Darwin's Soldiers: Disruptive Selection

Dr. Wayne waved at Azrael. "Hello, do you know what happened to this place?" she asked.

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

Ajax started the SUV's engine and pulled out of the motor pool just behind Dr. Branston's lead SUV.

"Well Simpson, at least we've got the Potato Farm waiting for us," he said.

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

"Alfred! We're losing time! Hurry!" Gustave shouted.

Hans, Werner, Cpl. Stern, Aydin, Dr. Zanasiu, Zachary, Cobalt Squad and Dr. Bailey were in the nearest Chinook helicopter.

Alfred ran over to the helicopter, he was breathing very heavily. "Jayden and Kiara are missing," he panted out.

"I'll go look for them," Sgt. Masters said. He then slithered out of the helicopter.

"I'll go with him," Gustave said.

Sgt. Masters closed his eyes and scanned with his infrared vision. He swore as the numerous fires essentially blinded him. "Gustave! You're on your own. I can't see anything," he shouted.

Gustave swore and ran towards the lab, en route, he found Kiara and Jayden. "The evac choppers are here already," he said. He then noticed Jayden's body. "Is he...dead?"

Kiara nodded back "Yeah....Trinity killed him...." she spoke as she grabbed her chest a little bit, still in pain as she walked over to him. She looked to Sgt. Masters in particular "And don't ask me how she's still alive....it still aludes me as well...."

She approached the two of them, still rubbing her chest a little bit as she winched in pain some more as well "Sorry, she kinda crushed my chest as well...well, knee to the chest anyway, and it hurts like hell at the moment...."

***

Shakila followed suit as she headed towards the helicopters as well. However, Aimee on the other hand, remained stationary for the time being as she looked to the lab still, her fists clenched once again "Today has just gone to hell...." she muttered to herself "Trinity's alive....and Hailey's now missing.....that's just....perfect....." she spoke to herself some more, but more sarcastically "I just hope Hailey knows what she's doing with Dragonstorm....."

"I'm overjoyed," Shelton muttered sarcastically back to Ajax. "Maybe we can brew Gustave some vodka in our spare time."

Ajax checked the personnel roster. "Actually, Gustave isn't on the registered survivors list. It's possible they missed him in headcount, but he probably didn't make it. Neither did Roux."

"No complaints there." Shelton shuddered. "I had to embed her thought chip. Do you know how awkward it is to do that to a half-naked she-wolf?"

Rather stunned by the reception, Azrael lowered his rifle and approached them. "You two shouldn't be here," he said sternly. "We should go to the roof. The monsters below are swarming the area, and they might be inside the lower levels now..."

----------

The first chopper was filled with whoever was in it and Ivory Squad, who regrouped as the Dragonstorm experiments disappeared from sight. The ramp began to close and lift off the ground.

The second Chinook waited for the rest, with Crimson Squad waiting outside for the others.

"If you got something data wise," Vic answered Shakila, "then talk with Aiko! He's the Akita!"

"Someone call my name?" Aiko responded.

----------

The bulk of the Comanches, their work relatively done, began to head back to base. Only four remained to be escorts...

----------

The pilot was soon out of ammo for the large rifle, and tossed it aside. He knelt next to the co-pilot's body to remove a sub-machine gun and clips before running through the carnage after the monster...

StarfallRaptor · **Reply #2704 on:** August 10, 2010, 10:50:57 PM

Within the base, the timer reached zero, and the sequenced charges begin to detonate, the inside of the base crumbling as Cale and Roux dove towards Neku and Kagetora...

MrDrake · **Reply #2705 on:** August 11, 2010, 01:33:19 AM

Shakila looked over to Aiko and showed the flash drive to him "I managed to find some data on Dragonstorm experiments in general, but not much, most of it was classified....and well, I didn't have much time in the end to get alot, cause of the whole base countdown sort of thing"

***

Subject 19 roared some more as she slid to a halt, quickly looking around before spreading her wings and taking off, right through the floor above her, landing on the floor above with another load roar, one that echoed through the hallways.

