He sits in the dim lit cell staring at the floor, rage locked up within him. He has been in prison for five years with no charge. All he knows is that Tsubasa is responsible for all of it. Gaurd: *clings on the cell cage* morning beautiful, you have a visitor. god knows why. You got 15 minutes, and no funny stuff, you are lucky to get a visitor after you tried to escape using the last as a hostage. Rob: yeah.. whatever, bring him in *in a grim rough voice* Mukuro walks in and Robs eyes get big Rob: Mu.. Mukuro: shh, long time no see, how are u holding up. Rob: I been in hell for 5 damn years. Mukuro: Yeah, General Fei gives his condolences, its been hard trying to get in here. I barley met clearance, its not like anyone can come in and see you, ya know? Rob: I can imagine. Guard: 1 minute Mukuro: geez what kinda time do they run on? Rob: when ever they get hungry.. Mukuro: at least u havent lost ur sense of humor. *smerk*, anyways here take this. Mukuro hands Rob a small device Rob: what is this? Mukuro: its a remote control to the Nexon Rob: Nexon? Mukuro: its a ship, to get your ass out of here. Rob: well thats nice and all, but can u explain how the hell this is gonna work. Its not like i can walk out this door and step inside and then fly off. Guard: times up Mukuro: There are volarian troops in hiding around the facility. just wait for the signal. you will know when it is time. Mukuro leaves as Rob hides the remote under the cot. he leans back on the wall with a smerk. Rob: soon tsubasa... soon you will experiance what the IE did when you screw with the wrong man. OOC: Az, i know u havent signed up yet, but I was told you weren't gonna be Mukuro so i used him as an NPC. if you have any problem with that, pm me. (i wont be using him as a major NPC or anything) Vyper - Mon Sep 22, 2003 6:04 pm Post subject: Music Playing: Engel - Rammstein (Download it!) Camera: Low tech rural planet, much like earth with less oceans, smaller. Zoom in to planet, go through atmosphere, dark clouds with thunder everywhere. Goes through clouds to see large area of forests, with a large clearing. Areas of the clearing light up. Small gray speckles can be seen. As the camera gets closer it can be seen that the speckles are buildings. A fight is raging in the small city. /End Camera Hiroko is in the Entropy, crouched behind some debris. A large squad of twelve suits is opposite the street, in firing position. Hiroko points his beam rifle around the corner and looks at them. Hiroko: Hmmmmm -strokes chin- The squad begins pinning Hiroko with fire. Hiroko turns around and raises and attempts to shoot the squad leader. To his dismay, he is nicely hidden behind debris himself. Hiroko opts for once with a bazooka. Fire grazes the Entropy's torso. Hiroko fires and nails the suit square in the face. Another beam grazes the head and he ducks again. The squad begins advancing his position, keeping well behind cover along the street. Hiroko: Who ARE these people?! Where are the other vets.. Hiroko pops up to fire again, but is taken by dread supriseand thrusts backwards behind his chunk of debris, narrowly dodging a long, powerful concentrated beam that shot straight through his debris. Hiroko cringed, 'Snipers.' Hiroko pulled a metal tube from a utility pack on his back right shoulder and fastened it to an area on his rifle, a grenade launcher peripheral. He popped up, and fired at the corner of the building the sniper was perched on for a vantage point. The grenade made contact, throwing concrete everywhere and causing the half of the building to cave in. The sniper fell and was covered by concrete. One arm reached upwards through the rubble. The concrete dust made a convenient smokescreen. Hiroko switched to thermal imaging and thrusted upwards, and shot another two rocket propelled grenades at two suits. One missed its target but nailed the street, causing a large portion to cave into the sewers. The other found its mark right on the torso of the suit, leaving all but its limbs. Hiroko then heard a call on the radio. Radio: This is the 102nd UEN Special Ops unit, calling a backup request to the 105th. We are located at the emitting distress beacon. Hiroko: Those fools, they're using our radio frequency and it's not even encrypted. Hiroko slowly descended from ceasing his boost, and rained fire on another suit, critically damaging it, and effectively disabling it. However, an indicator on his armaments monitor beeped wildly, he only had two rounds remaining in his rifle, to take out nine units. He fired them, but to no avail. He discareded his rifle and quickly lost the idea of rushing them with his blades. He hid behind his debris for an absolution. Radio: Advancing. We may have the situation under controll. Proceed anyways. Radio(Response): Affirmative. Remember, take no prisoners. Let none escape. Noone is to hear of this operation. Shuttles and other vehicles take priority on attack; even above hostile suits. Hiroko sat there, holding his position as the heavy support portions of the squad fired their rocket launchers, blowing large chunks out of his debris. It would only be moments before he was plainly in sight. Hiroko heard a familiar noise. It was a pulsating humming of a transport... Hiroko: The Zephyr? Hiroko to Auriana: GET OUT OF HERE!! Auriana: Just thought I'd drop you a present =D The Zephyr zoomed over and dropped a large crate. The attack squad took notice. One boosted up after it and shot cluster pursuit missiles. Hiroko: NO!! YOU BASTARDS!! The cluster missiles found their mark on the Zephyr, causing the back to burst into flames and it went wildly out of control, spinning at high velocities towards the ground. An explosion was heard and trees bursted into flames, creating a rapid forest fire, turning the backdrop of the battlefield into a raging inferno. The crate crashed into the ground, the box into splinters revealing a huge gun eighty feet long. Hiroko: It's time you met Excalibur. Hiroko picked the long gun up and went into a read stance, one knee on the ground and the other in a crouched position. Hiroko, not fearing the incoming fire from the attack squad, pointed it at the right flank. A large barrel somewhat resembling a revolver wtih extremely bright cells began spinning at insanse speeds. Magnetic debris in the general area of the gun lifted into the air and began flying into a cyclone behind the weapon, tearing up anything in its path. The huge magnetic field around it caused the arms of some suits to stick to their torsos, close suit's sensors went haywire. Hiroko: Well, enough of that, wouldn't you say? That was the opening show. Now it's time for the fireworks. A high pitched squeal followed by a pressurized ricochet was the sound that preceded a massive beam that was the width of the entire street. Suits put their small beam shields up, but resistance just caused them to be violently thrown back into buildings hard enough to disable the suits. The others that didn't resist were transformed into glowing, molten globs of metal. Hiroko smirked. Hiroko: That'll teach them to come he-AHHHH!!!!!!!! A huge impact nailed the side of the Entropy, severely dislocating the right arm rendering it useless, and throwing him some 200 feet backwards before being slammed into a wall. Hiroko's thruster malfunctioned. The legs were in a bad position and couldn't be used until he was freed, and his left arm was wedged into the wall by the torso. The entire Entropy was halfway in the building. Leader of 105th: We have been instructed not to take prisoners. It is our policy of the UEN that we deliver any messages you may want to give to loved ones if the oppurtunity allows so. Do you have any messages? Hiroko: Yes.. I am one of the few solely responsible for you being in the position your are in now. I defeated the IE.. Hiroko clenches his arm, which is now bleeding profusely. Leader of 105th: Don't give me that bs.. not only have you wiped out one of our squads, but you have desecrated the name of those heroes who saved us from the wrath of the IE. For this, you will be tortured to death. Close all incoming transmissions. Men, slowly impale him with your beam sabres set to the highest temperature. Hiroko sighed. Hiroko: So this is how it's going to end. Hiroko felt excessive heat coming from behind. He heard the fuel of his thrusters explode. Sparks flew inside of his cockpit, the console became so hot it singed his skin. Hiroko was sweating at extreme degrees. It must have been at least 145 degrees in the cockpit. His clothes began sticking to him. One of the monitors exploded, making plasma spray all over the cockpit. The blood he had bled over the console began bubbling. Hiroko: -smirk- An orientation to hell. Large machine noises were heard outside, a profound 'ka-chakchakchak'. Hiroko: Radiator failing? Suddenly the heat began slowly dissapating. Explosions were heard. A constant beam. Missiles and explosions. Slicing metal. More explosions. Hiroko: That noise.. railguns? But that combination could only be of the.. A loud, throaty seering sound overcame the chaos, closely followed by vibration. Hiroko: No way... it can't be. The seering came to a stop and turned into a throbbing humming. Hiroko heard clamps and he could feel his suit buing pulled. Chunks of rock and cement fell as he was pulled from the building. He felt the distinct feeling of elevation. Several minutes passed. The cockpit opened to a cool interior. Hiroko: Zanzabar.. Hiroko grinned. It was virtually the only home he ever had. Auriana, who was somewhat burned on one side, bandaged Hiroko's arm up. They walked into the lounge and looked at the monitors. The city was surrounded by a raging fire. Several more squads moved throughout the city. One looked up at them and pointed its weapon, but they soon broke through the clouds. A large mobile landing base was seen descending throguh the clouds at the same time. Hiroko: Auriana, I highly suggest we we go see your brother. Strider Hiryu - Tue Sep 23, 2003 7:22 am Post subject: Denethor sat at the controls to the testing room with about 5 different scientists flanking him. They were all watching the newly built Thalanus as it was being tested by one of the Volarians top pilots. Volarian Pilot: This suit handles nicely. I wouldn't be surprised if we chose to buy this. Now whats next on this testing agenda. Denethor: Well according to your superiors they want to test its combat ability and its speed. To do this we will have you fight against one of the earlier models of that suit, the Drath Ryvius. After Denethor said that the five scientist in the room stared at him in disbelief. The scientists new that the only two people to be able to pilot that were himself and his son and since he was in the room that could mean only that his son would be piloting it this time around. VP: So where is this Drath Ryvius of yours? Aiden: Right here. The Ryvius decloaks right behind the Thalanus suit. In response the pilot in the Thalanus turned the suit around and attacked head on with a beam saber only to have it deflected by one of Ryvius's beam sabers. Denethor: Alright the test hasn't started yet. Aiden take the Ryvius to the other end of the testing field and then we'll start. Aiden: As you wish father. The Ryvius thrusted over the the other side and then faced the Thalanus. The Volarian pilot was a little shaken from the little surprise he was given. VP: Alright lets not do that again. Can we start now. Denethor: Yes. We will start with combat testing. We will begin....Wait a second. One of the scientists walks up to Denethor and whispers something in his ear. Denethor jumps up an runs out the door to the control room in a hurry. Scientist: Something came up but we will continue the test as planned. Begin. The two suits begin the combat test as Denethor continues to run down the hall, towards Lab C-5. Denethor: God damnit I thought I told them not to test the PT weapons unless I was around. Damnit I just hope no one got hurt. Denethor continued to run, worried that someone was hurt or worse that someone had gotten killed using this weaponry. He arrived at the lab about 5 min after leaving the testing room. He was relieved to see that no one was hurt. Denethor: What happened in here? Scientist: We have no idea. We were checking the settings of the gun here when it fired on its own. No one was hurt but you might want to get that whole in the wall there fixed. Denethor: God I thought I told you not to fool around with this stuff unless myself, Aiden, Ayame, or Spike was here. Scientist: So sorry sir. We thought it would be alright seeing as how you were only a few feet away. Denethor: Don't worry about it. I'm leaving in a few hours to go do some testing on the Ryvius again so don't touch the weapons until they are loaded onto the Shadow Stalker and we are ready for testing. Scientist: As you wish sir. Denethor turned around and walked out of the lab. He hardly noticed the whole in the wall or the ones to follow after it knowing all to well what PT weaponry was capable of. He headed back to the testing room so that they could finish the testing of the Thalanus and send the results to the Volarian Army's base. Denethor: God this day just keeps getting more interesting by the minute. DeathscytheX - Tue Sep 23, 2003 11:37 am Post subject: IC: Rob sits in his cell for hours, he looks at