RPG Maverick Hunters: Personification

[Dark-Eye]

[i][color=silver][u]Xion took to his opponents one by one, fiercely slashing through the fray. He felt some sort of kinship with his blade as the side-to-side and up-and-down cuts of his blade cut down his enemies. He yanked up his A-Buster, using the particle-thread and cutting through the robots. He cut through a guarding line of opponents, charging right into the building. He ran flat into a huge beast, twice his own size. The creature simply pointed to himself and drew a long breath, saying one word.[/i]

[b]Massacre:[/b]Massacre.

[i]Xion whistled long and shrill, calling Fenir and any others to aid him. He charged up his A-Buster, preparing it with the Vulcan jab abilities. "This is gonna be TOUGH!" thought Xion to himself. "I like it!"[/i][/u]

[i]Xion snapped awake, his eyes on the ceiling of the [b]Alpha[/b]. It had all been a dream. He looked out at the barren landscape and felt a buzzing inside his personal comm unit. He opened the channel and found himself face-to-holographic face with Satina.[/i]

[b]Satina:[/b]Xion, I need your help!

[b]Xion:[/b]Satina, I can't. Not right now. I'm on my first mission as an Elite. I'll help you as soon as I get back, I promise, sweetie.

[i]Satina closed the channel aftre nodding assent. Xion mentally slapped himself, cursing under his breath.[/i]

[b]Xion(to himself):[/b]Did I just call her 'sweetie'?!?! Why did I call her 'sweetie'?!?![/color]

[Warlock]

[I]Just sat back and kept an eye on Alpha and it's two companion support transports up ahead, before sighing.[/I]

[B]Iota:[/B] "What's wrong 'Lock?"

[B]Warlock:[/B] "Oh, nothing... I've just been doing this [i]way[/i] too long."

[I]Straigthening up suddenly he look all around him, before reaching up with both hands to his helmet and pushing up. After quickly releasing the magnetic clamps via his HUD, the ex-Hunter easily took off the helmet, placing it between his legs.[/I]

[B]Warlock:[/B] "We should be getting close. And if we get into any trouble, let me go in first, 'kay?"

[I]Iota didn't say anything, but didn't exactly look that happy with those arragements.[/I]

[I]Warlock meanwhile had closed his eyes, mentally preping himself for the task ahead. Fuel levels and armor reports circled through his HUD, telling him just how ready he was for combat...:[/I]

[U] --: 92%

Fuel levels: 68%

Estimated time until personal reactor recharges: ... ...One hour

Scanning Systems: Operational

Buster Systems: ... ... ...Operational.

Emergency Weapons: ... ...Inactive. ... Self repair systems repairing, ETA, twenty minutes.

Dash Systems: Par--[/U]

[I]As more and more reports scrolled over the screen, Warlock opened his red eyes, quickly brushing his left hand through his untamed hair, having no effect whatsoever.[/I]

[I]And as he got ready to place his helmet back upon his head his stretched his right hand forward, just smiling as it twisted and turned, before pulling back into his arm. Moments later a different mechanical mass returned, quickly shaping into his buster.[/I]

[I]He was ready to show any of the newer elites in the transport, which he hoped there were, just what a[/i] true [I]elite could do.[/I]

[Domon]

[i] "Dammit! I shouldn't be so damn cocky. Oh well, I wonder who this is we'll be going against when we land." The ship came to an even slower crawl and began to descend and then there was a gentle jolt as the ship landed. Fenir activated his saber and got behind Reverb. "I got excellent marks in the basic, it was the team work missions i got some bad marks, yeesh everthing but the team work missions i got top marks in." Demos lead them off and Fenir was still pissed, but he didn't let it get to him so he walked behind reverb but he was soon talking to him.[/i]

Reverb: You okay? Looked like Demos was trying to intimadate you.

Fenir: [i]Mutters inchohearnt words.[/i] Why they let this guy do this amazes me, oh well i probably have to deal with this guy for the rest of the time i'm here. [i]Whispers into Reverbs ear.[/i] What that guy needs is a swift kick in the @##.

Reverb: Heh. You're right there.

Demos: Hey you two get up here so i can give you the message briefing.

[Chaos]

[b]Demos:[/b] "Now, if we can get Fenir to stop talking about kicking people in the ***, I think we can get down to business."

[i]Fenir blushed angrily. Did Demos know everything that went on around him? The answer, was yes, thanks to the ZSI Combat Command Module that he had installed into his HUD. But firstly, the little icy blue chip gave him heightened battle senses [Not that he really needed it; he's as sharp as a tack], but also gave him an extra boost of power, a charge-up, if you will.

Demos moved along, his right eye twitching slightly, a sign that he was itching for a fight. He motioned towards the three-dimensional projection of the tower.[/i]

[b]Demos:[/b] "This tower is our enemy. Our objective is to get to the roof level, and shut down all five of the generators which supply it's main power. After we disable the generators, the gas that's left in it's tanks, for back-up purposes, will kick in. It's at this time that we must go back down to Sub-Level Two, and plant an explosive device, triggered by a remote detonator.

After that, we must make sure that the warheads, if there are any actually in there, are not active. IF they are, however, on, we'll have to deactivate them, using a key code. For secrecy sake, we'll be told then and only then the code by a secure radio line from HQ.

After we have cleaned out the enemy troops, deactivated the generators, disabled the warheads, and planted an explosive device on the gas mains for the building, we'll reboard here, in [b]Alpha[/b], otherwise known as the [u]Alamo[/u]. I'll be dividing you all into squads, and if I hear but one of you complain about who you're buddied with, I'll blast you on the spot.

Squad One, shall consist of Reverb, Nova, a Medic from one of the transporters outside, a Heavy-Artillery Drone, and Fenir.

Squad Two, will be myself, Xion, another Medic, a Light-Gunner Drone, and X.

Squad Three, unfortunately, will have to stay here and guard [b]Alpha[/b] and the other transporters. It will be made up of everyone else that was not mentioned.

...

I suggest each one of you double check your systems now, because Intelligence tells us there are many, MANY enemies inside. Bear malice against every one of them. This is all or nothing, folks."

[i]With that said, Demos installed a power cell into the Fusion Launcher module that he attached to his D3, and began charging up. All of his systems were giving the Go, as they were all at least above 80 percent.

As the back ramp lowered to the ground as [b]Alpha[/b] hovered downwards, and lowered to the ground, Demos calmly walked out into the blistering sunlight. The ground around him was scorched, burned down to the very soil. The area around the tower had been eaten away, apparently, by radiation.

Demos sneered, but was quickly reminded that the Squads had strong armor, and a little radiation wouldn't hurt them that bad. But he'd have to be careful to watch his step, and monitor the readings as he went along.

Lowering his fully charged-up buster to where it was aimed at the broad side of the tower wall, he let the Fusion round fly, and reeled as the immense explosion shattered the re-enforced wall, sending debris everywhere.

When the Squads entered the hole in the building, they saw the burnt-out shells of many Maverick droids, most blown apart. There were some in the rear of this sort of reception area, much like a business office building's, that where injured severely. But they could still fight.

Both of the Squads let loose a tremendous volley of plasma shots, a literal Firing Squad for the droids in the rear of this room.

