"We don't have anyone with a thought chip," Vic answered, "but Snow here is a telepath."

"It's...not as powerful as you think," Snow replied.

"But what about that kid you got from Pelvanida?" Aiko asked. "He must be a strong telepath."

Just as Vic was about to speak his protest, it was Dr Joe that spoke. "Chase is too young to be involved," she said on screen. "And he doesn't trust anyone outside Crimson Squad. You'll have to depend on Snow and Kaylee."

Kaylee, a communications officer of Ivory Squad, nearly blushed.

Knowing that there is time for the thermonuclear weapon to reach the city, Azrael had to keep Subject 19 from escaping. He grabs the heavy rifle and aims over the side. Sighting in, he fires a round for the base of the monster's wings...

Shakila looked to Dr. Bailey and shrugged a little bit "Well, if you think I can be of help like that, I guess I could tag along" she told him before looking over to Vic "Well, I know that Aimee and Hailey don't have thought chips on them"

(New York City)

Soon enough, Zara had shown Viper inside Dr. Hazel's apartment "Hazel, Viper's here"

Dr. Hazel looked over to Zara first, then looked over to see Viper "Viper, it's good to see that you're alive in one piece" she spoke. Something about her accent was noted that she wasn't American, her accent was that of African descent.

Viper rushed over to Dr. Hazel and gave her a hug "Sorry for taking off like that, but I had to you know"

"It was best that you did, especially if the Colonal were to get his hands on you once again, as you know, we do not need another repeat of the Times Square Incident" Dr. Hazel replied back as Zara gave off a small scoff.

"Sorry...." Zara grumbled a little bit as she folded her arms.

"Yeah, anyway, I need your help on something, it's about a Dragonstorm base....it's in that state...." Viper paused for a moment, already forgetting what state she had been in lately "I think it was Las Vegas....or Tokyo...."

Zara gave off a small sounding snicker at what Viper had said "You need our help I take it?"

"Well yeah, about how to destroy it, and since you're here Zara too, your help would be greatly appreciated" Viper replied back "But before that, I need to go back to....Egypt for something"

"Why there?" Dr. Hazel asked.

"Well....I kinda teleported two others.....there.....by mistake...." Viper replied back, almost starting to blush in regards to her mistake.

Zara shrugged back a little "I'd love to help you out" she told Viper with a light smile as well.

Subject 19 was soon struck in the back and gave off a roar as she stumbled forward slightly before standing up again and clenching her fists, taking a look around in order to find out who had shot her.

(Egypt)

As Aimee and Hailey waited around for Viper to return, Hailey took a look around, her ears twitching slightly "It seems a bit too quiet....as if something's watching us...." she stepped out, away from the pyramid to take a look around some more.

Aimee got back up and groaned a little bit as she walked towards Hailey, wiping some sweat off her forehead as she approached Hailey "The heat's probabally starting to get to you...." she begun.

However, Hailey interupted her as she put up a hand "Shut up for a second, it's not the heat" she could feel the ground starting to rumble slightly before she grabbed Aimee and jumped backwards, pulling her along and onto the ground as something burst out of the ground.

The "something" in question seemed to be a giant scorpion as it latched itself to the side of the main pyramid as it looked at the two females, watching them as they got up before lunging at them.

Aimee watched as the scoprion lunged and practically kicked Hailey out of the way as she turned to face the scorpion, pulling back her fist, ready to punch it in the face before quickly ducking underneath one of its pincers and then punching it in the face once....only to have it do nothing.

The scorpion swung another pincer and knocked Aimee away as it turned its attention to Hailey next.

"This is bulls***" Hailey muttered as she ignited herself in flames "What the hell is this thing even doing here?" she asked herself as she started to fire fireballs at said scopion, only to have the fireballs do nothing to the scorpion.

Aimee approached Hailey and looked to her for a second, then to the sc`orpion "Okay, you have any clue on who built this thing?"

"Not really, well, I might have one idea....." Hailey then realized it and growled slightly "Drake.....it has to have been him that built this thing...."

Outside the base, atop a grassy knoll, Shelton set up the amplifier. "Make sure to stand behind me, towards the base," he told Kerzach. "So you don't interfere with the amplifier. I'm about to strengthen the amplitude of my signal, and if you caught it at point-blank range, it'd be painfully loud."

He faced the direction of Lab 101 and Crimson Base, and sent a message out. <Does anybody read me?>

MrDrake · **Reply #3043 on:** September 10, 2010, 03:15:08 AM

As Shakila was still hanging around, listning into what everyone one saying, she had recieved Shleton's message. At first, she said nothing, but decided to <Shelton? What are you....I mean, where are....you? After Lab 101.....weren't you suppose to meet everyone else once again instead of going back to Dragonstorm? You don't want to blow your cover, do you?> she decided to contact him back as she leaned back in her chair a little bit, glancing at everyone else.

aabicus (LettuceBacon&Tomato) · **Reply #3044 on:** September 10, 2010, 03:19:44 AM

Shelton cringed. Of everyone on James' team who could have received the message, it had to be her.

