned to reading the books that they each held. Lee sat down, than glanced back towards Carl. "So Carl, how about you? What's your power?" Carl looked back at him, a look of confusion on his face. "Power?" "Yeah. You know, power. I'm a telekinetic, Andy's a pyrokinetic, and Ivy's a ... er .... I don't know what you call it, but she's got it. How about you?" Carl leaned back in his seat, and laughed lightly. "Nothing like that. Sorry." "Oh, come on. You gotta have something. Why else would you be here?" He stretched his arms behind his head, and laughed again. "I'm good with guns, but it's not exactly a power. Sorry to disappoint you." Lee closed his eyes for a second, apparently trying to figure it all out, but quickly shrugged it off and smiled. "Well, either way, it's good to have you on the team." Carl frowned slightly. "Whatever. I already told you, I work [I]alone[/I]." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akieen Cloud Posted January 30, 2005 Share Posted January 30, 2005 Ivy snapped her book shut and scoffd. "You know what, stop acting high and mighty. We are all here for the same reason to hunt down these bastards and kill them. Your no diffrent from any of us here so quit with the attitude. We all have a job and we all take it with the upmost importance. So do not think you are the only one here that works alone. I have been hunting these creatures ever since the attack in New Berlin. But you were summoned her to work as part of this team and if I feel that you are indagering any part of this organization. I will tell you. And as of right now I feel you are. Stop being such a jack ass, long ears do not look good on you." She opend her book back and began to read agian having said her peace she was no longer that upset or impatient, now she was just bored. "One thing, does anyone know when this meeting is to get underway?" She still read her book but listened for an answer as well. "Suppose not." She fliped the page, took out a pen and began to write.

Kairi Posted January 30, 2005 Author Share Posted January 30, 2005 The four new recuits were all waiting in the meeting room when Commander Red came barging into the door with a clipboards to his side. Immidiately, just by the way he presented himself, the Commander demanded great respect. ''Some of you may be wondering why you all are here today...'' said the Commander as he sat himself upon a desk at the center of the room. Behind him was an overhead projector...and in front of his was the table which the others were sitting at. ''As I'm sure you all have already done...you've introduced yourselves to one another, sharing each others ''special'' abilities...besides Mr. Carl Wethryn here who has a specialty in weaponary. And we have Ms. Andromeda...'' ''Andy please...'' raising her hand, getting the Commanders attention. ''You may address me as Commander Red if you'd like Andy...or Red if you all would like to call me that. Almost everyone on this base does. Very well, Andy, nice too have you aboardv *checking down his list*...and Ms. Ivy, and Mr. Lee. Pitty we only have five members with us today.'' ''Five sir?'' asked Carl, followed closely behind by everyone else in the group. ''I only see four of us here.'' ''Yes, forgive me of my foolishness for not saying so earlier...another member has preceeded you all coming here to the base about a month ago. I'm surprised that he is not with us presently, he was so anxious to see you all...he's been quite lonely as of late.'' ***In the Delta Wing M was fed up with his reading...and decided to go for a walk to focus his mind from the information that he had been reading about. He wanted more members of his team to arrive *unknown to his knowledge that some had already arrived* so that he could share his findings with them. Due to the Projects guidelines, everyone part of the Angel team were to keep any findings to themselves so that the risk of information wouldn't leak out due to their activities. Any personal which came into direct contact with the paranormal were kept to strict silence. They are only to answer to Commander Red and President Micah himself. Besides those two, M was subject to secrecy. Many of the scientists and researchers working in the facility were only doing surface level research on the ''experiments.'' But M; he's been working with the experiments personally for a month now. And he could only tell his findings to either Red, or his teammates. Throughout the entire hallway of the Delta Wing...there were 5 or so holding cells; each with their own paranormal experiments within them. The ghost chamber M stayed clear of. Within it contained the most deadly forms of ghosts, which everyone in the Lab named to be Jackles. Crazed ghosts who thirt the blood of the living; the ghost in this case was a African American male who was hanged, beaten, and murdered by whites in the south during the Civil war. The only thing that held the ghost within were ancient magical transcrips which the ghost could not pass. M had always been afraid of ghosts, he could only handle working with it for only a day. All the information above, was all that he could get out of the him. Now though, M was standing in front of what everyone called ''the dark knight,'' a massive 7 foot tall monster with grey skin, huge muscles and fangs stretching from ear to ear *if it had ears. Its eyes were blood shot red, with claws that could crush two mens skulls at the same time. The cell was composed of triple thick Adamantium walls so that the beast couldn't escape. The only way to look at the creature was to look through a very small hole, filled in with bullet proof glass, as well as a special chemical to harden the glass so it couldn't break. M enjoyed this one the most...cause its emotions could be felt far more easily than any of the others. Standing there in the middle of the hallway, with his hands in his pockets, his purple hair hanging over his eyes. M stared at the hole intensly, feeling the beast emotions come to him... [I]Who is your master...[/I] ***Back in the meeting room ''So what your saying is...is that we are subject to ''reading'' before we can go out into the field. What kind of crap is this? I've been fighting these things ever since it began...I know what we're dealing with.'' protested Lee. The Commander was quite annoyed with the lad...he walked to him and stared down at him. ''You have no idea what is out there...believe me when I tell you this. No one does. *walking back to the desk* You all have been chose for this task because we felt that your abilities would best suit this situation. You all will be given weapons, command over other units, and combat training...especially you Ivy; your powers are very powerful...and we need to help control that. Everyone here who has powers like you will be able to help you with that.'' ''I'm a very reasonable guy. But three things I do require of you; one, your work together. If any of you...falls out of line...will be subject to termination. Two, don't get dead...take care of one another...and be smart. Three...'' Silence... ''Kill every last one of those mother fuckers out there!'' Everyone in the room pounded their fists down upon the table in agreement. ''There will be a meeting at 15:00 hours Wednsday. And today is Saturday...so...that gives you 4 days to get yourselves situated, to get accuainted with all your other team mates...hopefully the rest will be here shortly; to choose your weaponary, and to finish reading your reports on the paranormal.'' ''What happens wednsday?'' asked Ivy ''Your first mission begins...now...'' as the Commander stood up from his desk. ''I will escort you to your quarters, and will point you in the direction of the mess hall, as well as the weapons hold. Will you please follow me...'' The Commander opened up the doors and walked out as everyone else rushed to pick up their belongings and followed him. As the group walked down the hallway, all they passed were Laboritories full of books, with an occastional body surrounded by people in white protective clothing doing research. ''What are they all doing?'' asked Carl ''These scientists are reading every known book ever written in regards to the paranormal. The bodies which they are studying are victims from different sites around the world whom have come in contact with the paranormal.'' ''And whats down there...'' asked Andy...pointing down a long hallway which came to a dead end as everyone else came to a halt. As two guards stood posted on either side of the entrance with Plasma rifles. ''That...ladies and gentlemen, is the Delta Wing...where our main research will be taking place. Where you all will begin your studies, where no unauthorized personal are allowed inside as well as any form of weaponary. However, until you all are finished reading your reports and consulting with me, you are not allowed to enter under so circumstance...is that clear.'' ''But why...'' Ivy was kinda very distraught about it...she wanted to get right to work. Not to read more...she felt like she was being treated like a child. ''My dear...its nothing personal. To be perfectly honest, I'm not prepared to let you all go down there until you understand and are well prepared for what you all will be going out to face. You will be fighting with the unknown...something no one else has every done. Precautions must be made.'' But...as Andy looked closer down the hallway, she was certain that she saw a man standing in the middle of the hallway. As she focused more and more...suddenly the man looked straight at her...his eyes were bright purple, they seemed to be looking straight into her soul. ''Now...shall we continue...'' Her attention was drawn to the Commander...when she looked back...the man was looking back at the wall which he was looking at... After about a 5 minute walk...coming into a large lounging area with a kitchen and tv set with couches and chairs...even a minny bar was set up. ''Now...here are your living quarters. Only you; members of the Angel Team will be living here. The mess hall is down hall, as well as the weapons hold. Your reports are already in your rooms, pick whichever room you'd like. And I will see you in the morning...it is now 17:00 hours, I would suggest to get some sleep.'' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meggido Posted January 30, 2005 Share Posted January 30, 2005 [COLOR=Cyan]Farel stepped out of the taxi in front of the Project: Heaven building. His AK-47 was strapped over his shoulder and his daggers were in easy to access pockets. Though he was 23 he looked younger and some people mistakenly took him for someone who had just finished high school. He looked around to make sure there were people around. He hated being alone but as long as he could see people he felt safe. He walked towards the entrance and noticed the tight security. Though he had been part of the secret service and the New Space Exploration Program he hated security. To him it seemed like an inconvenience as humans weren't the enemy and the enemy could appear out of no where. [I]Lets have some fun,[/I] Farel thought. [I]Let's see how long it takes them to catch me.[/I] Farel slipped into the shadows blending into his surroundings. He walked past the guards at the front door, who didn't seem to notice him at all. As he moved through he noticed another guy being scanned in. He decided to follow because he might be led to his destination. He made it to the waiting room before he came close to being caught. As the security officer went to leave he almost ran into Farel who was just able to dodge him. As he entered the room a meeting had seemed to begun and commander like figure was speaking. ''You may address me as Commander Red if you'd like Andy...or Red if you all would like to call me that. Almost everyone on this base does. Very well, Andy, nice too have you aboardv *checking down his list*...and Ms. Ivy, and Mr. Lee. Pitty we only have five members with us today.'' Farel almost jumped out of his hiding when this was said. He believed that the Commander knew he was there. But how could that be. No one had ever been able to see through his Chameleon ability. ''Five sir?'' asked Carl, followed closely behind by everyone else in the group. ''I only see four of us here.'' ''Yes, forgive me of my foolishness for not saying so earlier...another member has preceeded you all coming here to the base about a month ago. I'm surprised that he is not with us presently, he was so anxious to see you all...he's been quite lonely as of late.'' Farel let out a sigh of relief. So he hadn't been spotted yet. But he could at least get an idea of the rest of the team through there words without their knowledge. Farel followed the team through what the Commander called the delta wing to the Living quarters. It was at this point that Farel decided to give up the charade. He reappeared in front of everyone. "This is Mr. Sandivar. As you just saw he too has special abilities." The Commander said. "So it is six not five. I assume you heard the whole briefing Mr. Sandivar?" "Ah. Yes sir. Oh and call me Farel. I hate all this formal shit."

Blayze Posted January 30, 2005 Share Posted January 30, 2005 Lee flicked open the fridge door with his power, and got himself a beer out of it. He popped the top off, and sat down on the couch, flinging his backpack full of belongings onto the floor. It hit the ground with a metallic clang. Andy looked at it, puzzled. Lee opened it, and tooke out his sword and twin handguns. "How did you get them past the metal detectors?" asked Farel. "I jammed the circuitry in the detector telekinetically. See, Sandivar, you're not the only one who can outsmart these suits." He took a swig of his beer, and settled back. "No thanks, Lee, none of the rest of us want a drink," Ivy said sarcastically. "You guys want a drink? Happy to help," replied Lee. He swung open the fridge door from where he was sitting, and got four more beers out. "I don't like beer," said Andy. "Fair enough," said Lee. He put one beer back, closed the fridge door, the three beers floated to the three other team members. "What can I get for you, little lady?" he asked Andy. "I'll just have some water," she said timidly. Lee got a bottle of water from the fridge and floated it over to Andy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Akieen Cloud Posted January 30, 2005 Share Posted January 30, 2005 Ivy smirked and poped open the beer taking a swig. "I think something is wrong with all this. I think we all know what to do with these monsters. Why go through more training and more of the shit that we have been through since the begining?" She put the beer down and She walked to the door and looked back. "I will be back. I am going to the weapons hold and then to the mess hall to get something to eat." She walked out and to the weapons hold where she picked put a bull whip and a shot gun. Going over to the wall she picked a sword that was long and broad. She swiped ot sideways and blinked as it turned into a cluster of razors connected by a piece of wire. "Wicked..." She straped all this to her back and her shorts and walked to the mess hall, her red hair pulled back into a pony tail. She got a cheese burger and sat down alone at a table in the back and began to read out of the book again, she looked up as Andy sat down with a salad and the water from the room. "What is that your reading?" "It is a list, of the monsters that I have heard of and seen in the time that they have shown." "How many?" "Over 25, 000, and counting. They have been multiplying with speed that is beyond comprehension." "You seem to know alot about them." "I study the enemy before I truly battle them. But I suppose that is also paranoia. Call it what you want but I think it nessasery to know what you fight so you do not die." "I agree." "What is it that you were reading." "Quotes. That I find important to life." 'Here is one for you to write. There is a thin line between right and wrong. Wether you cross that line depends on how hard you are pushed. If you cross it what will happen to those around you, will they die, or will you choose that path of prosperity. The choice is within your heart. All you have to do is find it and take it for your self." "Wow. Who said that?" Ivy picked up her tray ad smiled sadly. "My mother..." She walked away and back out inot the hall. ~FLASHBACK~ "Ivy! Dear come here and tell me and your father how your day at school was." Running down the walk way she smiled and jumped into her mother's arms laughing as her father tickled her. Her Eyes were blue than. "we made a piture of our family." She held up the finger painting. -12 years later- Ivy looked up through her hair and looked into the face of a beast that had come through her best friends window, the body of her half eatten mother in it's grasp. "MOTHER!" It bore down on her and snarled, her eyes turned yellow as she passed out, the beast imploding covering the room in blood and flesh. ~REALITY~ Ivy shook her head and coughed. She went back to the room adn smiled as Lee made marbles spin around the room. "Nice." She went to her room and looked over her report, a set of headphones on playing, 45 by Shinedown. [I]Ivy Minimora, age 17. Ability, explodsive. [/I] [I]Ivy is to be trianed in controling her 'talent' as best as possible. The tragic loss of parents awakened the nature in her body and now she can use it when angered. [/I] [I]Ivy will go to the round room at 0800 on the thrid day of training.[/I] "This is bullshit." She rolled over on her bed and threw a shoe at the doorr shutting it and lay on her back listening to her music. She was going to have to open up to them sooner o later...might as well make it sooner. "But not right now...I am to tired and I must get some sleep before the morning." She turned off her CD player and got under the cover and drifted to sleep,a pendant that no one saw under her shirt clutched in her hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Kairi Posted January 31, 2005 Author Share Posted January 31, 2005 ''So they are here...I'm glad Commander Red.'' ''I am too M...'' both men were standing outside the holding cell of the HellKnight. Red had seen him in the hallway as he was leading the group to their quarters. ''I'm glad that I can finally make some friends around here....and at least to be able to talk to someone about what I've learned.'' ''I know M...I'm sorry I've had to be so strict about it, but you do understand the precautions we had to take dont you?'' ''Of course Commander...'' ''So...what have you learned?'' There was a pause for a moment...M trying to find the words to express the emotions he was getting from the HellKnight. ''Death...all it wants is death...'' ''You mean the HellKnight...'' ''No...all of them.'' ''What...'' Red was a little confused...M had only been looking at the HellKnight for the past hour, what was he talking about ''all'' of them. ''I'm not quite sure Red...just...I get the feeling that there is something greater than simply killing innocent humans.'' ''I understand M...you should get some rest...get to know the rest of your teammates. I've told them that they have 4 days to get settled in...but, you never know when there is going to be another activity.'' ''Your right...once I get out there in the field we all will be able to learn more about these creatures. I'll see you later Red...'' and M was gone...heading towards the living quarters. ****** Lee was still showing his incredible telekinesis abilities when M walked into the room. M scanned the entire room trying to get a feel for who these people were like...but decidied not to, he felt like he should get to know them the old fashion way. ''So...you must be the fifth member *then turning to Farel on the love seat* I mean...the sixth member of this team of ours.'' Carl and Farel were the first to shake his hand...introducing themselves, then coming to Lee. ''Nice to meet ya...I'm Lee.'' ''Hello...'' taking Lee's hand...he accidently let out an emotion of the HellKnight (picture in attached down below). Lee didn't show any signs of shock...but the image was as clear as day in his mind. The fear of it...the intensity. As Lee let go of M's hand...the image was gone, leaving only a mental imprint in his mind, leaving Lee confused and frightened for a moment. ''I'm sorry Lee...I'm terribly sorry...I didn't mean too.'' ''What the hell was that?'' roared Lee as he collapsed upon a chair next to the bar...trying to calm himself. ''It was a HellKnight...'' ''A what...'' asked Carl...leaning in his chair. ''What are you two talking about?'' ''You all haven't read your reports have you...I'm sorry. A Hellknight is one of the paranormal experiments that we hold here in the lab.'' Now everyone was really confused...but Lee was estatic... ''You have one of those things HERE on this base!'' ''Can someone please tell me whats going on? Lee...be quiet for a moment...'' as Farel stood next to Lee, rubbing his back, trying to get him to calm down. ''I'm sorry everyone, let me first introduce myself...my name is M.'' ''M?'' questioned Carl. ''My mother and father called me M because I'm what you would call a empathe.'' ''An empathe...oh I know what those are...humans who can sense others emotions.'' answered Farel...finally leaving Lee by himself...taking a seat on the love seat. Lee was still shaking...the image of the HellKnight was terrifying. ''I'm not any orginary empathe...'' M walked over to Lee and placed a hand on his shoulder. Closing his eyes, M transmitted a warm, sensational feeling of a gentle summer nights breeze brushing against his face while looking up at the starts. ''Wow...'' Lee's face suddenlty seemed to brighten tremendously at the emotion which he was feeling. ''What did you do?'' ''I accidently let out an emotion of the HellKnight...so I've just given you another emotion to bring back balance to your mind.'' ''Please forgive me for putting that upon you Lee...can you forgive me?'' ''Of course man...no problem.'' as Lee again shook M's hand as they patted each other on the back. M then took a seat right next to Farel. ''I can manipulate individuals emotions with just a touch. Also, I'm able to sense anythings emotion within my range of sight.'' ''So...your not a telepath, so you can't read people's minds. But you call feel what they're thinking. Cool...'' said Carl sitting directly across from Farel and M. ''Exactly...therefore I can sense the presence of...say a paranormal in a certain area. But I keep my powers in check with humans...you all have your privacy to your feelings. Unless for you Farel...I can find you among the shadows if I chose too.'' [I]Damn...