James nodded. "Sure!" he said, putting his newspaper down.-

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

Gustave placed the luggage on the floor. He turned to Roux, nodded and headed out of the cabin.

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

Alfred had his luggage - including his shotgun and ammo - already tucked away in the closet. He was currently watching an episode of Modern Marvels on TV.

"With pleasure" Aimee replied back, flexing her fists a little before pulling her right one back and punching the frozen Horseman, right in the face.

At first, nothing seemed to happen till a crack was head. It followed down War's body before spreading out. Nothing again happened as it stopped before it did happen. The ice broke off as War lunged forwad towards Aimee.

"It's not possible...." was all Aimee had said as she stepped backwards quickly to try and avoid War's reaching grasp.

War grabbed onto Aimee, but in the process something happened as his armor started to fall off, piece by piece. Yet, War ignore it for the time being as he lifted Aimee up by the throat.

Xanthus stepped over to Neku and Hailey rather casually as he spoke to them in a calm tone "I would suggest that you two go and help her, otherwise, War may very well still kill her"

Hailey narrowed her eyes at Xanthus "And yet, I don't see you doing anything about it" she sneered at him before she rushed forward towards War, her fists engulfed in flames as she swung at him, making him let go of Aimee as she continued to punch War in the face.

Shakila lay there for but a few more minutes before she coughed and grabbed the closest thing she could, which was Shelton's should and tightened her grip upon it as he eyes shot wide open.

She gasped for air as she did so before releasing her grip on his shoulder. She looked at Shelton and opened to speak "Took your sweet time to save my life...."

Roux smiled and sat on the bed, relaxing as soon as the door closed.
"Mmm...nice room..."
She murred, slowly slipping her panties off, grinning at Aisha...

Neku joined Hailey, flipping forward with several blade strikes at War...

War started to take on all three, using his sword to start to block each incoming attack that was being thrown at him as Aimee joined in as well. Even as War's armor was no more, he was still fighting them off until Aimee broke through and punched him in the face, causing the Horseman to stumble backwards some.

Hailey took the chance to strike War across the chest some with her own firey fists, opening him up so that Neku could then land his own attacks in on the Horseman.

Shelton smiled. "Oh, thank god." He tried to help her to her feet. "Can you stand? We need to make sure you stay awake for the next few hours, so don't stand unless you're sure it won't cause you to pass out."

"Uh, sure. Fine with me," Dr. Williams replied to Sharon with a smile.

StarfallRaptor · **Reply #4187 on:** May 29, 2011, 01:31:24 AM

Roux giggled and stretched out, curling her feet happily.
"I know, I know, Aisha~"
She giggled innocently, tail wagging...

Neku flipped over the girls, slashing at War with all three of his blades at once, electricity flaring around him...

Nick22 · **Reply #4188 on:** May 29, 2011, 01:40:56 AM

so have you picked out a novie yet" Aisha said pulling up the movie channel and bringing up the various films on offer..
landon finished unloading his things in the his room then headed back out with the others..

MrDrake · **Reply #4189 on:** May 29, 2011, 01:46:04 AM

War stumbled as he was struck, but still showed no signs of slowing as he begun to, once again, block each of Neku's attacks before Aimee grabbed onto War's arm, slamming her albow into his arm...which caused War to let go of his sword.

Aimee grabbed onto the sword, which was heavier than anticipated, yet, she still managed to hold it off the ground, albit a bit struggling to do so. She smirked at War as she spoke to Neku "I would suggest stepping back, I don't know what this sword'll do once the blade comes into contact with War here"

She lunged forward, the blade piercing War's chest as electricity, dark lectricity, started to surge from the sword.

War placed both hands onto the blade and attempted to push it out of him "No, I will not be beaten by a bunch of pathetic fleshlings" his eyes narrowed at Aimee.

Aimee pushed against the blade still, pushing it deeper into War still "Doesn't look like you have much of a choice....it ends now"

"Right now" Hailey added in, her eyes narrowed at War as she steped backwards, the electricity striking the area around them. She brought her arms up as the lightning struck near her.

A roar of sorts escaped War as he still tried to push against the blade, yet, it was starting to look like a stalemate against Aimee before Aimee pushed again, the blade going right through War's chest.

From the skies, a dark lightning bolt struck War and a rather powerful force of energy threw the three of them a few feet back as Xanthus stood in his place, holding his ground.

"It's not.....possible...." War stood for few seconds more before he fell to his kness and finally, onto his stomach....defeated.

Shakila nodded back to Shelton "Yeah, I can....I can stand" she told him as she stood up straight with a quick smile "Perhaps we should just get out of here before something else goes wrong"

aabicus (LettuceBacon&Tomato) · **Reply #4190 on:** May 29, 2011, 04:03:50 AM

Shelton nodded. "I have a plan for that. But first, you need to rest for at least five minutes. The antitoxin affects your motor control, and we need to get some clothes on you."

