Darwin's Soldiers: Disruptive Selection

[Mirumoto_Kenjiro]

Vic turned to Aimee when he caught a familiar word she said.  "Wait...you know this Hailey?"

----------

"We're near the base now," came the pilot's voice over the speaker.  "Medical is on standby..."

----------

As the creature appeared, Azrael simply smirked at the scalpel it was holding.  He started taking quick strides towards it, slinging his rifle over his shoulder and grabbed his sword.  He took one more step to close the distance and drew his sword from its sheath and to the creature, the blade met no resistance through the body...

----------

"So...how are things?" Breathtaker began as Dr Branston's car continued.  "And why'd you leave us to die back there?"

[MrDrake]

"Yeah, she's my best friend....she used to be with Dragonstorm at one point, but I did manage to convince her to join us....but now....seems like, as I said, she's gone back to Dragonstorm again....but why do you ask? Do you know her as well?" Aimee decided to ask Vic.

***

Subject 19 gave off another roar as she rushed off once again through the hallway, her target, was once again, the pilot and she very well knew, roughly, where he was and was already rushing towards his location...

"Jesus, Cale, pick a side and stick with it," Shelton muttered to himself, having heard the entire conversation.

"What was that?" Ajax asked, looking over.

"I'm complaining because the driver is weaving back and forth across the road."

"It's not like there are any cars out here in the forest!" the driver protested. "And I'm tired; I was just about to go to bed when all this broke out!"

"Nevertheless, wake up or give someone else the wheel," Ajax snapped. "We're near the front of the convoy, where formation is extremely important."

(OOC: Is Branston going to die? How is Nick's characters going to kill him off?)

[Mirumoto_Kenjiro]

(OCC:  Breathtaker won't kill him off.  Since Nick's characters are on the second chopper and it hasn't left the area, I can set up the situation for him...)

Vic shook his head.  "No, but I met someone who does.  I think he was called Subject 16.  He didn't make it..."

Erin was looking out one of the windows when, "I see some SUVs and vans trying to leave the area, away from where our guys are taking out the perimeter forces.  They must be Dragonstorm!"

Vic turned to the pilot.  "Turn it around!" he called.

"What?!"

"That must be Dr Branston's convoy!  He wouldn't have left already!  Trust me!"

The Chinook made a hard right, followed by the Comanches...

----------

Hearing the noise coming closer, the pilot took no time in placing trap lines leading to whatever grenades he had left.  He then grabbed a long sturdy rod with on hand while holding his gun in the other.  All he had to do now is wait...

[MrDrake]

"Subject 16's dead? First Jayden and now him...." Aimee indeed, knew about Subject 16, even having had a little chat with him as well, but now, he too was dead "I knew him as well, not as much as I know Hailey, but I did manage to have a chat with him and he seemed to know a fair amount about me"

She then too a look outside as well when Erin spoke up "Dr. Branston?" she paused for a second "If he's with Dragonstorm....then...." she cut herself off by that point, getting a small idea and decided that she would take this chance to get some answers from him, well, on the location of where Trinity could actually be, as she knew that if she found Trinity, she would find Hailey once again.

"You think I could get a chance to get some answers from this Branston guy? I mean, I figure, if he's with Dragonstorm, then he could very well know where Trinity is....and by all accounts, if Hailey's gone back to Dragonstorm, Trinity would know about it and she would be back with her, so....if I find Trinity I find Hailey...."

***

Subject 19 continued to rush down the hallway, unaware on what the pilot had put up until it was too late as she ran right into the wires, causing the pins of the grenades to be pulled out followed by an explosion, enough to damage her some more as she staggered back, falling to her knees and taking a few breaths of air.

While she was trying to re-heal herself to the best of her ability, the plaga sprouted from her back once again and begun to move around on the spot.  However, her injuries still weren't being healed up at all as she down for the count at the moment, vulnerable, once again...

[Nick22]

Aisha and Dr Landon had climbed in the second chopper.. and were waiting for it to take off as the pilot was dealing with some technical issues.. :Dr landon then tried to mentally contasct the <Guys Aisha and I are in the second helicopter. Did everyone make it out?>

[MrDrake]

Meanwhile, at an undisclosed location, Trinity had no long ago, arrived there as she approached the two figures in front of her, looking to the first figure, then looked to the second figure "How goes it?" she asked one in particular.

