Darwin's Soldiers: Disruptive Selection

"He better not be long" Hailey spoke up as she continued to take out guards along with Aimee.

Aimee in turn, saw someone in the corner of her eye and looked over to see that Viper was there "You again!" she called out.

Viper remained where she was and looked at the guards around, which were still starting to get a bit too much for the girls as they were surrounded as Viper rushed over to the two of them. She looked to the two of them, then to the guards as they raised their guns.

"What now?" Aimee asked as she eyed the guards.

"Grab onto my hands, both of you...." Viper replied back, only to watch the guards ready to fire upon them "No time!" she added on as she grabbed onto both Hailey and Aimee and teleported away and out of the prison.

***

When the two of them reappeared, they found themselves no longer in America at all, but in...

"Egypt!?" Aimee called out as she looked at the pyramids in front of her and looked over to Viper "What were you thinking!?"

"Sorry alright? I just....it was just....a spur of the moment thing was all" Viper replied back to Aimee and looked over to Hailey.

"Not....what I had in mind...." Hailey muttered back as she folded her arms.

Vic scratched his chin. "With what happened earlier, I can't really say I can trust them either. However..." His pulls out an electronic pad, and hands it to the officer who has told them about the Highway Patrol copter and whispers in his ear. The officer nodded and left the conference room...

Vic turned back to Dr Joe. "Keep the Crimson Eye on them until the chopper flies by. They won't be coming with us, but perhaps we could still have them take out Dragonstorm where we can't be right now. Anyway, if any of you wishes to come with our group, you'll get the latest of what we got for weapons. If not, then I'll have the commander of this base to allow you with what you need."

----------

While the Marines were guiding the three ladies inside, the officer runs past them and climbs into the police copter. The copter then began to pull up and away...

----------

(Space)

Dragonstorm AI-1 had been delayed in launching the thermonuclear device due to mechanical problems from the damage, but once the weapons dock was repaired, a massive ballistic missile-like projectile was launched, heading towards earth...

Azrael looked over the side and finds the monster had survived yet again...

Viper walked over to both Aimee and Hailey "Listen....I am really sorry about this, but I need a small favour from you two, stay here for....I don't know how long, but I need to go and get something done....and I don't need you two coming along alright?" she looked at them for a moment more before vanishing from sight.

Aimee snarled some "And yet, she didn't even wait for an answer" she grumbled and looked over to Hailey, then looked over to the pyramids "So...we're stuck in Egypt....oh yes....like this day could go any better"

Hailey gave off a small laugh as she patted Aimee's shoulder for a second "Ah, don't worry about it, sure, it's not the plan I had in mind, but I guess it could be worse"

"What? Worse than being stuck in the middle of the dessert while our only way out of here just left us in the dust!?" Aimee snapped back.

"Hey! It was only a comment! No need to snap at it!" Hailey practically yelled back at Aimee "For once in your life, please....stop complaining about every little stupid thing that goes wrong!?"

Aimee narrowed her eyes back at Hailey "Oh sure, look who's talking, miss former Dragonstorm personal"

Hailey then ignited one of her hands as she glared back at Aimee "Take that back"

"Why? You know it's true" Aimee snapped back some more and seconds later, managed to dodge an incoming fireball as Hailey kept her hand up for a moment before bringing it back down.

(Southport)

Subject 19, after being struck by debris, still managed to stand up once again and roared rather loudly. She was more pissed off now from what had just happened, and from being hurt at the moment.

She grabbed a piece of debris and tossed it aside followed by another one as she stormed out of the collapsed building and back out into the open.

"As will Cobalt Squad," Cobalt Leader said. Spc. Crota, Sgt. Masters all slithered off their chairs and the Mongoose Cobalt soldier stood up.

"I'll come with this group, never know when extra muscle will be needed," Gustave said, entering the room.

Cobalt Leader looked at the other volunteers. "Stern, you coming?" he asked.

Cpl. Stern shook his head. "I have some personal matters to take care of," he said. He then got up and left the room.

