  1. The Hovercopter dived suddenly, bringing them up next to the train as it steadily made it's way west towards the southern pole. Almost immediately, the cargo door they were beside opened up and several security units, robotic and pendragon, began firing at the 'copter. X-7 took the controls and swung the 'copter around, above the train. He got up, unhooked himself, and opened the side door of the 'copter. <span style='color:blue'>I'll open it up and clear the compartment alright? When I'm done, you two come join me inside.</span> He jumped down, using his jet pack to keep himself from blowing away, and latched onto the roof of the train. He energized his wrist blades and cut a circle of roof out, which greeted him with a flare of gunfire from out of it. He grinned towards the 'copter, and dropped inside. Soon screams and explosions could be heard, and X-7 shot a flare through the hole, signalling that the compartment was clear...
     
  2. Temrin nodded and watched as X-7 cut through the roof and jumped in. She smirked at the screems. She chuckled and crouched as the flare came up through the hole. Her smirking face turned to Jahhar and motioned him to follow. She jumped from the 'coptor and peeked her head into the hole. Her hands clasped the sides of the hole as she swung down and landed on the ground silently. The cargo door shut and locked as more "defenders" came crowding from the door. Some crouched, holding large guns over there shoulders. The high tech train had a hard metal inside that didnt even burn from the shots. Temrin chuckled and apeared behind the group. One looked behind and took out a small gun and went to shoot her but was dead before his finger even finished pressing the trigger.

    Her sword was out and blood covered as she stabbed a blaster gun holder and ran him through. The other got up and re-aranged themselves instantly. Some face the others and kept shooting and some faced her. Her fangs glinted as she smiled evily. She just loved her job...

    She swung her sword and killed the first couple closest to her.

    <span style='color:black'>Pathetic fools...</span>

    She took care of the rest and move out of the way of the door... breaking codes on doors wesn't her thing unles she could just sabotage the damn thing... regardless if the alarm went of or not...
     
  3. Jahhar grinned and jumped down towards the train. While flying downward, he extended his claws and powered up his augmentations. He braced himself for the impact as he hit the side of the train instead of the top accidentally. He stuck his claws in the side of the train and started climbing on the outside of it. He could hear the fight going on in the inside of the car as he crawled on the side of the train car. He made his way to a door on the side of the train he was on. He tore the door off with one of his hands, holding on tightly to the train car with the other. He was about to get into the open door when a dragon peered out of one of the other train cars and started firing at him. One of the shots grazed Jahhar's paws and he let go of the train for a split second, but quickly regrabbed the train car before he hit the ground. He tucked his legs of to keep them from dragging across the ground. He started climbing up again until he could get his feet gripped onto the train car again. As soon as he was secure again, the other dragon started firing at him again. Jahhar held up one of his paws and fired a burst of energy at him. The shot hit the dragon in the neck, who slumped over dead and fell out of the window he was peering and shooting out of. Jahhar was about to let out a sigh of relief when he had to duck close to the train to narrowly avoid getting hit by a pole that stuck up out of the ground, which the train ran by. Jahhar gritted his teeth and quickly climbed into the open door on the side of the train he had originally tried to climb into. He jumped in and looked around to see the dragons Temrin had killed.
    "Sorry I couldn't drop in earlier, I was delayed," said Jahhar. He looked around for any more enemies who might show up. But he wasn't sure what to do about the coded lock. He looked to X-7 to see if the robot had any plans.
     
  4. X-7 dispatched the last few pendragon guards with his bare hands, using his titanium hands to rip them apart. When he was done, he cleaned his hands by smearing the blood on the wall. He walked over to a plug in and accessed the train's network. He checked it out for a few minutes, and locked the door behind them. He then walked over to the other two. <span style='color:blue'>It looks like the military was waiting for this to happen. The weapon is in the front car of the train, which is the most guarded. I set us up too far from the target, I'm sorry. Anyways, we have to work our way up the train from here. I've locked the door behind us, so we won't be expecting anything from there. We gotta hurry up and get the weapon before the train reached the facility, otherwise we're screwed. The Hovercopter will be waiting to pick us up at the ruins in about 7 hours. We have to get the weapon and get back there, otherwise we're on our own... Enough talk, lets go...</span> He knew he seemed rushed, but he didn't care. He wanted to make these military lackeys pay, he wanted to feel the joy of turning their own weapon against them, watch them die by his hands... He rushed ahead, not bothering to open the large compartment door, he simply used his hands to pound away at it until it collapsed. His vulcan was assembled before the soldiers knew what happened. His vulcan raked the train car, sending the soldiers straight to fromina before they could raise their weapons. Then he was off towards the next car. In less than five minutes he had cleared the entire car by himself in a rage. Maybe if Temrin and Jahhar were quick they would actually do something...
     
