The Escapist Avatar Adventure: An Open RP (Now Re-Opened!)

[bluecrimson]

AIM: X_X

Now, before hearing that scream from Rugal, Devon was glad that this had all played out the way it did. Since he was on a boat, he broke out in song to celebrate the mood.


However, the song was abruptly finished by Rugal's shout.

"Oh shit. Guys, we may want to get out of here right now..." The man's face paled, mainly because he had a fairly good idea of what Rugal may do to them. Heck, if it hadn't been for Bruiser's thing, their retrieval of Furiae would have gone off nearly flawlessly.

 

[Diablo1099_v1legacy]

Otherside of the Island

Past the screams of Rugal, the other Villains were making their escape.

[color=004d00]"....Hey....Where is Bruiser?..."[/color] Doom asked as his comrades set up a AIM Brand Hyperbaric Lifeboat, hoping it worked better in real life then it did in the Safety Tests.
"Look, Victor, Face it. He's down there, after getting his ass handed to him for what is hopefully the last time, Right as the entire Lab is about to blow up. Given his track record, I don't think he'll be returning to us any time in the near future, nor the distant if we are lucky." Wesker explained as Cortex was the first to get in.
[color=b4b4]"Look, We already done this before, He thinks he's so big, he bites off more then he can chew and its up to us to drag his ass out of the fire again and again. This time? It's over, I'm not risking my life so that moron can throw away his."[/color] He added as he struggled to put on a Life Jacket, clearly not one for the Sea.

[color=004d00]"...Well, we can't just leave hi-"[/color]
[color=6c1504]"And who says we can't!? You? As acting CEO of what is left of this godforsaken dump, I say let him rot!"[/color] Bison shouted, getting cheers of agreement from Wesker and Cortex as they made their way on board.
[color=6c1504]"He was an embarrassment to us all and his "Personal Tastes" were out of line for our codes of conduct. Now, get in the damn boat before UNIT shows up and locks us all up!"[/color]
Doom shook his head in disbelief.
[color=004d00]"'Codes of Conduct'? We have those?....A collection of some of worse this planet have to offer and he's 'Too bad enough a dude'?!"[/color]
"Look, Victor, I'm detecting a lack of 'Getting in the boat' in this conversation. What's your point? He's an asshole, even for assholes standards."
[color=b4b4]"I sure as shit ain't going to miss that lowlife and don't even get me started on the swirlies..."[/color]
[color=6c1504]"Out-voted, 3 to 1. So unless you want to spend the next 50 years in a UNIT Prison, Get. In. The. Boat."[/color] Bison added, pointing to the Lifeboat, keeping a mind full of the ticking clock hanging over the lot of them.

[color=004d00]".....And you're any better?....And you are some shining beacons of Super Villainy? huh? Christ, He's not an Asshole! HE'S SMALL TIME!"[/color] Doom shouted, much to his groups confusion.
"....Ar-are seriously talking about his di-"
[color=004d00]"Doom has killed more people during his life then Bruiser ever did. This armor? Killed an Ex Girlfriend and made this armor from what was left of her!"[/color] He boasted, Cortex was going to protest that what he was saying was impossible, but he decided against it, not really wanting to know the details.
[color=004d00]"What have you done? You, Matrix Gimp! (Wesker) You invented Commercial Zombies!. Any asshole can just walk into his local and have enough T-Virus to wipe out a small city! Suddenly Bruiser doesn't seem so bad now, huh?[/color]

[color=004d00]And Cortex, what about all those mutants!? Huh?! You think him smacking around a few women is bad and yet here you are fucking pulling out their brains though their eye-sockets![/color]

[color=004d00]And You! Dictator! You keep forgetting Doom worked for you too and Doom don't know about you, but thinks he knows why you had had dozens of half naked female clones as your bodyguards..."[/color]
[color=6c1504]"I-...Well-..errr....I had goo-"[/color] Bison Stammered.
[color=004d00]"Shut the fuck up, Doom's not gone. Now, we can all agree that we are Compete and utter Monsters?..."[/color]

A awkward silence filled the protesting Cartel Members as Doom put them in their place.
[color=004d00]"Now then, Wesker, When you were on the sauce and passed out on the men's room floor every night, Who made sure you woke up in your room instead of getting kicked out by the Janitor?"[/color]
"....Bruiser." Wesker sighed.
[color=004d00]"And Cortex, Remember when you needed a Live Test Subject for those Performance Enhancers? And then after dozens of them you came clean to your products having MILLIONS of side effects? And yet he STILL kept turning up?"[/color]
[color=b4b4]"...Yeah...Still have no idea how he is still alive."[/color] Cortex Confessed.
[color=004d00]"And, Bison remember when he won Mr. Universe and got a nice place in Hawaii with all the beach babes he could ask for? And yet he DEFECTED to your Empire when you asked him. You know how much that must have meant to him and he didn't even fucking know you!"[/color]
Bison didn't answer.