After a minute of checking to make sure every enemy was dead, Squad One went to the elevator, and made it to the Fifth Story with a press of the button, however, the Fifth Story, as it was shown by the three-dimensional projection of the Silo, was bigger than the huge reception area-like first floor, as the tower escalated in size as it ascended.

Squad Two took the stairs, blasting their way past bug-like sentry robots.

This was going to be a long day...[/i]

[Break]

[size=1][color=crimson]When I'm in the pit, I'm gonna punch and kick.. o_O; Sorry I haven't posted for a long time.
____________________


[i]Squad One walked warely around the Fifth Story. Fallen rubble lay scattered on the dust-covered floor, Nova kicked aside a peice of concrete which clunked along the floor until it stopped and a metallic clang sounded as it hit a metal desk at the other side of the floor.[/i]

[b]Nova:[/b].. Hmm. Fenir, go over there with the Droid and check out that desk.

[b]Fenir:[/b] Alright. Come on..

[i]Fenir signals to the Droid to follow him and they walk over to the desk, which seemed to be the only object that was intact on the whole floor.

Nova nodded to Reverb and the Medic and they followed him out of a door into a corridor. Only one other door was on this corridor so Nova walked up to it and pushed a button next to the door, which quickly slid open after he pushed the button.

Slowly Nova, Reverb and the Medic walked inside. Instantly Nova and Reverb put up their Busters and held them at the black-armored figure slumped over a desk in the corner. Reverb approached it and turned the body face up, he jumped backward upon the site of the Reploid's front. It's whole circuitry beneath it's chest and stomach areas had been ripped out, it's armour was ripped and torn, the black paint shredded, revealing shining metal underneath.[/i]

[b]Reverb:[/b] What the hell happened here?

[b]Nova:[/b] Just looks like an attack. But by what I can't be sure. Medic, go and check him.

[i]The Medic nodded and walked cautiously over to the limp body of the Reploid. He flicked a switch on the side of his head and a set of lenses extended over his right eye, and a small torch over his left eye. He then took some kind of instrument from his belt and began rummaging around in the chest section of the Reploid.[/i]

[b]Reverb:[/b] How is it, Medic?

[b]Medic:[/b] In bad, bad shape. It seems to have it's [i]entire[/i] circuitry taken out.. apart from.. ahh yes the brain area.. I wonder..

[i]The Medic shuffled the body over a bit so the head faced towards him and he took out another instrument, he pushed a small button on it and a tiny red laser-blade appeared, glowing above the handle. He smiled and began to very slowly cut into the side of the Reploid's head.

Reverb rolled his eyes.[/i]

[b]Reverb:[/b] ..Medics.

[i]Nova smiled and nodded.[/i]

[b]Nova:[/b] Hehe, yeah I know what you mea--

[b]Medic:[/b] Oh my! This Reploid has [i]no[/i] form of power at all, I wonder how it's brain circuit was taken out without the head being cut. Strange that is. All there is inside the head is a small visor unit, as you would have, and a little battery unit of some kind.

[i]Reverb suddenly noticed a red flash on the floor under the desk. He leaned over and picked up some sort of red gem. It was smaller than his palm and looked like it had a carving on it which merely said "SABRE01". He tapped the Medic on the back.[/i]

[b]Reverb:[/b] I found this on the floor. Maybe it belongs to the Reploid?

[b]Medic:[/b] It might do! Good find.

[b]Nova:[/b] Medic, do you know what it is?

[i]The Medic shook his head.[/i]

[b]Medic:[/b] No, but I'm guessing it's some kind of battery. But how it could power this Reploid I'll never know. Ah, it's always best to try, give me the gem.

[i]Reverb handed the red gem to the Medic who placed it inside the Reploid's head where the battery holder was. Suddenly it jolted and a red glow came from it's eyes. Quickly it faded and the Reploid again went limp.[/i]

[b]Medic:[/b] I think we had something there..

[b]Nova:[/b] ..Wonder what made it stop?

[b]Reverb:[/b] No idea.

[i]Nova sighed and turned back to face the door.[/i]

[b]Nova:[/b] We'd better go check on Fenir and the Droid now, there's nothing else in here apart from the Reploid.

[b]Reverb:[/b] Yeah, let's go. Come on Medic.

[b]Medic:[/b] Whoops, hang on, I dropped my Las-Scalpol.

[i]Reverb sighed and walked outside the door, waiting with Nova for the Medic. As he mumbled to himself, the Reploid rose and it's eyes shined red. With a silent whir, two large Beam Sabre handles appeared in his hands. Flexing his left hand a huge beam blade shot out and became a Beam Sabre, he then walked behind the Medic and swiftly stabbed downwards into his back.

The Medic dropped the Scalpol and opened his mouth to call out to Nova and Reverb, but by the time any sound came out his mouth, the Reploid had brought the blade upwards, slicing his head in two. He dropped to the floor with a small crash.

The crash and an electrical crackle brought the attention of Nova and Reverb into the room, the glanced in to find the Reploid they thought dead hunching over the Medic's broken corpse. Immediatly, the Reploid looked up at them, it's expression still as calm as it was when they found them.[/i]

[b]Reverb:[/b] It's alive?!

[b]Nova:[/b] Medic!

[b]Reploid:[/b] ....

[i]As Reverb and Nova ran at the Reploid, it pushed a button on it's arm and the air around it blurred as it slowly disappeared. Nova took out his MXRSabre and engaged the beam before slashing at the air in which the Reploid had been standing. He cursed and flexed his left hand, his Buster appeared.[/i]

[b]Nova:[/b] How the hell did it do that?

[b]Reverb:[/b] Some kind of teleportation I'm guessing.

[b]Nova:[/b] Well we've gotta find him. Oh **** what about Fenir? He can't take something that can teleport, we have to get back to that lift room we were in.

[b]Reverb:[/b] Right, got ya.

[i]They both ran down the corrider and kicked down the door to the main room door. It was locked but Nova quickly ploughed through it with one strong kick.

Within the room the Heavy-Artillery Droid tried to hold the Reploid back with various heavy plasma shots that missed every time, it was way too fast for heavy weapons. Fenir had realised this and was trying to hit it with his Buster and an occasional charge to try and hit it with his beam sabre, but no luck so far.[/i]

[b]Nova:[/b] Fenir! You look like you need some help. Are you okay?

[b]Fenir:[/b] Nova, Reverb! I could really used some help!

[b]Reverb:[/b] All ri--woah! Watch out!!

[i]Fenir had turned to Reverb at the wrong time, with incredible speed the Reploid had charged at Fenir and had delivered an upwards slash, cutting through his chest and sending him smashing into the wall next to the Heavy-Artillery Droid.[/i]

[b]Reploid:[/b] .. Sorry about that. I didn't kill him.

[b]Reverb:[/b] That's a bad thing?!

[b]Reploid:[/b] Of course..

[b]Reverb:[/b] Who are you?

[b]Reploid:[/b] [i]What[/i] am I.

[b]Reverb:[/b] .. Whatever.

[b]Reploid:[/b] I am a Maverick. A Maverick of the Sabre class. Only one made. And you're talking to it.

[b]Nova:[/b] Sabre?

[b]Sabre:[/b] Yes. Sabre, Nova.

[b]Nova:[/b] Nova? How did you know that?

