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

[StormShaun]

Got dealt the wrong hand ... again, Courier Shawn.
Location: The somewhat destroyed Easter Basin Docks.
Time: "FUUUUUUUU~"

Looking at David like he was some kind of caveman, Shawn removed his helmet as he fiddled with his Pip-Boy.
Just a single look at David and he already knew that wasn't his prey, he was more intelligent then the average human ... especially this guy. This guy was the real David face, because there was no way Deadshot could have a second mask/face, but then again Shawn will act cautious around him anyway.

A voice started to play as Shawn held his Pip-Boy into the air.

"Holy shit, someone in this city can actually follow basic instructions! That's a finding a Unicorn.
Also, Props for using a payphone in 2013. And here I had all this fancy ass Cellar tracking shit to follow you with, but now I can just go old school. Cheers...Whoever the fuck you are. Tell me, You like killing people?"

"That was a man named David West, codename Deadshot. He hired me when I first stepped off your ship ... sure I may be a stowaway, but that is complicated. I worked for this guy, I knew he was working on something and ... all of this happened. Basically, all I'm saying is that I'm hunter who is after the impostor, and now that I have met the real David West ..." Shawn paused as he looked around at the mostly destroyed dock.

"We battled here, we fought, I doused the area in fire and radiation and he escaped ... I think, and those police officers escaped with a massive pile of weapons to deliver to all of the gangs in this place." Shawn said as he held up his hands, away from his rifle on his back. He just gave them evidence that he isn't the impostor and the plan that the impostor has. This should give him some credit at the very least.

"All I like to do is kill or justify evil things and people ... but mostly it's kill." He looked at the rest of the group with a smile. "Most never give me a choice."

 

[Sgt_Jakeman214]

David | Jake | ???
"Nope, nobody in the game is that off, maybe the CIA spook, but he is so paranoid and not really a face to face guy." Jake replied.

Then the Lone Wanderer Appeared. And David started shouting. Jake grabbed David's pistol and forced it down, or at least away from the new arrival.

"OI DAVID STAND DOWN! That man is not the imposter, not by a long shot! OI YOU! LONE WANDERER! YOU FROM THE DC WASTELAND OR THE NEVADA WASTELAND? [small]Another videogame character, he's the player controlled guy from Fallout. Post apocalypse, World war 3 against China went thermonuclear.[/small]"

 

[StormShaun]

Glad someone knows him, Courier Shawn.
Location: The somewhat destroyed Easter Basin Docks.

Putting his hands down, Shawn addressed the person directly.
"Born in DC, travelled to Nevada. I do believe I have no met you yet sir, and I find it highly weird and suspicious that you know one of my titles and places of interest. If you carry the symbol of the Bull I don't know what I'd do." The memories of many kills came back to him.

Shawn only hopes that this kid isn't apart of the Bull army, whom he killed many of and it's leaders.
Or the Enclave, that would be even worse.
Actually, if it was any faction he eliminated it would be bad.
That includes Caesar's Legion, The Enclave, DC slavers, Nevada Slavers, aliens, Southern folk from point Lookout, some of the Brotherhood Outcasts, Pittsburgh slavers, super-mutants, the Great Khans, the fiends, Mr. House, the Silver Rush, those prison assholes and many different variations of wasteland monsters and animals.

 

[Diablo1099_v1legacy]

David, Shawn, Jake

David was puzzled at first when the voice played, but when he listened...
"-That's a finding a Unicorn-"
"-now I can just go old school-"
"-Tell me, You like killing people?"
All anger left his system as a completely vacant look washed over his face, he went rigid as a board.
It took Jake pushing his arm down to reanimate him and even then he looked completely lost.
"...Yeah....Alright then...." He mused as he returned the Helicopter and supported himself on the side of it.
"...So what do I call you then? Mr Mad Max? (Shawn)" He jived to cover up his minor mindfuck.

 

[StormShaun]

The man of many names and titles, Shawn.
Location: The somewhat destroyed Easter Basin Docks.

Looking at David once more, he spoke.
"Unfortunately I won't give my full name for now, and I am a man of many names and titles. Just call me the one most know me by, Lone Wanderer. That was the first title bestowed upon me, for navigating and overcoming a horrible world all by myself."