She did seem to be rather pissed at the moment as she looked around in order to find out where the guard was now, before she rushed off again, running down the hallway as she was getting ever so close to where she believed that the guard was.

Serris · **Reply #2706 on:** August 11, 2010, 01:41:24 AM

Dr. Wayne nodded and turned to Anne. "Anne, shall we head to the roof?" she asked.

Suddenly, there was the sound of someone or something pounding at the emergency exit stairwell.

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

Gustave sat on one of the cloth seats. In the helicopter he was riding in were Dr. Zanasiu, Cobalt Squad, Alfred, Zachary, Kiara, Shakila, Hans and Werner.

Hans looked at Gustave's chest. "Gustave, you have some bullets in your chest," he said.

"Can someone hand me some bandages and disinfectant?" Gustave asked.

Dr. Zanasiu pulled a hard drive from his pocket. "I found this buried under a stash of porno mags. It apparently belongs to a certain 'Dr. Bradley Gallo'," he said.

"I'll deal with that when we get to...where ever the hell we're going," Dr. Bailey said.

MrDrake · **Reply #2707 on:** August 11, 2010, 01:54:28 AM

Kiara sat there, clutching her chest as she groaned some more...she was indeed, still in a fair amount of pain "Which....one of you is a good enough doctor? My chest....it's kinda crushed I think....or broken....not sure....." she managed to speak up to who was in the vicinity.

***

Meanwhile, Aimee was one of the very last to actually evactuate as she looked around quickly before turning around and heading off to the second helicopter, getting onto it and sitting down, still thinking to herself mainly....her thoughts were still about Hailey and what she would be up to at the moment.

She leaned back in the seat and gave off a bit of a sigh as well, rubbing her face a little bit too, today has just been, well, one of those days in her view anyway.

Mirumoto_Kenjiro · **Reply #2708 on:** August 11, 2010, 02:42:50 AM

The escorting soldiers in the first Chinook took out first aid equipment and began to tend to Gustave and Kiara. One gave Gustave bandages and disinfectant and stayed close to give further assistance, while the other was examining Kiara, and soon pulled a backboard from the top of the fuselage. "You're gonna have to lie down on this," he said. "We'll have to keep you stabilized 'til we reach the nearest army hospital."

Ivory Leader leaned forward. "We must return to Crimson Base!" he ordered. "No exceptions!"

"She may not survive the trip, sir! Even if we never touch any turbulance on the way!"

One of the other Ivory soldiers, a Bengal Tiger, leaned forward. "Isn't Crimson Leader a medic?"

"He's not here!" Ivory leader snapped.

Another Ivory soldier replied sternly. "But he still call the final shots, sir. We should call him."

"Fine! Call him, then!"

----------

While the second Chinook was being loaded, Ice had hurried back to pick up Jayden's body and load him on a backboard. The helicopter began to lift when the explosions began, and picked up speed and altitude to escape.

Aiko pulled out his laptop again, and loaded Shakila's hard drive to look...

Vic was about to strap in when an escorting soldier approached him. "Sir! We gotta call from the other chopper!" Vic went to the front of the copter and picked up the radio. "Crimson Leader, here!"

"Sir, we got some passengers who need expert medical attention," came a reply. "Our orders were to return to Crimson Base, but the prognosis is not good for one of them. One is suffering internal injuries."

Vic scratched his chin. "If it's not progressing, then change course to the nearest army hospital," he radioed back. "I'd rather have everyone survive this level of hell rather than risk the trip!"

"Yes sir!"

----------

The first Chinook began to turn to the right, with their escorts in tow.

"I know a base with a hospital nearby!" the pilot's voice echoed in the back.

----------

Neville's Blackhawk soon arrived safely at Crimson Base...

----------

(OCC: The guard is in another building from the chopper group and also from Azrael and the girls.)

Azrael picked up a radio. "Calling National Guard in Southport vicinity. National Guard, are you there?"