[/I] ''Don't be mad Farel...you're going to be very valuable to us.'' ''How did you know he could become one with the shadows?'' asked Lee...still sitting at the Bar. ''I read everyone's report already...can you pass me a soda please Lee.'' ''Sure *smiling...he liked this guy* coming right up.'' using his powers, Lee easily got a soda from the fridge and placed it in M's hand. ''Thanks...'' as he popped the tab and took a sip. ''Now...I know you guys are a little anxious to get out there and fight these monsters...'' ''Damn right...'' cut in Carl...causing everyone to laugh...including M. ''HAha...your right Carl. But I must warn you all...this isn't quite what your expecting. It is very important that you read your reports. Some of these things...you all haven't seen yet. There is so much that we don't yet understand...and it is our job to seek the paranormal out and discover their secrets, as well as taking them out. I mean...look at what happened to Lee.'' Everyone burst out laughing...Lee just sat there with his arms crossed...giving a evil glare at everyone. But he couldn't help himself, he also joined in in the laugh. ''I'm serious guys *as M tried to hold in his laughter* this is very real.'' ''But Ivy and Andy seem to be quite informative about these things.'' said Lee. ''Are they the two other members whom have arrived...where are they?'' ''One is in the mess hall getting something to eat...and Ivy'' ''Is in her room sleeping...'' answered M. ''Right...anyhow...like Lee said, they seem to know more about these paranormal than we do.'' ''Thats true...Andy has been hunting these things since 2 months ago...and Ivy, well; she's had a different incounter with the paranormal. That reminds me...I have a training session with her sometime.'' ''HA...good luck with that.'' said Farel, slapping M on the back. ''she looks like a tough one...so does the other one.'' ''I bet...but regardless...take my word for it guys, once you've seen some of our experiments here...you see what I mean. Yes, they may have seen more than you all have...but we're about to go out into the unknown...somewhere no one else has gone on earth to this point, believe me.'' ''So we should probably read our reports then huh...'' Lee looked a little discusted at the thought. ''I'm sorry Lee, but you all have too...so that you all can go into the Delta Wing. And, you never know when another attack will occur...it could be tomorrow for all we know.'' ''Your right M...you don't need to say anymore about it. We'll do what Commander Red asks of us...right guys.'' The rest of them nodded their heads in approval. ''Thanks a lot...now...ugh *standing up from the couch, taking his soda with him* I'm gonna head to bed...you should keep it down, Ivy seems to be stirring a bit. Sleep well guys...and remember, you all are a valued member of this team. You Lee, for your telekinesis abilities; you Farel with your stealth capabilities, and Carl...for your capabilites and experiance in battle. As are these women as well...and the other members whom I hope arrive soon.'' ''Goodnight M.'' ''Later...'' ''Night...'' As M got to his room...Andy walked in through the lounge entrance and threw away napkin she was cleaning her face with. They both exchanged a glance...and M was in his bedroom. [I] I saw him before...[/I] ''Hey guys...who was that?'' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Redemption Posted January 31, 2005 Share Posted January 31, 2005 [COLOR=DarkRed][FONT=Trebuchet MS]OOC: Such a Robin and Amon moment! The sideways glance. Andy passed a stranger that was in their living quarters. They gave a sidewards glance to each other before the man retired to his bedroom. He was a familiar sight - having seen him before when Commander Red guided them to their living quarters. She continued walking and found herself looking at Lee, Farel and Carl. " Who was that man?" she asked. " That's M. He's an empathe. Pretty impressive one too," Lee said as he scouraged around the kitchen, looking for food. " Is he one of us?" she asked again, holding her silk-covered book in her right hand. " If you mean an agent by 'one of us', then yeah, he is," Farel said coolly. " Damn this thing!" Lee suddenly cut in. He was trying to make the stove work to cook some noodles. The gas wouldn't catch fire. Andy noticed this and a sudden flame appeared in Andy's eyes. The gas caught aflame, scaring Lee. " Holy shit!" he exclaimed as the now-lit gas was burning underneath his pot of water. " I do not appreciate blasphemy!" Andy scolded as she walked past Lee and towards her room. The silver crucifix swung from side to side on her soft, pale olive skin. Pushing the door open to the room that was designated hers, Andy entered. It was a simple military style living quarters. She had lived in worse places that this during her two months of hunting the paranormal. Noticing that her luggage had been brought down, Andy unpacked and hung her clothes up all in prestine order. Going to walk out the door again, Andy noticed a piece of paper stuck on this side of the door. [I]You have a training session with Farel tomorrow morning. It will be after Ivy and M's session. Have your weapons chosen by then.[/I] " A training session with Farel... After Ivy and M's. Hmmm....." Unknown to the other agents, Andy had a large tattoo of a phoenix with its wings spread out across the small of her back and around to the front of her hips. It was done by the priest of her religion, a reminder of the powers she had and what they could do. A phoenix - legendary bird of flame - her legendary bird of flame. This was the key to her powers and only allowed her to use her right hand or her eyes to summon the flame. Andy held out her right hand and a blue ball of flame suddenly appeared in it. " My small impish friend. Could you please watch this 'M' for me?" It seemed to nod and then whizzed out of her room, going underneath the door. Streaking through the corridor, then the kitchen, then the corridor that led to M's room, it squeezed underneath his door. It bobbed mid-air, slowly making its way over to the sleeping male. Meanwhile, Andy had left her room and walked to the weaponry. It was stocked full of guns and swords. She had one particular gun she wanted, but she was totally uninterested in the swords. Picking out the H&K P8s and their specified ammunition, Andy browsed the smaller hand weapons such as daggers. These were too common for her liking. Andy wanted something unique, something that was difficult to master - she wanted Sais. She had trained with them when she was younger and now she felt the need to master them once again. A pair glistened in the light. They seemed to call to her. Taking them out of their restraints, Andy stroked the three-pronged weapons, loving the feeling of the cold metal. She loved the cold. It was because her body was like a furnace. Her powers generated an enormous amount of heat and her body was the conductor for it. Making her way back to her quarters to read the reports they had been told to read, Andy felt a little apprehensive about Project Heaven. But for now, all she could do was wait and see.[/FONT][/COLOR] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Blayze Posted January 31, 2005 Share Posted January 31, 2005 Lee tried to sleep, but kept thinking back to the images of that HellKnight. It scared him. He had heard of them before, but had never seen one, even in all his years of hunting demons and other creatures. He floated his watch over to him from his bedside table, and looked at it. 4am. He got up, and left his room, moving into the living area. He went through, and sat on the sofa. "Can't sleep?" asked a voice from the shadows. It made Lee jump, but he immediately recognised the voice. "I see that's a problem you have as well, Farel," replied Lee. He went over to where he left his bag, and picked it up. Then he carried it back over to the sofa and sat down, opening the bag. "Couldn't you have done that with your t.k?" "Well, it doesn't hurt to exercise the muscles every once in a while. Stops me getting fat." "Good point," replied Farel, "So how long have you had your powers?" "Since I was born," replied Lee, "I spent a lot of my early life in a coma while the doctors found a different psychic dampener for me." "Psychic whatener?" "Dampener. It supresses my psionic power so I can only use a small amount of my power. If I had my dampener removed then I would be a lot more powerful, but a lot less controllable. I would kinda go insane." "Tough break," said Farel. "I guess. I like to make a joke out of it. It stops me from going completely nuts with all the weirdness." "What made you go into this business?" "It's not really a business, more a full-time hobby. I got into it straight after that New Year's party. I was there, and I got away, but the rest of my family wasn't so lucky. They were killed, and there didn't seem like there was much else I could do for them apart from kill as many of those things as possible." "Fair enough," Sandivar replied. Lee got his guns out of his bag, and made sure they were loaded. They were, the clips full of bullets tipped with silver nitrate, lethal to creatures of the night. He also checked his sword. It was clean and shining, and sharp as possible. He was ready for when they started. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Akieen Cloud Posted January 31, 2005 Share Posted January 31, 2005 Ivy stirred in her bed, frowning against the nightmares that overran her consiousness. "No....no please...NO!" She sat up in her bed and took a deep breath...this wasn't like her, she never had nightmares...something had spooked her just than. "I do not understand this...What could that have been?" She shrugged and got up, going to her pack that was brought up with her she took out a thick piece of rope and tied it to the rafter above her head, she had noticed that each room was desighned to the occupents spesifacations. Ivy's was old looking and homey but dark at the same time. She took the oter end and tied it around her wrist and began to pull her self up and down with one arm, after and hour of this she switched arms and began agian, she tired of this and began to jump rope, her thin body glistening with sweat and her chest heaving. She fell to one knee as her vision blurred. She wasn't tired, just worn out now. She poened her door to go to the kitchen when a notice on her door caught her eye. [B]Your training session is with M. Be there or be kicked off.[/B] "That is bullshit!" Her eyes went bright yellow as a glass shattered in the kitchen. She looked up and snorted quietly. "Oops...I better control that..." She went to the kitchen and cleaned th e glass, carefully putting the glass in a towel and throwing it away, she opened the fridge and smiled as she found what she wanted. "Good they filled the Cold Box with just what I wanted..." She lifted out a thin can of an energy drink that only she knew to like. It tasted horrible but it gave her the energy to go for three days and sleep one all her life. Her father had made her drink them, she was used to the taste now and somewhat enjoyed it at her age. She looked at the clock and noticed it was early in the morning, she could tell Andy would soon be up. One look at the girl and one could tell she was an early bird the others as well, for the most part. She had a feeling Lee would be the last to rise. She smiled gently to the dark and began to go around the kitchen pullin gpots and pans from here and there making breafast as she heard other stir from the smell of the food. She set the table, each plate had a set of chopsticks and a fork, whatever they perfered. She set down close to 15 omlets and a plate of scrambled eggs and bacon and sasauge. Toast and pancakes there as well. Fried apples and peaches to go on the pancakes and coffe and milk. Orange juice for those that liked it, she detested it with all her being. To much acid. As she predicted Andy was the first out, she seemed to be showed for she was completly dressed and ready for the day, her book under her arm. "Good morning." Andy stopped. "W-What is this?" "Breakfast. I woke froma night terror and I decide sice it was early I would cook breakfast. And besides. I did not make a good impression on some yesterday. I hope to clean that slate with this." "Your language is so proper...where are you from?" "New Berlin." "Were you there like Lee when the attack came?" "No, not really I was at a friends house, but iy found me. They killed my mother and I assume my father. I never found him...But my heritage goes to the kings of old in the old England. So I suppose you can say it comes from there." Andy nodded and went about fixing her plate as Ivy did same. Picking an omlet and a sasuage from the contents and a fresh apple from the counter. She set it down in a uniform manner and began to eat.

Oh Mr. Netashima it is a surprise you have to wake me up today.? ?Yes don?t forget. It is up to you to prove your abilities today by getting past the guards on the upper level and make your way into the chamber where the meeting will take place.? ?Yes just give me my stuff and for god sakes get out of my room.? ?Sorry miss.? Taikaru got up and about after Netashima left the room. Her objective today was to sneak into the building of the meeting today. ?Hey Netashima where are my little ones.? ?They are on the desk where you left them last night.? ?Thanks.? She was finally off after she got suited in her black leather and had her guns in hand. -Government Secret Facility *There is only one way to get into the building and I have it with in me. The guards don?t they see that figure going around them. Oh well their loss. Now for some magic.* A dark glow entwined around her hands. The small glow, after a few seconds, went to the guards. *Illusions, I love them.* Taikaru went into the building with the guards unable to see her. It was the time the meeting should take place. The night was coming. After forcing open the door she slid down the elevator cable. She found a vent on her left and crept into it. After the twists and turns in the vent she was able to hear the conversation. ?Five? I only see four.? ?OH yes sorry my mistake.? That is what she heard before taking a turn. She had to stake out in the vents for awhile. Soon enough she heard the clanging of weapons. She traveled through the vents and found that the people were to select their weapons and go to bed. The same glow circled her hands again and the bottom of the vent blew out and the sound was silent. She dropped down to see what was happening. ?I see you have come. A bit late I would say.? ?Ah M. It is nice to finally see you face to face. Reading your journal and all was quite amusing.? ?As a member of the government I will ask you that you don?t offend when I read your mind.? ?Don?t worry you won?t. After reading all of your journals I have made a defense against all your powers. The only thing that you can do is catch me off guard.? ?Yes I see.? ?And if you do see my memories you will be quite shocked. You may even die from the shock. So please for the sake of your well being don?t look into them.? ?Well you have inspired me to show you to your living quarters.? ?Don?t worry I have already seen where the living quarters are.? ?You haven?t been in here before any of us. How could you know where they are already.? ?Believe me, on the web, I do get ?around?.? Taikaru went to her bedroom to retire for the night. She laid in bed wondering about her past. Soon after the clock struck twelve she fell into a deep, yet, dangerous sleep. ~Dream Sequence The thick fog surrounded the village as Taikaru looked through the window. The fog was thick but she could some how feel her surroundings. She went back to eating her soup and her Mother said something that stuck with her until now. ?Taikaru,? ?Yes mom.? ?I want you to know something. Something I never told your father. I will tell you in these words that fear doesn?t exist. I know that is what people call it but it doesn?t exist. Fear is actually called confronting the unknown. Once you learn of your unknown specimen the thing doesn?t frighten you any more.? ?I guess so. But why are you telling me this?? ?Because Taikaru, just because.? After a sudden silence there was a watery thud. She looked up again and the man who killed her mother was there again. Her mother was soaked in her own fluids. ~End dream sequence Taikaru woke up in bed in a real hurry. She sat up and was sweating. She felt a cool breeze on her cheek. It was also wet. She went to feel it and it was a tear. ?A tear? I don?t remember having a tear until now. This was forced inside of me the whole time.? She laid back down to rest. Her eyes soon closed and she fell back to sleep. -Morning Taikaru let out a couple of groans and yawned. She got up and put on her black leather garbs again and went to the bathroom. Later she came out and was presented to a new group of people. ?Who are you?? asked some guy that looked at her with a glare. She seemed to recognize this person. ?Well I will tell you who I am as long as you tell me what you did to the guards yesterday when you slipped right past them.? ?Wait hold on a second. You saw me when I was out yesterday?? ?Yes can you explain to me how you were able to do that.? ?Yes well I am able to blend into the shadows. The name is Farel and I will be your teammate.? ?Now I only read four journals and yours doesn?t seem to be in my memory.? ?Oh that is because I never need a journal on my private things. And by the way, you still haven?t told me your name yet.? ?The name is Taikaru. My name given to me by the Heaven project is Silent Death.? ?I see well could you give me your full name?? Taikaru looked down and made somewhat of a depressed note resonate throughout the room. ?Well,? she said with her head down ?I really don?t remember it. All I remember was my first name. All data surrounding my last name was erased for some reason. ?Now back to our feet, I see only four of you. If you were an unexpected guest where is the fifth one?? ?I think she said something about going to train. Now as for the times?? ?I know them. The time that I need to know is Wednesday 15:00 hours. I have read the briefing.? ?How could you read the briefing? That is classified by the government.? ?Well let?s just say this. I am the new age of hacker. I will go to the other training room I seen on the map. I trust you all read your papers.? ?Well we haven?t.? ?Well then you are really in the beginning. Once you read them I will see you in the government training room.? Taikaru left and went down to a hall where three guards were standing on duty. ?Show clarification please. We need to know if you read the papers.? She pulled out a bronze metal star. ?I believe I have clarification.? ?Bronze star I see. So you haven?t advanced to silver. Where you have been on a mission. Also the gold star will grant you access to the Delta Wing. That is when you have truly perfected yourself on slaying the beasts. Now I will grant you passage.? The doors slid open and she went in.