He walked up to the helicopter and sat on the edge of it. Shawn had never seen a helicopter before, he has only seen a VertiBird, basically a more armored helicopter. "Gee this is different." He muttered as he gotten in. "Other then that, we should get going and chase after these vehicles with the weapon shipments. I would hate to see gangsters killing gangsters everywhere! He yelled to everyone.

He looked towards David. "Seeing how you are connected to him the most, let me tell you everything that has happened in my adventure." Shawn smiled and began to tell David everything about Deadshot and his little adventure.

 

[Diablo1099_v1legacy]

David, Shawn, Jake

David sat and listened as Shawn detailed the missions he did for Deadshot, all while having a strangely distant look on his face.
Even for major bombshells like how he used a Los Santos Drug Baron to move his Bio-Bombs, he merely nodded and said things like "Yep...I getcha...Uh-huh..."
Once he was briefed on Deadshot's intentions, He then asked "So he wants to have the Triads and Dang Nang Boyz kill each other off?...Clever. Makes a mess and all the blame goes to the gangs and not him...well, me, but..."Him-Me".
Leaning back towards Jake, he asked "Hey, don't you know one of these guys? Wee Zee Moo? (Wu Zi Mu)...Or something?"

 

[bluecrimson]

Easter Basin Docks (Or what's left of it): Rugal, Melethia

Melethia shrugged as she thought it out, using some of the conversation she overheard from the guy in the weird armor to help give some context. "Hmm, maybe that Deadshot guy was looking to make some cash? Or maybe hand it to some nutual enemies, thin them out, then repeat what happened in Los Santos? Kinda hard to say, really..."

David, Slin, Wanderer, Jake

Slindis thought about it for a moment before responding, taking in all the information while she tried to keep an ear out for Vercetti's decision. [color=c200]"We'll need to possibly find both sides here so we can try something in this. It'll be hard, but if we can convince both gangs there's someone that each wants them dead, we could have something to work with here. Wanderer, are you prepared to get moving?"[/color]

Jenny

Ella grinned and shook her hand. "Go ahead and call me Ella. I'm currently staying with Devon here, but I'll help you out if I can. This talk about Authors sounds a bit odd, considering the ones here should be the only ones." She gave a god deal of respect to Akane as she offered a hand to the Kitsune. She'd heard plenty from her Daddy how they were notoriously powerful, and it wouldn't be a good idea to make even a weakened one mad.

Devon got ready to head out as an IMP poofed in and chatted to Devon in its native language. "Jenny, we might be able to have some more backup here. The Grove Street Boys sent Ignis and his boys off after the help patching up the holes in the streets. Looks like they want to make it clear it was them that defended their hone, and I can't blame them. We just have to be careful with whatever Deadshot's planning."

 

[bluerocker]

Easter Basin Docks (Or what's left of it): Teri, Dimitri, Garm, Jenny, Devon

Teri gave a nod of confirmation to her worried friends, gave another short cough, and then hit a couple buttons on her Tablet before tapping it to her forehead, a motion that would look familiar to the participants of the Angelic Wars. With a faint smile, a mechanized voice shot from the Tablet, [color=0E59E4]

"Well, if my voice is going to be a problem, this will have to be a solution for the moment. I'd hate to be a liability just because I was doing my job."

[/color]

She waved a hand gently to emphasize what she said next, [color=0E59E4]

"You guys should worry more about yourselves. I'll just do the normal squishy mage thing, and stay in the back away from the guns and cast the buffs. Yippee."

[/color]

[color=3897E0]

"Me thinks that sounded a little bitter, Madam."

[/color]

Hacking up another small bit of phlegm to the ground, Teri glared at her Tablet, [color=0E59E4]

"Did I ask your opinion?"

[/color]

[color=3897E0]

"No, but you cannot deny that in my attempts to fulfill my programming of watching for your well being, which you so [u]graciously[/u] ignored with your obviously better judgement, that this predicament is far from ideal, hmn?"

[/color]

The Cleric covered her face with a palm and wondered 'aloud', [color=0E59E4]

"When did you come with a sense of sarcasm..?"

[/color]

[color=3897E0]

"I believe I inherited it from my creator."

[/color]

Teri shook her head again, and turned to Jenny, looking very exasperated at the encounter with her AI, [color=0E59E4]

"So, like I said. I'll just use this and rest my throat. No big deal."

[/color]

Now, if Teri wasn't leaning over Garm as she was, that statement may have been a positive one. In her state now, it just looked like the Cleric was trying to save face.