Dr. Bailey caught sight of the electrical writing on the screen. "Guys! They want us to send coordinates!" he said.

"Don't do it!" Gustave bellowed.

StarfallRaptor · **Reply #3024 on:** September 07, 2010, 12:56:42 AM

Neku saw the two disappear along with Viper, and swore angrily, creating an electrical storm around himself and frying most of the nearby guards.
________________________________________________________________________

Over the team's com signal, a burst of static was heard, followed by Cale's voice.
"Ah, about time I got this thing working. Hey there. Sorry about the crap that happened at the lab. I was...well, I got pissed off. Roux and Aedelwulf weren't acting of their free will. I'm sure that somebody over there won't trust us, but...We're gonna help. We have just as much reason to stop Trinity and Dragonstorm as you do."
He said calmly...

Vic raised his hand up. "Calm down, Gustave," he said. "We're not bringing them here, or to Crimson Base. I have an idea to see if they could still be trustworthy, and I just had a communication pad sent to them this moment." He turned to the map of the area around the prison base to find... "Huh? What happened to the signal?"

Azrael simply chuckled as he watched Subject 19 stormed angrily from the wreckage...

"What is your problem!?" Aimee called out to Hailey, who in turn, was looking to be a pissed off at the moment, glaring at Aimee "Oh, I get, I get it....you're still a bit sensitive about this whole Dragonstorm crap that you had gotten yourself into"

Hailey growled back at Aimee "Leave that out of this" she snarled as she stepped towards Aimee.

Aimee in turn, folded her arms and looked to Hailey "No, you know why I wont leave it alone now? Because it is stupid to hear that after I rescued you from Dragonstorm once before, you would stupidly enough, decide that it would be smart enough to go back to them a second time, and therefore, having to get me to save your ass, yet again, from the clutch of Trinity and co...do you even think anything through properly anymore, or is your brain a bit, oh I don't know, screwed up that it hinders your lack of thinking?"

Hailey growled back at Aimee and seconds later, tackled her down onto the ground.

Aimee in turn, kicked Hailey off, grabbing some sand in her hands and tossed it into Hailey's eyes before getting to her feet, only to get punched in the face by Hailey stioll, and to add to it, by a flaming fist.

Hailey glared to Aimee, fists engulfed in flames as she just looked at her friend "You don't know what I have been through, you have no idea on what it was like, so don't you dare patronize me about all this and what I have been through while you were never around" she snarled back to Aimee.

Aimee in turn, just gave off a strange, sarcastic sounding laugh back "Oh my, that is really....funny you know that? Patronizing you and what have you....do you even know the meaning of any of those words? Or are you just adding them into sentences to sound smart?"

Hailey scoffed back "I can't believe this....no, I can't believe how you're acting at the moment....acting like a real bitch so far, and why? All because of what Dragonstorm has done? What? Come on, entertain me" she spoke, still glaring at Aimee, clenching her fists some.

The moment Subject 19 had managed to escape the collapsing building, and in turn, had made it outside, she looked to the sky and gave off a rather loud sounding roar as he wings expanded to their full length.

" lets head out" Aisha said finally to the others " I'm not sure if I trust them either,m but we don't have much of a choice...

MrDrake · **Reply #3028 on:** September 07, 2010, 11:47:54 PM

"You guys go on ahead...I still need to rest up a bit" Kiara spoke from her seat, having not moved for a while, thinking that it was best not too as her chest was still healing up, and was not feeling up for heading out anywhere just yet.

"And....I don't know what help I'll be either" Shakila added in with a shrug "Since I'm not really a fighter as such"

***

(Egypt)

Aimee looked to Hailey still, her fists clenching as well as she started to walk towards her friend "You want some entertainment?" she asked her, looking at her for a second before punching her right in the face "There, that's your entertainment"

Hailey stumbled back slightly from the punch she had recieved, and it was a rather hard one....Aimee seemed to be serious now as she growled back to Aimee in the process "You know what? Fine, you can stay here for all I bloody well care" she added in at long last and turned around, starting to walk off.