the small remote and wonders how it is going to help him any, it was just a small piece of plastic with 2 buttons. The lights begin to dim on and off, and the Prison alarm sounds. PA: Code 4, Alert Code 4, armed personnel head to your stationed wings of the facility. The power malfunction caused all of the cell doors to malfunction some of them opened up, but Rob's whole block stayed shut. Rob: dammit. The guards pull the prisoners back, trapping them with throw nets, some were shot. Screams of pain and chaos filled the halls below. A guard comes to check on Rob’s cell and notices he is no longer in sight. Guard: WHAT?! OH NO! The guard opens the cell and runs in looking around for where Rob could have gotten out. Hiding under the cot Rob leg swept the guard off his feet, and rolled out from under it. The guard got back up and started to run out the cell to close it, but Rob drop kicked him before he could close the cell successfully. On the ground the guard pulls out his gun only to be kicked out. Rob stomps on the guards face shattering his nose. The guard rolls over in pain, Rob stomps on his neck, killing him. He picks up the gun and starts to run down the hall, a sentry sees him and begins to fire at him, Rob rolls and hides behind the wall. He pulls out the remote and mashes one of the buttons. Rob: this better work. Just as he thought that, the device shatters in his hand as a bullet rips through it. Rob fires at the guard hitting him trough the mouth, He proceeds down the hall shooting the 1st guard in the leg. Rob: there is no way to get out through the main entrance. My only hope is the top. I don’t even know what the hell I’m doing. Guard on the PA: Alert, Alert, Rob Opsulous has escaped his cell, shoot to kill, I repeat, Shoot-to-kill. Rob starts making his way up the staircases, gun fire rains down from above, sparks fly due to rapid metal to metal contact. Rob makes his way up the steps slowly, sentries fall down the steps from Rob's precision shooting. He runs out of ammo, and panics, chucking the gun at one officer pelting him in the head, the Officer falls over the rail knocked out. Rob takes the binding wires off the officer’s uniform, and proceeds out the door at the top. The piercing cold didn’t effect Rob, his adrenaline was running he didn’t even notice he twisted his ankle. He runs frantically looking for a ship off the side of the edges. Rob: Nothing! dammit! Rob hears gunfire from below (exchange between volarian and guards), and then the sound of engines. All terrain speeders armed with mini guns zipped around the top of the building, Rob ran as flickers of snow hit him from the bullets impacting near his feet. He trips and falls on his face. Guard: I have you now Rob, watches as the Guard comes at him at an alarming rate fo speed. Rob takes out the binding wire and strafes out of the way catching the guard by the neck, taking him off the speeder. Rob quickly makes a knot, and ties the other end to the back of the speeder. He hops on and zips around to the other side with the guard trying to take the wire that is cutting into his neck, Rob out one speeder with the minigun. He power braked near the edge, and the guard flew off and was decapitated as the end of the wire reached its limit. Before rob could celebrate his speeder was hit and it started to slow down drastically. He hit a jump and jumped off, the stray speeder impaled another guard off his speeder, making his speeder slam into the guard that shot Rob's. Rob got up, looking down at the edge, a 600 foot drop. The sound of cocking guns filled the air. Rob got on all fours and clinched his fists. 'damn' he thinks. Warden: Slowly Mr. Opsulous Rob gets up, determined he wasn’t going to go back. Rob: *smirks* f*ck you Rob jumps off the side of the building as the guards watch on in shock. Rob waited for his death only to hit solid metal about 10 feet down. Rob rolls over in extreme pain, He didn’t expect to hit so soon. When he rolled over he almost had a heat attack, he could still see the ground below. It was like he was flying In mid air. He picked one of his hands up, and solid black armor faded away as soon as his hand left the surface. Rob: cloaking device. A door appeared in thin air, Rob wasted no time rolling into it, as gunfire started coming from above. Rob hit the floor of the vessel. Rob: Get us out of here... He passes out on the floor and the Ship flees out of the atmosphere, headed on a predetermined course. Dr Satan - Wed Sep 24, 2003 12:13 am Post subject: ooc: Imagine Monty speaking in a french accent. Too hard to type. And if you look carefully you'll find a hidden message . ic: Intro Music: Got the Life (Korn) Mercenary jobs had been slow in coming. The need for an odd job in a warless universe was not needed. So Monty had been forced to find a job. He had found sanctuary on Kon, a capital planet in Sector 7. He had been shackled up in a Penthouse owned by his father, overlooking the Turuvian River. He found work in a small restaurant as a waiter bringing a small wage. ACHOO !!!!! 'Sniffle' 'No Mr. Torito', he says into the large oversized novelty phone, 'I'm not trying to skip out on work. I am really truly sick. Yes, Yes I will. No. Yes. Thank you. Uh, Uh. Yes Good-Bye Mr. Torito'. He hangs up the large phone into an even larger cradle, leans back in a plush E-Z-Boy, wraps a cotton blanket around his shoulders and sips his lemon chamomile tea.'God, what an old windbag.' 'Knock, Knock, Knock' 'Good evening Sir or Ma'am. I am from Sectional Intertwined Courier Delivery:Unital Division. I am looking for a Mister De Brow-Broow Sha.' ' Its Pronounced DeBrouchee and if it doesn't have a UEN official tag, I won't except it'. A ruffling of papers and a small sigh later, ' I'm Sorry sir. It Doesn't have a Tag. Unfortunately our company was given specific directions and one of them was to give it directly to you no matter what we have to do'. ' Fine. Slip it under the door and step away from it'. Monty looks towards the door and sees the edges of the envelope sticking from underneath the door. ' I'm sorry again Sir but this is as far as it will go'. 'Okay, Okay just step away from the door,' Monty says in a hurried and frustrated tone. He unlocks the deadbolted door and slowly opens it. There in the hallway a couple of doors down is a pasty faced delivery guy, looking like a small weasel. A shy smile is all he can manage. ' You also have to sign this', He says as he takes a step forward. 'Stop! If you move another inch I will have to remove your hands and stick them in a very unpleasant place'. ' Well I am sorry once again, but you do have to sign this. Business'. 'Fine. Slide it over'. The whooshing sound seem a joke to Monty as the delivery guy wrenched his hands over and over again. His name seemed more of a joke as he dotted the only I in his name. His delicate writing would seem atrocious to a full-blooded French, But to the ignorant it seemed a fanciful decoration. He slid the electronic clipboard back over to him and, with taking up his package, promptly closes the door. He turns the package over and over in his hands. A small lump in the middle is the only hint to the contents. Monty rips the zipline revealing a portable phone, one of the highest quality. It is the length of a pencil, while being as thin as one. After examining it, it rings. He finds the small button to answer it, and with wondering fingers, he presses it. 'Good evening Mr. Debrouchee. My employers have expressed extreme interest in your services. They are willing to pay a large salary for the completion of your job'. 'What kind of job is this'? 'It is an assassination job'. 'Okay, Who and last seen where'. ' His name is Rob Opsulous. Last seen in a maximum security facility on Lockcade Minor. My employers deem it responsible to use extreme force in taking him down as he is a threat to this great universe of ours'. ' I would be willing to take this job. Unfortunately, I am short on funds right now and my equipment has been depleted extremely'. ' We are well aware of your financial situation. My employers are willing to outfit your excursion with the latest equipment'. ' What will this job pay'? ' They have secured a bank account with triple Rob Opsulous's original reward that was promised'. For once, Monty is speechless. That would be more than what a high level scientist would make in 2 years. And of course, Monty had heard that name before. Rob was on the top of the I.E. Wanted list, which was an extremely short list. Monty was 6th, which seemed a long way from the top but Monty tries. ' Where would I be able to pick up this equipment'? ' 5 trucks of your supplies have been ordered and will stop by your hangar after you have confirmed the job'. 'What happens if I get fingered for his death'? 'Again my employers are ready to hide your trip from prying eyes'. ' Your employers seem like gods. May I ask your name our maybe these employers you keep referring too'? ' You may call me Mr. Iris. But my Employer's wish too keep their information secret. Do I have your answer'? 'Well Mr. Iris it seems as though your a very good businessman. I agree to your terms'. ' Very well. The trucks are en route to your hangar as we speak. And as a warning, many of my informants have reported three heavily armed bounty hunters have entered your building. Just a warning'. The line goes dead as boots are heard on the landing down the hall. Suddenly, silenced gunfire rip through his neatly polished door, blowing neat little holes in it. Monty pulls his Tier Revolver from its holster on his side and takes up a defensive position by the door. Witnesses report that two men fell 120 stories to their deaths, one hitting a car on his way down crashing into pedestrians below, killing one; injuring another. Police reports that a third was found with half his skull blown away. Also discovered was a Delivery personel 20 stories below the reported incident, with several entry wounds from weapons found near the scene. Suspects have yet to be identified. ooc: Did you find it?? huh, huh? If you did, then goodie for you!!! And again if any of this is a no-no then tell me how stupid i am. Strider Hiryu - Wed Sep 24, 2003 7:10 am Post subject: Denethor entered the testing room shortly after heading back from Lab C-5. When he entered he found that the testing had been completed. Denethor: Well that was quick. So whats the word? Scientist: Well test went as we had planned. The pilot of the Thalanus is quite impressed with how well the suit handles and say he will be recommending that they should buy it to his superiors. All the data is sitting on that disk over there and just requires your ok before it can be sent. Denethor: Right. So Aiden did you go easy on the pilot or was he actually good enough to beat you. Aiden: *laughs* Don't joke like that father. You know all to well that I went easy on him. Denethor: *smirks* Good. Now take the Ryvius down to loading dock 5 and get it on board the Shadow Stalker. We leave in an hour to go back out and do some testing on it. If you see your mother tell here where we'll be. Aiden: Alright. The Ryvius disappears from where it was standing, having cloaked itself. It headed to the door of the testing room and left through it heading to loading dock 5. Denethor went over and picked up the disk. Denethor: So the suit is ok by the pilot? Scientist: Well it seemed he was pleased. I think he suspects that we went easy on him but he did push the Thalanus to the brink of its abilities so we were able to see its true potential. We have a feeling that the Volarians will be pleased with the data they will recieve. Denethor: Good. Now I'm leaving. I want you to send the new equipment for the Ryvius to the Shadow Stalker. I want to test it today. Scientist: Alright. I will send it all to the Shadow Stalker immediately. Oh yes if you see Spike would you tell him that his suit is almost finished being repaired. I was told to relay this message from the mechanics. Denethor: Right. Denethor turned and walked out of the room with the disk in hand. He headed toward the nearest elevator and entered it, hitting the button that would take him down to lvl 6 where loading dock 5 was situated. A few minutes later the elevator arrives on lvl 6 and he and he exits the elevator only to meet Spike. Spike: Ah Denethor, how are you? Denethor: Doing just fine old friend. How are loading preperations going? Spike: All Ryvius equipment has been loaded onto the Shadow Stalker. I'm still waiting for Aiden to arrive with the Ryvius so I can secure it in the hanger bay. Denethor: Good. Oh yes I was told that your suit is almost finished being repaired. Spike: Ah good. Now I'll be able to help out again. Denethor: Bah you know what happened last time you tried to help us during a test. Spike: Hey I didn't think you were serious about testing the PT weaponry yet. Denethor: I told you before what the test would consist of. Spike: Yea but still I wasn't sure if you were serious or not. Anyways lets get to the Shadow Stalker. Denethor: Good idea. Spike and Denethor head down the hall toward loading dock 5. Along the way they are greeted by many of DDS workers and such. They arrive at the loading dock to see that the Ryvius had just arrived and was now being loaded onto the Shadow Stalker. Spike ran off to help while Denethor headed for the hatch on the