				These are the locations that are outside of the influence of the DPDS.&nbsp; They are considered neutral territories and much about them in unknown or rarely explored.&nbsp; Massive wreckage and aftermath of the incident of 2008 still remains standing after all these years.<br><br>Outworld, that is the name given to the wasteland that was once the beautiful planet Earth.&nbsp; Everything has been desolated and destroyed beyond years of repair. The buildings half crumbled from the invasions warfare as well as the time spent unmaintained stand like ominous shadows of the years before this time.&nbsp; A constant reminder of what the people of earth were fighting for, as well as objects of the creatures of the abyss ever growing hate.&nbsp; Scattered throughout the wreckage and the debris are small civilizations much like oasis in the deserts, clinging to the small hope of survival in a world of violence and carnage that they have no defense for but hope and prayer.&nbsp; The nights are filled with the screams of those lost to the Army of the Abyss, as well as the sounds of resistance from those foolish or brave enough to stand against them.&nbsp; This place, called the Outworld is a ghost world and the battlegrounds for which all of Mankind will be fought for.

				High upon a large cliff overhanging the Atlantic ocean water below, sat a young looking woman, at the oldest she looked to be 21. Dark ebony waves of hair framed her lightly tanned face, her lips were a pale but enchanting pink, lacking the usual lipstick women loved to smother themselves with, she had a more natural beauty about her.<br><br>Luminescent sapphire eyes peered out over the ocean, long dark lashes fluttering to kiss her high cheek bones. She wore pure white sleaveless sundress that reached just above her knee's, showing off her well tonned, silky smooth, lightly tanned legs.<br><br>The woman closed her eyes as she leaned back, her legs hanging over the cliffs edge, kicking lightly as she leaned back on her hands, humming softly to herself. It was a soft melody, if not a bit enchanting, anyone who would hear it would be instantly drawn to her, finding the sound irresistable.

				Three massive Skyranger jets flew over the ruins of London, coming to a set of clearings amidst the rubble.&nbsp; Heavily armed and armored marines spilled out of the front of the planes as their hatches opened, followed swiftly by Frankie, the undead lord of alchemy.&nbsp; Frankie shielded his larger eye from the sun as he set the buggy down, watching the Paladin IFV follow out of the plane.&nbsp; The Paladin was a powerful vehicle, reliant on tyres for its movement, but featuring a deadly B.E.F. 3890 Minigun mounted in its turret, giving it incredible firepower.&nbsp; To the uninitiated, concentrated fire from the Paladin looked more like a death ray than any sort of firearm, and even an experienced observer would have trouble shaking the impression.<br><br>A number of bedraggled looking survivors greeted Frankie as he sent the marines to deliver needed supplies to the base.&nbsp; He decided to watch the Marines for a few minutes to make sure nothing was going horribly wrong, as he revved up the buggy's engine and looked down a ruined stretch of highway.&nbsp; It would be a fair distance to his destination, but supposedly the buggy was fast.&nbsp;

				Kyle stepped off the Skyranger's boarding ramp, his B.E.F. 4420 held in one hand. He'd opted for the larger ammunition drum for this mission, which was currently slung by a single strap over his shoulder, causing it to hang at an angle. The way he moved one might almost have thought it was simply an empty tin can, instead of a steel drum weighing close to 300 kilos. He used his free hand to remove a pair of midnight blue sunglasses from his breast pocket, fitting them to his face. They were really a combination scope and targeting device that interfaced with his nano-machine network, but he'd seen no reason they didn't need to look good too. He took a moment to check that his suit was properly activated and linked to his network as well. It deployed much in the same way that his armored fists did, but he normally left it retacted as it hampered his reflexes slightly. <br><br>Looking around at the barren wastes, he snorted. "This is what we're protecting? Why'd I even get out of bed today." He scanned around for Ghost, not seeing her immediatly. "At least I'll get some time to chat with my new partner while we're busy sitting around."

				Frankie turned to Train and patted him on the shoulder.&nbsp; "We're keeping the London base camp from getting overrun.&nbsp; With a population of 10,000, it's the largest remaining human settlement on earth.&nbsp; It may not be much to look at, but it's all there is left to look at.&nbsp; Go ahead and keep this perimeter secure while I head out and investigate that energy anomaly.&nbsp; You'll have plenty of time to talk with ghost while on patrol."&nbsp; Frankie threw his bulk in the opposite direction and mounted his scout buggy, throttling it to high speed as he headed down the freeway, tracking the energy signature by memory rather than any fancy technological gadget which might be jammed by all the supernatural activity in the city.&nbsp; The open road was exhilarating, the wind in your face, potholes trying to break your butt while they fling your buggy into the air and over a cliff, and the occasional mutated animal coming out to breathe fire or fart lightning at you.&nbsp; It was a thrilling ride indeed.

				"Yeah yeah, sure." He jumped up on top of the paladin, sitting down atop the turret. He lazily scanned the surrounding area, not seeing anything beyond the usual rubble piles, a few scatterings of refugees and the occasional wild animal. He kept a tracker on the animals he saw, if they ended up getting to close to the civilians they'd turn into a threat. "Nothin to report." He said to no one in particular, leaning back against the tank and closing his eyes. His tracker would notify him if anything of note occurred.

				The woman hummed softly, moving to lay on her side as she let her hand dangle over the cliff, her fingers flexing as though she were threading them through some invisible force, pulling at invisible strands.<br><br>Her opalescent eyes slowly fluttered open to stare out across the ocean from her spot on the english coast. Slowly a smirk played across her pale pink lips as magic spiked around her and her humming became louder.

				Dorian lifted a small scrap of parchment from the rubble. Its edges frayed and charred. Printed along the top in bold cursive was an ad for the London Opera. With a snort of disgust, the immortal allowed the the remnant of the past to fly from his grasp. The wind carried it into the broken facades of the city. 'Bloody <em>waste.</em>' His contempt for the mortals was almost as great as his growing hatred for the animals who owned him.<br><br>As he wandered the ruins that was once the center of the known world, he allowed himself to remember. <em>'There. That was once the library.</em>' A flicker of a grin played across his features. <em>'So many nights I spent in that park. Watching the librarian as she locked up the building.'</em> A small overgrown patch of weeds was all that was left of the once grand garden park. He savored the memory of how she had fallen into his web. <em>'She was so pure then. Not so after a few nights in my company.</em>' He chuckled.<br><br>Lost in his thought he did not see the rusty bit of iron re-bar sticking out of a slab of concrete. A traitorous stone shifted below him as he picked his way through the rubble. With a gasp he felt the cold metal pierce his flesh as he tumbled forward. "Damn!" Cursing he looked down at his knee. The bloody iron thrusting out from his leg like some strange third leg.He gasped as he pulled his limb away off of the metal. "Ruined a perfectly good set of slacks. Getting careless Dorian." As he spoke the bleeding slowed and then stopped. <br><br>Off in the distance a low rumble of an engine echoed through the canyons of the city.

				Frankie drove through the urban wastes, slowing down as he noticed a singular figure standing in the broken ruins of the city.&nbsp; He was dangerously close to the energy signature, but there was no way of telling whether or not that was his particular errand.&nbsp; Frankie came to a stop not far from the solitary figure, hopping up and out of the scout buggy.&nbsp; "Are you legend sir?"&nbsp; Frankie asked, not sure if he was reciting the password of a long destroyed intelligence agency or just trying to put the figure off balance.<br><br>"You look very familiar... Yes, the eastern front, world war 2... You look just like one of the German generals.&nbsp; Funny how those things work.&nbsp; Go around for four hundred years and you're bound to meet two people who look alike.&nbsp; That general though, I'll remember him forever, he fought with a knife like a tiger, and in the end I had to throw him in front of a train.&nbsp; The look in his eyes, that's what you have, that defiant world weary look that never left his face even as the wheels of the train ground him into dust."&nbsp; Frankie snickered a little bit, wondering if he had done enough to establish himself as a crazy monster and get the poor fool running the other way.

				Becoming bored, the woman went silent, going still as she stared out across the ocean for but a moment before rolling over and moving to a stand. Brushing her self off, she murred softly before glancing up to the sky, her opalescent eyes dancing lightly in the sunlight, like a fire burning with intensity. Yet her eyes were not with passion, at least not in a loving manor. Her eyes shown in contempt as she looked at the sun, glowering slightly as it showered the world in light.<br><br>"It's to bright out here, lower the lighting will ya?" she grumbled at the sun, knowing all to well that it wasn't listening, nor would it complete her request.<br><br>Shaking her head slightly, an Ornery look passed over her face. "Well, lets see the city then." she purred as she made her way towards it, seemingly in no real hurry, a large blade appearing at her left hip, tied to her waist by a black leather belt.

				Dorian watched the behemoth exit the small dune buggy. He almost sighed when he saw this figure from his past, <em>'the creature who had fought for the Allies?!</em>' He mentally cursed the fickle threads of fate. <br><br>His memories drug him back to 1943. He was an adviser to the Fuhrer, then he had been known as Willhiem Wullf. He remembered the embarrassment of having to pull his scattered dust and fragments back together afterwards.<br><br>That gullible fool Himmler had granted him the honorary title of general then. Granted him access to the Vatican's libraries where he had discovered the location of the Spear of Wotan. It had almost been in his grasp when the Allies had launched their offensive. He remembered the full moon a top the castle turrets in the countryside. He had took comfort in the poor weather and believed no invasion would be possible for several days. That fool Himmler even had some troops stand down, and many of his senior officers were absent. He had watched as the night sky had lit up with a million fireflies. When that small battalion had come like thieves in the night, stealing his prize from his gasp.<br><br>Shaking away the haze of time, Dorian smirked. "<strong>Well I get that alot</strong>." He looked over the creature that had caused him such trouble then. It had not changed much over the decades, its skin still looked like dried leather. He remembered how resistant it had been to either bullet or blade, but these were different times. He doubted a straight forward attack would be necessary, when deception would work far better. He was quickly becoming glad that he had bloodied his outfit with his little accident now.<br><br><strong>"I am Major James Asher, Sir. I am a member of Her Majesty's Special Air Service. You a Yank?" </strong> He slipped easily into a London accent. <strong>"Had a bit of a scrape here myself," </strong> he points down at his bloody pant leg. <strong>"Don't suppose you have a first aid kit handy in that buggy of yours do you? I can wrap it up myself, but I'm afraid I was separated from my patrol."</strong><br>

				Frankie looked at "Major Asher" with concern, getting out of the buggy and carefully strapping Tesla's generator to his back.&nbsp; He carefully flicked the first switch on the pack, getting the generator ready to activate.&nbsp; A tiny green light flickered on the side of the wooden and metal device, indicating that a charge was building up.&nbsp; Frankie pulled a small white box with a red cross on it from the buggy without looking away from the so called Major, walking slowly towards him.&nbsp; "Yes, I can help treat your wounds.&nbsp; One little thing that's bugging me though, the British special air service were disbanded into the DPDS twenty years ago.&nbsp; How long have you been separated from your patrol again?"<br><br>Frankie asked the question with a smirk. carefully pulling himself into a defensive posture should the man go and strike him.&nbsp; He wasn't so worried about his body, but keeping the Smithsonian special collection happy might just cost him an arm and a leg.&nbsp; At any rate, very few creatures survived being exposed to thirty million volts.&nbsp; If Frankie could keep the figure talking for just a few more minutes, he'd soon be able to figure out just what sort of being goes and intentionally wrecks his own leg.&nbsp; A tense feeling passed through the air as the generator crackled with electricity, and a yellow light began to blink on its side.

				Ghost's large eyes scanned out across the plains they were stationed to scout and protect, her small frame barely reaching Kyle's chest as she stood beside him with that silent shy air about her that seemed to hold no indication of the powers she held. "So .... you are stuck with me?" she whispered to him in the hushed tone someone would use in a library her eyes seeming to follow the giant also known as Frankie before she looked back across the empty lands. Her hands trembled with nerves as she began to ring them through the belly shirt she was wearing stretching the earth toned fabric "Think we should move out? I don't see anything here...." she was antsy and needed to do something not to mention the fact she was starting to doubt her reasons for being here, all the rest seemed so calm and collective to her as if they knew this was what they wanted. Until coming to the brigade it was what she wanted to do, to help others the only way she knew how however seeing the men around her all tanked up in armor and weaponry compared to her single katana, it made her feel less then inadequate.

