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

(OOC: I would imagine so, well, behind the yellow tape sort of thing, where everyone else is being spoken to and what have you)

"Do you know of anyone who is able to access the computer files? As I do need to cheek something, to see is a Selina Kyle, or a Gabriel, or even a Trinity has signed in, although, knowing this mysterious woman, she would probabally be going under, yet, another assumed name" he begun to think some more about it as he saw Alfred approaching, looking over to the clerk before walking over to Alfred.

Trinity just smirked to herself as she started to walk back to her car, a Ferrari, a red one in fact, glancing back to everyone else before noticing the van, the stolen one, recognizing it herself "My, looks like they were rather desperate to escape the Dragonstorm operatives"

"And I was so attached to the old place," Shelton mused sarcastically, "from the...five seconds I had to stare at it out the window."

He moved over to make room for whoever felt like sitting down.

The team makes a sweep of the room for signs of life, before sealing the hatch tight to prevent easy access from the outside, and then Aiko begins to set up his computer...

----------

Eron and Mallard cautiously step down the hall for the best choice of rooms, when they reached one with the door partially open.  Eron clips a silencer to the end of his handgun...

----------

"Finally..." Ariol said as he watched the scientist.  "Now to find a way to get him back here.  We've already lost three squadrons since these freak heroes showed up..."

----------

Dr Joe and her bodyguards were quick to find the hotel when it had burst into flame.  It took her no time to find the cars the others had taken, and found Zachary nearby.  "Good God...  I bet that was for you guys?" she asked when she stepped out of the car, not waiting for the others to join her.

"Dr. Joe? You're here too? It's like a reunion!" Shelton exclaimed. "I didn't see you the last time we invaded Pelvanida!"

Zachary nodded. "I believe it was for us," he said. He then gestured to Aimee. "Have you met Aimee?" he asked.

"Guys! Find Cpl. Stern!" Dr. Bailey ordered.

Neville and Spc. Crota dispersed to look for him.

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

Alfred noticed Jayden.

"Sir! I need to find the police officer known as Jayden. He requested that we contact him regarding something we found," he said.

"Ah, yes, you must be Alfred, I'm Jayden" Jayden spoke as he nodded his head to him "I take it that you have some information?"

***

Shakila on the other hand, had another look around before noticing Trinity again "That woman in the red dress...." she muttered to herself "Something about her feels strange....I mean, she is leaving  this place by the looks of things without much of a care...."

Alfred shook his head. "We lost all our information due to a an attack by someone named 'Trinity'," he said. "However, we found a friend of ours in a Dragonstorm van. He was posing as one of the snipers who tried to kill us en route from Lincoln City,"

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

Neville and Spc. Crota returned.

"No sign of Cpl. Stern," Spc. Crota said.

"You don't think..." Dr. Zanasiu's voice trailed off.

"It's a real possibility," Hans replied.

"Hmm, it seems like this Trinity woman wants you dead, do you have any idea on what you have done to get her to attack you lot?" Jayden asked Alfred next, trying to figure out a few things in his head.

***

Shakila thought for a moment as she then decided to approach the woman in the red dress.

Trinity heard footsteps approaching her from behind, and only smirked ever so lightly as she turned and saw that it was Shakila "Yes? May I help you?"

"Well, sort of, I was wondering if you know of the attack that happened moments ago in the hotel" Shakila replied back, looking around to see that the two of them were a fair amount of distance away from the others "We're just trying to solve some mysteries is all"

Trinity looked at Shakila, looking behind her to the crowd, noticing that they were too busy talking to everyone else before looking back to Shakila once more, pulling her dress up a little bit and pulling out what was a gun strapped to her leg one that had a silencer on as she quickly grabbed Shakila by the mouth to stop her from yelling out as she slammed her against the car "Now, not a word girl, I know you're with Aimee over there" she begun.

Shakila's eyes widened, already realizing who it was, a muffled voice coming from her, attempting to talk.

Trinity placed a finger to her own mouth in a quieting manner, aiming at Shakila's foot with her gun before pulling the trigger, shooting her in the foor.  She then opened up her car door and shoved her inside, shutting it and walking around to the drivers door, sitting down, looking into the rear view mirror to look at Shakila "Oh, come now, it's only a flesh wound, I'm sure of it, besides, I need you alive.....gives them more of a reason to come look for me" she chuckled, starting up her car, looking over at the group in the distance, smirking some more to herself.

Shakila was just laying there on the back seat, clutching her foot in imense pain from it being shot, blood already dripping out from the wound too.