left side of the ship. When he entered he was greeted by the SS's AI. SS: About damn time. I thought I'd never get to talk to you again. Its been about three months since we last talked. Denethor: Sorry. You know since you became the AI of the Shadow Stalker you've become more annoying then you were when you were the AI of the Shadow Sun. SS: I'll take that as a compliment. Anyways what are we doing today thats so important. Denethor: We're testing the Ryvius again. We need to see if it will be able to handle all of the PT weaponry we've been equipping it with. Now if you do not mind I need to go a review some data before we head out. SS: Whatever. I expect you to talk to me later though. Denethor: As you wish. Denethor headed straight for the bridge of the Shadow Stalker and sat in the navigators chair. He placed the disk in the slot on the panel and began to review the data as it displayed itself on the screen. DeathscytheX - Wed Sep 24, 2003 1:13 pm Post subject: OOC: Dr. Satan, I would advise that you change ur alliance if you plan on taking this course of storyline. I't would make no sense for the UEN to order the assassination of a Volarian ally. I reccomend being apart of the Old Republic, it would fit better. that or just change whom ever ur going after, or the post all together. IC: Rob Woke up laying on the floor where he landed when he rolled on the ship. He slowly got up, holding the back of his head. He looked around and noticed he was on a transport ship that was going somewhere. He go up, and almost fell back down gripping the wall. Rob: damn, i must have twisted my ankle. AI: The medical room is too your right. Rob: whao! *looks around* who is that? where are you?! AI: I am Bishop, the Nexon's Computer system. Rob: *puts hand on forhead* you scared the hell out of me. Bishop: That was not my intention. Rob: yeah... right. Rob wraps up his ankle and begins to walk around the ship, he walks into the back where there is a massive hangar that can hold 3 heavy suits. Impressed, he visits the engine rooms, and the living quarters. there are 3 guest quaters and a master quaters. Rob: Wow, someone really went out of there way, this place has the works. Bishop: You're coffee is ready. Rob: *startled* stop doing that!! Bishop: Doing what? Rob: grrr Rob walks to the dining area, there was a nice sized round table that could seat eight people, a storage cooler, mircowave, thermal cooker, mini-bar, and an coffee machine. Rob pours himself a cup of coffee and walks to the cockpit. Bishop: piloting while holding a hot liquid can be hazardous. Rob: yeah yeah, *sips* this coffee tastes like crap, what kind is it? Bishop: It is your favorite polarian blend. Rob: Damn, it sure has went downhill in the last 5. Bishop: sorry sir. Rob: no need for apologizing, and dont call me sir. Rob will do. Im looking at the monitors, where are we going? Bishop: The location has been predetermined. Rob: I know that, but to where? Bishop: a Volarian Class A Battlecrusier, The name was not given, just the coordinates. Rob: I see, can I pilot, or is it strickly automatic. Bishop: you may control the direction the Nexon is going, but as soon as u let go, it will head back on course. Rob: Well according to these directions, we are taking the long way, I guess taking alittle shortcut wouldnt hurt. Bishop: I would advise against that. Rob: relaaax, what is the worst that can happen? look at all this weaponry this bad boy has. Taking the Osirus II jump gate would make the distance 2/3 shorter. Once we get through there, I'll let go of the controls. Rob finishes his coffee then takes teh controls of the Nexon, and heads for the Osirus II jump gate. He thinks to himself 'It's sure nice to be out of that hell hole, As soon as i find out what the volarians need, I will go after tsubasa' Dr Satan - Wed Sep 24, 2003 5:49 pm Post subject: ooc:No my char is UEN. The people who ordered it is not. Even if they were, you said that we could jump ship anytime. We gave a vague direction of our allaince. I chose UEN because he was born on earth. He's more of a free agent. Vyper - Wed Sep 24, 2003 9:36 pm Post subject: Soon the Zanzabar was en route to the Dampflicht to see Tsubasa. Hiroko: Hailing the Dampflicht. This is Hiroko of the Zanzabar. Damplficht: I read you, Hiroko. We have confirmed you as a guest, please proceed to Open Hangar LR-37. There will be very tight security, please do not be alarmed. They landed and a large group of armed guards accompanied a cloaked man, who greeted them and took them up to Tsubasas chambers. They walk into a nicely finished executive office, with a pianist playing and a butler and chef calmy talking in the corner. Tsubasa sat at a red varnished round table with a hologram projector in the middle. Above the hologram projector was a floating diagram of a huge battlecruiser. Tsubasa noticed Hiroko staring at the projection and said, Tsubasa: Beautiful, isn't it? Hiroko: Er.. Um, yes. Tsubasa: Grandeur is best expressed in its true form.. power. Please come with me. Tsubasa motions for them, and they walk towards the huge windows that made the walls of Tsubasa's chamber. They stared at space for awhile, and looked back at Tsubasa. Tsubasa waved at the window slowly with his palm open, and slightly moved his fingers so much as they'd crack his knuckles. All five did that in a row, and sudddelny a huge battlecruiser materialized in front of their very eyes. Auriana: You honestly didn't start on the Kremlin did you, brother. (not pleased) Tsubasa: It was a great design. Our father was a great engineer and it was his dream to bring his art to live.. and I am completing my father's dream. Hiroko: Hooooolll-llaaaaaaay crap. That thing has more weapons than a weapons factoy. You know, being your brother in-law is bad ass. Six Blytz Hunter Killers soared by less than ten feet away from the window, causing the entire room to vibrate. They landed on a flat part of the ship right infront of Tsubasa's chamber, and a cover slid over and airlocked over the suits, and a door in the chamber opened. Hiroko: We never talked about what we were here for... UEN forces took over our planet. Tsubasa: What?! I knew they were going to pull something like that... Hiroko, this is your squad. You have been appointed to lead this group of elite forces. I'm sure you will be very familiar with them. By then they had jumped out of their suits and were on their approach. Hiroko: Oh my god... Celsius: Dude.. I haven't seen you in like, twenty years. Hiroko was speechless. DeathscytheX - Wed Sep 24, 2003 10:07 pm Post subject: The Nexon exited the jump gate, Rob ran scanners and distance to location. Bishop: Detecting 2 large ships, one is not in operation. one is Laichzeit Battle Crusier Dampflicht. The other is unknown. It will not be long till they detect us. Rob: deactivate cloak Bishop: that would not be wise Rob: Do it now, be ready to activate anti-mag pluse, to disrupt there tractor beams. The Nexon decloaked, and was immediatly hailed Guard: Unidentified craft, state ID, this is an unauthorized area for civilian ships. Rob: let them eat static Guard: Please respond, you will be taken into custody if you do not turn around right now. The Nexon speeds up and swoops down upon the port side of the Dampflict, the tractor beams activate but none can grip on to the ship. To guards units move infront 2 miles ahead, Rob guns it and plows straight through them, the front fo the Nexon impales both suits and rips them to shreads. The ship exits the fiery blast surrounded by a green orb (high power sheilds), and speeds out of the area and recloaks. Rob smerks sadistically Bishop: what was the point of that? Rob: its just the begining... just the begining, full speed, continue on course, im sure they will persue. Vyper - Wed Sep 24, 2003 10:58 pm Post subject: Hiroko and his old friends were trading stories when the loud engines of the Nexon soared right by as well. Tsubasa: Holy crap!! That's ... HIROKO YOU MUST DESTROY THAT CRAFT NOW!!! WE WILL EXPLAIN LATER - THERE IS NO TIME!! Hiroko: ...okay. Hiroko ran back down to the Zanzabar and got in just as Mateo unloaded the Quiksilver. He hurried and got in the cockpit and yelled, 'Shiva! Pilot override!' Shiva: Don't try anything stupid.. there's no limiters on the thruster output. Hiroko ran into a small room that was roughly two times larger than a mobile suit cockpit with a sole seat in the middle and monitors made up the walls. When he activated the cockpit, all the monitors activated creating a panoramic view. Hiroko throttled the deep, throaty engines while staying in place. He pushed them harder and harder until they planed out onto a stead level, and was much more powerful than what Shiva operated it at. Hiroko ripped on the release lever and the Zanzabar tore out like a bat out of hell. Hiroko: Hah, I should really drive this myself more often. Shiva: Watch yourself. Hiroko grabbed onto the two joysticks and as he produced even more speed, the stars turned into a liquid, and then a kintetic plasma as the Zanzabar shuddered as it hit unprecedented speeds for the craft. Soon, the Blytz units caught up, legs neatly tucked away in their torsos and arms folded against the previously concealed wings. They caught up and maintained speed with the Zanzabar, seeming like the only static objects against the liquid backdrop. Hiroko: Let's give these boys a run for their money. Hiroko ran into the engine room and cranked a wheel on a large tank. The engines roared louder and the speed almost doubled, throwing Hiroko onto the floor. He clamored up to the cockpit and the Blytz were still right beside him Hiroko: I underestimated them. Soon a target appeared on his console and read Unknown. Hiroko: I REALLY need to update my ship definitions.. let's go get him! Hiroko floored the acceleration and raced towards the Nexon. --------- Rob was alarmed when the Nexon beeped wildly and screamed, 'Incoming Projectile! Incoming Projectile!' Rob: What?! Rob looked at his rear view monitor and saw the Zanzabar speeding after him. Rob: Wow, it's as fast as a warhead. Where have I seen that ship before. Bishop: Target closing in.. 1400 feet and counting... Rob: What am I supposed to do? Hailing incoming craft. ---------------- Rob: Hailing incoming craft. Hiroko: Hmm.. what am I supposed to do? I'll stay silent. ---------------- Rob: He isn't responding.. best not to take chances. Rob looked around the controls and found a series of switches labelled SM. Rob: Seismic Mines? They know my style. Rob flipped the switch and it dropped a plethora of mines, all coming in contact with the Zanzabar or extremely close, violently throwing Hiroko around and somewhat damaging the Zanzabar. ------------ Hiroko: So he wants to play dirty... guys head back home, I've got him. Celsius: Okay... if you say so.. The Blytz turned back and Hiroko increased his throttle even more and began gaining on the Nexon. ------------ Rob: How to I make this damn thing go faster? ------------- Hiroko began unloading his rapid fire railguns on the Nexon, badly clipping the wing. ------------ Rob: I know I've seen this ship before.. but where? The Zanzabar?! No... it can't be. Suddenly a violent grinding noise sounding like nails on a chalkboard accompanied by a huge virbration. Rob: What the heck? ------------ Hiroko had sped up enough that he had become level with the Nexon, and was grinding the hull of the Zanzabar against that of the Nexon. Suddenly a loud clack was heard. -clackclackCLACK- Hiroko: What was that? Some components on the top of the Zanzabar and on the bottom of the Nexon had grinded and locked together, causing them to be stuck to each other. They approached an asteroid field and began plowing through one minor asteroid after another. DeathscytheX - Wed Sep 24, 2003 11:23 pm Post subject: Rob: stupid bastard, eat this! Rob activates the energy shield, stripping the paint off the top of the zanzabar violently pushing the ships away from each other, they both lose control, but quickly come around at each other. Rob fires the galtin particle cannons, while the zanzabar fires off its plasma turrets. both successfully dodging each others fire. Rob lets go a seismic charge, as as hiroko dodges it, he shoots it with the plasma minigun detonating it, pushing the Zanzabar off course. Rob: i have you now The Nexon fires its high power laser clipping an engine of the zanzabar, smoke poured out. Hiroko: damn! who is this guy? I know this style.. but from where? The zanzabar fired a missle. before Rob could find the lock disruptors hit hit the Nexon's 3rd thruster. He is thrown out of control. Bishop: warning, 40% thruster power lost. Rob: damn you The Nexon began to flee, and Hiroko chased him, not being in any better shape, he tried hard to catch up, but wasnt fast enough to get any closer. Bishop: There is a freindly ship cloaked in this area. Rob: send a distress signal. Soon the UEN Destoryer Revenge decloaks. Capt: Hello, how may we assist you? Rob: I am an volarian ally, I'm in a bit of trouble, im on route to a battleship, and i have someone chasing me. My thrusters are malfunctioning, I require support to rid myself of this persuer. Capt: Roger that. Rob zips by the Revenge as it gets in the zanzabar's way. Capt: prepare for full broadside attack! charge phazon cannons. 30% should be enough for that puny ship.