[b]Sabre:[/b] From those scrawls on your armour. Let's get down to business. One, you're not going upstairs. Two, I doubt your friends will help.

[b]Reverb:[/b] What do you mean? You want to fight us..?

[b]Sabre:[/b] Exactly.

[b]Nova:[/b] We'd would be glad to!

[i]Nova nodded at Reverb and they both ran at Sabre, Busters blazing with plasma energy fired at the blur of Sabre as it moved at impossible speeds around the room. Suddenly he stopped running and darted towards Nova, dodging the plasma shots as he dashed.

Sabre slashed horizontal at Nova, Nova held out his own sabre to deflect the hit. Quickly he glanced at Reverb, who ran over behind Sabre as the two struggled in a blade-lock.

Sabre's other hand glowed slowly and delivered a small shot of energy to Reverb, it was a very light hit and Reverb then jumped into the air and delivered a back hand hit with his Buster hand to Sabre's head, he flew backwards and fell on the floor.[/i]

[b]Reverb:[/b] Fast. Strong. But poor defence.

[i]Nova smiled.[/i]

[b]Nova:[/b] Yeah, they're all the same.

[i]Sabre rose suddenly, like a puppet with no effort at all. A manic grin was spread across his face, his red eyes thinned to mere slits.[/i]

[b]Sabre:[/b] What if they are fast. Too fast that they don't need defence because the opponent cannot hit them?

[i]Sabre began dashing at Reverb at an impossible speed..[/i][/size][/color]

[Talon]

[i][color=silver]Xion smiled viciously as he realized his dream was not going to come true. He took a scant three seconds of pause as he switched from his longsword to his Vulcan Jab,burning to cinders the next droid that stood in his way. As he tuned in to his surroundings in his battle-minded state, he found himself revulsed by the skeletal, eaten appearance of the droids. He fired and fired the molten punches one by one, keeping well away from Demos and the gunner, who were both firing like mad. Xion jumped up, bit by bit, to the top of the stairs they were climbing. He read a sign that said [b]"Sub-level Two - Back-up Generators and Thermostat Control"[/b]. Xion charged up his buster, turning to Demos as a huge skeleton crashed a dagger into Xion's arm. Xion cried out as the gunner blew the giant droid to the great processing plant in the center of the Earth. The medic ran up as Xion ran a self-diagnostic with his HUD, finding his buster slightly disabled. He'd be unable to use his particle beam-cannon for an hour, but that was all. the medic bandaged up the bleeding gash, leaving the gunner and Demos slightly amazed at a bleeding reploid. Xion broke the silence once the bandaging was done.[/i]

[b]Xion:[/b]Hey, Demos. Do we go through here and set the bomb, or head up to the roof?

[i]A loud crash echoed through the stairwell as a giant reploid smashed through the wall, wearing huge amounts of armor. A demonic red glow gleamed beneath its helm. It rumbled as it spoke.[/i]

[b]???:[/b]I am the one-of-a-kind Maverick of this silo. My strength and defence are unmatched. And my sword can cut any thing, any thing at all. I am brother to Sabre, fastest and most cunning Maverick ever built. I am Scimitar!

[i]Xion drew out his own blade as Scimitar drew his. He looked at Demos and the gunner, both of whom drew their respective weapons. Xion smiled grimly, finally seeing a challenge in the giant block of impenetrable metal. Xion allowed his longsword to gleam slightly along its razor edge that could dice even the hardest diamond. The impenetrable against the unblockable...[/i][/color]

[Domon]

[i]Fenir had been thrown back against the wall and when he looked at himself he saw that his chest armor was cut cleanly, thankfully it had only hit the exterior armor that he had placed over his regular durlium armor (stronger than titanium.) He stood up with a minor limp, and clenching his chest just a little, he looked up and saw that the Maverick was giving Nova and Reverb a run for their money. He pointed his Strike Buster at Saber and began to charge up for his nova burst since he had activated his nova chip. As soon as he had enough power he turned to Reverb and Nova.[/i]

Fenir: Guys! Get behind me! I'm going to fire my Nova Burst and it'll take out the rest of this room except for where i'm standing.

Reverb: Alright

Nova: We'll give you some cover.

Fenir: Okay now take this you bastard!!!!!

[i] Reverb and Nova got right behind Fenir and he pointed his buster and released a solid stream of energy that blasted Saber clear outside of the room which also destroyed the entire part of the room that Saber was standing in, and after he had fired on him Fenir was standing up and did a quick scan and didn't pick up any more lifesigns of Saber. He suddenly fell down onto his knees and suddenly felt like he had been drained like he had lost his entire power, thankfully he activated his subtank which would activate his backup reserve power.[/i]

Reverb: Are you okay? You look like you're gonna pass out.

Fenir: I'm okay...Just let me get my breath...Phew! Man i feel like i'm drained. What happened to the Medic?

Nova: Dead.

Fenir: Oh man! Great, now where do we go from here?

[Chaos]

[i]A glaring red cresent slash came down hard on Fenir from his back, slashing a nice line in his spinal area. Fenir slumped to the ground, in terrible agony, as Reverb and Nova readjusted their positions tot hat of a defencive stance.

Sabre bounced off of one of the remaining walls, and came to a screeching halt in front of the still-standing Hunters. His eyes gleemed with pure malice, but they clearly saw that he was not damaged in any way. Sabre was right. Why have strong defence if your opponent can't hit you?

[b].:Elsewhere:.[/b]

The Light-Gunner fired rapid shots, in a constant volley, at the massive creature known as Scimitar. This huge best took a lumbering step forward towards Xion, when Demos dashed in, and plotted a B-line plasma orb right in the gigantic beast's face, when the shot simply rebounded off into the far wall, nearly taking X's head off.

Demos groaned angrily as he continued to roll under Scimitar, coming to a halt next to Xion. The Light-Gunner had stopped it's firing to, firstly, make sure Demos didn't get any friendly fire, and secondly, to let it's cannons cool.

The dimly lit room was shining from X's Z-Sabre, and Demos' new modified DX-Sabre, a longer and more powerful version of Havoc's D-Sabre. Scimitar laughed sarcastically.[/i]

[b]Scimitar:[/b] "Well, this is very fair. Three mean Hunters against little, old me."

[b]Demos:[/b] "Watch your backs, people. He'll knock your screws loose with a single hit if you're not careful."

[i]With that said, X dashed in, firing shots from his Buster at the small of Scimitar's back, while lashing the Z-Sabre in his left hand about, sending small energy 'bullets' in Scimitar's general direction.

When Scimitar turned to let loose an assult on X, Demos and Xion jumped into the fray, both landing solid kick in Scimitar's skull. Scimitar barely flinched.

Everyone retreated a few meters away from that hulking bucket to quickly recover their sense of attacking.[/i]

[b]Demos:[/b] [i]("This is going to be a [b]very[/b] long day...")[/i]

[Domon]

[i] Fenir had thought he had defeated Sabre, but the damage incurred in his back was proof that the S.O.B was still alive and could inflict as much damage as he wanted, soon Fenir was falling face first down into the ground, with a loud thud he soon did a self diagnostic and found that there was 60% damage to his back, just the minimum so he could function, he was desinged to stop working if he incurred 90.7% damage in his spinal area. Fenir knew that he couldn't fight for now because the sub tank was feeding energy directly into his self-repair systems (he just has minor self-Repair systems to like blown out circuts.) He scooted under some cover and asked Reverb to give him some cover.[/i]

Fenir: Man i can't believe he survived that!