Angelus, Caim, Rugal

Angelus gave a heavy chuckle at Rugal's command, and said, "If you wish to ask something of me, Rugal, you need only say so. It is not as if Caim speaks for me. In fact, I do recall it being the other way around...."

With that, the dragon stretched her long neck to get a decent look about the place. Caim, on the other hand, shook his head at the prideful dragon's words, and picked about the rubble with his shoe, not entirely sure what they were supposed to be looking for.

Cadolbolg, Akane

With the arrival of the new stranger diverting most of the attention of the group, Cadolbolg fluttered over to Akane and landed on her shoulder, giving a happy little wave, "Hullo! I'm pretty sure we've met before. You're Mother and Father's foxy friend, right?"

David, Wanderer, Ton Ton

As his pact partner investigated Akane, Ton Ton too disembarked from his usual perch of Devon's shoulder, and wandered to the conversation between David and the Lone Wanderer, [color=15650D]"So, if I am to understand this correctly, Mr. Wanderer sir, our friend David West has been impersonated for the purposes of stirring gang warfare?! That's horrible! Is there anything we can do?"[/color]

Now, despite the small creature's appearance, (in fact, The Lone Wanderer hadn't seen anything like a Tonberry before, except for possibly a baby Deathclaw), The Lone Wanderer could hear a small childlike voice from the creature, far belaying the initial impression of a hooded, lantern bearing, knife wielding lizard.

 

[StormShaun]

David, [color=c200]Slin[/color], [color=15650D]Ton Ton[/color], Wanderer (Shawn), Jake
Location: The now not radioactive Easter Basin Docks.

The Wanderer was sitting on the side of the Helicopter. A smile fell onto his face as he heard Slindis speak. "I'm always ready to move, more accurately speaking I'm always on the move." Shawn pressed a button on his Pip-Boy and his weapon changed from Anti-Material Rifle into his Ranger Pistols. "In my own opinion I think we both convince the gangs not to kill each other and also go after the shipments ... but they might already be there. Whatever the plan is, I'm up for it, I have both a specialty for speaking and killing." Shawn said as he began to think about Deadshot's plan in general. "(He must have an overall goal.)" Shawn's face turned cold.

Then the other uniquely looking creature talked to him (Ton Ton). "Yes he is, and all we need to do is stop these shipments and the mastermind, if not .. well we have a bit of a detour with saving those gangster's asses. Now that I think about it, I have no idea who you people are. I mean, I saw a dragon today, then her (Slindis) and now you." He pointed at Angelus, then Slindis and finally Ton Ton. "Well, each day is a new experience, and I have no problem accepting other intelligent lifeforms." Shawn said out loud. He liked meeting new people, especially people who are different to humanity, since each race could have a whole entirely different way of thinking intelligently.

"Man, this gets my scientist side pumped up." Shawn said as he fiddled with his Pip-Boy once more and changed his clothing completely in a second.

"It's good to get out of that armor." He waved some air into his direction.

 

[Sgt_Jakeman214]

David, Slin, Wanderer, Jake, Ton Ton
"I know of Woozie, I don't know him. I agree, we need to play both sides really. Carefully. Otherwise, I vote we just start blasting the city with the Dawn until something happens or the Gangs turn over this bastard. They'll try to save their city before sheltering a demon of sorts it seems. This imposter stood up to a mini nuke launcher, colour me impressed." Jake added in, remaining standing, stretching his legs a bit.

Jenny, Ella, Cadolbolg, Akane
Akane shook hands with the Succubus, her smile blooming into a full one as she spoke, quickly explaining the Author situation. "It... It is not an experience I want to relive and the voice was explicit in that it was an Author above even ours... But this is much more interesting, a succubus working with a man, not sucking him dry? Ella-san, after we catch this imposter, I would love to have a chat... OH! Hello little dragon, I have not seen you in forever! Yes, I am Akane the Kitsune, friend to Angelus and Caim. I think you have grown bigger since last time, little Cadolbolg! Certainly stronger judging by your aura. Somethings change whilst others stay the same. You still use others as a perch but I see you have stopped landing on heads, ha ha ha!"