Yes, that'll work. And stop slacking!! I need to leave as soon as possible!!' The supply trucks had been sitting there, just like Mr. Iris had said, when Monty had pulled up in his earlier model Ford T-1000. It was one of the first Anti-grav vehicles, but still a classic. Unfortunately, the movers were a bunch of lazy workers that refused to listen to his directions. ' Yes thank you very much,' He says as they pull away after loading the rest of the equipment into his ship, ' You stupid lazy buncha of d***heads.' Monty walks into the main cargo bay, looking over his new supplies. ' Taurus. Open inventory list.' Taurus: Open 'Add 40 more scatter type missles, 20 more plasma converters, 5 core springs, and a Mongoose Grav-Bike. And a ummmmmm. Taurus, run identify program on this object.' Taurus: My information indicates that that is a Anti-Personnel Cannon. Beware when handling it. ' Okay. Send those files to my quarters.' Taurus: Confirmed. ' And when your done with that plot a course for Lockade Minor. Inform me when we reach the area.' Taurus: Confirmed Strider Hiryu - Thu Sep 25, 2003 7:28 am Post subject: The Shadow Stalker was now in space and a long ways away from the Volarian Capital planet. They had arrived at there destination awhile ago and were just finishing loading the Ryvius with all of its equipment when a message came in. Volarian Captain: I need to speak to Denethor Darkweaver immediately. This is a matter of upmost importance. Spike: And may I ask who is calling. Volarian Captain: Just tell him I need to talk to him. Spike: Right. Denethor someone is on the line and wants to talk to you. Denethor (over intercom): Right. Patch it through to the MS deck. Spike: Roger. Denethor walked up to the nearest computer panel and brought up the com line. A screen popped up in front of Denethor seconds later with the Volarian Captain's face. Denethor: Alright what is it? Volarian Captain: Yes well we need your help. We are currently waiting for the arrival of a ship carrying someone very important on board. The ship was to arrive a little while ago and we fear that something may have happened. We were tracing its movements and found that it entered the Osirus II gate and exited somewhere here. *a map pops up on the screen where the Nexon was last spotted* We lost it shortly after it exited. We fear that it may have come under attack by Tsubasa and his fleet but are not sure. Our sensors show that there is currently a battle of some sorts taking place with between two ships, one of which is of UEN design. I would like you to go and help the UEN ship out and see if you can spot the other ship. We are currently waiting at a predetermined destination where we were supposed to recieve the ship. I am sending those coordinates now. *another screen popped up with the coordinates* Will you please help us? Denethor sat there for a minute taking everything in. Who could be so important to the Volarians to spark Tsubasa's interest. Denethor thought a little longer and then answered. Denethor: Fine I will help. I am sending my ship to where you are. They should arrive shortly. I myself will take out my suit and head for the last known position of this ship of yours. Volarian Captain: We are in your debt Denethor. Please come back from this safe. The screen closes and Denethor turns to notice Aiden standing behind him. He looks and notices worry on his son's face. Denethor: Do not worry Aiden. I will be fine. Remember I am a Veteran of the IE conflict. Aiden: I know but you have a vow to a dead friend not to pilot anymore. You should send me out and keep your vow. Denethor: I'm sure Rob would not hold this against me. This is to save the life of someone the Volarians need. I will be back shortly. You are in control of everything until I get back. Denethor headed for the Ryvius and opened its cockpit. He crawled in the cockpit and turned it on and checked all equipment. Seconds later he is greeted by the Ryvius's AI. Ryv: Hello. Checking brain wave patterns..........Denethor Darkweaver approved to pilot suit. Your orders sir. Denethor: Prepare for TDW jump. We are jumping to these coordinates. *types in coordinates* Jump when ready. Ryv: As you wish sir. Preparing to jump in 5......4.....3.....2......1.... The Ryvius suddenly disappears from the MS Deck onboard the Shadow Stalker. All of the engineers and scientists on the deck are amazed at what they had just witnessed. Aiden stood there having witnessed the jump before. He then turned and went to tell Spike what they were gonna do now. Shortly after the Ryvius had jumped they arrived at the Nexon's last known coordinates. Ryv: We have arrived at the coordinates you specified. I am picking up the signs of a battle coming from over there. I have identified one of the ships to be UEN in design. What are your orders? Denethor: Please run a systems check on all PT weaponry. I will take us into the battle. Also activate ECS. Ryv: Check. ECS is now active. Running systems check. The Ryvius is hailed shortly before it cloaked. UEN Capt: Unidentified suit. Identify yourself. Denethor: Do not worry. I am an ally. I was sent here by the Volarians. I am an old friend. What is the situation? UEN Capt: We are currently protecting a ship that is on course for a Volarian destroyer. Denethor: Right. I will arrive by you guys shortly. Please keep me updated on the ships progress. The Ryvius was now cloaked and headed for the UEN ship. He was still waiting to find out the status of the PT weapons so he did not attack as he passed the enemy ship. He instead headed straight for the UEN ship and waited. Vyper - Thu Sep 25, 2003 4:54 pm Post subject: Hiroko: Oh, you wuss. Hiroko cut off the power to his weekened engines and blasted towards the Revenge, trying to bypass the range of the lasers by flying extremely close. Tsubasa: YOU IDIOT GET BACK HERE!! Hiroko: Fine, fine. Hiroko sent his regards to the Revenge in the form of a nuclear stealth mine being lobbed into an open hangar and shot back to the Dampflicht. ---------------------- Mateo: Mom, where are we? Auriana: We're on my brothers warship. Mateo: Oh.. COOL!! Mateo runs off into the hangars. DeathscytheX - Thu Sep 25, 2003 9:49 pm Post subject: Bishop: we have now reached the destination. Rob: hmmm? there is nothing here. Rob looks around, he gets up and looks around the various windows as the Nexon comes to a full stop. Rob: are you sure this is the right place Bishop? Bishop: I am a computer, I follow the data put into me. Rob: we are gonna have to work on your programing. Suddenly a message appeared on his monitor. 'What was the name of Jim Opsulous' squadron' Rob: I love trivia *sarcasticly, types Dark Fury* The screen processed and then 'accepted' appeared on the monitor, A massive battle cruiser decloaked 100 feet away from the Nexon. Rob: The Dreadnaught Console: Welcome back Mr. Opsulous, dock in hanger 32A7 The Nexon docks, and before Rob could get out, engineers and work crews jump on the haul to start repairs. The platform forms a ramp to the floor, and Rob steps down and looks at the Renovated interior of the Dreadnaught. Its been almost 15 years since he was last inside the cursier. He is greated by General Fei. Fei: Rob, good to have you back Fei barely finishes his sentence before Robs fist smashes in to his face. He falls to the floor and guard point their guns directly at Rob. Fei: Stop! hold your fire. *wiping blood off his lip* Rob extends his hand and helps him back up, firmly gripping it. Rob: that was for taking so damn long to get me out. lets face it, I know you waited until you acutally needed me for some reason. Fei: Rob, I'm sorry. We lost alot of good men to get you out, If we had no reason to get you out of there, we would have lost more lives to save one person for the sake of saving him. Rob: yeah, a crule universe it is. Fei: we need your help, Tsubasa is build.. Rob: Tsubasa... I am in. but under a few conditions Fei: ok wel.. Rob: listen up, 1st im not gonna lead any squads, i work solo. you provide me with a suit, and I work solo with no orders, like the old days. They walk down a hall Fei: *sigh* Rob, times have changed. Rob: look, im not here to solve your problems, or save the universe, I dont think you understand. I didnt fight the IE to save the universe, or the people, I did it to avenge my father and me. The other shit was secondary. Tsubasa locked me up for 5 years, and I am gonna make him pay. I will be glad to help you durring my quest, but remember that I have control over me. and no one else does. Fei: I.. I understand how you feel, we will accomadate you. *clears throat* that is part of the reason we brought you here. We have something for you Rob. I think you might like it. Rob: what, a house welcoming gift? Fei: You will see. *takes out his com link* have you cleared out the block around Hangar 06Z8 as I asked? Officer: Yes sir. Rob and Fei walk to huge blast doors. Fei: do you remember this hangar Rob? Rob: I hardly recognize this place anymore, its been completely overhauled and updated. Fei: Open the doors! The Doors begin to open, as a lone suit appears as the only thing in the hangar along with a bunch of montioring computers. Robs eyes grew huge at the Site before him. Rob: But how.. its the.. Fei: *smerk* do you like it? Rob: It looks a bit different... what did u do to it? Fei: *chuckle* Its a new model, We found the designs for the original, and updated it vastly. Its yours Rob. We knew you were the only one capable of piloting such a technological terror. This project has been kept under strict classification. only 10 scientists, myself, and now you know about this. It costs almost 1 trillion credits to build it... 947 billion to be exact. Rob walks up to the suit, and puts his hand on the foot and runs it across the metalic surface, he climbs up the latter and gets in the cockpit, It was almost like the original, except built with more luxuries, making it more comfortable. And desipte a few new button, switches, and levers, everything was the same. Under the monitor was a gold plate that said 'In memory of Jim Opsulous'. Rob: Fei.. Fei: Yes? Rob: Thanks... Fei: The NV-MAD6X, It is your suit Rob, You may modify it to how you wish. our science team, calibrated it to maximum performance. you are welcome to look at the data, and fix anything u do not agree with. Rob: I will.. later... I need a shower, and some real food. and some sleep. Fei: I will get someone to show you to your quarters. ============================ Mecha: NV-MAD6X (The X) Weight: 32.01 Tons Height: 142.84ft Decal(s): Black Octagon with a faded red boarder X that is located on each arm, NV-MAD6X located on the side of each foot and bottom of boosters on the back in small red text Combat Abilities: Zero G: Excellent Gravity: Excellent Aqua: Poor Melee: Excellent Mid-Range: Mediocre Long Range: Average Weaponry: 1x Hyper-Matter Staff* 2x Double Edge 2x plasma-slug chain guns 1x phazon disruptor cannon (overkill mode supported, 1 shot only) 2x voltage hands 8x seismic charges (zero g only) 150x Swarmer Missiles 20x Ionic Missiles 1x Radar/Radio/Satellite Jammer (only 3 at a time) 5x cloud vents* (atmospheric conditions only) 1x Hyper Shield* (Invulnerable, but can only stay up for very short periods of time) Bio-activated cockpit (will only operate for the pilot, to prevent theft) (Weapons are interchangeable and may change a little as the story goes on) Appearance: This new variation of the X looks much like the first NV-MAD6, same black color, a little less bulk but still a very thick unit. Decals have been added. Background: The X was created by top Volarian scientists from Intellenux. They built it to previous battle data on the X and Ultra X. The X, as the last, has superior melee capabilities and its long range combat has been improved. Due to its lacking of Vulcan cannons its Mid-Range combat is less than superior. Its heavy weight makes it a poor aquatic unit. Hyper-Matter Staff After discovering the secret of the hypersheild, scientists of Intellenux learned that it was based on a property of hyper matter. This was unknown to Jim or Rob Opsulous. This matter basically temporarly split dimensions causing the invincibility effect of the X’s Shields. Hypershields were removed off large vessels due to the generators massive vulnerability to meltdown. Scientists learned that Hyper-Matter could be used as a weapon, after years of development the hyper-matter staff was invented. It uses a core recycle mode for continuous hyper-matter flow. Unlike the shields it can stay up for as long as it is activated. The staff can slice through anything, and it is the only known weapon that can rival the experimental dark matter weaponry of Crest. Double Edge The Double Edge is a specialized blade made up of an armor piercing alloy. It is probably the most expensive part on the suit because of the rarity of the alloy. This alloy cannot be used as armor due to its non malleable nature. They fold back on pivot joins on the under forearm of the suit, right next to the location of the chain guns. Plasma-Slug Chain Guns A hybrid between a chain gun and plasma cannons, this weapon is extremely effective, rapidly firing plasma slugs at its target, the slugs can cause serious damage, 