A second of static before... "This is highway patrol, what's your status?"

"There are survivors still in Southport. We need a helicopter to escape. Look for red smoke on the roof..."

"10-4. We will have a chopper en-route..."

Azrael puts away the radio and turns to the ladies. "Let's get moving. Southport's going to be the next Hiroshima in a few minutes..."

MrDrake · **Reply #2709 on:** August 11, 2010, 03:07:50 AM

"So, you're saying that I'm not going to make it?" Kiara asked back as she layed down where she was, giving off a small scoff as well "Trinity knees me in the chest and managed to pretty much....hospitalise me....that's just great...." she sighed a little as she just lay there, looking at the one who was treating her, breathing softly, but also, to the best of her ability from her damaged chest.

***

Aimee on the other hand, looked over at the body of Jayden, then looked to Ice "What happened to him?" she asked as she leaned forward in her seat a little bit, noticing the hole in the back of his head "I mean, looks like someone killed him....you have any clue on who it was?" she asked, although she did have a very good idea on who did that to him.

***

(OOC: Ah okay, still all good, as she thinks she knows where he is....but still has no clue XD)

Subject 19 continued to rush along the hallway, sliding to a halt as she found out that the guard was nowhere to be seen, giving off another loud growl before taking off once again, heading to the side of the building.

She jumped out of the window, her wings having extended once again as she turned and flew back into the building, but at the lower level, where she had seen the pilot last.

Landing back in the hallway of the lower level of the building, she took off once again in order to find the pilot in question, her footsteps rumbling through the building as well.

Mirumoto_Kenjiro · **Reply #2710 on:** August 11, 2010, 09:52:33 PM

"It's just precautions, ma'am," the soldier replied as he strapped her in to the backboard. "And the wind turbulence on the voyage back to Utah may do more harm..."

----------

Vic inspected Jayden's body before he was covered with a sheet and strapped onto a backboard. "One name that to mind from someone that was with him when he was killed," he replied. "You know someone by the name of Trinity?"

MrDrake · **Reply #2711 on:** August 11, 2010, 10:02:44 PM

"Trinity?" Aimee let off a small, low sounding growl "Yes, I know her....she was one of the ones that did this to me" she spoke, showing Vic her robotic arms "I thought I had killed her, but seems like she managed to escape alive....she sort of answered my question when I met her on the lab grounds earlier on....but before I could ask any more questions, Cale and his female friend interupted"

She then paused for a second before speaking once more "Trinity also told me that she had been developing some sort of serum for a while, and had recently, injected herself with it....it gave her, what seemed to be, enhanced speed, reflexes and some added strength....said to be much like, some Albert Wesker fella....whoever that is...."

Truth was, she had no clue on who Albert Wesker was, she didn't even know that he was a fictional character within a video game as she wasn't the one to really play video games of the likes.

"I know that Trinity is with Dragonstorm....and that I also have a feeling that, well, she would have some connections to where my friend has gone as well, cause that girl, that Viper girl...the one that keeps on calling me Alice for some reason.....said that Hailey had gone back to Dragonstorm, but problem is, if Trinity is with Hailey.....well....thing is, the facility that Trinity was part of, has already been destroyed, so I have no clue now, on where Trinity could be operating from....."

StarfallRaptor · **Reply #2712 on:** August 12, 2010, 12:40:07 AM

Over the team's thought-chips, a small burst of static came over the lines.
<I-Is there anybody there? Come in! This is...Cale...>

Serris · **Reply #2713 on:** August 12, 2010, 02:03:58 AM

Dr. Wayne nodded and followed Azreal just as a grotesque thing burst from one of the stairwells. It looked somewhat like a bovid but its body appeared grossly muscled. It wore what appeared to be remnants of a lab coat and was armed with what looked like a scalpel.

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

Several soldiers at Crimson base received Neville and rushed him off to the medical center for treatment.

"If James and his crew get back here. Tell them I'm okay," he said as the soldiers carried him off.

