    A dragon with yellow tinted fur and dark blue stripes paced back in forth in front of his desk. He had just watched on a monitor as the last camera on his Teslo clone had been incinerated by the sun katana. The arden's name was James Lome.

    A white thill tinted with purple on her limbs watched from the back of the office. As the arden paced, he spoke to both himself and the thill.
    "Blazes, they just weren't strong enough. Its been proven that a duplicate of someone else is weaker, but the Teslos were a strong team to begin with. Even their clones should have done a better job than that."

    James, James Lome had founded a company several years ago called Corporation of Biological Research (CBR). The company had been founded to find ways to improve dragon life. James, who had founded the company, was a very harsh leader and didn't stand for mistakes. However, his co-workers were willing to put up with him because of his excellent ideas which always worked. Under his leadership, the company had prospered and made many technological advancements.

    Most recently, most of the company's man power had been put to use to try to develop an army of clones. James had predicted that in the future of warfare, armies would eventually stop relying on normal dragons. It took a long time to train normal dragons, they were never perfect, and they had to be paid. So James had theorized that armies would begin making robots to fight for them. However, the armies would soon realize that thwarting robots could be easy, so instead, the armies would turn to clones. Clones could be made specifically for fighting, if developed properly they didn't need to be paid, they could be developed to follow commands perfectly, and if they were made specifically for fighting, they could be trained from their creation and be ready to fight within a shorter period of time than normal dragons.

    However, when CBR began its project, it was soon discovered that to completely duplicate a dragon is nearly impossible. There will always be incredibly tiny flaws in the clone and all of the flaws would add up and make the clone ultimately weaker. CBR had played with the DNA of various subjects many times to try to create a perfect duplicate, and their most recent attempts were the copies of the Teslos. Yet, even after much effort and research, the clones of the Teslos hadn't been much of a match for even a group of magicians who had been outnumbered.

    "How can we pick out all of those flaws?" asked James angrily. He pulled out a remote control and hit a button. A white screen came down and an image of a DNA blueprint appeared on it. "When we clone the first group of cells, they are clones perfectly. You can see, by the time the ten thousandth cell is produced, you can began to see minor flaws." James thought for a short while, looking at the ground again. He then looked up. "Prehaps it has to do with slight amounts of radiation emmited by our machines while the process is taking place." James' face seemed to brighten at his thought. "The process of cloning needs to take place in a led room to shield it from radiation. Of course..."
    "Which Teslo should we clone sir?" asked the Thill.
    "We won't clone a Teslo this time..." replied James with a slight grin on his face.

    Auraron gazed out from a window in the motel he and Jusaki had been staying in. Jusaki's archons still hadn't located the base in Gyu and Auraron couldn't seem to retrace his steps to find it either. Auraron was feeling midly distressed. Three days and there had been no clues, no signs.

    Auraron suddenly spotted a dragon walking through the streets of Bhim. It was... Sevj. What was he doing in Bhim?...
     
  2. Sejv wandered along a little confused, he must have been drinking a little to much lately because his mind was a little all over the place. He gazed around a little shaking his head, he knew he shouldnÂ’t drink really since it affected his mind. God knows what would happen if he got drunk and attempted magic, the havoc it could cause could be catastrophic.

    Still when he opened his eyes again, after attempting to shake off some of his odd thoughts he saw Auraron. He blinked in mild surprise and smiled slightly, a little nervous though. " Oh hello, arnt you one of the Teslo's" he said a little curious, he was sure he had seen him at the beach that day. Although he had never heard his name.

    He was a little curious what the Teslo was doing here, maybe it had something to do with this feeling he had. Something just wasnÂ’t right today, in fact it was wrong. Very wrong and it was making his uncomfortable to see the Teslo right now. They were too suspicious.
     
  3. OOC: I outa mention that its night time, maybe an hour after sunset in Bhim. Not sure what the time would be in Sagar though...
    BIC:
    "Good evening, Sevj," replied Auraron cooly from behind the window. Sevj's words were slightly muffled and it did seem a bit akward to be speaking through a window.
    Auraron was about to open the window when he heard from behind him, Jusaki murmer lightly. "Don't..." Jusaki apparently didn't trust Sevj for some reason. Auraron trusted the old dragon's instincts more than his own, so he left the window shut.
    "What are you doing out here Sevj?" asked Auraron. "I thought you would be keeping things tidy in your guild hall in Sagar."