  5. Temrin chuckled at X-7.

    <span style='color:black'>Does he not realise i can take us all there without anyone else knowing? at least just outside the car with the weopon.. i bet you anything that the car is protected by a barrier of some sort... </span>

    She looked at Jahhar. Maybe he was willing to give it a try... finish the job quicker with a two way aproach..

    <span style='color:black'>Here...</span>

    She held out her hand to him.

    <span style='color:black'>Wanna give it a shot? we can actually help X-7 and clear things on the other end</span>
     
  6. Jahhar looked around. "I wanna give X-7 a hand. You go ahead an go yourself." then he thought twice. "On second thought, I'll go with you." X-7 seemed to be doing fine alone.
     
  7. X-7 suddenly got some strange readings. He paused his hammering at the 6th door on his route, and was treated to a hail of ammo in his direction. He grimmaced, and felt his immune system and his auto repair program kick in. He ripped open the doors and used his wrist blades to hack the military soldier into pieces, before stopping to check the readings.


    <span style='color:green'>A strange energy system has been activated in every train car ahead of the door you locked. It's program, from what I could gather, disrupts all magic and special abilities, and prevents you from using your LT Short Range Jump Pack. Also, increased radiation levels and electrical signals show that all Military and security units have retreated to the front 5 cars. Cannot determine course of action, Readings disrupted, Computer going into sleep mode.</span>


    X-7 was alarmed at this. He paused to think, before going back to Jahhar and Temrin. Finding them gone scared him even more. He charged ahead, knowing he had to stop them from going into that car before they got themselves killed. He started up his missile launcher, and began systematically firing missiles at each door, waiting for the explosion to finish, then firing a missile at the next door through the created hole. He was greeted with the distant fire through the series of holes, and he charged ahead, ingoring the damage and only intent on saving his companions and getting the weapon...
     
  8. Temrin adn jahhar apeared just infront of the door to the front car... something seemed to stop them from getting through... She growled and looked at the door. She took out her sword and slammed it aggainst the door... Onnly to rebound back and slide across the floor. Voices were heard from the outside... a click and the door opened... armed forces came from the fronty car and the one behind them..

    <span style='color:black'>crap...</span>
     
  9. Jahhar raised an eye. He held out both hands and unleashed a wave of energy which insinerated all the men. "Hmm, odd," said Jahhar noticing the energy. He could practically smell it. He arms burned where he had unleashed his wave of energy. He had unleashed more thna he usually did in a blast. Of course, he needed to make sure he eliminated all teh resistance. "Let's not worry about it Temrin, let's work our way back to X-7." Jahhar started walking on a bridge connecting the cars when a dragon telapathically picked him up on the top of one of the cars. The same dragon punched Jahhar and shoved him off the train at teh same time with his telepathic powers. Jahhar caught on to a nearby rail sticking out of the ground with his claws and climbed to the top of it. He lunged back onto the train and kicked down the dragon causing him trouble. He stood on top of the dragon and crushed the dragon's head onto the train car. He was about to get back down when he noticed another 12 dragons also on top of the car with their guns aimed at him. Jahhar wouldn't risk moving, seeing that the dragons could easily gun him down.
     