<...hi, Shakila.> He paused, trying to remember what he was asking for. <I had no choice but to evacuate with the convoy, to keep my cover intact. How's James and everyone doing? You all get out okay?> he asked, stalling for time to recollect his thoughts.

MrDrake · **Reply #3045 on:** September 10, 2010, 03:22:00 AM

<We could be better, Kiara for starters is injured....Jayden is dead, Aimee and Hailey are missing.....anything else you want to know?> Shakila asked back before deciding to get to the point <Look, I know you just didn't contact us for a chat and some cigars or whatever....so what is it that you're really wanting?>

aabicus (LettuceBacon&Tomato) · **Reply #3046 on:** September 10, 2010, 03:29:07 AM

<I was...> Shelton tried to think of a valid scenario which would warrant him asking the question he wanted to. <I was, breaking into Trinity's datafiles yesterday, and a large piece was missing. I couldn't locate it. I'm just curious if you guys had any idea where it might have gone.>

MrDrake · **Reply #3047 on:** September 10, 2010, 03:31:57 AM

<Trinity huh? Did those files have anything to do with a fellow called Experiment 626? Drake I believe his name was....among other files....I have yet to look at....till I find myself a computer to use> Shakila replied back as she paused for a moment again <So, for the time being, I'm keeping the files, besides, it's not like you need them if you were breaking into the datafiles yourself>

aabicus (LettuceBacon&Tomato) · **Reply #3048 on:** September 10, 2010, 03:37:16 AM

<What I mean is they were missing, completely gone. Like Nixon's 18? minutes. I couldn't read them.> Shelton paused. <Are you saying you stole them?>

MrDrake · **Reply #3049 on:** September 10, 2010, 04:19:13 AM

<Well yeah, I decided to take the chance to well, steal some Dragonstorm related files and yeah, that's what I managed to take, why is it so important that they're missing anyway? I mean, why do you care that it's gone missing from the datafiles?> Shakila asked him back, already starting to get a bit suspicious of what he was asking of her.

aabicus (LettuceBacon&Tomato) · **Reply #3050 on:** September 10, 2010, 04:51:05 AM

<It's not the fact that they're gone, it's that I wanted to see what was on them. I'm risking my life out here surrounded by people who would break my neck in an instant if they found out I was a mole, and since it was missing, the data was clearly valuable, possibly something I should know.

<And for your information,> Shelton decided to add, <the next time you steal data, copy it and take the copy, so that your target doesn't instantly realize something's missing! That's basic hacking knowledge, and if you'd followed it, neither of us would be in this situation!>

MrDrake · **Reply #3051 on:** September 10, 2010, 04:54:46 AM

<Oh sure, blame it all on me....sounds like you're getting all worried about me> Shakila replied back with a slight sneer in her mind as well, growling every so slightly to herself as well <For your information, I have Slash and Agito to watch out for me, so whoever wants the data can come and get it themselves, they can take care of them>

Shakila, however, had no idea that it was Trinity that wanted the data, nor on what Trinity was now capable of doing <So no, you don't need to know what the data was about, I'm keeping the information for the time being....you got yourself into this mess....you can get yourself out of it...>

aabicus (LettuceBacon&Tomato) · **Reply #3052 on:** September 10, 2010, 05:20:54 AM

<Awesome,> Shelton growled back. <Glad it was you that picked up my signal. We should do coffee again if I survive. Continue relaxing surrounded by allies in a completely safe environment, and maybe one day you'll be an actual hacker.>

MrDrake · **Reply #3053 on:** September 10, 2010, 05:24:46 AM

<Heh, at least I'm using my skills for the good fight, maybe you should at least try that instead of making up excuse after excuse to try and save your precious little ass from Dragonstorm....if you actually cared for, well, anything, then you'll do what's right....not what you think is right....contact me again once you learn to grow a pair....I'm already sick enough as it is with your bulls*** excuses....> Shakila replied back as she got up from her seat and decided to go for a little wander around, not saying a word to anyone else.

aabicus (LettuceBacon&Tomato) · **Reply #3054 on:** September 10, 2010, 05:32:04 AM

Shelton didn't really have anything to say to that, so he pretended he didn't hear Shakila's response and severed the connection. "I got what we needed," he informed Kerzach succinctly. "We can head back."

Dr. Hazel looked to Viper for a moment more before she spoke up "You can explain things a bit later on, Zara and I will be going with you back to Egypt to pick up these....friends of yours" she told her as she stood besides Zara.

Viper nodded to them and walked over, grabbing onto the two of them and teleported away, heading back to Egypt where she had last left Aimee and Hailey.