[color=004d00]"Well, guess what? You aren't no winners either, but we need to stick together. Everyone of us tried to do Toe to Toe with the world and got our asses handed to us. And I don't know about you but Doom want the Hulk Wanna-be on His side when the time comes to TAKE OVER THE WORLD! WHO'S WITH DOOM?!"[/color]
The other villains looked at he each other and realized Doom had them dead to rights.
[color=004d00]"THEN LETS SAVE THE ASSHOLE!"[/color] Doom finally shouted before running for the lab to save their comrade in Evil.
....
....
"....Shouldn't we...follow him?..."
[color=b4b4]"I..."Sorta"...agree with him....but...Taking orders from Doom?..."[/color]
[color=6c1504]".....If I order the two of you, then would you go?"[/color]
"Eh, be better then putting up with Doom's bitching for the whole trip."
[color=b4b4]"I could live with that."[/color]

Thus the rescue party set out to save the day.
FOR EVIL!

Location: Canteen | Rising Dawn
Time: Lunch!​

Lucieon | David | Matt | Lucretia | Fionn

A spellswordsman had made himself material in the Canteen, and another human had arrived, whilst in the intervening time, David West had placated the young assaulter. Luke felt at odds with the sudden influx of events and characters, being unsure how to interact within large crowds of people, that is, crowds beyond the Rule of Three that Cataclama had long invoked. There were now not three, but five people standing in the room, eating and drinking.

After a short while he made his thoughts known, [color=dark gold]"Mage... wouldst you by happenchance be a disciple of any Holy Church...?"[/color] His fears that his true undead nature could turn off the kindness of these otherwise amiable gentlemen. He still had the fear of being carted away to some forgotten asylum and left to rot and hollow like so many of the others who were inflicted with the Darksign.

He set his Cataclyst down and took a seat at the big table, [color=dark gold]"And Mr. West, what do we do with the young aggressor? I hardly think that it would be effective to hold her down like that until she awakens. Which at that time might prove extremely unfavorable to the situation. Given your implication that calamity strikes this crew every other day or so,"[/color] he produced some rope and handed it to David, he was never one who could really touch girls... as much as his mother had tried to reinforce that behavior into him during his studies of anatomy.

Luke then resumed the meal he had set aside, a large shank of lamb that dripped with molten fat, heated by the flame of the Abyss. Being alive was a good feeling, but he felt unnerved that the Dragon Disciple had so readily identified him as undead. He would have to question her about that at a later date, when they were alone, and preferably with Lucretia bound in the most humiliating of ways.

Lucieon | David | Matt | Lucretia | Fionn


Fionn was finishing his creation as the question was asked. Just a little more hot sauce..... He wrapped it up and walked over to a nearby couch.

[color=dark gold]"Mage... wouldst you by happenchance be a disciple of any Holy Church...?"[/color]

"Nope, wouldn't associate myself with those groups. Not a fan of dogma myself." Fionn could tell there was something about Lucieon that was off, but he didn't care. Luke hadn't done anything wrong as far as he knew, and he looked friendly enough. Besides, he'd know better. Fionn calmly approached Luke, extending his right hand to him as he set his footlong down. "But where are my manners? Name's Fionn Fandango, Gun Mage, Bounty Hunter and Reaper of Angels. I suppose you just showed up here like I did?" Fionn grinned at him, aiming to put him at ease, there was already enough conflict on the ship without the latest kerfuffle. Luke could see Fionn was being genuine, the man wasn't put off in the slightest by him whatsoever.

Despite his friendly demeanor, there was something off about the Gun Mage. Anyone sensitive to arcane phenomenon could see there was a strange aura around the man. Was it Dark Energy, Negative Energy, Spirit Energy? It wasn't imposing, just there, in the background.

David West: Rising Dawn

David waved off Luke's offer, stating "No way, I know these kinda, you don't let your eyes off them for a second. And I'm making sure that I don't."
After what she nearly did, David wasn't taking any chances, just he felt like he was missing something from he equation.

