"Listen, you don't have to come, you are better off getting your rest, besides, if you come with me and don't get any rest, you would just, in end, slow me down....no offense there, so please, just go with them and get some rest" Hailey told Neku with a smile "I'll be fine"

"You should listen to her Neku" Xanthus added in "You would be no good to anyone dead"

Hailey glanced over to Xanthus, then over to Aimee, then back to Neku as she gave him a smile along with a quick kiss on the lips as she turned to head off in order to find a diner.

Xanthus on the other hand, approached Neku as he just looked to him "Besides kid....I do need to talk to you about something....." he too glanced over to Aimee "But alone....and in case you are wondering what it's all about, it is to do with Hailey over there....and why it is you haven't killed her yet"

StarfallRaptor · **Reply #3761 on:** February 09, 2011, 05:30:13 PM

Neku's eyes narrowed.
"Why I haven't killed her yet? That should be obvious. I love her. Maybe you don't get it, but I won't be a puppet to anyone anymore."
He said, hand reaching for his sword hilt...

Neville stirred his coffee as he slid the cup to Kiara. "Coffee?" he asked gently.

Several soldiers and assorted civilian workers were passing by them. Some were also grabbing snacks to eat.

Alfred managed to keep a grip on the club but just barely.

Dr. Zanasiu raised his shotgun and prepared to fire. At the same time, Alfred wound up and swung for the creature's legs.

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

Gustave got out of the SUV. "I'm going to look for them."

He then entered the hotel.

Finding all the equipment he needed in a tool box, Shelton used a wire to connect the positive sides of the battery and electrical coil. "That should do it."

He forced the plastic casing off of the keyhole and jammed a screwdriver in there. Turning it like a key, he heard the engine rev to life.

<Get in, before it stalls and I have to do this again,> he told Kerzach. <Also, let me drive; there are live wires around the leg area, and I'm shorter and thinner than you are.>

(OOC: Actually looked up the second RP to check who's shorter.)

Xanthus gave off a small laugh at Neku's answer "Love? You love her? So, you've gone weak....having...feelings for someone just makes that person weak" he eyed Neku's blade for a moment "Then again, that's what I would expect from someone such as yourself, however, before things start to escalate and the likes, i do have another question, it is in regards to Hailey, tell me something Neku, what would you instead do, if you were asked to kill, say....Aimee over there hmm?"

He motioned over to Aimee "Would you do that? Even if it would mean, upsetting Hailey even more? Would you go out of your way to destroy this Anti-Dragonstorm group that she was....supposedly part of? Would you do such a thing, even if she asked you not too? Prove to me, how loyal you still are to Dragonstorm, that is....if you still are" he spoke to Neku, giving off a very quick grin to him in the process.

(OOC: I'll reintroduce Soundwave once again soon enough, but where, I'm not saying till I introduce him once again

Neku chuckled, shutting his eyes for a moment.
"You just don't get it, do you? Oruboros failed. Not a one of our cell carried through on betraying them. Ever since Pelendavia, they've been nothing but loyal and kind to us. Not a one among us would betray them."
He said, eyes snapping open...

Roux grinned as the creature passed her. In one fluid movement, she grabbed Alfred, teleported him away fromthe creature, and then reappeared in front of it with a kick to it's head...

Kagetora looked at his phone, sending another message to Kiara...
ïDoing fine here. How about you? Ribs okay? Don't believe any rumors you may hear about us. Love you

Xanthus just seemed to smile back at Neku, ever so slightly "Very wel, then if you say so, I'm not going to waste time arguing the matter any further, as I see that there would no need to do such a thing" he looked over to Neku "However, there is another matter I will argue, that Hailey had bought up, rest...as much as she is correct that rest wouldn't be best, I can tell that you need some rest, you've been though a bit of an ordeal by the looks of your eyes"

He looked over to Aimee and motioned for her to walk over to them "We should find another place to stay at for the night, and then in the morning, if Hailey has a plan, go with that on where to strike at Dragonstorm next"

"And why are you caring to take down Dragonstorm all of a sudden, hmm?" Aimee asked him, arching an eyebrow slightly.

"Those reasons are of my own concern at the moment, you do not need the details" Xanthus replied back.

Dr. Kerzach nodded and hopped into the passenger seat. The bag containing the body had been tossed into the bed and covered with a nearby blue tarp.

(Cornova, FL)

Alfred suddenly found himself in the parking lot. He was unable to arrest the swing of his club and he ended up whacking a handicapped parking sign. He hit the sign so hard that the table leg shattered, sending a fragment bouncing off his armored SUV and almost uprooting the sign.

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

Gustave was in the stairwell when he heard fighting. He peered out of the stairwell and saw Chase, Dr. Zanasiu and Roux.

"Chase!" he whispered. "Over here!"

At the same time, he looked for something that he could use as a weapon. His eyes fell on another table.

StarfallRaptor · **Reply #3768 on:** February 11, 2011, 12:59:35 PM

Neku smirked.
"I'm fine. Let's go. I need to see what I can do about this."
He said, gesturing to himself...

