There was a long pause before Soundwave did actually answer back "Very well, I shall abide by your rule for the time being" was all he said before cutting the communication himself, only so that he could get back to work with what he was doing, moving what was already built into the hanger that was given to him for his personal use.

***

Kiara in turn, was busy having a wander around herself, using the walking stick given to her to steady herself as she had a small wander around the base, but in particular, was trying to find one certain area, hoping that the base had said area.

A firearms training place....

(OOC: Shakila is around, but she keeps on getting lost in everything, so where exactly she is, I've no clue)

(OOC: I think she's with James' team for the time being in....Texas? How many authors are actually still with James' team at this point?)

(OOC - Shakila is in one of the SUVs in the parking lot of a Cornova, NM hotel.)

(Cornova, NM)

Gustave effortlessly picked Chase under one arm and ran down the stairs. For a large guy he was pretty damn fast. "Sorry about this, but we need to haul ass."

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

Meanwhile, Dr. Zanasiu had followed the predator to the roof. He trained his shotgun at the predator. "You and me."

He then leveled his weapon at the predator and fired.

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

(Somewhere in FL)

Dr. Kerzach pushed the body off the truck of the bed and moved the grass to conceal it.

"All right, let's go buy something so it looks like we just went to buy goods instead of dumping a body," he said, getting in the passenger's side door.

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

(Crimson Base, UT)

Neville finished up his coffee and went to look for the firing range. Better hone up on my shooting. he thought.

After several minutes of looking, he managed to get himself lost.

Luckily, he stopped a passing soldier who pointed him in the right direction.

On his way there, he passed Kiara. "Kiara, I'm heading out to the target range. Gotta keep my skills sharp. But anyway, you wanna to have a competition?"

Luckily, the blush on his face was hidden by his green scales and Kiara could not see his tail twitching excitedly.

Dr landon Tried to take a short rest in the back seat of the SUV. "Wake me when the others get back, and we get on the Road " He yawned > " or failing that, just wake me when we are at our next destination.

((Unknown Location, Oruboros remnant's vehicles.))
Kagetora sighed, looking around.
"Alright, no offense to you guys, but I have to go see Kiara. I'm worried about her. I'll...be back at some point, I'm sure."
He said, quickly weaving some hand signs, vanishing and reappearing in front of the Utah Base.
"Well, this is where she was last..."
He said, approaching the facility...

Roux looked at Dr. Zanasiu, shaking her head.
"Doc, no offense, but let me take care of this one! I can keep up with it. So just let me do this!"
She said, never taking her eyes off the predator...

Serris · **Reply #3785 on:** February 15, 2011, 02:33:00 AM

"Thanks, Roux. Should I go take the others?" Dr. Zanasiu asked. He then quickly bolted down the stairs. Granted, he did feel like he was missing out on the adrenaline rush of combat but he quickly reminded himself that now was not the time.

(New Mexico)

The pellets shot were fast, but not fast enough as Project Stalker effortlessly dodged them. He then shot off sailing through the air until he landed on an SUV, Shakila's SUV. The impact shattered the strong glass...

----------

A dagger suddenly whizzed past Zanasiu from the bottom of the stairs, embedding itself in the wall behind him.

"Going somewhere?" said a dark voice, the source being Project Breathtaker. The door behind him had been wedged shut with another dagger...

----------

(Crimson Base)

The soldier spotted Kagetora on the site. Their orders were clear. Shots rang out from soldiers on foot and in patrol vehicles, while reinforcements were rushing in to assist...

MrDrake · **Reply #3787 on:** February 15, 2011, 08:22:04 AM

Kiara had found what she was looking for and already started up the training, moving the paper target back to a good distance before she aimed her gun and fired a few shots at it.

After the shots were fired, she bought the target back and found she had missed what she was aiming at and sighed, replacing the target and going again, moving it back and started to fire at it again.

***

(Las Vegas)

Xanthus looked to Neku and gave him a nod "Very well then, this way" he spoke as he looked to Aimee for just a moment before heading off ahead of the two of them as he started to make his way towards the nearest motel.

***

Hailey found a diner and was already sitting down at a table with a coke she had ordered in a tall glass. She reached into her pocket and pulled out a map of the United States as well as a pen and started to mark off locations on there, circling Las Vegas in general as well as jotting down a few notes onto the map.

