Dr Landon nodded and got up " Introductions will be in order.. naturally.. "
Are they males or females, not that it really matters" aisha added as they followed Alfred out of the meeting rooom..

Cale looked at the helicopter, then sent out a set of sparks that spelled out SOS into the air...

Inside the base, Neku continued cutting through the webs, as well as any other obstacles, heading towards Hailey's voice...
________________________________________________________________________

The commander of the strike team froze as one of the vehicles pointed it's gun at him, and just as he shut his eyes, expecting death, the vehicle, as well as the other automated defenses, shut down. Akiba, the team's tech specialist, stood grinning.

"Pretty cool, huh?"
He said proudly...

(Idaho Base)

After a while of keeping out of sight of the prey, the predator finally spoke, but the voice seemed like it was coming from inside Neku's head. "It seems there are two souls in your life whom your heart belongs to... A traitor and a freak... So which one do you wish to let die?"

----------

Ms Race watched as her UGV's stopped their assault. However, she was not deterred. Pressing several more keys, she initiated a self-destruct sequence...

----------

Outside, the robots exploded, sending concussive waves of shrapnel across the surface...

----------

Guards finally found the scientists outside the lab. "Sirs! You must evacuate the facility! It's too dangerous! There's a truck outside! Take it to Point B, and you'll be escorted out of here!"

(Lab 101 Ruins)

The pilot didn't take long at all to see the signal, and headed to the area, finding the people on the ground. The officer tossed a small case a short distance to the ground. Within, was the electronic pad Vic passed to him..

----------

(USMC Base)

Turning to the new arrivals, Fox decided to question them. "Before we get into any more reunions, what's the situation in Southport? Last time, the place has been quarantined off..."

----------

(Southport)

Azrael fired two more shots at Subject 19 before he decided to get closer. He leaped off the side of the building, putting his sword into the building to slow his descent onto the street...

(OOC: The guards telling some scientists to evacuate the facility, are they talking to Shelton's group?)

"This is getting to be rather tedious" Hailey soon muttered to herself as she looked to Aimee.

"Well, you are just yelling out to Neku with no answer in return" Aimee told her back as they continued to walk down the hallways.

***

Both Zara and Trinity continued to exchange blows outside, neither of them letting up so far, Zara unable to even land a proper hit on Trinity, yet, she was able to survive the blows Trinity was sending her way.

"Not bad...." Zara smirked as she lunged in for another strike at Trinity.

"Indeed...." was all Trinity replied back as she pulled out her gun in the process and simply shot Zara in the leg before giving her a simple roundhouse kick, knocking her to the ground "But I'm afraid it's still not good enough...."

Shelton nodded. "Let's pull back. Men, take a Jeep and cover the truck. We're heading elsewhere; I have not been impressed with the security of this prison base."

"We're just leaving the other DS teams?" asked Narcissus incredulously.

"'He who is prudent and lies in wait for an enemy who is not, will be victorious.'" Shelton quoted. "Besides, the other DS teams should be able to handle themselves."

As the team pulled back, Shelton asked the prison guard who had spoke, "Will there be Internet at the place we are going?"

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

"Everybody in Southport is dead," said Sharon, "though they're not lying down about it."

StarfallRaptor · **Reply #3126 on:** September 17, 2010, 10:25:21 PM

Neku flicked his swords.
"The only one dying here is gonna be you...wherever you are."
He said coldly...

Serris · **Reply #3127 on:** September 18, 2010, 03:03:50 AM

Alfred entered the mess hall with Aisha, Dr. Landon.

"Al, Aisha, Dr. Landon, I would like you to meet Sharon Varma, Dr. Anne Williams and Dr. Pauline Wayne," Zachary said.

Alfred stepped up to the three. "Pleased to meet you," he said, extending a massive hand for them to shake.

The size contrast between the three was...staggering to say the least. Even Dr. Wayne felt small and she was a rather large and imposing woman.

Dr. Wayne turned to Fox. "Southport is overrun by... for lack of a better term, zombies," she said. She then turned to Dr. Williams. "Dr. Williams, do you have anything else to add?" she asked.

Nick22 · **Reply #3128 on:** September 19, 2010, 12:45:55 AM

zombies, like in B-level horror movies? You'd GOT to be kidding " Aisha shook her head after shaking hands with each of the newcomers " After what we have seen Aisha , we cannot rule anything out. lets just hope there are no vampires out there' Dr Landon said in half-jest..

Serris · **Reply #3129 on:** September 19, 2010, 01:13:10 AM

Alfred laughed pleasantly. "Zombies? Come on, they don't exist!" he said.

"I swear up and down that they are zombies," Dr. Wayne said coolly. She glanced at Aisha and Dr. Landon. "You...you don't believe me do you?" she asked.