 

[Diablo1099_v1legacy]

Easter Basin Docks (Or what's left of it): Rugal Notice: For the sake of convenience, I'm going with Shawn having filled everyone in on what happened at the docks

Rugal was surprised by Angelus's sudden response, thinking she was still airborne.
"Oh...Well, just...keep an eye out." He mumbled as Melethia gave her thoughts.
"Maybe...what I'm trying to figure out is how the hell he managed to move all these weapons on a ship this big under everyone's noses..."

Once Shawn brought them up to speed on the two gangs that Deadshot armed, he began to see what was going to happen.
"Oh great...Those 2 gangs have been going at it since the 90s. The Triads are in the "Chinatown" District while last I checked The Dang Nang operate out of one of the large cargo ships in the bay. We either need to talk them down or wipe them out before get a chance to use those weapons." He said to the group as he tried to think of their next course of action.
"Oh, before I forget: Angelus, limit your flight plans if possible. No doubt there will be lots of men itching for Target Practice." He warned the Dragon, recalling how many destroyed Rocket Launchers he found in the rubble.

David

David then added "Jake here said that the Head of the Triad is a man called "Woozie" and said he's more of the "Business" type criminal. We should check him out first and at the very least we can get them on our side to help limit the number of bystanders in the possible cross fire."
Doing a much of pointless pre-flight checks in an attempt to look like he knew what he was doing, he then asked "Unless we should split up? 2 groups, one for each gang?"

Jenny

Jenny nodded as she bowed her head in thought.
"Maybe they could look for that Van that Shawn said left during his fight? He said that it had more weapons in it and we need to get as many of them out of the city as possible before someone starts a riot with them." She said, seeming a tad bit concerned about this talk of Woozie.
Oh no...Please don't let it be "Our" Woozie... She visibly cringed.

 

[bluecrimson]

Easter Basin Docks (Or what's left of it): Teri, Dimitri, Garm, Jenny, Devon

Devon looked a bit annoyed at Teri's statement. "I was trying to look out for you, Teri. Did I say anything like what you implied? Heck no! All I wanted to do was ensure that you didn't overreach and really hurt yourself, and not in some 'stay back and let the real fighters go on' kind of hogwash. If that means I have to be a bit blunt to avoid something like you losing use of an arm or worse, then that's what I'll do."

Angelus, Caim, Rugal, Melethia

Melethia motioned over to Caim. "Look for something like the casing of a bomb or a piece of metal that has a charring that seems odd. WHeathair could probably help you make it out a bit more,but just trust your gut. After all, I don't know how much usable stuff we'll find.

Redscale, could you let us know if ya see anything off?"

Cadolbolg, Akane, Ella

Ella let oout a small laugh as she watched the scene with Akane. "I'll let you keep that to yourself, then, but my stuff with Devon's a bit complicated... We both owe each other a lot, let's just keep it at that. Only thing you need to watch out for with our little trickster here is the hair. I don't know so much about yours now, but he just loves to nest in my hair. Have I mentioned how wonderful it is to have someone that can fix that up with a little spell?"

David, Wanderer, Ton Ton, Slin, Jake

Slindis bemusedly shook her head as she introduced herself to the Wanderer. [color=c200]"THe way you act, it would be easy to think that you've only seen humans! It's no large matter, though. Just call me Slindis, and I'd rather run interference between the two groups. Jake's plan, although I can see why it would appeal to some, can easily backfire in horrible ways."[/color]

A small pause , then the Drow's attention focused on the Austrailian. [color=c200]"After all, what happens if they don't stop in time? What happens if we gave thpose that would use the image of the Rising Dawn razing a city to the ground real reasons to hate us? The potential for civlians to be get needlessly caught up in this is far too great for me to sign off on, and there has to be a better option. Khyber, I'll make one myself if I have to!"[/color]

 

[Sgt_Jakeman214]

Cadolbolg, Akane, Ella
Akane laughed. "Well, that is very interesting. Good luck to you both then, hah hah hah! Cadolbolg is welcome to hang around me anytime! It is his calling card, is that the phrase? And he hasn't yet tried to tweak my ears so I think he is fine wherever he lands."

David, Wanderer, Ton Ton, Slin, Jake
Jake merely shrugged at Slindis' words. He stood awkwardly tense as he met her points. "I'm an Author. My ideas never really used to have to worry about collateral damage. We could simply perform a reset. Yes, using the Dawn is the worst possible thing we could do. It would work, but at horrible cost. Then again, and I'll be the first to admit this, I lost my sanity a long time ago. Still got most of my morals, but loyalty to my friends comes first. If I have to damn a city to Hell and destroy it to find this imposter bastard... Then I fuckin' will. He took down a fuckin' Dragon and a Kitsune, Slindis. He's turned a city of millions into zombies. He's just given the gangs of this city enough weaponry to start and win a medium sized war.