    While Auraron was speaking, Jusaki was making a mental contact with one of his two archon and telling it to go to the guild hall in Sagar Sea. For some reason, it didn't make sense as to why Sevj would be here and Jusaki wanted very badly to ask Magnus about this incendent. In truth, to be honest, Jusaki wasn't entirely sure that Auraron was talking to the real Sevj....
     
  4. Sejv looked at the Teslo thought his little window slightly puzzled, he wasnÂ’t sure why he just didnÂ’t un do it. It was really interfering with the conversation, unless, of course he wanted to hide something behind it. Sejv hid a scowl at the Teslo, instead just smiling pleasantly while he spoke, he did not trust these people one bit. Maybe there was another clone about that they had missed, another one that had evaded capture or something.

    "Ah no actually, I donÂ’t normally spend much time there unless there is something more important at hand. IÂ’m searching for the other clone in fact, the guild has reason to believe its on Bhim somewhere." The guild had tracked down part of there history to here but alas they could get no fix on the location, instead just flashing images that made no sense. Still, wouldnÂ’t stop him trying to find him.

    He was begging to get some serious suspicious out here with the Teslo, they didnÂ’t know after all how many where made. It would be unfeasible after all for them to be coming off a production line, maybe he was talking to a clone right now.

    He decided that the best plan of action would be to at least talk to him, try and find so holes in his story or some conclusive evidence. "Sow hat about you then, why are you here." He asked in return, doing his best to keep suspicions out of his voice.
     
  5. Auraron had a grim smile as he spoke to Sevj. "The clone facility is in Bhim forest, I'm positive. I'm here with Jusaki and we are currently trying to locate it." Auraron spoke in a casual tone.

    After giving commands to one of his servants, Jusaki watched Auraron converse with Sevj. Jusaki was tempted to flip over Sevj's left ear and search for the inscription telling whether or not Sevj was a clone. That would be preposterous. Especially if that happened to be the real Sevj...

    ---

    Several hours later, the archon landed on the island in the Sagar Sea. The archon slowly, yet gracefully approached the guil hall door and called out. "Jusaki brings a message for the great leader Magnus!"
    Jusaki sensed when his archon had arrived at its destination. In Bhim, it was around one hour after midnight. The other archon still hadn't turned up any clues about the base in the Bhim forest...
     
  6. Sejv smiled at the archon once he had found out where they thought the clone facility was, that was something he didnÂ’t know. He was surprised thought that they gave away their information so easily, ah well his gain.

    "Ill see ya around then, I might go off and have a look myself. Good luck with the search for the missing Teslo clone." He said as he waved off the Auraron and other Teslo, walking off towards the direction of the forest. He was confidant with the amount of tricks he knew he could find it, or at least find the missing clone. He was itching for conflict, in fact he wanted to fight so badly his fists where clenching.

    He stopped for a moment and tried to regain his composure, this wasnÂ’t like him at all. Like Magnus he was somewhat of a pacifist, preferring to talk rather than fight yet he found him self filled with aggression and anger. Maybe he needed to fight to get out all his aggression, all of it. Maybe he should get some of it out now, at the Teslo maybe.

    He grinned slightly, a wicked smirk on his face as his clenched fist. Fire forming around it in a ball, ethereal flames licking at his hands. His head looked over his shoulder and grinned at the TesloÂ’s. He would get his aggression out alright. Turning yet raising his fist back, a ball of fire the size of a car hurling itself at themÂ…

    ...

    The guard at the guild gate grumbled at the nutter out side screaming his head off, they had locked onto his with two fixed emplacement guns as soon as he had landed. The security of the place had been tripled after the attack, since the last clone was out their they didnÂ’t risk anything.

    He stood up though with a smile great leader Magnus indeed, Magnus was a good man but calling him great leader sounded too cult ish, at best he was just the principle. Still he knew Magnus would be busy, he would just use the inter comm.

    Pressing the button. "Sir we have a Teslo lackey here demanding to speak to Magnus."

    There was a silence for a moment.

    Then "Magnus Is busy, ill take the message though." Came the familiar voice of senior Mage Sejv, he often did this sort of thing. So far nearly all mages where at the guild, all dabbling with magic and trying to find out about the clones.

    ...

    Sejv made his way to the gate, shuffling his cloak around his neck more. He was just dressed in his combat gear, armour plaiting on his chest and arms and limbs. His combat pants and his desert boots, with a magical armour weave cloak on. High alert meant full kick arse uniform.

    He walked out of the gate, a smaller door opening at the base for people, no point in opening the whole thing for one man.

    "Yes can I help you" He asked impatiently. His fingers playing idly with his gloves.
     