  10. A wave of Vulcan fire sweeped across the line of men, spraying blood everywhere and killing them all instantly. <span style='color:blue'>You two alright?</span> X-7 asked, glancing back to the series of blasted holes and battled out train cars. He zoomed his robotic right eye in when he saw movement, and noticed the door he had previously locked open, revealing a two battle mech, that started spraying gatling gun fire and walking slowly towards them. He ran an I.D. and found they almost exactly resembled Lieuteneant Sander's Battle walker, minus the enhancements and customizations. He backed away from the line of holes, dodging the gunfire. <span style='color:blue'>We have to make it to the front of the train! I think We're going to need that weapon in order to take out those two walkers. Move it!</span> He said, and bolted forward, cutting a ragged hole, and heading into a violent hail of bullets that cut him off as he attempted to get to the front of the train. <span style='color:blue'>It's a trap!</span> Was all he could yell before he was flung back out by a stray rocket. He staggered, but managed to remain upright. <span style='color:blue'>You two, get the weapon! Jahhar equip it! I'll hold off the two walkers until you two can get back to help me... Thats an Order! Good Luck...</span> He said, before bolting off to the back of the train, managing to stay out of the worst of the gatling fire...
     
  11. Temrin climbed ran into the room.. She saw the 'dragons.. aiming at them and ready to fire. She growled and diapeared. Its like the train froze as her materialised body flew from its perch to a spot behind the 'dragons. She was finaly visible to the naked eye. She kicked up at a 'dragon and caused him to shoot upwards. She extended her claws and grabbed another 'dragon. She threw him into another couple dragons. one of them moved out of the way and shot aimlessly at her. the shot caught her in the middle of slide back from the throw. She winced as the bullet hit her side. She crouched and rammed the 'dragon in the gut, knocking him from the trains' roof.

    <span style='color:black'>JAHHAR! KILL THAT DOOR! GET IT OPEN! MORE ARE COMING THIS WAY!</span>

    She yelled at him. He needed to hurry! or they would fail their mission.. and most likely be dead... She held of the incoming forces making their way from other compartment on the train to theirs. They jumped in from the roof.
     
  12. Jahhar quickly raced to the door. He sliced off its hinges and ran into the train car. He started running as quickly as he could, pummeling through dozens of troops, smashing through anything that got in his way. He made his way towards the front train car, stopped, and looked around. Surviving troops lined up behind him. Jahhar quickly pulled out his katana and sliced of the connector of the front of the train and the other section of the train all the troops were in. The front car, which Jahhar was in, raced away from the rest of the train. Jahhar put his sun katana away and again, looked around in the train car. "Where is the weapon?" asked Jahhar to himself.
    OOC: how big exactly is the weapon? could it be in a small box?
     
  13. <span style='width:100%;font-weight:bold; font-size:10px'>Out of Character</span>
    <table class=ooc><tr><td>Quite big, it resembles a cannon that is equipped to the mechanical part of either Jahhar's or X-7's arm, it was created to be used by cyborgs. It's a sound based weapons system, It fits comfortably on X-7's arm, so it would be a tiny bit big for Jahhar to use effectively, but he can still equip it and cause havoc. It is currently contained within an energy field guarded by several autoguns at the front of the car. Destroy the auto guns and find a way to destroy the energy field and the weapon is yours. Lol, my overcreativness right now is killing my brain... :huh: </td></tr></table>