AIM: ON A BOAT BITCHES!

Festivities were soon under way as the little group began their feasting of the re-purchased goods, a wonderful atmosphere of calm taking over the small boat. For the most part, it was Caim and Furiae playing catchup with the times, explaining who and what each of the persons on the vessel were (and kindly omitting the details of Authorship along the way). Her reaction to finding out that Cadolbolg and Ton Ton were the duo's adopted children, as well as the fact that Angelus was able to become human at all was priceless, and the duo made certain that Teri caught a picture with the Tablet in order to preserve the memory.

"Sounds like you've been very busy, having all these adventures!"

Caim gave a nod to Furiae's observation,

"That I have! Which reminds me..."

His expression took a turn for the serious, and the warrior started with,

"Look, Furiae, I haven't been the best brother to you, and-"

"Caim."

The warrior stopped with a surprised look on his face, realizing that his sister had just interrupted him, but let her continue,

"We've all the time in the world to talk about stuff from back home. But for now, aren't we supposed to be celebrating..? Please? It's nice to see you smile for once..."

Caim stopped his spiel, and conceeded, an honest to goodness smile [http://i.imgur.com/UWkCfgP.jpg] finally taking it's place,

"Very well... Later then."

Angelus couldn't help but laugh heartily at the little scene, and clapped Furiae on the shoulder, "Remind me to have you around if threatens to kill someone again. You've got better control of him than I do!"

A round of laughter overtook the family again, and Teri couldn't help but smile at the spectacle. Raising a bottle of Mountain Dew she poofed in, she said, [color=0E59E4]"Now, as charming as this scene is, I think there's somebody here that deserves some credit for it. Devon, take a bow! All of this right now wouldn't have been possible without you."[/color]

[color=darkblue]"Here here!"[/color]

The Cleric gave a tinkling, genuine laugh at that, and with her drink still raised said, [color=0E59E4]"Well, with my voice back, I'd like to call a-"[/color]

And that was when Rugal's screams kicked in, and our Cleric had the color quickly drain from her face, [color=0E59E4]"Oh shit, it's Dad!"[/color]

"'Dad'? Rugal... A-as your father? Are you mad, girl?!"

Teri took a deep drink of the Dew and turned to Melethia, [color=0E59E4]"It's a long story, Angie! Mel, I gotta confess to something. When we entered AIM, I sent a letter to Mum letting her know we were on an errand with Caim and Angie. While I didn't divulge the details, she's pretty pissed, and I'm afraid she might have just sent Dad after us. If you run now, I won't hold it against you; but I'm going to go see what's up with Dad and see if I can smooth some of this over. You stay here with these guys in case things go wrong. It's bad enough Mom and Dad are mad at me, I don't want to drag you down too."[/color]

The Location formerly known as AIM

Inuart

The last thing the bard remembered before blacking out was Devon stabbing him after a series of rather painful attacks.
The Serum Wesker had gave him had saved his life, his wounds healing themselves, but as he felt his bones stitch back, he felt like he was being dragged someplace, the moments where he could actually see he recalled the halls moving as if he was moving.

Then a wet damp feeling coated his face as he blinked, seeing a blue sky above his head with plumes of smoke in the air.
A black figure with something pink, it was licking him.
His eyes widened when he saw what it was.

A Pitch Blank Panther with a collar that showed his name: Rodem.
It had somehow pulled him out of the exploding lab before he was burned alive.
Before he could process this, Rodem leapt up into the trees above and disappeared from sight.

Rugal

The King of Fighters meanwhile was putting Bruno Ganz to shame as he roared up a storm as the destruction of his Empire.
"WHEN I FIND OUT WHO THE HELL WAS RESPONIBLE FOR THIS, I WILL TEAR THEIR FLESH OFF AND SHOWER IN THEIR PAIN AND SUF-....
.....
Teri, How long have you been standing there?...." He suddenly asked as he detected Teri though the rage as she neared.
"...Wait...You...Did this?....
....."
He was now in a rather conflicted state, happy he was free from the Cartel and it's responsibilities, Enraged at the destruction of everything else in his life outside of his "Family".
".....Why?...." He merely asked as he tried to compose himself.

 

[bluecrimson]

Look at me, I'm on a Motherf**king Boat.