  7. "Blasted magician," muttered Auraron under his breath as he saw the blast of fire moving towards him. Auraron took all the oxygen out of the air around the fire. Without any fuel, the fireball went out in the blink of an eye. Auraron turned to look at Jusaki who was sitting in a meditative position, focusing on the archon who was hearing the words of Sevj. [Probably doesn't notice the fight occuring,] thought Auraron as he gazed at Jusaki who seemed vunerable to attack.
    "Take care of him, he's a clone." Jusaki's sudden words startled Auraron.

    ---

    On the island with the guild hall, when Jusaki had seen through the archon's eyes, Sevj standing in front of the guild hall. He knew that the other Sevj in Bhim was a clone. However, when Jusaki had spoken to Auraron, his words had also been spoken through the archon by accident.
    "Take care of him, he's a clone," spoke the archon in a flat voice. Jusaki quickly added to his words he had accidentally spoken through the archon.
    "My apologies dear Sevj. I was attempting to give Auraron some instruction. It seems that the same dragons who manufactured the Teslo clones have created another clone. Yet, this time, they cloned you. Auraron and I are currently in the Bhim black market." As Jusaki spoke, he heard Auraron open the window of the motel and leap out of it so that he might do battle with Sevj's clone in an area that would cause less destruction.
    "Auraron is currently engaged in battle with this clone," continued Jusaki. "I feel that it is important that you understand what is going on. For its not just a situation that involves the Teslo family any more." Jusaki finished his short speech through the archon to Sevj and waited for a reply. Jusaki half wondered if Sevj would actually believe this story--this true story.

    ---

    Auraron was facing Sevj's doppleganger in the middle of a street which the motel was right by. When Auraron had heard from Jusaki that this Sevj was a clone, he threw a vial filled with poison towards Sevj. He then manipulated the air around the vial and caused it to break open. A flurry of glass and deadly acidic poison flew towards Sevj.
    Upon contact, this particular poison would be absorbed into the victim's skin. The poison would cause both the victim's mind and body to degenerate. The poison was reversible with an antidote, but as long as the poison remained in the victim, the symptoms would only grow worse.
     
  8. Sejv MK2 growled in fury as his mighty attack was simply blow asunder by a cheap air trick. He hated aerokinesis masters, they where so simple minded yet they came across as all high and mighty. It only made him all the more angrier, he was half way through conjuring a lighting bolt to zap the kiom with when the barrage of glass and poison flew his way. Instead of ducky his way out he tried to blast through it, unleashing the lighting that vaporised the glass and poison, the odd lumps of twisted and melted glass hitting the floor.

    He drew on all his strength again, chanting his arcane words that manipulated the magic in the air. yet suddenly his concentration was sapped, like a sudden ringing in his ear that multiplied by ten fold. He gritted his teeth as his hands came to his ears, flames jutting around them but soon disappearing. His spell was broken.

    ...

    Sejv gawped at the gormless looking archon, he never really liked the things himself. The were the perfect soldier personified, just a simple minded slave to something else that only really existed to serve or fight. Still it was crazy hearing such words from one.

    "Well as a senior guild representative I shall go to this place and see to the destruction on the clone myself." He said very firmly, not liking the idea of another him at all. "We have teleports to most main locations, we can be their in a matter of minutes. Will we need backup." He said, checking his equipment while keeping conversation with the archon.

    He was not sure how a clone could work, they really challenged theological ideas. Did it have the same soul as him, the same memories. Yet more importantly, how on ramath did they get his DNA. It was preposterous. It didnÂ’t matter, he was in the mood to kill.

    ...

    Sejv MK2 looked at his hand with a puzzled look on his face, a simple and small, yet altogether deadly sharp of glass was imbedded in his hand. With all the adrenaline pumping he hadnÂ’t even felt it, yet now he could feel the familiar sting and the cold sensation of blood. It was obviously carrying the poison, he could feel it though his body.

    But he would not go down without a fight, not yet anyway. Before he fell to insanity and pain he summoned up something quick and effective. His hands danced through the air at a pace even he found fast, three pools of rock seemed to clump together and assemble. Each one was a golem, impervious to magic and hard as marble. And each one was marching its way over to the TesloÂ’s, MK2 needed a plan and fast, falling over and curling up again.
     
  9. Auraron watched contently as the poison ran its course through the clone's body. However, Auraron was caught slightly off guard as this duplicate managed to have both mind and energy enough to summon three stone golems from nearby stone piles. As Auraron backed up, he conjured intense gusts of wind which seemed to have no effect on the golems at all, except maybe slowly their pace.