6 fold of what a normal chain gun can do. These come out of the under forearm of the X, much like the UX, but instead of spawning they run off hydrolics. Phazon Disruptor Cannon The biggest weapon the X has, this new experimental cannon is much like the Phazon cannons on the Revenge, But in a more convenient model. The PDC supports 4 modes of fire. Semi-Auto Short Burst, Automatic, Continuous Blast, and Overkill. Overkill is an extremely powerful burst of ultra-charged phazon particles, the (upside down isosceles) triangular barrel has to split on the 3 sides to release the heat generated by the charge, which will overload the Cannon making it useless after the shot has been fired. Voltage Hands One of the most devastating weapons on the X. The hands have nodes in them that can produce 800,000 volts of electric charge. Gripping anything metallic it can pulse the electric wave through it. This would be devastating to any suit, damaging a lot of its critical electronics. Swarmer Missiles Made Infamous by the X, the swarmer missiles are tiny compact missiles that are fired in bunches, their homing capabilities are very poor, but when hitting dead on the many small warheads create a lot of punishment to anything it hits. These missiles can hit more than one target making them very effective in battle. Ionic Missiles Outdated but still extremely deadly, Ionic missiles lock on to the ion disbursement that any and every suit, ship, and vehicle produces. Impact causes severe damage due to its charge ionic properties. Cloud Vents An ingenious defensive weapon, specialized output vents mounted on different area’s of the X disburse extremely hot gasses that creates a kind of fog or cloud in a wide area. The heat will render any heat or infrared censor useless. Due to the nature of this mechanism it will only work in atmospheric conditions. Hypersheild The dreaded hypersheild, the reddish orb that everyone hates to see. The hypersheild is an invulnerable force field that cannot be breached by anything. Any normal matter that touches the shield gets destroyed. The intense power usage required to run this device cannot be fully harnessed in a small area such as a suit. The shields can only stay up for a very short perior of time before they must be deactivated, otherwise it would cause a system overload. Strider Hiryu - Fri Sep 26, 2003 7:15 am Post subject: OOC: Damn DX nice suit. It reminds me of the X just with a few modifications. Its almost the exact opposit of mine. IC: Denethor sat now dissapointed that the battle was basically over. He had been called and told that the ship had left. Denethor told the UEN ship to go since there was no need for it to stay. In compliance the Revenge left and went on its own seperate way. Ryv: I have confirmed that the Revenge has left and that the ship that it was protecting has also left. We are now on our own. It would seem that the Shadow Stalker is still in route to the coordinates of the Volarian ship that previously hailed us. What is our course of action Denethor? Denethor: Tell the Shadow Stalker that if they wish so they can head to those coordinates or they can head home. Us on the other hand are gonna test out the PT weapons as was planned. I am curious to who was on that ship but I am not gonna persue. The Volarians will tell me in time who was on there. Ryv: As you wish. The message has been sent to the Shadow Stalker. As was requested before the PT weapons check is finished. All PT weapons are running as is expected and are ready to be tested to an extent. The only weapons that do not check out are the Swarmer Funnels. Denethor: Right. Find us a suitable location in this area with either debry or some sort of object that we can use as target practice. Also decloak the suit. Ryv: As you wish. The ECS has been deactivated and I have found a suitable location to test at. A small screen pops up showing the coordinates of a nearby debry field left over from the conflict over 15 years ago. Denethor heads in that direction and stops when he arrives. Denethor: Alright power up the PT Rifles. We are gonna use them. Ryv: Right. PT rifles fully powered and await to be fired. Denethor pulls out the Ryvius PT rifles and aims at the nearest piece of debry. He firest he gun and a bolt of multi-colored energy escapes the gun. It hits the piece of debry and pireces right through it and every piece of debry afterwards. A huge hole is left in the piece of debry. Ryv: Beam output was at 50%. The beam has stopped on a piece of debry about 500 meters away. Denethor: Hmmm it still needs work. I need the beam to stop sooner. Alright that test is a success. Let us head for that coordiates of that ship that asked us for help. Ryv: Right. TDW drive now activating. Jump will take place in 5.....4......3......2......1..... The Ryvius disappears and reappears about 50 meters from the now decloaked Volarian Vessel. He sat there looking at the ship and wondered why the hell it looked so familiar. Denethor: What is the name of the ship in front of us Ryv? Ryv: If I am not mistaken that is the Dreadnaught. Denethor: Hmm so Fei is still around is he. Ohwell. Radio the ship and ask them if the ship they were waiting for has arrived. If it has we shall leave immediately and head home. I am sure Ayame is wondering where the hell I've been and I'm sure she is worried about Aiden. Ryv: As you wish. Sending message now. The Ryvius sat infront of the ship and awaited a reply. As they were waiting Denethor sent the testing information from the test earlier in the day to the Volarian Army. Hoping that he would be able to sell the Thalanus to them. DeathscytheX - Fri Sep 26, 2003 1:34 pm Post subject: Officer: Sir, We are being hailed by the other suit. he wants to know if the ship has arrived. Fei: Tell him yes, dont give him anymore information than that. We cant disclose where Rob is right now. I know Tsubasa is looking for him, and probably has people out to take him out. Officer: Yes Sir. The Officer leaves and Rob walks out if his quaters, dawning his usual wear. Fei: now that is who i remember. Rob: heh.. feels good to be out of that prison uniform. Fei: yes, well we are very excited to see how you do with the new X, We have a sparring hangar we built near the bottom of the ship, the walls have speicalized sheilds, almost as strong as your hypershield, but not quite, and it doenst use quite as much resource to run. You will be tested against 2 of our best aces in there specialized command units. Rob: you dont expect me to go easy on them do you? I mean you guys wont get pissed if i cause some damange. Fei: *chuckle* I dont think u can beat them both at once my friend. its been a while since u piloted, this is pretty much to dust off all that rust. The only advantage you have is they have no knowledge of the X. They proceed to the sparring hanger, Rob gets in the X and heads out to the arena floor, he sees Fei and 2 scientist looking on from the only window at the very top of the hangar. the 2 suits enter the floor. Rob looks around at the console and inspects the many things he has. Fei: you may begin, missiles have been unloaded off all the suits due to the enclosed area. Before Fei could finish his sentence the Aces began to fire at the X with their pulse laser's. They deflected off the X's hypersheilds instantly, as they stood in amazement. Rob trusted in verticle stance straight foward and behind the aces at a blinding rate of speed. He pulled out the Phazon Cannon and pounded the back of one of the suits with semi auto fire. The suit fell to the ground and the other turned around and came at Rob. The X's cloud vents activated and smoke poured out in half the arena. Fei: ugh, its just like him to test out all the new stuff. the X bursted out of the cloud as the other suit got up and started firing vulcan cannons, Rob skimmed the wall as blue web shapped aruoras apeared on the wall as the vulcan cannon ammo hit the wall sheilds. Rob activated the chain guns and began firing the Ace strafed out of the way and almost collided with the other Ace that was just coming out of the now clearing fog. Just coming back into the action the Ace notices the X is right infront of him, The double edge on the left arm unfolds outward and The X decapitates the Suit, then quickly closes the double edge. The last ace was fusterated that they could not get in a hit and pulled out an anti-matter saber and charged at the X. Rob grinned at this and activated the hyper-matter staff and blocked the slashing attack then pushes the suit back a good 10 feet with the brute force of the suit. Ace: argh.. what power Rob slashes at the Ace and they block with the anti-matter saber, Rob reacted quickly and twirled the staff around hacking off the arm. As soon as he did that he could not move, the headless unit was holding him in a full nelson, Rob thought fast and reversed thrusters and smashed the suit into the wall, jarring both pilots violently, he trusted foward and back again repeating the action.The other suit used its other arm and pulled out its pulse cannon, the headless suit lost grip on the 2nd ram, and Rob strafed out of the way as the ace shot their own teammate. As they stood in shock Rob boosted toward the suit and grabbed it with both hands. Rob: Nighty night The voltage hands pulse its eletricity into the suit as it jerked around like a convosling human, Rob dropped it and it fell to the floor with smoke pouring out of the joints and neck. Rob: and these are your best men fei? Operator: *mumble* smart ass Fei:... yes.. yes they are... *in disbelief* The suit that was shocked stood back up slowly, none of its monitors were working, The cockpit open to reveal a young attractive female. Rob: a woman? the X's cockpit opens and he steps up on the door. Rob: hellooo there.. The Woman gets down from her suit and walks out the hanger not even looking at Rob. Rob: ouch... The other guy rolls out of his cockpit and inspect his mualed suit. Ace: This was freakin training.. not war! who the hell do you think you are? Rob: stop your bitchin' I went easy on you. Ace: WHAT!??! OUTRAGEOUS! how dare you mock me! Rob: The object was to beat you, If it was to kill, you would have been dead less than a minute into the exercise. Fei: hes right, *walking out onto the hangar floor*, you are relieved of duty for today, go relax and get some rest, we will get the team to work on your unit. Ace: yes sir! *salutes and walks out* Fei looks up at Rob still standing hanging out the cockpit still looking in the direction of the door. Fei: I appears u didnt have any rust. are you ready to test it out in some real action? Rob: Yeah.. hey.. who was the chick that was in that suit, shes really an ace pilot? Fei: That is Brandi.... My daughter.. Rob: woo, sorry... had no idea. Fei: I dont think she likes you too much, she takes it personal when she loses. Rob: I could kinda tell.. heh.. so where am I going to test this beast out for real? Strider Hiryu - Fri Sep 26, 2003 2:13 pm Post subject: Denethor was radioed back and told that the ship had arrived. He was pleased even though he had no idea who he had saved he radioed back to the ship quickly. Denethor: Right well if you need my help again please don't hesitate to call. Oh yes do say hi to Fei for me. Its been close to 15 years since I last saw him. Ryvius prepare for TDW jump. We're going home. Ryv: As you wish. Coordinates have been entered. Preparing to jump Dani Kilik in 5......4.......3......2......1..... The Ryvius disappears yet again and reappears by the moon of Kilik. He notices that the Shadow Stalker hadn't arrived yet. Denethor: Hmmm where could they be. Ohwell. Ryv systems check on the Swarmer Funnels. I want to know if they can be used yet. Ryv: Right. *a bunch of data runs on the screen terminal infront of Denethor* Swarmer Funnels can be used but they are not completely stable yet. They still run the risk of overloading in combat. Denethor: Hmmm lets try them anyway. Tell the home office to send out the Interceptor Drones. Ryv: Yes sir. *a confirmation notice is recieved quickly after* They are launching drones as we speak. They also say welcome back and that it seems the Volarians are pleased with the data from earlier today. Also it seems Ayame is looking for you. Denethor: Right. Prepare the funnels for combat. About 10 min. later 20 interceptor drones arrive (they are basically pilotless suits). As they arrive they are ambushed by 5 funnels. The drones, being programmed with previous combat data on Denethor, easily evade the funnels. Half of them head for the Ryvius as the other half engage the funnels. Denethor: Hmmm maybe I programmed these things with to much battle skill. The Ryvius pulls out both of its Hyper Beam sabers and prepares for battle. In response to Denethor's focused thoughts the funnels split into 7 each, making a total of 35 funnels. The suits engaged in battle against the funnels are quickly taken out. The others on the other hand had started to fire on the Ryvius. The shots hit the Ryvius's I-fields only to be absorbed. The Ryvius suddenly disappears and 5 of the suits explode as the Ryvius reappears back in the same spot, eyes flaring a deep crimson red. The other five drones pull out there beam sabers and engage in melee combat. 