  1. X-7 didn't waste any time. He couldn't hack the terminal keeping the screen online within five seconds, so he jammed his fists through either side of the doorframe, and ripped the screen out of the way. He threw the still active force field, plus the doorframe attached to it, at the creature. He rushed forwards and used the screen to hold the creature back. <span style='color:blue'>See what I mean?</span> he grunted, as the beast struggled to get through and eat his organic parts. <span style='color:blue'>Go! tell Temrin to steal anything! I'll join up with you in a sec, although I can't use telepathy due to my machinery and computer side, I have been listening in to all military frequencies and it seems these things are part of an experiment. The military is currently trying to isolate them in the lower labratories, so you shouldn't have much trouble reaching the hangar, but the military units are fading fast, several breaches have been registered, and central command is ordering a retreat, so MOVE! I'll deal with this one, and catch up with you later. If all else fails, I'll use my jetpack or Jump pack to get back to headquarters...</span> He wheezed this surprisingly fast, before grunting and shoving the screen into the creature, and forcing it back into the large storage area it broke through from. He exchanged blows with the creature, noting his new strength and durability due to the scientists modifications, and his computer side had read his thoughts somehow and was already activating various weapons systems to help him fight the creature. Soon it was a quivering mass of rotting and mutating flesh, and X-7 turned back to enter the hole the creature had made. Before he could reach it however, there was a groan, and a ton of steel collapsed from above to cover the hole completely. He snarled, and began tracing a path through the base, his only path to the hangars being through the lower levels...
     
  2. Temrin nodded to jahhar mentaly and crawled up to the hanger once again. She saw they had placed gaurds around the hanger. She sniggered and disapeared. She apeared behind one gaurd and killed him instantly. She disapeared once again and apeared ontop of the 'copter. She sent blasts of dark energy at the poor souls acting as security. Their sceems weren't heard as the darkness strangled them. Their wriggling bodies hit the floor. She sniggered and perked her ears as she heard yells coming from behind the security door, heading inside.
     
  3. Jahhar ran hastily to the hangar where he knew Temrin was. He spotted Temrin demolishing the guards. He glanced around and heard the yells behind the security door. "Quick Temrin! get any ship started up and then lets get X-7 and get out of here! I'll help you!" shouted Jahhar over the growing noises behind the door. The door banged open and 10 heavily armored guards stormed in. "NOBODY MOVE!" shouted the head guard. Jahhar moved his hands and activated a smoke bomb on his belt to blow up in 10 seconds. Jahhar put his hands up and walked over to the guards. "YOU TO-" started the head guard, but was cut off as the smoke bomb blew up and smoke flew everywhere. Jahhar quickly sprung away from the group of guards and ran towards the ship. "Quick Temrin, get in!" Shouted Jahhar hastily as he sat down in a seat. He activated the guns mounted on the plane-like ship and started gunning down the security guards.
     
  4. The creatures were everywhere... He was forced to just plow through them, because he knew he would never have enough ammo in the world to take them all down. He ran through security checkpoints, followed by hordes of the creatures on his way down the levels. He knew he was spelling instant doom for the checkpoints, as was confirmed when he heard the death screams of the unfortunate soldiers. He reached the halfway point, and started to work his way back up, when he was cornered in a large room on the ege of the cliff, with a window spanning the wall facing the cliff. He hacked away at the creatures, hoping to gain some ground, but was soon bogged down as the creatures closed in on him, backed by even stronger mutations. He finally had his back to the glass, his dual vulcans running full tilt and his Echo Guns going as fast as they could. The creatures kept coming, they were gaining ground faster than he could fire...

    <table class=ooc><tr><td>Sorry for the crappy post, I'm rushed for time... >.<</td></tr></table>
     
  5. Temrin looked around to make sure nothing was in-between her and the ship, or would be. she nodded to Jahhar and rushed to the 'copter.