***

(Cornova)

Shakila had popped out her head slightly from where she was situated, but yet, she had just kept quiet as she kept her laptop at her side. She had decided it was best not to move at the moment with the predator on the loose.

StarfallRaptor · **Reply #3788 on:** February 15, 2011, 10:14:31 AM

Roux cursed, teleporting after Project Stalker, knives aimed at it's back as she appeared above it...

Kagetora reacted quickly, drawing both his sword and deflecting any bullets that came close to him. He waved his tair as he moved, a white cloth wrapped around it as a makeshift flag...

Shelton observed the body from several angles. No matter how he looked at it, it still looked like something large was lying in the grass, but it was sufficiently obscured that people driving by would probably assume it's a rock or a bag of regular garbage. "Okay," he agreed. "We'll go shopping around and bring back something military. Maybe something that could conceivably help us with our mission. Do we have a mission right now?"

(Somewhere in FL)

Dr. Kerzach scratched his head. "Nope."

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

(Cornova, NM)

Cobalt Squad immediately leapt from their SUV with their weapons at the ready. Cpl. Stern, Hans and Werner followed suit. A hail of pistol, rifle and shotgun rounds flew towards the predator.

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

Gustave saw what was going on in the parking lot. He immediately doubled back into the hotel and hid in the laundry room, which was thankfully unlocked.

"Chase, we'll hide here," he said. "

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

Dr. Zanasiu looked at Breathtaker.

"Yeah," he deadpanned. "Leaving."

He then suddenly raised his shotgun and fired at Breathtaker. He had about four rounds left.

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

Alfred frowned. "That does it! I'm looking for James!"

He then opened the tailgate of the SUV, grabbed his shotgun and started loading shells into it. He pocketed some additional shells as well.

When he was done he charged into the lobby with his shotgun in plain view.

"Sir, you can't bring that in here," the clerk said.

"Listen wise guy, one of my friends just got on the bad side of some street punk. If you think I'm going to leave him alone. You got another think comin'!" Alfred snarled.

Needless to say, the clerk backed down at the enraged colossus that was Alfred.

When he reached a nearby door, he was surprised to find it jammed. He then kicked the door as hard as possible. The impact was so strong that it actually bent the door's hinges. When the door still did not give way, he kicked it again.

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

(Crimson Base, UT)

Neville checked the safety on his MP5 submachine gun after he slid in a 15-round magazine. He then took a breath and fired a quick three round burst at a target a few meters away.

The sound of the other soldiers and Kiara using the shooting range echoed around him. He was thankful he had gotten some earplugs.

(OOC - Dr. Williams and Sharon are in different SUVs but assume they used the intercom to talk to each other.)

Stalker was a second ahead of them all again. He barrel-rolled to the opposite side of the vehicle to dodge Roux, then flipped the car to its side, the roof exposed to the oncoming fire. Thankfully, the car was armored, so no one still inside would be in danger of bullets...

----------

The buckshot (I think) passed through Breathtaker and shattered bricks behind him, but there were no injuries. The assassin experiment smirked and shook his head, before he closed the distance, bringing his larger fighting dagger at Zanasiu sideways...

...but would pass in front of Zanasiu's face, a taunting gesture, and distracting as Breathtaker spun to back-kick the scientist in the torso...

----------

Chase was by the door. "I think it wanted me..." he said.

----------

(Crimson Base)

The firing stopped, but more soldiers arrived with grenade launchers and airburst weapons, all ready to fire on the intruder.

General Sterm, in the control tower, was not pleased. He presses into the intercom, where Kagetora would hear. "There are orders to kill you and your spy cohorts on the spot," he said. "What do you want this time?"

----------

Some of the soldiers in the firing range got word of the incident above ground, and rushed out of the room...

aabicus (LettuceBacon&Tomato) · **Reply #3792 on:** February 16, 2011, 06:09:51 AM

Shelton shrugged, and climbed back into the truck. "Well, I'm in no hurry to get back. Longer I can stay away from those creeps, the better."

(OOC: I'll just cut it, they can have the conversation at a later date, when they're together. It's more of a dinner conversation that something crucial or immediate)

(also, I thought Hans and Werner left to go indoctrinate the surviving terrorists into modern society?)

