The Gang of Five
Howdy, everyone!

As you know, the forum has been fighting spammers and bots for years. We have seen our fair share of "Custom Kitchens UK", scammy Internet hosting companies, and bots trying to send us to a business's homepage. But after fighting the tidal wave of spam for so many years, the admins had a persistent thought: what if the spammers are right? Not in terms of posting nonsense links and trying to scam our users, but in trying to make money through our unique platform?

Well, thanks to the helpful counsel of Taunt, we have finally decided to move the forum in a new direction. Please see his important post on the matter in this topic

Aimee shot a light glare in the direction of Aisha "You have no idea what just happened here.....no idea at all" her fists clenched up again as she looked to the officer before looking back to Aisha once more "You would be the same if the one you were after had slipped away from your grasp"

The officer was about to say something, only to have Aimee snap back at him "Not a word at all, I don't want any of your help, I don't need your help" she let off another grumble as she pushed the officer aside and started to walk off.

The officer in question was still a cadet as well, so he was still learning on what to do in these sort of situations as he wasn't even sure if he should take Aimee into custody or no, especially after being pushed like that, so for now, he just stood there with a rather lost look upon his face.

Aimee stopped where she was upon hearing Aisha, going quiet at first before speaking "She was the one I was after, she was there with Kain, she has some sort of connection to him, and if you must know, Kain was the one that gave me my cybernetic arms....Gabriel....or should I say....Trinity...."

The cadet was quiet at first as he looked to the other preoccupied police officers before looking to Aisha, then looking to Aimee "If it's of any help, I wont say a word to the other police officers, as I can tell what you're after now, a story of revenge by the sounds of it anyway" he thought for a second "Perhaps I could ask to take this case on and any information I find, I can pass onto you"

Aimee turned around at that point, looking at the cadet a little confused "Why? Why would you do that?"

"Let's just say that I may not know hat you have actually been through, but if you are after the one who had done that to you, then it must have been rather terrible" the cadet told her back.

Aimee seemed to be a bit reluctent at first with what the cadet was offering as she looked over to the other police officers once again, then to Aisha to see what she had to say about it.

"That my notes and all were stolen from me....she stole them" Aimee told Aisha, sounding a little annoyed still.

The cadet folded his arms to think as he looked to the two females "What kind of notes did you have?"

"Personal things...." Aimee grumbled, not wanting to go into any details about what were actually on her notes "But all I know is that she has orders from Kain to get me killed, something about outliving my....usefulness...."

Deathwind was losing his temper.  He snapped the soldier he had in his grip by the neck and tossed the body over.  These vermin are in his way...

----------

Down below, Vic looked to see what was happening.  "We may have a chance to move," he whispered, turning his head to a hatch on the other side of the well.  It was because of the Dragonstorm on top of them that they couldn't risk getting out in the open to get through the door.  "Let's watch for what happens next..."

----------

While Floe Rider is getting within reach of the supertanker, the tugboat is being followed just out of radar range by a Navy stealth frigate.  Crimson Base has no intention of letting the lab escape...

Chi Squad left Deathwind alone and let him pass.

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

Cpl. Stern, Cobalt Leader and the two Cobalt soldiers had managed to convince the officers to release Alfred, Dr. Zanasiu, Zachary and Dr. Bailey.

"Do you know where she went?" Dr. Zanasiu asked.

"We'll go after her; mark our words," Cobalt Leader asked.

"Aimee," Cpl. Stern said gently, "would you prefer to return to Culeston or would you prefer to help us catch the woman?"

"If you are going after her, then I'm going with you, I need some proper answers from her" Aimee replied back to Stern, seeming to flex her paws as well "Although, I would rather do it on my own....she is of my concern" she rubbed her forhead a little after that, as if she had a headache as well "And once I catch her...." Aimee then trailed off after that as she wasn't even sure herself what she was going to do when she would catch Trinity once again.

A moment of hesitation gave Crimson Team the chance they needed...

Eron pulled two grenades and tossed them at the turnoff...

Snow, pulling her confidence back together, turned and hurled fireballs up at Deathwind's back, knocking him forward almost off his feet.  The rest of the team went out at once to send a concentrated circle of gunfire at the one point, none of the bullets penetrated his exoskeleton but the sudden kinetic energy pushed him further forward.  They got the hatch open and filed one-by-one into the next hall...

Deathwind, his poisonous stingers still not retracted fell into the Dragonstorm soldiers...

Deathwind's powerful paralyzing venom instantly stunned all the Dragonstorm soldiers except Rho Leader who was barely missed by one of the stingers.

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

"We could simply hand her over to the police," Alfred replied.

"Or we can simply interrogate her, then hand her over," Dr. Zanasiu added.

"Or we can interrogate her, then shoot her and dump her body in an alleyway," Zachary whispered.

"Guys, let's catch this woman then decide her fate," Dr. Bailey replied.