Rei_Man Posted January 31, 2005 Share Posted January 31, 2005 Carl yawned and stretched, knocking his report - which must have fallen onto his face when he drifted off - onto the floor next to his bed. He sat on the edge of the bed for a few minutes, muttering and groaning, then got up for a quick shower. Once he was dried off, he changed into a new set of clothes and opened his door. He looked down, and saw that a soldier had left a brand new body-armor vest in front of his room, along with a plain wooden box. He frowned at the armor, being quite attached to his own..... well-used.... vest, and tossed it into the nearest waste chute. Taking the lid off the box, he found his Desert Eagle, along with a note confirming that it had been registered. Carl yawned and smiled, then returned the pistol to the holster at his side. He then stepped out into the corridor, and walked down to the weapons hold. Though in the past he would've stuck to his pistol and nothing else, his last engagement with those 'things' had helped him to realise that he was going to need something extra. He glanced through the impressive collection of pistols, rifles, shotguns - and pretty much any other firearm you could think of - and after ten minutes, finally found something that looked up to the job. It looked like any other bullpup assault rifle, except for the two chambers that extended out near the back, to each side of the weapon. He flicked a switch just above the trigger, and the two chambers came alive with a dazzling blue light, sparks hopping across their surface. He decided to fire off one round into the wall, which flashed towards it at high and embedded itself into the metal, leaving a series of minor sparks in its wake. Carl quickly switched off the weapon, snatched up a few ammo clips, and hurried across to the hold's other wall, where he'd have to pick out his backup weapon. He looked along the racks of swords and the like, most of which didn't catch his attention, then came across something a little different. He took the sword from its rack, expecting to be able to hold it in one hand, than clumsily dropped it to the floor. He rubbed the top of his arm slowly. "Damn. That thing's heavier than it looks..." He lifted the blade with both hands, but still had difficulty swinging it effectively. He shifted his left hand to the end of the unusually long handle and tried again, allowed him to put a lot more strength, speed and accuracy into his swings. He smiled lightly, and walked away with the rifle in his left hand and the sword in his right, the heavy blade leaving a deep scratch in the floor. Walking into his room, he tossed the rifle and clips onto his bed, and lay the sword down next to the door. The moment he stepped into the kitchen Ivy greeted him with a smile, which confused him slightly considering that they seemed to have gotten off to a bad start the day before. "Good morning Carl. Breakfast?" Carl walked over to the fridge, taking a small bottle of pineapple juice from the compartment on the inside of the door. He shut the door, then turned around and shook his head. "No thanks Ivy. Never really been much of a breakfast person myself." He sat down heavily and then took a deep drink from the bottle. He lifted the bottle in a mock salute. "This'll do just fine."

He hadn't had one for a couple of weeks, but they always came back and they always scared him. He couldn't stand watching that event over and over. It was horrible. It had ruined his life and it was the only reason that he had joined Project: Heaven. He hated the government. If it wasn't for them he would have died that day too. But this ability, so much cheaper than camouflage paint, is what kept him alive. And now he wished he was dead. It was the only way he could be with her. He cursed his abilities. There was nothing he could do and none of the creatures described in the Project: Heaven information sounded like the one that had taken her. Farel sighed and took a look around the room. So as to suit him the walls were covered in screens that just showed people walking. It wasn't quite like being near real people but it was enough to keep him calm. He jumped out of bed, placed his daggers in their holders and slung his AK-47 over his shoulder. He wasn't going to use any of their equipment since he had customised his gun to his liking. He left the room. The kitchen wasn't far from his bedroom which made things easier on his nerves. When he got there Andy, Ivy and Carl were already up. He knew he had a trainning session with Andy sometime that morning. It would be a good chance for him to hone his skills. He noted that he should check if there was a Rocket launcher in the weaponry because you couldn't buy one of them standed issue. "Goodmorning," Farel said making the girls jump. "That's funny. I wasn't even using my powers and still made you jump." "Oh morning," Replied Ivy. "I made some breakfast if you want." Andy garbled her greetings through a mouth full of food. "Ok thanks." Farel said taking a large plate of food. He took a seat in the back corner of the room so he could see the entire mess hall, but he wanted to have some privacy this morning. He needed to think about his pain. He needed to think about [I]her [/I].

Kairi Posted February 1, 2005 Author Share Posted February 1, 2005 *Yawn...* ''I hate it when this happens...'' It had been the first time in a long while since M had felt others dreams while he slept. Lee, Ivy, and Farel all had woken him up countless times during the night with their nightmares... [I]Or was I the one causing those dreams...[/I] M had been living alone in that area of the base for 2 months without disturbances. As a child he would loss control of himself when he lived with his dad...either he would feel his fathers emotions, or his father would feel his. ''Maybe because I'm not used to them thats all.'' BANG BANG BANG!!! During the night...M had walked to the shooting range, round after round; clip after clip going into a couple of stone statues, being filtered in and out after each session. M either preferred to play pool on his own...or to come here and shoot when he was tensed up, trying to relax himself. There was a sense of comfort and control, pressing against the trigger of a weapon. His weapon of choice tonight was a 9mm automatic pistol...severing the empty clip, M replaced the pistol with a new clip...cocked it...and began to shoot again. BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG! He had been going at it for hours...not noticing how early in the morning it had become. ''I should probably head back and get a couple of hours of sleep before everyone else gets up...but...first thing is first.'' It was a daily reutine of his to check the status of his artificial parts. ''System Check...'' After locking the door, M sat on one of the benches in the men's changing room. A red screen appeared in front of M's left eye as a system check was being administered to the rest of his body. >>>Optical Sight at 120% >>>Lung Afficiancy at 120% >>>Left Arm Sensations...Clear >>>Left Arm Artificial Features...Clear. >>>Left Arm Mobility...Please evaluate manually. ''Damn it...not again.'' M hated when this happened...pressing up against the artificial vein on his left forearm, he severed his arm from his shoulder and placed it on his lap...as his eye did a integrity scan of the entire arm. ''There we go...just a glitch in the wrist motor functions thats all.'' Sliding the skin away from his wrist...M reached into his pocket and retrieved miniture mechanical tool which looked like a pen and fixed the problem. Putting his arm back on...the did another system check coming back perfectly clear. [I]It's so amazing how far human technology has come. After the accident, Dad's superiors were able to give me a completely new lung, arm and eye. With every sensation, look, even feel as a normal human feature...quite incredible really...state of the art. [/I] M went quiet for a moment...thinking back to the accident. [I]Mom...[/I] He missed home...but most of all...M missed his mom after what happened all those years ago. Without even realizing it...M thrust his left fist into the floor, leaving a huge dent in the floor. ''OOpppss....I guess I got carried away there.'' After taking a quick hot shower...M unlocked the door and walked out whistling to himself as he walked down the hallway. He walked into the lounge area to the sensation of a wonderful breakfast smell, he didn't expect everyone to be up so early....but he didn't care...the smell was sublime. M was so happy to see so many people in the lounge for a change...it brought a nice smile too his face. ''So...who made breakfast?'' Everyone turned to see M walking through the door as he kept drying his purple hair with a towel. ''Where have you been M?'' asked Lee, greeting him as he walked through the door. ''Around...couldn't sleep...'' ''Neither could I man...neither could I. Come on...lets eat, Ivy is quite the cook.'' ''Oh stop Lee...I'm not that good.'' replied Ivy, turning with a pan in her hand...scrambling some eggs. ''Hi...I'm Ivy...and you must be M.'' ''That I am...'' as M took a seat at the counter with Lee and Carl at his sides. ''Nice too meet you.'' ''Likewise.'' ''So what will it be?'' asked Andy...going in back of the counter with Ivy to help her make breakfast for everyone. ''I take it your M.'' ''That I am...nice too meet you as well Andy. Um...if its alright...can I get some of those scrambled eggs with cheese...and some toast?'' ''No problem...coming right up.'' Andy and Ivy both went to work and brought M his food with ease. ''thank you very much...'' and M immidiately began to eat... [I]This is amazing...[/I] Halfway through...while everyone was talking. Pushing away the plate for a moment, he leaned back and took in the warmth he felt from the food being digested in his belly ...he loved that feeling. Before he knew it...there was a sudden *doink* on the counter, M's head hitting the table top as he passed out in exhaustion. He woke up suddenly from the pain that shot through his head...as everyone around him laughed at him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Redemption Posted February 1, 2005 Share Posted February 1, 2005 [COLOR=DarkRed][FONT=Trebuchet MS]OOC: Ok, can everyone get my character right? She's reserved and doesn't talk much. This post will explain a lot about my character. Andy didn't like playing servant but it was for the benefit of the rest of the group. It wasn't like her to be so nice and cheerful, but she put on the act for the others. Everyone conceived her as being a nice girl, but really, she wasn't. Not when she had commited all those sins against God. M was a quite intriguing fellow. Her blue flame had folllowed him around, sharing all his little secrets with her. Andy looked over at the man as she brought over his eggs. She put them down gently and walked away. " Thank you Andy," he said. Andy put on a fake smile and walked back to her own room. How she hated being with others. She liked working alone. She didn't need help nor backup for any of the missions. The only ones she liked so far were Farel and Ivy. Farel because he was much like herself, and Ivy because she was the only one she could talk to. Lee was a bit too much for Andy to handle, and M, well, she knew most of his little secrets about his arm. Andy entered her room silently. The notice about her training session with Farel was still pinned to her door. A flame appeared in her eyes and the notice burst into flame. It dropped to the ground smouldering. A knock suddenly echoed through her room. Andy stamped out the notice and opened the door. M's face appeared. " I smelt smoke. Is something burning?" he asked rather seriously. Andy glared at him. " If I may say so, it is none of your concern M," she said as she pushed past him and out of their living quarters. The waiting infuriated her. She walked towards the training, finding it after asking directions. Twirling her Sais in each hand, Andy impatiently waited for their training sessions to begin. Two balls of flame bobbed around her as she waited, twirling her Sais expertly.[/COLOR][/FONT] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Kairi Posted February 1, 2005 Author Share Posted February 1, 2005 OCC: *shakes head*:)sorry bout that Andy...i'm starting to see that a lot of the characters are loners *lowers head* ah well...I guess we'll just play it from there. He wanted so badly to read her...but decided it wasn't the best thing to do. As tempting as it was to do it to everyone on occastion...it wasn't fair for him too. Apparently Andy had some issues...so did many of the others... [I]She seemed nice at first...apparently she was hiding her true face, a pitty.[/I] M figured it wasn't any of his business anyway, just, he did't want anything going wrong with the team when it came down to their missions. This was a team effort...if they wanted to act alone...they should have stayed out there on their own. [I]I feel upset...[/I] From how he was treated by Andy just now...and yesturday's encounter with Taikaru...thinking he would just read her mind whenever he felt like it. [I]This is gonna be an interesting couple of weeks I think...[/I] ''I wonder if there's something I can do for everyone that'll make them happy...what is it that everyone wants?'' ''Who are you talking too M?'' asked Lee...M didn't notice how close he was to him. ''Sorry...talking to myself *giving a smile*...I'll be right back ok...I have an idea.'' Saying goodbye quickly to Lee...M ran off down the corridor as fast as he could...till he found his way to Commander Red's Office. M burst through the door...trying to catch his breathe and the Commander stood up from his chair. ''What is it M...why did you run all the way here to see me?'' ''I have a favor to ask sir.'' For about an hour...M gave a status report on all the new recruits of Project: Heaven. Everyone seemed to be getting along, people were making bonds here and there...Andy, Ivy, Carl and Taikaru seemed to be more of the loner types...Red was a little discouraged about the thought. ''I don't want any loose cannons out there M...if one of these guys slips up, or even motions towards disobeying the mission; I'm cutting it lose. I will not have division...'' ''I understand Red...but I think they all are a little restless. I mean...yea it may be a precaution to have them read their reports and whatnot, as well as these training sessions. But if we trust them a little bit more...they might come into their own out there on the battle field.'' ''Are you sure M?'' ''I take full responsibility if I'm wrong Red...there's no need to keep them all waiting, and not being shown whats really going on. Some of them have experiance already...we should give them credit for that at least.'' ''And what about team work...if these four you speek of go out on there own and abandon someone...the board will have my head.'' ''No ones perfect Commander *M winking at him...a slight smirk came over Red's face*'' ''I know that M...you of all people know that. You know our code...no one gets left behind. I don't want any trouble...especially with them not being fully trained and informed.'' ''Maybe they'll warm up...who knows. Like i said...they may think they're the best...but we're all in this. We all need each other.'' Commander Red turned his chair away from M and leaned back in his chair; deep in thought. After a few moments...he turned back around and pressed a button on the load speaker. ***ATTENTION ANGEL TEAM...I HAVE BEEN INFORMED BY A TEAMATE OF YOURS THAT YOU WANT SOME ACTION. THAT WE AREN'T RESPECTING YOU ENOUGH FOR YOUR ABILITIES... ***WELL...YOU GOT IT...PREPARE YOURSELF TO BE ON THE SURFACE IN ONE HOUR, MAKE SURE YOU HAVE SILVER AMMUNITION WITH YOU...YOU'RE HEADING TO LONDON. YOU WILL BE BRIEFED ON THE SHIP AS SOON AS YOU ARE AIRBORN. HAPPY HUNTING PEOPLE! ***click ''Here...take this...'' Red pulled out an envelope from his desk drawer and threw it at M's chest. As M opened it and began to read the report...'' ''President Micah and his political team were attacked last night while you all were sleeping. Pictures from the Embassy indicate that some form of vampires are responsible for the attack.'' M took a look at the pictures taken from the struggle...corpses all over the place with flesh ripped apart at the necks. ''And what of the President?'' ''Thank God he escaped in an escape pod...he is currently on route to the New Avalon colony where our government will be established for the time being.'' ''With President Micah out of London...we don't know how long it will take before Earth goes into chaos without the President.'' ''Understood Commander...'' ''I will be sending with you 10 additional soldiers for aid. You and the rest of the Angel Team have four objectives...'' ''First...The Presidents daughter is somewhere in that city. Bio signs show that she is still alive...it is imparative that you return her to Micah'' ''Second...evacuate as many civilians as you can. There will be two carrier ships waiting for you in Scotland till you give us the word to pick you up. The vampires took a good portion of the city before nightfall...since you all will be arriving during the daytime. You'll have a head start on them...there are lot of them M...and I mean a lot...be careful.'' ''Third...this is the first sighting of vampires ever since the attack on New Berlin. Why they've shown up all of a sudden, we don't know. What we do know is that they all must have come from a point of origin...a source. I want you all too kill it...by any means necessary. We can't allow these things to get across land. Since the attack on New Berlin, we have been reading up on the ancient text of vampires...preparing you all with highly concentrated silver bullets. I'm happy that we were right in making this assumption. You all know the legends of these monsters...us it to your advantage.'' ''Fourth...as always, learn as much as you can about what might have caused this peral that has come upon us at...especially the event at New Berlin. Take care M...and God speed.'' ''Don't worry Commander'' as the two men shook hands...''I have faith in my team. We may be different...and have our issues. But this is only the beginning...'' ''Very well then...good luck.'' ''thank you sir...'' M ran out the door giving Red a quick thumbs up. Running to the Delta Wing...M headed towards his little hiding place. Coming to the counsole at the end of the hallway...he pressed in his password to the 6 digit encorder...keyed his eye in for a retnal scan...and opened the compartment. Inside lay his 8 round shotgun...his favorite 9mm automatic pistol, a chain gun...and of course...the most precious item. A retractable spear that looked like a little peg stick. But extended...it was 7 foot long with a blade at the end. ''Excellent.'' Changing the ammunition over too silver bullets for all his weaponary...M clipped the shotgun to his side...and the peg into his pocket...M put the chain gun in a backback...lunging it onto his back, as well as a ammunition belt around his waist. Before he ran out the Delta Wing, in his black muscle shirt and boots with brown pants a...he headed towards the HellKnights holding cell. Position himself where it could see him...he pointed the pistol at it...and pretended that he shot at it..with a serious glare in his eye. OCC: There you all go:)...I'm sure you were getting bored. You were probably worried that you had to wait four days:)...sorry if that is the case. Head to the surface...and get your weaponary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Kiba_the_Chosen Posted February 1, 2005 Share Posted February 1, 2005 After a bit of training Taikaru herd another sound other than her footsteps. ?Computer end training program save level 9-2.? She jumped up to a higher level just as the doors opened and the one named Andy walked in. She was wielding what Taikaru recognized as the Seis. This three pronged weapon was only mastered through skill. Watching as the blades were being wielded through the balls of fire around her she was able to complete the first 25 levels of skill with ease. The Seis was being wound and used in supreme mastery. Even though floating Taikaru was still in plain sight. The computer room was right next to her so she thought she would stop in. The room had clear glass windows and a desk with a connected system to it. ?I am what will be called a leader. The people around me are not what keep me alive. They are what keep behind. They have no idea that I am the loner.? Andy muttered to herself while she was training. The levels of the computer kept increasing yet Andy didn?t have a single flaw. After the training was over and Andy was getting ready to go Taikaru decided to use some of her gift. She went into a dark part of the room and suddenly disappeared. She then reappeared right at the shadowy corner outside the door of the training room. Andy stepped out and looked worn. She still looked like she had a lot more fight in her though. She was walking down the hall as she went straight through the crossing of hallways. ?Hey you?re Andy right?? ?Yes and who wants to know. I am tired of dealing with you people.? Andy didn?t turn around yet stayed in the position that she walked in. ?The name, if you would call it that, is Taikaru. I just want to say?? ?I know what you want. You want to say that we are on a team and you want to work together. Well I don?t buy going on teams.? ?It isn?t that,? Taikaru said in a mad gesture, ?It is the fact that you aren?t the only one that wants to work alone. Nor do you want anyone to know about your past.? ?How would you know all this.? Andy turned. Yet, the figure that was talking to her vanished. -Mess hall Farel was sitting in the corner when Taikaru appeared. He almost lost his breakfast when she appeared. ?Why Taikaru I am glad to see you made it.? ?Yes I can tell you that you don?t want to be in a bad position when fighting these paranormal creatures. That also reminds me to ask you. Did you all read your reports yet?? ?Well you see tha?? Cut off ?Fine we?ll deal with it later. I just need something to eat.? ?Well Ivy is one good cook for that matter. I think you should get something before it is gone.? ?It is already gone and I brought my own meals.? ?What meals? I don?t see any.? ?Don?t forget how much the technology increased in this age of man. My meals are compact into a tiny tablet. When dissolved it will give me as much energy as a regular meal does. After all I really don?t like to not taste things.? ?Not taste things?? ?I?ll explain later.? Taikaru went to sit down on any available table. ?Wait before you mingle yourself with the rest I want to ask something of you.? Farel glanced at her. ?I hope that you will give me a good question because I really don?t like to be delayed.? ?Oh right well you have seen all of us and our powers, except for Carl. What is your gift that was given?? ?It is still complicated to comprehend in words and I still haven?t mastered it. The first discovery of this power was fear. My gift awoken a little early and put me in a coma. That is it for now.? Taikaru walked away to the tables and popped out a round ball that looked like some kind of medicine. *No one will find out about my past. It is in the past there for I won?t bother about it.