Reverb: I can't believe that he did either.

Fenir: Hopefully i can be of some help.

[Juu]

[color=deeppink] [size=1]Satina sighed as she hung up, and rolled her eyes as she walked to the window. It was raining.[i]..Probably because of the fire...[/i]

Now that he couldn't pick her up, she had to get there on her own... A taxi, perhaps? She checked her pockets... [i]Just enough for the ride, and a coffee..[/i]

[i]What was he so busy about anyway? Was he actually fighting off the terrorists that could have started that fire?[/i] She suddenly grew worried. [i]What if Xion really was there? What if something had happened?? Of course, since he was a maverick hunter... they would definately have a chance...[/i]

Satina walked out, the rain drenching her hair as she did. She looked around, hoping she could get a ride...[/color] [/size]

[Flash]

[B]Reverb:[/B] Fenir, you just take it easy. Me and Nova have this one covered.

[I]Reverb turned from the wounded Reploid, and watched Nova, standing his ground and firing at the Sabre-shapped blur. Reverb was impressed at Nova's determination and skill. Grinning, Reverb decided to prove to Nova that he was just as good.

He raised up his right arm, bending it at the elbow. The joint in his elbow shot out, revealing a small blade. It flipped around, Reverb catching it in his right hand. The blade extended, reaching just on 1.2 metres. It was solid metal, which suprised Nova. There weren't many blades like that left, as nearly all of them had been converted to Beam weapons. Sabre slowed down to a stop, and chuckled when he saw Reverb's seemingly primitive weapon.[/I]

[B]Sabre:[/B] Ha ha ha. What are you gonna do with that butter knife? Spread me?

[B]Reverb:[/B] Just watch.

[I]He held the sword tightly, and launched himself at Sabre, who just laughed. He rose the sword back behind his head, and brought it over switfly, towards Sabre's head. The large reploid merely raised an arm, and blocked Reverb's attack.[/I]

[B]Sabre:[/B] Ha ha ha! Pathetic! Let me show you how a real sword works.

[I]Sabre brings his own beam-sword around, and slashes strongly at Reverb, who narrowly avoids the attack, backflipping out of the way. He landed facing away from Sabre, and turned his head around. Grinning sarcastically, he stood up.[/I]

[B]Reverb:[/B] Is that all?

[B]Sabre:[/B] I call your bluff. Your meaningless banter bores me. Time to join your comrade in the corner.

[I]Sabre glared at Fenir, and then turned back to Reverb. He activated his other Beam sabre, holding one of the burning red blades in each hand.[/I]

[B]Sabre:[/B] Time to die, Hunter.

[I]Nova's eye widen, and he aims his buster at Sabre. Before he has a chance to attack, Reverb holds a hand up towards him, telling him not to attack. Nova stands confused, whilst Reverb holds his sword with one hand, pointing it at Sabre.[/I]

[B]Reverb:[/B] Why don'tcha sit back and find out why I'm called Reverb.

[I]Spinning his blade around in an impressive display of swordsmanship, Reverb clasped it in both hands once again. Only this time, something happened. The blade began to emit heatwaves, and a small humming sound. Soon, the heatwaves changed to a purple glow, and the humming sound became ear-piercing, before disappearing, changing to a frequency too high-pitched even for the Reploid's advanced hearing system. The blade glowed with a steady purple light.[/I]

[B]Sabre:[/B] Cute.

[B]Reverb:[/B] Not cute. Progressive.

[I]Reverb swung the sword around, causing Sabre to immediately block the attack with one of his own weapons. How predictable, the large reploid thought to himself. And then what he hadn't counted on happened. As the opposing blades met, Reverb's progressive sword passed straight through Sabre's blade, destabilising the blade, and sending shards of light in most directions.

Sabre recoiled, shocked, but before he could react, Reverb's weapon had already slashed right through his mid-torso, sending a spray of internal fluids and small parts across the room. Reverb smiled sadistically, and brought his sabre around again, slicing the reploid's other arm clean off, revealing writhing wires and steaming hydraulics. With one final movement, Reverb stabbed Sabre right through the chest, piercing his Fusion-Generator. Sabre's eyes whited out, and bubbling, black liquid poured from his gritted teeth. The progressive sword lodged in Sabre's chest began a high pitched whine, and sent a final pulse of energy down it's blade, rupturing all of the dieing reploid's systems. Reverb drew his blade out of Sabre's chest, and sheathed it back into his forearm. Nova approached him, awed.[/I]

[B]Nova:[/B] That was... [I]Very[/I] impressive.

[B]Reverb:[/B] Thanks... It comes naturally, I guess..

[B]Nova:[/B] And that sword?

[B]Reverb:[/B] It's called a Progressive Sword... It vibrates at super-sonic speeds, which is why it cuts like a hot knife through butter.. The vibration also destabilises Ions in beam weapons, which is why I cut through his blade... Cool, huh?

[I]Nova grinned and nodded. Reverb went over to the corner and helped Fenir get up. Nova just stood there, watching. He'd seen a totally different side of Reverb today. On the surface he looked like your average rookie, curious and unsure. But in battle, he had changed. He fought like a veteran--No, it was more than that. It was like he was possessed. When Reverb had killed Sabre, it was more like he did it for fun than for safety.

Nova closed his eyes, and shook his head. Of course not. It's all in my imagination, he thought to himself. He walked over to Reverb and Fenir, and helped him get up.[/I]

[B]Nova:[/B] I'll take him back to Alpha. He's in no condition to fight.

[B]Reverb:[/B] Don't worry, I'll take him. You're in command, you're more essential on the battlefield.

[B]Nova:[/B] Alright then. Go now, and hurry back. I'll need you back here as soon as possible.

[I]Reverb nodded, and slung Fenir's arm over his shoulder, helping him back to the APC. Nova activated his Comm. device, and contacted Demos to tell him that they were one reploid and one medic down.[/I]

[Chaos]

[i]Demos cursed slightly when he got the message from Nova. Even Fenir could've helped out here, and now he was critically wounded. Furthermore, this Scimitar character seemed to be nearly invincible.

With a really good idea, Demos shoved the handle of his DX-Sabre into the barrel of his buster. Using the morph techknowlegy that was so common, Demos' entire arm became bathed in a steel-blue hue. Suddenly, as the air virbrated around Demos, the beam turned a bright yellow, darkening by the second, as Demos charged his buster.

X jumped to the side, after stabbing Scimitar in the leg with the Z-Sabre [Scimitar was quite captivated by the display of changes from Demos], and took refuge behind the Light-Gunner Drone.

Xion backed away as well, not really knowing what Demos had in store. But soon, he would know.

The yellow glow that was hovering over Demos' arm focused around the Fusion Launcher module. A thin, golden beam shot out, crossing straight through Scimitar's chest. After a second, the beam started to fade away, but it was also frying Scimitar's internal circuits.