				Sayuri stepped past the outskirts of the town and was now making her way into the center. Blinking slightly, she watched the human interact, smiling, laughing and talking to one another, rushing about doing their daily menial chores. Shaking her head, she scowled at them. <em>'pests'</em> she thought with a slight mental hiss of distaste.<br><br>A few people gave her a passing glance, it was only normal. Most humans had a good perception, they just didn't really know what to make off it. She could feel the hairs on the back of their necks raise on end as her aura invisibly flexed around her body. Sadly, their looks all turned to curious ones. They didn't seem to know what exactly who she was, and that suited her just aswell. <br><br>A few random men gave her body approving glances, and all she could to was flash them flirtatious smiles and move on. She could sense all the different powers that radiated around this colony. Some honed and some still yet to awaken. Her sense's having been trained well, she could feel even the slightest aura fluctuation.<br><br>This is what caused her to stop and glance towards where she could feel Dorian and some other man. She knew it was a man because male aura's always seemed to flare around them a bit more wildly then a woman's, all the conflicting thoughts and emotions that seemed to pass through a man in every instant kept them on high alert.<br><br>But the man near Dorian, unknown to her, his name was Frankie. Further more, the power and confidence that radiated the man made her want to flock around him like a moth to a flame. But she had to hold back, she could feel the tension radiating around them, perhaps Dorian wasn't aware of it, but Frankie sure was worried about something. Thankfully she over heard the end of the conversation. James Asher, huh?<br><br>So the sweet good girl part of her flared forth and she placed a large smile across her face as she skipped towards the two men, her white cotton sun-dress flaring around her well toned thighs as the air caught the fabric.<br><br>"James! James! I can't believe you're back! We all thought you were dead!" She cried as she raced up to Dorian and wrapped both of her arms around his left one, clinging to him like any girl would. "It's so good to see you!" she added, before blinking and looking to Frankie. <br><br>"Oh dear, I'm so sorry, did I interrupt something?" She said, adding a flirtatious smile as she allowed her opalescent eyes to scan the other man's form with interest, hoping he'd catch it. "My, what a handsome man. My names Lara." She said with a large smile before squeaking and jumping to the side as she looked to Dorian's leg.<br><br>Glancing back up at him with concern written all over her face. "You're hurt! What happened? Don't tell me you still don't take care of your wounds properly?" She said with a disapproving frown.<br><br>"Well we had better get you cleaned up, come on then." she said as she started to push Dorian to sit done on some large random piece of rubble. Kneeling before him, she gently brushed her fingers over the man's leg. Slowly a silverly blue light seeped forth, wisping about like a mist before sinking into his skin. She knew that Dorian could heal himself, but what better to fool the other man, then by making him believe she was nothing more then a gentle healer.<br><br>Slowly the skin of Dorian's wound seemed to thread together, aswell as the muscle and any bone that had been broken or clipped, to reveal normal unmarred skin.&nbsp; Standing rather fast, she flashed them both a dazzling smile. "There!" she exclaimed before falling to the side slightly, her foot sliding to catch herself as she tripped on her feet slightly before catching her balance. That however was not an act.<br><br>Bringing her right hand up to her forehead, she shook her head slightly. "Wow, stood up a little to fast there." she said, smiling sheepishly as a blush stained her cheeks.

				Ghost/Kyle: <br><br>As if to make things a bit more interesting, business it seemed would be picking up.&nbsp; For across the horizon with the setting sun, a couple of forms would rise up as they came thundering over the next hill and down it.&nbsp; The shadowy forms were quite big with many small forms around them.&nbsp; If Kyle went to scout with his binoculars he would see four very large Juggernauts.&nbsp; <br><br>Juggernauts are demonic beasts of burden, slightly larger then a elephant with thick armorlike hide covering their joints and backside.&nbsp; Six sturdy tree trunk like legs powered the beast forward, while its beady red eyes scanned the lay of the land for someone to trample.&nbsp; But the most important part of the Juggernaut was the Rizer Cannon that sat upon its backside, slow to charge and fire, but when it does it is able to level square blocks to ash and send shrapnel flying in multiple directions.&nbsp; <br><br>Surrounding the Juggernauts were the Gobbers, or Goblins as a more proper term.&nbsp; Small wiry creatures that were armed to the teeth with small proto blasters, annoying little squirts that will corner you if your alone, but if your armed they take off running to find their squad before coming back.&nbsp; Pure cowards at heart but dint ever turn your back on them for one second.&nbsp; <br><br>Ghost's head would ring as if she was slapped upside the head from the inside out "oh quit your fucking whining, your better then this male creature, you can prove it easily.&nbsp; See show him your might against these renegades of the brood, maybe you can get him to let his guard down and we can have a real blood bath, muwhahahahahahahaah."&nbsp; The voice would cackle inside of Ghost's head. <br><br>Frankie/Sayuri/Dorian:<br><br>The conversation would be cut short as the panic would ensue from the approaching army of the damned.&nbsp; The men and women would make way running towards the safety bunkers, while some armed themselves with what they could find to try and protect their families.&nbsp; It was a vain effort by the looks of it, none of the weapons that they carried would be to stop or even hinder the Juggernauts from their approach on the perimeter.<br><br>

				Frankie looked over to the girl with a look of intense skepticism, shaking his head a bit as he watched her heal the old warrior. &nbsp;"So I take it you two have a prior relationship? &nbsp;There isn't much of a family resemblance." &nbsp;Frankie said, carefully moving his massive bulk so that he blocked the most obvious escape routes. &nbsp;The sun glinted off of the leather straps and buckle that held his flesh together, blending in seamlessly with the straps that held his humming generator on. &nbsp;The undead servitor wore no clothing, but he had nothing to hide, the space between his legs characterized by a complete lack of orifices. &nbsp;<br><br>Frankie's body cast a shadow over the pair as he looked at the young spellcaster, rapidly becoming more deeply suspicious by the second. &nbsp;"Where did you learn to use white magic like that? &nbsp;That wound would have taken weeks to heal in a hospital. &nbsp;If you were part of the DPDS, I would be of half a mind to recommend you for the hellfire brigade. &nbsp;Either way, I wonder what you're using your talents for." &nbsp;Frankie listened carefully to the device on his back, becoming more and more satisfied as the power flow stabilized, the yellow light on the machine blinking faster until it stayed on continuously.&nbsp; <br><br>Before the girl could respond to his questions, the marketplace became a scene of chaos, yet Frankie refused to turn around to confront the Juggernauts, preferring to figure out what was going on with the strange pair that had landed in his lap.

				The young woman tilted her head at the man curiously, blinking at him as if he were insane. "Huh?" She shook her head at him. "I didn't do anything special... and we're not family... my family is all dead.." she replied truthfully, allowing her head to bow as her dark ebony bangs hide her eyes, wether they were full of sorrow or not.<br><br>Bitting her bottom lip as though she was a bit nervous by this man's interrogation, she shivered and looked to the Juggernauts and couldn't help but smirk inwardly. It was to early to give themselves away, or they couldn't go through with their plans, they needed a good grasp of the city's inner workings before the invasion.<br><br>Keeping her head bowed, her hand moved slightly, her fingers curling around the hilt of the sword strapped to her waist. At first, Frankie might think she was about to attack him in order to cover herself, but most likely shocked him as she rushed past him towards the large creatures. After all, the death of a few fledgling monsters wouldn't be anything if to protect their mission.<br><br>In cool silence, she dove into combat. At another time, this might look unusual, but many people of this time had become accustom to attacks and had long since armed and trained themselves to defend their families and lives. <br><br>Allowing herself to skid across the dirty path, she slide between a group of monsters, swiftly and almost with an unatural grace, she unsheathed her words and brought it up the center of the creature with on vertical stroke. The serrated edge of her blade sliced through the creatures middle, right between the legs, cutting it cleanly in half. Blood and flesh flying into the air to splatter across the ground around her and on her, staining her beautiful dress.<br><br>Her eyes flared with excitement as she twisted her form into a quick circle,&nbsp; placing her left palm against the tip of her hilt as she gripped it with her right, she accurately pushed the blade through the second's abdomin. Quickly she gripped the hilt with both hands and twisted, listening with a odd satisfaction as a sickening gargle came from between the goblins lips.<br><br>Jumping back, she removed the sword from the creatures gut, watching as it fell forward into a bloody heap before her with a loud resonding BOOM, causing her small form to involuntarily bounce from the ground due to the shaking impact.<br><br>It was then that she figured she was being a bit to perfect, and would only raise more suspicious. Thus, she didn't 'seem' to notice the third creature, a Juggernaut come up behind her. Raising it's large cannon from it's back, he aimed for her small form and fired.<br><br>Turning towards it, she let out a loud gasp of alarm and move to jump out of the way, it just barely missed, hitting the ground beneath her. The explosion of the large amo hitting the ground caused her to fly into the air before plummeting to the ground several yards away. Letting out a loud cry of pain, she tumbled to the ground and crumpling into a small heap. <br><br>Blood dripped from between her pale pink lips as she lay there, her eyes closing as her body let out an involuntary shudder, the large beast raising it's cannon once more to aim down at her, ready to fire and crush her small body into the pavement.

				Coming up behind Kyle and Ghost, Gerard didn't as much as flinch at the oncoming onslaught. "Seems like trouble is coming our way. By the looks of it, it's either call for back-up or evacuate." He walked back to the vehicles that had brought them there and holstered one of the heavy weapons the marines had brought along, lifting it easily with one hand. "I'm voting for duking it out untill the back-up arrives."<br><br>He inspected the gun, not yet with the experience of a veteran but with an eye trained in the use of the thing. "Oh, and you might want to get big bad frankie back with us...we might need the guy..."

				Frankie's jaw dropped open as she watched the two Juggernauts fall in half, reminding himself to get the girl press ganged into the Hellfire Brigade if she was even remotely loyal to humanity at all.&nbsp; Reaching over to the generator, Frankie flipped all of the generator circuts fully open, rapidly increasing the rate at which the generator charged.&nbsp; The downside, of course, was that he was now an open electrical circut.&nbsp; Frankie popped a number of rivets out of his arm, which were soon charged with several million volts of electricity.&nbsp; He began to run towards the battlefeild, running as quickly as he could to keep the electical energy inside him from having a chance to discharge into the ground.<br><br>Two groups of Gobbers came between the golem and the girl he was duty bound to save.&nbsp; Frankie stopped and planted his feet, and a bolt of lightning lanched from his palm, killing a number of gobbers in a flash before the electrical feild around him simply turned into a wall of energy projecting from the halo like coil atop the generator.&nbsp; Frankie ran forward with haste, rolling to get around Sayuri as he pushed towards the Juggernaut in the midst of charging.&nbsp; Frankie's hands shot out and clamped onto the massive creature's vulnurable underside, delivering huge bursts of energy through the creature's legs as the generator channeled its entire output through Frankie.&nbsp; Now all Sayuki had to do was hope that demons have muscle spasms when exposed to electricity too, and survive the occasional stray burst of electricity.&nbsp; Frankie wasn't worried, anything that could tear a Juggernaut in half could survive the occasional bolt of lightning.&nbsp;

				As Electricity sparked into the air, her hair rose slightly in response to the high voltage near by as small random strikes of lightening littered around her body, but never once touching her. <br><br>Gritting her teeth slightly, she opened her eyes and shuddered as her face turned pale as a wave of dizziness hit her. Ok..so maybe letting the fucker hit her like that wasn't the best idea, she didn't really enjoy having pain herself.<br><br>Curling her fingers into the dirty ground, she slowly pulled herself onto her hands and knee's, attempting to stand. Though a bit wobbly, she succeeded in her endeavor. Blinking her eyes quiet oddly, she looked as if she was trying her hardest not to pass out before shaking her head. She would have picked up her sword if not for the electricity.&nbsp; She did not feel like getting fried due to that stupidty.<br><br>Looking towards Frankie, she silently admired his power as she watched the Goblin spasm, burns starting to appear all over it's body as it's eyes rolled into the back of it's head. Yet it didn't seem to want to die that easily, after all, they were hell spawn.<br><br>Rushing at Frankie, the creature flailed wildly, as if attempting to take the man out with him. Though at little avail as luckily for Frankie, the cannon exploded in the creatures hands due the the electricity igniting the gun powder within, blowing the bastard to bits.<br><br>"fuck..now that's new.." she muttered, mentally noting that she needed to get the large beasts new less explosive weapons.<br><br>Stumbling up to frankie, she eyes him over once, showing no concern for herself as she looked as though she were ready to fall over. "You all good?" she asked, her voice cracking a bit as she wipped the blood from the corner of her lips.