He took of his jacket and offered it to her. He also spied Calchas' pants and brought them over. If the the legs were rolled up and the belt tightened, it would stay on.

While he helped Shakila get dressed, he mentioned what he'd come to say. "I want to apologize for how I've acted to you since our breakup, and for putting you through that in the first place. I was so pleased to meet someone who thought like me, who shared the same technological interests that I did, that I didn't let my rationality limit how far things got. "

He sighed. "There are some other mistakes I've made recently that I'll never be able to seek forgiveness for, but I don't want that to happen with you. In short, I shouldn't have lashed out or blamed you for what happened, and while I don't think we should be in a romantic relationship again, I would like to be friends. Would that be all right?"

Sharon smiled. "Great!" She turned to James. "Could you pay? I want to talk to Anne about something."

MrDrake · **Reply #4191 on:** May 29, 2011, 07:11:16 AM

"I'm fine" Shakila snapped back at Shelton "Alright? I'm....I'm fine...." she added in with a slight groan and a rub of her head, yet, shook it and ignored it as if it were nothing "Can we just get out of here first and talk later alright?"

Right now, it just didn't seem like Shakila was in a talking mood, especially with what she had just gone through "I just want to find a nice place to rest up....and resting here is not an option I want to take right now okay?" she paused for a moment "How the hell did you get in the first place anyway?"

StarfallRaptor · **Reply #4192 on:** May 29, 2011, 09:38:50 PM

Roux giggled and wiggled.
"Mmm...I want to watch... This one!"
She said, pointing to one at random, tail waving eagerly...

Nick22 · **Reply #4193 on:** May 29, 2011, 09:43:32 PM

StarfallRaptor · **Reply #4194 on:** May 29, 2011, 10:30:53 PM

Roux smiled and wrapped her arms around Aisha as she got up.
"Mmm...No...I just wanna hold you right now, if that's okay..."
She said softly...

Nick22 · **Reply #4195 on:** May 29, 2011, 11:15:08 PM

Alright but first let me get the popcorn Aisha said, but as she reached her the popcor, she fet Roux's grip on her tighten " hold On a couple mnutes please..
_ Landon reached the SUV and waited for the others to join him..

StarfallRaptor · **Reply #4196 on:** May 30, 2011, 12:16:23 AM

Roux smiled a little, and nodded.
"S-sorry...I get a little...carried away sometimes..."
She said softly...

aabicus (LettuceBacon&Tomato) · **Reply #4197 on:** May 30, 2011, 01:51:45 AM

"Right, sorry, bad place to talk," Shelton agreed hurriedly. "Should have known that one."

He checked his watch. "It's been five minutes, if you can walk, then you should be stable enough to get out of here." <ROSS, is the coast clear?>

<As i said before, the security cameras are part of an isolated network, so I have no way of accessing them,> ROSS replied. <However, no Texas Base personnel have tweeted recently about visiting the hallway outside Dr. Babcock's laboratory.>

<Shut up,> Shelton grumbled. <Between the two of you...> "If we cut through the cells, we have a better chance of reaching the outside of the base before anyone gets suspicious," he said, unfolding a crude map which had been drawn on the back of a flight schedule. "Then we can contact Hawkeye for aid. But until we breach the base walls, we're on our own."

MrDrake · **Reply #4198 on:** May 30, 2011, 01:54:38 AM

As the smoke cleared, Xanthus walked over to War's body and crouched to examine it more closely "Impressive, using War's own weapon to kill him.....never would've anticipated that one....seemed like he was an unstoppable killing machine....till he was kill of course" he spoke to himself as he lookedat the blade that was now dead with energy, just like War was.

Hailey groaned as she got up from where she was. Unbeknowest to her, that her forehead was bleeding, yet, her intial incentive was to head over to Neku to see if he was alright.

Aimee in turn, sat up before she too, pulled herself to her feet as she walked over to Xanthus and War's body, her eyes looking to War's body "Well, that's one Horseman down, just three more to go, but that leaves the question on where they are, cause I doubt they're still in Vegas"

"This is gonna be fun...." Shakila scoffed a little bit as she started to walk off ahead of Shelton a bit, but yet, slow enough so that he could catch up to her.

aabicus (LettuceBacon&Tomato) · **Reply #4199 on:** May 30, 2011, 02:09:00 AM

Sharon turned to Anne once James had left. "Anne, I need to talk to you. It's about Zachary."

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

Shelton gasped as they pushed open the door to the cells. "What the hell happened in here?"

The cells were covered in black grit and the air was choked with ash, making the room even darker than it normally was. Death had not spared a single prisoner in his search for life force...
