RPG SYF: Special Youth Force: Garrotted Threats...

[Raiha]

[COLOR=royalblue][i]The female smaked her fist on the button and the doors clanged shut. Jaudiar turned to Liam, a dangerous smile on his face.[/i]

Jaudiar: You like Jenna then?

Liam: No, it was just a ploy.

Jaudiar: I'll give you ten seconds to redeem yourself.

[i]His blank expression was almost to much...and Jaudiar smiled. He looked at his feet, then back at her...then once more at his feet. She grinned and looked up at him. He bent down and kissed her cheek. Jaudiar blushed and grinned.[/i]

Jaudiar: Forgiven.[/COLOR]

[liamc2]

Liam grinned, ?you sure about that? I mean, you might not have another chance to hold something like this over my head again.?
The elevator made another dinging sound as they hit the lobby.
Liam folded his arms and leant against the side of the elevator.

The doors opened and a couple of officials entered. One of which was the Commander. Liam groaned. The Commander stood between Jaudiar and Liam and waited for the couple of secretaries in front of them to leave.

The Commander nodded to Liam when the doors opened again. They were at the level his office was on, one floor below the dormitories of the SYF.

Liam sighed and exited, giving a jovial wave to Jaudiar as the doors closed behind them. The Commander steered Liam into his office and ordered him to sit.

?Liam,? he said, ?you should not have mentioned those papers to Adam. He?s been sniffing around all week to find out what they are. You?ve meddled for the last time. Your pay for the next three years has been docked.?

Liam snorted on the inside, [I]three years? Pfft, as it is, including my parents will?I have enough cash to go through a bachelor of science degree eleven thousand nine hundred and four times?bah?he must be doing this to save face with his commanders?[/I]

?If you say so sir.? Replied Liam.

The Commander?s eyes narrowed.

?Liam. I want no more mention of those papers. If word gets out about them, the entire agency will run riot.?

Liam snorted, ?it?s not surprising is it? I mean, why wouldn?t people run riot if they knew their officials had death warrants handy in case the SYF team fail. I must admit I got quite a surprise when I found myself doomed to die if I continued disobeying orders.?

The Commander?s face purpled, ?the entire SYF team is [I]not[/I] listed Liam it's-

-just me? I feel flattered sir. But run over by a Toyota Landcruiser? How unoriginal, and easily explainable?here?s me thinking I?d die in action??

The Commander said nothing and just pointed at the door for Liam to leave through. Liam left grudgingly, this conversation will be finished?albeit at another time. As he closed the door behind him, he was greeted by Jaudiar.

?Oh so you heard it all did you?? Liam said brightly.

?Only muffled voices, you have no idea how hard it is to listen through solid oak without the right equipment??

Liam rapped a knuckle on the door, it rang hollow.

[Raquel]

Siren entered the hallway...

Siren: So sorry to disturb the touching moment... But I'm sure Jaudiar will beat it out of me.... It's seven o'clock dearie... Time to get crackin... I was bored witless for a while... Although... I did have fun imagining what you two were up to al alone in that elevator!

She turned and ran, not bothering to look back... She was gonna get it... But it was so worth the red tint to Liams cheeks... She giggled childishly and spirnted down the steps, emerging in gym... Adam steped forward and caught her arm... She stepped back...

Siren: Never touch me again....

Adam rolled his eyes...

Adam: Do you know about the papers?

Siren blinked, feigning innocence flawlessly...

Siren: Papers? Which ones? Mine? There in my room... But I thought you wern't intrested in my verbal artwork...

Adam: Eh... Nevermind...

He turned and stalked through the doors muttering somthing that sounded like "Airhead". Siren removed her boot and threw it at his receding head... She was rewarded with a cry of pain followed by numerous cursed and the return of her shoe, via air mail....

[Raiha]

[COLOR=royalblue][i]She was hit from the back with the blunt handle of Jaudiar's slingblade, then booted head over heels with a swift right kick.[/i]

Jaudiar: Training starts now!

Liam: ...chick fight.

Jaudiar: This isn't a menagé twa. Shut up.

Siren: You'll pay for that.

[i]The older female simply went down into her double attack position and waited. Siren flipped forward, executing a quick one two kick and punch to the face. Jaudiar twisted her body around and neatly avoided the movements. She turned and caught both fists in her hands, and the two struggled for control...shoving back and forth....

Jaudiar ducked and fliped her over the head, then landed with her foot on Siren's chest.[/i][/COLOR]

[liamc2]

Liam chuckled, ?as much as I?d love to see you two train, I?m going to go enjoy the sights and sounds of civilisation.?