				Frankie ducked the massive exposion of gunpowder as he flipped the circuts of the Tesla Coil back into charging position.&nbsp; He took cover behind the body of the Juggernaut, hoping that there wouldn't be any more Gobber trying to run through the field of death he and Sayuki had created.&nbsp; "Nothing special?"&nbsp; Frankie asked incredulously, throwing Sayuki her sword back by the hilt.&nbsp; "When we get back, we're running a background check on you, then drafting you into the Hellfire Brigade.&nbsp; If you don't like it, you can take your protests to General Frag because I don't care."&nbsp; <br><br>Frankie ran across the battlefield and crouched behind one of the Juggernaut corpses, Wrapping his arms around the creature's Rizer Cannon and pulling it off the creature's flesh, straining as he braced the cannon on the beast's body.&nbsp; Opening one of the circuts on his Tesla generator, Frankie stuck his arm into the Rizer cannon's innards, slowly charging up a shot as he aimed the cannon in the general direction of the remaining juggernaut.&nbsp; Once the juggernauts were dead, the gobbers would most likely retreat, if they didn't simply lay down their arms and surrender.&nbsp;

				Ghost's eyes targetted upon the goblins and juggernuts, her form stiffening for a moment in fear at the sight of so many against just three people. Opening her mouth to speak she let out a slight squeaking sound as the voice slammed into her head causing her to double over having not heard it in so long she was not used to its affects. Her hands clutched around her stomach as if she was about to throw up while the words boomed against the walls of her mind telling her to stop being the coward she was. As the demons voice slowly died within her head, her breathing was labored and a sweat had broken out across her forhead. Whimpering slightly for a moment she attempted to catch her breath before straightening up again like nothing happened, her pouty lips pulled into a frown before she looked back to the men with new found confidence. "I'm sure Frankie is busy, either you two can sit here and debate calling him back or you can join me." <br><br>Without another word she reached back and wrapped her small hand around the hilt of her grandfathers katana and drew it causing a soft ring to announce its self to the surroundings. Her eyes were narrowed in concenration as Ghost appeared to be someone that she wasn't now, her ebony hair whipped in the winds and with a step forward she was gone. Her body moving to its own abilities, a blurr at most to any one watching her while the world slowed down in her own eyes giving her the persision she needed for an attack. Soon the goblins were within reach, the ones infront of her not even knowing what was coming as she swung the streaking silver blade with a practiced angle through the first three's necks decapitating them with ease. Their heads rolling against the ground in a spout of thick dark blood, the sound of every creatures head snapping towards the three's silent death gave her enough time to back pedal a few meters and stop before she called out. Her tone was one unheard of by her, as if that demon was still leading her by the hand into destruction "Take a look upon your fallen companions .... tell me .... will that be my fate or yours?" Ghost's lips curled into a dark twisted smile as the goblins looked amoungst eachother before they swarmed for her in a sea of claws and screeches. Their own cowardess hidden by sheer numbers, to them, they would surely win.

				Sayuri looked at him in bewilderment before taking cover herself after catching the sword. "A background check? Are you kidding me? Do you really think that half the people born on this planet are registered? Good luck on finding anything on me. I was born out side of the colonies." She called to him.<br><br>"but hey, atleast you won't find anything bad on me either." She shook her head slightly. Even if they did find something on her, it would probably be constructed fakely and have no real relevance on her. Though this would be her perfect chance to get into the hellfire brigade's headquaters. That's what they really needed to know, where the fuck these fuckers hid.<br><br>If she was able to get that information, she'd be rewarded greatly and she knew it. Smirking slightly, she glanced back at Frankie, then to Dorian... She just hoped that he wouldn't fuck this up...

				"I'm sure Frankie will be just fine." He noted as he watched one of the Juggernauts in the distance split in half, "And we can always go collect the pieces to put back together later if need be. He stood up from his sitting position, now standing atop the Paladin, which was currently laying down a steady line of suppressive fire towards the advancing Goblins. The corner of his eyes barely caught the change in Ghost as she streaked towards the advancing enemies. Content that between the cover fire provided by the Paladin and her blade the advancing squads would be quite tied up, he shifted his attention to the remaining Juggernauts, locking his targeting system onto the one in the lead, he swung his weapon around to point at it, still only using one hand, and fired.<br><br>A one second burst of fire tore through the distance between him and the beast in no time at all, the stream of bullets tearing into the front-right shoulder joint and cleaving it clean off, as if the line of bullets was a blade. The beast staggered, still able to support itself on its remaining five legs. But that soon changed when Kyle's next burst tore into the elbow joint of the middle-right leg, shearing it off in much the same manner. The beast lurched to the right, suddenly unable to support its weight on that side. It then toppled over to the right, kicking up a very large cloud of dust as it did so, and fell below the line of buildings and was out of his line of fire. Kyle grinned to himself, and began locking on to the next closest Juggernaut remaining.

				Dorian's mouth opened to answer the creature about his unit being stranded on the continent and his journey back from the wastelands of Germany. Sayuri's arrival and little show had him rethinking his story in bemused silence. He hated improvising things on the fly, it was to easy to get caught in your own web of lies that way. He allowed Sayuri to hang on him like some love struck teenager and man handle him so she could heal his wound. Looking into her eyes, he winked once when she laid her hands on his kneecap, an amused smirk tugging at the corners of his mouth. For the abomination's sake, he put on a small act of amazement as the glowing streams of power licked across the dried blood covering the unbleamsihed skin beneath.<br><br>Again at fate's fickle mercies, he sighs as the Juggernauts showed it's cruel sense of humor. As the pair tore through their opponents, Dorian took note of the weakness of the Brigade's creature. <em>'Harrumph. Chivalrous bastard isn't he?'</em> Dorian thought as Sayuri took her dive. <em>'You could be a little less dramatic though, Dearie.'</em> His eyes narrowed disapprovingly at her lying in the dirt. <em>'Well that does it! He'll definitely want to take us in after that display.'</em><br><br>A hiss from behind snaps Dorian from cursing the renegade goddess. Without wasting a motion, Dorian spins in place, unholstering his forty-fives. Two shots ring out quickly, burrowing deeply into the Gobber once in the chest. The other bullet snaps back the creature's head with a fountain of blood and gore. Dorian is again facing the pair fighting the last juggernaut, before the gobbo's lifeless body crumples to the ground behind him. He casually holsters the pistols at his side before he takes a seat on a broken slab of concrete.<br><br><em>'Of coarse if he does take us to the main base...'</em> Dorian's wolfish grin returning as he sits waiting on them to finish with the sub-demons.

				Sayuri took a deep breath and stood, glancing around the area before her opalescent eyes met Dorian's. She flashed him a grin that could only spell sibling rivalry. She was highly proud of herself, it it seemed quiet obvious. Though for all other knew, it could have merely looked as though she were boasting about killing two demons to his one.<br><br>She was rather good with her magic. She wasn't perfect, but then again, she had always felt like magic was cheating. Not many in the Brood would know that she could cast spell because she had always choose not to. She would only use it in emergencies. Sure, she could heal, but that's not exactly what she did with Dorian. She already knew he had healed himself, so she simple conjured an illusion. ... She was wonderful with illusions. After all, they were always so fun to use against her victims.<br><br>Bringing her eyes from Dorian, she looked to Frankie then towards where the last few Monsters were attacking. Though the one's around them were all dead, it seemed that a bit away, someone was engaged in their own battle.<br><br>"Frankie, don't you think we should help them?" She pointed out, looking towards where his "buddies were", although she didn't really know that he had an affiliation with them. She knew that he was part of the Brigade and duty stricken to help. She wouldn't really mind pretending to be 'Lara' for a while, it was always fun to be someone else for a bit.

				Dorian stood and limped slightly as he walked towards Sayuri and the behemoth. He instantly slipped into his accent before he spoke, "<strong>Well that was impressive, for a yank," </strong> Dorian smirked at Frankie. Centuries of pretending to be one person or the other allowed him to effect a friendly mannor. <strong>"Love, you are a marvel as always,"</strong> Dorian leaned in to Sayuri and gave her a peck on the cheek. <strong>"I could have handled this myself, goddess,"</strong> he whispered into her ear before pulling back with a bright smile.<br><br><strong>"Right, leg is still bit stiff but we have to clear the area." </strong> Dorian turned to Frankie. <strong>" I assume you have a plan?" </strong> He smiled and pulled his pistols out. <strong>" Do you have an evac point for these civilians?

				She smiled to Dorian pleasantly, even as he whispered his little words. "well, you're very welcome." She replied, her eyes holding a smug amusement, as though to say <em>' You didn't think I'd let you have -all- the fun, did you?'</em><br><br>Though it was pleasant to know he called her goddess, whether he was being cocky or not. It always entertained her.<br><br>Flicking her blade to the side, she let the blood splatter from the cool metal surface before sheathing it.

				Frankie appeared to pay very little attention to the bickering pair behind him as he watched his target get dismembered by Paladin Tank fire.&nbsp; Finally, his Rizer cannon got ready to fire and he unleashed a massive shell on the wounded Juggernaut, killing it in a massive explosion.&nbsp; Gobbers began to run and flee in panic as they saw their last heavy support fall to the ground in front of them.&nbsp; Frankie turned around and took a careful look at Dorian.&nbsp; <br><br>"At attention Soldier!"&nbsp; He barked, with the tone of a drill Sergeant, his eyes seeming to suggest that he expected the man to get up into a parade ground salute on the middle of the battlefield.&nbsp; "Strategic considerations are none of your concern.&nbsp; Preventing civilian casualties is the duty of the Hellfire Brigade and DPDS.&nbsp; You military organizations are responsible only for killing demons before they can kill anyone else.&nbsp; Please remember that, and if you want to deal with a plan to reduce civilian casualties, then submit an application to the DPDS."&nbsp; Frankie seemed somewhat annoyed about the state of affairs, yet it was true that the DPDS was doctrinally more of a disaster relief agency than an actual frontline combat force.<br><br>Frankie pushed past Dorian and took a look at "Lara" carefully placing his massive hands on hers.&nbsp; "Do you have a registration permit for the sword, or are you simply one of those natural magicians who can cut through steel using a wet noodle?"&nbsp; He asked, not clarifying that he was mostly trying to figure out whether she should simply have her sword taken away and placed under a heavy armed guard, or be shackled and fed a large amount of sedative for her transport back to the Citadel.&nbsp;

She muttered, flashing him a small glare.<br><br>"My sword is a family <strong>heirloom</strong>, so of course it's not going to have a permit. Seigyokuken is over centuries old!" She exclaimed, obviously highly proud of her weapon.<br><br>"and as for the wet nooble thing.. I don't like using magic." she muttered, her voice holding a bit of distaste.

				Frankie walked closer to the girl, letting his full bulk stand over her.&nbsp; "I can't fault a young girl like you for not studying her history.&nbsp; All artifacts of a mystical nature were required to be registered as early as 2025, even earlier in the European Union.&nbsp; Given that your sword seems to exceed the power of even a AA class relic, I assume you're the first in your family to swing it in anger, at least around the DPDS."&nbsp; Frankie very carefully and gently began to peel the sword from the girl's fingers, his touch gentle yet firm.<br><br>"We'll take the sword to the lab, see if it has any unusual properties that would help our research, then have it back to you in less than three days with a permit.&nbsp; You understand that allowing private citezens to go around with relics of unimaginable power goes far beyond second amendment rights."&nbsp; Frankie laughed, expecting the joke to go far over the head of the teenager.

She said, her voice cracking as her eyes seemed to tear. This was not an act however, later on she would have been angry and ashamed of herself for showing such weakness, but in a way, she loved that sword more then anything. It was always there for her, through her entire life. Always saving her when she needed it, protecting her. All these year, it was the only thing she felt she had to trust.

				Frankie took Sayuki by the hand and started walking her off the battlefield, somewhat surprised by how genuine her tears seemed to be.&nbsp; "We can let you keep the sword and take it into our base, but the security measures needed will be unpleasant, and somewhat unsavory.&nbsp; You'll need to be kept securely tied up at all times, and in secure parts of the facility, you'll have to be sedated as well.&nbsp; Since virtually every part of our base is a "secure" portion, you most likely won't even remember anything about the place until we've finished interrogating you, performing background checks, and studying your sword."&nbsp; Frankie seemed somewhat uncomfortable describing the terms under which she would be confined, knowing that DPDS soldiers, and even unscrupulous members of elite groups like the hellfire brigade, had taken advantage of nubile young women who had refused to make any accommodation with the DPDS in the past, and the situation showed no signs of improving.<br><br>Such was the risk of maintaining a military organization.&nbsp; Sure, most of the victims didn't even remember being abused, and the ones who did had mistaken their experiences for either drug induced hallucinations or part of the testing.&nbsp; Frankie secretly wondered if the men who had registered Ghost into the service had been good men.&nbsp; He shook his head to evade the thought, not willing to think about the poor girl being abused like that.

				Following him with out much resistance, she nodded slightly. "But do I really have to go? Can't I just stay out here.. I don't really see the benefits of joining if I have to be so tightly secured.. why would I join something if even at first I'm not treated with a level of privacy?" she said, looking up to him worriedly. Perhaps he would find a bit of comfort in her statement, because normally if she were in the Brood wouldn't she be jumping at any chance to join no matter what?<br><br>"What if you find nothing on me? or if you do find something on me, what if it's not to your satisfaction? While I be imprisoned?" she asked, before looking up to him pleadingly. <br><br>"We live in a time of war sir, it's hard for me to admit, but my past is far from perfect and I have commited crimes. I've killed, I've stolen all for the sake of survival. Surely you can understand that. Desperate times call for desperate measures... how can I be sure that I'm even safe in your hands or in the hands of your men? How can I trust you if you can't even give me the benefit of the doubt and trust me to walk with you undrugged." She continued. " Surely an entire base of elite can take down one woman with a sword, if not, then I'd have to highly question your idea of elite warriors..."<br><br>She would go with the background check, anything they would find on her at her present name would be like any normal citizen, perhaps with a slightly more violent past. Though he had to see the reasoning of her words.<br><br>"Handcuff me, chain me up all you want, just don't take my sword from me and don't take my free will to satisfy your curiosity..." she pleaded. It was obvious, like any other person, she was uncomfortable about the fact of being drugged. She knew she wouldn't give anything out if she were, but she didn't want to be taken advantage of. Perhaps she had in the past, which would make her plea perfectly normal in her case, he would have to consider this.

