-

- Roux and I are deciding which half of the bed we'll take they'll be a strict "keep to your half' rule.." Aisha said.
_ well, I'll let you and roux get changed so we can head out..' Dr Landon said setting his things down near the left bed and then heading out the door.

-
' As for being a girlfriend to you roux, you'll have to earn it, understand. no head games,or any of that. we'll start from the beginning and see where it goes..'Aisha said giving Roux a brief smile.

"Meet me at the Saguaro," Alfred said, leaving the room. He was treated to the faint sound of Sgt. Masters drunkenly singing profane songs.

He rolled his eyes and knocked on Gustave's door.

Gustave opened the door and stared at Alfred. "Sorry, I can't control Sgt. Masters," he said sheepishly.

"I'm heading to a bar nearby. It's called the Saguaro," he said.

"Count me in," Gustave said brightly. He then lowered his voice. "Besides, Sgt. Master's singing is giving me a headache.

Gustave then closed the door and headed to the lobby with Alfred in tow.

"We're at a hotel in the outskirts of Cornova, New Mexico," Dr. Zanasiu said. He and Chase were inside Zachary's hotel room.

Aisha went into the bathroom to get changed.
-
Lets try not to draw too much attention.. we have a habit of doing that.." Dr landon said to Alfred. " But after the last couple days I could use a stiff drink..." he dded as he headed down towards the bar.

Shakila looked to Dr. Bailey for a moment and shrugged "Sure, I guess so, I mean, it doesn't really bother me, so long as I can have a sleep somewhere" she spoke, but also patted her laptop some "Besides, I do want to at least check up on my sister, see how she's going and what not....the family better not be worrying about me...."

Sure, it wasn't Pyramid Head that Hailey had soon stumbled upon, but he was ugly none the less.

An Executioner, as he was called, wearing a mask and everything, along with carrying a rather large executioner's axe. His clothes were covered in blood. Nails all over his back and in the back of his head.

Hailey looked at the Executioner and seemed to gulp, ever so slightly "Well, that sure as hell is something you would see in the horror genre...." she watched the Exectioner's movementsas he walked forward, axe dragging along the ground before he used his strength to lift it up into his hands.

***

Drake watched the Exectioner get to work "No more games now Hailey...." he sneered somewhat as he turned his attentioned to Soundwave "How is the new Simpson programe coming along?"

"Progress is at 59%, it shall be complete within the next five minutes" Soundwave answered back.

"Good, once it's complete, send it after Neku, keep him busy somewhat" Drake ordered Soundwave, still feeling a little irritated that he had to use this programe instead of his Wonderland programe.

Alfred and Gustave walked down a street and they stopped in front of a large bar with a tacky looking neon cactus in front of it. Several patrons showed their IDs to the Rhino bouncer at the front door to be let in.

"Well, here we are," he said. He then fished out his wallet and stood in line.

Nick22 · **Reply #3506 on:** January 09, 2011, 08:45:59 PM

roux headed into the bathroom after aisha was finiahed roux with a sly smirk ,kissed aisha on the lips then quickly ducked inside. Aisha fumed " Bad form roux! Bad form" she snapped " Lok i'll meet you at the bar" She said and she headed out of the room
Roux soon joined her and the two went down to join the others.
Dr Landon pulled out his ID and waited for his turn to show it to the bouncer.

"I'll type up the official report," said Smithson.

Shelton nodded. "Guess you get to put the equipment away once this meeting is over, Gallo."

"Don't worry," Vic radioed back. "We can home in on your GPS coordinates that are installed in your vehicles. Just make sure Chase stays out of trouble until then."

Chase was sitting in a chair across from Zanasiu.

Hailey took a step back from the Executioner as she eyed him cautiously before having to jump back from a swing of the large axe that had just barely missed, slicing her stomach open "Heh, underestimate the axe's reach...." she spoke, having to jump back some more from another swing of the axe.

She had to retaliate and fast, firing some fireballs at the Executioner in order to wear him down somewhat.

***

Drake was noticing this, having underestimated Hailey's power "Soundwave, release the AI....now!" he snapped.

"AI is only at 87% complete, this action is not..." Soundwave begun to answer back when Drake snapped.

"I don't care, just release it....Hailey, nor Neku for that matter is going to destroy my work, not today" Drake ordered as Soundwave acknowledged, releasing the unfinished AI into the simulation.