Melethia shook her head. "Sis, to be fair, it was that blue hunk of stupid that caused the place to blow up. We barely killed anyone there, remember? Oh, Miss Furiae, could ya please hand me a bit more of that food? I came with ya, I'll help ya out with this." She gave her sister a hug, letting Teri know that the elf would have her back.

Meanwhile, Devon laughed as he shook his head. "Hey, you guys deserve just as much credit here. I may have come up with the plan, but if it wasn't for everyone here, this wouldn't have happened. Caim, ANgelus, thanks for listening to me at the start and believing what I saw. Cadolbolg, you did quite a bit to help out your dad here. Melethia, if it hadn't been for you, we would have had a lot more problems with all those traps you got us past."

He took another breath as he addressed Ton-Ton and Teri. "Ton-Ton, you've shown me time and again that the best things sometimes come in the smallest packages with how brave and selfless you've been. And Teri, there's a great deal that I have to thank you for, especially ensuring that I could focus on keeping Furiae out of harm's way in that last fight with Bruiser. Everyone, enjoy the meal while it's still warm."

The Pizza guy shrugged as he took a drink of the booze he had on-board. The group could have the celebration, but when he got back to land, he could sell all that gold to help with his student loans! And the others at the store had said he was crazy for doing this delivery... But didn't his boss say he was getting overtime for this delivery as well?

Yup, this was a very good day for him.

 

[bluerocker]

The Location formerly known as AIM

Garm, Melethia, Rugal, Teri

Teri, How long have you been standing there?.......Wait...You...Did this?.....Why?...."

The Cleric shuffled slightly as she was being accused. Even with Melethia and Garm at her side, she felt nervous about confronting Rugal about the recent events at AIM, and began to speak,

[color=0E59E4]"Well, Da- erm, sir, we didn't blow it up ourselves. I killed the man who did that, or in this case, the Pokemon. Bruiser attacked us with a mech, and he fell through a wall, igniting some ammunition and... I better back up a few steps before that'll make sense."[/color]

She took another breath, not being used to actually talking after allowing a machine to do so for so long, and began again, [color=0E59E4]"We were rescuing someone from the confines of that facility. We were doing pretty well to keep the colateral damage low at first, but with what I mentioned... Well, it didn't stay that way for long. Really, sir, we didn't intend for all this,"[/color]

She gestured to the flaming mess that was formerly AIM,

[color=0E59E4]"To happen at all. If it pleases you sir, I'll take the full blame. Please, just don't be mad at them. They've been through so much already, I don't want to give them any more hardships..."[/color]

It seems that the Cleric might be a little TOO good at her duties as the eldest sister. It's one thing to take the blame for stolen cookies, but this is ridiculous!

Inuart

The redhead stumbled down to the edge of the woods, wondering quietly if Caim's party had already made off with Furiae. As he made his way down, he could see a hulking blonde man talking to a pair of familiar looking young girls and their equally familiar looking wolf. Feeling bloodlust rise in his chest, Inuart reached for his blade, before he saw something else glint in the light. It was a boat, along with the said group of interlopers he was thinking about and...

"...Furiae...."

There she was, smiling and eating with the rest of her group, the sunlight accentuating her features and making her look all the more beautiful. And that was when it struck him. She looked happy, genuinely happy at what was going on around her. When had he seen her smile like that in the facilities? When had he brought such joy to her heart?

Simply put, he hadn't. This chord striking him dead in the chest, Inuart felt his grip on his blade loosten, and he quietly sheathed it back in it's place.

He had never made her happy. He, the man who pledged his life and service to her, was not able to do the simple thing love was supposed to. What was the point in fighting for her, when she did not want him as well? What was he to do now?

Well, the first thing that could be done was to wander out of the jungle. Inuart shuffled down the beach, and past the quartet, not even bothering to acknowledge the group talking among each other (as well as the surprised glances from either young woman and the accompanying growl from the wolf) as he continued walking. There was no point in fighting them. There wasn't a point in most of the actions that he had committed. Furiae never loved him, the world never wanted him, and his former pact partner had not needed him. Inuart was the parasite here; constantly siphoning things from those around him.

So what was the point? Was there ever a point? The bard did not know, and continued walking, silently hoping that he could find his former comrades, if only for something to distract him for a little while.

 

[mcpop9]

The sex robots hadn't been able to build the rocket in time for the fiery explosion, so they formed a protective sphere around Mizune as well as her shield. She cut open the sphere of girls around her and coughed from the smoke clearing. Making her way up to the top, she and her entire outfit were covered in soot and other things that left her darkened and dirty.