				Frankie chuckled as the little "goddess" begged, placing a hand on her shoulder as he walked her back towards the city center.&nbsp; "You speak like someone who grew up in an age when civil liberties weren't just a footnote in a history book.&nbsp; Prisons became quite untenable after the human population dipped below one billion.&nbsp; According to the last census, the number of free humans living in UN controlled territory is just under one million.&nbsp; If we find you've committed a string of murders as a bandit, we'll most likely sentence you to between 30 years and life in the military or the DPDS.&nbsp; The only really serious thing we're looking for is open worship of the dark gods.&nbsp; If you are found to be in their thrall, I shall be quite disappointed that you didn't take an opportunity to draw your blade and slice me in half where I stand, then burn down this camp."&nbsp; Frankie spoke with an authoritative tone, keeping fairly subtle the message that she had no choice in whether to come and be recruited into the DPDS or not.<br><br>Frankie turned Sayuri around, pointing to ghost as she ran across the battlefield, laughing maniacally as she brutally murdered entire squads of gobbers.&nbsp; "As for whether we can trust little girls with swords, I think that little exhibit over there should give you an idea.&nbsp; The drugging is not negotiable.&nbsp; I'll keep you under surveillance, and if anyone does take advantage of you..."&nbsp; <em>More than strictly necessary,</em> Frankie added in his head.&nbsp; "I'll ensure that they are placed at your tender mercies without any cameras or outside observers to interfere."&nbsp; Frankie smiled and dragged the girl towards the makeshift basecamp set up by the skyranger landing site, expecting Dorian to follow for his own debriefing.

				She frowned slightly as she was led away. Glancing to the murderous Ghost girl she couldn't help but smirk inwardly. She liked the girls spirit, maybe these human's weren't that horrible after all. They all seemed intelligent enough, and not to mention a few of them did have a good amount of skills.<br><br><em> 'My god... don't tell me I'm going soft..'</em> she groaned in the back of her mind, re-addressing herself back to her mortal hating nature.<br><br>Although..she did like his little promise. She started to wonder if she actually wanted one of their idiot men to be stupid enough to touch her wrongly. It would certainly end in a bit of fun for herself. Besides, she was an imortal and long since been trained and brief on sedatives.<br><br>...Well actually, more like given them over and over again in some cruel form of torture, beating and all but killed while the dark ones tested her countless times. They didn't stop until they were fully satisfied she was immune to the affects and able to hold her ground while drugged or beaten.<br><br>"Fine..." she replied a bit unhappily as any person would be. "And as for killing for something like raiding. That's not my forte', I killed to survive, stole with out being noticed. I never killed anyone in that way. It was usually the raider's that were brought down by my sword, not the raidee's" She added.<br><br>Looking up to the large man, she grinned slightly. "Better keep that promise sir, because if some creepazoid jackass touches me in the wrong way, you better believe he's going to lose that hand, and real fast. Sword or not." she added with a feminine snort. To him, she would most likely seem to be one head strong woman, if not a bit insecure and untrusting. But then again, with the past that would show up on her background check, it would probably all make sense to him in the end.

				Dorian surpressed laughing at Sayuri's predicament with the monster. He did not want the creature to susspect any more of an envolvment between the two than friendship. Slipping into his role as James he walked over and stood infront ofFrankie. Saluting sharpley, <strong><strong>"Sir! If I am to be under your command then what are your orders, sir?"</strong></strong> He was prepared to take away Sayuri's sword himself if it sped up their arrival at the Brigade's main base.

				Frankie shrugged a bit as he pulled out his field radio and dialed into DPDS HQ.&nbsp; "Commander, we had 4 Juggernauts and a swarm of gobbers going after the camp.&nbsp; It was a nasty strike, but I think it was just a probing action, since they didn't have any of the really heavy hitters mixed in there.&nbsp; At any rate, the attack was repelled easily by concerned members of the local community.&nbsp; We'll be taking two of them back to base for possible induction into the DPDS."&nbsp; Frankie switched off the Radio and turned to the pair, leading them over to the skyranger.&nbsp; <br><br>Frankie took on a tone of authority, looking the pair deeply in the eyes with his own mismatched orbs.&nbsp; "Soldier!&nbsp; Since we do not have any documentation of your operational status, you are legally a prisoner of war until we figure out whether you're AWOL."&nbsp; Frankie paused dramatically for a bit, his expression softening.&nbsp; "Don't worry too much about it.&nbsp; What it means is that you'll have to hand over your weapons, and then you'll get to sit on your ass for a few days or a few weeks while the desk jockeys down in the logistics division file paperwork.&nbsp; Think of it as a well earned vacation."<br><br>Frankie then advanced on Sayuri, placing a hand on her shoulder as several women in green medical scrubs came out from a nearby building, wheeling out a gurney with a large amount of straps on it, and carrying some ominous looking black boxes.&nbsp; "We'll have to start up your physical before we get you in the air.&nbsp; We'll be taking measurements, pulse rate, temperature, blood pressure, and pain tolerance.&nbsp; You'll need to strip for the examination as well.&nbsp; I'll assume you'd prefer to do it inside the skyranger?"&nbsp; Frankie sat waiting for the girl to blow her top, as most women did once he started explaining these procedures.&nbsp; The procedures were exactly the same for men of course, except the medical staff were male.&nbsp; Actually, the choice of electrode placement for the men during the pain tolerance exam was even worse.&nbsp; Frankie smiled a bit at his pleasant immunity to certain parts of DPDS regulations.&nbsp;

				At first Sayuri snickered at Dorian as he was to be taken as a considered "prisoner", but then as her role was explained, her jaw dropped as she stared at Frankie as though her were nuts.<br><br>"You can't honestly expect me to strip down and allow people to strap me to a freaking table. Being drugged is one thing, being forced to do such an extreme is another! What the hell is wrong with you people, what person in their right mind would actually go along with these things!"

I kill some bastard monsters, and the thanks I get is an invasion of my privacy and standards! Asshole, you people are worse then rapists, forcing me to go through with this shit!"

It looked as though she were ready to strike the next person that came to close.<br><br>"If all the shit I've gone through in this shitty life isn't bad enough, now I'm being invaded by the people that are supposed to be the good guys.." she muttered a bit angrily.<br><br>Glaring back at Frankie from over her shoulder, she gritted her teeth. "Let me ask you something sir... Was it worth it?" She asked, her voice going a bit softer as she waited for him to answer.

				Dorian did not break his stone faced soldier act as their new captor revealed the fate of both himself and Sayuri. Only a slight flicker of amusement shown in his eyes, before Sayuri blew up at him. <em>'Damn spoiled child. What does it matter if these fools want to run some tests in the long run?</em>' Internally he cursed the immortal, <em>'besides it is not like we cannot just leave when ever we want anyway...'</em><br><br><strong>"Sir, yes sir! Alittle holiday be nice and all sir. I'm looking forward to someplace tropical, sir." </strong> He smirks at the last bit. If these fools could get him to Barbados he would be a happy man, even if it meant being punished later by the Dark Ones.<br><br>He artfully unholstered his pistols and offered them to Frankie in one smooth motion. Both stocks forward, each .45 a minor work of art inlaid with silver settings and gold leaf. "<strong>I'll want those back, of coarse</strong>." His tone was even but authoritative. Dorian was not as attached to his weapons as Sayuri was to her sword, but they still had sentimental value.

				Frankie stood utterly resolute, finding the girl's protests to be a bit much.&nbsp; Heck, men had to give up a sperm sample once they got to the real business of gathering data.&nbsp; He stood in front of the enraged girl, watching as the doctors circled around her, cutting off her escape.&nbsp; "I must emphasize to you that I am sorry.&nbsp; We're not going to rape you, we merely need to do some tests.&nbsp; All of this is for the safety of humanity, and it's only temporary for the duration of the emergency.&nbsp; That's what all tyrants say right?&nbsp; I honestly say to you that I gain no thrill from having you humiliated like this."&nbsp; Frankie meaningfully gestured towards his ken doll crotch, pelvic thrusting a little bit to complete the rude gesture.&nbsp; "We could waive a great deal of this, but unfortunately you cut a juggernaut clean in half, something we've never seen unaugmented human technology do before."&nbsp; &nbsp;<br><br>Frankie stood calmly, looking into the girl's eyes with a grandfatherly expression.&nbsp; "It will only be women performing the exam, and there will be no visual records kept.&nbsp; Your privacy will be completely assured."&nbsp; <em>At least until we get you put under.</em>&nbsp; Frankie thought, wondering if the girl really had any idea how much she was at risk of being placed at the mercy of the psychological training corps for some high level conditioning.&nbsp; They only occasionally tried to brainwash monsters, but in many cases the monster blood left stains that would never wash out.

				Hearing the Words of the commander through his comm system he was ready to reply before he heard the words of Frankie almost accuratly describing the situation to the commander, getting the geezer of their backs for now. The battle being over before he could put the powerfull fire-arm he had carried to effective use, he put down the thing and watched the remaining enemy forces scatter out of range. "Damn effective fighting force, these people." He muttered, seemingly dissappointed in his lack of action but secretly relieved he hadn't had to put his ass on the line.<br><br><em>"One thing bothers me though, Frankie called this a probing action. It seemed more than that, and we DID notice an energy spike here before the enemy 'troops' arrived"</em> he thought. He opened a secure channel to Frankie through his comm system, hoping to exclude the commander from the convo as he was not trying to get anyone into trouble. "Oy Frankie. Probing force you said? Seemed more like a feignt to me. Are you sure we shouldn't be on guard for something else? And what's with those people you are with?"

				Frankie watched Sayuri head into the skyranger with the medical staff, and picked up his radio, walking to the edge of the landing site as MPs secured Dorian for transport.&nbsp; (In his case, simply by keeping watch over him and offering him a smoke.)&nbsp; "I wouldn't be so sure on how minor of an action this was.&nbsp; But of course we have to be ever vigilant.&nbsp; I picked up the girl who sliced apart two juggernauts back there, and she's starting her medical exam right now.&nbsp; Just as a point of interest, how exactly do you happen to feel about risking being sliced in half?"&nbsp; Frankie asked the question in an innocent enough tone, but it was clear he was starting up another of his particularly insane schemes.&nbsp;

				Sayuri sighed in a most depressing way, with a tint of annoyance as she was pulled away by the medical staff. Good luck to them, they'd never find anything inhuman about her beside's her powers and she wasn 't the only human now-a-days that had special abilities. She would most likely be considered another statistic.<br><br>Wait...where was her sword? glancing around wildly, she frowned. "... Hmm... If I were to escape these binds, do you think they would be impressed or just imprison me?" She asked one of the nurse's with a large innocent smile.

				"Just as a point of interest?" Gerard chuckled, but it was not his usual confident chuckle, Frankie never seemed to ask these questions without reason. "I can't say I'd particularly savour the experience, though with a bit of luck, and proper medical attention afterwards I'm sure I'd survive the retell the tale." <br>The were-wolf frowned and thought about the words of the construct.<br><br>"You said the girls started the medical exam right there, are you sure the nurses are capable of detaining her once she's going through the exam? Do you need my aid over there?" His tone was worried, not because a lack of faith in Frankie, but a general idea of the level of human error that could influence the procedure.

				Another portal opened near the ruin’s of ancient London allowing the mechanical maiden into the realm of earth once more. &nbsp;The machine looked this way and that, the glowing orbs that acted as her eyes scanned her surroundings. &nbsp;Her mechanical hands flexed fists as she eyed the gate that was in front of her. &nbsp; Without that wall, the hordes could easily flood the encampment and slaughter the humans at their leisure. &nbsp;The mechanical maiden would make sure that, that would happen. &nbsp;Perhaps the same action would take a few human’s out of the equation as well.<br><br>She ignored the sight of soldier’s suddenly moving closer to her, she was far enough away that they wouldn’t make it here in time. &nbsp;She was still nothing more then a dot in their field of vision, &nbsp;a dot of course that would tear down the walls of their castle even at this distance.<br><br>“Leaving idle mode unlocking power restraints to level three, &nbsp; authorizing a temporary spike to level 2.” &nbsp;The sound of a generator kicking in suddenly came to life, and the area around Elohim heated up significantly, and any sensors in the area would suddenly detect a tremendous spike in power centering around the golden haired female standing just outside the range of their sentry weaponry. &nbsp;Upon her back vents burst fourth, the glow of white heat is apparent in the slats.<br><br>“Emet....” &nbsp;She whispered the word, and it suddenly appeared in glowing golden letter’s on the brow of her sensor array. &nbsp;Runes flared to life on the gynoid’s arms and legs, they give an almost wholesome glow, like the warm light of fire place. &nbsp;<br><br>“Command gate in Malakh...” &nbsp;The air became fuzzy around the machine as she positioned her arms as if to catch something falling from the sky. &nbsp; Then it appeared from a portal similar to the one her and Corrine just exited. &nbsp;The thing was huge, almost eighteen feet in leangth from barrel to butt, with an organic flowing appearance, that lacked the hard edges of a traditional fire arm. &nbsp;Somehow, the machine managed to steady it upon her shoulder, and place her hand on what could only be called the grip. &nbsp;The endthat &nbsp;pointed towards the encampment was wider then the other, and it possessed a rather large hole that looked like it lead directly to the abyss itself. &nbsp;It was made entirely of sleek metal. &nbsp;Down its barrel was the words ‘Gal-Gal’<br><br>Small tendrils burst fourth from the weapon, the mechanical appendages slithered around her form, caressing it in almost sensual ways, as their tips seek out their housing, when they found what they were looking for, they buried themselves in various ports within her body, and the darkness pointing towards the enemy began to glow with and intense light, as the vents in Corrine’s back began to release a small blaze of white heat.<br><br>Her body took up a relaxed pose, giving herself a bit of room to move as various joints locked into place, allowing only a minimal amount of movement to balance the recoil of the weapon, while two metal spikes slid down from housings in her lower legs to pierce to earth, keeping her in place.<br><br>Her range of motion was completely limited until the weapon had left her hands, which could be done with another simple gate jump. &nbsp;“Corrine, shall I tear down their battlements?

