Aisha hopped out of the SUV and headed towards the main Building after Alfred ' this place looks rustic, but its better than nothing..' She added. " Just sign in, give us our key and then i can hope into the tub and take a nice long shower.. goodness knows i need it..

Roux giggled, bouncing after Aisha with her tail wagging madly behind her...

Neku shut his eyes, focusing all his power into his cybernetic arm before throwing a beam of lightning at War, nodding to Hailey.
"Hailey, hit him with a flame blast, okay?!"
He said, eyes gleaming blue...

Shakila did not answer Shelton straight away as she hooked him up to the wires and switched the power on before turning around and heading for the door. An answer finally came from her as she left the room <A poison that was injected into me....not that-> she was cut off as she grasped her chest with one hand and her other hand, pressed against the nearby wall.

She was now already, struggling to breathe. The poison was already starting to take effect within her system. Yet, she did her best to linger....well....stumble forward, her hand still upon her chest as she stumbled backwards, her vision already being messed with as she attempted to concentrate <-long ago....> she finished off after at least a minute had gone by <Like...10 minutes....ago....>

***

Hailey nodded to Neku "You want fries with that?" she joked as she too concentrated before pulling her hands back "Let's hope this works" she added in, a fireball appearing in each hand before clapping her hands together. She seperated them as a bigger fireball appeared in her hands.

"Aimee! I would suggest you get out of the way!" Hailey called out to her friend before firing said fireball at War.

Aimee turned to Hailey for a moment 'Ah, so that's what Hailey's on about' she turned back to War and punched him in the face before jumping out of the way.

Trinity had arrived at where Soundwave was and looked to him before speaking up "I know that Drake is dead, but that gives you no right to take control of this facility"

"This facility has all the resources required to rebuild the Hydra, taking control of this place was the logical choice" Soundwave answered back as he came face to face with Trinity.

Trinity sighed somewhat "I'm sorry, but you were specifically asked to remain confined to one are of this base, so I shall ask you to return to your area immediatly"

"I am sorry Trinity, but that is not a logical path that can be taken, I require the full extent and use of this facility and all the resources that it has to offer" Soundwaved answered "But I do ask that you and that other human leave this facility immediatly, I have no more use for either of you...either leave now or face termination"

Trinity's eyes narrowed at the AI "You do not have the authority to do that"

"You have five minutes to comply" Soundwave retorted back before turning and heading off.

***

Pestilence finally stepped out to face O'Neil and spoke to him straight away "Soundwave will not listen to reason, he is one of thse AIs that you humans have created, and they will eventually turn against their creators...it is....unstoppable, Trinity will fail in her quest to stop Soundwave"

O'Neil glanced at the hideous being in front of him. "Well, are you interested in helping us out?" he asked. "Dragonstorm always has room for qualified individuals, and you have proven to be very capable. If you help Trinity Soundwave, I can use my vast array of resources to help you in whatever goals you may be trying to achieve."

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

Calchas cried out as the electricity coursed through his veins. He shook and struggled, but couldn't free himself from his own expertly-crafted chair.

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

"Shakila!" Shelton rushed forward and tried to help catch her. "Are you--should I--"

He looked around the room. <ROSS!> he yelled.

No answer. He realized he needed the flashlight to communicate.

"Shakila," he held on to her arms. "I've got to go to his desk and see if he has an antidote, hold on!"

He swiped it off the floor as he sprinted to the lab table. <ROSS, Shakila has been poisoned, and she's dying. we need to find an antidote!>

Shelton checked the biological equipment on the table. <Calchas was working on one, but he didn't finish. It's doable, but I need your fast calculating!>

<I'm at your service,> ROSS replied.

<Shakila!> Shelton called to her as he focused the microscope and checked the synthesizing charts. <Stay awake! Stay with me, Shakila!>

"It was rescued by DS-1 during the SORA mission about two weeks ago," Zenarchis explained. "When this tab is pulled, it envelops the wearer in a series of interlocking curved plates, like an iris, that protect him from attack. The mission proved that the Iris is almost impenetrable."

MrDrake · **Reply #4164 on:** May 23, 2011, 08:05:09 PM

Perhaps these humans weren't so bad after all. Pestilence considered the idea for a moment orso before he spoke "Very well then, your propersition is acceptable....after all, I do require a few things here as it is...."