    X-7 knew his chances of taking them down in the state he was in was 1 in Two hundred million. He couldn't risk detaching the train car, it might set some type of trap off, triggered by the unknown power system in the train. The Walker were almost to him now, somehow having enough ammo to pin him down all this time. He waited until they were in the enxt compartment, and then he sprung, executing three clean cuts on the windshield of his right hand walker. A perfect triangle slid out to land with a dull thud on the train car's floor. X-7 grinned, and ripped the pilot out by the scruff of his neck, and threw him against the wall with bone shattering force. He then swung himself inside the walker, and turned it's gatling guns on it's ally, shattering the walker's windshield after a few short moments and splattering the pilots blood, organs and fragments of bone all over the cockpit. X-7 hit the top button on one of the joysticks and watched his missile soar towards the already crippled walker and explode with an incredibly force, making the whole train shake, and sending the walker's remains staggering against the reinforced adamantium wall of the train car. The wall couldn't take the weight, and it collapsed, ripping a hole in the armor and letting the flaming wreckage fall into the wheels of the train. The wheels jammed up and squealed as they start to glow red hot from the friction. X-7 then felt a second shake, not from his actions, but from the front of the train, and noticed how it started to slow down. He spun the walker around, knowing he could make further use of it, and charged ahead to the front of the train, using the walkers small mechanical arms to hit the manual release for each of the train cars as he went. Each train car slowly got left behind, giving the train longer time to slow down. He reached the end where Jahhar had detatched the train, realising what the second shake was, and put the walkers massive hydraulics to leaping the growing gap. The walker made it, but only barely, it's steel foot pads scraping along as it landed, sending a shower of sparks everywhere. X-7 pushed his walker ahead again just in time to slide it in front of Jahhar, saving him from the autoguns that began pouring a mix of bullets and energy blasts his way. X-7 jumped out of the walker's cockpit just before the windshield shattered from the fire, and came to crouch behind the walkers other leg, which was quickly being eaten away by the autoguns relentless attack. <span style='color:blue'>Jahhar! Try to get that energy shield offline! I'll distract the autoguns!</span> He shouted, before running out of cover, drawing all the fire in the room towards him, and activating his powerful magnets on the soles of his own foot pads. He began sprinting around the train car in a circle, moving slowly towards the guns in an evasive move so dangerous, that if he was slow enough to be hit anywhere near his feet, he would fall, and be savagely destroyed by the autoguns. He put that thought out of his mind as he spiralled forwards. He activated his wrist blades, and set about slashing apart all the autoguns that suddenly deployed on the walls and ceiling in his path. He would be to close to do anything soon, he would be in the thick of the fire and they wouldn't be sure to miss from point blank...
     
  14. Temrin growled as the walker made its way past her. She disapeared from her spot just as the walker exploded with great force. She apeared at the door to the outside of the detatched train. She turned to watch the other backs as they tryed to get at the weapon.

    <span style='color:black'>Hurry up and get that damn weapon! </span>

    <span style='color:black'>-i've got a really bad feeling...-</span>

    Her feeling was right as the far wall from a small compartment that separated the very front car from the one they were in. Security drones walked in and started gunning down everything in the room.
     
  15. Jahhar looked around. He quickly formed a plan. He cut a hole on the bottom of the train and climbed down it. He grabbed the bottom of the train and started climing on the underside. He held on for dear life as he could feel the railway underneath him brush up against his fur. He crawled to where he calculated the weapon was. He somehow managed to use his fangs to cut a very rugged hole. Then he climbed up the hole very carefully with much struggle. When he got out of the hole, he was inside of the forcefield with the weapon. Jahhar grabbed the weapon and equipped it along his arm. He supported the arm with the cannon on it with his other arm, stood back, and fired at the force field. He fired at it once and it overloaded and shut down.
    "X-7, I have the weapon, take it quick!"
     
  16. X-7 saw his plan as he ran towards him, but saw the several autoguns nearby turning to fire at him. Now that he had less attention, he was able to jump down and let his vulcan assemble on his right shoulder and his missile launcher pop out of his left. He also drew or activated every single one of his weapons possible. He was soon up and firing towards the force field, and the entire car was sparking and holes were being made as he unleashed his deadly salvo. A few minutes passed and his vulcan finally slowed to a stop. Jahar was left standing in the middle of a warzone of explosion blasts, vulcan fire leftovers, and the scattered remains of autguns. He walked up to Jahhar, his weaponry dissasembling and being put away. <span style='color:blue'>You hold on to it kid...</span> X-7 said, although in reality he was barely a year old himself. <span style='color:blue'>I have enough firepower. Now lets find Temrin and get the hell out of here.</span> He walked over to the wall, holes revealing the passing snowdrifts running by at high speeds, and set a small device on the wall. He did this several more times, and then placed one on the door to the engineers room, fully automated. <span style='color:blue'>You disabled whatever the hell that energy was... But I still can't lock onto the rest of the train to use my jump pack. Can you fly?</span> He asked Jahhar, but then had a thought. He walked over to the wall, and carefully not to vibrate the wall hard, he ripped off a plate of adamantium and then several smaller pieces of steel. He produced a welder from his wrist and after a few minutes, a strange, sled type device sat on the train car floor, close to the ripped apart cargo door, now open. X-7 tied a length of cable he took from the corner, and tied it around his waist, then tied the other end to the handlebars on the sledlike device. He then kicked the sled out the door and fired up his jetpack. He leaped out the door, and began pulling the sled at a speed to match the train's in the snow beside the car. <span style='color:blue'>Get On Jahhar! No time to lose!</span> He shouted, and slowly started to lose speed, unable to keep up the high speed for long...
     