The figure, who was indeed, known as Drake, gave off a nod back to Trinity, glancing to Hailey for a second, whom was the other figure, before looking back to Trinity once again "Her mind was a tough one to crack...."

Trinity looked to Hailey, who was remaining silent "But I believe I have persuaded her otherwise...." Drake continued to speak, looking back to Hailey once again "Her mind is now, yours to use, as you see fit"

"Good" Trinity then seemed to wave Drake off, as it, to tell him to leave them be, to which Drake nodded back once again and turned, walking out of the room.

Trinity had then looked to Hailey once again, the emotionless girl that she had now become "Now, Hailey....think of this, think of what has happened to you as a liability.....I mean, I do not want, nor need you to head back to your so-called friends....no...." she paused for a second "No, you shall instead, listen to what I have to say, and of course, obey me otherwise"

Hailey just stood there, silent, her mind, her facial expersion seemed to be blank, as if she had become nothing more than a simple puppet of Trinity's now.

Trinity in turn, approached the nearby table in the room and picked up a syringe which was full of some sort of liquid before she approached Hailey once again, looking to her until she stabbed Hailey with the syringe, injecting the fluid into her before removing the syringe and tossing it aside and looked to Hailey, stepping back somewhat.

Hailey in turn, her eyes glew red for a second, fire begun to seem to spread over her body, to which she looked to her paws as Trinity grinned slightly.

"Just as I had expected......pyrokinesis...." Trinity begun as she held up a hand "Now, stop Hailey"

Hailey obliged as she stopped creating fire and just stood there once again as Trinity approached her.

"Now....this new found power of yours....I have something planned for it, for what you can use it on....you former, so-called, best friend....the objective is rather simple too.....the next time you see her.....kill her" Trinity ordered her rather coldly.

Hailey did not say a word back, but her new objective was in her mind as she continued to just stand there.

[Serris]

Dr. Branston shook his head. "We had evacuated every experiment we could find. I can get more guards, experiments are much harder to come by."

He yawned as he saw the lights of the convoy vehicles up ahead.

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

<Everyone's alive but Cale, Kagetora, Neku and the others are at ruins of Lab 101. I have no idea how the hell they survived though,> Dr. Zanasiu said mentally. He then leaned back in his seat and fell asleep.

"Great, and all my s---'s in my truck," Alfred groaned.

"Oh forget that," Spc. Crota said. He was curled up on the floor next Cobalt Leader's seat.

"I would be more worried about the police. They will investigate the explosion and we could have serious problems," Cpl, Stern said.

"Gustave, I know you may not want to talk about this but what exactly do you know about Trinity?" Zachary asked.

Gustave scowled. "Not much really. I did hear rumors that she had tested experimental serums designed to accelerate cell growth - enhanced healing or maybe add more muscle mass - or augment her vision, reflexes and speed. Also, she threatened to kill my family if I ever left her," he said.

[MrDrake]

Kiara looked over to Gustave, well, to the best of her ability and decided to ask him one question, well, more than one question at least "I think we're too late for that....she was already strong enough as it was, and fast....we couldn't even land a hit on her....she managed to dodge out bullets with ease....seems like she's already injected herself with a serum of some sort.....she took on Jayden and myself at one....killed Jayden and injured me....as you can tell....and it seemed like she didn't even break a sweat over it" she paused for a second "Do you know where we can find her? I mean, perhaps....we could hit her where she is....without her knowing it...."

***

Drake approached Trinity once again "Subject 19's been spotted at Southport....apparantly, she looks different now....as if she took something...."

"So....she decided to inject herself with the plagas...." Trinity begun, glancing to Hailey.

"I understand that the city is to be leveled....something to deal with her....to try and kill her" Drake replied back, only to have Trinity chuckle slightly.

"She had it coming....I never had intended for her to take the plagas for her own....." Trinity paused for a moment before adding more to what she was going to say "Leave her be.....it'll be one less thing to have to clean up afterwards...." she spoke as Subject 19 had become rouge, glancing to Hailey once again "How goes the Hydra? Is it ready?"