Looking around the ruins, she heard the bickering of the cartel crew. Approaching them, she coughed a few more times. "HEY! Doom! Wesker! Bison! Dr. Midget!" she called out to them.

 

[Diablo1099_v1legacy]

The Location formerly known as AIM

Garm, Melethia, Rugal, Teri

"....So that's what you really sound like.....It suits you...." Rugal sighed, another disaster he was responsible for.
These pangs of guilt were really starting to annoy him, he never had any issues with his actions up until recently.
"......Did you at least let Rodem survive?...."
Teri tried to think back to who had that name again.
"....Guess not...Fine.....Can I at least get a ride back to the Airship? Just UNIT will be here any moment an-"
A large black creature pounced on him much to Teri's horror and it seemingly began clawing at him.

She and Garm were about to jump into action before they realized it was Rugal's pet panther Rodem, who was now licking his master's face.
"Hey-Down boy, Down. Christ, never misses a cue this one!" He laughed, the rage starting to fade at the sight of his old friend.
After a few minutes of playful petting, He asked "Right...where were we?..."
[color=0E59E4]"....A Ride back to the airship?..."[/color] She asked, hoping he'd calmed down by now.
"....Very well, Though your mother may not be happy to see me...Lead the way..." He said as he followed with Rodem in tow.

Bruiser
Bruiser felt his life slip away for the 2nd time, certain he wasn't getting out of this.
All his strength and power, all the work he put in to develop himself, everyone he swashed to get where he was.
For this?
Last time he died, he died knowing he could return, but after being humiliated like that, defeated by a 19 year old human? He didn't want to.

Smoke and flames were clear as day now, a weak grunt escaped his body as a large slab of near molten metal fell on top of him, causing the earth that the lab was built under to fall, at least he was getting a burial.
.....wonder if Giovanni will be there....mightn't be too bad then... he thought as he went into the light.

The next thing he knew he was on some kind of platform being moved, all while being yelled at by strange humanoid Demons, fire and explosions filling his vision as the blinded him with some strange light.
"xliezyl. pof uai wyol ty? es'z qyznyl, qy'ly ryssefr uai ais ab wyly. mizs wadk af. palsyg, qwos oly wez jesodz deny?

...So this is hell....yay.....wait...wha- He thought as the lot of them entered a purple portal and...sunlight?

"Xliezyl! Xriuzel! Xrueuer, Bruiser! Guys, he's awake, Doom, get that first aid kit from the boat, Bison, need that cloak of yours to lay him down on."
He began to piece together what happened, they actually came back for him this time?
.....I....don't even...
[color=b4b4]"Gah! He's crashing again! DOOM! MOVE YOUR METAL ASS! Come on you ugly bastard, fucked if cancelling all the weekly experiments on you! THEN WHAT WILL I KILL TIME WITH!?"[/color]
[color=6c1504]"So....Will he pull thou-"[/color]
"HE WILL IF YOU ACTUALLY FUCKING HELP!"
It wasn't long before Bruiser passed out again as they went in ER style to try and fix him up.

Inuart/Mizune

Inuart was about to head on by himself when-
[color=004d]"Hey! Guitar Hero Guy!"[/color] Doom shouted from behind him, bringing his attention to the group and their wounded comrade as they too moved though the jungle.
[color=004d]"...Uh, Doom knows a guy in San Montia, just in California...and you look like you could use a lift to the mainland....so, want to come with?..."[/color] He asked as the others stopped expectantly, awaiting his answer.
[color=004d]"....We have our own boat..."[/color]
"....Sure, why not?..." the Bard answered before joining them.

As they went for the Liftboat, another member of their crew joined them.
[color=004d]"TRANSFORMER LADY!"[/color] Doom squeed, recalling their first meeting.
[color=b4b4]"...I'm not a midget..."[/color] Cortex pouted as they all boarded their escape route and set sail in the direction opposite the heroes: Next Stop: Santa Monica!

Lucieon | David | Matt | Lucretia | Fionn

Luke shook Fionn's hand and smiled back [color=dark gold]"Good to meet you Fionn, I am Lucieon di Candor. No surname given, for I have long forgotten it."[/color] When their hands parted, Luke took notice to his aura of energy. It seemed far too much like the Dark that he had just recently escaped to make Luke all that comfortable. But he shrugged it off, another member of the Darkwraiths, or at least, this world's equivalent might prove useful. Luke returned Fionn's sincerity with sincerity of his own. A merchant was a merchant to heart.

