Alfred rolled his eyes. "What else is new?"

He then went inside and closed the door so he could get dressed.

A few minutes later, he returned dressed in his signature blue jeans and flannel shirt and work boots.

"Let's get this over with so I can get back to sleep," he said. "Lead the way."

His bluff called, Ezekiel died effortlessly, leaving the base to Soundwave.

"I wish I knew, but we have one hallway to go," Shelton groaned. "If we keep our heads down, we'll still make it!"

Making sure to hold her hand tightly, Shelton led them at a brisk pace towards the exit.

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

Sharon grinned as Alfred and Dr. Landon approached. " 'Sup, guys," she greeted, "ready for some late-night reconnaissance?"

Nick22 · **Reply #4282 on:** June 21, 2011, 10:07:53 AM

Sure, but make it quick. Alfred and I both need our sleep." DR Landon said. ' we'll follow the track and see where they lead us" he had brought a flashlight along with them " Will we be driving or Going on foot.
aisha was now locked in a passionate makeout session with roux lying on top of her. ' you're real good Roux" Aisha murmured during a short break between kisses.

Roux moaned softly, pressing against Aisha, grinding her hips against her girlfriend's.
"Mmm~... Really? Would you...believe that you're the...first person I've kissed...?"
She moaned...

As Shelton and Shakila ran through the hallway, a large portion of the wall erupted into spikes, impaling several guards before if was sliced open. Slash and Agito stood on the other side of it, both visibly angry. Slash's hands were enveloped in swirling blades of wind, while Agito's entire body was cocooned in spikes.
"Shakila! Are you alright?"
The pair asked in unison...

Nick22 · **Reply #4284 on:** June 22, 2011, 02:34:10 PM

no, really.. you seemed to like hailey as i recall..where is she , by the way, haven't seen her in awhile' aisha said, as she looked up at rouxx.

Serris · **Reply #4285 on:** June 23, 2011, 11:35:37 PM

"Let's just follow them on foot," Gustave said. "I'll lead."

Gustave then followed the tire tracks. The moon was high overhead so Dr. Landon's flashlight was mostly superfluous.

"You know, one thing bugs me," Sharon said as he sniffed the air for threats. "How'd they know that we'd be coming here?"

Alfred said nothing as he walked along the rocky ground.

After several minutes of walking, the group came upon an abandoned SUV. They could clearly see that the SUV's windows had bars on the inside like on a prison transport vehicle.

Sharon examined the tires. "Yep, it's the vehicle that made those tracks."

Gustave tried to open the door. It was locked. He smashed his tail into the window only to see it crack but not actually break.

"Got anything heavy that can break this window?" Gustave asked.

Alfred picked up a rock that appeared to be about 200 or so pounds. "This good enough?"

"Let's not destroy the evidence," Sharon said, as she tried to pick the lock with a hairpin and needle she took from her room.

Alfred simply tossed the rock away, creating a massive "boom" when it landed.

Nick22 · **Reply #4286 on:** June 23, 2011, 11:46:07 PM

landon examined the truck ' this had bulletproof glass' he said .. so it must have carried something or someome important..' he reasoned.. ' shoot the lock out if sharon can't pick it..

Soon enough Xanthus had finally found the contact number of Alfred "Found your friend, I'll get in contact with him and tell him of the situation at hand" he nodded to Aimee as he went to work in doing just that, contacting Alfred, well, his answering machine and left a simple message on the phone.

"I am friends with your friend Aimee, we are still in Las Vegas right now, your other friend Neku, has gone AWOL after Hailey's death at the hands of the Horseman known as Death. We require you to pick us up from Las Vegas as soon as you hear this message"

That was all that the message had contained that Xanthus had left as he walked over to Hailey's body, examining it some more "Poor girl, didn't stand a chance against Death, thing is, I don't think any of us did, he was rather powerful as it is"

"So, what do you suggest we do?" Aimee asked back.

"For now, leave it be, it's all we can do, best we meet up with your friends and go from there" Xanthus replied back.

aabicus (LettuceBacon&Tomato) · **Reply #4288 on:** June 24, 2011, 05:15:42 AM

"I'm fine, thanks for asking," Shelton muttered loudly, as he dodged the wall of spikes.

Serris · **Reply #4289 on:** June 24, 2011, 02:09:54 PM

Sharon swore as the needle and hairpin broke as she tried to pick the lock.

Gustave rolled his eyes and motioned for everyone to move out of the way. He unloaded both barrels of his 4-gauge shotgun at the driver's side window. The bulletproof glass was no match for the heavy slugs. There was now a hole in which Sharon could reach in and unlock the door. When she did so, she climbed into the driver's seat and looked around.

Alfred opened the side doors as well. All he found were some discarded drink cans, several bullet casings and some weapons holders that were currently empty.

"Dead end," Gustave muttered as he opened the tailgate, revealing a spare tire along with survival supplies. He then lifted the false bottom and found several cases of ammunition and spray paint along with "props". "Or not. It looks like this vehicle could be disguised."

Sharon then lifted up a floor mat and noticed several pieces of sophisticated electronics warfare equipment under a false floor. "It looks like this is some kind of mobile radio room - perhaps for eavesdropping or other such purposes."

Alfred scratched his head. "This must have cost a pretty penny and it looks to be in perfect shape. Why would someone dump in in the middle of the desert?"