?Again? Didn?t you get your wallet stolen last time??

Jaudiar risked a glance to where Liam was standing, he had already left and made his way to the elevator.

Liam heard the sounds of training resume just as the doors closed. The elevator made it?s slow and steady descent.

~~~

Liam ambled along the many streets Sydney had to offer. For a world that felt on the brink of terror, there were an awful lot of tourists. Liam wandered through the bustling city centre. He sat at a small café and had started to feel more like his good self when a white Holden sedan pulled up alongside the open air café. Liam paid it no attention. Hundreds of cars had gone past here already.

A large shadow fell across his small metal table. Liam glanced up into the face of a well-dressed man in his early twenties. A well dressed [I]Colombian[/I] man.

?Excuse me,? the man said-

[I]-?odd?his face reminds me of Pizaro[/I] Liam thought

The man continued, ?are you by any chance Liam??

Liam raised an eyebrow, ?nah mate,? he said in a heavy ?Australian? accent, ?Andrew. ?

The man raised his eyebrow fractionally, ?oh I think not [I]Mister[/I] Liam. Pitiful ruses such as those will not fool us??
Liam grinned, ?mate, is this like, you know, one of those candid camera shows? So where?s the camera??

The man chuckled and ran a finger along his toothbrush moustache. Two hands were placed on Liam?s shoulders. He looked up and found two burly looking men looking down at him.

A glance at the car told him that a very bulky and expensive looking camera was poking out. A wiry man walked over carrying sound recording equipment.

Very clever?

The well dressed man smiled at Liam and sat down,

?Liam. Drop the ruse. You know very well that no one will interfere with us now. You are going to talk and tell me where you have my father and sister held.?

[I]Father? Oh great, thankyou very much ASIO, you?re doing a brilliant job in keeping an eye out for me?[/I]

Liam leant forward on the table,

?Look I have no idea what you are talking about. First of all I don?t even know you, second of all, did you know you have a red birthmark??

The well-dressed man raised an eyebrow; the two men holding
Liam to his seat flinched. A small red dot had itself nice and comfortable on the centre of his face, and then it moved slowly down, across his heart, along the table, through Liam?s order and stopped on Liam?s own chest.

The well-dressed man chuckled, ?You see Liam, even your government abandons you! It saves me a lot of trouble.?

As the last words left his mouth, the well-dressed man?s goons slumped to the ground, bleeding badly from chest wounds.

Taking this as an opportunity for escape, Liam leapt to his feet and ran across the street, the well-dressed man was shouting something incoherent in another language, but Liam wasn?t paying attention. He had to run. The lobby security back at base had removed all of his weapons and identification as a means for his own protection, and to keep him out of trouble.

[I]Some protection?[/I]

Liam ran through a busy shopping mall, through the Myer's entrance, through the shop and out into the food court. Liam glanced around. To the front were the two escalators leading to the exit. Liam ran for it, sliding down the middle of the escalators and out into the main street.

Checking the road was clear, Liam ran for it, and then a Landcruiser came rushing out of nowhere?

?Oh?damn?.?

Except?the Landcruiser was in the other lane?it screeched to a halt in front of the startled public and the doors were thrown open. Inside were two men and a woman, they all flashed their ASIO badges and then pulled him inside.

Liam looked up at them, dazed, as the Landcruiser rushed along the main road.

?Liam,? the closest agent began, ?that man back there was Pizaro?s son. We believed he had fled to Switzerland, but when we arrived he had gone. You see, he is in charge of almost all of Pizaro?s weapons sales. He had gotten wind of what had happened at Pizaro?s mansion in Colombia and is now out to get you.?

Liam still looked very dazed. All he managed to say was,

?Huh??

The agent continued,

?Liam, he?s out to get his father and his sister back. Already he has gone to enormous lengths. He?s issued an international bounty on your head.?

Liam?s mouth opened and shut, ?but?but?but?I didn?t do all of that, hell, tell him to go blame [b]Ryan[/b] it was all bloody Ryan?s fault?Ryan allll the way??

Liam sagged in his seat, he was aware that the three agents gave furtive looks to one another.

Liam waved a hand for them to continue.

?Pizaro?s son, Nicholas, has already formed a grudge against you, you and your sister. He managed to brainwash your sister after capturing her on that mission??

Liam raised a hand, ?uh, what the hell did I do to him??
The agent chuckled,

?Remember those weapons manufacturing plants you and Jessie destroyed, and that money laundering plant??

?Vaguely??

?All of those were indirectly under Nicholas?s and Pizaro?s control.?

?Hurray for them.?

?You ended up destroying about ten billion dollars worth of terrorist assets.?

?Goody.?

?So that brings us to here, you capturing Pizaro and Jenna was the straw that broke the camel?s back as it were.?

?Very, very well put.?

[Raquel]

Siren launched herself at Jaudiar and ducked as her fist breezed over her head in a fast return swing... Siren flipped backwards and jogged back to the mats... She flopped down and removed her shoes and socks and her t shirt, leaving her in her sport bra and heavy cotton pants... Crouching lazily, Siren streatched, her eyes fixed on Jaudiar's muscles for the telltale twitch of an attack...

Siren: So... Gettin cozy with Liam?

She rolled easily out of reach as Jaudiar swiped at her... She stuck out her tounge and stood sinuiously...

Siren: Tch, tch... None of that lover girl...

She laughed and Jaudiar stood calmly...

Jaudiar: Shut up and put up

Siren: You? the fearsome female fighter? Going cliche? Bad sign...

[Raiha]

[COLOR=royalblue][i]Jaudiar hissed through her teeth and ripped off her shirt, leaving her in a bra and short shorts. She bent her legs slightly and shook her hair free. Siren chuckled and leapt out of the way, clearly unconcerned.

The two exchanged a few lightning fast blows, until both of them were bleeding freely. Using the back of her hand, Jaudiar wipped her mouth, then gave Siren the deadly evil eye.[/i]

Jaudiar: If I want Liam...I'll take him.

Siren: What do you really see in him?

Jaudiar: None. Of. Your. Buisness.

[i]The older girl punctuated each word with a vicious swing or kick....[/i][/COLOR]

[liamc2]

The 4WD pulled to a stop in front of the skyscraper. The agent driver pulled the handbrake and face Liam.

?Now Liam,? she said, ?stay in this building. We need all hands on deck in there if we want to keep Pizaro and Jenna in custody. They?ll be staying there until we apprehend Nicholas and his contacts.?

Liam didn?t respond. He opened his door, thanked them for their help and strode briskly towards the skyscraper.

The three agents in the Landcruiser sighed and drove off into the mainstream traffic.

In the skyscraper apartment complex opposite, Nicholas lowered his binoculars.

?We now know where they are? Jeorge,? he motioned to a big man beside him, ?remove these corpses, I believe we have found ourselves an apartment.?

Jeorge nodded and dragged the lifeless bodies of a man, woman and a small girl, a family of three, into the next room for disposal later.

Nicholas smiled, teeth showing. ?Call the team. We go in tonight. Is the bomb set??

Jeorge closed the door of the bedroom he had dumped the bodies. He placed a complex looking plastic explosive on the door and nodded, pressing both detonators to ?armed.?

?Excellent.? Muttered Nicholas. ?Jeorge, fetch me something to eat from their refrigerator, we have a six hour wait ahead of us.?

The big man nodded and left the room.