    ---

    As Jusaki heard the words of Sevj, he himself wondered how Auraron was doing. He broke contact with the archon temporarily and opened an eye to see how Auraron was doing outside of the motel room. Jusaki watched briefly as three stone golems slowly advanced upon Auraron who was slowly backing away from them. Jusaki returned his mind's eye to the archon in the Sagar area and reastablished the mental bond with his servant.
    "If I was you, Sevj, I might consider taking reinforcements. These clones look about as dangerous as yourself, and I don't know how many of them there are." Jusaki heard a cry of help from Auraron. "I must go, there seems to be trouble presently."

    ---

    Auraron had backed into a building. As he was about to create a gust of wind to help him move to the top of the building, one of the golems had grabbed him in a surprisingly swift motion. Who would have guessed that a slugish creature as a golem could move in quick bursts when needed?
    "Jusaki, I need help," cried Auraron as he felt the air inside of him slowly being crushed from him. Auraron saw the window slide open and Jusaki leap out.

    Jusaki placed his hands together in front of himself and issued a blast of light, much like a laser which dug into the golem's wrists and slowly began eating away at the rock. The other two golems spotted Jusaki, or prehaps sensed him, and began walking towards him. Jusaki's beam of light had cut through have of one of the wrists of the stone golem, but Jusaki wouldn't finish freeing Auraron before the other golems reached him. One of his archon was leaving the guild hall in Sagar, and the other was deep in the forest of Bhim, searching for the hideout. Either of them would take too long to arrive at the battle scene.

    Just after one of the wrists of the golem squeezing Auraron came off, Jusaki had to leap out of the way of the other two golems which tried to grab him too. Jusaki grabbed a piece of metal which was lying on the street. He conjured a blade of light on the end of it, making it a sword of pure light, with a... strange looking handle too.

    However, Jusaki wasn't concerned with appearances as he leapt towards the golem killing Auraron and took a slice at the remaining wrist. A deep gash appeared in the stone, but Jusaki wasn't able to cleave it. Jusaki turned to look behind him as he saw one of the two other golems sprinting towards him. Jusaki needed to defend himself, but he also needed to help Auraron who was gasping for air like a fish on dry land.
     
  10. Sejv's face became one of panic, he immediately barked some orders to the guard, something about getting more. Then Grabbing the archon by his wrist he dragged him into the guild, through the double doors then into one of the rooms. Inside was a teleporter with numerous switches and such inside, with a control panel next to the large device.

    "We obviously donÂ’t have much time," He said as he kicked a sleeping apprentice with a magazine in his lap. "Set it to Bhim market, NOW" putting the full weight of his authority into his voice. He stepped onto the large blue platform pulling the archon with him, 3 large and evenly spaced out towers surrounded it with electrode type things.

    In a flash of lightning fast movements from the apprentice, his hands working the controls stupidly fast. Then in a flash of white light and a tingle of power they were gone. And materialised straight into the market, right next to the mass of chaos.

    ...

    MK2 was on the floor now rolling around, his hands almost crushing his own skull. He was thumping the ground as his muscles ached, the agony he felt was indescribably. It felt like every nerve and cell is his body was on fire, every thing was just not working.

    Using the last of his mind he tired to do the only thing he had left, his options were few and far between. The golem suddenly dropped Auraron, all three of them just stopped immediately.

    "I called them off, please.... Just make it stop." he cried, his voice just degenerating into a gurgle. Ending with him thumping his fist down onto the ground. He couldnÂ’t take it any more, he just wanted to live.

    ...

    Sejv looked at the scene in total shock, the mirror image of himself curled up on the floor, the golems standing their. It even fought like him, it was truly insane.

    "My word.... I never thought it would be so weird." He said, his voice faint and barely audible.

    Yet he was filled with a very large desire to save it. Seeing himself under attack and in gross amounts of pain was having a bizarre affect on him, instead of joining in he just looked on in amazement. He was speechless.
     
  11. Jusaki was relieved to see Sevj appear in the market with one of his archon. He was also relieved to see the clone show submission. Especially since Jusaki wasn't sure if he could fight against two stone golems.
    "The arden you were trying to kill is the only one who can save your life," replied Jusaki grimly to Sevj's clone. Jusaki ran over to Auraron and propped him up on his knees so that Auraron could breath more easily.
    "Ribs... must be broken..." whispered Auraron between heavy breaths.
    "I need the antidote to save the duplicate. He knows where the hideout is even if he can't access that memory at the current moment," replied Jusaki. Even though he spoke of different matters, he was still concerned about Auraron. However, he wasn't sure how much time was left before MK2 was destroyed by the poison.