Black oil surfaced through ever orafice on Scimitar, but it soon caught flame. A massive explosion ensued, rocking the entire Silo, which was very dangerious if the warheads were armed. But, the building made it though, only the Second Level was a gaping hole now.

Demos staggered slightly, some shrapnel having dices parts of him up, plus he was a bit drained from using such a powerful attack. But he'd be all right.

It was at this time that he recived another message, from Signas, explaining how Havoc was en route to the Silo at this very moment. Demos sighed, unattaching his DX-Sabre from the Fox-III Buster, and sat down on a roasted shell of one of the bug-like robots.

Xion walked over, and smiled briefly, before heading towards the stairs leading up towards Level Three.

At the same time, Reverb was boarding the Elevator, holding up Fenir. As he was lowering down to Level Four, the lift suddenly stopped dead on. The lights went out, and the gears grinded to a halt.

Reverb groaned in content, pounding on the door once. He was starting to hate this mission.[/i]

[Break]

[size=1][color=crimson][i]Nova stood in the destroyed Fifth Floor. For another second he thought about Reverb's incredible vetranary skill he had used against Sabre. He glanced down at Sabre's body, wires and pipes writhing and crackling at the point where his arm was cut off.

He thought what Reverb could really be. "Could he be..? No.. no, of course not" Nova quickly dismissed the thought, as it was an impossible suggestion. Shrugging it off, he turned to face the Heavy-Artillery Droid, who was whirring quietly in the corner.[/i]

[b]Nova:[/b] We'll keep going up. Come on.

[i]He waved to the Droid which followed him to the foot of the stairs. Taking one step up, Nova thought of something quickly and turned round to the Droid.[/i]

[b]Nova:[/b] You stay here and cover me, I'll go up.

[i]The Droid stayed put as Nova slowly made his way up the stairs, which creaked with each step he took. Suddenly the step he was on started to crack, he turned to run down the breaking stairs, but they quickly buckled beneath his weight and he soon found he was running in the air as he fell to the floor.

He waited for a thud of his falling body, but instead heard a crash as he smashed straight through the Fifth Floor and landed on the Fourth Floor.

As the dust settled he noticed he had landed on the Droid and crushed the bottom section of it. It was seemingly dead. Cursing, he slowly rose to his feet and brushed the dust that covered his body.[/i]

[b]Nova:[/b] Dammit, this is just my luck..[i](taking out his Comm.)[/i] better inform Demos--

[i]Just as he was about to speak into his Comm. he suddenly heard a knocking coming from the lift shaft at the other side of the room. Sighing with disbelief he walked slowly over to the shaft and ripped the doors to it open with a quick slash from his MXRSabre, he disengaged the beam and put it back on his belt.

He wasn't surprised to see that the lift wasn't at the door like it should be, but was halfway to it's stop. Nova heard the knocking again, it came from inside the lift. Thinking quickly, he grabbed the cable nearest to him and pulled it as hard as he could backwards. The lift slowly began to move down as Nova walked back with the cable. Straining with the weight of it, he shouted out to whoever may be in there.[/i]

[b]Nova:[/b] Who's in there?

[b]Reverb:[/b] Me and Fenir.. Guh, this lift is dumb.

[b]Nova:[/b] Yeah, I know. I have an idea that could help you get out.

[b]Reverb:[/b] .. Go on.

[b]Nova:[/b] Well. Put your energy-field around Fenir and yourself.

[i]Nova flexed his left hand and his Buster opened up. He flicked a switch on it and switched to 'Grenade'. At the same time, Reverb engaged his energy-field inside the lift.[/i]

[b]Reverb:[/b] .. Okay, done. Can I ask why?

[b]Nova:[/b] Hmm? Oh, you'll see.

[i]Nova loaded in a plasma-grenade from his brown satchel into the barrel of his Buster. Still holding onto the cable with his right hand, he flicked another switch and the grenade was ready to fire.

With a loud 'put' sound the grenade fired out and hit the door of the lift, bounced off and landed next to it. With a sigh Nova counted.[/i]

[b]Nova:[/b] Three... two... one... Bang.

[i]With a green light the plasma-grenade buzzed quickly before emitting a violent squeal of power and exploding, ripping the lift door off and tearing the floor slightly.

When the smoke cleared, Nova caught a glimpse of Reverb's mouth open in surprise. Shaking his head, Reverb ran out of the lift with Fenir under his arm.[/i]

[b]Reverb:[/b] Holy **** man. That was crazy!

[i]Nova smiled.[/i]

[b]Nova:[/b] Yeah I know.

[i]He let go of the cable and let it run through his right hand and into the lift shaft. The lift jerked sharply then fell down through the shaft, crashing into various things on the way down.[/i]

[b]Reverb:[/b] .. You like destroying things, don't yo--

[i]Reverb was interrupted by a huge crash which echoed through the shaft. The lift had landed on the bottom floor. Nova grinned, Reverb shook his head again.[/i]

[b]Reverb:[/b] .. Hang on.. how did you get down here?

[i]Nova pointed up at the ceiling which had a huge hole in it.[/i]

[b]Nova:[/b] I fell through. Damn stairs collapsed while I was walking up them. On my fall, I also crushed the Droid to death.

[b]Reverb:[/b] So what now? Are those stairs over there okay?

[b]Nova:[/b] Why don't we throw Fenir down and check?

[i]Fenir looked up, frowning at Nova's suggestion.[/i]

[b]Nova:[/b] Anyway. Do you know what floor Squad Two are on, Reverb?

[b]Reverb:[/b] Yeah, they're on the Second Floor.

[b]Nova:[/b] Hmm.. okay. What about Fenir?

[b]Reverb:[/b] ... Surely he's coming with us?

[b]Nova:[/b] Not so sure about that. The Third Floor hasn't been checked by anyone yet and there is a high chance that there is still hostile opposition on that floor. Fenir has a higher chance of being killed if we take him than if we leave him here.

[b]Fenir:[/b] But you can't--

[b]Nova:[/b] I sure can. Come on Reverb.

[i]Nova turned and started walking towards the stairs. Fenir looked desperately up at Reverb. He sighed and called after Nova.[/i]

[b]Reverb:[/b] Nova!

[b]Nova:[/b] What now?

[b]Reverb:[/b] I'll.. I'll stay here with Fenir. He can't take care of himself in this state. That means.. you'll have to go down on your own.

[b]Nova:[/b] ...

[b]Fenir:[/b] Please!

[b]Nova:[/b] Oh, all right then. I don't know what the hell's down there but anyway. See you soon Reverb. Fenir.

[i]Nova nodded at both of them and took out his MXRSabre and engaged it's beam. He began walking towards the stairs and descended down them..[/i][/size][/color]

[Domon]

[i] Fenir's HUD came up with a quick update: the damage to his back area had been reduced to 54 percent. He tried to stand up but as soon as he had managed to stand up his legs buckled right beneath him and he fell down onto his hands and knees.[/i]

Fenir: [i]Slamming fist into the ground.[/i] Dammit!! I just had to get careless! Why i didn't even think that he might have gotten behind me!

Reverb: Don't worry. Hell, anyone could have made the same mistake!

Fenir: No anyone couldn't have made that kind of mistake! I did, i was totally clumsy, I should have kept a target lock on him so then i could match his movements. Damn!