				Kyle turns his head in the direction of the energy spike, his targeting systems registering the massive buildup of power. "Aww hell no. How the hell we supposed to compete with that!" He mentally cursed himself for not bringing any longer range weaponry to counter this, as he watched the energy readings spike. He scrambled down off the Paladin and sprinted towards the Skyranger still parked at the LZ. <br><br>He ducked inside the cargo hold and almost pulled the radio off the wall when he grabbed it. "This is squad two calling basecamp, Solider ID# 337, callsign Tank. We have imminent breach of settlement defence walls, requesting backup to secure breach. Also requesting deployment of Longbow via rapid-response pod. LZ 344 is clear of all friendlies. Authorization Alpha-Zeta-772." If the pod guidance was on target, and it usually was, the pod with the Longbow, which would be launched in a matter of moments from either the Leviathan or from HQ, would touch down just to the west of his position. Unfortunately,&nbsp; if he was right about the energy buildup, the enemy weapon would be ready to fire before that. All he could hope was that the walls held against the first shot.

				Corrine stepped through the portal, and threw her head back…her eyes closed against the gentle warm swell of the breeze that flitted through the twisted and shattered skeleton of London.&nbsp; It was a far cry from the London she had known… the capital city in which she had tasted both life and death… and the cruel hand of fate, but that was centuries ago and she had little care for it now.&nbsp; As she stepped forward her foot caught against something, she looked down and smiled…. Reaching down she slipped her slender fingers around a bleached white skull, she bought it to her eye line and narrowed her gaze… dead… long dead, its soul long since been separated… her touch flickered across it and her mind slipped through the lifestream… and she smiled… she had found him…<br><br>Then something flickered in Corrine’s thoughts, as the cool fingers of oblivion softly flexed, it was subtle but laced with a raw edge that caught against her senses in an instant.&nbsp; She felt a shiver run through her as the air slowly shifted and contorted… its subtle twisting hidden from all but the most sensitive mind, she spun about… the skull tipping from her hand, the fragile bone shattering against the rubble… The disturbance was centred on Elohim and the air around her had taken on a vibrant aura.&nbsp; The dark heart of oblivion still beat within her, that hadn’t changed, but the power that was now surging through it meant that Corrine no longer had to reach into the warrior… as she looked on it was almost as though she was being surrounded by a growing supernova of energy, all of this oblivious to eyes other than Corrine’s own…<br><br>The softly spoken ancient word’s stilled Corrine and her gaze was drawn to the structure of the mechanical warrior as it flared with arcane symbols and the air around her crackled… She opened up her mind to the extortionate amount of power that was being generated… even being used to the tempestuous eddies of the planets own energy stream, the sudden spike being generated by Elohim made her skin prickle and the writhing arc of energy coiled around her own arm started to spark as the air superheated around them… she lifted her forearm up and watched the energy spiral dance, as it did so, her gaze look passed it, and towards the fracture that was appearing above Elohim… <br><br>Corrine felt the psychic shock wave of the weapons appearance as it settled and the writhing metal snakes secured it to her… Back in the Abyss she had heard whispers of such dark technology, but had rarely paid it such heed, she looked on it now with her open mind, and if Elohim were the sweet soft touch of oblivion, this weapon, in her embrace, looked to Corrine as though it were the raging maelstrom at the heart of a black hole…<br><br>“Kiichpan…” Corrine’s tone a fleeting breeze as her piercing blue gaze was drawn to the weapon as it pulsated and throbbed.&nbsp; It was almost…. an aching thrill to watch as the slender figure before her readied herself, braced against the growing core of energy ….. Elohim, who had spoken so softly and shared in such deep purity in the silence of her chamber, now stood poised as some dark avenging angel.<br><br>Elohim’s soft gentle voice caressed her as she asked a question that seemed steeped in innocence.&nbsp; Corrine stepped to her side, her eyes sharpened against the skyline and the bastion that stood in vain defiance against them; she felt her own psionic ability intensifying as the air sizzled around them… she began to draw from the depths of the lifestream, bolstering her own defences…<br><br>Her soft smile upturned her lips as she bought her gaze to meet the fiery inferno of the warrior at her side… <br><br>“Obliterate it my dear Elohim….

				A few seconds before the weapon fired, Frankie saw a strange reaction in his body.&nbsp; Strange letters and sigils, things that had been carved into him when he first was created began to start crawling to the surface of his skin.&nbsp; "They didn't!"&nbsp; Frankie hissed, as a catastrophic flash of light proved to him that mankind HAD in fact dared.&nbsp; <br><br>There had been several research programs Frankie was not privy to the details of.&nbsp; He had thought that nobody would be stupid enough to try and recreate the experiments of the late 18th century.&nbsp; Hadn't they learned enough from the defeat of the British Empire?&nbsp; The fall of the French Monarchy?&nbsp; There was no sin man could commit greater than the creation of artificial life.&nbsp; The golem briefly considered whether the servants of the Dark God could have built something of that nature, but soon realized that he'd turned over the very last copies of the necessary rituals to the DPDS.&nbsp; And yet some damned fool scientist had to go and see for himself whether the rumors were really true.<br><br>Frankie opened up a secure channel to the commander, letting the static hiss for a bit while he gathered his emotions.&nbsp; When he finally spoke, his tone was calm, but filled with an inner malice.&nbsp; "And ye wicked, who sow only death, shall reap what you sow."&nbsp; He hissed, walking slowly through the camp as civilians and soldiers alike ran in panic.&nbsp; "Cancel that longbow strike.&nbsp; I need to handle this situation personally."&nbsp; Frankie looked over at his Tesla Coil, noting that it had charged up to maximum power.&nbsp; It was a rather appropriate piece of equipment really.&nbsp; He opened a circut to accumulate the tiniest extra charge, letting the energy flow through his body.&nbsp; Sparks lanced over him as he became part of the generator, the runes that had been brought to the surface fading as he crackled with energy.<br><br>Finally, Frankie reached the edge of the crater created by Elohim, and stared out across the ruined capitol at a mechanical killing machine, and her strange dark companion.&nbsp; "I don't suppose you two happen to be concerned citezens only slightly estranged from the DPDS too?"&nbsp; He asked the question in jest.&nbsp; Yet his eyes reflected an intense energy.&nbsp; The man stood at the lip of the crater, paying no attention to the bleeding and moaning individuals thrown across the crater by the massive blast.&nbsp; This day was starting to look worse than that row he'd had with the Shelleys.&nbsp;

				Elohim’s words sliced calmly through the air as it ached under the colossal disruption of the weapon as the charge increased its fervour… Corrine found her self shoring up the psionic field around her mind, partly driven from the rapture she was feeling as she stood poised on the brink of battle… but also from not knowing exactly the effect the great cannon might have on her.&nbsp; She felt the wave wash out across her in an ever increasing sphere of force, it felt like the last gasp of a dying star as it bled a billion years of energy in a single moment…<br><br>For a second, realities and planes twisted and buckled around her… her mind slipping through them as though the whole of time lay open to her gaze… a hand rested upon her shoulder and she twisted her eyes around to find she was fixed with the infernal gaze of the ancient Mayan… her skin smouldered as the symbols seared across her flesh and her voice grated across the heavens…<br><br><em>“The ‘time of no time’ has begun Corrine; this is the age of ‘tranquillity’ as foretold by my people…. This is the seventh year from the initiation of the Katún, and now all that remains is for the world to enter a time of darkness… of cleansing and cataclysm. This is the end of the fifth and final cycle my child… the dawning of a new age… The Hunab-Kú beats to the sound of ancient prophecy…and it will not be denied…<strong> we</strong> will not be denied”<br><br>The Mayan goddess cast her eyes to the writhing fire that swept across the skies… before continuing… “The Hunab-Kú will emit a burst of light so intense that it will bring everything into sync and illuminate the entire universe...” </em><br><br>Her senses were rocked back into reality as the expanding energy wave was suddenly wrenched back in a colossal implosion.&nbsp; Corrine was close enough to feel the titanic wash of the weapon as the air burned around her and cast forth a searing burst of streaming energy… nothing in its path remained…<br><br>Malakh had spoken of judgment….<br><br>In its wake the planets life stream exalted in a sudden surge, the green rivers of energy leapt and danced deep within the hidden core of the planet as it was suddenly fired by a titanic influx of energy… screaming writhing energy… each masked in the deep thrall of agony… each torn from this world by the strike of the avenging angel at her side.&nbsp; Corrine gasped out as each one merged with the stream and augmented the pain that flowed through her blood. The energy coursing around her arm began to flare as the ancient drank deeply of the sacrifice wrought from the cacophonous destruction. Corrine felt her mind blister at their touch, the lifestream coursed through her and ached for a release, her psionic abilities spiked and as they did so, they brushed across something moving through the scorched land…<br><br>The piercing eyes of the twisted soul turned to the shape that had ambled to the edge of the crater and quirked a brow at him… she spoke to Elohim whilst maintaining her vigil on the giant that closed in… she sniffed the air… “Curious” she whispered as she watched the subtle sparking from his body… "What do you make of that?"<br>

				Kyle's targeter beeped at him as the pod closed the distance to the drop point. He was sprinting now, the large ammo drum slung over his back bouncing with enough force to crush an ordinary man. Ahead of him there was a flash of retro-thrusters as the pod decelerated from its supersonic speed moments before impact, scattering dust and debris in all directions. His visual sensor cut through the cloud however, revaling the pod itself. The pod had burried itself partly into the ground, but The top half foldeed away like a mechanical flower, revealing the tightly packed and braced weapon inside. <br><br>The A.G.G.-7LR was similar to his usual Minigun only in that it had been designed for vehicles first. In its compacted form, it was aproximatly four feet long, and between two feet wide at the base, and less than a foot wide at the tip. Kyle quickly released the straps that held his Minigun in place on his arm, dropping it and the ammo drum to the ground with a clatter. He quickly tapped in the unlock code to the pod and hefted the weapon out. He moved away from the pod a few feet and then droppeed to his knee, much the same way an ordinary man would brace to fire a rocket launcher. He reached his hand into the control slot, where normally the control lines would go if it were mounted, and uses his nanomachine network to interface it with his targeter, and simultaniously bring the weapon online. <br><br>The whole thing split right down the centerline, spliting the weapon into two halves. The top half moved upwards and revealed a set of rails, which slid out of the end, doubling the weapons length. The two rails crackled with energy, visually arcing between the two halves. The A.G.G.-7LR is a long range Rail Gun, dedsigned to propel projectiles at tremendous speeds using magnets. This model fires long thin spikes, about twice the size of a pencil at about 17 times the speed of sound. The original concept was concieved to shoot down enemy spy satilites, back before the planet turned into hell, but the idea was later revived to shoot down high flying enemy creatures. It was also devistatingly effective against ground targets as well, and Kyle used it generally as a sniper rifle, when extreemly long range support was needed. <br><br>Zooming in with his targeter he centeredd the crosshairs on the woman weilding the cannon, but he watched it fade away into whatever dimension it came from. He also spotted frankie comming, and activated his comm. "Frankie, this is Tank. Longbow deployed at point 334. I have aquired the two hostiles who attacked the settlement. You are in my Line of Fire, please advise." He knew frankie would likely have him open fire anyways, probably pinning one of the opponents down to give him a clear shot, since he himself was pretty much imortal. But he checked anyways, since the captain might have a different plan in mind.