***

(Egypt)

Aimee and Hailey were still up against the scorpion creature when Viper appeared, not far from the two of them.

Dr. Hazel looked over, seeing the giant scorpion and was already, looking to be rather concerned and looked to Zara "They'll need your help"

"Yeah....sure thing...." Zara replied back a bit dryly as she rushed forward, however, not quiet heading for the two girls and the scorpion, but instead, for the pyramid first and started to rush up it, stepping up each step to get a good height.

Viper watched on, noticing that Zara had not been wearing any shoes all this time "What happened....to her shoes?"

Dr. Hazel looked to Viper for a second "Shoes? You're wondering....about her shoes?"

***

Aimee and Hailey, unaware that Zara was running up the closest pyramid, continued to stand their ground "So, what shall we do now?" Hailey asked Aimee.

Aimee just shrugged back slightly "Not a clue....this thing....it seems dangerous and powerful....and I don't even have enough strength to damage it....even scratch it for that matter" she spoke.

Zara, second later, lept off the pyramid and was starting to to come down on the scorpion, all the while, claws extending from her knuckles area, landing on the scorpion and stabbed it in the process in an attempt to damage it before using said claws to climb up the scopion towards its head, all the while, the scorpion thrashing around, dangerously close to the pyramid.

Agito and Slash quietly slipped off after Shakila, catching up to her quickly.
_________________________________________________________________________

Inside the base, as the carnage settled, the five commando members quickly checked the area, then the sniper, and apparent leader, of the team pulled out a radio, tapping it into the Anit-Dragonstorm team's frequency.
"Any Anti-Dragonstorm team members hearing this?"
He asked...

MrDrake · **Reply #3057 on:** September 10, 2010, 05:51:10 PM

Shakila slowed down her walking before she stopped as Slash and Agito caught up to her as she gave off a small smile to the two of them. However, as she smiled to them, she didn't really say anything at the moment as she was still rather frustrated with her little talk she had with Shelton, to the point she growled to herself some and even spoke to herself a little "The nerve of him...."

(Idaho Base)

Waiting after the gunfire had stopped, Ms Race switched on some monitors to see that no one other than the commandos are alive. "I'd personally thought the Colonel would've had things covered," she said with annoyance in her voice. "It seems I have to do everything myself..." She switched on another monitor and keyed in some passwords. "You really think you'll win this war that easily?"

These passwords engaged the next level to defense... First, a series of rods appeared around the grassy fields of the perimeter and began to emitt a frequency, which started to jam all foreign transmitions. Next, the machine guns set along the wall were in fact remote-controlled operated, and they kicked on again to life without their dead gunners. Third, what was left of the garage doors opened up all the way, and a convoy of the unmanned ground vehicles, similar to those at Lab 101, poured out and homed in on the invaders. Finally, grenades began to shoot out in droves across the entire complex, exploding where they hit...

Where Neku continued down the halls, a figure crawled along the ceiling after him...

(Crimson Base)

For a moment, radio operators starting picking up a strange signal with words 'Anti-Dragonstorm', before it was suddenly cut off...

----------

(USMC Base)

When Slash and Agito appeared on base, soldiers were alerted and converged, weapons ready. Alarms sounded again...

----------

(Lab 101 Ruins)

Staying high above the ground, the helicopter scanned the ground for life...

(Southport)

Azrael fired another shot, this time at Subject 19's head...

Dr. Kerzach glanced in the opposite direction towards the prison base with his rifle at the ready as he waited for Shelton to finish up.

He then headed back towards the base but he suddenly stopped. "Shelton, there's fighting going on," he said. He quickly adjusted the stolen spur knives. He found that using reusable soft nylon cable ties to attach the knives to his feet in an imitation of Dr. Bradley Gallo was far more comfortable and easier than using tape.

True enough, the chatter of the mounted machine guns and the explosions of the grenades were audible in the distance.

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

Dr. Zanasiu tapped his head. "I have a chip as do Cpl. Stern, Shakila and Hans," he said.

"Don't forget Aydin," Hans added.

Alfred shook his head. "Aydin is too unstable. We don't know if he'll desert, assault or even kill one of his own teammates to protect Aimee.

Gustave cracked his massive knuckles. "I'll go with him. If he tries anything funny, I'll splatter his brains all over the wall," he said. The old gunshot wound on his head indicated that he was not someone to be trifled with.

Alfred sighed. "Gustave, you have a felony conviction or two because of s--- like that," he said.

"Look that was like 20 years ago! I learned my lesson. Lots of alcohol, claws, fangs and superhuman strength don't mix!"

All eyes turned on Alfred and Gustave.

Spc. Crota facepalmed. "What a team. We've got a felon, a former terrorist, some soldiers and a bunch of scientists who think they are soldiers," he said sarcastically. "I never went through this in Basic Training."