    <span style='color:black'>Wheres X-7?</span>

    The frown on her face turned to a growl as a armed gaurd smashed the 'copter window and tryed stabing at her. She growled feircly and kicked him int he face, breaking his nose. She caught his old machne gun. She looked at it and shook her head at keeping such an old tool. She brased her foot behind her and her other foot on the door. The rappid fireing hit all the targets in view. The force hurt her hands after a few minutes of rapid shooting. She turned to JAhhar,

    <span style='color:black'>X-7 beter get here quick damnit!
    </span>


    She heard foot steps and turned around. She started shooting once again.
     
  6. "We'll get X-7, after we get out of here." said Jahhar pulling the copter up. He turned it towards the bay doors and fired the main guns to blow open the bay doors. He flew the copter out of the base. Then he spun it back around, facing the bay door. He fire a few missles before turning the copter back around. "Get a safety belt on Temrin!" shouted Jahhar over the explosion. Now they had secured a copter, but where was X-7? Jahhar needed to find him and pick him up before returning to base.
     
  7. They pressed in, trying to get a grip on hiss smooth armor with their toxic mutated hands and claws. He continued to struggle, but could see it as a lost cause, they were going to kill him. Several had bitten him on several organic openings and the flesh there squirmed and twisted as it started to mutate itself. Only his antitoxins injected by his revamped computer side kept him from changing into a stronger metal version of those freaks. He struggled harder, thrashing about, and maybe that was what saved him. The bulletproof glass caught on his right wrist blade, and the entire structure was weakened considerably because of a near invisible line where the blade had bitten right through. The entire window shattered, sending X-7, and almost a hundred of the creatures into a freefall outside towards the forest below. X-7 fired up his jet pack, and smirked at the creatures as they slammed into the treetops far below, being torn up to a point where even THEY couldn't come back to haunt him. He noticed a Hovercopter flying above. <span style='color:blue'>Thats not a standard military flight path...</span> He muttered and a quick scan showed him he was correct in assuming Jahhar and Temrin were piloting it. He flew upwards, and yanked the side cargo door open amidst a flurry of wind and snow. After landing safely inside he checked his wounds, and finding them alright, and the antitoxins working correctly to cancel out the mutation, he relaxed and strapped himself into a seat behind Jahhar and Temrin. <span style='color:blue'>Have fun?</span> He asked, and he started chuckling to himself. <span style='color:blue'>We've got three copies of the prototype weapon, we've discovered a new military biological weapon, and aided the new biological weapon in causing havoc in a secret military research station. I'd think that the whole thing turned out pretty nicely... Despite the fact that the train was a trap...</span>
     
  8. Temrin looked back at X-7 once he was seated and buckled. She took the belt and strapped herself in.

    <span style='color:black'>Yes... fun... </span>

    She smirked back at X-7 and flipped her hair to one side out of habit. She sat back with the gun held to her chest, enclosed in her tight grasp.

    <span style='color:black'>Anything following us Jahhar?</span>

    She asked, hoping not.
     
  9. Jahhar smiled and glanced at the radar, "negative, let's take this puppy home." He set a coarse for the Nyone Mountain Range, then sat back in his seat. "X-7, what happened to you back there?"
     
  10. X-7 pondered what DID happen. <span style='color:blue'>After I was trapped behind that rubble I made my way through the lower levels, trying to follow a route back up to the hangars. Those creatures were everywhere, and the military was having the time of their lives trying to fight them off. I led more than a few groups of the things into military checpoints where the soldiers died and mutated into even more of those things. I was trapped in a wall with a bulletproof window and tryed to fight them off, but they got me more than once. I have no idea why I didn't mutate, but I bet it has something to do with what those damn scientists did when they revamped me, giving me this black armor... When I got into close combat, I accidentally hit the window with an energized wrist blade and shattered the window, letting me fly into this 'copter. And here I am. But I'm suspicious about what was going on there. I know that was where I was created, but I don't know whats going to happen to the base now that those creatures have taken over. We should inform Revol as soon as we get back of the train trap and the base...</span> He paused, thinking everything over, and then his computer registered the mutations.

    <span style='color:green'>Unknown substance and genetic code located.