Putting the gun-mage aside for the moment, he turned back to David and looked down at the poor girl, [color=dark gold]"Yet, is she not your daughter? I hardly think that anyone could be so contrived as trying to murder you with such ferocity were the fact not true."[/color] He frowned, [color=dark gold]"I don't believe that continuing to sit on her is the proper course of action. At the very least we can prop up her body so that her young frame does not distort."[/color]

 

[Diablo1099_v1legacy]

David West

David looked rather confused when Luke brought up the one detail he missed out on during Lucretia's attempt on his life.
"....Wait....Wha-No....I'm not her father. What the hell gave you that idea?....
.....Why are you all looking at me?..." He asked, clearly missing out on the details that she shouted while trying to stab him in the throat.
"....I think I'm missing out on something...." He sighed confused as he let up on her restrainment and asked "What the hell is going on?..."

 

[bluerocker]

On a boat, but not for long

The Caerleon Family, The d'Tarkanan-Bernstein Family, associated pets and Devon

The ride for the rest of the way to the Rising Dawn could be summarized in two words, Quiet and Awkward. Food supplies were never an issue, nor the means of travel; but the elephant very clearly sitting in the middle of the boat made things extremely uncomfortable for all involved. It came as a silent blessing when the group was finally able to locate the airship in question and board, each going to their individual pursuits with glee as they could stretch their legs in peace, as opposed to being confined in a delivery boat.

Well, the peace lasting as long as those on the ship were willing to allow.

Inuart

The red-haired bard was happy to be able to find something to do in aiding his former comrades in carrying Bruiser onto the boat; the serum provided by Wesker making the task much easier than it would for the normal man. However, even when sitting on the transport, he couldn't help but shake that disconcerting empty feeling in his gut. Even with this place to go to; what would he do then?

 

[Diablo1099_v1legacy]

Rugal, Rodem

Once he was back on the ship, the main priority on Rugal's mind was letting Slindis know in person that he was back.
He heard that she was returning to the airship anyway so he hoped he'd be able to get his 2 cents in.
However, the fact that Bruiser nearly killed Teri again (Despite his efforts to keep him in line) weighted heavy on his mind and the fact that AIM nearly killed Melethia also was a cause for concern.

On the Plus side, Rodem made himself at home right away, sniffing out his masters quarters and finding a snug place to nap while Rugal looked for the Drow.

Jenny

After getting in contact with Teri, Jenny was able to pull some strings in the Striders to help Furiae out, Namely with the Serum Cortex used to keep her demonic side under-control and giving her a safe haven to stay out of the reach of any other groups that might want her power.
The whole thing was sorted before they even reached the Rising Dawn.

"Really. I can't thank you enough for this..."

Caim admitted.
"I assure you, after all you and Angelus have done for me over the years, it's the least I could do." She answered as Furiae was brought aboard the Blue Dragon after good-byes were said.
While she was due to go back, she opted to stay as she wanted to check up on Devon and David.

Storm-178 (and

Alpha

).
Location: Rising Dawn | Random hallway passing the bridge | Oceanic.
Time: 4Pm

After thirty minutes of hot training, the spartan's fists were red from punching metal dummies. Though after this vigorous training session there were no more dummies in the dojo, only scrap and wood scraps. Thanks to that, Storm spend most of his time cleaning the dojo instead, once he left the room he only left it with sparkles. "Uh, it feels like we need a holiday after this." Storm said as he just passed the bridge, but the spartan walked backwards and smiled.

"Hmm, I have a great idea." He said as he quickly went into the bridge for the first time and had his mouth open after looking at all the buttons, and the view. "Alpha, you know what to do, enter the system and I'll look up here for something." He looked at the small holographic AI hovering above his solder, except she was pouting. "

I don't wanna!

" She rebelled loudly.

"Is this because you sense other AI? It'll be good if you made a few friends, you might also find something about getting that bod-" Storm stopped all of a sudden as he noticed that she had already entered the ship's system. A smile appeared on his face, pleased that she decided to do it, though at times he always thought why she had wanted a body.

The thought was quickly thrown out of Storm's head as he saw that button which was covered in dust and a few cobwebs, the spartan was fairly disgusted about the dirt on some areas of the ship. Trying to wipe the dust off the button suddenly slammed down, Storm had not pressed it ... but what had activated it? None the less a few hundred meters ahead lightning began to emerge from nothing and formed a weird blue and purple portal.