    Auraron managed to muster the strength to pull out a vial and give some simple instructions. "Make slit... it goes into blood..."
    Jusaki nodded and carefully layed Auraron down on his side. Jusaki rushed over to the clone and extended one of his talons. He used that talon to make a slit across the arm of the clone. Jusaki then poured the contents of the vial into the open wound before placing his hand over the gash and applying pressure so it didn't bleed too heavily. Unfortunate that Jusaki had not syringe to inject the antidote rather than making a gash.

    The archon that had been taken through the teleporter was given commands by Jusaki to help keep Auraron propped up so he could continue to breath easily.
     
  12. MK2 was writhing on the floor now, he was in so much pain that he didnÂ’t even notice the cut Jusaki made in his arm. He wasnÂ’t really aware of anything really, he hadnÂ’t even noticed that his original was standing only a short space away. Yet as soon as the antidote was introduced to his system he felt like a massive weight had been taken off his mind. The antidote seemed to spread like wild fire and as it moved around the pain eased.

    It wasnÂ’t too long before he gained control of his muscles again, but he didnÂ’t do anything with them. He just they their, enjoying the feeling of being alive and sane. He had come very close to death, or the death of his mind at least. But saying that once you lost your mind and sense of identity where you really alive.

    This however lead to another question, he had heard them call him a clone or duplicate. At first he had just placed it on his mind and the poison but when he opened his eyes he had nearly fainted. Looking straight at him was himself, yet not himself.

    "What the hell is going on. Who am I, What am I." He said, panic and fear filling his voice madly.

    ...

    Sejv looked at his clone in both shock and awe, his mind completely empty until he saw a golem looking at him with an odd glare in its eye. That threw him off. He immediately began work on a counter spell, it was rather simple really. Not only were golems a favourite of his, which made the clones tastes the same as his. But also their was no one resisting hsi counter spell, the clone near knocked out.

    ...

    Magnus came through the teleporter with a massive stride, his mask shooting glares at everything in the situation. he cursed instantly as he saw the wide eyed look of some spaced out Sejv sitting on the floor. Then clearly the real one in all his battle armour. It was so strange to see the enemy as Sejv, although it was not him it was hard to believe at times.

    He first impression was always his first, tend to the wounded. He began walking up to Auraron with a very demanding expression in his eyes. Although he put his hand straight on his ribs, pushing very gently. "Please tell me why your clone business now involves my mage's." he said with a very neutral tone that obviously had a lot of restraint in it.

    His hand however let out a small light glow that worked its way into the system of Auraron, mending his wounds and such and knitting tissue together.

    He was furious.
     
  13. Jusaki was troubled with Magnus' demanding questions. Especially after a battle like this. However, Jusaki reminded himself that Magnus had already had one terrible experience with some Teslos, fake Teslos, before. It was not Jusaki's place to be angry at Magnus.

    Auraron felt the pressure of Magnus' touch which brought pain only for a split second before the magic began to heal his wounds. He remained silent as Magnus asked questions. Jusaki was Auraron's ancestor. Jusaki would answer to the situation as he saw fit.
    "Magnus," began Jusaki. "First of all, please understand that these--this clone, is not of my making. That is why I should also add that this is now something that you should be concerned with. An unkown company has created a clone of one of your students. There may be more clones created. Don't tell me that you don't care about this situation.," finished Jusaki. The archon who had come up beside Jusaki stood steadily.
     
  14. Magnus sighed as he contained his anger, this whole situation was driving him nuts and his hand clenched into his hand for a moment before he regained his composure. This kiom couldnÂ’t be more wrong if he tried, it was amazing how far of the mark he was.

    "Care" He said quietly. " I cared from the moment the clones of your bloody family turned up at my guild and tried to assassinate us, I know they werenÂ’t your creation but they did target us. Now they have cloned my guild members and causing havoc, I've had my eye on this for a fair while now. And right now I want to march right over to this "company" and destroy it and any samples it may have." He said with his voice trembling on the verge of yelling.

    It was very difficult to yell at someone who showed little emotion though.

    ...

    Sejv MK2 was blubbering and fretting now, his voice pitch oscillating up and down like a yoyo as he screamed out his crazy thoughts. He was saying things about do i have a sole, and am IÂ’m naturally evil and such. It was bordering on the verge of hysterical.