***

Aimee took a look around, noticing that Shakila was now missing "Guys....we're missing Shakila, she was here a minute ago"

Alfred shook his head. "She contacted us via a television in an abandoned house in Lincoln City. She left behind a DVD and she also mentioned someone named 'Kain'. Also that was where we first found mention of Weyland-Yutani," he said. "Also, the gate to the house was locked so I ended up having to rip the gate off its hinges with my bare hands. Yet, the house was unlocked," he added.

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

Dr. Bailey swore. "Damn it! First Cpl. Stern. Now Shakila," he said.

"Hans! Werner! Sgt. Masters! You look for Shakila! Spc. Crota, Cobalt Leader and the two Cobalt soldiers, Neville! You look for Cpl. Stern," Dr. Zanasiu ordered.

The aforementioned people dispersed around the parking lot of the hotel.

"Excuse me officer," Sgt. Masters said to a Human police officer near the exit of the hotel. "Have you seen someone named Shakila? She's a black furred Cat. She appears to be in her teens."

"Kain?" Jayden though again for a moment "This seems to complicate things even more, but I can't say I've heard of a Kain before" however, that's when he heard everyone else going on about Shakila now missing.

The police officer shook his head back at Sgt. Masters "No, I can't say that I have seen her around"

***

Trinity turned around in her seat, grabbing Shakila by the top of her head fur rather roughly to show her how everyone was now getting worried "Look at them, starting to worry their heads about you" she laughed as she removed her wig and grabbed a spare rag to wipe off the makeup from her face.

Shakila grunted a little bit as she struggled out of Trinity's grip, quickly banging her fists on the window to try and get their attention before turning to Trinity "Just wait till they get their hands on you"

"Oh, I'm counting on that soon enough, but not yet.....there's still, oh so much fun left to do" Trinity laughed back as she then reeved the engine in her car.

***

Aimee looked over at the reeving car and saw Shakila and noticed who was driving "Trinity...." she growled as she begun to run towards the car.

Trinity smirked as she pressed her foot down on the accelerator and took off once Aimee got close enough.

Aimee seemed to hessitate at that point before rushing to a nearby police car, smashing the window open to be able to enter the car more easily.  She had no idea on how to drive herself, but that wasn't going to stop her from chasing down Trinity, frantically searching the car for a car key, but to no avail.

Alfred turned his head at the sound of a powerful engine revving. He spotted someone frantically pounding at the back window but he could not see who it was before it sped down the road. "Jayden! We've got a kidnapping!"

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

"Hey! What are you doing!?" a nearby police officer demanded as soon as he saw Aimee smash the window on the nearest police cruiser.

Zachary's head turned at the sound of Aimee smashing the window. "Aimee? Guys! Aimee's trying to steal a cop car!" he shouted.

"What?!" Dr. Bailey said.

He, Dr. Zanasiu and Zachary were still by the stolen van.

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

"Hey! Shakila's in the back seat of that Ferrari!" Sgt. Masters shouted. He along with Hans and Werner were on the opposite side of the exit of the hotel, near Alfred and Jayden.

"How do you know?" Hans asked.

"Heat sensing ability."
 
"Another car chase?"

"Afraid so."

Out of complete frustration, Aimee turned and punched the police officer right in the face before reaching over and grabbing his keys from him, inserting it into the ignition, turning the key and placed a foot on the accelerator, however, she rammed into the police car in front of her before putting it in reverse and turning a bit to get out of the spot, almost hitting someone behind her before putting it back in first gear and started to drive off.

***

Jayden nodded to Alfred "Alright, you guys catch up to her, I'll try and make sure that anyone else doesn't interfeer....cause you know how they can be like" he told the group.

***

As Trinity was driving, she smirked as she looked into the rear view mirror, seeing a cop car pull into view along the road and seeing who was driving it, not the best, but still not bad either, it was Aimee "Oh, now this is defiently going to be fun" Trinity spoke with a bit of a laugh.

Shakila had no real choice, but to hold it out, holding onto the seat as she didn't want to try anything, least she causes the car to roll and crash, which is something she didn't want to do while she was in the car.

Shelton climbed out of the van and sprinted to the group. "What is wrong with that fox woman?" he asked. "All she's done is go insane, at least since I've met her."

Sgt. Masters slithered up to Shelton.

"Sorry for failing to introduce myself before but I am Sgt. Larry Masters," Sgt. Masters said.

Sgt. Masters looked around for more threats.

"Shelton, Aimee has proven to be a valuable ally even if she does do things a bit...unconventionally," Dr. Zanasiu said.

"We may have to leave without Cpl. Stern," Hans said.

Neville, Spc. Crota, and the remainders of Cobalt Squad returned.

"We can't find him," Neville said.