"I hope Aimee doesn't do something that she'll regret or that'll jepardize us later," Zachary said. he had gotten an apple and was eating, peel and all.

Dr. Bailey was eating some canned sardines he bought from the base commissary. "I really hate to say this but I'm starting to distrust Aimee a bit," he said.

"Why?" Dr. Zanasiu asked. "She hasn't assaulted anyone," he said, giving a glance to Aydin.

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

Aedelwulf grabbed the electronic pad. He quickly recognized it as something that he had used before.

He hastily wrote out. "Aedelwulf, Cale, Roux in Lab 101 ruins."

He then turned to Cale. "Well, hopefully, that'll get through to them," he said with a sigh.

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

The guard with Shelton shrugged. "Don't see why not," he said. He got into one of the Jeeps and got his rifle ready.

Nick22 · **Reply #3130 on:** September 19, 2010, 01:16:22 AM

Well Dr, when you sday zombies one instantly thinks of trick or treating or horror films.. but all jest aside.. i believe you, that you saw zombies or something close to that.."
_ DrLandon, there are no such thing..
_ I quote to you Halmet Act 1 Scene 3, there are..
_ More things in heaven and earth horatio than are dreamt of in your philosophy" aisha said, a bit irked.
_ and that was just about seeing a ghost..' Dr Landon smiled.

MrDrake · **Reply #3131 on:** September 19, 2010, 09:09:04 PM

"I'm afraid that you lot aren't to survive this...." Trinity smirked at the downed Zara "This whole place is going up in smoke soon enough, to which Hailey and the others are right in the middle of it all, however, to give you lot some sort of chance...and to keep you in the game for a bit longer...." she continued to smirk still "You best go and help out" she spoke as she turned and left Zara laying there as she approached the jeeps and looked to those around.

"The moment you're ready to head off, I'll follow, I'm not about to loose an expensive car in an explosion" Trinity told the group as she motioned to her Lamborghini, sounding rather serious about it all.

***

Meanwhile, both Aimee and Hailey were getting closer to Neku's location, guards were nowhere to be seen however, to which Hailey had to comment about it "Did we....kill all the guards around?"

Aimee however, shrugged back "Possibly, but don't ask me how many there were, I lost count ages ago" she laughed somewhat too.

Cancerian Tiger · **Reply #3132 on:** September 20, 2010, 12:02:14 AM

Upon hearing Dr. Wayne's comments about the zombie-like creatures, Dr. Williams thoguth about what she had witnessed back at Lab101.

"I can't think of a better term to describe these things. I saw Subject 19 inject a live being with some kind of substance that turned him into something like a zombie," she added.

Mirumoto_Kenjiro · **Reply #3133 on:** September 20, 2010, 02:22:03 AM

(USMC Base)

"Subject 19?" Snow responded. "I don't think there's such a person in the stolen data we got from Dragonstorm."

"I wouldn't be surprised," Fox replied grimly. "You can't put it past these nutcases to go all out in what they're doing..."

----------

As Vic and Aiko were still on the computer, they recognized some signals on the map surrounding the base...

----------

(Idaho Base)

Guards nearby Trinity saluted and ran to their jeeps, making ready to depart as soon as the scientists still outside have boarded...

----------

As train loads of scientists were shipped to Point B, buses were ready to transport them away...

----------

"It won't be today, and it won't be here..." the predator replied. "Our time of final judgement will be soon after I suck the life from one of the two you loved... It would've been easier if you'd made the choice...but I'll be glad to make it for you... Haily...or Snow..." What Neku would feel next was the predator make a beeline down the hall and out of sight...

After Shadow was gone, the guards had placed two large machine guns during Neku's occupation with the experiment, and they immediately opened fire on him...

----------

In the prison barracks, guards made last minute preparations before securing their gas masks, and then pulled some levers. This released a poisonous gas throughout the sealed building, slowly suffocating the prisoners inside...

----------

Right at the treeline outside the prison, a line of Strykers, of the very Marine Corps that took down the enemy perimeter at Lab 101, pulled several yards before stopping. The commander was stunned to see a battle had already taken place...

----------

(Crimson Base)

In General Sterm's office, Dr Joe recieved news of the response from the pad Vic had sent the group in Lab 101. She pulled out her own pad, and began to type:

This is Crimson Base. As of now, our allies' trust of you is in question. But, there are those that still wish to give you all second chances. So for now, this is your best connection with Anti-Dragonstorm. This may be absurb in some places, but there are other members that would better see you off dead. We will be sending you information on other Dragonstorm targets...

----------

(Southport)

Azrael readied his rifle and quickly unloaded the last clip on Subject 19...