~~~~~

Liam left the elevator and collapsed on his bed. This was starting to get weird. He?d never left anyone alive long enough for them to start a bounty on his head. He massaged his head. He?d been taking this job way to seriously, every time he closed his eyes the only thing he dreamed about was how to complete mission, how to rebuild a rifle, how to avoid capture?

~~~~~~

The three ASIO agents drove into a secluded alley of Sydney. It already had numerous Federal Agents and other ASIO officers present. All were armed to the teeth.

?What?s the status?? one of them asked.

The agent in charge faced them,

?We got a lead on Nicholas, we traced his cronies to this building and we?re about to enter, we just needed the authority to do so sir.?

The trio of agents from the Landcruiser smiled. They had almost forgotten their rank, they were a trio of Commanding officers, the female was the SYF Commander in Chief, but preferred to forget it and do proper work.

The male Commander who had asked for the status looked up at the small rectangle of blue sky above them. Something was drumming on the back his mind. This was all to easy? He had only known this Nicholas for a very short time, but he knew that he was smart and something was definitely amiss.

Something above caught the light and a dozen men appeared around the rectangle of sky. The male commander barely had the chance to shout the warning before the dozen above let rip with high-powered silenced weapons.

On the rooftops around the twelve men, pigeons took off into the blue sky. The world around knew nothing, and continued it?s rapid pace.

One of the twelve figures plucked a letter from his belt and let it drop onto the carnage below. It fluttered down the nine stories, bouncing off walls before coming to rest on the sticky blood below. Unbeknownst to the men above, two of the commanding officers noticed it?s landing from beneath the Landcruiser that had sheltered them. The female agent gritted her teeth, tightening her grip on her custom made pistol.

?Lets get out of here.? Muttered the figure far above.

[Geist]

[I]Iitashi shot 5 holes into a paper target. It was carried away by a metal arm, and he reloaded while he waited for the next one to be put up...but it didn't come...[/I]

[COLOR=blue][B]Iitashi:[/B] "What's going on here? Is this thing broken?"[/COLOR]

[I]Then, Adam walked into the room.[/I]

[COLOR=red][B]Adam:[/B] "No, it's not broken. We're on alert, Iitashi, so the shooting range is going to be closed down right now. Nicholas, Pizaro's son, is trying to get his father and sister back. Everyone needs to be at full alert to make sure that that doesn't hapen. And Iitashi..."[/COLOR]

[COLOR=blue][B]Iitashi:[/B] "Yes?"[/COLOR]

[COLOR=red][B]Adam:[/B] "Never mind. I forgot that you just joined, you wouldn't know."[/COLOR]

[I]Adam walked out of the room, leaving Iitashi at the shooting range.[/I]

[COLOR=blue][B]Iitashi:[/B] "What was that all about?"[/COLOR]


OOC: Sorry about the lame filler post, I'm just trying to get back into the story.

[Lady Asphyxia]

[color=darkred]Rae decided that for once she wanted to act like a normal teenager. A normal teenager [i]without[/i] a headset talking into her ear. Entering her passcode, Rae wrote a note to the girls in their communications notepad. [i]Gone. Being normal. No head set. Have phone. 0472956493. Emergencies only. ~Jenna ^.^[/i]

Smiling at the Jenna part - it'd become a big joke between them - Rae pulled on her jeans and a red shirt, plaited her hair and pulled on her shoes. Two minutes later, she was running out the fire exit, glad to finally get out of the skyscraper.