* Taikaru thought in a quite dream to herself. Breaking her concentration, Taikaru noticed that the doors opened quietly. It was Andy again. She got some food and went out. ?Not much of a friendly visit.? Carl said when going by Taikaru. ?Oh hello there. The name is Carl I am glad to meet you.? ?Hi. Did you happen to see Andy walk out on us so fast?? ?Yes that I did see. What I never did see is someone as depressed looking as you.? ?Oh I do look like that. I have been taught to keep in my emotions but lately they have been seeping through.? ?Well you got to do some training. Wednesday is not that far away.? ?Right nice meeting you Carl.? ?Nice meeting you.? With that Carl walked away. *I know how these emotions are getting through. I just don?t know why. This M character I met somehow accidentally woke my memories. I know he doesn?t mean to. I know that he will ask permission first. I just don?t know. I just hope fear will stay inside. My emotions though are still destroyed inside me. I still don?t remember how it feels to feel. To have fear, laugh, love, anger, surprise, and all the others. I don?t know if I can return them.* She got up and went to the living quarters. She went into her bed and got out the video phone. She called up the one who knew what was going on and if he didn?t no one did. *ring ring* ?Hello?? ?Mr. Netashima?? ?Oh hello Taikaru. What is it that you need?? ?Well I just need you to send me capsule #77.? ?That capsule is strictly limited to emergency use. I will only get it to you if you find out what is the problem causer and consult with it if you can. I will see you when this is done.? ?Right Mr. Netashima. Good bye.? ?Good bye Taikaru.? *Well that plan failed. I wonder where he could be.* Taikaru thought to herself. She went out into the lounge to sit. The couch there was comfortable. She sat on it waiting for people to enter. The first one was Farel. ?Well I thought no one would be here. With people going to train and all I thought no one would be in here.? ?So everyone is training. Well I will be off then. I will see you tonight. I will be back thirty minutes after everyone else comes. If not then you can suspect that I am either late or in trouble.? ?Huh. Well you be off then.? Taikaru went through the sliding metal door. Taikaru went into the upper level of the training rooms. She was in the computer rooms where the levels of things were controlled. She found no one in the training room she and Andy went into. She wandered the corridors wondering where they went. After wondering a bit she wanted to go back. She turned and she felt a presence. The lights dimmed. The hall turned pitch black. The feel of the fearful energy surged through her. The energy she felt jumped left to right across the walls. She pulled out her blades and a scream let out. It sounded like a scream of a siren. The lights turned back on and a turtle like creature with a moss green skin and fangs with a shade of red appeared. The face was slashed and the cut would heal eventually. ?Tu-san. Levitation.? The monster was levitated and she dragged it to the delta wing. ?Halt. Clarification please.? ?Is this clarification enough.? She showed him the bronze star. ?Sorry but you need to have silver.? ?Well what about this.? Around the corner came the levitated creature. The guards gasped and got out what looked like a stretcher. The creature was transported through the door on the stretcher and the creature was gone. Her blades were traced in a light black fluid. She cleaned it off and headed back to the lounge. ?So I see you were true to your word. Thirty minutes since they arrived. They are all resting in their quarters. I will retire too. She went into her bedroom and went to sleep. OOC: The light blacked out when the announcment went on so I didn't hear it but Farel will tell me.

Blayze Posted February 1, 2005 Share Posted February 1, 2005 Lee slid the silver nitrate-coated bullets into the chamber, and slammed the clip in. He cocked the gun, so it was ready to use straight away, and did the same with the other gun. He slid his sword into the sheath on his back, and made sure it was easily accessible, which it was. "Oh yeah!" he said, "Finally we get to see some action. I've been waiting to see you guys work since I got here!" "Well, now's your chance, Lee," said M, loading his weapons up, "These vampires are going to be dangerous, and we haven't had a chance to train properly yet. But you've all been doing this sort of thing since New Berlin, so I'm sure you can handle it." "I sure as hell can handle it," said Lee, picking up a combat knife from the weapons closet and sliding it into his boot. "I hope we all can..."

Akieen Cloud Posted February 1, 2005 Share Posted February 1, 2005 Ivy got ready and headed to the surface of the building where she found M. He didn't reconize her with her coat and hat on. "I try not to draw attention to my self. Look M. I know that I seem like the type that is a loner. I am not. I must get used to this. Being around people like myself. I will wait here with you till they arrive." She sat down on the ground and crossed her legs, her knees sticking out of the corners of her coat and tilited her hat down over her eyes. "Where are we going and what are we against M?" "London. Vampires." She looked at his ammunition and frowned. "Your ammunition is mostly silver......this kills them as well." She pulled out a pack of what looked like talismens and handed two to him, the paper was abnormally warm and soft. "Sun paper...The Dead Pirates, a genius there came up with it. You place it on any part of a Vampire and poof, dust. Here take some of these as well." She handed him rounds for his shotgun that seemed to glow white. "High voltage bullets give off enough power that it burns whatever it hit to ash. I hunt with these mostly if I feel overly threatened..." "Where do you get you ammunition?" "There is a section that hunts these creatures in Berline that I found as I walked the streets... they are geniuses and they make weapons for a living and send them to hunters for free just to destroy the beasts...I think we should tell Red when we return." M nodded and looked back at the building. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Meggido Posted February 1, 2005 Share Posted February 1, 2005 Farel looked up from his plate as the message for the mission came over the loudspeaker. [I]About time we got some action,[/I] he thought. It would at least take his mind off her and and that event. He needed the excitment too. It had been a while since he had used his weaponry but he was hoping that he was still as good as when he had been part of the secret service. So he hadn't read all the reports. He had read all the important reports. Those which related to the types of creatures. He made his way to the weaponry to get some silver bullets for his AK-47. His daggers were already the most pure silver you could find so that was easy to deal with. He thought it was weird that he was getting silver. Vampires were only immune to silver, if he remembered rightly, but warewolves on the other hand would fall as soon as they were hit. As he inserted the bullets into his clip and his spare clips he remembered that he should look for a rocket launcher. He was going to but remembered that he was alone in the armoury and it began to make him nervous. He decided to forget the rocket launcher for now and headed back towards the bedrooms. As he passed Taikaru's room he noticed that the door was closed and the lights out. [I]Don't tell me she's gone to sleep,[/I] was the first thing that went through his mind. He decided to be safe and knocked on the door. There was no answer so he knocked a little louder. He heard someone getting up and shortly after the door opened. "What is it?" Taikaru snapped. "Ah, we have a mission in London in less than an hour and I thought that you should know," He responded. "Bring silver bullets, supposedly we're facing vampires." OOC: Ok Taikaru why did I have to wake you up? It could have been anyone? Anyway it strange that my character's personality as gone from shy and quiet in my description to the most talkative person in the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You guys are too much:) As the team waited in the space craft, bound for London...everyone was getting briefed on the mission. A soldier was passing out little transmission devices to place within their ears. *click click...can you all hear me? Angel Team...do you copy? ''We can Commander.'' replied Lee...getting a nod from the rest of the team in agreement. ''You all may be wondering why we've given you silver bullets...primarily such weaponary is used for werewolves.'' ''Thats correct...'' answered Ivy...''Vampires are only somewhat allerigic to silver...werewolves seemed to be a more logical explanation I have some intruments to help take out the vampires but I don't have enough for everyone.'' ''Don't worry everyone...I'm sorry but...I wasn't completely honest with you all in your briefing on the ship.'' ''What?'' questioned M...''what are you talking about Commander?'' ''Werewolves M...werewolves...you all are about to be placed right into the middle of a war. I warned you M that you all needed more training and preperation...I'm happy to hear though that most of you picked up on the error.'' ''You lied to me!'' yelled M ''All you told me was that Vampires were going to be there. I told everyone what to prepare for on the ship...and you held information from me Red! Is there anything else that my team and I should know about.'' ''I'm sorry M...but I was upset with you. I figured your team would figure it out on their own. But I reported this to President Micah and he himself told me to share everything with you all. He doesn't want any more lives lost than there already has been.'' Brief pause...''now...lets continue'' M took the reciever out of his ear...''...asshole.'' Ivy put a hand on his shoulder....and he began to relax. He put the reciever back in his ear. ''The rounds that you all have recieved for your weapons are indeed of a high silver content. However, at each tip is a case of pure garlic...which shatters on impact, easily taking out both Werewolves and Vampires. Don't forget your melee weaponary as well people...severing the head or spinal cord will kill these mother fuckers as well.'' ''Your mission stays the same....find President Micah's daughter Maria...gather whatever intel you can about the situation as well as regarding to New Berlin, these creatures have only shown up recently...and I want an explanatino, also...rescue as many civilians as you can...I repeat, it will be daylight when you arrive, so you got a head start. And lastly...kill every monster you lay eyes upon...including the head Werewolf and Vampire. Good luck people...Commander Red out...*click click*'' OCC: Alright guys and gals...wasn't gonna bring in the Werewolves till later but :smirk: ...you asked for im :D ...you got im:) Sorry if that skipped people and their posts...please get to this point as soon as possible. Then we all will land right outside the walls of London. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blayze Posted January 30, 2005 Share Posted January 30, 2005 Lee flicked open the fridge door with his power, and got himself a beer out of it. He popped the top off, and sat down on the couch, flinging his backpack full of belongings onto the floor. It hit the ground with a metallic clang. Andy looked at it, puzzled. Lee opened it, and tooke out his sword and twin handguns. "How did you get them past the metal detectors?" asked Farel. "I jammed the circuitry in the detector telekinetically. See, Sandivar, you're not the only one who can outsmart these suits." He took a swig of his beer, and settled back. "No thanks, Lee, none of the rest of us want a drink," Ivy said sarcastically. "You guys want a drink? Happy to help," replied Lee. He swung open the fridge door from where he was sitting, and got four more beers out. "I don't like beer," said Andy. "Fair enough," said Lee. He put one beer back, closed the fridge door, the three beers floated to the three other team members. "What can I get for you, little lady?" he asked Andy. "I'll just have some water," she said timidly. Lee got a bottle of water from the fridge and floated it over to Andy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akieen Cloud Posted January 30, 2005 Share Posted January 30, 2005 Ivy smirked and poped open the beer taking a swig. "I think something is wrong with all this. I think we all know what to do with these monsters. Why go through more training and more of the shit that we have been through since the begining?" She put the beer down and She walked to the door and looked back. "I will be back. I am going to the weapons hold and then to the mess hall to get something to eat." She walked out and to the weapons hold where she picked put a bull whip and a shot gun. Going over to the wall she picked a sword that was long and broad. She swiped ot sideways and blinked as it turned into a cluster of razors connected by a piece of wire. "Wicked..." She straped all this to her back and her shorts and walked to the mess hall, her red hair pulled back into a pony tail. She got a cheese burger and sat down alone at a table in the back and began to read out of the book again, she looked up as Andy sat down with a salad and the water from the room. "What is that your reading?" "It is a list, of the monsters that I have heard of and seen in the time that they have shown." "How many?" "Over 25, 000, and counting. They have been multiplying with speed that is beyond comprehension." "You seem to know alot about them." "I study the enemy before I truly battle them. But I suppose that is also paranoia. Call it what you want but I think it nessasery to know what you fight so you do not die." "I agree." "What is it that you were reading." "Quotes. That I find important to life." 'Here is one for you to write. There is a thin line between right and wrong. Wether you cross that line depends on how hard you are pushed. If you cross it what will happen to those around you, will they die, or will you choose that path of prosperity. The choice is within your heart. All you have to do is find it and take it for your self." "Wow. Who said that?" Ivy picked up her tray ad smiled sadly. "My mother..." She walked away and back out inot the hall. ~FLASHBACK~ "Ivy! Dear come here and tell me and your father how your day at school was." Running down the walk way she smiled and jumped into her mother's arms laughing as her father tickled her. Her Eyes were blue than. "we made a piture of our family." She held up the finger painting. -12 years later- Ivy looked up through her hair and looked into the face of a beast that had come through her best friends window, the body of her half eatten mother in it's grasp. "MOTHER!" It bore down on her and snarled, her eyes turned yellow as she passed out, the beast imploding covering the room in blood and flesh. ~REALITY~ Ivy shook her head and coughed. She went back to the room adn smiled as Lee made marbles spin around the room. "Nice." She went to her room and looked over her report, a set of headphones on playing, 45 by Shinedown. [I]Ivy Minimora, age 17. Ability, explodsive. [/I] [I]Ivy is to be trianed in controling her 'talent' as best as possible. The tragic loss of parents awakened the nature in her body and now she can use it when angered. [/I] [I]Ivy will go to the round room at 0800 on the thrid day of training.[/I] "This is bullshit." She rolled over on her bed and threw a shoe at the doorr shutting it and lay on her back listening to her music. She was going to have to open up to them sooner o later...might as well make it sooner. "But not right now...I am to tired and I must get some sleep before the morning." She turned off her CD player and got under the cover and drifted to sleep,a pendant that no one saw under her shirt clutched in her hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kairi Posted January 31, 2005 Author Share Posted January 31, 2005 ''So they are here...I'm glad Commander Red.'' ''I am too M...'' both men were standing outside the holding cell of the HellKnight. Red had seen him in the hallway as he was leading the group to their quarters. ''I'm glad that I can finally make some friends around here....and at least to be able to talk to someone about what I've learned.'' ''I know M...I'm sorry I've had to be so strict about it, but you do understand the precautions we had to take dont you?'' ''Of course Commander...'' ''So...what have you learned?'' There was a pause for a moment...M trying to find the words to express the emotions he was getting from the HellKnight. ''Death...all it wants is death...'' ''You mean the HellKnight...'' ''No...all of them.'' ''What...'' Red was a little confused...M had only been looking at the HellKnight for the past hour, what was he talking about ''all'' of them. ''I'm not quite sure Red...just...I get the feeling that there is something greater than simply killing innocent humans.'' ''I understand M...you should get some rest...get to know the rest of your teammates. I've told them that they have 4 days to get settled in...but, you never know when there is going to be another activity.'' ''Your right...once I get out there in the field we all will be able to learn more about these creatures. I'll see you later Red...'' and M was gone...heading towards the living quarters. ****** Lee was still showing his incredible telekinesis abilities when M walked into the room. M scanned the entire room trying to get a feel for who these people were like...but decidied not to, he felt like he should get to know them the old fashion way. ''So...you must be the fifth member *then turning to Farel on the love seat* I mean...the sixth member of this team of ours.'' Carl and Farel were the first to shake his hand...introducing themselves, then coming to Lee. ''Nice to meet ya...I'm Lee.'' ''Hello...'' taking Lee's hand...he accidently let out an emotion of the HellKnight (picture in attached down below). Lee didn't show any signs of shock...but the image was as clear as day in his mind. The fear of it...the intensity. As Lee let go of M's hand...the image was gone, leaving only a mental imprint in his mind, leaving Lee confused and frightened for a moment. ''I'm sorry Lee...I'm terribly sorry...I didn't mean too.'' ''What the hell was that?'' roared Lee as he collapsed upon a chair next to the bar...trying to calm himself. ''It was a HellKnight...'' ''A what...'' asked Carl...leaning in his chair. ''What are you two talking about?'' ''You all haven't read your reports have you...I'm sorry. A Hellknight is one of the paranormal experiments that we hold here in the lab.'' Now everyone was really confused...but Lee was estatic... ''You have one of those things HERE on this base!'' ''Can someone please tell me whats going on? Lee...be quiet for a moment...'' as Farel stood next to Lee, rubbing his back, trying to get him to calm down. ''I'm sorry everyone, let me first introduce myself...my name is M.'' ''M?'' questioned Carl. ''My mother and father called me M because I'm what you would call a empathe.'' ''An empathe...oh I know what those are...humans who can sense others emotions.'' answered Farel...finally leaving Lee by himself...taking a seat on the love seat. Lee was still shaking...the image of the HellKnight was terrifying. ''I'm not any orginary empathe...'' M walked over to Lee and placed a hand on his shoulder. Closing his eyes, M transmitted a warm, sensational feeling of a gentle summer nights breeze brushing against his face while looking up at the starts. ''Wow...'' Lee's face suddenlty seemed to brighten tremendously at the emotion which he was feeling. ''What did you do?'' ''I accidently let out an emotion of the HellKnight...so I've just given you another emotion to bring back balance to your mind.'' ''Please forgive me for putting that upon you Lee...can you forgive me?'' ''Of course man...no problem.'' as Lee again shook M's hand as they patted each other on the back. M then took a seat right next to Farel. ''I can manipulate individuals emotions with just a touch. Also, I'm able to sense anythings emotion within my range of sight.'' ''So...your not a telepath, so you can't read people's minds. But you call feel what they're thinking. Cool...'' said Carl sitting directly across from Farel and M. ''Exactly...therefore I can sense the presence of...say a paranormal in a certain area. But I keep my powers in check with humans...you all have your privacy to your feelings. Unless for you Farel...I can find you among the shadows if I chose too.'' [I]Damn...