"And just where do you think you're going?" Aimee asked Hailey as she started off after her.

"Out of this place and back to America, I have unfinished business I need to take care of over there" Hailey replied back rather angrily.

However, Aimee grabbed Hailey by the shoulder and pulled her around and looked at her in the eyes rather seriously. She didn't speak for a few moments, just looking at her friend till she opened her mouth and spoke "Listen, I'm sorry about before, I really am, it's just that, what has happened lately, it's kinda taken a toll on me, and I shouldn't have taken it out on you either"

Hailey still looked at Aimee, rather uncertain if she should believe her or not "Yeah, well, at least think before you act next time....I didn't really want to have to burn you to a crisp"

"Wow....never thought I'd be getting a lecture from you in my lifetime" Aimee replied back with a little laugh.

Hailey laughed a little bit as well, but more nervously instead "I do have....one small question I was meaning to ask you....that kiss you gave me earlier on...." she begun.

"No....I am not kissing you again, that was a one off thing and that's it" Aimee reassured Hailey.

Neku continued through the base, coldly and focusedly slaying everything in his path...

The assembly had finished, and the collective personnel were returning to their rooms and duties. Shelton had started thinking about Trinity's assignments. The Gustave one would be easiest to accomplish, but clearly the least ethical. He decided to focus on the other.

"Hey, Brad," he asked Kerzach, "Do you want to go with me on a short hike? I need to do something outside the base."

(OOC: What's the environment outside the Prison Base? Forest? Desert? Grass?)

Mirumoto_Kenjiro · **Reply #3031 on:** September 09, 2010, 01:20:00 AM

(OCC: Forest)

(Idaho Base)

Alarms blared throughout the compound, outside and inside, soldiers rushed down hallways where halls have not been sealed. Soldiers have made clear orders to scientists to make an escape through the underground railway to 'Point B'...

----------

Breathtaker was escorted out the same way, following two other experiments: an Asian human female carrying some long instrument, and a male Wolf Spider. The scientist stopped the Wolf Spider, whispering orders to him, and the arachnid simply nodded, and moved away at incredible speed, as if he vanished in thin air...

----------

(USMC Base)

"Aiko, did we lose the signal on the gun?" Vic asked.

Aiko fiddled at the computer. "No... It...moved?"

"It can't be THAT fast. Find the signal!"

The map of the area zoomed out to as large as the continental United States, but no blue blip.

"Uh, the signal's not in the States, boss..."

Serris · **Reply #3032 on:** September 09, 2010, 01:25:07 AM

(OOC - The environment outside the Prison Base is all grass.)

Dr. Kerzach nodded as he walked down the sterile concrete and stainless steel halls. "So Roger, what exactly are your plans today?" he asked. He and Shelton were in an area that was already locked down.

Several armed guards passed by them. They were leading a death row inmate to the labs.

Several more armed guards streamed to the site of the affected area.

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

Dr. Zanasiu scowled as he received Cale's radio transmission. He had fought alongside and with Cale during the terrorist attack but no one else seemed to trust him.

"Any way we can communicate with them?" he asked. "We can only receive not send data."

Dr. Bailey nodded. "I can hook up a webcam and microphone but I am iffy about doing so," he said.

He then glanced over at Aiko's computer. "Wait, Egypt? Don't tell me Dragonstorm has international bases too!" he said with a groan.

(OOC: I was under the impression that it was all forrest outside the base)

(Egypt)

The two of them had been wandering along the side of the Great Pyramid of Giza after a bit as Aimee spoke up "Viper better return soon....this sun...the heat....it's hot...." she spoke as she sat down, leaning up against the pyramid as she looked to Hailey.

"Aww, come on Aimee, don't give up just yet, it's not that hot" Hailey told Aimee as she took a look around again.

"Yeah, well, I don't have fire related powers myself, so the heat gets to me, far more quickly than it does you" Aimee replied back as she wiped her forehead.