MrDrake · **Reply #3134 on:** September 20, 2010, 04:18:29 AM

"90" Hailey spoke up, replying to Aimee's mention on how many guards they killed, causing Aimee to raise an eyebrow "What? I've been keeping track, and so far....I'm winning, 51 kills by me, while you...." she placed a finger on Aimee's chest, walking her fingers across Aimee's chest "Only have 39 kills" she added on with a little giggle, looking up to Aimee, smiling to her all the while.

"It wasn't a game" Aimee told her back a bit sternly.

"Bah...you're no fun, you used to be fun and all...." Hailey looked to Aimee some more and before Aimee could do anything, Hailey gave her a kiss, giving off another little giggle again.

Aimee in turn, just groaned "Can you please not do that?" she asked her, just looking to Hailey "I mean, I don't care how much you wanted to kiss me....I'd just rather....you didn't is all, feels too weird getting a kiss from another girl"

"Fine..." Hailey pouted slightly as the two continued to walk onwards still.

***

Zara in turn, got back up from being shot in the leg and started to walk off, with a little limp in the process too. For her, the wound just hurt like hell, sure, it wasn't healing up any quicker, but that's what she got from having more invulnerable skin. She stopped for a moment and started to pick at the bullet wound before using her claws to get into it more easiler, wincing some as she did before managing to get to the bullet and flicking it out.

***

Meanwhile, Viper and Dr. Hazel continued along the hallway, having been lucky enough to not run into any guards themselves. Dr. Hazel was already heading for a specific area of the base as it was as Viper followed her not too far behind her as Dr. Hazel soon spoke up as they walked "You know, Zara had been missing you...."

"Zara? She had been?" Viper asked back, sounding a little confused.

"Yes, ever since you buggered off after the Times Square Incident, she had been asking about where you were, and if you were going to come back and similar questions such as that" Dr. Hazel replied as they walked still "She likes you....quiet a bit...."

***

(Southport)

Soon, Subject 19 felt bullets strike her in the back as she fell to the ground for a moment, clawing the ground in the process before she turned her head in the direction of where Azrael was "You....I remember you....you're the one that ran off...." she spoke to him and stood back up, claws at her side as she practically showed off her half naked body to him "What's the matter? Have I been too much for you? So you decide to just hide away while everyone else does the dirty work for you and then, in the end....when you believe I have been weakened enough, you....reveal yourself to me...." she spoke with a chuckle, looking him up and down as she started to approach him.

Serris · **Reply #3135 on:** September 22, 2010, 12:06:46 AM

Sharon and Dr. Wayne nodded in agreement.

"Much as I hate to use the term 'zombie', I cannot think of a better descriptor," Dr. Wayne said.

"Is it possible that "Subject 19' is from the Trinity Facility?" Alfred said. "I mean it is possible that Lab 101 and Trinity Facility didn't share information. Though, I find that odd."

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

Aedelwulf looked at the pad and sighed. He looked around at the smoldering ruins of the lab. Suddenly, his ears pricked up at the faint sound of police sirens in the distance.

"Guys, we'd better move, the cops are closing in," he said.

Nick22 · **Reply #3136 on:** September 22, 2010, 12:13:19 AM

So what do you propose we do Dr Wayne? Is there anything you can think of that could, say undo this zombification?"
- i'm not sure thats even a word Aisha replied.

Serris · **Reply #3137 on:** September 23, 2010, 12:02:40 AM

Dr. Wayne shrugged. "I'm a materials scientist slash chemist," she replied.

"How about just killing them?" Gustave suggested.

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

Dr. Bailey returned to the conference room to meet with Vic and Aiko.

"So you two find anything important? We've got three survivors from Southport," he said.

Nick22 · **Reply #3138 on:** September 23, 2010, 12:58:19 AM

Well, if they are truly zombies then killing them will be difficult short of hacking them up into little bits" aisha said "Of course if this is anything like it is in the movies..where zombies keep coming at you no matter how many fingers you chop off

aabicus (LettuceBacon&Tomato) · **Reply #3139 on:** September 23, 2010, 01:10:51 AM

Shelton looked at the occupants of the vehicle he'd gotten into. He immediately noticed O'Neil and Montgomery, the highest ranking personnel in the Jeep. "What exactly happened back there?" he asked.

O'Neil seemed irked. "The prison base was not nearly as secure as we thought it was. Dr. Winters was killed, and the DS teams took heavy casualties."

---------

The Humvee that DS-2 was in suddenly swerved and rolled back towards the prison. "If we're evacuating, we're taking some of them with us!" one of them yelled.

Sighting the sniper on the roof, the Humvee gunner let loose a volley of bullets.

Ajax, wounded and bleeding from the shoulder, saw the Humvee and limped fastly in their direction.

(OOC: Starfall, can you kill exactly one of the soldiers in the Humvee please? Whether you kill Ajax or not is your choice.)