				Corrine smiled, her mind flickered as the slender figure of Elohim spoke… she remembered little of the meeting, but for the sudden spike that came near to severing the hold she had over Itzpaplotl and the wash of the nothingness that beat at the mechanical maiden’s core as she was able to pull back from the brink… but one other thing did stay with her, a flicker of conversation…<br><br><em> “….I have the urge to take the relic apart to see how it works…” </em> she smiled, as she watched the aged automation continue towards them, each step crackling against the terrain… Corrine slipped behind Elohim, her fingers momentarily trailing along her upper arm and shoulder; she said nothing, conveying her simple message along the sensitive array of sensors in her dermal covering.<br><br>A short distance away lay the mangled remains of a vehicle, its metal long since given to rust and the broken remains of the driver having near mummified, Corrine sought to rest herself against the twisted metal as she continued to watch the solid steps of the ‘prototype’ as it headed towards them, sensing the sparking on the ground with each footfall… Then she turned her mind to the angel of death that awaited him, she quirked her head and opened her mind towards the cooling ‘star’ at her heart… it was then Corrine narrowed her eyes<br><br>Something sparked at the edge of her senses and she took a few steps forward, her eyes narrowed and fixed against the far horizon… with so much death and devastation having been wielded at Elohim’s hand, the immediate vicinity had been all but wiped of sentient life, this made it a little easier to pinpoint a flicker of energy… the signature was confusing to her, its edges blurred and lacked the clarity that she would normally have associated with the energy of a normal mortal soul…. This meant only one thing to her… she narrowed her eyes and felt the feathering of her psionic abilities flow around her... a dark smile crossing her face as the air began to shimmer....<br>

				The smell of singed hair reached Gerrards nostrils as he pushed himself up of the ground. The mad dash, finished in a giant leap, had taken him just outside of the weapons path. He inspected his hands, turned to giant head-sized claws, and realised that the added adrenaline had made him lose his mental control at the exact right time. His enhanced senses even more sharpened by the full transformation, his nose identified the figures in the distance as Frankie and two unknowns...and one of them was smelling of ozone and metal.<br><br>He growled in a low rumbling way and bared his fangs as he continued 'watching' them with his nose and ears. "What the hell does he think he's doing going out there by himself." He muttered. He got down on all fours and shook his fur to get rid of the dead hairs caused by the blast, before sprinting off in a fast dash towards the group in question. Smelling the other there was no doubt about it...these two had had dealings with 'the enemy'.

				Frankie stared into the lifeless orbs of the mechanical maiden. &nbsp;His eyes did not stray from hers even as he lifted his radio to respond to his fire support team. &nbsp;"This is Frankie. &nbsp;Hold your fire. &nbsp;Repeat. &nbsp;Hold your fire. &nbsp;I've got some personal business to deal with. &nbsp;Lock your targeting on the target that isn't heated up like the fires of hell please." &nbsp;Frankie returned his attention to his spry young descendant, throwing himself across the crater with a single contraction of the muscles of his body. &nbsp;He landed just a few steps away from the masked machine. &nbsp;<br><br>Frankie began to speak, his voice riddled with conflicting emotions. &nbsp;"I am the machine created by Benjamin Franklin nearly 450 years ago. &nbsp;My creation would not have been necessary but for the hubris of Newton, who originally discovered the principles of artificial life. &nbsp;I was born to keep the world from being destroyed in the name of the crown of England, or any other name. &nbsp;Yet now, it would appear I have an estranged daughter, created with the same intentions, yet doing exactly the opposite of what she was built for." &nbsp;Frankie opened up the circuts of the Tesla coil, causing a massive bolt of electricity to jump between his hands. &nbsp; &nbsp;"I hope, for your sake, that you don't rely on any magnetic components for your proper functioning." &nbsp;Frankie smiled and pressed a red button on the Tesla coil, reversing the flow of the electrical energies stored within and creating a huge surge of electromagnetic energy that radiated from Frankie, destroying any electronic device unfortunate enough to be caught in the blast. &nbsp;That would save Frankie from any more interruptions from the rest of his team or the DPDS.

				The machine’s mind was focussed entirely on this moment, this would be no simple fight, she machine was a relic made seemingly from dead flesh.&nbsp; He was her prototype, but, this ancient weapon was the striking arm of the Hellfire Brigade.&nbsp; He was dangerous, that much she knew, unfortunately the data provided about him didn’t list any particular abilities that he had, she would be entering this battle blind, the only thing she had to go on was the electric pulse, and the generator that was strapped to her opponent’s back.<br><br>Elohim felt a hand move to brush her flesh, she wished she could offer Corrine such a gesture right now, but that mechanical brain of her’s wouldn’t allow itself to wander, no, any amount of laxness might result in temporary damage and a general decrease in her over all performance.&nbsp; Those glowing red orbs never once moved, except to follow Frankie across the crater.&nbsp; She took a step forward as her ancestor spoke.&nbsp; Right from his mouth!&nbsp; It was him, the relic...&nbsp; The machine man of bygone days!&nbsp; &nbsp;She lifted her right, arm to forearm blade glittering in the light show generated by the Tesla coil.<br><br>She felt electricity gathering, about ready to disperse...&nbsp; She had one moment to react, her hand that wasn’t currently tipped with wicked claws wrapped tightly around Corrine’s jacket, tossing her as gently as she could outside the blast radius.&nbsp; She hoped in the back of her mind that the beautiful female would either land on something soft, or find a way to land on her feet.&nbsp; It was then it struck her, the jolt of electricity scorched her false skin, her body twitched ever so slightly as she dropped to one knee, smoke rising from the seam of her mask.&nbsp; A quick diagnostic showed her priority systems had been left unharmed, she did have protection against the wicked weapon.<br><br>“Ancient relic...”&nbsp; She said, as she raised herself up to her full height.&nbsp; Her body once more was completely under her control.&nbsp; “Your weapon is quite impressive...”&nbsp; The mechanical maiden’s body then surged forward moving with speed that would have confounded the human eye, the sound of her approach though was punctuated by the sound of her metal feet slamming down hard against the surface of the earth, leaving wicked cracks in the dead and blasted ground.&nbsp; The wicked vibro-blade left a quick gash against the ground, as it was dragged across it.&nbsp; Elohim’s blurr of a body moved past Frankie at his left side, kicking up dust in her wake, the machine would feel the strands of her hair brush past his skin, and feel the heat of her active generator licking at his flesh<br><br>Her clawed hand slid outward as she passed, her wicked gleaming claws aimed directly at the dead flesh of the machine’s neck, the blades wouldn’t be enough to kill him, merely to mark him and give him a bit of a taste of the agony that he wrought upon her..&nbsp;

				With a surge of energy, the Tesla generator discharged its entire reserve of energy into Frankie's body, giving him just enough speed to duck Elohim's first strike.&nbsp; The metal claws of the machine met the leather straps holding the generator on Frankie, and he twisted as the generator collapsed off of his body.&nbsp; The next movement was again lightning quick, as Frankie surged towards the generator and pushed himself off the ground , landing on the far side of the crater with his back to Elohim.&nbsp; He set down the generator gingerly, rising to his feet as the clamps and latches on his body closed into a complete circut.<br><br>"You're quite quick indeed."&nbsp; Frankie commented, slowly turning around and walking into the lip of the crater.&nbsp; "But you don't understand the flow of battle."&nbsp; He concluded, reaching into the debris field and picking up a massive jagged shard of an armored vehicle, emblazoned with the logo of the DPDS.&nbsp; "Now that we've divested ourselves of our precious possesions, we can fight as warriors."&nbsp; Frankie announced, pulling the shard along in front of him as he ran forward, pulling the remaining bulk of the buried machine of war along with him.&nbsp; "I'm not going to let you give me a scar so easy!"&nbsp; He shouted, as his exertions began to excavate the crater while he gained speed, soon throwing an entire inside out armored vehicle at Elohim like some chain fit to hold a god.

Father.”&nbsp; Came the voice from above, cold without emotion.&nbsp; “This is where your bones shall rest, with the ashes of humanities defender’s scattered around you.&nbsp; A fitting grave...”&nbsp; The machine held out the hand tipped with deadly scything claws, for an instant energy seemed to gather in the outstretched hand, before an orb composed of golden light rushed downward, towards humanities patchwork defender.<br><br>“Corrine...”&nbsp; Her voice still amplified, “leave this battle to me.”<br>

I would help, but seeing as I'm a little tied up, I'll leave it to them to take the grunt work." She said a bit loudly towards the nurses, her words a little slurred by the sedative they had placed in her body, but other then that, she seemed perfectly fine.<br><br>Gently she sat up from the cot they had her strapped to. This was rather odd..because each strap had been placed across her body in various places. Over her shoulders, just below her breasts, over her hips, her thighs, and her ankles. They all seeming disappeared in a shadowy mist as she sat up.<br><br>She did not move from the cot however and just sat there, crossing her legs to sit Indian style at the center of it. She cocked her head to the side, smiling almost like the Cheshire cat as she watched everyone racing back and forth to take care of the wounded. Though to them, she probably looked more curious then anything. Completely innocent, just sitting there and watching. It wasn't as if she was trying to escape, she just didn't like having to lay there forgotten for to much longer. So she'd sit, and they'd just have to ignore her.

				Kyle watched all this through his targeter. He had long since lost the lock on the machine girl anyways, moving far to fast for even the sophisticated weapons system to track. He acquired the other woman fairly quickly, since she didn't seem to be doing much moving herself. Kyle had to wait a few more moments for the duel to move away from his target, not wanting to disturb the captain in what was obviously a fairly difficult fight. <br><br>Kyle had to offer a whistle of admiration when the woman had reached out and stopped the wreak in mid air. She obviously had some form of telekinesis, which would pose a problem against most projectile weapons. But she seemed to require a moment to build up the strength, and the slug fired from the A.G.G.-7LR would cross the relatively short distance in less than the blink of an eye. He watched her seem to settle down after exerting herself, then lined her up again and pulled the trigger.<br><br>There was a soft mechanical noise as the slug was loaded into the chamber, and then a massive expulsion of energy down the barrel. There was no recoil whatsoever, as the weapon had no moving parts. There was simply a massive surge of energy, as the magnets propelled the slug down and out the end of the weapon, leaving electricity arcing to the ground around it. The slug brought with it a substantive charge, leaving an ionized trail through the air that almost made it look like a lightning bolt, leaving a perfectly straight line leading towards his target. The slug crossed the distance instantly, perfectly aimed at the woman watching the duel between the mechanical beings.&nbsp;

				Frankie leaned into Elohim's attack and let her drive the vibroblade into his armpit.&nbsp; The blade sailed through his flesh and into the place where his lungs and heart would be.&nbsp; If he actually had any need of such organs.&nbsp; He had them of course, but he wouldn't keep them in such an obvious place.&nbsp; Besides, it was the liver that was the critical organ anyway.&nbsp; <br><br>Frankie's other hand grasped Elohim's arm and he pulled her into a lock, straining and comparing their strength.&nbsp; "Then what is the point of mindless destruction?"&nbsp; Frankie asked, not seeming to have been made particularly nervous by the fight.&nbsp; "I have such capability.&nbsp; You know this.&nbsp; But I won't use it unless I absolutely have to.&nbsp; Such power is wasted on mortals who can barely fight back.&nbsp; Don't you even care about the lives you've taken?!"&nbsp; Frankie bellowed with rage, his body heating up as his muscles flexed to their utmost, contracting against the vibroblade and transmitting its destructive vibrations back down the hilt as Frankie squeezed his "daughter" with all his might, trying to get his hands down her arms and around her neck.&nbsp; That wouldn't stop her, most likely, but she'd at least be blinded so he would have some breathing room to figure out how to really stop her.

More of that silver fluid flowed from her now wound leg, it twitched ever so slightly.&nbsp; She could simply turn off the sensors in her damaged limbs, but, doing so would have decreased her chances against the beast, it was better to feel pain then to feel nothing at all.

				Kyle blinked twice, peering over the targeter with his own eyes, making sure he hadn't imagined that. She'd simply let the shot pass right through her using some sort of phase technique. His mind raced, shifting through the possible counters to such a technique. There were a few beasts of the brood that had a similar ability, although none that could do so fast enough to dodge a Longbow shot. He took a moment to plan his next shot when she did something with a handful of dirt, and then lifted Frankie clean off the ground. She was exerted now, and would likely have to drop Frankie in order to dodge the shot, or wouldn't be able to and would take the hit.<br><br>He lined her up again and pulled the trigger, the slug closing the distance between the two of them in a nothingth of a second. Anticipating her phase as well, just in case, he shifted his aim and fired off a second slug right after, this one aimed at the ground beneath her. It would send up a massive cloud of dust and dirt, which should prevent her from phasing back in, since the space was now occupied by solid objects.

				She sighed softly, folding her arms over her chest. This was not going well, and she did not like being ignored... or at least not noticed. <br><br>Slowly opalescent eyes focused on Corrine, she knew the psychic vampire would be able to hear her if she placed her thoughts correctly. <em>'Corrine. This fight is getting far to messy, we might lose one of you and the dark one's would not like that. I have a fail safe for now. Dorian and I have been accepted into their little collective. They are going to test me to see if I can join the Brigade, I am completely confident in my power of deception. If you'd wish, I will create a gate and teleport both you and Elohim back to headquarters so that you may repair her. Remember, there is always tomorrow, but only if you're alive.'</em> she spoke to Corrine, looking directly out her, her gaze unwavering the whole time as she watched for her response.<br><br>She would back off if the woman wished, but she felt it was better that she asked before doing anything against their will. Go knows that if they didn't agree and she did that, the dark ones would be more pissed off at her then anyone.