~~~

The streets were bustling with people, each set in their own different task. Feeling a tad awkward, Rae made her way through the crowd, stopping at a cafe for something to eat. A group of 20 year olds passed her, one looking remarkably like Matt. Rae smiled sadly. She still missed her brother, and despite everything else, would still have given up her life for his. He'd always been a better agent. Less emotionally involved in everything. If he was ordered to "get out" in a mission, he knew it meant "everyman for himself", and had abided by it. Rae could never do that. All her team had to be there, or none would be allowed to get out. That was one of her biggest weaknesses.

The guy looked back, glancing at something behind her. Rae froze. It [i]was[/i] Matt. His eyes scanned past her, then slowly did a double take. He said something to his friends, then walked over to her.

Rae could feel herself paling. [i]He was dead[/i]. Matt stopped in front of her. "Hey, Ariana."

Rae choked back her moments of panic, and smiled. "It's Rae now. To many people knew Ariana."

He nodded. "So...what are you doing now? What school do you go to?"

"None at the moment. I'm in the Special Youth Force. We're on a series of missions."

He gave her a careful look, in the "I'm-about-to-interrogate-you-but-I-don't-want-you-to-know-it" way Liam sometimes had. "Who's your senior?"

"Adam." She flashed a smile at Matt, proud of Adam's promotions.

Matt's face creased into concern, and he looked back at the group of people who were waiting for him. "Look, Rae, I have to go, but...watch out, okay? Be careful, and don't trust anyone."

She laughed. "X-files?"

"I'm serious Rae. No one. At all. Promise me you'll be careful. Promise me."

She sighed, knowing she'd lose this fight. "I promise." Matt nodded and ran back to his friends, watching them grin and shove him around. She shook her head sadly. There was no hope for the male sex. But what did he mean [i]be careful[/i]? She was always careful. She was trained to be. Rae payed her bill, and started walking home, to busy thinking to notice the surveillance around the skyscraper.[/color]

[liamc2]

Nicholas peered through his binoculars at the girl ambling up to the SYF building.

?Jenna?? he muttered, ?no?couldn?t be...but...it must...?

Jeorge handed the Colombian a glass of iced water.

Nicholas looked up and took it.

?How much time do we have left Jeorge?? He asked.

Jeorge looked at the bomb,

?Three hours sir.?

Nicholas took a long draught from the glass in his hand. It was town water, and apartment water no less. The screwed up his face at the taste of the metal and earth. He placed the glass on the arm of his chair and looked up at the silent Jeorge.

?Jeorge. Turn the bomb ahead two hours. We get ready to move out in an hour.?

Nicholas glanced at the late afternoon early evening sky. They would lose some of their advantage of the night, but this waiting was killing him.

Jeorge left his side and adjusted the bomb.

It began counting down.