***

(New York City)

Viper had been wandering around Times Square for a bit until a voice had called out to her, but a bit quietly.

"Been wondering when you were going to return"

Viper stopped and turned around to face the other, a female, a human female. Viper tilted her head to the side a little bit before realizing who it was "Zara? Where's Dr. Hazel?"

"She's around, still alive and what have you...." Zara replied back and blew some of her hair out of her face as she continued to look at Viper "What are you doing here anyway?"

"Been trying to find her lately.....cause I well, I need her help is all" Viper answered Zara "So, where is she?"

Zara looked at Viper for a moment more, a more of a bored look on her face before she turned and started to walk off, heading northwards as Viper rushed off after her "So....you gonna help me or what?"

"What does it look like I'm doing?" Zara seemed to scoff back a little.

"It's not that, Doc," Aiko replied. "The signal of the gun made a big jump from Idaho to...Giza? Maybe someone there has the ability to teleport?"

"We have a way to talk to them," Vic replied to Dr Zanasiu. "And it should be soon..."

----------

(Lab 101 Ruins)

Soon, the Highway Patrol copter reached the charred remains of the Dragonstorm lab...

"I've been given a couple of assignments by a very high-ranking individual, and if I can complete them quickly, I think I can get on her good side, possibly another promotion," Shelton told him, as they approached an exit to the Base.

The lead guard opened his mouth to deny them from leaving, due to the lockdown, but Shelton waved his Commander of DS-1 badge. The guard quickly shut his mouth, bowed, and permitted them to stop by the supply closets and leave the base.

(OOC - Grass might be a better choice for a prison area.)

"But that's impossible!" Zachary cried. "All we've managed to teleport at Pelvanida are subatomic particles and that was after some 15+ years of research! Teleporting something the size of a gun let alone a living thing was deemed near impossible!"

"Zach, worry about the physics of that later. We need to decide our next move," Dr. Bailey said.

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

Dr. Kerzach followed Shelton to the supply closet. The closet was filled with weapons of all types - ranging from pistols to rifles to grenades and other heavy ordinance.

Dr. Kerzach picked up an M4 carbine and started loading the magazines. "So what was that assignment?" he asked.

aabicus (LettuceBacon&Tomato) · **Reply #3037 on:** September 09, 2010, 01:58:53 AM

Shelton checked to make sure nobody was in earshot. "Trinity lost some important data, and she wants me to find out where it went and who took it. I'm assuming James and his team stole it, so I'm going to contact them and just get confirmation. I need a thought signal amplifier," he noticed one and hefted it off the shelf, along with a travel power cell. "I need to be away from the base because other thought chips would interfere with the amplifier."

(New York City)

The two walked for some time still as Viper noticed something familiar in the distance and looked to Zara still, then back to their destination. Central Park.

"Hazel has an apartment across from Central Park....and she would want to speak to you as well, I mean, after the Times Square Incident, you just buggered off without so much as a word" Zara told Viper, already sounding a bit upset.

Viper looked to Zara once again "That wasn't my fault, after that thing was destroyed....I just had to get out of there, I didn't want them trying to clone me again and repeating the whole process once again"

"You could've at least sent us a postcard or something" Zara looked to Viper as she stopped where she was.

Viper arched an eyebrow at Zara for a moment "Why? I thought you didn't really care what had happened to me in the end"

"Not exactly....I....do care...." Zara spoke back, but a tad more quietly than before before walking off again, heading down the footpath towards the apartment building.

Serris · **Reply #3039 on:** September 10, 2010, 12:27:24 AM

Dr. Bailey turned to Shakila. "We need someone who can do hacking and other electronic warfare. Aiko, myself and you are the only ones who can do so," he said.

Dr. Zanasiu scratched his chin. "I think splitting into teams of three might be the best choice. But we need to make sure that each team has someone with a thought chip and someone with electronic warfare capabilities," he said.

"One problem, do we have enough members to do that?" Alfred asked.
