"Really?  What gave you that idea?" Dr. Williams asked Sharon in a curious manner.

"All I did was mention you and he wouldn't stop talking about you!" Sharon whispered. She glanced secretly from side to side and made sure her voice was low so nobody could hear. "He's definitely got his eye on you!"

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

Shelton looked warily at the nearest window. <If you say so...> Buckling himself into a window seat on the port side of the plane, Shelton chucked the plane's fire extinguisher at the matching window on the starboard side of the plane. After several throws, the extinguisher punched through.

"Great..." Even without emotion in his voice, Ezekiel was clearly not pleased.  "Get going," he said to the driver.  "We'll see what this 'Horseman' wants, and get him out of here.  I'm getting tired of unwanted guests before the real opposition arrive..."

----------

(Texas Base)

"Suit yourself then," Kyriel replied.  "You'll find nothing to suit your appetite here..."  She turned to Dr Calchas.  "I'll be waiting for your call when she decides to talk...or dies..."

Death looked at Kyriel for a moment "We shall see, all in due time, but until then....I shall leave you and your little friends alone" his attention then turn to Calchas "As for you, we shall meet again in the near future, weather it be in life....or death...." he gave off a light sounding chuckle before he simply vanished from sight.

Pestilence remained in the hanger for the time being, allowing the kidnapped pilot to do his job, to get the plane ready for flying.  Unbeknowest to him, he had no idea that others were approaching his position....

Neku smirked.
"Just keep up?  You'll be hard pressed to match me, War."
He taunted, lunging quickly forward...

Once he felt ready, Shelton forced his way slowly back to the cockpit, and strapped himself in.

<How soon until we get to Texas?> he asked Kerzach.

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

Once everyone had left his office, Calchas smiled and zapped Shakila for a few seconds. "We're all alone now, love," he leered.

Grabbing a syringe, he took a blood sample from her arm and crossed to his desk to a microscope and a centrifuge.  "If you have anything at all to tell me, now would be the time, else that poison's going to kill you in three hours..."

(Somewhere over TX)

Dr. Kerzach shrugged. "Couple hours or so," he replied.

He then lowered the plane's altitude so they could breathe once the O2 ran out.

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

(Somewhere near the NM-TX)

The SUV pulled into a large truck stop. Several trucks carrying ore and metal were present and many oif the drivers were walking around and stretching their legs.

"Well, we've got to get fuel. In the meantime, feel free to grab a snack, go to the bathroom or whatever," Dr. Zanasiu said as he pulled into a parking space.

Gustave, Alfred and Dr. Bailey stepped out onto the parking lot.

Cobalt Squad got out of their SUV.

"Finally," Spc. Crota muttered as he slithered off to the bathroom.

Sgt. Masters stretched his arms and yawned as he slithered up to the others.

Shakila narrowed her eyes at Calchas slightly, breathing somewhat heavily, feeling the effects of the poison taking effect already "Why should I tell you anything? All I have to do is wait for the poison to kill me, and you'll just be as clueless as you were before....you need me alive to get what you want....all you've done with that other girl is seal your fate.  They'll find me....and they'll probabally kill you and her, along with everyone else here in the process, after all....the time of Dragonstorm has come to an end...."

"We shall see about that...." War answered back as he raised up his sword to block the incoming attack, his sword clashing with Neku's.

With a twist of his wrist, he moved his sword downwards towards Neku's legs, already planning the next step in the process.  It would all depend on what Neku would do next...

Shelton nodded. <Thanks for all the help back there. It took both of us to get out of that mess, plus you did it all to rescue someone you've never even met or think I should have encountered.>

It was not until after everything had settled down that Shelton realized he had not at any point even considered his fear of flying. "Guess that's one phobia taken care of," he muttered into his oxygen mask.

-----------

"Didn't think you were going to talk, and at this point I'm not going to bother to try and make you," Calchas spoke almost to himself. He waited as the blood ran through the centrifuge, separating the poison from the blood components. "It's out of your hands at this point anyway..."

Neku chuckled, vaulting away and then rebounding off a telekinetic wall, flipping behind War with another strike, grinning madly...

Kyriel was halfway down the hall when she stopped, something was in the corner of her eye.  She turned to find a small girl holding a doll in her arms.

"You won't win," the girl said, her voice seeming like a gentle echo.  "They've been getting stronger every day."

"They only get stronger because they haven't dealt with us yet," Kyriel snapped back in a low tone.  "Not to forget, we know they are coming."

"Not ALL of them.  Which is why you want to torture the lady.  She won't tell, and she won't be able to..."

"So you're saying she'll be dead by then..."

"Not her...  You..."

Kyriel clenched her fist in anger.  "At least I knew I can deal with you..."

Just then, a guard interrupted.  "Ma'am.  I've come with the report you seek."

Kyriel quickly turned to the guard, then to where the girl stood.  Where she ONCE stood...