?00 59 99.?

~~~~~~~~~~

Liam rolled out of his bed. All this ?high alert? was getting to be a bore. He holstered his Desert Eagle and MS1 accordingly and made his way to the elevator. As the doors opened, the sounds of a fierce fight were still coming from the training hall. Liam chuckled. Three hours and they were still going at it. Liam selected the appropriate basement and made his way down.

The doors dinged open again and Liam passed through into the white room. The white wall on the side in front opened and Liam was greeted with a sentry cannon emplacement and seven assorted guards. They were all carrying riot shields and wearing seamless bulletproof armour. Liam saluted and made his way down to the circle room.

If Nicholas wanted a piece of this, he?d have to come and take some.

[Lady Asphyxia]

[color=darkred]Rae flopped down on her bed, still thinking about Matt. Jaudiar and Siren - having finished their training session - came in, and sat in the lounge chairs. They waited for a second, and when no cheery greeting befriended them, they walked over to Rae.

"What's up?"

Rae didn't look at Siren. "Probably sky and clouds. And rubble, too. This God person people always talk about seems pretty untidy."

Jaudiar smiled and sat down again. "I think they prefer to call it creative genius."

Rae shrugged and rolled off the bed. She pulled on some shoes from where she'd left them when she returned. "D'you think I should go get more out of Pizaro?"

Siren shook her head. "Nope. The poor guy's practically died from grief over what you did to him at his house."

Jaudiar started doing stretches on the floor, making sure that she was in the correct positions. "He's healed. Still think's our Jenna's been brainwashed, though. And, of course, he's worried about what Liam is going to do to her."

Rae grinned, realising she'd unconsciously been trying to imitate the easier stretches. "What did he do?"

"Threaten to take you."

She snorted. "Like he could. Hey, could you teach me some of those."

"Sure. Siren?"

Siren shrugged and leant back against the wall. "I think I'll go get drinks for us first. You thirsty?"

"Coke." Came Jaudiar's reply. It was slightly muffled - her face seemed to be stuck to her back.

"Apple juice, please."

"Got it." She left the room quietly.

Jaudiar moved into an easy position, where one leg was out striaght and the other was tucked behind you, then showed Rae how to get the right movement for it. Siren came back a few minutes later, and handed out the drinks.

Rae sat back down on the bed, groaning. "How can you do those?"

"By practising. And my family is naturally limber."

Siren snorted. [size=1]"Good for Liam..."[/size] she mumbled.

Rae grinned as Jaudiar raised an eyebrow. "I did hear that, you know..."[/color]

[Raiha]

[COLOR=royalblue][i]She smiled wickedly, and spun her knife between her fingers. Rae held up her hands, surrenduring quickly. The oldest girl smiled and chugged her Coke in less than 10 seconds.[/i]

Jaudiar: You're very lucky I like you. Otherwise I'd be booting your guts through your backbone.

[i]Rae automatically put the bed between them and grinned....blinking huge puppy eyes at her.[/i]

Rae: Aren't I adorable?

Siren: *snort* Yeah,.....just like a fish.

[i]The pillow came carrening out of control into her face before it could be dodged. The three of them roared at the same time.[/i]

All: [size=4]PILLOW FIGHT!!!!![/size][/COLOR]

[Raquel]

Siren: MUHAHAHAHAHA!!!

She whips a pillow at Rae and doges the one thrown at her by Jaudiar...

Siren: Neh!!! My favorite past time...

She throws herself at Jaudiar and begins attempting to beat her with a pillow... It rips and feathers fly... Siren collapes and begins to giggle helplessly... What she'd give to see the look on adams face if he walked into the the feathery warzone... A feather gets into her mouth and she sputters wildly...

Siren: Help!! *cough* Murder!! *sputter* Death by tickling!!

Rae and Jaudiar attack her prone form and she laughs, inhaling even more feathers

[Lady Asphyxia]

[color=darkred][b]15-30 Minutes Later[/b] Rae walked over to the door, dodging pillows as she went. Someone had just knocked. Pulling open the door, she saw a female agent. "Heya." Another pilled slammed into Rae's back, and she turned around, glaring at Siren. Siren grinned and ducked the pillow that was sent back at her.

The agent sat down and watched them make their few last vengance shots. "The whole building is on alert. Can't leave it. Figured I'd tell you if you didn't know. You SYF agents seem to be pretty enclosed and out of the loop, you know."

The woman walked out the door, not even saying goodbye.

"What the...?"

"Iono."

[/color]

[liamc2]

Liam was sitting against the wall with his head resting on his chest. He?d been down here for nigh on an hour, pangs of boredom hadn?t started to plague him yet. By skilfully recreating images of pistols and other firearms in his mind, he had spent the last fifty minutes pulling them to pieces and cleaning them.

Liam sighed. The sound reverberated in the deathly quiet room. Gradually the low hum of the sentry cannon permeated his breath. Liam raised his head, eyes boring a whole in the white concrete ceiling above.