3 are destroyed before they can arrive by the funnels as they returned. The other two engaged Denethor in melee combat. The first of the two was easily dispatched with a quick thrust of one of the beam sabers to to the torso, the second however held its own parrying every slash Denethor tried to hit it with. Denethor: Hmmm. Well now this is interesting. I wonder if this one has been programmed with Aiden's data. The battle continued between the two suits with neither gaining headway. The drone finally pulled a stupid move and tried to do a forward thrust. It was quickly parried by the Ryvius and in return the Ryvius severed the head off. The suit exploded with the Ryvius just sitting there. The funnels returned to there places. Ryv: Combat test finished. All drones taken out in under 5 min. I am now sending combat data back to headquarters. Denethor: Hmm the funnels do need more work. They seem to attack without me telling them to. Ryv: Oh sorry about that. I do have control over them also. It was my fault that those three suits were destroyed. Incoming transmission. Its from the Shadow Stalker. Denethor: Patch it through. A view screen appears infront of Denethor with Spike's face. Spike: Very impressive old friend. It seems that those funnels need some more work though. So what was that little excursion about. Denethor: The Volarians wanted me to protect a ship that was carrying someone important on it. I don't know who it was but it did arrive safely. So what took you so long? Spike: Oh you know. Aiden wanted to see what the Shadow Stalker was capable of so he launched the training drones on board the ship to test it out. Lets just say that SS is not happy with him. Denethor: Doesn't surprise me. Spike: Well we're heading back to base. Would you like to come on board or are you gonna pilot the Ryvius back? Denethor: I will fly there myself. Meet you back there in a few minutes. Ryv you know what to do. Ryv: Roger. Jumping now. The Ryvius disappeared and reappeared in the hanger at DDS. Spike just shook his head and piloted the Shadow Stalker back to the hanger. Spike: He really needs to learn how to actually fly that thing instead of having it jump everywhere. Denethor jumped out of the cockpit of the Ryvius and headed to his office, wanting to listen to the message that was sent in response to the the data he had sent earlier. When he entered his office he was greeted by a very angry Ayame. Ayame: About damn time. Where have you been? Denethor: I thought I told Aiden to tell you. We were out testing the Ryvius again. Ayame: And let me guess you let him pilot it. Denethor: No. Something came up and I had to pilot it myself. Aiden and the others should be back in about 5 minutes though. Ayame looked at him awe struck. She was there the day he made his vow not to pilot a suit again and she was shocked to hear what he just said. Ayame: You mean to tell me you broke your vow to Rob. Denethor: Yes I did. I had to do it. The Volarians wanted help protecting a ship from some people. I did not want to send Aiden out since well the suit was loaded with PT weaponry and it wouldn't have been safe for him. Rob would not hold this against me for it was to help someone in need. Now I need to work. Ayame: Alright. Theres a message on there from the Volarians if you didn't already know and it looks like someone else is interested in doing business with you. I think its the UEN but I'm not sure. Denethor: Thanks. I will talk to you later. Ayame left the office and Denethor sat down at his desk. He was waiting for the scientists down below to send him the data on the Ryvius test. He wanted to review it personally. While he waited he read the message the Volarians had sent back in response. He was gonna wait to read the other one. Vyper - Fri Sep 26, 2003 10:59 pm Post subject: While Hiroko was chasing the Nexon, Tsubasa approached Mateo in the suit bay. Tsubasa: You, Mateo! Mateo: I didn't do anything! Mateo breaks into a full run and dives into a vent. Tsubasa: I know where that goes... -smirks- Tsubasa began walking down into the accomadations corridor. As Mateo continually descended down th´vent, softly to make sure not to make any noise, it got hotter and more humid. It became difficult to breathe. Tsubasa walked down the accomadations corridor even more. He passed the living spaces and went through the cafeteria, and into the bathrooms and showers. Mateo hit a steep decline, and began sliding fast down the vent. He couldn't stop himself. Steam was visibule in the beams of light. The corridor got dark, and Tsubasa observed the green light on the Men's Showers room glowed on the left, and the red on the Women's on the right. Mateo saw a light in the floor of the vent, a grate. His extended his feet and crashed through it. Girly screams exploded from the right side of the corridor. Tsubasa smirked as half a dozen girls bursted out of the showers in just towels, some not completely covered, and began bolted towards their dorms. One said, 'There's a boy in there!' Tsubasa walked in and patted Mateo, still on the floor, on the back. Tsubasa: I knew where you were headed.. because I too, made that little accident once before Mateo: Eh heh.. Tsubasa: Anyways, how would you like to go on your first mission! Mateo: Sure! Tsubasa walked back up to the bay where the Quicksilver was, explaining all the way. Tsubasa: The Silencer has some very nice training facilities, I thought you'd like to show off. Also, you might even get to be in a real battle. Mateo: Really? Cool! I don't know if my mom will approve though.. Tsubasa: Oh, don't worry, we already talked things out. Within the hour, Mateo was en route for The Silencer. Hiroko later returned. Auriana: Mateo's gone. Hiroko: What?! Where is he? Auriana: Why don't you ask my brother. Hiroko storms over to Tsubasa. Hiroko: What have you done with my son!? Tsubasa: We sent him to a training facility. Hiroko: Well, this was never a part of the deal. Tell me where he is because I'm picking him up right now. Tsubasa: I refuse. Hiroko: Oh? And why is that? Tsubasa: Mateo has great potential. You are simply restricting him from his potential and I will not allow you to do that. Hiroko: I know how those training facilities work.. they practically brainwash those kids and isolate them from life, and make them bloodthirsty monsters. We will not support you at all if you don't tell us where our son is. Tsubasa: Very well.. if you don't fight for us, you'll never see your son again. Hiroko exploded with rage and smashed his fist into Tsubasa's face, breaking his nose and blood exploded from it everywhere and he hit the ground hard. Instantly some twenty crew members pointed their automatic weapons at Hiroko ready. Tsubasa smirked pathetically and disturbed, Tsubasa: I wouldn't be so testy, Hiroko. I don't care who you're married to or who you saved, if you try pulling that crap on me again, I'll have you shot dead on the spot. Do you hear me!?!? Hiroko spat a centimeter in front of Tsubasa's feet. DeathscytheX - Sat Sep 27, 2003 12:38 am Post subject: Rob steps into the breifing area by himself, Fei presses a few buttons on teh holomontior and exits the room. Fei: I hope you enjoy the show. The lights go out and the holomonitor projects a perfect 3D render of the Laichzeit Destoryer Silencer. A computer automated voice starts bereifing the mission in the counter strike training voice. Breifing: Good evening Operative, This is The Silencer, A Lasichzeit Destoryer. This ship serves for more than just battle, It is also a small traning ground for many of the top Laichzeit pilots. It is the largest of their destoryers and hold valuable information one many things Tsubasa has planned for his military. Primary Objective: Infiltrate the Silencer and extract data from the main computers from the networking area located on level 21 block M. The information you will obtain will include training programs, unit data, weapons info, fleet locations, battle data, testing data, captain logs, ship logs, and fleet routines. Secondary Objective: Avoid all confronations at all cost, Do not be seen, beware of servalence hardware, and any human to human contact. Return alive. This ends the mission breifing. Good Luck Operative. The lights come back on as Rob pretty much erases the secondary objective from his head. He walks to the hangar as the X is being loaded onto the Nexon. Rob puts on his black bomber jacket and censor glasses (sunglasses like device that can change view modes such as thermal, or night vision) and starts up the ramp to the Nexon. Fei: Rob wait! Rob stops and turns around as Fei jumps up the ramp Fei: here, just incase, I dont trust you with that secondary objective. Rob smerks as he take's a customized phazon blaster pistol from Fei and walks in the Nexon as the ramp encloses into the ship. The hangar door opens and the Nexon lifts and zips out of the Dreadnaught on course to the Silencer. Bishop: Please, let us try to be a bit more gentle next time. Rob: Thats not my nature bishop, might as well get use to it. Last time was an accident, I was piloting an unfamilar ship. Bishop: and now you are again? Rob: yup, thats why im driving the whole way. *deactivates auto pilot* Bishop: coffee? Rob: uuhh.. no thanks I'll pass this time. Bishop: ah taking advice. (reffering to the no coffee while flying) Rob: No, avoiding crappy coffee. Dr Satan - Sun Sep 28, 2003 3:41 am Post subject: ic: 'Bong Bong' Taurus: Master Monty. We have arrived within twenty million miles of Lockade Minor and have entered a holding position. What are your order's? ' Hold. I'll take over when I come up.' Monty had been going over the Anti-Personell Cannon files since he left. There was just something not right about it. It holds 8 seperate rods. Each rod holds 20 small explosive devices. There is no way to shoot it. No trigger. The only real way would be to throw it. After a short walk to the bridge, Monty assumes controls and enters Lockade Minors orbit. *****Static******'Mayday, May*******Static******** unications Tower down********Static*******Opsulous gone. Presumed *******Static********.' 'Taurus. What was that?' Taurus: That was a transmission from the surface. It was on auto-loop. My scans have indicated that the Hellivus Maximum Security Prison has been severly damaged, where it seemed to have originated from. ' Could you clean it up more, then play it again?' Taurus: Running.............................................................Done. 89% clarity. Play now? 'Yes.' ' Mayday, Mayday. Our Communications tower is down.*********Static**********ob Opsulous gone. Presumed dead.' ' Taurus, is there anyway to send a message?' Taurus: No. All atempts at communication have failed. Warning. Patrol ship has picked us up on radar. Hail them? ' Yes.' Taurus: Hailing. ' This is the Dellaware. What is your business on Lockade Minor? ' I am Fel Oware. I am here to visit my brother, Hel Oware. Is there any way I can go down to the prison?' ' Unfortunately, No. The prison has been severly damaged and the inmates need to be corraled.' ' Oh. And what's this about someone named Opsulous gone? That wouldn't be Rob Opsulous, would it?' 'Yes. He killed several guards, then plunged of the side of a cliff and simply dissapeared. Our attempts at finding him have proved futile. Be warned about any suspicious looking crafts around this area. If you do-------. Will you excuse me? There is another call.' ' Yes certainly.' Well this will be alot harder. Opsulous hid from I.E. for years before they actually caught him. What makes some rent-a-cops so certain that they will find him. ' We have new information. He attacked two suits with a small craft and entered the Osiris II gate. We have no other information than that. We may try ------------What!!!!! Fire port side lasers now!!!! Engineering. Transfer more power to the shields. Attention Crew. We have suffered severe damage. All personell to the escape pods. Repeat. All**********Static**********' A small explosion can be heard from outside the Taurus. Four suits can be seen descending into the atmosphere as bright balls of flame. 