[/I] ''Don't be mad Farel...you're going to be very valuable to us.'' ''How did you know he could become one with the shadows?'' asked Lee...still sitting at the Bar. ''I read everyone's report already...can you pass me a soda please Lee.'' ''Sure *smiling...he liked this guy* coming right up.'' using his powers, Lee easily got a soda from the fridge and placed it in M's hand. ''Thanks...'' as he popped the tab and took a sip. ''Now...I know you guys are a little anxious to get out there and fight these monsters...'' ''Damn right...'' cut in Carl...causing everyone to laugh...including M. ''HAha...your right Carl. But I must warn you all...this isn't quite what your expecting. It is very important that you read your reports. Some of these things...you all haven't seen yet. There is so much that we don't yet understand...and it is our job to seek the paranormal out and discover their secrets, as well as taking them out. I mean...look at what happened to Lee.'' Everyone burst out laughing...Lee just sat there with his arms crossed...giving a evil glare at everyone. But he couldn't help himself, he also joined in in the laugh. ''I'm serious guys *as M tried to hold in his laughter* this is very real.'' ''But Ivy and Andy seem to be quite informative about these things.'' said Lee. ''Are they the two other members whom have arrived...where are they?'' ''One is in the mess hall getting something to eat...and Ivy'' ''Is in her room sleeping...'' answered M. ''Right...anyhow...like Lee said, they seem to know more about these paranormal than we do.'' ''Thats true...Andy has been hunting these things since 2 months ago...and Ivy, well; she's had a different incounter with the paranormal. That reminds me...I have a training session with her sometime.'' ''HA...good luck with that.'' said Farel, slapping M on the back. ''she looks like a tough one...so does the other one.'' ''I bet...but regardless...take my word for it guys, once you've seen some of our experiments here...you see what I mean. Yes, they may have seen more than you all have...but we're about to go out into the unknown...somewhere no one else has gone on earth to this point, believe me.'' ''So we should probably read our reports then huh...'' Lee looked a little discusted at the thought. ''I'm sorry Lee, but you all have too...so that you all can go into the Delta Wing. And, you never know when another attack will occur...it could be tomorrow for all we know.'' ''Your right M...you don't need to say anymore about it. We'll do what Commander Red asks of us...right guys.'' The rest of them nodded their heads in approval. ''Thanks a lot...now...ugh *standing up from the couch, taking his soda with him* I'm gonna head to bed...you should keep it down, Ivy seems to be stirring a bit. Sleep well guys...and remember, you all are a valued member of this team. You Lee, for your telekinesis abilities; you Farel with your stealth capabilities, and Carl...for your capabilites and experiance in battle. As are these women as well...and the other members whom I hope arrive soon.'' ''Goodnight M.'' ''Later...'' ''Night...'' As M got to his room...Andy walked in through the lounge entrance and threw away napkin she was cleaning her face with. They both exchanged a glance...and M was in his bedroom. [I] I saw him before...[/I] ''Hey guys...who was that?'' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redemption Posted January 31, 2005 Share Posted January 31, 2005 [COLOR=DarkRed][FONT=Trebuchet MS]OOC: Such a Robin and Amon moment! The sideways glance. Andy passed a stranger that was in their living quarters. They gave a sidewards glance to each other before the man retired to his bedroom. He was a familiar sight - having seen him before when Commander Red guided them to their living quarters. She continued walking and found herself looking at Lee, Farel and Carl. " Who was that man?" she asked. " That's M. He's an empathe. Pretty impressive one too," Lee said as he scouraged around the kitchen, looking for food. " Is he one of us?" she asked again, holding her silk-covered book in her right hand. " If you mean an agent by 'one of us', then yeah, he is," Farel said coolly. " Damn this thing!" Lee suddenly cut in. He was trying to make the stove work to cook some noodles. The gas wouldn't catch fire. Andy noticed this and a sudden flame appeared in Andy's eyes. The gas caught aflame, scaring Lee. " Holy shit!" he exclaimed as the now-lit gas was burning underneath his pot of water. " I do not appreciate blasphemy!" Andy scolded as she walked past Lee and towards her room. The silver crucifix swung from side to side on her soft, pale olive skin. Pushing the door open to the room that was designated hers, Andy entered. It was a simple military style living quarters. She had lived in worse places that this during her two months of hunting the paranormal. Noticing that her luggage had been brought down, Andy unpacked and hung her clothes up all in prestine order. Going to walk out the door again, Andy noticed a piece of paper stuck on this side of the door. [I]You have a training session with Farel tomorrow morning. It will be after Ivy and M's session. Have your weapons chosen by then.[/I] " A training session with Farel... After Ivy and M's. Hmmm....." Unknown to the other agents, Andy had a large tattoo of a phoenix with its wings spread out across the small of her back and around to the front of her hips. It was done by the priest of her religion, a reminder of the powers she had and what they could do. A phoenix - legendary bird of flame - her legendary bird of flame. This was the key to her powers and only allowed her to use her right hand or her eyes to summon the flame. Andy held out her right hand and a blue ball of flame suddenly appeared in it. " My small impish friend. Could you please watch this 'M' for me?" It seemed to nod and then whizzed out of her room, going underneath the door. Streaking through the corridor, then the kitchen, then the corridor that led to M's room, it squeezed underneath his door. It bobbed mid-air, slowly making its way over to the sleeping male. Meanwhile, Andy had left her room and walked to the weaponry. It was stocked full of guns and swords. She had one particular gun she wanted, but she was totally uninterested in the swords. Picking out the H&K P8s and their specified ammunition, Andy browsed the smaller hand weapons such as daggers. These were too common for her liking. Andy wanted something unique, something that was difficult to master - she wanted Sais. She had trained with them when she was younger and now she felt the need to master them once again. A pair glistened in the light. They seemed to call to her. Taking them out of their restraints, Andy stroked the three-pronged weapons, loving the feeling of the cold metal. She loved the cold. It was because her body was like a furnace. Her powers generated an enormous amount of heat and her body was the conductor for it. Making her way back to her quarters to read the reports they had been told to read, Andy felt a little apprehensive about Project Heaven. But for now, all she could do was wait and see.[/FONT][/COLOR] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blayze Posted January 31, 2005 Share Posted January 31, 2005 Lee tried to sleep, but kept thinking back to the images of that HellKnight. It scared him. He had heard of them before, but had never seen one, even in all his years of hunting demons and other creatures. He floated his watch over to him from his bedside table, and looked at it. 4am. He got up, and left his room, moving into the living area. He went through, and sat on the sofa. "Can't sleep?" asked a voice from the shadows. It made Lee jump, but he immediately recognised the voice. "I see that's a problem you have as well, Farel," replied Lee. He went over to where he left his bag, and picked it up. Then he carried it back over to the sofa and sat down, opening the bag. "Couldn't you have done that with your t.k?" "Well, it doesn't hurt to exercise the muscles every once in a while. Stops me getting fat." "Good point," replied Farel, "So how long have you had your powers?" "Since I was born," replied Lee, "I spent a lot of my early life in a coma while the doctors found a different psychic dampener for me." "Psychic whatener?" "Dampener. It supresses my psionic power so I can only use a small amount of my power. If I had my dampener removed then I would be a lot more powerful, but a lot less controllable. I would kinda go insane." "Tough break," said Farel. "I guess. I like to make a joke out of it. It stops me from going completely nuts with all the weirdness." "What made you go into this business?" "It's not really a business, more a full-time hobby. I got into it straight after that New Year's party. I was there, and I got away, but the rest of my family wasn't so lucky. They were killed, and there didn't seem like there was much else I could do for them apart from kill as many of those things as possible." "Fair enough," Sandivar replied. Lee got his guns out of his bag, and made sure they were loaded. They were, the clips full of bullets tipped with silver nitrate, lethal to creatures of the night. He also checked his sword. It was clean and shining, and sharp as possible. He was ready for when they started. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akieen Cloud Posted January 31, 2005 Share Posted January 31, 2005 Ivy stirred in her bed, frowning against the nightmares that overran her consiousness. "No....no please...NO!" She sat up in her bed and took a deep breath...this wasn't like her, she never had nightmares...something had spooked her just than. "I do not understand this...What could that have been?" She shrugged and got up, going to her pack that was brought up with her she took out a thick piece of rope and tied it to the rafter above her head, she had noticed that each room was desighned to the occupents spesifacations. Ivy's was old looking and homey but dark at the same time. She took the oter end and tied it around her wrist and began to pull her self up and down with one arm, after and hour of this she switched arms and began agian, she tired of this and began to jump rope, her thin body glistening with sweat and her chest heaving. She fell to one knee as her vision blurred. She wasn't tired, just worn out now. She poened her door to go to the kitchen when a notice on her door caught her eye. [B]Your training session is with M. Be there or be kicked off.[/B] "That is bullshit!" Her eyes went bright yellow as a glass shattered in the kitchen. She looked up and snorted quietly. "Oops...I better control that..." She went to the kitchen and cleaned th e glass, carefully putting the glass in a towel and throwing it away, she opened the fridge and smiled as she found what she wanted. "Good they filled the Cold Box with just what I wanted..." She lifted out a thin can of an energy drink that only she knew to like. It tasted horrible but it gave her the energy to go for three days and sleep one all her life. Her father had made her drink them, she was used to the taste now and somewhat enjoyed it at her age. She looked at the clock and noticed it was early in the morning, she could tell Andy would soon be up. One look at the girl and one could tell she was an early bird the others as well, for the most part. She had a feeling Lee would be the last to rise. She smiled gently to the dark and began to go around the kitchen pullin gpots and pans from here and there making breafast as she heard other stir from the smell of the food. She set the table, each plate had a set of chopsticks and a fork, whatever they perfered. She set down close to 15 omlets and a plate of scrambled eggs and bacon and sasauge. Toast and pancakes there as well. Fried apples and peaches to go on the pancakes and coffe and milk. Orange juice for those that liked it, she detested it with all her being. To much acid. As she predicted Andy was the first out, she seemed to be showed for she was completly dressed and ready for the day, her book under her arm. "Good morning." Andy stopped. "W-What is this?" "Breakfast. I woke froma night terror and I decide sice it was early I would cook breakfast. And besides. I did not make a good impression on some yesterday. I hope to clean that slate with this." "Your language is so proper...where are you from?" "New Berlin." "Were you there like Lee when the attack came?" "No, not really I was at a friends house, but iy found me. They killed my mother and I assume my father. I never found him...But my heritage goes to the kings of old in the old England. So I suppose you can say it comes from there." Andy nodded and went about fixing her plate as Ivy did same. Picking an omlet and a sasuage from the contents and a fresh apple from the counter. She set it down in a uniform manner and began to eat.

Kiba_the_Chosen Posted January 31, 2005 Share Posted January 31, 2005 ?You do know what time it is right?? ?What? Oh Mr. Netashima it is a surprise you have to wake me up today.? ?Yes don?t forget. It is up to you to prove your abilities today by getting past the guards on the upper level and make your way into the chamber where the meeting will take place.? ?Yes just give me my stuff and for god sakes get out of my room.? ?Sorry miss.? Taikaru got up and about after Netashima left the room. Her objective today was to sneak into the building of the meeting today. ?Hey Netashima where are my little ones.? ?They are on the desk where you left them last night.? ?Thanks.? She was finally off after she got suited in her black leather and had her guns in hand. -Government Secret Facility *There is only one way to get into the building and I have it with in me. The guards don?t they see that figure going around them. Oh well their loss. Now for some magic.* A dark glow entwined around her hands. The small glow, after a few seconds, went to the guards. *Illusions, I love them.* Taikaru went into the building with the guards unable to see her. It was the time the meeting should take place. The night was coming. After forcing open the door she slid down the elevator cable. She found a vent on her left and crept into it. After the twists and turns in the vent she was able to hear the conversation. ?Five? I only see four.? ?OH yes sorry my mistake.? That is what she heard before taking a turn. She had to stake out in the vents for awhile. Soon enough she heard the clanging of weapons. She traveled through the vents and found that the people were to select their weapons and go to bed. The same glow circled her hands again and the bottom of the vent blew out and the sound was silent. She dropped down to see what was happening. ?I see you have come. A bit late I would say.? ?Ah M. It is nice to finally see you face to face. Reading your journal and all was quite amusing.? ?As a member of the government I will ask you that you don?t offend when I read your mind.? ?Don?t worry you won?t. After reading all of your journals I have made a defense against all your powers. The only thing that you can do is catch me off guard.? ?Yes I see.? ?And if you do see my memories you will be quite shocked. You may even die from the shock. So please for the sake of your well being don?t look into them.? ?Well you have inspired me to show you to your living quarters.? ?Don?t worry I have already seen where the living quarters are.? ?You haven?t been in here before any of us. How could you know where they are already.? ?Believe me, on the web, I do get ?around?.? Taikaru went to her bedroom to retire for the night. She laid in bed wondering about her past. Soon after the clock struck twelve she fell into a deep, yet, dangerous sleep. ~Dream Sequence The thick fog surrounded the village as Taikaru looked through the window. The fog was thick but she could some how feel her surroundings. She went back to eating her soup and her Mother said something that stuck with her until now. ?Taikaru,? ?Yes mom.? ?I want you to know something. Something I never told your father. I will tell you in these words that fear doesn?t exist. I know that is what people call it but it doesn?t exist. Fear is actually called confronting the unknown. Once you learn of your unknown specimen the thing doesn?t frighten you any more.? ?I guess so. But why are you telling me this?? ?Because Taikaru, just because.? After a sudden silence there was a watery thud. She looked up again and the man who killed her mother was there again. Her mother was soaked in her own fluids. ~End dream sequence Taikaru woke up in bed in a real hurry. She sat up and was sweating. She felt a cool breeze on her cheek. It was also wet. She went to feel it and it was a tear. ?A tear? I don?t remember having a tear until now. This was forced inside of me the whole time.? She laid back down to rest. Her eyes soon closed and she fell back to sleep. -Morning Taikaru let out a couple of groans and yawned. She got up and put on her black leather garbs again and went to the bathroom. Later she came out and was presented to a new group of people. ?Who are you?? asked some guy that looked at her with a glare. She seemed to recognize this person. ?Well I will tell you who I am as long as you tell me what you did to the guards yesterday when you slipped right past them.? ?Wait hold on a second. You saw me when I was out yesterday?? ?Yes can you explain to me how you were able to do that.? ?Yes well I am able to blend into the shadows. The name is Farel and I will be your teammate.? ?Now I only read four journals and yours doesn?t seem to be in my memory.? ?Oh that is because I never need a journal on my private things. And by the way, you still haven?t told me your name yet.? ?The name is Taikaru. My name given to me by the Heaven project is Silent Death.? ?I see well could you give me your full name?? Taikaru looked down and made somewhat of a depressed note resonate throughout the room. ?Well,? she said with her head down ?I really don?t remember it. All I remember was my first name. All data surrounding my last name was erased for some reason. ?Now back to our feet, I see only four of you. If you were an unexpected guest where is the fifth one?? ?I think she said something about going to train. Now as for the times?? ?I know them. The time that I need to know is Wednesday 15:00 hours. I have read the briefing.? ?How could you read the briefing? That is classified by the government.? ?Well let?s just say this. I am the new age of hacker. I will go to the other training room I seen on the map. I trust you all read your papers.? ?Well we haven?t.? ?Well then you are really in the beginning. Once you read them I will see you in the government training room.? Taikaru left and went down to a hall where three guards were standing on duty. ?Show clarification please. We need to know if you read the papers.? She pulled out a bronze metal star. ?I believe I have clarification.? ?Bronze star I see. So you haven?t advanced to silver. Where you have been on a mission. Also the gold star will grant you access to the Delta Wing. That is when you have truly perfected yourself on slaying the beasts. Now I will grant you passage.? The doors slid open and she went in. OOC: I hope I don?t change anything in the story because of my writing. Have fun reading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rei_Man Posted January 31, 2005 Share Posted January 31, 2005 Carl yawned and stretched, knocking his report - which must have fallen onto his face when he drifted off - onto the floor next to his bed. He sat on the edge of the bed for a few minutes, muttering and groaning, then got up for a quick shower. Once he was dried off, he changed into a new set of clothes and opened his door. He looked down, and saw that a soldier had left a brand new body-armor vest in front of his room, along with a plain wooden box. He frowned at the armor, being quite attached to his own..... well-used.... vest, and tossed it into the nearest waste chute. Taking the lid off the box, he found his Desert Eagle, along with a note confirming that it had been registered. Carl yawned and smiled, then returned the pistol to the holster at his side. He then stepped out into the corridor, and walked down to the weapons hold. Though in the past he would've stuck to his pistol and nothing else, his last engagement with those 'things' had helped him to realise that he was going to need something extra. He glanced through the impressive collection of pistols, rifles, shotguns - and pretty much any other firearm you could think of - and after ten minutes, finally found something that looked up to the job. It looked like any other bullpup assault rifle, except for the two chambers that extended out near the back, to each side of the weapon. He flicked a switch just above the trigger, and the two chambers came alive with a dazzling blue light, sparks hopping across their surface. He decided to fire off one round into the wall, which flashed towards it at high and embedded itself into the metal, leaving a series of minor sparks in its wake. Carl quickly switched off the weapon, snatched up a few ammo clips, and hurried across to the hold's other wall, where he'd have to pick out his backup weapon. He looked along the racks of swords and the like, most of which didn't catch his attention, then came across something a little different. He took the sword from its rack, expecting to be able to hold it in one hand, than clumsily dropped it to the floor. He rubbed the top of his arm slowly. "Damn. That thing's heavier than it looks..." He lifted the blade with both hands, but still had difficulty swinging it effectively. He shifted his left hand to the end of the unusually long handle and tried again, allowed him to put a lot more strength, speed and accuracy into his swings. He smiled lightly, and walked away with the rifle in his left hand and the sword in his right, the heavy blade leaving a deep scratch in the floor. Walking into his room, he tossed the rifle and clips onto his bed, and lay the sword down next to the door. The moment he stepped into the kitchen Ivy greeted him with a smile, which confused him slightly considering that they seemed to have gotten off to a bad start the day before. "Good morning Carl. Breakfast?" Carl walked over to the fridge, taking a small bottle of pineapple juice from the compartment on the inside of the door. He shut the door, then turned around and shook his head. "No thanks Ivy. Never really been much of a breakfast person myself." He sat down heavily and then took a deep drink from the bottle. He lifted the bottle in a mock salute. "This'll do just fine."