I'm no hero, but I have my honour and morals still. As it's the right thing to do, I'll help you stop a gang war. Lead the way, I'm not meant to be a leader, ain't got the brains or charisma for it. What I have got is plenty of meta knowledge on this world."

 

[Diablo1099_v1legacy]

Easter Basin Docks (Or what's left of it): Rugal

Keen to avoid a confrontation between the Drow and the Author, Rugal stepped in and said "Enough, Lets just get over to the Triad Leader, Talk him down and/or kill him, Alright?"
Turning back to Caim and Co. he said "We're going to Chinatown. Hold down the fort here and watch out for any possible leads."
He then sat in the Helicopter and motioned for them to take off.
"And I promise you two, he isn't getting away with this and We WILL stop him, Okay?" He said to Jake and Slindis

David

"...So....We're letting the Insane Guy fly the Helicopter?...Freaking A..." David Whined, starting to question just how good Jake was behind the wheel of an aircraft.
"Right, Chinatown Ho..." He sighed as he attempted to take off...
....
"...I was wondering which was one of these was the AC..."

*TRANSITION!*

A Short Helicopter ride later, they were in Chinatown, greeted with the exotic smells of Asia and the locals clamoring over their landing.
Several Dozen men in black suits watched them land, keeping an eye out for any possible violence...
"...Why do I feel like I'm in one of those bad Steven Segal Movies?..." He quipped as he got out, wondering if his police uniform would make things harder or easier.

Jenny

Jenny was noticeably worried as they landed, though it wasn't the fact that they were going to talk with a possibly murderous gang of heavily armed Triads.
"...Um...I-....I'll stay here and....um...Guard the Helicopter...If that's okay?..." She stammered, hoping that she wouldn't need to follow them in.

 

[Sgt_Jakeman214]

"...So....We're letting the Insane Guy fly the Helicopter?...Freaking A..." David Whined, starting to question just how good Jake was behind the wheel of an aircraft.
"Right, Chinatown Ho..." He sighed as he attempted to take off...
....
"...I was wondering which was one of these was the AC..."
"Stupidity and honesty are two of my core values. And what part of 'don't touch anything' did you miss in my pre-flight briefing? I don't tell you how to shoot, so let me fly. It's one of the FEW things on this Earth I am good at, also including pissing off women I'm trying to score with and putting my foot down my throat." Jake said dryly, going through the chopper's pre-flight checks, again.

*TRANSITION!*

A Short Helicopter ride later, they were in Chinatown, greeted with the exotic smells of Asia and the locals clamoring over their landing.
Several Dozen men in black suits watched them land, keeping an eye out for any possible violence...
"...Why do I feel like I'm in one of those bad Steven Segal Movies?..." He quipped as he got out, wondering if his police uniform would make things harder or not.

"...Um...I-....I'll stay here and....um...Guard the Helicopter...If that's okay?..." She stammered, hoping that she wouldn't need to follow them in.

Jake got out of the chopper and stood around as well, his rifle slung across his back but his hand on his sword. "It's all cool Jenny, I'll stick around and guard me chopper too, the help is very much appreciated. If I go in, I will say the wrong thing for sure. For sure..."

Patting down his pockets, Jake pulled out his lighter and flask, smiling at the fact he was only missing cigarettes. He took a swig before putting both away. A smoke would do his nerves good but it was probably a good thing to be on edge right now. "So Jenny, how've ya been whilst I've been gone? You holding up alright?"

 

[Diablo1099_v1legacy]

Jenny

Letting out a sigh of relief that she wasn't about to get another rant from Hiryu, Jenny then answered Jake. "Well, After the Blue Dragon, things got..."Weird" for a while. First, we ended up getting thrown into another realm, Think of those old Western Movies, but with Dragons and Magic. After that, it happened again when we were dragged into some kind of "High School" universe. Grrr, Hated that one..." She said, getting a little angry when she recalled the high school and getting "Re-verted" into a Kirlia.
"Still...I've been okay, Just...Kinda miss home...And Blade. God, Feels like forever since I last saw him. Just between his work for Hiryu and the whole "Inter-dimensional ping-pong" And now this..." She moped, clearly missing him.