StarfallRaptor · **Reply #3793 on:** February 16, 2011, 10:33:48 AM

Kagetora held his hands up.
"One, we're not your enemies. And I came to see a dear friend of mine. So if you'd please have your forces stand down..."
He said, eyes fixed on the General...
__________________________________________________________________________________

Roux flipped over the vehicle, vanishing and reappearing behind it, swiping at it with one of her knives...

Serris · **Reply #3794 on:** February 16, 2011, 08:50:49 PM

(OOC - Hans and Werner did not leave as they have no transport out.)

Dr. Zanasiu had the wind knocked out of him by the kick. He managed to hold on to his shotgun but just barely. He suddenly heard the door below him rattling. "Now what?"

Suddenly the door flew off its hinges as Alfred kicked it one last time, completely destroying the hinges, lock and pretty much the entire door.

"Doc! We've got to get out of here this instant!" he shouted.

"No s---!" Dr. Zanasiu replied bitterly.

Alfred then caught sight of Breathtaker and raised his shotgun.

"Don't bother. Bullets pass through him."

Alfred lowered his gun. "Great. And I guess that means I can't plant a boot up his ass either?"

Mirumoto_Kenjiro · **Reply #3795 on:** February 17, 2011, 01:47:22 AM

(New Mexico)

"No," Breathtaker replied, "but you can both die..." He quickly feinted left towards Alfred, grinding his dagger up the outside of the shotgun barrel to shower a spray of sparks into his eyes...

----------

Stalker jumped into the bottom of the car, planting one end of his titanium-strength webbing onto it, then leaped over Roux. The webbing stretched, but the car was soon dragged behind it towards Roux...

----------

(Crimson Base)

(OOC: Kagetora can't see the general from where he's standing.)

"No one's putting their weapons down," General Sterm replied on the intercom. "Give the name of your friend..."

Serris · **Reply #3796 on:** February 17, 2011, 09:20:56 PM

Alfred used one hand to block against the spray of sparks. His thick skin and heavily callused hands prevented him from feeling much. Ignoring Dr. Zanasiu's advice, he took a blind shot at Breathtaker. And in the process, he nearly shot Dr. Zanasiu.

"Al! Watch where you're shooting!" he shouted. He then recovered enough from the kick to run down the stairs.

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

Spc. Crota reloaded his rifle and shot at Stalker.

Hans was busy reloading his shotgun.

Cpl. Stern fired his last shots at Stalker before he had to reload.

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

Zachary was getting his rifle ready as well. He rapped on the window of the SUV containing Aisha and Dr. Landon. "Guys! Dragonstorm's after us!" he shouted, slapping the magazine into his M4 carbine.

Nick22 · **Reply #3797 on:** February 17, 2011, 09:33:40 PM

Aisha and Dr Landon soon climbed out of the vehicle. " Great! When did they find us? Aisha asked 'Miust have been pretty recent Landon said " Lets get rid of our pursuers than get the heck out of here. Lead the way Zachary..

StarfallRaptor · **Reply #3798 on:** February 21, 2011, 10:33:03 AM

Roux vaulted away, teleporting away from the car, reappearing on the other side of it, knives ready.
"Tch. C'mon, ugly. Is that all you got?"
She said, lips curling back in a snarl...
____________________________________________________________________________

Kagetora flicked a ear irritatedly.
"Her name's Kiara. Now, as I said, I'm not your enemy. We should focus on Dragonstorm, not each other."
He said calmly...

MrDrake · **Reply #3799 on:** February 21, 2011, 05:55:16 PM

Hailey had been at the diner for a few hours now, the map in question had many, many notes scribbled on it in all places, but she was still rather lost on where the targets she was after, could even be. She let off a groan as she tapped the pen on the table as she continued to give it even more thought.

***

At the motel, Xanthus got a single room for the four of them to share, with only one bed available, which Aimee already had to question him about "We only have....one bed, and there are four of us...."

"That would mean some would have to sleep on the couch and the floor, now would it?" Xanthus argued back to her somewhat as he looked over to Neku "Now, like I said, you should go and get some rest, I doubt Hailey would be back anytime soon"

***

Kiara remained in the targeting range still, replacing the target everytime she was finished with a round of bullets, as each time she had finished, she still wasn't as sharp as she would like to be as it was.

(OOC: If you wish to now, Shakila can be kidnapped)