***

It didn't even take Hailey all that long to dispose of the Executioner, burning him to a crisp, to which she sniffed it a little "Bleh...." was all she could say, stepping over the Executioner's body and continued her search for either Drake or to meet up with Neku.

***

Drake narrowed his eyes "Soundwave, send the Simpson AI after Neku and then....go and take care of Hailey, your orders are to kill her" he spoke, eyes still narrowed.

"Acknowledged" Soundwave spoke as he sent the Simpson AI after Neku while he in turn, materialized in the next room Hailey was to approach.

Both Zara and Viper had managed to infiltrate the facility where Colonel Dietrik was hiding in, however, little did they know that Trinity was on her way to take care of them.

"Stay close to me" Zara told Viper as she stepped forward cautiously, her claws out and active, eyes watching as Viper did indeed, keep close to Zara.

Xanthus in turn, had left Aimee to rest in the room while he was outside on the balcony of the hotel room. It was still raining and he was still shirtless. However, he wasn't going to go anywhere, anytime soon, after all, he needed Aiee in order to get these other "friends" of hers, and if she wanted to take him for questioning, then so be it.

He just smiled, or even smirked lightly to himself as he stood there, looking out into the rain as he did so.

In front of Neku, a collection of pixels swirled in a stormy cloud, eventually settling into the shape of a tall scientist in a white labcoat. Unlike the other virtual creations, however, Dr. Simpson looked more virtual than realistic; his face had a tinge of flickering grey, and his features were cubic and composed only of sharp edges.

He blinked, looked around, and narrowed his eyes.

Barely a moment had passed before he turned to face Neku, pointing his index fingers at the autoturrets that had just appeared in opposite corners of the room. "Hello. While I'm not programmed to accept surrender, I am willing to entertain the notion."

---------------------

Shelton looked in surprise at the new figure on the screen. "That's me?" he asked. "Why am I so...?" he trailed off, unsure how to say it.

"Pixelated?" suggested Smithson.

-------------

O'Neill nodded and joined his toast. "To Dragonstorm and all her allies," he echoed. Politely draining his glass, he got up and with a final curt nod headed back for his office.

(Saguaro Bar - Cornova, NM)

Satisfied with their IDs the bouncer let Gustave, Alfred and Dr. Landon into the bar.

The bar itself was filled with people playing pool, drinking and generally having a good time.

----------------------------

(Meeting Room - New Peenemunde Harbor, FL)

Dr. Kerzach nodded chuckled. "It's like the machine doesn't like you, Simpson," he said. "I mean, why would it make you look so pixillated while everything else looks so real?"

StarfallRaptor · **Reply #3512 on:** January 10, 2011, 01:32:45 PM

Neku smirked. "Sorry, but I don't do surrender. You'll just have to go down."
He said, twirling his swords...

Roux blushed and moved closer to Aisha.
"Umm...I gotta tell you something. I've never been to a bar, so...uh...can you stick close to me?"
She asked nervously.

Nick22 · **Reply #3513 on:** January 10, 2011, 01:54:00 PM

sure" aisha said " Just.. be normal. i'll cover the drinks.. bars are not a place you want to get wild and flirt, fights have a tendency to break out she said as they came to the bouncer " shes with me.. Aisha said showing him her id. shes a pet of sorts.. I've gor her leash in my pocket' Fine the bouncer said just keep her on the leash, we don't want no lawsuits got it?"
Understood Aisha said and grabbed Roux by the arm and entered the bar.
Dr landon tried his hand at pool, and scratched on a corner shot. those women on TV make it look so easy" he muttered as Aisha and Roux found him ' Ladies Alfred is just over there. you guys want anything to drink..
sure, nonalcoholic if possible aisha replied moving over ad sitting next to Alfred.

Serris · **Reply #3514 on:** January 10, 2011, 03:18:53 PM

Alfred bought a mug of beer and slowly sipped it. In comparison, Gustave was on his third mug of beer. Gustave was next to him and eating some fish and chips as well.

"Gustave, don't drink so much. I don't want to have to post your bail after you do something stupid," Alfred said.

"Ah shove it!" Gustave slurred, draining his third mug. "Hey! Barkeep! A round of beer for me and my friends!" he shouted.