    Substance is similar to samples taken from the parasite before removal, but it also bears resemblance to the attacking creatures. Genetic code is being rearranged even now. Antitoxins proved effective at first, but the genetic code is evolving at a phenominal rate. Immediate medical attention required before Prototype X-7 substructure is compromised and changed. Mechanic components unaffected, countermeasures are already active, you will lose control over your organic components in anywhere up to 25 hours...</span>
     
  11. Temrin sighed in relief that no one was following. hopefully it would be a nice quite trip home... but she knew that that probably wasn't the case... The base had become her home away from home. She'd leave her "Cave" of a home for a while, leaving rluknyym worried about her even though she left notes saying she would be away. She hoped he was fareing well at home. She would get to the base, report and then go home.

    She realised that X-7 was unusually silent. She turned to him and saw him off in thought.

    <span style='color:black'>I know it's probably none of my business... But your being a little too quite. Something happen in there X-7?</span>

    She said turning back to face the front. She leaned her sword against her seat on the inside.
     
  12. Jahhar gave X-7 an odd look and scanned him over. He read the statistics about X-7's new problem. A grim expression appeared on Jahhar's face. He wasn't sure what he could do. Biology was never a subject he aced. He doubt he could do any surgery to help anybody suffering from an odd mutation, much less a robot and oragnic hybrid. Of course, he did know someone who could control organic matter quite well, Revol. But he was back at base. How long would the trip home be? Under 25 hours? "How long is the trip home computer?" asked Jahhar to the computer in the copter.
    "The trip to Nyone (SP?) Mountain Range will be approximately 10 hours."
    Jahhar gave a sigh of relief. X-7 would be fine...
    Suddenly, the copter gave a jump as something hit it. Jahhar quickly looked out the back of the copter using his X-ray vision. He saw a black hovercopter.
    "Warning, primary engine destroyed. Secondary engine damaged. Tertiary engine unharmed. New time to destination, 26 hours." chimed the voice of the computer. Another voice spoke.
    "This is Eucrypt 02. We have located the stolen experiment on your hovercopter. Please bring your copter to a stop and land it for further interrogation and the recovery of Prototype X-7."
    Jahhar growled at the intruder. "Temrin, keep an eye on the controls to this contraption. I'm going to the rear gun nest to try to shoot that hovercopter down. X-7, try to contact Revol if you can, maybe he has a solution to the mess you are in... the mess we are in."
    Jahhar walked to the back of the hovercopter and got inside of a door. He strapped himself into the gun nest seat. He loaded a clip into the main gun and took careful aim to shoot the copter behind them out of the sky.
     
  13. X-7 totally ignored Jahhar and after yanking the side door open, leaped out, and began flying towards the enemy at supersonic speeds. He was just about to rip through the 'copter when something inside him moved. He was jolted and a large spike of bone jutted from his elbow, doing the job of taking down the helicopter, but also catching on the ripped up hulk. The hovercopter dropped altitude dramatically, and only a shot from his massive nuclear powered cannon ripped the bone spike free from where it was jammed near the cockpit window. He felt things moving around inside him, and then everything turned black. The 'copter smashed to the ground, and a glint of metal could be seen, landing softly not too far from the crash site...

    <span style='color:green'>Systems check.........

    Systems functional, Propulsion systems offline, Nuclear cannon offline, left wrist blade jammed, x-ray vision offline, all other systems fully operational. Mutations have gone along an unexpected genetic code, bone appendages now appearing frequently, mental link between these anomalies and current brain waves follow the same path... In current state, bone spikes will continue to appear and dissappear randomly, antitoxins effective, major mutations stopped, Recomend finding Jahhar and Temrin and returning to base for examination by one of the core members of "The Lost"...
    </span>
     
  14. Temrin cursed and jumped to jahhars old seat. The copter had lost control for a second. she took ahold of the controls and jeered it back to its previous position in the sky.

    <span style='color:black'>Sure... leave me all alone in a copter... Oh well... if we veer off course.. it's not my fault. I've only watched people drive these things... I'm a fighter not a driver!</span>

    She mumbled to herself.
     
  15. Jahhar saw X-7 hit the ground. "I'm not much of a skydiver..." he mumbled to himself. He got out of the machine gun nest and walked over to Temrin. "I'm heading down to get X-7. If you could try to land the copter by X-7, that would be good as well. Unless of course you want to go get him and let me drive." Jahhar paused and waited for Temrin's answer.
     