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

"Hey anybody seen Aisha and Dr. Landon?" Dr. Zanasiu asked.

"No. Did they evacuate?" Dr. Bailey replied.

"Didn't see them."

Gustave was busy picking out the pistol bullets from his chest. His tough skin and dense muscles prevented them from reaching his vitals. The bullets clattered as they struck the floor. He dabbed disinfectant on the shallow wounds and bandaged them up. "Nothing some rest will fix," he said with a wince.

Zachary chuckled. "Never thought I would hear someone say rest will fix up getting shot outside a movie," he said.

"Yeah. That's why I'm called 'Iron Crocodile'."

"You shouldn't take risks like that, Gustave," Cpl. Stern replied. "While pistol rounds may not do much that cause superficial wounds on you, heavier and faster rifle rounds could cause serious injury."

"Bah. I've been shot more times than 50 Cent and Tupac combined."

Alfred's jaw dropped. "You've been shot over 18 times!?" he exclaimed.

Dr. Zanasiu heard the transmission. <Cale! You're alive? What about Neku and Kagetora?> He then frowned. <Unfortunately, my entire team is distrustful and rightly so of you.> He turned to everyone else. "Cale's alive."

"How?" Zachary asked.

StarfallRaptor · **Reply #2714 on:** August 12, 2010, 02:33:35 AM

Cale nodded.
<Understandably so...but as to the how we're alive...Kagetora did some sort of ninja magic...and Neku and I created an electrical shield around the group of us...so we're still at the base area. If you can...spare the time and resources to come pick us up. Kagetora's worried about Kiara.>
He replied over the link, sitting against a large chunk of rubble, Neku, Roux, and Kagetora all in similar positions...

MrDrake · **Reply #2715 on:** August 12, 2010, 02:44:57 AM

<If you wish to know....Kiara's injured right now....she needs to go to a hospital....and that's all thanks to Trinity> Shakila decided to tell Cale as she looked over to Kiara for a second <It's to do with her chest, cracked....or injured, not sure, I wasn't really paying much attention to what the onboard doctor had said>

Kiara on the other hand, gave off a small, sarcastic sounding laugh back to what the doctor had said, yet, the laugh only last for a second or so before it faded away, saying that the wind turbulence could do more harm to her.

StarfallRaptor · **Reply #2716 on:** August 12, 2010, 03:02:45 AM

There was a brief pause, then Cale spoke again.
<Right. Kagetora thinks he may have some ninja trick that'll patch her up at least a little, but he'll need to get closer. Not sure if that's a possibility.>
He said, then stopped.
<Oh, and tell Slash and Agito that I'm alright.>

MrDrake · **Reply #2717 on:** August 12, 2010, 03:05:39 AM

<Yeah, i'll be sure to tell them> Shakila looked at the two of them to speak to them herself "Cale says that he's alright, wanted me to tell the two of you that he was anyway" she spoke with a smile to them as well "By the way, I don't think I really did thank you two for saving my life....more times than I can really count now" she added on with a small little laugh as well.

StarfallRaptor · **Reply #2718 on:** August 12, 2010, 03:08:14 AM

Slash smiled and brushed a hand along her cheek.
"You needn't mention it. It was our pleasure."
He said gently, as Agito hugged her.
"And besides. The thanking can come later."
He said warmly....

MrDrake · **Reply #2719 on:** August 12, 2010, 03:13:12 AM

Shakila gave off another small litlle laugh as she leaned into Agito some as well, smiling to him as well as giving Slash a smile as well.

***

Meanwhile, back at the destroyed lab, Viper had reappeared, not too far from where Cale and the others were actually. However, she didn't seem to care for any actual survivors, since she was still rather untrusting of anyone at the lab, believing that everyone was still with Dragonstorm.

She had groaned some to herself "This was not suppose to be how it was to turn out....great....finding other labs are going to be that much more difficult now....." she muttered to herself "Destroyed data....documents and the likes...." she grumbled, but yet, still decided to have a look around anyway, to see if she could at least, dig up something useful.