Meggido Posted January 31, 2005 Share Posted January 31, 2005 [COLOR=Cyan]Farel sat bolt upright in his bed. It had come back. The dreams. He hadn't had one for a couple of weeks, but they always came back and they always scared him. He couldn't stand watching that event over and over. It was horrible. It had ruined his life and it was the only reason that he had joined Project: Heaven. He hated the government. If it wasn't for them he would have died that day too. But this ability, so much cheaper than camouflage paint, is what kept him alive. And now he wished he was dead. It was the only way he could be with her. He cursed his abilities. There was nothing he could do and none of the creatures described in the Project: Heaven information sounded like the one that had taken her. Farel sighed and took a look around the room. So as to suit him the walls were covered in screens that just showed people walking. It wasn't quite like being near real people but it was enough to keep him calm. He jumped out of bed, placed his daggers in their holders and slung his AK-47 over his shoulder. He wasn't going to use any of their equipment since he had customised his gun to his liking. He left the room. The kitchen wasn't far from his bedroom which made things easier on his nerves. When he got there Andy, Ivy and Carl were already up. He knew he had a trainning session with Andy sometime that morning. It would be a good chance for him to hone his skills. He noted that he should check if there was a Rocket launcher in the weaponry because you couldn't buy one of them standed issue. "Goodmorning," Farel said making the girls jump. "That's funny. I wasn't even using my powers and still made you jump." "Oh morning," Replied Ivy. "I made some breakfast if you want." Andy garbled her greetings through a mouth full of food. "Ok thanks." Farel said taking a large plate of food. He took a seat in the back corner of the room so he could see the entire mess hall, but he wanted to have some privacy this morning. He needed to think about his pain. He needed to think about [I]her [/I]. OOC: I wrote this as before the intro to Taikaru because I wanted to look into some aspects of my character a bit more.[/COLOR] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Kairi Posted February 1, 2005 Author Share Posted February 1, 2005 *Yawn...* ''I hate it when this happens...'' It had been the first time in a long while since M had felt others dreams while he slept. Lee, Ivy, and Farel all had woken him up countless times during the night with their nightmares... [I]Or was I the one causing those dreams...[/I] M had been living alone in that area of the base for 2 months without disturbances. As a child he would loss control of himself when he lived with his dad...either he would feel his fathers emotions, or his father would feel his. ''Maybe because I'm not used to them thats all.'' BANG BANG BANG!!! During the night...M had walked to the shooting range, round after round; clip after clip going into a couple of stone statues, being filtered in and out after each session. M either preferred to play pool on his own...or to come here and shoot when he was tensed up, trying to relax himself. There was a sense of comfort and control, pressing against the trigger of a weapon. His weapon of choice tonight was a 9mm automatic pistol...severing the empty clip, M replaced the pistol with a new clip...cocked it...and began to shoot again. BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG! He had been going at it for hours...not noticing how early in the morning it had become. ''I should probably head back and get a couple of hours of sleep before everyone else gets up...but...first thing is first.'' It was a daily reutine of his to check the status of his artificial parts. ''System Check...'' After locking the door, M sat on one of the benches in the men's changing room. A red screen appeared in front of M's left eye as a system check was being administered to the rest of his body. >>>Optical Sight at 120% >>>Lung Afficiancy at 120% >>>Left Arm Sensations...Clear >>>Left Arm Artificial Features...Clear. >>>Left Arm Mobility...Please evaluate manually. ''Damn it...not again.'' M hated when this happened...pressing up against the artificial vein on his left forearm, he severed his arm from his shoulder and placed it on his lap...as his eye did a integrity scan of the entire arm. ''There we go...just a glitch in the wrist motor functions thats all.'' Sliding the skin away from his wrist...M reached into his pocket and retrieved miniture mechanical tool which looked like a pen and fixed the problem. Putting his arm back on...the did another system check coming back perfectly clear. [I]It's so amazing how far human technology has come. After the accident, Dad's superiors were able to give me a completely new lung, arm and eye. With every sensation, look, even feel as a normal human feature...quite incredible really...state of the art. [/I] M went quiet for a moment...thinking back to the accident. [I]Mom...[/I] He missed home...but most of all...M missed his mom after what happened all those years ago. Without even realizing it...M thrust his left fist into the floor, leaving a huge dent in the floor. ''OOpppss....I guess I got carried away there.'' After taking a quick hot shower...M unlocked the door and walked out whistling to himself as he walked down the hallway. He walked into the lounge area to the sensation of a wonderful breakfast smell, he didn't expect everyone to be up so early....but he didn't care...the smell was sublime. M was so happy to see so many people in the lounge for a change...it brought a nice smile too his face. ''So...who made breakfast?'' Everyone turned to see M walking through the door as he kept drying his purple hair with a towel. ''Where have you been M?'' asked Lee, greeting him as he walked through the door. ''Around...couldn't sleep...'' ''Neither could I man...neither could I. Come on...lets eat, Ivy is quite the cook.'' ''Oh stop Lee...I'm not that good.'' replied Ivy, turning with a pan in her hand...scrambling some eggs. ''Hi...I'm Ivy...and you must be M.'' ''That I am...'' as M took a seat at the counter with Lee and Carl at his sides. ''Nice too meet you.'' ''Likewise.'' ''So what will it be?'' asked Andy...going in back of the counter with Ivy to help her make breakfast for everyone. ''I take it your M.'' ''That I am...nice too meet you as well Andy. Um...if its alright...can I get some of those scrambled eggs with cheese...and some toast?'' ''No problem...coming right up.'' Andy and Ivy both went to work and brought M his food with ease. ''thank you very much...'' and M immidiately began to eat... [I]This is amazing...[/I] Halfway through...while everyone was talking. Pushing away the plate for a moment, he leaned back and took in the warmth he felt from the food being digested in his belly ...he loved that feeling. Before he knew it...there was a sudden *doink* on the counter, M's head hitting the table top as he passed out in exhaustion. He woke up suddenly from the pain that shot through his head...as everyone around him laughed at him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Redemption Posted February 1, 2005 Share Posted February 1, 2005 [COLOR=DarkRed][FONT=Trebuchet MS]OOC: Ok, can everyone get my character right? She's reserved and doesn't talk much. This post will explain a lot about my character. Andy didn't like playing servant but it was for the benefit of the rest of the group. It wasn't like her to be so nice and cheerful, but she put on the act for the others. Everyone conceived her as being a nice girl, but really, she wasn't. Not when she had commited all those sins against God. M was a quite intriguing fellow. Her blue flame had folllowed him around, sharing all his little secrets with her. Andy looked over at the man as she brought over his eggs. She put them down gently and walked away. " Thank you Andy," he said. Andy put on a fake smile and walked back to her own room. How she hated being with others. She liked working alone. She didn't need help nor backup for any of the missions. The only ones she liked so far were Farel and Ivy. Farel because he was much like herself, and Ivy because she was the only one she could talk to. Lee was a bit too much for Andy to handle, and M, well, she knew most of his little secrets about his arm. Andy entered her room silently. The notice about her training session with Farel was still pinned to her door. A flame appeared in her eyes and the notice burst into flame. It dropped to the ground smouldering. A knock suddenly echoed through her room. Andy stamped out the notice and opened the door. M's face appeared. " I smelt smoke. Is something burning?" he asked rather seriously. Andy glared at him. " If I may say so, it is none of your concern M," she said as she pushed past him and out of their living quarters. The waiting infuriated her. She walked towards the training, finding it after asking directions. Twirling her Sais in each hand, Andy impatiently waited for their training sessions to begin. Two balls of flame bobbed around her as she waited, twirling her Sais expertly.[/COLOR][/FONT] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Kairi Posted February 1, 2005 Author Share Posted February 1, 2005 OCC: *shakes head*:)sorry bout that Andy...i'm starting to see that a lot of the characters are loners *lowers head* ah well...I guess we'll just play it from there. He wanted so badly to read her...but decided it wasn't the best thing to do. As tempting as it was to do it to everyone on occastion...it wasn't fair for him too. Apparently Andy had some issues...so did many of the others... [I]She seemed nice at first...apparently she was hiding her true face, a pitty.[/I] M figured it wasn't any of his business anyway, just, he did't want anything going wrong with the team when it came down to their missions. This was a team effort...if they wanted to act alone...they should have stayed out there on their own. [I]I feel upset...[/I] From how he was treated by Andy just now...and yesturday's encounter with Taikaru...thinking he would just read her mind whenever he felt like it. [I]This is gonna be an interesting couple of weeks I think...[/I] ''I wonder if there's something I can do for everyone that'll make them happy...what is it that everyone wants?'' ''Who are you talking too M?'' asked Lee...M didn't notice how close he was to him. ''Sorry...talking to myself *giving a smile*...I'll be right back ok...I have an idea.'' Saying goodbye quickly to Lee...M ran off down the corridor as fast as he could...till he found his way to Commander Red's Office. M burst through the door...trying to catch his breathe and the Commander stood up from his chair. ''What is it M...why did you run all the way here to see me?'' ''I have a favor to ask sir.'' For about an hour...M gave a status report on all the new recruits of Project: Heaven. Everyone seemed to be getting along, people were making bonds here and there...Andy, Ivy, Carl and Taikaru seemed to be more of the loner types...Red was a little discouraged about the thought. ''I don't want any loose cannons out there M...if one of these guys slips up, or even motions towards disobeying the mission; I'm cutting it lose. I will not have division...'' ''I understand Red...but I think they all are a little restless. I mean...yea it may be a precaution to have them read their reports and whatnot, as well as these training sessions. But if we trust them a little bit more...they might come into their own out there on the battle field.'' ''Are you sure M?'' ''I take full responsibility if I'm wrong Red...there's no need to keep them all waiting, and not being shown whats really going on. Some of them have experiance already...we should give them credit for that at least.'' ''And what about team work...if these four you speek of go out on there own and abandon someone...the board will have my head.'' ''No ones perfect Commander *M winking at him...a slight smirk came over Red's face*'' ''I know that M...you of all people know that. You know our code...no one gets left behind. I don't want any trouble...especially with them not being fully trained and informed.'' ''Maybe they'll warm up...who knows. Like i said...they may think they're the best...but we're all in this. We all need each other.'' Commander Red turned his chair away from M and leaned back in his chair; deep in thought. After a few moments...he turned back around and pressed a button on the load speaker. ***ATTENTION ANGEL TEAM...I HAVE BEEN INFORMED BY A TEAMATE OF YOURS THAT YOU WANT SOME ACTION. THAT WE AREN'T RESPECTING YOU ENOUGH FOR YOUR ABILITIES... ***WELL...YOU GOT IT...PREPARE YOURSELF TO BE ON THE SURFACE IN ONE HOUR, MAKE SURE YOU HAVE SILVER AMMUNITION WITH YOU...YOU'RE HEADING TO LONDON. YOU WILL BE BRIEFED ON THE SHIP AS SOON AS YOU ARE AIRBORN. HAPPY HUNTING PEOPLE! ***click ''Here...take this...'' Red pulled out an envelope from his desk drawer and threw it at M's chest. As M opened it and began to read the report...'' ''President Micah and his political team were attacked last night while you all were sleeping. Pictures from the Embassy indicate that some form of vampires are responsible for the attack.'' M took a look at the pictures taken from the struggle...corpses all over the place with flesh ripped apart at the necks. ''And what of the President?'' ''Thank God he escaped in an escape pod...he is currently on route to the New Avalon colony where our government will be established for the time being.'' ''With President Micah out of London...we don't know how long it will take before Earth goes into chaos without the President.'' ''Understood Commander...'' ''I will be sending with you 10 additional soldiers for aid. You and the rest of the Angel Team have four objectives...'' ''First...The Presidents daughter is somewhere in that city. Bio signs show that she is still alive...it is imparative that you return her to Micah'' ''Second...evacuate as many civilians as you can. There will be two carrier ships waiting for you in Scotland till you give us the word to pick you up. The vampires took a good portion of the city before nightfall...since you all will be arriving during the daytime. You'll have a head start on them...there are lot of them M...and I mean a lot...be careful.'' ''Third...this is the first sighting of vampires ever since the attack on New Berlin. Why they've shown up all of a sudden, we don't know. What we do know is that they all must have come from a point of origin...a source. I want you all too kill it...by any means necessary. We can't allow these things to get across land. Since the attack on New Berlin, we have been reading up on the ancient text of vampires...preparing you all with highly concentrated silver bullets. I'm happy that we were right in making this assumption. You all know the legends of these monsters...us it to your advantage.'' ''Fourth...as always, learn as much as you can about what might have caused this peral that has come upon us at...especially the event at New Berlin. Take care M...and God speed.'' ''Don't worry Commander'' as the two men shook hands...''I have faith in my team. We may be different...and have our issues. But this is only the beginning...'' ''Very well then...good luck.'' ''thank you sir...'' M ran out the door giving Red a quick thumbs up. Running to the Delta Wing...M headed towards his little hiding place. Coming to the counsole at the end of the hallway...he pressed in his password to the 6 digit encorder...keyed his eye in for a retnal scan...and opened the compartment. Inside lay his 8 round shotgun...his favorite 9mm automatic pistol, a chain gun...and of course...the most precious item. A retractable spear that looked like a little peg stick. But extended...it was 7 foot long with a blade at the end. ''Excellent.'' Changing the ammunition over too silver bullets for all his weaponary...M clipped the shotgun to his side...and the peg into his pocket...M put the chain gun in a backback...lunging it onto his back, as well as a ammunition belt around his waist. Before he ran out the Delta Wing, in his black muscle shirt and boots with brown pants a...he headed towards the HellKnights holding cell. Position himself where it could see him...he pointed the pistol at it...and pretended that he shot at it..with a serious glare in his eye. OCC: There you all go:)...I'm sure you were getting bored. You were probably worried that you had to wait four days:)...sorry if that is the case. Head to the surface...and get your weaponary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Kiba_the_Chosen Posted February 1, 2005 Share Posted February 1, 2005 After a bit of training Taikaru herd another sound other than her footsteps. ?Computer end training program save level 9-2.? She jumped up to a higher level just as the doors opened and the one named Andy walked in. She was wielding what Taikaru recognized as the Seis. This three pronged weapon was only mastered through skill. Watching as the blades were being wielded through the balls of fire around her she was able to complete the first 25 levels of skill with ease. The Seis was being wound and used in supreme mastery. Even though floating Taikaru was still in plain sight. The computer room was right next to her so she thought she would stop in. The room had clear glass windows and a desk with a connected system to it. ?I am what will be called a leader. The people around me are not what keep me alive. They are what keep behind. They have no idea that I am the loner.? Andy muttered to herself while she was training. The levels of the computer kept increasing yet Andy didn?t have a single flaw. After the training was over and Andy was getting ready to go Taikaru decided to use some of her gift. She went into a dark part of the room and suddenly disappeared. She then reappeared right at the shadowy corner outside the door of the training room. Andy stepped out and looked worn. She still looked like she had a lot more fight in her though. She was walking down the hall as she went straight through the crossing of hallways. ?Hey you?re Andy right?? ?Yes and who wants to know. I am tired of dealing with you people.? Andy didn?t turn around yet stayed in the position that she walked in. ?The name, if you would call it that, is Taikaru. I just want to say?? ?I know what you want. You want to say that we are on a team and you want to work together. Well I don?t buy going on teams.? ?It isn?t that,? Taikaru said in a mad gesture, ?It is the fact that you aren?t the only one that wants to work alone. Nor do you want anyone to know about your past.? ?How would you know all this.? Andy turned. Yet, the figure that was talking to her vanished. -Mess hall Farel was sitting in the corner when Taikaru appeared. He almost lost his breakfast when she appeared. ?Why Taikaru I am glad to see you made it.? ?Yes I can tell you that you don?t want to be in a bad position when fighting these paranormal creatures. That also reminds me to ask you. Did you all read your reports yet?? ?Well you see tha?? Cut off ?Fine we?ll deal with it later. I just need something to eat.? ?Well Ivy is one good cook for that matter. I think you should get something before it is gone.? ?It is already gone and I brought my own meals.? ?What meals? I don?t see any.? ?Don?t forget how much the technology increased in this age of man. My meals are compact into a tiny tablet. When dissolved it will give me as much energy as a regular meal does. After all I really don?t like to not taste things.? ?Not taste things?? ?I?ll explain later.? Taikaru went to sit down on any available table. ?Wait before you mingle yourself with the rest I want to ask something of you.? Farel glanced at her. ?I hope that you will give me a good question because I really don?t like to be delayed.? ?Oh right well you have seen all of us and our powers, except for Carl. What is your gift that was given?? ?It is still complicated to comprehend in words and I still haven?t mastered it. The first discovery of this power was fear. My gift awoken a little early and put me in a coma. That is it for now.? Taikaru walked away to the tables and popped out a round ball that looked like some kind of medicine. *No one will find out about my past. It is in the past there for I won?t bother about it.