He stopped himself as Trinity entered the room "Seems as though we have a problem, the AI that Drake has created has indeed, gone rouge...to the point in giving us five mintues to leave before we are terminated"

Yet, as Trinity spoke, she sounded calm all the while as she glanced to Pestilence, then back to O'Neil "Too bad we aren't going to comply with his orders" she smirked.

Shakila looked up at Shelton rather weakly as she coughed and wheezed all the while <Just....just don't....don't take to...long....> was all she could say.

Nick22 · **Reply #4165 on:** May 23, 2011, 11:42:14 PM

sure thing landon replied " be sure to pick out a good movie.. I hear theres a new program out about the Civil war.." ' well history is fun, but I'm letting Roux pick..' aisha said.

The chair shorted out, and with ragged gasps Clchas observed his mangled wrists. He was only alive because Shelton hadn't bothered to attach the electrical nodes, but the smell of charred flesh hung around him, and he was bleeding from the wrists and nose.

"Have fun dying with me," he hissed at Shakila. "You were never going to get out of this room alive!"

---------

O'Neil smiled. "What is your plan?"

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

Sharon parked the vehicle. "We're here," she smiled.

As the others got out, she glanced at Anne, hoping to see where she was and engage her in conversation.

MrDrake · **Reply #4167 on:** May 25, 2011, 04:09:26 AM

"Well, if Soundwave fails to listen to reason....we will have no choice but to destroy him. We can not risk Dragonstorm's reputation with a rouge AI such as Soundwave, changing things around to his own advantage, putting Dragonstorm at risk" Trinity answered back as she glanced to Pestilence momentarily.

She walked over to O'Neil "Excuse me for a moment" she turned her attention to his computer and started to type upon it "I just need to find out some information on Soundwave's own data...."

Her eyes arched somewhat "Diamontanium?" she questioned as she looked at the file in question "How....how is that even possible? Hmm, it seems like this may very well complicate things...."

***

<Hurry....> was all Shakila could say this time as her hand went dead....her life was getting shorter and shorter with each passing second that was wasted away.

aabicus (LettuceBacon&Tomato) · **Reply #4168 on:** May 25, 2011, 05:20:57 PM

"Done!" Filling the syringe hurriedly, Shelton whipped it off the lab desk and sprinted towards Shakila.

<Remember, this is an intramuscular injection,> cautioned ROSS, <so you have to-->

<I know, I know!> Shelton reached Shakila and laid her flat on her stomach. He pushed the syringe stopper, removing the small bubble of air in the syringe. He readied himself, then he paused. <Intramuscular injections go in the...in the...>

<Dorsogluteal muscle,> ROSS reminded. <Upper, outer quadrant of the buttock.>

<Right, there!> Shelton slid the panties down, prepared the chosen area, and carefully injected the antidote. "This may sting a little, sorry..." he warned Shakila.

"What is...?" O'Neil read over her shoulder. "Hmm. Under normal chemical bonding circumstances, such a metal would normally be impossible. I wonder what the Mohs--"

Suddenly Ezekiel burst into the room. "What is going on here with that AI?" he snapped. He noticed Pestilence. "And you? Why did you kill all of my pilots‽"

Aisha went up to the front desk and took out a credit card 'I'd like to rent a room please, double beds if possible, lets say king size beds... do you get wi-fi out here? she asked the clerk as Roux came up to her.

StarfallRaptor · **Reply #4170 on:** May 25, 2011, 08:21:09 PM

Roux giggled as she stood next to Aisha, tail wagging a mile a minute, and preening herself nervously...

Neku chuckled as he saw the flames swirl around War, grinning wider as he saw that the armor on War was glowing with the heat, and crackling with electricity.
"Hey War! How about you chill out?"
He taunted, lifting a nearby refrigeration supply truck and flinging it at War, simultaneously kinetically using one of his swords to cut open a fire hydrant and spraying the water at War...

Serris · **Reply #4171 on:** May 25, 2011, 08:35:43 PM

The clerk, a Boa Constricter who may or may not have been drunk, lazily flicked his tongue as he scanned Aisha's card. "Here's your key, cabin #4," he said. "And yes, we've got Wi-Fi, login instructions are in your room. Have a nice night."