[i]Fenir flops himself against a wall and just sat and started to see how long it would take if his system repair would take. He decided to go to sleep.[/i]

[Talon]

[color=silver][i]Xion entered the third floor, wiping the oil off of his body. Seeing the place seemingly empty after running a precursory scan, he sat down and called Satina via his comm. He kept his scanners up, but he still wanted to talk to her.[/i]

[b]Xion:[/b]I'm sorry, Satina. But Right now, I'm trying to avert a huge problem that, if not resolved, COULD manage to destroy the rest of our city.

[b]Satina:[/b]Could you tell me what it is, Xion?

[b]Xion:[/b]I'm not so sure I can. I'm in the middle of the mission, so it could be unsafe as to alert the public before the danger is averted. And please don't be afraid.

[b]Satina:[/b]I'm not worried or afraid. You're there. You're fighting to save us all. I know you'll win. Is there somebosy with you? It sounds like there's another person in there.

[i]Xion quickly looked to his scanner and saw a huge cyborg, hulking over the control panels in the corner, had entered the room. It looked really familiar, especially when it walked over to him, pointed to itself, and said "Massacre".[/i]

[b]Xion:[/b]Satina, I have to go! I have to fig-

[i]A huge punch from Massacre cut Xion off. Xion checked his HUD, seeing 20% dmage to his chest area. He cursed, unsheathing his sword and charging his Vulcan Jab to the Volcano Berserker. He heard people descending the stairs. He hoped they'd hurry up.[/color][/i]

[Chaos]

[i]As Xion prepared his favored move, a blue beam burst through the opposite wall, tearing a nice hole through Massacre's shoulder with a long, dry sizzle. When Demos came up the rest of the stairs, he was relaxed, assuming he had defeated whatever was making the scuffle start.

As soon as he exited the stair hall, he was thrown back be a mighty punch to the jaw. Sent flying back like a ballistic missile, Demos' biomechanical pupils shrank to nearly invisible dots, when he crashed through the stairwell door, and slammed into the wall of the hall. Massacre, turning back to Xion. The hulking thing jumped up, crashing straight through the ceiling, leaving Xion and the now present X stunned.

After a few seconds, all seemed quiet. Blood was staind on the burnt carpeting from Massacre, and there was an errir silence that seemed to swallow the Hunters up. The Medic was attending to Demos' slight case of shock, and the Light-Gunner held it's position guarding the Medic and the fallen Hunter.

With a burst of debris from above, Massacre came down hard right on top of X, knocking him out right on the spot. Xion cursed, and ran up to Massacre, and snuck him good, right where his right temple should be with the Vulcan Jab move, fully powered up.

A small explosion insued; when the blinding light died away quickly, Massacre was found halfway embedded in the wall.

It was at this time that Demos returned to the fight, and tossed X into the relative safety of the stairwell.

Ever with a trickle of blood coming out of his mouth, and a bruise starting to already form, Demos was ready to issue an ***-kicking no one would ever forget.

Drawing the DX-Sabre, Demos ignighted the blade, and got into an offencive stance. Then, Massacre disappeared into the wall, somehow.[/i]

[b]Demos:[/b] "I ?[i]ucking hate[/i] cyborgs..."

[Domon]

[i] Fenir had been drifting between sleep and concisnous and now he awoke to the sound of Reverb rustling around some of the rubble of what looked like was a regular office. Fenir looked around and noticed that the room was a blackened charred room with overturned desks and smashed chairs and broken windows. "And we couldn't have protected this place why? I guess our higher ups decided it wasn't worth it, but why didn't Signas say anything if the higher ups didn't leave any security here at all?" Fenir suddenly noticed that his HUD was blinking, he loooked and noticed that it said that the systems were as repaired as they ever were going to be untill he got proper medical attention. He stood up shakily but then he realized that he could handle this, he walked/limped over to Reverb.[/i]

Fenir: I think i'm ready to go get treated now.

Reverb: What? You're walking? I thought you could barely stand!

Fenir: I still have 45.6 percent damage to my back and my self-repair system can't handle it. So i sugguest we get out of here.

Reverb: Okay, lets head down the stairs.

[i]The two set off down the stairs for the third floor so they could get the hell out of there, Fenir really wanted to stay but he decided to get the proper medical attention so as that he could come back and beat the crap out of whoever it was that was behind this scheme.[/i]

[Flash]

[I]Reverb exited the Comm. tower, and quickly made it to Alpha. He placed Fenir along one of the benches in the back of the APC. Two medics quickly approached him, and began assessing the damage. Fenir looked at Reverb, who just grinned back.[/I]

[B]Reverb:[/B] Don't worry. You won't be out of commission [I]too[/I] long.

[I]He then left the APC, and headed back towards the main entrance to the tower. As he stepped foward, he heard a humming noise, and it wasn't coming from Alpha. It sounded like a jet of some kind. Reverb readied his Buster, and prayed that the terrorist faction didn't have access to aircraft. His radar picked up the source of the noise, and Reverb spun around, aiming his Buster straight behind him.

Right in front of him was a small hovercar, travelling at breakneck speed towards the tower. Reverb's eyes widened, and he gritted his teeth. Pushing both hands out in front of him, two busters formed, and he began to charge a gravity based attack to hopefully repel the car.

Thankfully, he never had to fire. The car came to nearly a complete standstill, and spun around in midair. It slowly began it's descent to the ground. Reverb, both shocked and angry, decided to walk over to the driver's window, and give them a good shouting at. Tell them they were meddling in Official Maverick Hunter business, and could be put on trial. That'll teach 'em, he thought to himself.

He walked over to the driver's side, and tapped on the window. It slid down quickly, revealing the occupant.

Reverb's jaw nearly dropped, and it would've, if he hadn't forced himself not to. In the car that he was sure was going to pummel him into the ground, was the most beautiful face he's ever seen. He blinked twice, and opened his mouth. But the words just wouldn't come out. He was awestruck. Before the girl in the car had time to notice that Reverb was totally speechless, the passengers side door swung open, and a familiar head jumped out. It was Warlock.[/I]

[B]Warlock:[/B] Ah, Reverb. She was driving, I don't usually make such a... Fuss. I like to try and [b]stay stealthy[/b].

[I]He glared at Iota when he said it. She just smiled innocently back.[/I]

[B]Reverb:[/B] Warlock... Why did you tell me your name was Light?

[B]Warlock:[/B] So you know... Well I guess you can work that one out for yourself.

[B]Iota:[/B] Aren't we here for a reason, 'Locky?

[I]Warlock rolled his eyes, and muttered something cuss under his breath at Iota calling him 'Locky. Reverb's heart sank for very much the same reason. 'Oh, dammit, they're probably already together...', he said to himself. 'There go any chance I had.'[/I]

[B]Warlock:[/B] Anyway, Reverb, from what I've heard about this mission, It's gonna be a tough one. I'm here to help.

[B]Reverb:[/B] But what if you get caught?

[B]Warlock:[/B] Caught? Ha. Remember, I used to be in this squad. The only person with the arrogance or stupidity to 'capture' me would probably be Zero... It's been along time since I've been with the guys, hopefully they still remember me...

[B]Reverb:[/B] I'm sure they won't have forgotten. What about... um...

[B]Iota:[/B] My name's Iota. I guess you're Reverb.