Storm thought about if he should drive the ship into it or not. "I'll feel awkwardly guilty if I didn't ask everyone fir-" Storm was talking to himself but suddenly the ship swung towards the portal by itself, slamming the superhuman into a wall, everyone should of been able to feel the change of direction and especially notice the giant portal. "Craaaaaap" The Spartan said to himself and he AI partner quickly appeared before him.

"

[color=navyblue]What happened![/color]

" Alpha quickly said, but Storm was slumped to the ground, pointing to only one thing. The portal.

Spoiler: Portal

"I do not like the look of this."

 

[mcpop9]

"Did i hear santa monica? Any explanation on that?" She asked the group over the engine and crashing waves. She was trying to wipe herself clean with a towel.

The Canteen

The entire canteen seemed to become more saddened as a new figure entered it. He seemed like a guy in his late 20's, lost on the way to an emo band show. He was covered in dark clothing and had makeup on his eyes. "Hi." he said in a depressed tone.

In aperture
Dani was looking on all the cams and couldn't find the depressed one anywhere. "Ummm.... did anyone see where soul went? he's no longer on my cameras..."

Rugal, Slindis, Melethia

It wasn't too long until Rugal found Slindis, and he found that he was accompanied by Melethia.

[color=c20000]"Rugal, I see that you've made your way back here with my daughter in tow, and I can't help but wonder about that timing. Would you like to explain it?"[/color] Rugal didn't feel anger from her, but there was a definite curiosity there.

Melethia hid behind Rugal a bit, because she had a good feeling she was in for it with her mother after what she'd heard from Teri, and a sharp glook form Slindis only confirmed her thoughts.

Jenny, Devon

After getting to the Rising Dawn, Devon approached Jenny with a bit of hesitation. Although she said that he shouldn't feel guilty, it didn't help the fact that she'd been so beaten up from what he had done. "Um... sorry about what happened, Jenny. I really didn't mean to put you through all of that..."

After an awkward silence, he thought about putting a hand on her to comfort her but ultimately decided not to. "If it helps, though, we got him in the attack. I'm pretty sure you know who I'm talking about: The Machoke that attacked east of Viridian City and the one that locked us up..." It was at point that Jenny remembered that although the memories she'd been forced to relive were hers, they'd still happened while she was in Devon's mind. It wasn't a large stretch to see that he'd probably been either a spectator or even lived those memories himself.

Tajuh, Mercy

Before the Rising Dawn was transported, Tajuh sent her over to the ship as she finished the final checks for the transport while the Hagane left. As she left, though, she left a message for Strider Hiryu that went directly to him.

Hiryu, thank you for helping us so much during all of this. I would love to help your people more, but Gilliam's calling me off to another universe. Take care, but I have the feeling I'll be back in this universe eventually.

Tajuh is now Inactive.

Villain Boat

The little Liftboat that could chugged along as Mizune asked her question, getting a spare towel to clean herself off with.
"One of Doom's friends, a "Fighting Game Expert" by the name of Max, has a place we can lay low for a while, just UNIT will be all over the ruins of that place within the hour and they'll be after us." Wesker explained while Cortex checked over Bruiser, still out from his near death experience.
[color=b4b4]"Only thing is though, we might be a while getting there but this boat has more the enough excitement to keep us sane until we reach our destination..."[/color] He said as Doom opened up the food store and pulled out a bag of Doritos.
[color=004d]"Yeah, all I need to do is give him his damn $20 and we got a place to stay."[/color] He said as he began nomming down.
[color=6c1504]"How long will this trip be?"[/color] Bison asked, wondering how long they'd have to put up with each other.
[color=004d]"Anything from a hours to 3 months...."[/color]
.....
"Nah, more like a day to a week, tops." Wesker stepped in before everyone went mad.
In a bid to change the topic, Cortex asked [color=b4b4]"Mizune, what do you know of White Magic? You might be able to help me here."[/color]

 

[mcpop9]

""This will be a long while..." Mizune said. After a while, wesker stepped in. AS for Cortex, she turned to look at him. "White magic? none. i'm no white mage, i'm a witch. i focus on magic that relates to my affinity, i'm affiliated with mice and well, mice aren't known from their white magic. But they do have wiskers." she said and held up her hand, small blades of purple energy forming at her fingertimes, maybe ten centimeters long.