~~~

Nicholas landed softly on the rooftop of the SYF skyscraper. Twenty well equipped veteran mercenaries had already gathered behind him.
The man Jeorge cut the steel cable they had used to access the roof.
It fell away into the fading daylight. Jeorge resumed is position beside Nicholas.

The twenty-two people standing on the roof faced the apartment complex.

Nicholas checked his watch.

?Three?two?one??

The last number uttered was drowned out by a deafening explosion. Glass from the apartment showered the streets below, fire erupted from the gaping hole. Nicholas smiled indulgently. That should be enough of a distraction.

A couple of the mercenaries ripped a vent open. Another ran forward an pelted a grenade down the open shaft. An explosion rocked the building but the sound was still deadened by the roaring of the ferocious blaze.

Nicholas smiled smugly.

All too easy.

The mercenaries leapt down the shaft, swiftly followed by Nicholas and his man Jeorge. By the time Nicholas had landed all of the stunned residents of this level were dead. They had not, however, died in vain. One had managed to hit the alarm.

Nicholas chuckled. The cameras had been disabled and the fire alarms had been set off. There was no way up here other than though the staircase, which was now being destroyed.

Two more explosions rocked the building. The staircase had been taken out. There was no way up to them. Four mercenaries pulled back the elevator doors and slotted locks into position.

Jeorge picked off the steel cables of the elevator far below with his sniper rifle. The elevator hit the lowest floor with a loud crash.
The above ground SYF security was in complete disarray. Security cameras were non responsive, the electronic locks on the weapon?s cages weren?t opening. All the high-powered weapons were locked away and all the staff were left with only pistols and a limited amount of ammunition.

Nicholas knew all of this. He had a friend on the inside. A very good friend that sorted a few things out for him. He smiled to himself and clicked himself to the cable. An odd metallic whir came from the elevator shaft as twenty-two well-armed intruders flew past.

[Lady Asphyxia]

[color=darkred]The explosion rocked the floor beneath the girls feet. Rae cursed and ran out the door. Jaudiar's longer legs meant she caught up easily, and Siren had been running the same time as Rae. "Where to?" She called over the yelling, and, Rae thought with disgust, screaming.

It was pitch black in their building, and agents were running to look at the windows. The words reverbareted around the building, "there's been an explosion in the apartment block." Another whisper came round, that there was a grenade on the top floors. All power had been wiped. They couldn't get to the weapons. There was an attack.

Jaudiar started moving toward the elavator. "They're coming for Pizaro. They have to go down through here." She pried open the elevator doors. A swishing sound announced the presence of an enemy. A hand on Rae's shoulder made her whirl around, then breath a sigh of relief. Ryan. He grinned and they waited for the mercenary to come into view. It didn't take long. He stopped when he realised he was venerable, and stared for a second, then pulled out a gun and shot. Ryan leaped in front of the girls, getting shot in the arm and leg. Juadiar, the only one of them trained in knife throwing, sent a knife whipping into the man's head. He screamed and let go.

Rae grinned and the man sank back, staring at them vacantly. He was dead of course. A knife in the skull was pretty hard to beat in efectiveness. They looked at the rapidly-fainting Ryan. Jaudiar clucked her tongue. "Chivalrous instincts will be the death of him." She called over their paramedics on the floor and left him to them. They needed to stop this, and now.

The SYF agents were some of the most highly trained, Rae knew, because the head directed had decided that the children couldn't handle the job. To combat that discrimative thinking, their trainers and tutors had made sure they were among the best of the best.

"We need to get the others." Iitashi popped up.

"I'm here."

"We only need Liam now. Do you knwo where he is Jaudiar?"

She frowned slightly. "He said something about going to sit in canons."

Rae nodded and rolled her eyes. "He's in the high lever security basement. The one holding Pizaro."

"What about Jenna?"

"What about her?"

"Well, I hadn't thought about it before, but where is she?"

Rae grinned. "On the other side of the world, under top security. We couldn't put Pizaro and Jenna together..."

"Yeah. It'd be like the Devil and his daughter."

Siren wrinkled her nose. "Yeah, except now the Devil has a pwerful ally - his son." [/color]

[liamc2]

OOC: Back on the net Monday. Possibly sunday. No promises tho
---------

The double doors in front of him shook in their brackets. The sound of automatic fire came through the sound proof barriers. The doors shook again. It sounded like the good guys were winning. A voice sparked over the radio.

?Liam, open the doors! We?re pinned down, we need your butt out here. Wait! grena-

The doors rattled again. The radio buzzed static.