  17. Temrin had jumped to the top of the car. Watching out for the random fireings from the inside. She hopped down from the top of the car. Her wings apeared as she flew at a fast speed to meet with X-7.

    <span style='color:black'>I see you had fun blowing up the entire car...</span>

    she chuckled and shook her head.

    <span style='color:black'>I had to avoid getting shot from the roof.</span>

    She laughed and saw Jahhar inside.

    <span style='color:black'>Alright! Yeah! Jump Jahhar!</span>

    She smiled. Finaly! the mission was complete... well, not completely... they had to reach the base without getting killed. Hopefully no trouble would come their way...
     
  18. Jahhar leapt onto the sled like structure and slid across the ice. He felt the air blowing through his fur. He waited on it carefully as X-7 pulled him back to the other train.
     
  19. X-7 didn't like what he saw when he looked back. Three Hovercopters, white and blue in coloration, where chasing him and Jahhar down in formation.

    <span style='color:green'>Computer Online, strange energy signals distorted. Attention, three Military class MK-50 Hovercopters are in pursuit, Radio signals hacked, they plan to retake their weapon along with one Prototype X-7. Serial Code reformatted to 0001, at current rate of speed, they will be within firing range in less than 20 minutes. Options list?</span>

    <span style='color:blue'>Tell me something I don't know... Yes, but wait until I warn Jahhar.</span> X-7 grumbled, and then looked down to Jahhar. <span style='color:blue'>Jahhar!, 3 'copters coming this way! Brace yourself against the handlebars and take them out if you can!</span>

    <span style='color:green'>Options list as requested. 14 minutes and 46 seconds untill Hovercopters within firing range.

    1.Destroy Pursuing MK-20 Hovercopters yourself without stopping.

    2.Continue to meeting point, ignoring the Hovercopters.

    3.Stop and let Jahhar engage the Hovercopters.

    4.Continue current trajectory, but depend on Jahhar to destroy pursuing Hovercopters.

    5.Attempt to meet up with Temrin.

    Further options?</span>

    <span style='color:blue'>No further options, select in order, 4, 5, and the first part of 2. Confirm.</span>

    <span style='color:green'>Confirm, objectives set. Would you like me to assist Jahhar as well while you fufill other objectives?</span>

    <span style='color:blue'>Please, but use non explosive weaponry, I don't want to risk injuring Jahhar.</span>

    <span style='color:green'>Confirmed.</span>

    X-7 kicked up the pace a notch, acknowledging that his computer side had assembled his vulcan pointing backwards. The chances of crippling the 'Copters were critically low that way, but not only would explosives be easily countered, but Jahhar might get caught in a misfire or deflected shot, the chances were too high. His computer side started up the vulcan, but then assembled the nuclear/thermal/electrical cannon on his left side facing backwards. It wasn't technically an explosive, but it was still too dangerous. X-7 tried to tell his computer side to shut it down, but only recieved the reply;

    <span style='color:green'>Access Denied, Self preservation protocols engaged.</span>

    X-7 was worried now, but couldn't risk doing a manual override right now, all he could do was shout to Jahhar a warning.

    <span style='color:blue'>JAHHAR! MY COMPUTER SIDE IS MALFUNCTIONING, WATCH OUT FOR RANDOM FIRE! CONCENTRATE ON HOLDING ON RATHER THAN USING THAT NEW WEAPON!</span>

    This was going to be one hell of a ride...
     
  20. OOC: um okay.. temrin is right with you... shes like.. flying with you... and she WAS talking to you....