"One problem. Where the hell did she go?" Cobalt Leader asked.

As everyone was talking, Aimee looked around before her eyes stopped "If we were at a stand still there....she tossed the gun to me and took off....then she had to have gone that way...." she muttered to herself, stepping back onto the crime scene and taking one more look around.

She did not like how everyone else was talking as if they were going to take care of her, as that's not something she wanted as she begun to walk off in the direction to where she had believed Trinity had taken off towards.

The police had pulled away from the scene, taking the gun as evidence.

Dr. Zanasiu, Alfred, Zachary, Dr. Bailey, Cobalt Leader, the two Cobalt soldiers and Cpl. Stern followed Aimee, Aisha and Dr. Landon.

"Aisha, I have a feeling that this woman may lead us to Lab 101," Dr. Bailey said.

"Right you are," Dr. Zanasiu said. "Remember, we want to take her alive if possible so we can interrogate her. Keith, your pepper spray will come in handy."

Dr. Bailey pulled out the canister of pepper spray he had in his pocket. "Well, it's better than nothing. But why couldn't I have gotten a Taser?" he asked.

"Tasers and their cartridges are expensive. We're trying not to break the bank when it comes to supplies," Zachary replied.

I don't want to add to my bill .. if I can help it' Aisha said Dr landon frowned " We must get as much info out of Trinity as possible.. as for her fate, a lifetime behind bars seems apropo.

"I don't want to kill her yet.....and if anyone is going to kill her, I want to do that....she will pay for what has happened to me...." Aimee spoke up as she continued to walk onwards, a few steps ahead of everyone else as she stopped upon coming to a fence.

On the fence was a piece of paper, to be specific, one of the articles Aimee had originally, a knife holding it to the fence "She was here...." she took the knife off and grabbed the article as it something was written on it in black vivid "If you go down this path.....you wont like what you find....."

Aimee then looked at everyone else, showing it to them as well "Well, I guess we have some sort of lead on her....but not much really...." she spoke with a little shrug as well.

"Let's go after her!" Zachary said.

"You do realize that we're almost totally unarmed?" Dr. Zanasiu said. "My shotgun's back at the hotel, your rifle is back at the hotel and-"

"We are still armed," Cobalt Leader said, drawing his pistol. The two Cobalt soldiers and Cpl. Stern did the same.

Alfred went up to the gate and noticed that it was secured with a padlock and a chain. "Locked, but that's not a problem," he said grabbing the gate and tearing it off its hinges.

"Damn," Cobalt Leader said.

Aimee let off a rather light growl as she approached who had guns "Were you not listning? I don't want her dead or anything like that, so no weapons" she practically ordered them, sounding rather annoyed as it was as she walked past Alfred as he had just torn the gate off.

"Guys, take the woman alive, anyone else, shoot them," Cobalt Leader said.

"Having several guns pointed at someone tends to encourage them to surrender. We're hoping the woman decides to surrender instead of trying to shoot it out," Cpl. Stern said, following Aimee along with the Cobalt soldiers and Cobalt Leader.

Dr. Bailey had his pepper spray out and cautiously followed them.

Dr. Zanasiu, Zachary and Alfred bought up the rear.

Aimee just grumbled to herself as she kept quiet with what everyone else was saying as she walked forward some more before seeing another note on the other news article "Turn back now, you're going the wrong way" was all the note had said as Aimee grabbed her head, something flashing in her mind as she stumbled around a little bit, falling to her knees, her head still clutched.

She was having a flashback, one that was more than just images, but an actual flashback, which was to do with none other than Trinity and Kain.

***

In the flashback, it had Trinity watching the procedure of Aimee's removal of her normal vulpine arms as Aimee just screamed in pain "Shouldn't she be asleep while you do this?" Trinity asked Kain.

"My dear, doing such a thing would be a waste of time.....I have no time to waste waiting for something to simply fall asleep with anesthetics or whatever" the reptile, known as Kain replied back to her as he walked over to a trolly that was bought in.

Trinity looked over to the trolly, her arms folded "What are those? Might I ask anyway"

"Cybernetic arms, I'm going to attach them to this wretched vulpine here" Kain begun as Trinity spoke again.

"For what purpose?" she then asked him.

"Science my dear Trinity, if this is a sucess, then I can move onto my next project, but for now, that is going to remain a secret, I wouldn't want to ruin the suprise" Kain spoke back as he grabbed one of Aimee's arms and tossed it to another reptoid and her other arm to a second one "Get rid of these for me"

***

Aimee was now on the ground, on her stomach, seeming to be out cold at first before she moved her arms to push herself up, sitting down onto the ground, staying quiet for the time being.

"I've got a bad feeling about this," Dr. Bailey said.

"We don't have a choice," Dr. Zanasiu replied. "This is literally our only chance helping Aimee and finding Dragonstorm."  

Cpl. Stern noticed that Aimee was sitting on the ground. "Aimee, is something the matter?" he asked.