"It is....close to being ready for deployment....just a few things remaining to have to sort out...." Drake replied back rather calmly still, his tone not changing one bit in it.

"Once it is ready, do tell me" Trinity replied back, still looking to Hailey "Hailey and I do have other matters to attend to first"

[Mirumoto_Kenjiro]

(OCC:  The second helicopter's in the air already and has found Dr Branston's convoy.  I thought Dr Landon & Aisha are already on it.)

"Maybe it's just because you haven't truly harnessed what you scientists reaped over the years," Breathtaker responded.  "Take me for instance.  I've been created with the powers of the perfect assassin, right?  There is a problem.  Other than this prison suit I had to wear, I can't take my 'tools' with me in mist form.  BUT...I've heard rumors how that can be rectafied...  How about you fill me in on the details...?"

----------

In a half-hour, the first Chinook reached the base.  The military police and medical teams are standing by...

----------

With the monster down, the pilot raised his gun.  Not realizing the exposed plaga, he aimed for the head and fired on full auto...

[Nick22]

I'll strike my previous post then)
Get into position so I have a good shot at Branston. that bastard uis going to get what's coming to him" Aisha said to the pilot..

[MrDrake]

"Not until I get some answers from him....I need to at least find out where Trinity is now...." Aimee spoke up, giving off a slight glare towards Aisha before looking back out of the chopper again.

***

Subject 19 was taking the bullets to the head with much ease, but after a set amount of damage was done to her, it was as if, nothing else was having an effect on her as the wounds started to heal up, but not by much....healing half of what the pilot had done to her.

The plaga moved back into her back once again as Subject 19 growled, her head lifting up as she glared at the pilot before lunging at him straight away,claws already out, ready to strike him...

[Nick22]

fine, you'll get the opportunity to ask him questions.. if fate plays along' Aisha replied.

[MrDrake]

"Well hey, if things do get out of hand by that point, then you can shoot him, but at least give me a chance to get at least.....something out of the conversation....I just hope that he will want to talk" Aimee then thought for a moment "I guess you could always hold him at gunpoint to get him to talk, and then when I've got what I want from him....then you can shoot him....something along those lines anyway"

[Nick22]

alright i'll try and get him to talk to you, hemay not be in the mood to talk though' aisha replied as the helicopter continued flying..

[MrDrake]

"Well, we have to at least try......you get nothing from just assuming stuff after all...." Aimee muttered back a little, but still audiable regardless to the others, especially to Aisha as she continued to look out of the chopper.

She paused for a moment "Although, not sure how I'm going to get close enough to him to be able to talk to him without him escaping....unless....I go James Bond and jump out of the helicopter....." she spoke to herself more "But that's suicide...."

[Nick22]

I'll shoot him in the leg. enough to prevent him from escaping..' aisha said catching some of her conversation.. "What do you want to learn from him?"

[MrDrake]

Aimee looked over to Aisha for a moment, then back out of the chopper again "Like I said before, I want to know where Trinity is now operating from....she's alive, I even got into a fight with her....she won it....she was fater, and even a bit stronger too....but regardless of that, I want to know where she's now operating from, if I can find her, I can then find Hailey, and hopefully, save her from the griops of Dragonstorm....."

She paused again "That other Dragonstorm experiment, the one that calls me Alice....I forget her name, she told me that Hailey was trying to decide on going back to Dragonstorm or not....then when me and her went back to get Hailey, she was gone, nowhere to be found...."

Aimee then looked back to Aisha once again "Hailey's my friend after all....I've got to help her make the right desicions....well, in regards to Dragonstorm that is....I just hope it's not too late to help her this time...."

[Nick22]

she likes you, i can tell, or at least she did.. I hope nothing serious happened to her.. but if trinity has her i fear the worst" aisha said. 'But i may be just paranoid.. shes missing and we don't know where she is for sure..

[MrDrake]

"Yeah, I know she had a crush on me, she told me a little while ago now....but we sorted that out....but I agree, if Trinity has her....then I too fear for the worst...." Aimee replied back, looking back out the window again.