Cobalt Squad was next in line. Each of the soldiers pulled out their methods of payment and a military ID (Cobalt Leader with a debit card, Spc. Crota and the Mongoose Cobalt soldier with credit cards, Sgt. Masters with cash). They all got one cabin - Cabin #7.

Dr. Zanasiu was sitting between Sharon and Dr. Williams. He was busy reading USA Today. His eyes gasped as he read the headline: "Vegas Destroyed By Strange Powers."

Nick22 · **Reply #4172 on:** May 25, 2011, 08:42:06 PM

Dr Landon picked out room #5. ' lets go see our rooms and see aisha and roux off..
' do you guys need me to go any research for you? aisha asked them as they walked out ' it'll allow me something to do besides watch movies with Roux..not that i mind watching them with she said petting roux on the head.

Serris · **Reply #4173 on:** May 25, 2011, 08:47:04 PM

"See if you can find any information about a youth correctional facility here," Alfred said as he followed Aisha to his cabin - which was right next to hers. He was carrying his luggage.

Gustave offered to help Aisha carry her luggage.

Unbeknowst to them, someone was watching them from behind a clump of scrubby desert grass.

Gustave heard something rustling but since it was somewhat windy, he just assumed it was the wind or just simply some insects.

Nick22 · **Reply #4174 on:** May 25, 2011, 08:49:35 PM

thanks Gustave' Aisha said as she operned the door to her and Roux's room the room itself was nice with a fridge and a computer sitting next to it on the counter " Just drop my bags next to the first bed ' she said as she found the remote and flipped thriough the channels..

StarfallRaptor · **Reply #4175 on:** May 26, 2011, 05:50:11 PM

Roux smiled a little and hugged Gustave.
"Thank you... and I'm sorry about earlier at the truck stop..."
She said softly to him...

Nick22 · **Reply #4176 on:** May 26, 2011, 06:02:20 PM

just make yourself comfortable " Roux.. I'll go get changed and then we can start picking out movies to preview Aisha said.. " you get first pick naturally.. if you get bored we cab switch to something else..

MrDrake · **Reply #4177 on:** May 26, 2011, 06:29:45 PM

Trinity looked over to Ezekial "Soundwave has decided to take control of this facility for itself" she replied back casually "However, I am still going to at least attemt to destroy the suit it's created....if that is possible to do all that easily....this Diamontanium may be tough to even break though"

Pestilence waited for Trinity to finish speaking before he would answer the question directed at him "Those pilots failed to adhere to my rerquest, so I'm afraid that they did have to die in the end....however, this fleshling has offered to help in place...." he motioned to O'Neil.

***

Shakila was no longer concious as Shelton spoke and injected the antidote into her, so she was unable to feel a thing.....

***

War stepped forward as Neku started to freeze him up. At first nothing seemed to be happening "Your feeble attempts to defeat myself have dragged on for long enough....and it is time for you to now fall" however, as War approached Aimee and raised his sword above his head, the freezing had finally finished and War was frozen in one spot.

But for how long....that was the question that remained.

Xanthus clapped lightly "Very well done....I would have never had thought of using your powers in a combination attack like that to bring down War in that fashion" he chuckled lightly "I am impressed"

Aimee just rolled her eyes at Xanthus' remarkand walked over to Neku and Hailey "You sure that'll hold him? Cause I dout War would be defeated al that easily by just being frozen....there has to be more to it than that"

"It was to do with his armor, we're hoping that's enough to at least crack it some more....or even shatter it completely so that we can at least then stand a real chance against him" Hailey answered back.

StarfallRaptor · **Reply #4178 on:** May 27, 2011, 01:30:33 AM

Neku chuckled.
"Aimee, you wanna do the honors?"
He asked, eyes still deadly serious...

aabicus (LettuceBacon&Tomato) · **Reply #4179 on:** May 27, 2011, 03:28:36 AM

Shelton removed the syringe and checked her pulse. <She's not breathing!> "Shakila, wake up!" He turned her back onto her side. "Shakila!"

Her heart had stopped. Shelton immediately began administering CPR. "Come on, Shakila," he panted, after the third attempt at artificial respiration. "Come on!"

Behind him, Calchas had passed out from pain and blood loss.

Sharon smiled at James and Anne. "Do you guys want to share a room?" she asked.