* Taikaru thought in a quite dream to herself. Breaking her concentration, Taikaru noticed that the doors opened quietly. It was Andy again. She got some food and went out. ?Not much of a friendly visit.? Carl said when going by Taikaru. ?Oh hello there. The name is Carl I am glad to meet you.? ?Hi. Did you happen to see Andy walk out on us so fast?? ?Yes that I did see. What I never did see is someone as depressed looking as you.? ?Oh I do look like that. I have been taught to keep in my emotions but lately they have been seeping through.? ?Well you got to do some training. Wednesday is not that far away.? ?Right nice meeting you Carl.? ?Nice meeting you.? With that Carl walked away. *I know how these emotions are getting through. I just don?t know why. This M character I met somehow accidentally woke my memories. I know he doesn?t mean to. I know that he will ask permission first. I just don?t know. I just hope fear will stay inside. My emotions though are still destroyed inside me. I still don?t remember how it feels to feel. To have fear, laugh, love, anger, surprise, and all the others. I don?t know if I can return them.* She got up and went to the living quarters. She went into her bed and got out the video phone. She called up the one who knew what was going on and if he didn?t no one did. *ring ring* ?Hello?? ?Mr. Netashima?? ?Oh hello Taikaru. What is it that you need?? ?Well I just need you to send me capsule #77.? ?That capsule is strictly limited to emergency use. I will only get it to you if you find out what is the problem causer and consult with it if you can. I will see you when this is done.? ?Right Mr. Netashima. Good bye.? ?Good bye Taikaru.? *Well that plan failed. I wonder where he could be.* Taikaru thought to herself. She went out into the lounge to sit. The couch there was comfortable. She sat on it waiting for people to enter. The first one was Farel. ?Well I thought no one would be here. With people going to train and all I thought no one would be in here.? ?So everyone is training. Well I will be off then. I will see you tonight. I will be back thirty minutes after everyone else comes. If not then you can suspect that I am either late or in trouble.? ?Huh. Well you be off then.? Taikaru went through the sliding metal door. Taikaru went into the upper level of the training rooms. She was in the computer rooms where the levels of things were controlled. She found no one in the training room she and Andy went into. She wandered the corridors wondering where they went. After wondering a bit she wanted to go back. She turned and she felt a presence. The lights dimmed. The hall turned pitch black. The feel of the fearful energy surged through her. The energy she felt jumped left to right across the walls. She pulled out her blades and a scream let out. It sounded like a scream of a siren. The lights turned back on and a turtle like creature with a moss green skin and fangs with a shade of red appeared. The face was slashed and the cut would heal eventually. ?Tu-san. Levitation.? The monster was levitated and she dragged it to the delta wing. ?Halt. Clarification please.? ?Is this clarification enough.? She showed him the bronze star. ?Sorry but you need to have silver.? ?Well what about this.? Around the corner came the levitated creature. The guards gasped and got out what looked like a stretcher. The creature was transported through the door on the stretcher and the creature was gone. Her blades were traced in a light black fluid. She cleaned it off and headed back to the lounge. ?So I see you were true to your word. Thirty minutes since they arrived. They are all resting in their quarters. I will retire too. She went into her bedroom and went to sleep. OOC: The light blacked out when the announcment went on so I didn't hear it but Farel will tell me.

Blayze Posted February 1, 2005 Share Posted February 1, 2005 Lee slid the silver nitrate-coated bullets into the chamber, and slammed the clip in. He cocked the gun, so it was ready to use straight away, and did the same with the other gun. He slid his sword into the sheath on his back, and made sure it was easily accessible, which it was. "Oh yeah!" he said, "Finally we get to see some action. I've been waiting to see you guys work since I got here!" "Well, now's your chance, Lee," said M, loading his weapons up, "These vampires are going to be dangerous, and we haven't had a chance to train properly yet. But you've all been doing this sort of thing since New Berlin, so I'm sure you can handle it." "I sure as hell can handle it," said Lee, picking up a combat knife from the weapons closet and sliding it into his boot. "I hope we all can..."

Akieen Cloud Posted February 1, 2005 Share Posted February 1, 2005 Ivy got ready and headed to the surface of the building where she found M. He didn't reconize her with her coat and hat on. "I try not to draw attention to my self. Look M. I know that I seem like the type that is a loner. I am not. I must get used to this. Being around people like myself. I will wait here with you till they arrive." She sat down on the ground and crossed her legs, her knees sticking out of the corners of her coat and tilited her hat down over her eyes. "Where are we going and what are we against M?" "London. Vampires." She looked at his ammunition and frowned. "Your ammunition is mostly silver......this kills them as well." She pulled out a pack of what looked like talismens and handed two to him, the paper was abnormally warm and soft. "Sun paper...The Dead Pirates, a genius there came up with it. You place it on any part of a Vampire and poof, dust. Here take some of these as well." She handed him rounds for his shotgun that seemed to glow white. "High voltage bullets give off enough power that it burns whatever it hit to ash. I hunt with these mostly if I feel overly threatened..." "Where do you get you ammunition?" "There is a section that hunts these creatures in Berline that I found as I walked the streets... they are geniuses and they make weapons for a living and send them to hunters for free just to destroy the beasts...I think we should tell Red when we return." M nodded and looked back at the building. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Meggido Posted February 1, 2005 Share Posted February 1, 2005 Farel looked up from his plate as the message for the mission came over the loudspeaker. [I]About time we got some action,[/I] he thought. It would at least take his mind off her and and that event. He needed the excitment too. It had been a while since he had used his weaponry but he was hoping that he was still as good as when he had been part of the secret service. So he hadn't read all the reports. He had read all the important reports. Those which related to the types of creatures. He made his way to the weaponry to get some silver bullets for his AK-47. His daggers were already the most pure silver you could find so that was easy to deal with. He thought it was weird that he was getting silver. Vampires were only immune to silver, if he remembered rightly, but warewolves on the other hand would fall as soon as they were hit. As he inserted the bullets into his clip and his spare clips he remembered that he should look for a rocket launcher. He was going to but remembered that he was alone in the armoury and it began to make him nervous. He decided to forget the rocket launcher for now and headed back towards the bedrooms. As he passed Taikaru's room he noticed that the door was closed and the lights out. [I]Don't tell me she's gone to sleep,[/I] was the first thing that went through his mind. He decided to be safe and knocked on the door. There was no answer so he knocked a little louder. He heard someone getting up and shortly after the door opened. "What is it?" Taikaru snapped. "Ah, we have a mission in London in less than an hour and I thought that you should know," He responded. "Bring silver bullets, supposedly we're facing vampires." OOC: Ok Taikaru why did I have to wake you up? It could have been anyone? Anyway it strange that my character's personality as gone from shy and quiet in my description to the most talkative person in the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You guys are too much:) As the team waited in the space craft, bound for London...everyone was getting briefed on the mission. A soldier was passing out little transmission devices to place within their ears. *click click...can you all hear me? Angel Team...do you copy? ''We can Commander.'' replied Lee...getting a nod from the rest of the team in agreement. ''You all may be wondering why we've given you silver bullets...primarily such weaponary is used for werewolves.'' ''Thats correct...'' answered Ivy...''Vampires are only somewhat allerigic to silver...werewolves seemed to be a more logical explanation I have some intruments to help take out the vampires but I don't have enough for everyone.'' ''Don't worry everyone...I'm sorry but...I wasn't completely honest with you all in your briefing on the ship.'' ''What?'' questioned M...''what are you talking about Commander?'' ''Werewolves M...werewolves...you all are about to be placed right into the middle of a war. I warned you M that you all needed more training and preperation...I'm happy to hear though that most of you picked up on the error.'' ''You lied to me!'' yelled M ''All you told me was that Vampires were going to be there. I told everyone what to prepare for on the ship...and you held information from me Red! Is there anything else that my team and I should know about.'' ''I'm sorry M...but I was upset with you. I figured your team would figure it out on their own. But I reported this to President Micah and he himself told me to share everything with you all. He doesn't want any more lives lost than there already has been.'' Brief pause...''now...lets continue'' M took the reciever out of his ear...''...asshole.'' Ivy put a hand on his shoulder....and he began to relax. He put the reciever back in his ear. ''The rounds that you all have recieved for your weapons are indeed of a high silver content. However, at each tip is a case of pure garlic...which shatters on impact, easily taking out both Werewolves and Vampires. Don't forget your melee weaponary as well people...severing the head or spinal cord will kill these mother fuckers as well.'' ''Your mission stays the same....find President Micah's daughter Maria...gather whatever intel you can about the situation as well as regarding to New Berlin, these creatures have only shown up recently...and I want an explanatino, also...rescue as many civilians as you can...I repeat, it will be daylight when you arrive, so you got a head start. And lastly...kill every monster you lay eyes upon...including the head Werewolf and Vampire. Good luck people...Commander Red out...*click click*'' OCC: Alright guys and gals...wasn't gonna bring in the Werewolves till later but :smirk: ...you asked for im :D ...you got im:) Sorry if that skipped people and their posts...please get to this point as soon as possible. Then we all will land right outside the walls of London. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kairi Posted February 1, 2005 Author Share Posted February 1, 2005 *Yawn...* ''I hate it when this happens...'' It had been the first time in a long while since M had felt others dreams while he slept. Lee, Ivy, and Farel all had woken him up countless times during the night with their nightmares... [I]Or was I the one causing those dreams...[/I] M had been living alone in that area of the base for 2 months without disturbances. As a child he would loss control of himself when he lived with his dad...either he would feel his fathers emotions, or his father would feel his. ''Maybe because I'm not used to them thats all.'' BANG BANG BANG!!! During the night...M had walked to the shooting range, round after round; clip after clip going into a couple of stone statues, being filtered in and out after each session. M either preferred to play pool on his own...or to come here and shoot when he was tensed up, trying to relax himself. There was a sense of comfort and control, pressing against the trigger of a weapon. His weapon of choice tonight was a 9mm automatic pistol...severing the empty clip, M replaced the pistol with a new clip...cocked it...and began to shoot again. BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG! He had been going at it for hours...not noticing how early in the morning it had become. ''I should probably head back and get a couple of hours of sleep before everyone else gets up...but...first thing is first.'' It was a daily reutine of his to check the status of his artificial parts. ''System Check...'' After locking the door, M sat on one of the benches in the men's changing room. A red screen appeared in front of M's left eye as a system check was being administered to the rest of his body. >>>Optical Sight at 120% >>>Lung Afficiancy at 120% >>>Left Arm Sensations...Clear >>>Left Arm Artificial Features...Clear. >>>Left Arm Mobility...Please evaluate manually. ''Damn it...not again.'' M hated when this happened...pressing up against the artificial vein on his left forearm, he severed his arm from his shoulder and placed it on his lap...as his eye did a integrity scan of the entire arm. ''There we go...just a glitch in the wrist motor functions thats all.'' Sliding the skin away from his wrist...M reached into his pocket and retrieved miniture mechanical tool which looked like a pen and fixed the problem. Putting his arm back on...the did another system check coming back perfectly clear. [I]It's so amazing how far human technology has come. After the accident, Dad's superiors were able to give me a completely new lung, arm and eye. With every sensation, look, even feel as a normal human feature...quite incredible really...state of the art. [/I] M went quiet for a moment...thinking back to the accident. [I]Mom...[/I] He missed home...but most of all...M missed his mom after what happened all those years ago. Without even realizing it...M thrust his left fist into the floor, leaving a huge dent in the floor. ''OOpppss....I guess I got carried away there.'' After taking a quick hot shower...M unlocked the door and walked out whistling to himself as he walked down the hallway. He walked into the lounge area to the sensation of a wonderful breakfast smell, he didn't expect everyone to be up so early....but he didn't care...the smell was sublime. M was so happy to see so many people in the lounge for a change...it brought a nice smile too his face. ''So...who made breakfast?'' Everyone turned to see M walking through the door as he kept drying his purple hair with a towel. ''Where have you been M?'' asked Lee, greeting him as he walked through the door. ''Around...couldn't sleep...'' ''Neither could I man...neither could I. Come on...lets eat, Ivy is quite the cook.'' ''Oh stop Lee...I'm not that good.'' replied Ivy, turning with a pan in her hand...scrambling some eggs. ''Hi...I'm Ivy...and you must be M.'' ''That I am...'' as M took a seat at the counter with Lee and Carl at his sides. ''Nice too meet you.'' ''Likewise.'' ''So what will it be?'' asked Andy...going in back of the counter with Ivy to help her make breakfast for everyone. ''I take it your M.'' ''That I am...nice too meet you as well Andy. Um...if its alright...can I get some of those scrambled eggs with cheese...and some toast?'' ''No problem...coming right up.'' Andy and Ivy both went to work and brought M his food with ease. ''thank you very much...'' and M immidiately began to eat... [I]This is amazing...[/I] Halfway through...while everyone was talking. Pushing away the plate for a moment, he leaned back and took in the warmth he felt from the food being digested in his belly ...he loved that feeling. Before he knew it...there was a sudden *doink* on the counter, M's head hitting the table top as he passed out in exhaustion. He woke up suddenly from the pain that shot through his head...as everyone around him laughed at him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redemption Posted February 1, 2005 Share Posted February 1, 2005 [COLOR=DarkRed][FONT=Trebuchet MS]OOC: Ok, can everyone get my character right? She's reserved and doesn't talk much. This post will explain a lot about my character. Andy didn't like playing servant but it was for the benefit of the rest of the group. It wasn't like her to be so nice and cheerful, but she put on the act for the others. Everyone conceived her as being a nice girl, but really, she wasn't. Not when she had commited all those sins against God. M was a quite intriguing fellow. Her blue flame had folllowed him around, sharing all his little secrets with her. Andy looked over at the man as she brought over his eggs. She put them down gently and walked away. " Thank you Andy," he said. Andy put on a fake smile and walked back to her own room. How she hated being with others. She liked working alone. She didn't need help nor backup for any of the missions. The only ones she liked so far were Farel and Ivy. Farel because he was much like herself, and Ivy because she was the only one she could talk to. Lee was a bit too much for Andy to handle, and M, well, she knew most of his little secrets about his arm. Andy entered her room silently. The notice about her training session with Farel was still pinned to her door. A flame appeared in her eyes and the notice burst into flame. It dropped to the ground smouldering. A knock suddenly echoed through her room. Andy stamped out the notice and opened the door. M's face appeared. " I smelt smoke. Is something burning?" he asked rather seriously. Andy glared at him. " If I may say so, it is none of your concern M," she said as she pushed past him and out of their living quarters. The waiting infuriated her. She walked towards the training, finding it after asking directions. Twirling her Sais in each hand, Andy impatiently waited for their training sessions to begin. Two balls of flame bobbed around her as she waited, twirling her Sais expertly.