Liam grunted.

The doors slowly opened.

Nicholas grinned. The big man Jeorge was at his side and two remaining mercenaries were behind them. Those seven SYF guards had been more trouble than he bargained on. No matter now?

The room they entered was dark. Good, the power had been cut.
Jeorge?s flashlight strayed over the monster of a sentry cannon hanging inactive in its bracket.

Nicholas chuckled, ?good thing at isn?t active eh boys??

The lights flicked on and there was a pneumatic hiss as the sentry cannon swung round to face them. Liam waved jovially from the cockpit.

?Actually, the basement is equipped with its own generator, as well as external power. Say hi to the birdy.?

Nicholas raised his arms and began shooting wildly, but to no avail, the thick armour protected the gun as well as Liam inside.

Liam?s grip tightened on the stick in his hands.

Two ripe melon heads exploded, splattering the walls with their juices and grey matter. The big one and Nicholas were left now. Liam grinned, wave and pulled the trigger.

Nothing happened.

?What the hell??

The sentry cannon sagged in it?s bracket. The LCD screens in front of Liam blinked off.

Liam swore.

Nicholas laughed.

?You see Liam, pride does come before a fall!?

Liam raised an eyebrow.

?uh?how does that work??

Nicholas waved a hand.

?Never mind, you would never understand cultured humour.?

?I do, and would. I understand perfectly, it just is you misapplied an old adage and made a fool of yourself, hence me saying ?how does that work??

Nicholas remained cool. He wasn?t going to let this little capitalist brat get in the way of his father.

?Jeorge,? he said, ?kill the boy.?

Liam eyed his weapons five metres away. Why oh why did he have to get cocky and unholster them??

[Raiha]

[COLOR=royalblue][i]Flashing a cruel smile, Jaudiar cracked her knuckles and pulled out her cell phone...Siren and Rae stared.[/i]

Siren: What now?

Jaudiar: Yeah, is Ananda there? Cool. Okay, could you get her for me please?

???: Sure thing. *crackle*

Jaudiar: *covers phone with hands* If he's the Devil, there's only one thing to do about that.

Rae: And that is...?

Jaudiar: Hey Ananda! It's the hellcat. Look, we've got a madman coming for his madman father...could you help me out here? Cool. See you in a few minutes.

Rae: Madman...I would prefer Kleptomaniac, but this will work.

Siren: Who's Ananda?

Jaudiar: It's my big sister! She's dangerous....in her own way.

Rae: What is she going to do?

Jaudair: Boot Nicholas's guts through his backbone, that is if he has any guts.

Siren: ...there's always a meaner devil...

[i]In less than ten minutes, most of which were spent explaining the family tree of Sevenstar family.....Ananda appeared holding a rifle and several clips.[/i]

Ananda: Sup?

Siren: ...how did you?

Ananda: Teleportation from place to place. It's a family failing....come on, point me in the right direction, and it'll be done with before there's any bloodshed.[/COLOR]

[Lady Asphyxia]

[color=darkred]Blinking once, Rae pointed down. "Basement. Can I come?" She asked, reverting to acknowledging and looking to the elder/more powerful for guidance.

Ananda grinned. "Sure."

Siren nudged her. "Eh, Rae...you know the whole...looking like Jenna thing? We don't really want you taken, too."

"Yeah, but, we aren't going to fail or anything, and Nicholas wouldn't kill his little sister. Pizaro wouldn't let him."

Siren sighed. "Okay, come on, then Jenna."

OOC: I'm back. It's mildly disappointing that there was only 2 posts for my two day's absence..ah well.

Liam ducked as Jeorge took a swing at him. The cockpit of the sentry cannon had already been demolished by gunfire and was sparking every now and again.

Liam paused to see how close he was to his side arms. His black leather long coat was lying crumpled behind Nicholas. Unfortunately, he had paused [I]too[/I] long. Jeorge body checked him into the wall like a tonne of bricks.

Liam slipped to the floor while muttering [size=1]?ow, ow, ow, ow?[/size] under his breath.

Nicholas applauded.

?Very good Jeorge, now tear him limb from limb and we can open father?s cell door.?

Liam slipped through Jeorge?s legs and made a dash for his coat.
Nicholas, fearing Liam was running at him, kicked Liam in the stomach. Liam gasped and saw stars. This plan really hadn?t gone well.
Nicholas turned around at the sound of movement in the distant elevator shaft.

?Jeorge, check that out.? Nicholas picked up a riot shield from a fallen guard, ?take this too. Might as well use government equipment against the government. There?s irony there, but I can?t quite place my finger on it??