"Maybe they didn't," Sharon replied. "If I recall, the Texas base is also a training camp for Dragonstorm mercs. Some of whom may have ties to the very dangerous South American drug cartels."

Alfred's eyes widened. "You don't mean... Holy, s---! We've got to tell the others!"

"A little late for that," a voice said.

Gustave growled and slid two more shells into his shotgun. "Show yourself!" he snarled.

Alfred looked around but saw nothing except desert scrub and cacti. Suddenly, he heard a distinct buzzing rattle. He then noticed that there was the tip of a Diamondback Rattlesnake's tail poking out from behind the rear tire. He seized the Diamondback's tail and pulled as hard as possible. When he did so, he suddenly found himself staring at the barrel of a pistol.

Nick22 · **Reply #4290 on:** June 24, 2011, 06:14:14 PM

Landon Pulkled up his gun and pointed it in Alfreds direction " Come on out! he called ": you're outnumbered.come out slowly..

Serris · **Reply #4291 on:** June 25, 2011, 02:19:04 AM

The Diamondback did come out, but several more of his serpentine friends slithered out from beneath the armored vehicle. All but two were unarmed.

"Now who's outnumbered?" the Diamondback asked with a grin, flicking his tongue in and out.

Alfred glared at them. "You know, I could just crush you under my feet," he said.

One of the snakes, a Black Mamba chuckled. "Don't think so sweetie," she said with a chuckle. "You see, you get a full dose of my venom, you die in about ten minutes."

MrDrake · **Reply #4292 on:** June 25, 2011, 05:03:40 AM

"Let me think for a moment. I've been shocked, contended with Death, injured a few timeshad to be revived from near death by Shelton here, and what's more, I've almost been killed by a bunch of spikes that you two had summoned fourth, so no! I am not okay!" Shakila snapped back to the two of them as she rubbed her forehead some with a little groan "Look, can we just get out of here before something else wants to try and kill me next?"

Nick22 · **Reply #4293 on:** June 25, 2011, 03:55:38 PM

you'll have a bullet in your head before you even make a move towards bitting me ' Landon said. And even if you bite him, I'm a medical doctor, I know to treat mamba bites..

Serris · **Reply #4294 on:** June 27, 2011, 12:25:14 PM

The Black Mamba grinned. "Do you have the antivenom right in hand?"

"Don't push your luck," Gustave growled, raising his shotgun. He was the closest to the vehicle. Suddenly, a spray of liquid hit him in the face. Luckily, he had closed his eyes before it hit.

Instantly, Alfred seized a large rock and threw it at the Western Barred Spitting Cobra hiding on the roof. The offending snake slithered off the roof and hid under the SUV

Nick22 · **Reply #4295 on:** June 27, 2011, 03:51:43 PM

Landon started firing at the snakes nearest toi him. there were twelve of them in all, and all of them were poisonous, given the markings on their bodies. The mambas were the deadliest, but if any of them managed to bite, the victim was in serious trouble..Landon had not been bluffing when he had said he knew to how to treat snake bites, and he did have anti-venom on his person, but it would not be enough to treat multiple bites...

aabicus (LettuceBacon&Tomato) · **Reply #4296 on:** June 27, 2011, 09:25:09 PM

Sharon took advantage of the distraction to start hot-wiring the vehicle. If she could take advantage of he car then the snakes would be at a serious disadvantage. Especially the ones underneath the car...

Serris · **Reply #4297 on:** June 27, 2011, 10:16:28 PM

(OOC - The snakes are clothed so the markings on their bodies are not visible but I assume that their heads and "necks" have some visible markings.)

Gustave stepped on a Fer-De-Lance's head as he fired a blast that missed; luckily his heavy boots protected him from the snake's fangs.

Alfred dodged a bite from a Black Mamba but a Western Barred Spitting Cobra shot venom right into his eyes. If he didn't get medical treatment quickly, he could be temporarily or even permanently blinded.

He clamped his hands to his face and screamed in agony as he staggered away. Unfortunately for him, two other snakes, a Black Mamba and a Krait went after him.

Gustave's shotgun boomed as he killed the offending snake - not an easy task thanks to their thin profile.

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

Sharon leaned out the window as she continued hotwiring the SUV. "Anne! Call 911 and get Cobalt Squad here! Al's just got some venom in his eyes!"

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

Meanwhile, Spc. Crota awoke to go to the bathroom. When he turned on the lights, he screamed as he came face to face with a Black Mamba.

Unfortunately, he slept nude so his weapon was not at hand.

"Get out of my room!" he shouted.

The Black Mamba said nothing as he lunged at Spc. Crota with a knife. The two were soon embroiled in a vicious wrestling match, Spc. Crota trying to get the knife away from his assailant, the assailant trying to stab him. Of course, the two were also trying to envenomate the other. Unfortunately, in this case, Spc. Crota's venom was not as strong

"I'm got some anti-venom! Landon said reaching into his jacket and pulling out a vial and he tossed it to Sharon ' squirt his eyes with water and then put that in his eyes. " Do it quickly! the sooner his eyes get the antidote the batter. ' without treatment, he'll go blind in 3-4 hours!" He said

Nick22 · **Reply #4299 on:** June 28, 2011, 11:44:45 PM

Aisha continued making out with Roux, the lovemaking between them becoming more and more intense