    It was at that point that MK2 came to a conclusion, these people werenÂ’t going to help him any time soon, so he jumped to his feet and scrambled for the direction of the forest. His long legs pacing himself out, in a flash his was quadruped and galloping for all the might in him.

    ...


    It was at that point when Magnus snapped, his head was under a lot of pressure and the stupid philosophical ideas of a clone were irritating. And when the thing started to run away, so did his patients. His arm snapped out and a massive ball of white light shot straight out and wrapped itself around the clone, a perfect sphere of glowing light. And sound proof too.

    "And for the love of anything someone shut him up." He said as the sphere manifested itself around MK2.

    Then he had an idea, one that would save a lot of time to. "Should we let him go, IÂ’m sure we could track him down and chances are he would head to the company." A curious tone in his voice as the anger dissipated.
     
  15. A slight grin which was barely visible appeared on Auraron's face, but he didn't say anything. Jusaki simply nodded and forced the light magic around the clone to dissipate.

    Watching the clone break free of the magic suddenly and spring foward towards the direction of the forest was like watching a racehorse waiting fora race to start, and then suddenly breaking into a heavy run when its gate is opened.
    Niether Jusaki or Auraron knew about racehorses. No one on Ramath-lehi did for that matter. Even so, the visulization of Sevj breaking free and springing foward towards the woods in such a manner was something Auraron wouldn't easily forget.

    Jusaki began racing after the doppleganger, his archon keeping up. Auraron ran after both Jusaki and his archon. Even though Auraron was tired, he did not complain, for he had been more tired in different circumstances.

    ---

    Jusaki, Auraron, and the archon chased after Sevj's duplicate. Along the way, Jusaki's second archon had spotted the three and added to their party. Auraron only presumed that Magnus, and the real Sevj were following close behind.

    As the clone ran, it seemed to dissapear suddenly as it ran through a large boulder. Jusaki, the two archon, and Auraron stopped in front of the boulder. Jusaki pushed his hand towards the outside of the boulder. His hand went through. Apparently the boulder was some type of holographic doorway. A good one at that.

    Jusaki nodded and stepped through the boulder. Auraron and the archon followed, and presumable, Magnus and the real Sevj followed suite.

    ---

    "We've got intruders," murmered James' secretary, looking at a monitor and watching first the clone of Sevj, and then some Teslos and their archon decend a staircase.

    James looked up from his work at his desk to the monitor for a few moments before going back to his work. "Kill them all."

    ---

    When Jusaki reached the bottom of the stairway, he found himself in a small metallic room. Lights were shined in the room, so he could see. Sevj's clone was trapped in this small room. The only way out was back up the stairs, or through what looked like two closed doors.
    "You're trapped," spoke Auraron grimly as he got to the bottom of the stairs with the archon.

    Before and more events came to pass, the two giant mettalic doors opened and revealed a handful of dragons with machine guns. The dragons began firing into the room as soon as they layed eyes of Jusaki, the clone, the archon, and Auraron.

    Jusaki was shot in the stomach, left leg, and right arm before he was able to react and set up a shield of light in place of the opened doors. The shield was able to block any more incoming projecticles. The shield faltered slightly as Jusaki stumbled back into a wall, holding his stomach.
     
  16. Both Magnus and Sejv raced after the Teslo's they werenÂ’t quite as quick as them as Sejv was making sure Magnus could keep up. Magnus wasnÂ’t really overly fast and Sejv wasnÂ’t really making any attempt to sprint like mad. He was however watching them very carefully, it seemed that the t=Teslo group had grown with another archon.

    Sejv and Magnus where pacing themselves out when they saw the whole group disappear into some boulder, it was a sight that made Sejv blinked rapidly, not to mention Magnus who was a little confused.

    As Magnus approached the door, Sejv ran ahead as his sensitive ears picked up the faint ringing sound of bullets. He raced through the holographic wall and came almost head first into two massively fixed steel doors.

    "Magnus hurry, please their under attack I can hear it." he said with his ear to the door before jumping back.

    ...

    Magnus grinned under his steel mask as he approached the door, metal was some what of a specialty with him. Others would call it an obsession but with his Biokinesis he could craft metal in shapes few could imagine.

    He walked up to the floors and focused, a lance of invisible energy came from his mind straight into the doors, seeping into the metal. They then began to twist and bend, the metal contorting then flowing like a liquid. it then flowed down the stairs and sealed up the two openings from which the guards where attacking.

