Xela quickly raced after Xavier, after becoming a little tired she shifted into a bird and caught up with the other 'dragon dropped to the ground chaning into her normal self. She was quite tired for shifting took much of her energy but she refused to show her tiredness to anyone else.
<span style='color:red'>It's not MY fault some people here are out of shape...</span> Xavier said.. sitting on his haunches on a thick tree branch. <span style='color:red'>Meh, We're almost there... There's a criminal organization I know that has a base here... They'll help me out... They owe me a favour...</span> He winked at them, although it was probably impossible for them to see him do it in the darkness... He stretched and started swinging through the trees again, heading south east...
<span style='color:gray'>She emerged within the shadows and shifted and traveled with the shadows. "Not everyone of us are out of shape." She smirked as she appeared beside him slightly, before emerging back within the shadows. "Lets hope we are almost there. I hate running for my life. I've done that too much of my life." She snorted and traveled with the shadows following him.</span>
"I'm not out of shape." said Jahhar shaking his head. "I'm not used to following a dragon so quickly. Besides, I can speed up if I need to." Jahhar thought of his leg augmentations. He always powered them up as a last resort, but nearly tripled his strength when they were on. He also had arm augmentations. Jahhar started following Xavier again when he started moving again.
Xavier suddenly screeched to a halt, and waited for the others to catch up, hanging from a branch with one hand. He flipped down his night vision goggles and checked out the small rock face jutting from the ground in the middle of a clearing. He noted that the entrance was even more disguised than last time, and they had strengthened the hidden door with some different type of alloy...
Xela didn't bother saying that she was in shape and merely raced after Xavier and nearly bumping into him when he stopped. She looked up at him and said quickly <font color= "darkblue"> What's wrong? </font>
Jahhar halted as Xavier did. He said not a word in case Xavier had spotted an ambush. Jahhar carefully scanned over the jungle. Something seemed out of place, prehaps something was there that was artificial.
<span style='color:red'>We're here... And it seems they've redecorated...</span> Xavier said, and pointed with his free hand to the massive rock that was the entrance. He dropped from the tree branch and slowly started walking towards it, cautious now that something about it had changed...
Xela became silent and crept staying a little ways behind him just in case they needed to run for it. She didn't dare breath for the sensation that she felt in the air dared her to speak. she wondered why whoever it was had changed their hide out, maybe because of an intruder.
<span style='width:100%;font-weight:bold; font-size:10px'>Out of Character</span> <table class=ooc><tr><td>Computer tower crashed yesterday ._. forgive me if I'm not on. My only computer access is the school's ._. We are hoping to get it fixed this week, taking it to the shop today grrrr</td></tr></table> <span style='color:gray'>She tilted her head slightly and looked around as she stopped beside Jahhar. She pinned her ears and narrowed her gaze. "What happen here?" She asked slightly as she examized the place for a few moments.</span>
Xavier suddenly dropped his scaredy cat act and marched up to the rock, planting his hand firmly into the small indent that resembled a hand on the side of a small cave in the middle on the rock. A woman's voice started to speak. "Hello Mr. Galdon, may I inquire why you are visiting the base at this time? Is it because of those military units?" Xavier narrowed his eyes, but replied without additude. <span style='color:red'>Yes it is, and nice to see you again Vera, but can we come in? The military might be here any moment! And I'm sure Revol won't want them inquiring about his base here...</span> The voice waited for awhile, clearly thinking about the ill effects of not letting them in. "Very well, welcome back Mr. Galdon..." The voice replied after a few moments, and with a hiss, a large slab of the back wall slid open. Xavier walked down the staircase behind the slab, and was lost to sight around a corner...
<span style='color:gray'>She tilted her head and quickly followed. She snorted and rolled her eyes as she came along side of Jahhar. "Another adventure I suppose eh Jahhar?" She looked to him slightly.</span>
<span style='color:red'>Hurry Up!</span> Xavier called from somewhere below. <span style='color:red'>You don't want the Military to find you do you?!</span> The slab started to shake and slowly began covering the entrance, inch by inch, levered into place by some unseen machine.
Xela followed Xavier and looked into the base wondering what it looked like in there. She looked back at the other two silently urging them to hurry.
Jahhar turned to Rogue and smiled. "heh, yeah, I suppose I hadn't planned it, but we are going onto another adventure. I never plan any of my adventures though..." Jahhar kept up with Xavier noticing the door closing behind him.
<span style='color:gray'>She rolled her eyes. "Yea." She quickly bolted through the doors and quickly twisted around and turned her gaze to the others. "You are a very testy beast." She snorted and watched them silently.</span>
Xavier walked into a large room resembling a hotel lobby. <span style='color:red'>Here we are! One of the many bases of "The Lost". I hope Revol doesn't kill me for coming here uninvited...</span> "He probably will Mr. Galdon, especially for bringing the Military here." A shimmering hologram appeared of a young woman in her twenties. "Welcome guests of Mr. Galdon, to the Vivuli Jungle headquarters of "The Lost". May I inquire why you chose to hide here?" <span style='color:red'>You know very well Vera, now can we please sit down? We've been running through the jungle for awhile... </span> "I know... I picked your party up on thermal scanners. Now please make yourself at home while I contact Commander Revol about your visit." Xavier didn't reply but headed into one of the elevators on the left and hit the button heading to one of the basement floors. The digital writing above the door said "Activity Center". The hologram turned to the others. "Hello My name is Vera. I am an advanced supercomputer A.I. that runs this base. This base is a part of the criminal empire "The Lost". It is a secret organization and I must warn you that if you speak of this place or the empire to anyone connected to the government or military you will be terminated. That said, please enjoy your stay." The hologram bowed and dissapeared, leaving only the several other holograms, each slightly different, standing at the front desk on the right, motionless...
Jahhar forced a smile after hearing the hologram speak. Then he walked up to Xavier. "What in the world? The Lost..." Jahhar's voice drifted away. He thought he recognized the name from somewhere. "Oh well, now that we are here. What shall we do? wait?"