The barkeeper, an imposing looking Harpy Eagle, quickly filled two mugs with beer and slid them to Alfred and Aisha. He then turned to Gustave. "I think you've had enough to drink," he said calmly.

Gustave's eyes narrowed. "Listen birdbrain, I paid for beer... not a lecture!" he snapped.

The barkeeper ignored him.

"Gustave! It's time to go!" Alfred said. He was not even

In his drunken haze, Gustave ignored him. He then noticed an attractive female Nile Crocodile. "Nice scutes you got," he said.

Alfred facepalmed, hoping that the woman would ignore him.

Nick22 · **Reply #3515 on:** January 10, 2011, 03:56:44 PM

Alfred you'd better grab him and get him back to the hotel" Aisha said to him ' hes plastered, and hes acting like an idiot."
She turned to Roux. " That is why you don't act up in bars. Some drunk will starting flirting with you when hes he so far under the table he wouldn't be able to walk in a straight line or tie his shoes.

aabicus (LettuceBacon&Tomato) · **Reply #3516 on:** January 10, 2011, 04:35:51 PM

The AI Simpson shrugged and lowered his arms to his side. As his arms moved, image lag caused a mess of pixels to briefly linger wherever they used to be, before following and settling back into the sleeves of his labcoat. "Of course. I assumed you were not interested in surrender, but since you are a living being with the luxury of free will, I thought you would enjoy an opportunity to choose."

The autoturrets started firing a stream of explosive bullets at Neku.

MrDrake · **Reply #3517 on:** January 10, 2011, 05:58:43 PM

Hailey had entered the next room and there she saw him, in the middle of the room, Soundwave. She would recognize that AI anywhere. However,she did not even get a chance to speak as Soundwave was the first to speak instead.

"You are to cease your actions against Drake immediatly, or you shall face the consequences" Soundwave spoke, his tone unchanged as usual.

"And what, may I inquire, as to what the consequences would be, if I do not stop, hmm?" Hailey asked back, folding her arms at him

"Death, you have five seconds to comply"

"Five seconds? Well, that's not going to give me much time...." Hailey spoke, having already having used up the five seconds within her sentence.

"Desicion has been reached, you shall not leave this place alive" Soundwave spoke as his eyes flashed, turrets from the wall popping out.

Hailey's eyes widened somewhat "Oh....bollocks" was all she could say as she activated her powers and started to fire fireballs at the turrets as they fired back at her, all the while, she was on the move as to not get shot.

"Escape is inevitable" Soundwave spoke, remaining in the middle of the roomas he did so.

"Escape? What? You think I want to escape from all of this?" Hailey replied back as she continued to fight off the turrets as she did so.

Serris · **Reply #3518 on:** January 10, 2011, 08:04:24 PM

Gustave failed to notice that the woman had left.

"Gustave! Let's go!" Alfred said, pushing his mug away.

"I...I... I'm not done yet," Gustave slurred, shoving Alfred away.

Alfred nearly fell into the jukebox from the powerful shove. "Please, you're making a scene," he pleaded.

A massive Bison dressed in denim biker's jacket and blue jeans draped in chains and stomped up to Gustave, his heavy motorcycle boots shaking the floorboards. The Nile Crocodile woman was standing next to the massive man.

"That's the one! He's the one harassing me!" she shouted, pointing to Gustave.

The man slammed his massive fist on the countertop, making everyone's dishes and mugs jump. Luckily, the heavily reinforced countertop did not break under the powerful blow. He then glared at Gustave. "My girlfriend says you'se been givin' her trouble," he said coldly. His breath smelled of alcohol; had had also been drinking.

"I didn't start nothing," Gustave replied.

That was when Alfred stepped in. "Okay, fellas, let's calm down and relax," he said. "And I-"

Alfred never finished his sentence as the man punched him in the jaw, sending him reeling.

That was when Gustave stood up. "Hey s---face, if you want to fight me, do it but don't get my friends involved!" he growled. He then lunged at the man with his jaws open.

Alfred shook his head to try and refocus himself. He groaned, he was going to have to get Gustave out of the bar; a plan that usually involved him wading into the brawl as well.

Nick22 · **Reply #3519 on:** January 10, 2011, 08:09:56 PM

Roux! Teleports alfred and Gustave back to the hotel! You can teleport two people at once right?" aisha suggested "You need to do it quickly too, as things are really getting out of control..
