OOC: timestamp: 29 Tessera 81377 Character: Sulphea Monachside dressed in only her trenchcoat. Note to precaution: you are not what shes running from IC: Sulphea nimbly jumped from icy ledge to icy ledge. As she stopped to catch her breath in the thin air of the mountains once again she saw the shadowy figure move behind her. It had followed her up here all the way from the Kaushal ocean. What in the hell would follow me half the way around the world?! she asked herself as she took off again, useing every inch of her body to stay away from the freakish and deformed figure. She landed on a paticularly icy patch of ground and slipped. she tirned over and saw possibly the most freakish thing ever. It was half dragon and half tank, moveing at impossible speeds.
X-7 tackled the huge creature off a cliff, and proceeded to beat it in midair untill both of them slammed into the ground below, X-7 on top. He drew a beam saber from his side and sliced the creatures right arm half off before being thrown off into the snow. He put away the beam saber and rammed a fist into the side of it's face, and it fell back into the snow, sparking and twitching. He quickly activated his jet pack and flew to the top of the cliff he was on at first. He leaped over to the ledge the young lady he saw being pursued was on. <span style='color:blue'>Are you alright?</span> he asked, helping her up. <span style='color:blue'>Come on, it won't stay down for long, lets go!</span> he took a few steps forward and leaped to the next ledge, waiting for her to follow...
Sulphea looked in awe at the meca-dragon. She was shocked. Its not every day one military weapon attacks another. either this one had a flaw or worse, the military needed her for something. She was about to ask why it was here but decided that in this case it was much smarter to run first, ask questions later as she was sure that Mk.4 railgun in place of that... things right arm was twitching. "Thanks" she said as she stood up "dont worry 'bout me keeping up, my legs fine" as she jumped from icy pillar to ledge.
X-7 kept jumping, always a few feet ahead, and almost reached solid ground before a huge laser flew by his right side. <span style='color:blue'>Watch out!</span> he shouted back to Sulphea and willed his vulcan to assemble onto his shoulder, which it did, with haste. He jumped one final giant leap towards solid ground and spun in midair. His vulcan started spinning and unleashed a flurry of bullets only a feet feet to the side of Sulphea. The other cyborg stood, getting almost dissolved by the hail of bullets, and it fell down between the icy pillars... X-7 landed on solid ground, and waited for Sulphea to join him, his vulcan was already dissasembling.
Sulphea jumped down between the pillars after the two walking tanks, landing in the snow with no noise. "Is it dead?" she asked, pulling out two strange guns, with purple rods placed in them, glowing with sheer power.
<span style='color:blue'>Dead enough, but the military will come looking for it sooner or later, to see if it captured me.... But it kinda looked like it was going after you...</span> He turned to look at her. <span style='color:blue'>I'm Prototype X-7</span> he said, holding out his hand.
Sulphea, without even glanceing at his hand span on the spot and pointed her guns at X-7. "Good. now I need you to answer a couple of questions for me. I have no intention of useing these guns, but I know the military only too well, and I KNOW how they work."
X-7 withdrew his hand and held both of them in the air. But for some reason he got the urge to kill her. He ignored the feeling and responded. <span style='color:blue'>I am the seventh in a series of pendragon/machina technology/earth technology hybrids. I was taken as a child, infused with vampire blood, and turned into the weapon I am now... I have no memory of my past. I escaped the military research facility at Trilok and have travelled the world ever since, trying to find my new place in the world. The military has been after me ever since I escaped, And I bet that our friend here is the eighth in my series... But he has no earth technology on him... I don't know what to think, but if we don't get out of here now, the military will find us when they come for him...</span>
"well, eight out of ten there" sulphea said as she lowerd her guns. "although that thing there" she blasted the crippled tank-dragon with a blast of purple light from one of her guns "is actually X-10, I took down 8 and 9 along with some military general a little while ago. and dont worry about leaving quikly. I know those military guys, they send in a big tank and forget it was ever here. The only thing we have to worry about is if any more X-numbers come after either of us."
<span style='color:blue'>They made more than just number 8?!?, Then they did go ahead with the production... I obviously haven't figured much else after I escaped.... The military is starting to go too far... Was the general you killed named Dyok?</span> He gave the broken X series cyborg a vicious kick...
"No, the guy I took out was called Gaunt. Im not sure how many X-numbers they produced, but I do know this. They have never made another 7 as you escaped, number 8 is there 'general' all purpose unit, 9 is used as troop support and that one there" she blasted the corpse again "Is made for a one on one fight with anything. I also hear there makeing X-12, an anti-Xunit, designed just to take down others of its kind."
<span style='color:blue'>Fuck....</span> He didn't usually swear, but this was a dire situation. <span style='color:blue'>The General heading the whole operation is named Dyok, he started the project without consent from the graders, they never even knew this was going on... I will bring Dyok down no matter the cost!</span> He gave the broken X series another kick, and started walking away. <span style='color:blue'>Come on!</span> He called back to Sulphea, and activated his cloaking device...
Sulphea started following X-7. His story checked out, but still... Meh, might as well let him protect her from any more millitary-lackeys, until she was where she wanted to be that is. wait... what was that? even though he was useing his cloaking device she could still see his figure... "So, do you still have the millitarys top-secret tracking device in you, or dont you know about that either?" she said, looking up every secret millitary file on her small palmtop computer. If what she suspected was correct, they were going to have to find a mechanic right away.