[/COLOR][/FONT] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kairi Posted February 1, 2005 Author Share Posted February 1, 2005 OCC: *shakes head*:)sorry bout that Andy...i'm starting to see that a lot of the characters are loners *lowers head* ah well...I guess we'll just play it from there. He wanted so badly to read her...but decided it wasn't the best thing to do. As tempting as it was to do it to everyone on occastion...it wasn't fair for him too. Apparently Andy had some issues...so did many of the others... [I]She seemed nice at first...apparently she was hiding her true face, a pitty.[/I] M figured it wasn't any of his business anyway, just, he did't want anything going wrong with the team when it came down to their missions. This was a team effort...if they wanted to act alone...they should have stayed out there on their own. [I]I feel upset...[/I] From how he was treated by Andy just now...and yesturday's encounter with Taikaru...thinking he would just read her mind whenever he felt like it. [I]This is gonna be an interesting couple of weeks I think...[/I] ''I wonder if there's something I can do for everyone that'll make them happy...what is it that everyone wants?'' ''Who are you talking too M?'' asked Lee...M didn't notice how close he was to him. ''Sorry...talking to myself *giving a smile*...I'll be right back ok...I have an idea.'' Saying goodbye quickly to Lee...M ran off down the corridor as fast as he could...till he found his way to Commander Red's Office. M burst through the door...trying to catch his breathe and the Commander stood up from his chair. ''What is it M...why did you run all the way here to see me?'' ''I have a favor to ask sir.'' For about an hour...M gave a status report on all the new recruits of Project: Heaven. Everyone seemed to be getting along, people were making bonds here and there...Andy, Ivy, Carl and Taikaru seemed to be more of the loner types...Red was a little discouraged about the thought. ''I don't want any loose cannons out there M...if one of these guys slips up, or even motions towards disobeying the mission; I'm cutting it lose. I will not have division...'' ''I understand Red...but I think they all are a little restless. I mean...yea it may be a precaution to have them read their reports and whatnot, as well as these training sessions. But if we trust them a little bit more...they might come into their own out there on the battle field.'' ''Are you sure M?'' ''I take full responsibility if I'm wrong Red...there's no need to keep them all waiting, and not being shown whats really going on. Some of them have experiance already...we should give them credit for that at least.'' ''And what about team work...if these four you speek of go out on there own and abandon someone...the board will have my head.'' ''No ones perfect Commander *M winking at him...a slight smirk came over Red's face*'' ''I know that M...you of all people know that. You know our code...no one gets left behind. I don't want any trouble...especially with them not being fully trained and informed.'' ''Maybe they'll warm up...who knows. Like i said...they may think they're the best...but we're all in this. We all need each other.'' Commander Red turned his chair away from M and leaned back in his chair; deep in thought. After a few moments...he turned back around and pressed a button on the load speaker. ***ATTENTION ANGEL TEAM...I HAVE BEEN INFORMED BY A TEAMATE OF YOURS THAT YOU WANT SOME ACTION. THAT WE AREN'T RESPECTING YOU ENOUGH FOR YOUR ABILITIES... ***WELL...YOU GOT IT...PREPARE YOURSELF TO BE ON THE SURFACE IN ONE HOUR, MAKE SURE YOU HAVE SILVER AMMUNITION WITH YOU...YOU'RE HEADING TO LONDON. YOU WILL BE BRIEFED ON THE SHIP AS SOON AS YOU ARE AIRBORN. HAPPY HUNTING PEOPLE! ***click ''Here...take this...'' Red pulled out an envelope from his desk drawer and threw it at M's chest. As M opened it and began to read the report...'' ''President Micah and his political team were attacked last night while you all were sleeping. Pictures from the Embassy indicate that some form of vampires are responsible for the attack.'' M took a look at the pictures taken from the struggle...corpses all over the place with flesh ripped apart at the necks. ''And what of the President?'' ''Thank God he escaped in an escape pod...he is currently on route to the New Avalon colony where our government will be established for the time being.'' ''With President Micah out of London...we don't know how long it will take before Earth goes into chaos without the President.'' ''Understood Commander...'' ''I will be sending with you 10 additional soldiers for aid. You and the rest of the Angel Team have four objectives...'' ''First...The Presidents daughter is somewhere in that city. Bio signs show that she is still alive...it is imparative that you return her to Micah'' ''Second...evacuate as many civilians as you can. There will be two carrier ships waiting for you in Scotland till you give us the word to pick you up. The vampires took a good portion of the city before nightfall...since you all will be arriving during the daytime. You'll have a head start on them...there are lot of them M...and I mean a lot...be careful.'' ''Third...this is the first sighting of vampires ever since the attack on New Berlin. Why they've shown up all of a sudden, we don't know. What we do know is that they all must have come from a point of origin...a source. I want you all too kill it...by any means necessary. We can't allow these things to get across land. Since the attack on New Berlin, we have been reading up on the ancient text of vampires...preparing you all with highly concentrated silver bullets. I'm happy that we were right in making this assumption. You all know the legends of these monsters...us it to your advantage.'' ''Fourth...as always, learn as much as you can about what might have caused this peral that has come upon us at...especially the event at New Berlin. Take care M...and God speed.'' ''Don't worry Commander'' as the two men shook hands...''I have faith in my team. We may be different...and have our issues. But this is only the beginning...'' ''Very well then...good luck.'' ''thank you sir...'' M ran out the door giving Red a quick thumbs up. Running to the Delta Wing...M headed towards his little hiding place. Coming to the counsole at the end of the hallway...he pressed in his password to the 6 digit encorder...keyed his eye in for a retnal scan...and opened the compartment. Inside lay his 8 round shotgun...his favorite 9mm automatic pistol, a chain gun...and of course...the most precious item. A retractable spear that looked like a little peg stick. But extended...it was 7 foot long with a blade at the end. ''Excellent.'' Changing the ammunition over too silver bullets for all his weaponary...M clipped the shotgun to his side...and the peg into his pocket...M put the chain gun in a backback...lunging it onto his back, as well as a ammunition belt around his waist. Before he ran out the Delta Wing, in his black muscle shirt and boots with brown pants a...he headed towards the HellKnights holding cell. Position himself where it could see him...he pointed the pistol at it...and pretended that he shot at it..with a serious glare in his eye. OCC: There you all go:)...I'm sure you were getting bored. You were probably worried that you had to wait four days:)...sorry if that is the case. Head to the surface...and get your weaponary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiba_the_Chosen Posted February 1, 2005 Share Posted February 1, 2005 After a bit of training Taikaru herd another sound other than her footsteps. ?Computer end training program save level 9-2.? She jumped up to a higher level just as the doors opened and the one named Andy walked in. She was wielding what Taikaru recognized as the Seis. This three pronged weapon was only mastered through skill. Watching as the blades were being wielded through the balls of fire around her she was able to complete the first 25 levels of skill with ease. The Seis was being wound and used in supreme mastery. Even though floating Taikaru was still in plain sight. The computer room was right next to her so she thought she would stop in. The room had clear glass windows and a desk with a connected system to it. ?I am what will be called a leader. The people around me are not what keep me alive. They are what keep behind. They have no idea that I am the loner.? Andy muttered to herself while she was training. The levels of the computer kept increasing yet Andy didn?t have a single flaw. After the training was over and Andy was getting ready to go Taikaru decided to use some of her gift. She went into a dark part of the room and suddenly disappeared. She then reappeared right at the shadowy corner outside the door of the training room. Andy stepped out and looked worn. She still looked like she had a lot more fight in her though. She was walking down the hall as she went straight through the crossing of hallways. ?Hey you?re Andy right?? ?Yes and who wants to know. I am tired of dealing with you people.? Andy didn?t turn around yet stayed in the position that she walked in. ?The name, if you would call it that, is Taikaru. I just want to say?? ?I know what you want. You want to say that we are on a team and you want to work together. Well I don?t buy going on teams.? ?It isn?t that,? Taikaru said in a mad gesture, ?It is the fact that you aren?t the only one that wants to work alone. Nor do you want anyone to know about your past.? ?How would you know all this.? Andy turned. Yet, the figure that was talking to her vanished. -Mess hall Farel was sitting in the corner when Taikaru appeared. He almost lost his breakfast when she appeared. ?Why Taikaru I am glad to see you made it.? ?Yes I can tell you that you don?t want to be in a bad position when fighting these paranormal creatures. That also reminds me to ask you. Did you all read your reports yet?? ?Well you see tha?? Cut off ?Fine we?ll deal with it later. I just need something to eat.? ?Well Ivy is one good cook for that matter. I think you should get something before it is gone.? ?It is already gone and I brought my own meals.? ?What meals? I don?t see any.? ?Don?t forget how much the technology increased in this age of man. My meals are compact into a tiny tablet. When dissolved it will give me as much energy as a regular meal does. After all I really don?t like to not taste things.? ?Not taste things?? ?I?ll explain later.? Taikaru went to sit down on any available table. ?Wait before you mingle yourself with the rest I want to ask something of you.? Farel glanced at her. ?I hope that you will give me a good question because I really don?t like to be delayed.? ?Oh right well you have seen all of us and our powers, except for Carl. What is your gift that was given?? ?It is still complicated to comprehend in words and I still haven?t mastered it. The first discovery of this power was fear. My gift awoken a little early and put me in a coma. That is it for now.? Taikaru walked away to the tables and popped out a round ball that looked like some kind of medicine. *No one will find out about my past. It is in the past there for I won?t bother about it.* Taikaru thought in a quite dream to herself. Breaking her concentration, Taikaru noticed that the doors opened quietly. It was Andy again. She got some food and went out. ?Not much of a friendly visit.? Carl said when going by Taikaru. ?Oh hello there. The name is Carl I am glad to meet you.? ?Hi. Did you happen to see Andy walk out on us so fast?? ?Yes that I did see. What I never did see is someone as depressed looking as you.? ?Oh I do look like that. I have been taught to keep in my emotions but lately they have been seeping through.? ?Well you got to do some training. Wednesday is not that far away.? ?Right nice meeting you Carl.? ?Nice meeting you.? With that Carl walked away. *I know how these emotions are getting through. I just don?t know why. This M character I met somehow accidentally woke my memories. I know he doesn?t mean to. I know that he will ask permission first. I just don?t know. I just hope fear will stay inside. My emotions though are still destroyed inside me. I still don?t remember how it feels to feel. To have fear, laugh, love, anger, surprise, and all the others. I don?t know if I can return them.* She got up and went to the living quarters. She went into her bed and got out the video phone. She called up the one who knew what was going on and if he didn?t no one did. *ring ring* ?Hello?? ?Mr. Netashima?? ?Oh hello Taikaru. What is it that you need?? ?Well I just need you to send me capsule #77.? ?That capsule is strictly limited to emergency use. I will only get it to you if you find out what is the problem causer and consult with it if you can. I will see you when this is done.? ?Right Mr. Netashima. Good bye.? ?Good bye Taikaru.? *Well that plan failed. I wonder where he could be.* Taikaru thought to herself. She went out into the lounge to sit. The couch there was comfortable. She sat on it waiting for people to enter. The first one was Farel. ?Well I thought no one would be here. With people going to train and all I thought no one would be in here.? ?So everyone is training. Well I will be off then. I will see you tonight. I will be back thirty minutes after everyone else comes. If not then you can suspect that I am either late or in trouble.? ?Huh. Well you be off then.? Taikaru went through the sliding metal door. Taikaru went into the upper level of the training rooms. She was in the computer rooms where the levels of things were controlled. She found no one in the training room she and Andy went into. She wandered the corridors wondering where they went. After wondering a bit she wanted to go back. She turned and she felt a presence. The lights dimmed. The hall turned pitch black. The feel of the fearful energy surged through her. The energy she felt jumped left to right across the walls. She pulled out her blades and a scream let out. It sounded like a scream of a siren. The lights turned back on and a turtle like creature with a moss green skin and fangs with a shade of red appeared. The face was slashed and the cut would heal eventually. ?Tu-san. Levitation.? The monster was levitated and she dragged it to the delta wing. ?Halt. Clarification please.? ?Is this clarification enough.? She showed him the bronze star. ?Sorry but you need to have silver.? ?Well what about this.? Around the corner came the levitated creature. The guards gasped and got out what looked like a stretcher. The creature was transported through the door on the stretcher and the creature was gone. Her blades were traced in a light black fluid. She cleaned it off and headed back to the lounge. ?So I see you were true to your word. Thirty minutes since they arrived. They are all resting in their quarters. I will retire too. She went into her bedroom and went to sleep. OOC: The light blacked out when the announcment went on so I didn't hear it but Farel will tell me.

Blayze Posted February 1, 2005 Share Posted February 1, 2005 Lee slid the silver nitrate-coated bullets into the chamber, and slammed the clip in. He cocked the gun, so it was ready to use straight away, and did the same with the other gun. He slid his sword into the sheath on his back, and made sure it was easily accessible, which it was. "Oh yeah!" he said, "Finally we get to see some action. I've been waiting to see you guys work since I got here!" "Well, now's your chance, Lee," said M, loading his weapons up, "These vampires are going to be dangerous, and we haven't had a chance to train properly yet. But you've all been doing this sort of thing since New Berlin, so I'm sure you can handle it." "I sure as hell can handle it," said Lee, picking up a combat knife from the weapons closet and sliding it into his boot. "I hope we all can..." (OOC: Sorry it's kinda short but I've got to go quite soon so I don't really have enough time to make a proper post) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akieen Cloud Posted February 1, 2005 Share Posted February 1, 2005 Ivy got ready and headed to the surface of the building where she found M. He didn't reconize her with her coat and hat on. "I try not to draw attention to my self. Look M. I know that I seem like the type that is a loner. I am not. I must get used to this. Being around people like myself. I will wait here with you till they arrive." She sat down on the ground and crossed her legs, her knees sticking out of the corners of her coat and tilited her hat down over her eyes. "Where are we going and what are we against M?" "London. Vampires." She looked at his ammunition and frowned. "Your ammunition is mostly silver......this kills them as well." She pulled out a pack of what looked like talismens and handed two to him, the paper was abnormally warm and soft. "Sun paper...The Dead Pirates, a genius there came up with it. You place it on any part of a Vampire and poof, dust. Here take some of these as well." She handed him rounds for his shotgun that seemed to glow white. "High voltage bullets give off enough power that it burns whatever it hit to ash. I hunt with these mostly if I feel overly threatened..." "Where do you get you ammunition?" "There is a section that hunts these creatures in Berline that I found as I walked the streets... they are geniuses and they make weapons for a living and send them to hunters for free just to destroy the beasts...I think we should tell Red when we return." M nodded and looked back at the building. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meggido Posted February 1, 2005 Share Posted February 1, 2005 Farel looked up from his plate as the message for the mission came over the loudspeaker. [I]About time we got some action,[/I] he thought. It would at least take his mind off her and and that event. He needed the excitment too. It had been a while since he had used his weaponry but he was hoping that he was still as good as when he had been part of the secret service. So he hadn't read all the reports. He had read all the important reports. Those which related to the types of creatures. He made his way to the weaponry to get some silver bullets for his AK-47. His daggers were already the most pure silver you could find so that was easy to deal with. He thought it was weird that he was getting silver. Vampires were only immune to silver, if he remembered rightly, but warewolves on the other hand would fall as soon as they were hit. As he inserted the bullets into his clip and his spare clips he remembered that he should look for a rocket launcher. He was going to but remembered that he was alone in the armoury and it began to make him nervous. He decided to forget the rocket launcher for now and headed back towards the bedrooms. As he passed Taikaru's room he noticed that the door was closed and the lights out. [I]Don't tell me she's gone to sleep,[/I] was the first thing that went through his mind. He decided to be safe and knocked on the door. There was no answer so he knocked a little louder. He heard someone getting up and shortly after the door opened. "What is it?" Taikaru snapped. "Ah, we have a mission in London in less than an hour and I thought that you should know," He responded. "Bring silver bullets, supposedly we're facing vampires." OOC: Ok Taikaru why did I have to wake you up? It could have been anyone? Anyway it strange that my character's personality as gone from shy and quiet in my description to the most talkative person in the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