    "What now, stay here and attack or come back with more forces." he said with a questioning tone, slipping into his authoritarian role with ease. Personally he was all for fighting but he wasnÂ’t sure on how serious Jusaki was hurt, blood seemed to be streaming from his wounds.
     
  17. "Harness the metal out of my body and go on without me," spoke Jusaki sofly, breathing heavily. "If we turn back now, they might hunt us down. I'll keep one archon with me and send the other to accompany you. Hopefully I'll meet up with you again... after I catch my breath."

    "That's an understatement," muttered Auraron under his breath. Jusaki slid down into a sitting position against the wall.
    Auraron looked towards one of the two sealed entry ways. He focused on one of them and held his hands out beside himself in a meditative position before closing his eyes. The noise of the guards hammering on the steel, Magnus-made doorway was stiffled from Auraron's hearing as he concentrated on the air molecules in the area five yards around him.

    In Auraron's mind's eye, he saw the air that was being breathed in and out by the guards outside of the two steel walls. The inhaling, and exhaling of the many guards seemed to be taking place in slow motion as Auraron got a firm grasp on the air in the large perimeter around him.

    It happened to the guards one at a time as soon as they took in a breath of air. The individual molecules of air filled each of the millions of alveoli in the lungs of the guards. Suddenly, the distance between each of the air molecules increased.

    Ruptured lungs, guard coughing up blood, shouts of confusion dissolving into sickening coughing and gagging. The noises heard would disturb even the most hardened people. The sight to see was an entirely different story...

    When all had come to pass, Auraron opened his eyes. "Let's go."
     
  18. Magnus turned his main attention to Jusaki who seemed to be in dire straits, normally he could heal him very well with some of his more arcane magic. But like Auraron, Jusaki was a vampire and that meant he was sensitive to healing magic so only basic things could be done. He could however get the harmful bullets out of his body, and with a focus of thought he slowly pulled them out in a more liquid form. To do least damage.

    Then he tried to heal up some of his more basic injuries, just to seal up the holes them selves and start of the healing process that vampires had. He could replace the lost blood though, that would surly do him more harm than good.

    "IÂ’ve done all I can, your healing abilities should take over from here." He said as metallic orbs floated around his head. Which suddenly turned with the particularly gruesome sound that came from belong the walls.

    He didnÂ’t want to know what he had just done.

    As Auraron gave the all clean his focus his thoughts into the metal, twisting it open like a portal. The crude doorway shape forming then even hinges and a lock on Jusaki sides, just in case more guards came and he lacked the strength to finish them off.

    Since their were two separate paths either side of them, it posed the question of should they split up into different groups, it meant more chance of finding the people behind this thing, yet if they ran into too much it could prove fatal.

    "Shall we separate or stay together, IÂ’m not sure on the defences in this place." Concern filling his voice.

    Â…

    Sejv was now composing himself more, and his hand his gun out now, the pistol fully cocked and loaded and the sight fully configured on the top. With a little tweak it was emitting a small red targeting light for better accuracy, he wasnÂ’t the best shot in the world by far.

    He was however quite a competent mage and he was ready for battle. “ I think we should break it down into small groups, better chance of catching these pricks. How about me and erm me, and then Auraron and Magnus." He said as he realised their weren’t actually that many battle ready people, he was beginning to wish Karma was here again.

    The idea of running around with his clone sounded fun, but a little action packed. Also he didn’t have the best idea of who or what he was looking for. “Actually I’m confused." He said with some concern.

    Â…

    Sejv MK2 however was cowing more in the corner, a mixture of shock, self preservation and a mass amount of violence had him terrified. He had narrowly avoided being shot to ribbons buy the guards and he wasnÂ’t sure what was going to happen once they were finished.

    “How about I stay here and every one else goes off, I can stop them from coming here with something." He said meeky, he didn’t want them to die. But if they did their job he could then sneak off, the personality of Sejv in him stopped him from totally abandoning them. After all he did have all his memories.
     
  19. Jusaki, not wanting to waste the physical energy to speak, sent a message to the archon which was accompanying the group. The archon spoke out.
    "Find the other Teslos, and then all of us will track down the leader of this organization and send him a message he won't forget."

    The mission seemed simple enough, but things were never as they seemed. One of the truths of reality...