				Dorian grimaced as he reached out, snorting at the blackened bones of his hand as he pulled himself from under the corpse of the soldiers the abomination had assigned to guard him. Noticing the lack of depth to his vision, he felt for his vacant right eye socket. No doubt the fluids in his eye had super heated from the blast and vaporised, rupturing the orb. Removing his twin pistols and a rifle from the charred corpse of one of the soldiers, Dorian cursed Elohim. <em>'Damn showoff.'</em><br><br>As he clawed his way over the melted slag of an APC, his wounds quickly faded. Muscle tissue re-knitted, while veins wormed their way through the raw flesh of his arm and hand. The blistered skin on his face and scalp receded as the first strands of his brown hair sprouted forth. Blinking rapidly, he soon saw the world normally again. By the time he stood atop the pile of wreckage left by the explosion only his bloody and burnt clothing showed any sign that he had just survived the inferno. Holding the rifle aloft, he removed the clip with a practiced snap. A cursory check of the ammo, showed it had survived the heat. <em>'Depleted uranium with a titanium jacket and a Teflon coating. Lovely.'</em> Satisfied, Dorian slapped the clip back in place.<br><br>Raising the rifle to his shoulder he sighted in on the crater Elohim had made with a smirk. Slowing his breathing, he steadied the barrel. He watched her battle the creature over the rifle's sight. <em>'Well, well, this is almost as good as the Circus Maximus back when Nero was in charge.'</em> As the gynoid and behemoth battled Dorian observed the conflict, waiting for the perfect time to strike. As much as the creature had been a stubborn obstacle to his infiltration of the DPDS, he still needed it functional. As the battle slowed to it's finish Dorian sighs in disappointment. As Elohim took careful aim at the giant's skull, Dorian gently put tension on the trigger. Feeling the rifle bark in his ears, the slug connected him and the doll's eye for a fraction of an second. <em>'Sorry, my little toy. That one still owes me a dance.'</em><br><br>The bullet found it's target an instant before Kyle's blasts.

				Before the blast had fully charged Elohim’s head shot backwards one of the cold blue orbs burst,&nbsp; followed by a sudden torrent of silver fluid. The weapon fizzled, the gathering energy dissipated into nothing more then a faint wisp of gold smoke.&nbsp; The bullet had torn through many of her important circuits, the arm returned to normal and nimbus around her faded away.&nbsp; Her body surged forward, long golden strands hit the floor before she did.&nbsp; Her willowy frame crashed to her knees, with a loud metallic thud, her body being supported by her remaining good arm.<br><br>The silence came rushing in, there was a soft pitter-pat of liquid dripping to the ground,, as her vision began to go to static.&nbsp; Her mechanical body began to twitch rather erratically, clawed hands dig weakly into the earth.&nbsp; The weak mechanical voice of Elohim was reduced to let out a single whimper.&nbsp; <br><br>Was...&nbsp; This the silence before death?&nbsp; She...&nbsp; Was afraid...&nbsp; In this instant she realized she feared her destruction, something had changed very recently.&nbsp; Slowly the machine tried to push herself up, finding her body no longer listened to normally simple commands.&nbsp; A single silver droplet fell from the corner of her good eye.&nbsp; <br><br>Her head tilted towards the psychic vampire, the single blue orb in her head focused upon the beautiful figure.

				Sayuri cursed softly, she should have just made the decision when she had the chance. Now Elohim was mortally wounded, at least for a person such as herself. She silently wondered if Corrine would hate her for this.<br><br>She narrowed her eyes on Dorian, resisting the urge to attack him right there. She didn't know why, but she had oddly become attached to the other two women, more so Elohim because she got to know her a little better.<br><br>"Damn you.." She hissed, unlike the others, she saw what he had done. THanks to her acute sense's, she had heard him appear from under the bodies and watched as he aimed and fired.<br><br>Quickly she snapped her fingers, creating a gate, slowly she flicked her index finger to the right, watching as the portal swooped&nbsp; across Elohim, then soon after Corrine, only to disappear once more. The portal then reappeared miles, even dimensions away, placing the two women back at the headquarters, in Elohim's chambers. She needed to be repaired.

				Dorian could not resist smiling in smug satisfaction, as Elohim fell like a marionette whose strings had been cut. He was still impressed even after all these centuries, by the power and accuracy of the smokeless powder rifle. He remembered the first time he had shot one, he had scoffed at its potential. Yet here he had just taken out the eye of a target over a hundred yards away with a single shot. <em>'Damn things are still to noisy though',</em> he chuckled as he jumped down off the remains of the APC he had perched upon. Seeing Sayuri's icy glare, he merely nodded to her. <br><br>As Sayuri's portal swept up the two Brood members Dorian closed the distance to Frankie at a brisk jog. Careful to keep his footing in the blast crater as he descended, Dorian called to the DPDS creature. <strong>"You all right, sir?!"</strong> He hoped the monster was still functional. He had hoped it could speed their introduction to the DPDS.&nbsp;

				Sayuri frowned lightly as Dorian simply nodded at her. <em> ' that was over doing it a bit much, don't ya think..?</em> she thought towards him, though she was sure he couldn't hear her.<br><br>She sighed softly and followed after "James" as she made her way towards Frankie aswell. She put on a worried face, her eyes shinning with sympathy as she came in close to him. Though she did not touch him, she wasn't sure yet how he would react. <br><br>"That Mechanical lady sure gave you a beating." She muttered before realizing she was still supposed to be strapped down to a table right now. She turned slightly pale then smiled to the man thing sheepishly, looking slightly guilty as any person whom had escaped imprisonment would. "Hehe..." she flashed him a small innocent smile.

				Frankie fell to the ground as Sayuri swept up Corrine and Elohim, his shrapnel filled eyes blazing with a confused mania.&nbsp; He slowly pushed himself back onto his feet, his body slowly dissolving into dust as he did so.&nbsp; He needed to return to the ground, rebuild his body, and yet, he had things he needed to do.&nbsp; He placed a hand on Dorian's shoulder, smiling as he looked into his eyes.&nbsp; "I'm fine.&nbsp; Excellent work soldier, I'll make sure to recommend you for a medal or a promotion or whatever you want once we get back to the base."<br><br>Frankie walked closer to Sayuri, his large eye focusing on her intently.&nbsp; "Perhaps, little girl, you could explain first why you left medical custody in the middle of a battle after being wounded, and second why a number of mysterious portals appeared shortly after you did, little witch."&nbsp; Frankie closed his fists, stopping just short of gesturing for Dorian to raise his rifle at the goddess.&nbsp; The black fluid had stopped leaking from Frankie, only to be replaced by a continuously increasing tide of dust and sand falling from his body.

				Words filtered across the ether, words tinged with a familiar tone of Sayuri, but against the raging tempest of her mind Corrine barely caught them before they were swallowed up under the weight of her mental exertion… <br><br>She felt it coming…. The sudden slice through the crackling arc of energy as she expended the weight of her psionic ability to lift the behemoth clean from the ground, it whistled past her head and she could do nothing to stop it, a simple single round… and the sizzle in the air behind her as Elohim charged for the decisive strike was suddenly gone, leaving only the faintest wash of charged molecules to wash over her.&nbsp; Corrine snapped her mind back, tearing the psychic tendrils that had ensnared Frankie and dropping him back to the earth.<br><br>Corrine twisted about, already dreading the sight that would greet her… but not prepared for the weight of emotion that suddenly speared through her when she met the shattered gaze of the dark angel… her mouth fell open… all thoughts of battle fled from her as she rushed to her side, dropped to her knees and cradled the mechanical females head against her chest… the chill from the silver that flowed from her shattered eye laced her breast with its caress… she looked down… water pooling in her gaze as the gentle flow of tears trickled down her cheek and pattered softly against her… <br><br>“I am sorry…Elohim….” Her voice cracked under the weight…<br><br>Her gaze snapped sharply back towards Frankie, her look dripping with purest hatred… and then she looked past him, her eyes burning against the distance, using the knowledge laced within the planet to seek out her target, and for a briefest moment she met his gaze… but as her mind feathered, there was a sudden arcing of energy from a portal that ripped at her thoughts and cast her into its cold depths before opening back into the Abyss… <br><br>Corrine was breathless… when the portal reappeared; she dropped to her knees, Elohim at her side, amidst the familiar surroundings of the dark laboratories.&nbsp; She was aware of figures around her, their expressions shocked at their appearance… Corrine pulled herself to her feet and grabbed the nearest dark scientist around the throat and drove him against the wall, her body shivering with the depth of emotion coursing through her blood…<br><br>“You will repair her… you will bring me back my Elohim, or else I will obliterate… <em>everything</em>” she hissed and then released him and dropped to the side of the mechanical maiden, cradling her once more, her fingers gently brushing the golden strands of hair from her cheek and feeling the soft chill of her flesh and the spearing ice of the fluid that leaked from her frame…The laboratories were given to concentrated activity, but all this was lost on Corrine, her eyes were fixed upon her, as her mind reached to the quiet heart that lay within her.<br><br>“I cannot… will not let you go…” a tear slipped from her and sizzled against the flow of quicksilver leaking deeply from within her…<br><br>Corrine knew the depths of pain, she could reach out to every single tortured soul as it was twisted through the writhing energy of the planet… but this was far more than she could bear, far more than she wanted to feel… she felt weakened by it, emotionally taut, and there was one who sought to take advantage of it…<br><br>Corrine felt the faint blistering touch of the Mayan within her…<br><br><em>…. Faint fingers lay across her shoulders, a familiar presence… one that never left her.&nbsp; “You know the wealth of pain child, we both do…” her caress continued… “What matter is the world to you, you are linked to the tides of the planet… imagine the peace you would have once every living thing is purged and consigned to oblivion. The true age of transition”<br><br>Corrine sighed softly… “I do not want to feel <em>this</em> pain…”<br><br>“Then release me my child…allow me to walk this earth in your stead…” she continued to caress and soothe the tempest&nbsp; &nbsp;“What have they done to deserve your <em>mercy</em>...” the ancient reached out and brushed her fingers against her cheek, there was the faint soft sizzle as the heat of her touch turned the tears rolling down her cheek into vapour. “For too long we have found ourselves at odds… but I know your darkest dreams, your hidden hate… I could give you the eternity of peace that you seek, an eternity you can spend in your chambers sealed from the dead planet… you would not have to be alone…”&nbsp; </em><br><br>Corrine felt both of their gazes shift to the sight of Elohim as the technicians began to furiously work about her… <br><br><em>Corrine looked back into the flaming orbs of the ancient Mayan, she felt her resolve weaken a little.&nbsp; This world had bought her nothing but pain… and now the greatest pain of all crushed through her as she stood and watched the sculptured form of the one thing in this world that gave her peace...<br><br>“Fate and death child… both are inescapable… both embody me.”<br><br>Softly Corrine nodded… “Perhaps….” Her voice trailed off a little… her eyes flicked up at the ancient Mayan goddess… a madness beginning to seep into the piercing pools of azure that had once been able to hold her back, now she wasn’t sure if she even wanted to anymore… </em><br><br>Her mind pulled back into the conscious and kept a sharp vigil on the technicians working around her.&nbsp; She felt her mind drift to the dark secret within her chambers that contained ‘both’ of their hearts… she closed her eyes and felt the soft trickle of a tear feather across her cheek…<br>

				Frankie walked over to the generator, opening it up as he reached into it, disconnecting wires until finally he pulled out a single part.&nbsp; A small orb, about an inch across, mostly red, with violet lines streaking across it.&nbsp; Frankie turned to Sayuri, turning the orb a bit in his hands.&nbsp; "To fully repair the machine that your friend damaged, the horde is going to need a Minerva transistor like this one.&nbsp; I certainly hope that they have the technology to make another, even if I've never seen them show any evidence."<br><br>Frankie casually tossed the glass orb over his shoulder with great force, sending it hurling towards oblivion.&nbsp; He smiled at Sayuri, waiting to see how she would react.&nbsp; The job of any good warrior was to find people's weaknesses, then ruthlessly exploit them.&nbsp; It would be a good lesson to someone who considered magic "cheating."

"Portals? you mean that thing that took those two away? How can you think that portals are showing up just because of me when it's quiet obvious that they could have the same capability. Honestly sir... Do you really know all their powers? They seemed very capable of defending theirselves against you alone if you ask me, why would I help some killing machines anyways?"