[I]Reverb blushed and smiled as Iota shook his hand. He tried desperately not to look at her skin-tight battle suit, but couldn't resist, and snuck the occasional glance in.[/I]

[B]Iota:[/B] I'm an Ex-Hunter as well, I know the ropes. I guess I'll be here helping you guys out as well.

[B]Reverb:[/B] Good. We've got one man down already, we need the help.

[B]Warlock:[/B] Okay. Let's go.

[I]Warlock flexed his hands and arms, walking shoulder to shoulder with Reverb and Iota into the Communications Tower. This was the first time he'd even been near a real mission since that day over a year ago. 'I wonder if I've still got my touch.', he wondered to himself, chuckling as he did so.[/I]

[Zerosaber]

Shadow stood in front of the maverick hunter headquarters.It was a tall building that had many floors.Shadow had no need to be stealthy around here. no one knew who he was and he walked in . He noticed a reploid at a counter.

Shadow: I need to see the person in charge here.

???:you mean Signas.He is busy right now.

Shadow: It's really ugent

???:Fine I'll check with him right now.

The reploid talks on a comm.

???#2: state your nature of your visit here

Shadow: is this the leader of the maverick hunters

Signas:yes, I run the place why

Shadow:I need infomation on Warlock

Signas:Ok you need to come to my office to talk about that

???:His office is in the 2nd floor room 234B

Shadow:ok

Shadow goes to the elevator and goes to the room.Then suddenly three reploids jump out pointing guns at him.They appeared to be maverick hunters

Hunter#1:Freeze, Don't move

Shadow: what is the purpose of this

Hunter#2:Security, there is believed to be a maverick nearby. Why are you are you at Captain Signas' office.

Shadow:I'm here to discuss something with him

Hunter#1:We'll see about that

The hunter talks on his comm.

Hunter#1: okay go on in

Shadow walks in the office

Signas: you are the person who needed information on Warlock correct.

Shadow: yes, I need to know where he is currently

Signas: we dont know where he is.He was relieved of his duties a while ago

Shadow: You have no information on his Wherebabouts

Signas: correct. Although. No nevermind

Shadow: What.

Signas:He might be roaming around the comm. tower somebody says they spotted him heading that way but our hunters are on a mission there and it isn't advised to go there.

Shadow:I need to find him. Where is the comm tower.

Signas:Sorry I'm not allowed to disclose that information.Like I said the hunters are on a mission there.

Shadow stands there. In a flash he draws his beam sabre and puts it toward Signas' neck

Shadow: you will tell me where it is if you now what is good for you

Signas:Fine. It is on this disk.(he points to the disk)

Shadow:Thank you

Shadow picks up the disk and runs out the hallway. When a voice comes out of the intercome.

Intercomm:all available personal. a maverick is in the building and he he is headed toward the exit. Lock down is preceding

Shadow: damn. I have to get out of here

Shadow inserts the disk inside his arm and starts running to the nearest window. He then jumps out and is followed by a rain of energy and weapons.Shadow then sets his morph chip to Speed and starts running to the nearest car.He sees a car driving along and he jumps in it throwing out the driver and drives off as fast as he can to the comm tower being followed by a trail of energy form buster rifles until he gets out of range.He drives all the way to the tower until he sees a hovercraft. He stops the car and then sets his morph chip to stealth.Then he stares at the large tower and seeing blasts inside it .

Shadow:what the hell is happening in there.

He dashes to the entrance when he heard someone yell STOP.

[Chaos]

[i]As Shadow turned around at the mouth of the hole that Demos created, a steel-blue beam passed through his right shoulder. At the base of the beam, was Havoc, holding the D-Sabre artfully.

Shadow staggered backwards, attempting to draw his own beam sword, but a buster shot slammed him into the back wall with a fiery expulsion of energy.

Shadow was hammered even further into the wall of the building, a constant shelling of plasma tearing his outer armor to bits. After a straight minute of pummeling, Havoc stopped, to see that Reverb was rushing his way, followed by another reploid, and...

...
...

And Warlock?!

Havoc looked at the now-unconcious Shadow, before turning back to those rushing to his location. Awestruck, Havoc gapped at Warlock. Reverb ran up to Havoc, saying something, as Warlock came to a halt next to him, and some other 'New-Age' reploid.

But Havoc heard none of it. He was in shock, complete and utter shock. Warlock was..here. Now. On this mission. What was going on?!

After a few minutes, and a brief explination, Havoc was about ready to go home and sleep. All of this was starting to hurt his brain.[/i]

[b]Reverb:[/b] "One thing though. Ehh...who is that?"

[i]Reverb motioned towards the crumpled Shadow.[/i]

[b]Havoc:[/b] "Maverick that HQ reported as to be killed on sight. So I just fulfilled my duty... Heh."

[i]The Hunters and the Ex-Hunters walked off cautiously towards the stairs, and advanced upwards, but still talked.

A few minutes later, Shadow's HUD showed 99% damage. Crawling his way back to the car he had stolen silently, Shadow was on the brink of destruction...[/i]

[James]

[color=#507AAC][i]Proteus woke again. His HUD (which flickered with static every few seconds) indicated that his internal power generator had been damaged. His entire body was running at around 80% capacity. And now, he noticed that he'd been strapped to the side of the missile with large pieces of steel that were fitted with large bolts.

He looked up and saw a deep red sky. The roof of the tower had opened up while he had been sleeping. And now, zero hour was approaching...

After a few moments, Proteus heard more footsteps on the steel superstructure above him. He also heard voices.[/i]

[b]???:[/b] You have any idea what's going on here?

[b]???:[/b] Nah, Dr. Karman told us that we have to stall someone...I don't know why.

[b]???:[/b] You two are idiots! We're launching a missile with a prominent Hunter attached -- we need to stop the other Hunters from rescuing him.

[b]???:[/b] Do they know he's here?

[b]???:[/b] I don't know. I hope not. My sensors indicate that they are several floors from here...but we'd better hurry if we want to catch 'em!

[i]The trio continued talking as they came closer to Proteus. They didn't seem to notice him as they passed, but he saw them. Unlike Massacre and Gunner, these three were different. They weren't cyborgs. They looked like Replimasters...

Proteus used what was left of his energy to zoom in on the three of them. He quickly scanned their faces and compared their physical details with his internal data libraries. Sure enough, these three had been spotted before.

Gigabyte, Revolver and Tracer. Replimasters all three. But where did they come from? Proteus thought that the Replimasters were destroyed a long time ago...before Warlock left...

Proteus knew that the missile was due to launch at any moment. He also knew that these three Replimasters were not easy fights; the Hunters would be stalled long enough for the missle to successfully launch. Armed with this inevitable situation, Proteus shut himself down almost completely -- leaving only his backup systems online. He needed to conserve energy if he had any chance of surviving the missile launch...[/i][/color]

OOC: And the missile will launch...you'll just have to see what happens after. ;)

[Break]

[size=1][color=crimson][i]Putting his Comm. away, Nova had found out that the rest of the squads were on the Fifth Floor and moving up. Sighing, he ran up the stairs to the Fifth Floor to find that the others had already moved on. Cursing, he turned to face the next set of stairs, but suddenly he heard footsteps coming from behind him, up the stairs.