<span style='color:blue'>Nah, I stopped at the black market after my escape, And a friend of mine removed it, crudely anyways, I also got a custom power source. Why? is there something wrong?</span> He stopped and turned around, and noticed he could see faintly see his arm. <span style='color:blue'>What the hell?</span> he waved his arm and deactivated his cloaking device. <span style='color:blue'>Whats the matter with me?</span> He asked Sulphea, sounding worried.
"Woldya' look at that. Well, first of all, your just the prototype, yes? You were never made to withstand this sort of climate, also half way down your back is a device that could instantly kill you if the one who has the right security code, i.e. the general, wishes. Either he doesnt see you as a threat, or he wants you alive... reassuring, eh?"
<span style='color:blue'>Ah, there you're wrong, The same friend of mine that removed the long range coms unit also gave me a blueprint of my own schematics, I learned a few things and removed all dangers to myself, but yes I do agree with you about the climate thing, it seems extreme tempatures eliminate my ability to cloak or use my hologram projector...</span> He paused and thought hard, before hearing the faint hum of a hovercopter. <span style='color:blue'>Damn!, the military is here, we gotta move!</span> He went from a walk into a sprint, away from the broken X series, but slowed down to a jog to let Sulphea catch up. <span style='color:blue'>I recieved a message a couple of days ago to attend an initiation ceremony for a gang being formed, I believe that to be my best chance of getting back at the military, and then completing my own plans of creating a new world order...</span> He turned and looked for signs of the Hovercopter, but there was nothing there. <span style='color:green'>An Mk-20 Class 4 Hovercopter has almost reached our position, Two pilots, a full squad of shock troopers fully armed, and also the Hovercopter is cloaked with a class 7 cloaking device, suggest engaging the enemy, as there are no immediate hiding places.</span> X-7 winced as he read the print in his right eye but tapped a single key on his keyboard. Every weapon system on his entire body was activated and prepped for fire. His vulcan assembled on his right shoulder, and a 8 missile launcher assembled on his left. Dual Photon powered handguns appeared in his hands, and his red robotic eye changed to thermal vision, the hovercopter appearing out of nowhere as he did so. <span style='color:blue'>Get ready for one of the biggest fights of your life...</span> X-7 said casually to Sulphea, and tossed her a pair of thermal goggles he had stored in one of his many compartments... <span style='width:100%;font-weight:bold; font-size:10px'>Out of Character</span> <table class=ooc><tr><td>Sorry for my blatant Starcraft and Phantasy Star Online ripoffs... :P </td></tr></table>
Sulphea tossed the goggles back "Dont worry 'bout me" She said, while pulling on some shoes, putting on a visor and changeing the settings on her guns "You 'aint got nothing I dont have better than". After a moments concideration she said "Ok, you cover me, I can take this thing out before it gets a lock on me" and before waiting for an answer, her shoes activated, melting the snow below her and she was shooting off along the ground faster than a speeding bullet. <span style='width:100%;font-weight:bold; font-size:10px'>Out of Character</span> <table class=ooc><tr><td>dont worry bout it, i have ripped off PSO (H&S25 Justice) and sonic (Shadows boots) :D ...plus half of sulpheas spells</td></tr></table>
<span style='width:100%;font-weight:bold; font-size:10px'>Out of Character</span> <table class=ooc><tr><td>Lol, yea PSO's the best, and shadow kicks ass :D </td></tr></table> X-7 deftly caught the goggles and stowed them back in the compartment he had got them from, then started up his vulcan. Soon the gun was rotating rapidly, and X-7 put it to good use. A storm of bullets sailed towards the approaching Hovercopter, and to the right of that, two missiles sailed clear, nailing the Hovercopter right in the midsection. The Hovercopter hung in the air for a moment, before hurtling to the ground below. X-7 casually approached the downed ship after putting away his vulcan and missile launcher, but with his handguns raised. He fired several shots, scoring deep into the side bay door, and in answer, the shock troopers disengaged from it. X-7 was almost too late in activating his plasma shield, and the shield was soon humming loudly with strain. The hail of laser and bullet fire forced him to slowly back off, while firing out of the protective bubble. His shots only downed a few shock troopers, the rest slowly closing in... I hope Sulphea hurries up... X-7 thought, as his shield gave way, forcing him to jump down in a flurry of snow...
okay... so there all fireing at the X-7... exelent One of the shock troops saw sulphea takeing a flanking route around the squads and opened fire on her. SHIIIIIIIT!!!! Sulphea dodged the hail of fire with an elegent combination of flips and spins, training her guns on where she knew the fule tank would be. aiiim... Sulpheas accuracy was reduced due to all the incomeing fire. Screw this!<span style='color:red'>"Vluja Ujjyf!!!"</span> An arrow of flames shot out of one hand, and an arrow of ice out of the other. They flew through the air, destroying all the incomeing shots and created a strange explosion when they hit, causeing a steamy mist to surround the victims. damn... i hope i got 'em...
X-7 noted Sulphea as she attacked, and as soon as she created a new distraction, he got up, Immediately assembled his vulcan, and aimed another flurry of bullets towards the cloud. The fire from the cloud stopped, and a lone survivor stumbled out of the smoke. X-7 walked over and grabbed him, looking him up and down. He was critically injured, and even with medical help X-7 knew he was going to die. <span style='color:blue'>Sulphea!</span> He called, <span style='color:blue'>Come over here!, if we hurry we can question him!</span> he took the troopers laser rifle and threw it away into the snow. Then gently laid him down, taking care to not injure him any further...