Roux smirked at the creature.
"C'mon, ugly. Think you can keep up?"
She taunted...

aabicus (LettuceBacon&Tomato) · **Reply #3769 on:** February 11, 2011, 06:04:04 PM

Shelton backed up the truck and drove it out of the garage. "So, how far away should we dump this thing?" he asked.

(New Peenemunde Harbor)

Alarms started to go off within the base. Upon a computer screen, something flickered and came to life on it. It looked around at what it had available for use. Soundwave had decided to make New Peenemunde Harbor his new base of operations.

And without a word, he went to work, starting up protocol after protocol, including activating some Dragonstorm experiments that had yet been activated in order to use them to his own advantage, to use them as his own workers in order to start to rebuild the Hydra, along with something else as well....

The predator made no effort to get around Roux. If she had ever made a thought about what she could do, it would know it too. He blazes along the top of the wall to lead her away...

----------

Chase looked when Gustave called his name, and his ears bent back in fear...

(New Peenemunde Harbor)

The alarms reached Ezekiel quickly, and screens kicked on immediately. Apparently, something had sneaked into the main system. "Has DS-AI2 been compromised by the virus?" he radioed in.

"Negative, sir," a reply came. "The professor has already prepared and disconnected the AI intelligence program from the main grid."

"Good... We need that in one piece. Now isolate all remote defense systems and databases to manual control and isolate the virus. The rebels could not have been able to achieve this so rapidly... If it's who I think it is... Soundwave, report..."

MrDrake · **Reply #3772 on:** February 12, 2011, 05:52:54 AM

Soundwave indeed did answer the call "You wish to know why it is I have decided to take control of matters myself?" he asked, getting straight to the point as the experiments continued to work away.

He paused for just a moment before speaking again "I shall share what it is you need to know with you. It is rather simple, my orders were clear to get to work on rebuilding the Hydra if anything were to happen to the previous creation, and since the Hydra's destruction, the most logical path is to use this facilities resources to rebuild the Hydra along with adding some personal improvements to it" he added on.

Dr. Kerzach shrugged. "Try about 50 miles."

He then turned on the radio. He was treated to a pounding techno beat.

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

(Cornova, NM)

Dr. Zanasiu looked at Chase. "Go with Gustave! He'll take you to safety!"

He then lowered his shotgun and ran after the predator. He took a shot at the predator and missed, blasting out a light in the process.

aabicus (LettuceBacon&Tomato) · **Reply #3774 on:** February 12, 2011, 08:59:04 PM

Shelton wrinkled his nose at the music, not because he had any particular distaste for techno, but because he knew it was the societally acceptable thing to do when hearing it.

After thirty to forty minutes of driving, he pulled off the road on a particularly barren stretch of land. Only now did he think to check and see if there was a shovel among the long-handled gardening equipment he'd glimpsed in the back.

He noted with displeasure that there was a rake, a hoe, and a pitchfork, but no shovel. Grabbing the next best thing, the hoe, he walked out and started pulling the body out of the back of the truck. "Looks like your talons have just become our primary digging apparatus."

(Somewhere in FL)

Dr. Kerzach looked around. The area was mostly overgrown with grass and there appeared to be no one around for miles. "Why not just leave him in the tall grass? No one will find him and if they do, they'll think it's just an ordinary murder."

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

(Cornova, NM)

Alfred got into his SUV. "Something's going after Chase and Dr. Zanasiu. Roux and Gustave are heading up to try and stop it and fetch Chase. And Roux just teleported me out here, midswing of my table leg."

Nick22 · **Reply #3776 on:** February 14, 2011, 01:00:09 AM

Great, \just freaking great.. and now we have to go help them out.. I was hoping we'd be on the road by now, but NOOOO" Aisha said sarcastically as she shoo her head..

aabicus (LettuceBacon&Tomato) · **Reply #3777 on:** February 14, 2011, 01:20:27 AM

Shelton glanced at the body. "I guess. I mean, we've got our fingerprints all over it and everything, but we're probably already screwed enough, being members of an illegal underground society and everything. Help me carry him."

(OOC: Sorry I don't play as Sharon much, I just don't really pay attention to the storyline she's involved in. If anyone who's more involved in James' team ever wants to post as her, remember she's a public domain character.)

Ezekiel paused, then pressed some illuminated keys. "You can resume your project here, in Hangar 6," he said. "If you require other resources, such as scientists, you will report to me first. You may have your protocols, but you will know that there are other vital projects that I will not allow to be jeopardized. The future of all Dragonstorm comes first. Am I clear?"

(New Mexico)

The predator leads the prey to the roof, the creature revealed to be a human-sized wolf spider...

Chase was reluctant, but nodded and ran to Gustave...

(OOC: Where's Shakila again? And do I still have the green light to snatch her?)

StarfallRaptor · **Reply #3779 on:** February 14, 2011, 10:20:45 AM

Roux looked around, smirking.
"The roof? How cliche."
She taunted, looking around herself...