  16. She smirked at him and shook her head.

    <span style='color:black'>I'm fine thanks... I'll try and land somewhere close... I'll keep in touch.</span>

    She said pointing to her head. She shooed him away so she could drive. She called after him,

    <span style='color:black'>DON'T GET YOURSELF KILLED OUT THERE!</span>
     
  17. Jahhar smiled and put on a parachute. He jumped out of the copter and dived towards the place where X-7 and the other copter had hit the ground. He hit a button on the parachute and is srpung open. Jahhar landed lightly on the ground 50 feet away from the crash site. He walked towards it carefully. Jahhar spotted X-7 somewhat quickly. He knelt down beside him. "X-7, are you there?"
     
  18. X-7 finished reading his computer's message and opened his left eye. His first reaction was to grin. <span style='color:blue'>Jahhar, besides a few minor malfunctions with my robotic systems, from one cyborg to another, I've never felt better.</span> He got up, and flexed his arms. Then he meerly thought it, and like his weapons, a large bone spike protruded from his elbow, dripping a yellowish green fluid. <span style='color:blue'>I am now a sentient carrier of the genetic code inside those things...</span> X-7 muttered, and then with another thought, the bone spike retracted into his elbow, and the flesh healed over it, making it seem as if the mutation never happened. X-7 straightened up, and after prying at it for a short while, his left wristblade sprang out and energized. <span style='color:blue'>Well, thats one of the minor problems I have to fix. Come on, we have to make a quick stop in Bhim.</span>

    <span style='width:100%;font-weight:bold; font-size:10px'>Out of Character</span>
    <table class=ooc><tr><td>I'm trying to set up the timeline so this goes well with my S.O.B. thingy with X-7. You guys can maybe start an rp in the black market, and then we can start another one afterwards? Then I'd really like to take "The Lost" and the Teslo feud thingy and get involved more with the thingy in Bhim. Ready? Get set. Post! This'll be so much fun! ^^ :D :P </td></tr></table>
     
  19. OOC: Okay... that didn't make any sence to me what so ever! LOL!

    BIC:

    Temrin searched for a place to land. It took awhile but she finally found a small clearing, just big enough to fit the 'copter.

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

    She landed the 'copter and opened the door. She stepped out from the mech and felt around with her mind, the link to JAhhars'... She felt their minds come together suddenly...

    <span style='color:black'>Did you get X-7? Is he alright? Anyway, I've landed the 'copter... In a clearing... just west of you guys... Should only take you about 10 to 20 minutes to get here... if you hurry it may take less.</span>
     
  20. Jahhar nodded, he was slightly unnerved that X-7 was fine after such a strange ordeal. He didn't worry about it though. Nobody knew X-7 better than X-7...
    Jahhar replied to Temrin, "Ok, I'll be there as soon as possible, I need to make a call to Revol about the current events that happened." Jahhar ran to the hovercopter. He got in and sat down in a seat. He opened up a link with Revol.
    "Revol, this is Jahhar reporting the events that occured. Our mission was a success but we were delayed due to the fact that the train was a trap. X-7 was captured and a virus and parasite where implanted in him. Due to a series of events, he was freed from both ailments. I was temporarily captured, but after I was freed by X-7, we were split apart. I met up with Temrin, we captured an enemy hoverjet and found X-7 again. We recovered him. We were heavily damaged by an enemy hoverjet, but X-7 destroyed it. During the time when X-7 wasn't with us, he caught a strange mutation virus. He He now has the ability to force bone spikes out of him. I'm not sure if that is a good thing or a bad thing. X-7 destroyed the enemy hoverjet. Everyone is safe. I will use the teleportation device on the hoverjet to warp the weapon we stole back to 'The Lost' HQ in Nyone. X-7 wants to make a quick trip to Bhim as well. I have one final comment to make and that is that every enemy who tried to negotiate with me during the mission mistook me for a Teslo. Do you have any information on the Teslos, and do you have any theories on all these dragon's misconceptions?" Jahhar finished and waited for a response from Revol.