Looking around quickly for a place to hide, he found some large boxes next to the wall. Pushing them quickly out of the way, he dived behind them, as he did that, three large sillohettes came from the stairs. They got to the middle of the room and stopped, looking at hiding places. Nova supressed a gasp as he realised that they were Replimasters.

The one in front looked like he was the leader. He wore dull grey armour and a white peice of material around his left arm. Open circuitry showed on his head, where he also wore red sunglasses.

The second was smaller than both of the Replimasters, but he must be awfully quick. His armour was very elaborate in design, it was simple, just a shiny, silvery surface. He held in one hand an old "material" sword, which was also polished. On his head he wore some kind of device on his head, looked like a scanning headset or something of that sort.

The last one was different to the other two. His armour was red and, unlike the others', was scratched and marked from numerous battles he had been in. In both hands he held old revolvers, six-shooters, Nova wondered what he could do with them. He wore on his head a black eyepatch and a black Western-style hat. On his chest were two flaps which looked like they could conceal something.

Nova, crouched on the floor, began to listen in as they spoke. [/i]

[b]???:[/b] Tracer, check around this floor. I sense there is someone or some[i]thing[/i] in here.

[b]Tracer:[/b] Yes sir.

[i]Tracer (the shiny armoured one) pressed the side of his head and a red beam shot out of the scanner device. Nova thought that it was probably some kind of X-Ray device. Tracer moved the beam around the room, licking his lips, he pointed at a set of boxes opposite Nova.[/i]

[b]Tracer:[/b] ..There.

[b]???:[/b] Revolver, flush them out.

[i]Revolver smiled.[/i]

[b]Revolver:[/b] My pleasure.

[i]Revolver faced where Tracer had been pointing and the flaps suddenly opened up and revealed two miniguns. Nova also knew that these were old, shell-using firearms.

Grinning, Revolver suddenly fired at the boxes with the guns. A tremendous humming noise that Nova had never heard echoed through the room. Shells ripped up the boxes, sending bits of metal and wood everywhere.

As the smoke cleared, Revolver saw that he had destroyed a load of boxes and one little Gunner Drone.[/i]

[b]???:[/b] Tracer. Check over there..

[i]The unknown Replimaster pointed to where Nova was crouching. Tracer nodded and began the scanning process again. Smiling, he turned his scanner off and suddenly disappeared. Nova knew he had found what he wanted..

Suddenly, Tracer appeared next to Nova and slashed his left side hard with his sword. For a primitive weapon, it was powerful and sent Nova sprawling out of his hiding place. Tracer laughed and walked back over to Revolver and the other Replimaster.[/i]

[b]Tracer:[/b] I think we found what we were looking for, Gigabyte.

[b]Gigabyte:[/b] He's a Hunter? Excellent. Revolver.. kill him.

[b]Revolver:[/b] I will enjoy this. He looks fairly strong.

[i]Nova got up and stared at Revolver, walking over to him slowly, spinning the revolvers around elegantly in his hands..[/i][/size][/color]

[Zerosaber]

Shadow stood inside the car.He was extremely damaged and he had no clue who just did that to him.He didn't get a clear image of the reploid who because after the damage to his shoulder he couldn't see clearly.

Shadow talking on his comm:Metacorp this is shadow.I am extremely damaged and I need some help.

Metacorp advisor:Okay.There is one thing we can do but it is experimental.How much power do you have left

Shadow:Just a little. This reploid attacked me and I've been losing power.

Metacorp advisor: Ok.Now on your backup system

Shadow turned on his backup power.

Metacorp advisor:now there should be a repair function in the corner of your screen activate it.Now there are two options.use the password option and type in MEDIC#34

Shadow typed it in and immediately he saw his damage ratings decreasing.He was beginning to feel much better.

Metacorpadvisor:that was your morph chip's healing abilities but I wouldn't recomend using it in the next 5 hours or it will overheat.

Shadow:Thanks. also alert the maverick hunters that the maverick in the sewer has been captured.

Metacorpadvisor: I'll try

Shadow stood in the car laying down thinking of a plan of action.

[Talon]

[color=silver][i]Xion stopped and shook his head, trying vainly to find the vanished cyborg. When he realized his attempt was futile, he scanned himself again with his HUD. He smiled broadly when he saw that his particle cannon was online again. He turned to Demos, charging his blaster to full power without the Vulcan Jab power active. He then walked up the stairs that had been half-destroyed by some fall. Underneath the half-demolished flight lay a sparking Gunner drone, seemingly dead. As Xion walked past it, the hulk began to move, squealing on its gears. Xion bent down, signalling to the medic to see if he could do anything for the drone, and Xion then ran up the stairs. He saw Nova surrounded by three mysterious figures. He stopped long enough to hear the words "Revolver...kill him." and fired his fully-charged particle cannon at the one that was moving.[/i]

[b]Tracer:[/b]Another one....interesting.

[i]The beam had created a huge hole, about thirty-five meters in diameter, in the wall. But Revolver stood where he had stood before, seemingly unhurt. Xion swore to himself at his second most powerful attack's apparent uselessness. Until he was hit by a large cylindrical object, blasting him through the wall and into the ground. His HUD, cracked and bloody, read "99.9% damage". He still needed a medic. Luckily, Satina called at just the right time.[/i]

[b]Satina:[/b]Xion, I really need you here!

[b]Xion:[/b]Satina, I am almost dead right now. Could you call HQ and tell them to send a medic to the location of my PRD? The .1 percent of my systmes not damaged is my mouth and voice.

[b]Satina:[/b]Ok, but what's a PRD? And are you ok? What's the number? Please be alright....

[b]Xion:[/b]I'll be alright when I get to a medic. A PRD is a Personal Reploid-Tracer Device, and it can be used to find any reploid, anywhere that has one. The number for HQ is the frequency I'm uploading to you. Tell them I made you call, and tell them it's about Warlock, Proteus, and the Replimasters.[/color]

[Domon]

[i]Fenir stood up and stretched his body and ran off towards the comm tower once again to see if he could help. As Fenir entered the building he quickly checked his HUD and discovered an interesting blip on his radar. "Hmmmm...This never appeared before. Wonder who it is. Its really faint, seems like he's on the top floor. Wha? More guys on the 6th floor? Oh well i think i could climb up throug the elevator shaft without getting detected. I'll just send a encrypted transmission to Demos, Nova, and Reverb to tell them." With that Fenir pried the elevator shaft doors opened and started to climb up the emergency ladder.[/i]

[b]Meanwhile[/b]

[i]Nova was cornered by Revolver when he suddenly recieved an encrypted transmission from Fenir, it said that he would be climbing up through the Elevator shaft. He sent one back to stay in the shaft and investiagte the odd signal.[/i]

[b]Back in the Elevator shaft.[/b]

[i]Fenir had been climbing as fast as he could and then he saw the elevator, he quickly opened up the lower escape hatch and he was back inside the elevator, he quickly opened the top escape hatch and climbed out and was back climbing towards the top. As soon as he reached the 7th floor he opened the doors and noticed something strange. This entire floor was in perfect shape compared to the other floors, he ran up the stairs and he noticed that he had only about three more flights of stairs till he reached the top. "Hold on whoever you are, i'm on my way." [/i]
