Roux smiled a little.
"Oh, well... about that... Umm... Aisha?"
She said nervously...

AI Shelton was rappelling up a invisible wire, clutching a zipline which had been constructed out of his shoes and the stump of his right arm.

He was following one of the invisible wires which connected the invisible cameras in every room to...somewhere. In all honesty, he wasn't sure where they led, but since they allowed external users to view the machine, they must have an electronic connection to the outside world.

Since these wires were not designed to interact with the user's perception of the machine, Shelton raced through walls, ceilings, and rooms full of invisible code indiscriminately. Both the code and the mansion display was starting to bug up, and flashes of colorful errors dotted random places. The machine was breaking down, and time was running out.

Roux looked down.
"N-nothing..."
She said, ears flat againat her head...

Roux nodded weakly.
"I know... I know.."
She said, staring down into her cereal...

Nick22 · **Reply #3686 on:** January 31, 2011, 01:02:54 AM

Now chin up" Landon said giving her a smile.. "You're with friends, Roux.Would you like some muffins? They're really good" He said..

StarfallRaptor · **Reply #3687 on:** January 31, 2011, 02:26:27 AM

Roux shook her head.
"I'm not hungry."
She said in a very quiet voice...

Death seemed to hessitate as Neku attempted to stab at him, his grip actually loosening just enough from Neku's heart to be knocked back some by Neku.

Hailey had turned up the heat long enough for the time being as she looked over to Neku "You should get going now.....I don't want to have to kill you along with the Hydra and Drake....you've got to get back to Aimee and the others...."

By that point, fire spat out as she turned and fired a fireball towards Death in particular in order to keep the Horsemen preoccupied as she continued to talk to Neku "Now go Neku! I wont ask you again!"

Drake snarled rather loudly at Hailey and aimed his gun at her, only to have Hailey fire a fireball at his hand, knocking the gun out of his hand before he was struck in the face by a second fireball, which scared some of his face in the process, to which he only snarled at her again.

The virtual reality machine was undergoing some serious trauma. Parts of the mansion were corrupted, whole rooms had become static, and walls and structures were glitching up. The surviving AI party guests were in a panic, even those who weren't fully aware what was happening to them.

Even AI Shelton was affected; pixels were scraping off his legs and hands, and the hand clutching the zip-line had become two-dimensional. Most of his attention was devoted to allocating pixels from his chest and torso, but he only had enough to seal off the damage, not rebuild the appendages.

Suddenly the wire cut out; Shelton found himself in freefall. Quickly restoring his solidity so that he didn't fall through the floor, Shelton skidded across a ceiling and hit a crystal chandelier before crashing into a large circular table and rolling on the ground in a medley of glass shards and splinters.

He staggered to his feet. He was on the top visible floor of the mansion; the wire appeared to lead to a further invisible floor. His feet and shins had been almost completely corrupted; he crawled forward using his only remaining hand. He had to find a new way up there, and he probably had seconds to do so.

StarfallRaptor · **Reply #3690 on:** January 31, 2011, 09:39:43 AM

Neku shook his head.
"Hailey, I'm not gonna leave you! I love you too much for that! If you stay, so do I. So...please, don't do what you're planning on. If we work together, we can both make it home! Please...don't leave me alone again!"
He yelled, running over to her and hugging her, his field protecting him...

Nick22 · **Reply #3691 on:** January 31, 2011, 12:53:31 PM

dr landon brought her a nuffin anyway ' here. he said.. ' you'll need your energy, we;ll be checking out shortly and be back on the road..

After dragging himself ten feet across the floor, AI Shelton found another invisible wire heading up. Curling his fingers around it, he started climbing one handed up the wire.

Before long he had passed through the roof of the mansion. The roof was flickering; he could see the pandemonium below him. None of the other AI had a chance; they'd need to be disconnected from the program, and only an organic user can destroy code.

Shelton registered himself passing through an invisible floor, and a few seconds later found himself floating in an invisible room. Obviously Drake had not bothered to color this room since it's normally unreachable. Shelton couldn't even stand on the floor or touch the walls.

As Shelton floated in this phantom room, he debated his next move. Obviously he was not designed to transmit his program out of the machine, and how would he upload his body? For that matter, how would he upload anything?

"You don't haved a choice in the matter, as good as your blades are, they wont be able to stop the Hydra, but I know of a way" Hailey spoke, giving him a quick hug back before pushing him back and fired fireball after fireball at the Hydra to get its attention.

The Hydra roared from the fireballs striking it in afew of its heads as it lashed in on Hailey, one of its heads biting down upon Hailey's arm as it bought her upwards into the air..