Dr. Zanasiu bowed his head. "Rest in peace, Cpl. Thomas Stern. You will never be forgotten," he said.

Zachary, Dr. Bailey bowed their heads in respect. Neville, Sgt. Masters, Spc. Crota, Cobalt Squad and the Cobalt soldiers saluted in respect to the fallen soldier.

"Didn't introduce myself either, mate," Shelton shook his head. "Rudyard, but I go by Rudy."

He listened to James. "Okay, but let's make sure to stress that I'm not in Dragonstorm's side and never was. I do not want to end up like that police officer."

Aimee started to approach Trinity's car, that is, until Trinity sped up some more, turning a corner, to which Aimee followed suit, cutting across the corner and swerving out of traffic in the process, her heart racing in the process too.

Trinity was just smirking to herself "Hold on.....we're going to take a detour" she told Shakila.

Shakila looked ahead to see a mall in the distance "A mall? Are you insane?"

Trinity just smirked some more as she sped up some more, heading right for the mall, speeding through the parking lot.

Aimee seemed to hessitate before shaking her head and continued to follow Trinity, doing her best to keep the cop car going well.

Trinity soon, crashed through the front doors of the mall, people screaming in the process as she begun to drive through the mall, Aimee following not that far behind.

Aimee in turn, started to punch the windscreen, in order to break it, one hand on the wheel to keep the vehicle straight.

People continued to try and get out of the way, yet, some people were in fact killed by Trinity's car as she hit them without a care before soon, exiting the mall via the back doors.

Aimee managed to get the windscreen to fall off the car as she too had exited the mall, still doing her best to keep up with Trinity's car.

Back at Culeston's police headquarters, dispatchers were dealing with a flood of 911 calls from the destruction that Trinity wreaked in Culeston mall.

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

"I guess you're Shelton," Sgt. Masters said.

"Worry about intros later, we've got to chase down Trinity," Dr. Bailey said.

"I can take 5 people in my car," Neville said. "There's also a shotgun and some ammo in the trunk,"

"I can take 4 people riding in my truck and 2 people riding in the bed," Alfred said.

"I'll take the rest in the van," Zachary said.

Aimee continued to follow Trinity still, doing what she could to avoid traffic in the process, taking a tight turn....and that's when it happened, the car rolled over as traffic in turn, swerved aside in order to not get hit by the rolling police car.

Trinity swerved around to stop in the middle of the road, watching the police car in question, soon, slide to a halt, a few feet away from her own car.  She then stepped out of the car, gun in hand as she approached the toppled over police car.

Aimee was in much pain now, mainly around her face, which in turn, was covered in blood a bit as she crawled out of the opening she had made earlier on, before stumbling to her feet.

"So, is this all you could do? Attempt to chase me down and in the end, only hurting yourself?" Trinity asked with her arms out to the side a bit, approaching Aimee "Really now, and here I thought you were much more compentant than this"

Aimee gave off a growl as she stood there, doing what she could to stay standing up, but was feeling a bit weak as well as she looked to Trinity, her fist clenched "Let Shakila go" was the first thing she had spoke up.

"Oh, come now, I'm sure this is much more than your simple little friend, I know what you really want" Trinity smirked as she continued to approach Aimee still "You're really after me, your friend in there, bah, you don't really care for her, now do you?"

"Shut up" Aimee growled back some more as she then lunged at Trinity, the best she could in order to to punch Trinity.

Trinity just gave off a laugh as she managed to duck under the punch and placed her gun to Aimee's stomach "Now....don't move, I'm sure Kain would love to have another talk with you soon enough" she moved her gun down and shot Aimee right in the thigh, causing Aimee to fall down to her knees in much pain now before punching the vixen right in the face, using her gun hand.

Omega Squad arrived on the scene. These particular soldiers wore very heavy armor and their faces were completely invisible underneath their armored helmets. A barely audible whirring as the soldiers moved hinted that they were wearing powered exoskeletons. Several of the soldiers carried advanced net launchers and laser rifles.

"We were dispatched to catch Deathwind," Omega Leader said, flipping up his visor to reveal a Golden Retriever.

"Yes, he's in the depths of the ship," a scientist said, not looking up from the console that displayed Deathwind's location.

Dr Joe put a hand on Dr Zanasiu's shoulder and handed him an electronic pad with the other.  "This is what I've been meaning to give to you as soon as we knew you were up here.  It has everything we've managed to find on Dragonstorm that we could break through, and you can talk with Crimson Base directly."

----------

"Do not return without him," Ariol ordered walking past them, and then stopped.  "And when you get him back, make sure Dr Tsang dies slowly and painfully.  It's time I handle with these intruders my own way..."