 

[bluecrimson]

Edited to help you get back in.

Easter Basin Docks (Or what's left of it): Rugal, SLin, Jake

Slindls kept it rather brief as she ushered Teri and Garm on the chopper. [color=c200]"Very well, then. We'll go from the landing point and handle this problem however we can."[/color]

*TRANSITION!*

Upon landing, Slindis whispered to Jake. [color=c200]"Since you do have some knowledge of the area, could you tell me the relevant intel? It woould help a lot."[/color]

Ella

Ella grinned as Devon went off the Helicoptor. "Well, it's probably better if I help you two. I mean, if they somehow get close, there could be some problems. After all, Akane doesn't look the best either." With that, she stretched in case she'd have to fight off these suits with the three onboard here.

Mel

Melethia raised an eyebrow as she heard David's statement and whispered to him. "Keeneye, what's a movie? Some kind of new trap?"

Oh, Mel. WHen will you learn that not everything's about traps and violence?

Devon

As he finished telling Ella to help out Jake with the ship, he eyed up the suits. "Okay, one of these people has to be a bit higher than the others... So, which one are they all looking to for their direction?" Although it may have been somewhat discreet, Devon's scannong of the Triads there could have easily have made some of them uncomfortable.

 

[Diablo1099_v1legacy]

Chinatown: Rugal

Rugal glared back at the Suits that were watching them, somewhat nervously as he did.
Anyone of them could be packing a Pistol that could take down a whole building/shoot lighting/act as a flamethrower or all of the above!
"Well...Least they haven't shot us on sight...Thank god for small miracles..." He said as he got out and walked out, his eyes never leaving their mark as he did.

David

David merely looked over his shoulder slowly as Melethia asked what seemed like the dumbest question ever.
"...No...It's not a new trap. It's a...umm....Imagine...a Video....uhhh...[sub]How to say this to a kid?[/sub]...It's basically a long Video that tells a story, Like a Book that reads itself to you..." He explained, recalling the time he had to explain to Elena what a Movie was.
Oyyyy...I need to make new friends... He thought before saying "Tell you what. Because this asshole is making your life hell because he wants to get to me, I'm paying for a massive trip to the movies once this is all over."
[color=c0000]"...David, what's a Movie?"[/color] Slindis then asked, causing David to Twitch slightly.
"...You know what, just look it up." He sighed, starting to wonder if he was the only film-goer in the group.

 

[bluecrimson]

Chinatown: Rugal, Slin

After that puzzling statement from David, Slindis Went back to eyeing up the group. [color=c200]"True, but they could be waiting for instructions from their leader. So, which person would that be?"[/color] Having had a bit more experience at picking out the head in this kind of situation, Slindis thought she'd have an easier time at this.

David, Mel

Mel still looked rather confused at David's statement. "If they want to see a story, why not make one themselves? Seems like it'd be a lot easier if ya ask me. But what do you know, it could give me sme new ideas, so why not?"

 

[Sgt_Jakeman214]

Jenny | Jake
Jake smiled sadly. "Sounds like a holiday is in store after this arc. You've earned it from what I hear. Thank the Gods I missed out on High School land, those were the worst years of my life. Magic and Dragons in the Wild West would've been cool though. Meh, can't have it all, I'm just glad to be back. Being forgotten inbetween life and death really fuckin' sucks."
Upon landing, Slindis whispered to Jake. [color=c200]"Since you do have some knowledge of the area, could you tell me the relevant intel? It woould help a lot."[/color]
"Best I can give ya, is that Wu Zi Mu is blind, incredibly lucky, likes to drive in car races, gamble and play video games. He's a businessman. Also has a sense of humor if my memory serves. Offer him a deal he can't refuse, like taking down the other gang. Give him something, like the city. Good Luck and Good Hunting, Slin. Countin' on ya, mate."

Ella grinned as Devon went off the Helicoptor. "Well, it's probably better if I help you two. I mean, if they somehow get close, there could be some problems. After all, Akane doesn't look the best either." With that, she stretched in case she'd have to fight off these suits with the three onboard here.
"Oh ouch, do you think my weapons are here for show?" Jake laughed, pretending to be hurt.
"And I am merely weakened, not lame. But the thought is what counts, so thank you again." Akane added from her seat in the chopper.