'Taurus. Can you confirm that the Dellaware is still there?' Taurus: Sensors indicate that the Dellaware is no longer in the area. Three pods have been located near the last known coordinates of the Dellaware. Debris around that area have the Dellaware's signature. ' What can you tell me of those suits?' Taurus: No specific origin can be found. Appear to be of Polarian design. That is all. A fireball the size of a small moon is visible on the surface as the suits detonate nuclear devices around the prison. ---------------------------------------------------------- ' Okay Mr. Iris. He's dead, along with anything else in that f****** prison. Now how do we pick up our pay?' ' I would like to thank you gentleman on a job well done. Unfortunately, it is not. Mr. Opsulous is still alive.' ' What!!!! You gotta be f****** kidding me!! Those were the last nukes we had!!! And we used them on a bunch of f****** d***heads that were in there for life.' Gunshots can be heard at the bounty hunters obvious rage. ' Ok. Listen Mr. Iris. Do you have any idea of where Mr. Rob could have gone?' ' Unfortunately, we cannot find his exact location at this exact moment. He was last seen at the Osiris II jumpgate. You might try looking there. As for your nukes, As soon as Rob Opsulous is dead then you can use the money to buy all new playthings.' ' Damn right I will.' The suits blast off into the stratosphere as the camera falls onto the ground, looking at a small charred and broken remote that seemed to have been shot. -------------------------------------------------------------- A few hours later, the Taurus stops near the Osiris II Gate as two obviously beaten suits are being transported through the gate. ' Civilian ship. Stop where you are. This is a military operation and any interference will result in the destruction of your vessel. You have to remove yourself from these premises until we are done. Do you comprehend?' ' Yes. Yes I Do. Can you tell me who or what did this?' ' We are not allowed to slip any information through at this time.' ' I am from Hellivus prison on Lockade Minor. We had a small jailbreak earlier today and we believe that one of the escapees came this way. Could you tell me if a vessel entered this gate in the past 36 hours?' ' Yes. The same vessel that did this mess. Blasted through these two then jumped. Don't know where it's headed though.' ' How long do you think this will take?' ' Garbage ships are sweeping the area now for any debris. Then we will transport the suits along with the trash. You may wait until we have finished or you can find another gate.' ' How far away is the nearest gate?' ' The nearest gate is the Jullium Gate fifty light years from your current position.' ' Uhhhh. I think i'll wait.' ' Very good. Thank you for your cooperation.' ------------------------------------------------------------ 'Ok boys listen. We're gonna jump at Osiris II. Then pick up on his trail. Mr. Iris said that a ship would be waiting for us to restock.' McKracken was furious. They had to travel through two sectors just to get here and he's not even there. His boys were certainly mad at him by now. Jubs wouldn't care. His artificial brain couldn't configure emotions. Gertud was his closest advisor. Good drinking buddy too. Yon was the only problem. He had been picked up two months ago and was a good pilot. He just didn't think that Jack was a good leader. That was no problem. If the time came, I would have to put a bullet in him. No consequences at doing it. They were all wanted criminals. Might as well go out in a blaze of glory. ' If any of ya'll need a fixer, then we'll stop at that ship. Otherwise, we'll speed on through.' ' What if someone in that prison radioed out before they died? What if all of the galaxy is going to come at us because of something you did!!!!' 'Yon. Shut up. Noone wants to hear your bulls***. Whatever Jack says, goes.' ' Yea. Well. My gun can beat up your gun.' ' What!?!? What's that you say!?!? I can't hear you!!!! My d****'s too far in your mouth you stupid motherf******!' ' Chill all of you!!! We only need to kill Opsulous, then we can head our different ways.' This was gonna be a long ride. -------------------------------------------------------------- 'Taurus. Do you have those Initiaters ready yet?' Taurus: 90% Done................................98% Done........................100% Done ' Okay bring up those plans on Panel 94.' Monty Figured that there must be a way for those rods for the Anti-Personell Cannon to work. He was trying to find a way to release the explosive devices with the press of a button. Taurus made up plans for it and Monty was doing the necessary preparations in the Python. Taurus: Warning. Four suits with identical signatures encountered earlier have been sighted. Attempting to ram the blockade. A small explosion makes the Taurus shake. Gunfire can be heard in the faroff space. Taurus: Two of the suits have broken off from the attack and are heading this way. ' Taurus, start up the turrets. I'll have the Python provide cover.' Taurus: Turrets prepped. Locking on. Firing. ---------------------------------------------------------------- 'Jubs. You and Yon find out what that ship over there is doing. Maybe it's the ship we're trying to find. Gertud. You and I will clear these ships, then jump. Ya'll get that? Good, go.' ---------------------------------------------------------------- The bay doors on the Taurus open up as the Python falls out the back. Several boosters right the giant mech as it faces the incoming hostiles. Taurus starts firing the turrets, trying not to overheat the guns. The suits dodge the fire and start firing on the Taurus. Taurus: Shields at 75%. Attempting to compensate. Advising removal of hostiles. 'Advice well taken Taurus.' A small port opens in the wrist of the Python as a black whip resinating a purplish glow comes shooting out. The arm shoots back bringing the now 75 foot long whip back and accelerating towards the suits. A low underhand swing followed by a flick of the wrist shoots the whip at the suit on the right. At a blinding speed it shoots forth and the purplish glow gleems brighter followed by a low resinating boom resulting in the arm of that mech being blown of by a ionic boom, what Monty likes to nickname as a Venom Snap. He retracts the whip back and then whips it forward into that mechs head, successfully disabling it. He brings the whip back in with little movement and accelerates towards the last mech. --------------------------------------------------------------- 'Jack. My mech has been disabled. Yon is on his own. He is good.' 'Jubs don't try to fix your mech just eject and find a safe spot. We'll find you afterwards. 'Roger.' 'Yon. Do you think you can take him?' 'No problem. It's a long range mech. No short range capabilities. It's slow as hell and it's strength probably matches. I think I can take him.' 'Ok. Good Luck.' 'Luck??? Luck!!!! I don't need luck. I'm Yon the Unstoppable!!!!!' 'Don't get cocky.' 'Speaking of cocky, I ----------- McKracken cut him off thank god. ------------------------------------------------------------------- 'Taurus. Target the mech with warheads but don't fire till I say so.' Taurus: Locked on. Awaiting confirmation. Monty accelerates towards the last mech and brings up his hands. The mech takes out his beam rifle and fires at the Python. Monty brings up his right arm and deflects the shots with his Titanium Shield. The other mech holsters his rifle and takes out his beam saber; accelerating towards the Python. The Python fires its boosters as much as it can without overheating. The other mech makes it first and tackles the Python. It's beam saber is knocked from it's hands by the Titanium Shield. The smaller mech's speed is obviously superior to the bigger, slower mech. But it's strength is lower when it tries to rip the Pythons head off. The slick plates halter it's attempts; while the Pythons head design kept it from having a good grip. The Python grabs the mechs legs and yanks it off his head. The boosters on one side fire up as the Python swings the other suit in a large circle. It lets go and watches as the mech flies away from the gate. 'Taurus. Fire!!!!!' A barrage of warheads hit the mech in a bright flash of light and explosions. ---------------------------------------------------------------- 'Yon!!! Yon!!!!!!!!!! Come in!!!!!! S**t. Gertud go get Jubs we're going through.' McKracken turns and shoves his beam saber into one of the smaller ships. He watches the stronger mech turn and come his way. He pulls his beam rifle and fires a couple shots. After they were deflected, he grabs his Beam Cannon. It is a large beam rifle that is able to fire a wider stronger shot at a higher pace. The cannon aims towards its intended mark and begins its countdown until activation. 5......4......3.........2..........1 ------------------------------------------------------------------ Taurus: Warning. Dangerous weaponry being used. Take defensive manuevers. 'Don't worry. I can take it.' ----------------------------------------------------------------- The Beam Cannon is surrounded by a greenish glow. It's following blast can be felt by ships millions of miles away. Paint is torn from nearby ships and smaller debris is crushed into small bits of metal. The beam fires towards the Python. It engulfs it entirely. A low screaming whistle is heard as the gun overheats and shuts down. The brightness is too much for the observers, so they had turned their heads. When they turned to look again, a dark orb is in front of the strange suit. -------------------------------------------------------------- Taurus: That was a very foolish move. 'Awwwww. But we've never tried it before.' Taurus: No matter what the cause using the Anti-Gravity Enducers as a shield is by no means a sure thing. Your energy output has been downed by 25%. 'Thats all? Wow, I must be doing something right!' Taurus: The suit that fired on you is closing in. Shall I fire on him? 'No, No. I can take him.' ------------------------------------------------------------------- 'Gertud. Take Jubs through the gate. If I don't come through in 15 minutes, go back to my ma. Tell her goodbye.' ' Yea Jack. I got ya. Good Luck.' 'Thanks.' ------------------------------------------------------------------- Taurus: Sir, the cleanup crew has gone through the gate and have shut it down. 'What! Awww crap. Okay, that means they're not going anywhere either.' Taurus: Second suit attempting to flank you. ' I know, I see it. Just try and see if you can keep the second one busy.' Taurus: Confirmed. Monty sees the first suit coming towards him, his beam saber in his hand. He slowly lifts his right hand, with the Anti-Gravity barrels still visible. A small whirring sound is heard as he starts the enducers. Taking careful aim Monty lets loose several shots with his Venom Strike. Four holes appear in the torso and smokes billows out. Seconds later the mechs boosters stop working, malfunctioning from a gigantic hole in them. A few more shots later and the suit blows into a few thousand pieces. The other suit that had been trying to flank him hadn't opened a shot on him yet. Monty turns the Python around and sees the mech with it's back turned to him. He pops up the missile pods and fires two swarmers at him. The deafening explosion can be heard at the Jullium gate. ' Taurus, open the hangar. I'm coming in.' Taurus: Open. 'Taurus. Plot a course for the Jullium gate and inform me when we reach it. I'll be working on the ATC.' Taurus: Confirmed ooc: There DX. No more hyper tech. Its now grav tech.

Vyper - Sun Sep 28, 2003 2:53 pm Post subject: The small ship glided into The Silencer, and rotated itself with positioning boosters, dropped its landing gear legs, and plopped down on the hangar floor. A heavy blast door slammed shut and the hangar pressurized. The transports doors slid open, and the two officer escorts walked out into the sparsely populated bays and Mateo followed him. They walked past a security checkpoint, but they weren't scanned. Mateo: Aren't you going to scan me? Security Guard 1: Um... if you really want to... Security Guard 2:-whispers- He must be new here. They walked along a platform with synthetic plastic windows tilted at an incline, and below virtual reality simulators could be seen. Mateo: Wow.. those are some expensive simulators. As they walked down to the other end Mateo noticed the somewhat older officer had some very serious and disgusting burn scars all over the right half of his body. They headed down some stairs when they reached the end of the platform, the entry point to the training facility. There was a heavy door with a huge sign that read 'No Sound Strictly Permitted Beyond This Point' There was a security confirmation here, a large camera pointing down. The scarred officer looked up into it and said, 'Commander C. Vyndisil.' the door slid open after a moment and the room was almost completely soundproofed - the floor was made out of a substance that didn't make noise regardless of what he did, and there was an intricate pattern protruding from the walls. This was the first time he'd heard true silence. It seems like the air was sucked out from his head. Commander Vyndisil motioned to an empty pod, and whispered, 'Show us what you can do.' Mateo slid into the tilted tube, which was heavilly cushioned. It was extremely comfortable, he would not want to leave when the session was over. A helmet with several nodes descended and Mateo fastened it to his head. Suddenly gas sprayed in the tube and he was fast asleep. Mateo found himself in a dream. He was in a cockpit. Commander Vindysil appeared before him once again, and said, 'Show me what you can do.' It was completeley black outside on the monitors. All he could see were the suits limbs. Suddenly a plain white floor rendered before him. A plain blue sky with no detail appeared above him. Vindysil appeared again. Vindysil: Whatever you say in the cockpit we can hear. Mateo: So this is a dream? Vindysil: Yes, it is a dream being controlled externally. We are going to render a very challenging suit to test you on, if you lose you will simply wake up. Don't fear. It became apparent he was in the QuickSilver. Suddenly a very polygonal model appeared in front of him. It gained more detail, and became blatantly clear that it was the Ultra X.