As Jeorge lumbered out of the room, Liam resisted the urge to point out exactly where the irony was and instead focused his attention on his coat, just a metre in front of him.

[Raiha]

[COLOR=royalblue][i]As Ananda, Siren, and Rae made their way to the basement, Jaudiar took to the shadows and went slipping down the hallway. Heading for Liam. She entered the elevator, and quietly slipped a magazine into her 9mm. The doors opened, and she was face to face with the brute Jeorge. Instinct took over. She pulled the trigger, sending one armour piercing bullet into his face. The force took him out. Literally. His body went flying across the room, and he smashed into the concrete walls with a sickening thud.

She hissed at his fallen form. Then melted into the shadows once more and entered the room.[/i][/COLOR]

[Lady Asphyxia]

[color=darkred]She skipped along, quietly humming to herself. Siren sighed. "Is there a reason why you're doing that?"

Rae looked at her, dragging her gaze away from her Glock, and shrugged. "I'm happy. I could be happy in a quiet way, if you want." Siren rolled her eyes and gestured for Rae to go behind her.

"Just in case."

Ananda took the lead, opening the door for them. Rae couldn't believe the only protective device they had was a door. Arrogant bastards. They continued on to the main room. First thing Rae saw, at least, was Liam, lying on the floor, looking just a tad pathetic. He had an arm out, and was trying to reach his coat. Rae couldn't help but grin. The men turned around, and she could immediately see which was Nicholas. The family resemlbance was strong. Hell, the non-family was resemblance was strong, too, in her case.

Nicholas flicked a surprized glance at them. He obviously had believed his man could stop the four girls. After moment to recover, he clicked his fingers and several more guards surrounded them. There were ten at least, Rae estimated; she couldn't be bothered to count. Wait. Three girls, she realised. Where the hell was Jaudiar?

Ananda grinned. "Around. Don't worry about it."

Rae sent her a startled look, then smiled.

Nicholas looked them over, and his eyes rested on Rae. "Do any of you young ladies know where my father's cell is?" Rae's eyes involuntarily moved to the cell door, and she cursed herself when Nicholas smiled. "Thank you Jenna." Siren elbowed her in the stomach, letting out a slight growl. He indicated to the guards to bring Jenna to him. Siren immediately moved to protect her, and Rae herself resorted to childhood, holding onto Siren's shirt and the closest corner. The henchmen came closer, trying to pull her away.

"No!" She shouted. The men looked at Nicholas, silently asking if they should use force.

Nicholas shook his head. "We'll see after we get Father out."

The process of releasing Pizaro was quite easy. They just had to break down the door. [i]Come on,[/i] she thought. [i]Hurry up Jaudiar.[/i] [/color]

[liamc2]

Liam shot Rae a withering glance. Rae ignored it. Liam snatched a hand on his coat and dragged the bulky item towards him. Nicholas and his guards remained oblivious.

Liam glanced at the guards. Where the hell had they come from? He glanced out the door at the sentry cannon emplacement and at the blood stained walls and corpses. There was something seriously fishy going on here. He could smell a rat. This was almost exactly like what happened a year ago.

?Hurry up, hurry up!? Nicholas barked at one of his mercenaries who had an oxygen torch set up. ?Start carving up that door. The sooner we get out the better!?

Liam grinned. There was a lockdown button on the sentry cannon. A [I]mechanical[/I] lock down button. Right now there were three steel doors between Pizaro and his son.

The torch started up and sparks started flying.

Nicholas glanced at Ananda and Siren. He waved one of his men to his side.

?Kill the two girls, we don?t need them. While you?re doing that I?ll remove this pitiful excuse of an agent that?s lying at my feet.?

Liam cleared his throat.

Nicholas looked down.

Liam had both the MS1 and his Desert Eagle placed against Nicholas?s kneecaps.
Nicholas lowered his PP7 at Liam's head

Liam raised both his guns to a more sensitive region and grinned.

[Raiha]

[COLOR=royalblue][i]From her vantage point in the rafters sighed and looked at Ananda. The older of the two moved faster than the eye could even hope to follow. In a trice, Nicholas was against the wall, held down by the powerful arms and body of Ananda. She smiled up at his handsome face, and purred like a kitten.

The gaurds were frozen in their tracks, held down by two knives digging into the smalls of their backs. Jaudiar grinned from behind them and winked at Rae and Siren.[/i]

Ananda: So....where were we?

Nicholas: Who the hell are you?

Ananda: I'm asking the questions here.

Jaudiar: You were going to decapitate him, until you remembered the "thou shall not kill" part of your code.[/COLOR]