"Ma'am?"

"Well, report..."

"The assassin squad that did the job with that traitor's family are nearly here.  ETA half an hour."

"Good...  Now get back to your post.  We make war as soon as the enemy arrives..."

----------

(New Peenemunde Harbor, Florida)

While Ezekiel's convoy converged on the airstrip, behind Dr O'Niel, a mist began to form and take shape, just as Project Siren leapt against it, bringing her heavy zither down at it.  The mist materialized and deflected the weapon, then jumped back to ready his blades.

"You really can't take a joke, can ya?" Breathtaker replied.

Siren relaxed and set her instrument down, but stayed between the doctor and Breathtaker.

"Good evening to you too, babe..."

----------

The missile silo bay began to open during the countdown...

----------

(New Mexico/Texas)

Chase was the first to hop out before Dr Joe and her bodyguards.  "I can't see why I can't help," he said.  "I did pretty well back in that hotel."

"And we'll be getting the bill for it," Emerson muttered.

Dr Joe shook her head as if she was giving up on something.  "OK...  But I'm going to have to teach you how to control it, so we can avoid blowing up the others..."

----------

(Crimson Base)

Back at the laboratory, the news has spread that the anti-Dragonstorm projects are to be moved, and equipment is being carefully prepared to be loaded onto a set of C-5 Galaxy planes...

"It seems as though we have guests to attend to.  Continue to prepare the machine....I shall go and see what it is that our guests require...." Pestilence turned and made his way towards the hanger doors.

Outside, a bug or two started to buzz around Ezekiel, as if they were examining him along with the other guests present...

***

Soundwave had been watching the camera footage of the hanger carefully, having seen Ezekiel and his team arrive.  He turned to the other experiments working "Continue production as planned, I am afraid that I must attend to matters personally...."

His speech was short, but to the point as he turned around in his Rhino suit and made his way towards the hanger personally.

***

(Las Vegas)

War watched Neku's moves carefully, watching as he bounded over, watching as he swung the blade at him. War made no moves whilst Neku attempted his moves until he moved at the last second, his blade connecting with Neku's blade.

He looked at Neku silently, not saying a word to him as his own sword started to spark with, what seemed like black electricity.  His eyes in turned, changed color, his eyes turning red and he finally spoke to Neku "Your pathetic attempts to try and fight me have so far, been nothing more than an amusing ploy, I am starting to doubt you are even worth my time...."

***

(Texas Base)

Then I guess....all we're going to do now is play the waiting game...." Shakila spoke back with a little grin across her face "And speaking of which....it seems to me that you hadn't thought this through to the very end....not very smart if you ask me...."

Neku chuckled and turned back around.
"You think so?  Heh.  Guess what?  I've already got you in my first trick."
He taunted, as his second blade flared behind War, launching at his back...

Roux smiled and stretched out as she got out of the SUV, attracting several stares and whistles.
"Sorry, boys and girls.  I'm taken~."
She said, smiling back at Aisha...

Dr. Zanasiu, Sharon and Gustave were tasked with refueling the three SUVs. Luckily, they ran on diesel fuel so the truck stop was the perfect place to refuel.

By this time, it was starting to get dark and the desert air, while still warm, was starting to cool a bit.

Alfred stretched and headed into the building. "I'm going to grab a bite to eat, anybody want a snack?"

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

Sgt. Masters leaned against his SUV and lit a cigarette.

Spc. Crota was rather loudly sharing dirty jokes with the Mongoose Cobalt soldier. Both of them were sipping from their bottles of beer.

Dr. Bailey, Dr. Wayne, Zachary and Cobalt Leader were inside the truck stop using the bathrooms.

War simply chuckled lightly "That may be....but you still have to at least....attempt to penetrate my armour...." he spoke, waiting for the blade to make contact with his armour as he continued to hold Neku in place with his blade.

His blade continued to spark with electricity until it happened, a pulse of energy seemed to pulse from War's sword, which would be enough to knock anyone off their feet.  Even if Neku was able to hold back from the pulse of energy, he would still use this chance to take one hand off his sword and reach out towards Neku's throat....

Roux giggled and playfully hip-checked Aisha.
"Mmm...I wonder what my 'boyfriend' would think about the things we did..."
She whispered teasingly...
________________________________________________________________________________________

Neku took the energy pulse, the force of it knocking him backwards.  He flipped in midair, landing on his feet several yards back.  He stood, panting for a moment as he dropped his other sword, both blades hovering behind him.
"Break your armor, huh...?  Heh.  Good thing I came prepared."
He chuckled, reaching back to his hip and drawing a third sword hilt.  This one was longer, heavier-looking, and of a different design than the other two, and he seemed to be having difficulty weilding it with only one hand...

Roux smirked.
"Oh, then he'd really hate what I wanna do once we get to be alone together in that bathroom~"
She murred, tail rubbing Aisha's butt lightly...