OOC: must have overlooked it, hypermatter is stictly my technology in this RPG i pretty much put that in the detailed data sheet. just change it to something else plz. IC: 2 guards walk a support bridge across an engine room as they talk to each other. Guard 1: Man thoes young guys are pretty weird, they come in everyday and leave like... i dunno... its just weird. Guard 2: I heard they go through intense traning, some of them dont make it, and alot of them become scared for life. Guard 1: I cant wait to get rotated out of here, They just freak me out, did u see that new guy? Guard 2: Yeah, poor kid, he will probably end up like the rest of them, Hey did you hear about that jail break on lockade? Guard 1: Yeah they said some big time prisoner got out, but they havent found him, they think he might be dead. Suddenly Rob drops down from hanging on a pipe. the clank of his boots hitting the metallic bridge alarmed the guards, Rob decks one of them in the face as they turn, he spin kicks the gun out of the 2nd ones hand sending it over the bridge, the Guard swings at Rob. he grabs the guard arm and breaks it by hyperextending the elbow, then pops him in the face, he falls down and Rob trys to stomp his head but he rolls quickly to the right. The other guard gets up, Rob pulls his blaster and shoots him in the chest. From the ground, the remaining guard kicks the gun from Rob's hand and trips him. He gets up and comes at Rob, thinking quickly Rob thrusts his foot into the Guard's genitals and Grabs his head as he bends over, pushing his foot into his stomach, the Guard is slung over the safety rail and sent 160 feet to his death. Rob gets up and picks up his blaster, he rips the secruity card of the dead body and walks down the bridge. He sticks the card in the door and it opens. Rob enters the Room and looks at the computers, he takes out a small device that serves as a com. Rob: Bishop, Im patching you through, download all of the package. Bishop: Isn't the mission to send it to the Dreadnaught? Rob: yeah but this isnt the room I was suppose to go too, they will figure out soon enough someone is using the computers that isnt authorized at this time. Bishop: a compromise? Rob: Just do it. Bishop: I take it you want to keep a copy file? Rob: *smerk* now you're talkin. Bishop: Downloading. The data is downloaded into the Nexon computers which is cloaked Under a lower hangar a block away from the engine room. Rob Takes some coffee from the pot in the room and opens the door to leave. Rob: Some REAL polarian coffee.. finally... the survalence in this place sucks ass.. no one would ever guess such important info would be hidden in this ship. Rob sips his coffee and walks to the other end of the bridge and out the other door. Vyper - Sun Sep 28, 2003 10:31 pm Post subject: The Ultra X fired its UPC. It would hit in 3...2... Mateo clenched his eyes. 1... Mateo woke up. Mateo: Huh? Mateo stretched and got out. He looked around. Others got out of their pods. They all began slowly moving slowly towards Mateo. Mateo looked to the left of him. There was a dead body on the floor. Hiroko ran out of the door and up the stairs, and across a bridge. He bolted through the door and ran into Rob, and almost spilled his coffee.

It seemed they were very impressed with the Thalanus's test data and were now in a discussion as to whether they should buy it or not. He was also pleased to find that the testing data from the Ryvius showed now problems with the PT weapons onboard. He was just about ready to open the other message when Aiden walked in. Before the door shut Denethor could here what sounded like Ayame yelling at Spike. Denethor smirked and then turned to Aiden. Denethor: So whats up? Aiden: Nothing except for the fact that I am in major trouble with mom. Why is she so mad? Denethor: Well for one thing you didn't tell her where we were going and secondly shes not to keen on you piloting a suit. I'm sure I'll be yelled at a lot worse then you were when we go home tonight. Aiden: Whoops. I knew I forgot to tell her something. So whats the news on the Ryvius? Denethor: It seems we are in the green to fully incorporate the PT weapons onto it. Oh yes. What is the status on Spike's suit? Aiden: Well from what I last heard it is done. They just need Spike to go pick it up. Anyways whats up with the new suit in the hanger? I can't tell what it is but why is it there? Denethor: Oh so you noticed my little side project. Lets just say thats a gift for you. When its finished I will show it to you. Right now its only 90% complete. We had to rebuild it you know. Aiden: Rebuild it. What do you mean? Denethor: You'll see. So why is your mother yelling at Spike? Aiden: Beats me. I think shes just mad that he didn't tell you not to bring me. Denethor: I see. Oh yes your instructor is looking for you. He wants you to go seem him later when you get the chance. He says hes got some new moves for you to try out in the simulator. I have uploaded the specs for the cockpit of your new suit in there to get you ready for combat. Aiden: Thanks dad. Well I'm off. Will you be coming down to supervise the simulation? Denethor: Hopefully I will but it all depends on how badly your mother will yell at me when I'm done here. Aiden: Alright. See you later then. Aiden turned around and walked toward the door. As he opened it Spike ran in. Aiden shook his head and exited, closing the door behind him. Spike looked up at Denethor with a look of confusion. Spike: Why in the hell is your wife yelling at me? I didn't do anything. Denethor: Sorry. She gets upset when I let Aiden pilot the Ryvius and well you were there so I suppose she thought you had something to do with it. Spike: Well remind me the next time you want to do something like this to tell you off. Anyways I hear you got another letter from a potential employee. So who is it? Denethor: I don't know yet. I haven't opened the message. Ayame thinks its from the UEN though but we'll see. Denethor then looked back at the view screen and told the computer to open the message. The computer did so displaying the info. Spike: Why would they want you to make suits for them? Denethor: I do not know. They should know better then to ask since I already refused to once before. Spike: Hmmm. I'm beginning to wonder if we're heading for another major conflict like 15 years ago. It seems like almost all of the sectors are preparing for something big. Denethor: Yes I too have been wondering about that. Denethor just sat there and stared at the screen trying to figure out what they would want with suits made by him. DeathscytheX - Mon Sep 29, 2003 2:33 pm Post subject: IC: Rob: you son of a bitch! you almost made me spill my perfectly good cup of coffee! Mateo: uhh.. sorry in a hurry Mateo continues to run in the direction he was going, Rob smirks and continues on his way. Rob: what a moron. Mateo stops when he realizes he just passed up someone that was not suppose to be on the ship, he had no uniform, and was coming from the direction where the guard fell. Rob enters the hangar. The support bridge was very long to the other end where the elevator was. The bridge was a lot wider than most because the loaders needed to run down them. The place was empty, the Hangar was still under renovation and the work crew were all asleep, along with half the ship's personnel. Rob walked a third of the way down the bridge when Mateo made it to the room. Mateo: STOP YOU! Rob stops and turns his head without turning around to face Mateo. Rob: go to bed kid, I don’t have any time, you don’t want to get your self killed. Mateo: Who are you? Why are you hear? You killed that guard didn’t you?! Rob continues to walk, then stops when he hears the fast paced foot steps of Mateo running at him, Rob turns around and pulls out his blaster and points it at mateo's head, Mateo stops dead in his tracks. Rob: I said turn around, and go away. Mateo: No *balls up fists* Rob: Are you not afraid to die? Mateo: Your blaster is out of ammo. Rob: How very observant *reholsters it* Mateo: I think you should come with me, peacefully, and you wont get hurt. Rob: Stupid fool.. the only place I am going is out. Rob begins to turn around and walk, Mateo runs and jumps on the safety rail, and with outstanding balance he flips over Rob and lands in front of him. Mateo: you will have to go through me then. Mateo gets into a fighting stance and glances over at the quicksilver from the corner of his eye. Rob stood there looking at him like he was crazy. Next thing Mateo knew he had scolding hot coffee splashing in his face. He covered his face in pain and felt Robs hard fist slam into his gut. Rob pushes him to the floor as Mateo tries to catch his breath. Rob: Stupid Kid Rob continues to walk towards the elevator, and once again he hears the foot steps of running, he turns around and grabs Mateos arm and yanks him into a close line. Mateo lands on the back of his head, he curls up in a ball holding his head, and Rob kicks him in the stomach. Rob grabs him by the face and pulls him to his feet, then kicks him in the chest. Mateo stumbles backwards trying to regain his balance, but falls and almost rolls over the edge under the safety rail. Rob continues to walk as he gets about half way, he hears loud noises as the bridge begins to vibrate. He turns around and Mateo is no longer in sight, All of the sudden The quicksilver begins to move. Pulse rifle fire starts coming at Rob as he rolls to dodge it. Rob: SHIT! Bishop, bring me the X, vertical thrust! Rob starts to run as the suit fires and starts gaining on Rob. Mateo: hahahaa I'll get you now, you bastard Rob stops, turns around and gives an evil-like grin as he jumps over the rail in what is suppose to be a 300 foot drop. Mateo is stunned by this action and slows down, It seems only a second or two after the X bursted up through the support bridge as it snaps in half and starts to collapse. Mateo's eyes got big as he was temporarily struck with fear by the evil looking suit. all black with its eyes glowing bright red. Mateo: what.... what the hell is that!! Mateo came back to his sense as he realized the X's right arm chaingun was pointed at the quicksilver's head, he strafes immediately as it began firing. He drifted to the bottom and caught a glimpse of the Nexon. But reversed thrusted backwards to avoid more chaingun fire. Mateo started firing his pulse rifle but the X easily avoided all his shots and before he knew it, Rob was up in his face. He reversed more at full throttle, as Rob stayed in his face, mateo became frustrated as he tried to strafe left and right in reverse but couldn’t gain any distance. Mateo: how can a suit that heavy be so fast!!! grr!! Mateo lost focus and Rob pounded the Qucksilver through the hangar wall into another hangar full of standard mech units. Mateo recovers from sliding on his back, As the X was just standing, towering over him. (really it stopped because of booster overheat) Rob: damn he is fast.. i had to do 200% output to barely keep up! Mateo pressed his distress button but it wasn’t working Rob: don’t even try kid, I got u jammed up. Mateo: damn you! the X fires its phazon cannon at the Quicksilver, Mateo easily dodges all the fire, The slower recoil of the Cannon couldn’t match his speed, But little did Mateo know, Rob had a secondary purpose of using the weapon, He turned around and saw 10 helpless suits with obliterated cockpits. Rob boosts up to get closer for firing, and Mateo brings his thrusters to full stop and free falls, Rob passes the location he was at, and Mateo full thrusts back up and pelts the back of the X with his plus rifle Computer: Left shoulder 70%, minor torso damage, thrusters 85% output available. Rob: Damn.. I have seen that move somewhere before, its like he almost knows what im gonna do. Mateo: I know this style... where have I encountered it before? Rob fires off an Ion Missile at the Quicksilver, personnel started to pour into the hangar, Mateo backs up against the wall and strafes so fast the missile couldn’t adjust and slams into the wall breaching the haul. The people are sucked out of the room from the decompression, and the quicksilver is pushed down from the blast wave. Rob comes down with the hyperstaff, Mateo thrusts up as the X's staff goes through the floor. Mateo pulls out his Dark-Matter sabers and slashes at Rob, They are both blocked by the Staff. Mateo: but... but how!!! (not aware of hyper-matter technology) Mateo wildly swings at Rob as he blocks all of the assault and damages a hilt of one of the sabers causing it to explode in the quicksilvers hand, crippling it. Rob thrusts foward and swings the staff at mateo as he reverse just as fast. Mateo: dammit! how can his melee capabilities rival mine!!! who the hell is this guy! even my father has trouble against me in melee sparring!! The quicksilver full throttle’s backwards, The X couldn’t keep up with only 85% boost output, Mateo unloaded a 10 self-aware missile salvo, that all appeared to hit the X, the explosion knocks more suits off their platforms falling to the floor, Mateo smirks in satisfaction, but it is quickly whipped off his face, as the smoke clears and the Hypershield surrounds the X and deactivates. The X grabs a crippled unit by the arm with both hands and slings it at the speechless Mateo, In shock from the sheer power of the X's Power-drolics, (the NV-MAD6 was built for sheer power for those not in the 1st one) couldnt move before the Suit collided with the quicksilver followed by a barrage of swarmer missiles. Bridges and debris collapse over the fallen suits. Thinking it was over, Rob slowly heads back to the Nexon. Mateo looks at his computer, fortunately the crippled suit shielded the quicksilver from most of the barrage. the right leg was at 65%, boost output was 92% and visual was reduced slightly. He pushes the debris off of his suit and sees the X heading back to the 1st hangar where they met. Mateo: No you don't! I'll never let you go!!!!!!!!!! The quicksilver charges for the X. Rob quickly checks the atmospheric conditions. Mateo charges into a haze from the X's cloud vents. Mateo: HA, like thats gonna work! Mateo turns on the thermal visuals to see s screen full of orange. Sparks fly in the cockpit console as OVERLOAD appears on the monitor, he turns thermal off, but before he knew it 2 double edge's impaled the quicksilver's shoulders. The X lifts the light suit up with ease as the quicksilver's arm units short out from the shoulder damage. Mateo sees his stat monitor light up as both arm's where highlighted red and said 0% function. too panicked to think of boosting, He tried kicking his way out but the legs were just out of reach. The X's Hypershield goes up, severely damaging the head unit, and violently throws the quicksilver into the wall as it collapses like a puppet with no strings. All of the monitors were out except for his right view. Rob slams the right arm double edge