    "They broke our defenses sir," spoke the secretary in a somewhat startled voice as she watched through security cameras.
    "Then why don't you send more dragons to take them out? On top of that, clear out the laboratories. This is a code red situation and I don't want any of my precious scientists being killed by the cross-fire. Engage steels walls over the lab equipment and transform the labs into suitable battle zones for our guards," finished James hotily.
    "Sir, I do not think covering the equipment in steel walls would be wise, one of the dragons seems to be able to-."
    "Then use some damn plastic!" shouted James in anger at his secretary.
    "Yes sir."

    ---

    Auraron heard alarms blaring.
    "Code red invasion, all lab workers, please report to underground living quarters. Repeat code red invasion," chimed the electronic voice of a computer of a loud speaker.
    "Guess they know we're here," murmered Auraron, a hint of sarcasm in his voice. "Let's not give them any more time to prepare."

    Auraron grabbed one of the machine guns from one of the ruined guards and proceeded through one of the doorways, the archon Jusaki had sent with him followed closely, alert to all things.

    Auraron walked down a long hallway, on either sides were sealed doors. Auraron thought about trying to break into one of the rooms until he looked through a glass window of one of the doorways. Deadly looking gun-turrets scanned the rooms which were mostly bare except for large objects which looked like they had been sealed in a thick plastic. Auraron kept walking.

    When Auraron reached the end of the hallway, he found a pair of sliding doors. According to directions on the wall, they led to sector two. On the other side of the doors, Auraron saw a very large room. It too was mostly bare like the previous rooms. The walls of the room were concrete painted with blue. The floor was made up of blue tiles. The room was at least 15 meters long and 15 meters wide. A fairly large room. There were concrete bunkers set up with guards sitting behind them. They didn't seem to notice Auraron on the other side of the glass sliding doors. The glass was possible one way see-through glass. From the large room, several pathways branches off and painted words on the walls indicated where each of them led. Auraron was able to make out a few of the words. One of the pathways led to sector 3. One of the pathways led to the prison cells. One of the pathways led to nanotechnology labs. That was all Auraron could make out.
    "This is where we need to go next," spoke Auraron to Magnus who was presumably behind him and had presumably been following him. Auraron still felt mentally drained from his previous bout with the guards who had been encountered earlier. For that matter, he didn't have his aerokinesis to rely on. That was part of the reason he had earlier grabbed a machine gun from one of the wrecked guards' corpses.
    "Go when your ready," murmered Auraron, holding the machine gun up to his shoulder. The machine gun was similar to an earthen M-16. Looking through the scope on the top, Auraron examined the weapons that the guards through the glass were holding. The guards appeared to be holding some type of plastic gun, possibly a beam gun of some sort. Auraron's speciality wasn't weapons anyways.
    The archon behind Auraron unsheathed a sword which glowed brightly from flames infused in and on it which would burn eternily. Auraron could feel the heat from the flames.
     
  20. Sejv and Magnus peered at the glass, looking and studying the positions of the enemy, who seemed to be quite well fortified. Magnus was slightly pissed off at the mass amounts of plastic that had suddenly rendered a large amount of his surprise attacks useless. His fist clenched and turned his knuckles white with frustration, until his mind came up with another plan.

    Slipping his staff into a more battle likely position, he let it touch the plastic wall. This was going to take a large amount of power.

    Plastic was made up of large chains of hydrocarbons and alkenes, which had been polymerised to form plastic. And Hydrocarbons were essentially wood in a more broken down form, which came under the influence of Biokinesis. Of course the fact he was a master in this helped greatly.

    He let his mind focus, and slowly he began to draw the plastic into a more suitable material, re arranging the atoms to form a more organic structure. Before the guards could even notice the change, he hurled massive splinters of it at them like a cloud of death. Razor likes spikes piercing quite a few of them fatally, blood spurting out of the wounds.

    But a few jumped to safely behind the bunker, as Magnus retreated to more of the back of the group, a large portion of his power drained. For the moment anyway.

    ...

    As soon as Magnus pulled away, Sejv shot a surgical kick to the weakened part of the plastic much now, causing a massive part to fall down. He ran in guns blazing, his pistol arm out stretched as he ran forwards shooting slugs in their direction, the bullets ripping into the concrete and sending shrapnel everywhere.. The spray of bullet jackets coming out of the gun was quiet outstanding, he was hoping to keep them pinned down so he could advance.

    As he got a little nearer, he shot himself into the air with a burst of air elemental manipulation. Going over the bunker and then straight into a guard, his sword arm sweeping around.

    The blade drove its length across the guards chest, slicing though his armour and chest in one fell stroke, exposing his more inner workings.

    His eyes flashed as the remaining guards swivelled their guns towards him, he hoped the others were near.