Hailey took the chance to land on the open mouth of the Hydra's head, both feet on either side of the head "Open wide" she spoke and started to use her fire powers like a flamethrower, down the Hydra's throat, causing the Hydra to roar out in pain still.

Drake in turn, was just watching on, not being able to believe his eyes "Soundwave....run the backup protocol"

"Acknowledged" Soundwave spoke back as he went to work with the next phase of the plan "Estimated time till completion, 30 seconds"

Roux looked up, smiled a little, and took it.
"Th-Thank you..."
She said softly...
______________________________________________________________________

Neku landed away from Hailey, then sighed.
"I didn't want to have to use this...but...Hailey, you've left me no choice. Nova Art! Sacrifar!"
He yelled, his body disintegrating for a moment, before a solid stream of his blood appeared and flew into Hailey's body, unaffected by the heat, as Neku reappeared, fully wrapped in a glistening electrical armor, and immediately threw his sword at Drake, aiming to hit him as he was distracted...

MrDrake · **Reply #3695 on:** January 31, 2011, 06:55:55 PM

Well, this was something Hailey did not expect to have happen to her as the stream of bloodstruck her, yet,she did her best to ignore it as she was still too busy to have to deal with the Hydra right now.

She looked down at the Hydra's body and watched as it started to spark rather dangerously, which was her cue to stop what she was doing as she leapt off the Hydra and onto the ground.

The sword in turn, had impaled Drake, right in the chest, yet, it managed to miss his heart by inches. Although, he still stumbled around as he narrowed his eyes at the two of them slightly "You....you think you've won, haven't you?" he gave off a small laugh "You're....you're wrong...the Hydra....it's just going to get....rebuilt elsewhere....Soundwave's going to make sure about that....he's already left the facility with the....essential data...."

Drake continued laugh softly, even as he was coughing up blood from the injury from the sword "You've done all.....of this....and in the end....it was for nothing...." he motioned over to where the Horsemen were standing as Death started to fly around the other three and moments later, they had vanished from sight. He looked back to the two of them once again "Then again....I expected nothing more....from a duo of....freaks...."

And that was when Hailey stepped forward towards Drake "We maybe freaks and the likes, but hey, at least we stopped you....and once Neku there finds Soundwave....he'll wish he was never created....." she spoke, still believing that this was her final stand. She gave off a slight smirk however to Drake "Oh, and one other thing Drake, before I forget...." and with that, her fist ignited in flame once again as she punched Drake, right across the face, knocking him out in the process "K.O motherf***er"

StarfallRaptor · **Reply #3696 on:** January 31, 2011, 07:22:51 PM

Neku chuckled.
"Hate to break it to you, but by the time your little pet finds a new place to hide, he'll be deleted. And I'll make damn sure of that. Got it memorized? Oh, wait...you don't have to. You're already a dead man."
He said darkly, then, as the Hydra's sparking intensified, he stepped close to Hailey.
"Well, that was one hell of a way to start off our future, huh?"
He said, smiling jokingly...

aabicus (LettuceBacon&Tomato) · **Reply #3697 on:** January 31, 2011, 09:55:52 PM

The mansion was in serious trouble. Very few of the AI on the ground had managed to survive the massive technical errors deleting massive parts of the base, and what was left had been torn apart in the chaos.

Floating above it all, Shelton was shooting what pixels he had left at various parts of the room, attempting to locate the spot where the cameras connected to the remote network. It wasn't much better than the Monte Carlo method, but he had no other options at this point.

"Come on, come on..." he muttered to himself.

Dr. Kerzach nodded. "Sure," he said. He then reached under the sink and grabbed a large black trash bag.

He then stuck Achilles's feet into the bag. Suddenly, he heard footsteps approaching.

<Look alive, Shelton! Someone's coming!> He said mentally

(OOC - Are Shelton and Kerzach still going to responsible for the death of Chiumbo's family or has someone sent another assassination group? Like I said, it will give Gustave a personal reason to go after Trinity and Dragonstorm.)

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

(Cornova, NM)

"You're welcome," Dr. Bailey said with a smile as he finished his tea. "Well, I think it's time we head on out to Texas."

"Agreed," Spc. Crota said.

At this point, Sgt. Masters, Cpl. Stern, Cobalt Leader, Zachary and the Mongoose Cobalt soldier returned to the table.

"We can't find Aydin anywhere!" Cobalt Leader said.

Spc. Crota shrugged. "Doesn't matter. He'll just f--- our mission by attacking someone over Aimee," he said coldly. He threw away his trash and returned his plates.

"Come on, Mitch, he's a part of our team. And you have to admit, he did save Gustave," Alfred cut in, folding up the newspaper and putting it aside.

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

Dr. Zanasiu had his shotgun at the ready. "What is it, Chase? An experiment? An ordinary assassin? A robot?" he asked.