				Frankie flew gracelessly through the air, landing with a heap on what appeared to be the remnants of a British phone booth excavated by Elohim's Malakh.&nbsp; It wasn't bigger on the inside.&nbsp; Frankie rose slowly to his feet, shards of glass sticking into his back as more ichor ran out of his body.&nbsp; Really, at this point, he could barely stand, but the last thing he could do was show weakness.<br><br>He walked forward with confidence, his jaws dripping more of his ichor like some beast from hell.&nbsp; He retracted the fangs to speak, deciding that his only real hope of replenishing himself was to finish this battle as quickly as he could.&nbsp; "Is this all a game to you?&nbsp; What are you doing?&nbsp; Giving up an advantage in the middle of a deadly fight?"&nbsp; Frankie's eyes blazed with defiance, showing no hint of his weakness as he surged forward, Barreling at her in a very clearly telegraphed haymaker.<br><br>...Which turned out to be exactly what he was doing, as he slammed into his opponent with the force of a freight train, cracking the bones of the fallen nearby as the dirt of the battlefield exploded outward, sending cracks through the earth towards the hole Frankie had dug earlier.

				Dorian cursed as Sayuri's slash almost severed him in half as well. If the creature had held him any tighter it no doubt would have. Falling on his arse, the immortal general rolls away from Frankie as he sprouts rows of fangs and grabs for Sayuri. <strong>"Damn you." </strong> He curses as he fingers the fire selection switch on his borrowed rifle to full automatic.<br><br>"<strong>Hey, klosterkirche! You do not have a train this time, Heir munster." </strong> He smiles as he flips to his feet. <strong>"Now die!" </strong> He begins to unleash burst after burst at Frankies head as he marches reselutly towards him. The hyper velocity slugs ripping great chunks of flesh from the behemouth as he targets weaker vital points. Then Dorian remembers the generator.<br><br>With a low growl of satisfaction, he spins firing a long spray into the ancient construct Frankie was leading them to. Watching in satisfaction as bits of metal spin free from it surface and rip through and out the other side.

				Sayuri's eyes's widened as Frankie suddenly came barreling at her, letting out a soft squeak as she felt herself being grabbed from behind and out of reach of the man by Dorian.<br><br>It seemed her luck was getting a bit better as of late. Sayuri had to stop herself from turning and punching Dorian. She was seriously annoyed with him at the moment as she glared towards him then back at Frankie.<br><br>"It is a game to me, everything is a game to me. Your lives are all some little stupid game to me. I have a choice, I can either destroy you right off, or play with you and make you suffer. I find it highly more satisfying to make you suffer." She grinned, baring her teeth at him, her opalescent eyes glimmering in amusement. <br><br>"Besides, you forget yourself. I can always bring it back at will, and that's the weakness you trully show, you highly underestimate us." She pointed out.<br><br>"hmm.." She glanced to Dorian. "Have fun, hope you don't die!" She giggles sarcastically, opening a portal behind her. She pushed off from the ground and allowed herself to drift back into the portal before it disappeared with her.

Disgusted he tosses the spent rifle to the ground.<br><br>Dorian grins as he is left alone with the weakened monster. "Now we dance again, abomination." Pulling his twin .45 pistols he aims at the creature, unleashing round after round in a hail of gunfire.

				Frankie took the high caliber bullets into his face, quickly finding himself blinded by Dorian's furious onslaught. &nbsp;On the other hand, he didn't need sight exclusively. &nbsp;"Fe Fi &nbsp;Fo Fum. &nbsp;I &nbsp;smell the blood of an Englishman." &nbsp;Frankie lowered himself into a charge, thinking the founding fathers of the United States that he'd been built durable enough to survive a couple of high caliber bullets. &nbsp;<br><br>He drew closer to Dorian, flailing wildly at him to pull the pistols off target as he threw the ultimate soldier on his side, hoping to get him sprawled out with very few options. &nbsp;"Your blood doesn't smell English, James. &nbsp;Smells more...

				Dorian rolled to the side coming to a stop near a scrape of metal. Reaching over the immortal wrenched the front plate of some armored vehicle free as he scrambled to his feet. <strong>"Greek?" </strong> Dorian snorts as he circles the monster. <strong>"I have not claimed a province in ages my proverbial Adam."</strong> He waves the plate before him, hoping to guess how the creature could still detect him.<br><br><strong>"So how does it feel to be a proud papa, eh? Or rather to know that there is now an Eve for you out there, and that I just ended her." </strong> Dorian chuckles as he tosses the plate to the right.

				Frankie listened to Dorian's words, finding himself somewhat mystified by the metal clang.&nbsp; "Are you bringing up the Frankenstein thing again?"&nbsp; Frankie yelled, surging forward towards the sound of Dorian's voice.&nbsp; People made noise during battle, it was a fact of life.&nbsp; Hearing loss is an occupational hazard of a soldier.&nbsp; But Frankie was different, he could repair his eardrums to full effectiveness after each battle, giving him his own unique strength.&nbsp; <br><br>Frankie tackled Dorian, pushing him over the edge into the dark underground pit where his vision would be of no advantage.&nbsp; "It's not the artificial constructs who are the sexually frustrated ones you know."&nbsp; Frankie shouted mockingly as he disappeared into the darkness, his mechanical body making less and less noise each second.&nbsp;

				Dorian smiles as the creature wrappes its arms around him and they flew into the open hole to the underground sewers of London. <strong>"Really? You don't think she is better than you? More powerful, beautiful, hell I understand she even has all her bits." </strong> He laughs manically as they fall into the inky black depths, his sword unsheathes from his sleeve as they fall.<br><br><strong>"Now really.

The smile never leaving his lips as he croaked, <strong>"Jealous?"</strong><br><br>His reflex to inhale was problematic, but he did not need to breath anymore than he could starve to death. Of coarse he did need air to speak. Twisting the hilt of the sword, he tugged the blade to the side nicking his own jugular as it passed from the monster's hand. Dorian's crimson blood spurted twice, splashing across Frankie's face before the wound closed.<br><br>With a flash the blade shown in the dim light of the creatures runes. Severing the monsters hands at the wrists. With a grunt Dorian planted both feet on the monster's chest and kicked away from his grasp.

				Dorian sent ripples along the surface of the water as he crawled along the bottom of the channel. Only surfacing long enough to check on the creature. He smiles as he slinks further into the water. Standing in the waist deep fluid he chuckles, <strong>"Run away? Why ever would I do that? Death is not the greatest of evils, my friend. It is worse to want to die, and not be able to. Everyone dies but me. I truely live not bound by the laws of man."</strong> He wipes some of the murky water from his face. <strong>"And you? You have nothing but your hollow duty. Such an inadequate life."</strong><br><br><strong>"Do you crave the release of the grave? Or just the release of the chains of morality that have bound you since your birth?"</strong> He laughs as he raises his sword in mock salute to the abomination. <strong>"Allow me to be your serpent then Adam.

A rift began to grow, a slice in the very fabrics of the universe sliding across thin air.<br><br>Then the rift began to grow, slowly opening much like an eye would, causing a feeling of dread to consume those near by. The men slowly turned around , the hair's on the back of their necks standing on end from the energy resonating from the obstruction. <br><br>Out of the rift appeared a young woman, familiar to both Dorian and Frankie, though not to the men. She seemed to have changed, this time she wore a blood red trench coat over plan black skin tight pants and a skin tight shirt.<br><br>Her hair was tied up this time into a high pony tail that cascaded in waves down to her mid back. "Now now, you really don't think I'd just abandon a comrade, did you? Especially when there's so much fun to be had!" She grinned, curling her fingers around the hilt of her sword.<br><br>The men gasped and turned on her, they're eyes wide as they rose their Arches. On instinct they attacked, flaring the large amounts of electricity her way in thundering bolts.<br><br>Her grin merely widened as she instantly unsheathed her Seigyokuken, holding it out infront of her as if it were some form of shield. The bolts were instantly attracted the metal within her blade, curling around the blade as it tingled and sparked with the electricity. Slowly the blast began to dissipate&nbsp; &nbsp;as it was soaked within the blade, the energy being consumed.<br><br>"Retched morons..." She hissed softly before raising the blade back over her head, the random sparks and tiny bolts resonating along the blade once more. "die.." She whispered before slicing her blade straight back down.<br><br>Suddenly a large ball of energy that was once the same they had thrown at her appeared, this time intensified 2 fold. The ball of energy flew at them, crashing into their forms as they let out loud shouts and screams of agony, the electricity eating away and disintegrating their flesh, hair, eyes and bodies slowly. It was not a good way to die at all and all Sayuri could do the whole time was grin in satisfaction.

Dorian gave you the option." She then pouted fakely. "But now you're on your last knee, and because of that you've resorted to begging.

Besides, I'm not in the mood to add you in, nor do I want to be betrayed later on. It's rather cute that you think you're so important to us. We will not call off the attack.

				Frankie smiled and vanished off into the tunnels, inserting his hand into his face and pulling out one of Dorian's bullets.&nbsp; The man seemed to have retreated once Sayuri got down to business.&nbsp; Frankie applauded his wisdom.&nbsp; Frankie began to feverishly carve alchemical sigils into the blackened walls of the tunnel, running as quickly as he could to complete the sigils at an inhuman rate.&nbsp; <br><br><em>"Two Minutes!"</em>&nbsp; Sayuri called, driving Frankie to work faster.<br><br>45 seconds later, the tunnel had the proper lines of force and alchemic sigils drawn into it.&nbsp; The next part would be the most difficult, Frankie reflected, as he stood at the center of the dark tunnel, holding a depleted uranium bullet in his claw.&nbsp; As Sayuri began her countdown, Frankie inserted a claw into his chest and ripped himself in half, spilling huge amounts of ichor and mostly digested organs on the walls and floor of the tunnel.&nbsp; Frankie dissolved into dust as he tore his body to pieces, providing the necessary sacrifice to finish the ritual.<br><br>Millions of years of geologic and manmade processes began to work their magic inside the tunnel, transforming residual organic matter first into saturated hydrocarbons, and then further into high explosives.&nbsp; Meanwhile, the walls of the tunnel flaked off like falling snow, and forged themselves into obsidian knives and steel blades, forming themselves into a rain of flechettes suspended in a medium of nitroglycerin.&nbsp; The area of packed earth above the ancient sewer cracked and weakend, turning into a barely present lid on the boiling kettle of death Frankie had created.<br><br>Through the sacrifice of his body, Frankie transformed a section of the underground into one huge bomb, waiting to give Sayuri a nasty suprise when she went and set it off.&nbsp; Frankie's spirit retreated into the earth, already looking for components to transform into a new body as he sought cover.&nbsp; He had no illusions of the bomb being able to kill Sayuri, but with any luck, she would be weakened and forced to retreat, or at least made weak enough for the rest of the DPDS to be able to handle.

				The hair on the back of Sayuri's neck stood on end as power reverberated within the air. He was up to something..she knew it. Slowly her eyes narrowed as she stopped her count down just 3 seconds shy of one. Walking to the edge of the hole, she glanced down, not seeing any sign of the man.<br><br>"Hmm.... Did he retreat?" She chuckled softly. "That's quiet possible, but I doubt he'd leave these people to die." <br><br>She then started to circle around the hole slowly, grinning like a mad man. "What are you up to Frankie? Do you really think I'm stupid? I know you can hear me..." She called, knowing full well that he could hear her even if he had dissolved himself into the ground, thanks to his earlier show of catching Dorian off guard.<br><br>Slowly she drug the tip of her Seigyokuken along the hole, engraving a large circle outline around it. Then the circle began to shimmer and turn a dark purple. "Hmmm..." She thought silently. That wasn't exactly the result she was looking for.<br><br>Shrugging her shoulders, she turned and walked away from the hole. At first it may have seemed as though she were leaving, but then she stopped a few paces away and turned around. Raising the blade above her head in a fluid movement, the blue tinted katana began to spark and glow just as it had when she had turned that electrical attack back on those soldiers.<br><br>Then she pushed off of the ground, sailing into the air well over 100 feet above the large hole. Suddenly the energy that surrounded the blade started to twist and change, turning a dark malevolent blue, her opalescent eyes glowing almost the same color.<br><br>"Oh Well, might as well keep my promise." She purred before bringing the blade down. <br><br>She slice the blade through the air at a 135 degree angle. A large crescent of energy materialized from thin air to rush down to the ground, slicing an even large hole that was roughly 50 feet long, 10 feet wide and who knew how deep . As the attack crashed through the roof of the sewer, a large cloud of dust and debris flew into the air, covering her line of sight as she began to descend back to the ground.<br><br>Suddenly there was a rumbling sound and a flash of light, causing her to shield her eyes with her arm as she gasped softly. 'That's not from my attack....' she thought as her stomach dropped.<br><br>Then there was a large explosion beneath just as she was 20 feet from the ground. She let out a cry of alarm as a cloud of fire and debris came flying towards her. Quickly she opened a portal out in front of her just as the first cloud mixed of large rock and fire hit her.<br><br>The portal sucked her in, along with a good amount of the crap surrounding her before closing and disappearing. She didn't seem to return after that, and nor would she for a while at least.<br>

				Dorian retreated beneath the murky water as Sayuri arrived. <em>'Fine then, let the bitch handle the monster. Besides I'm all out of ammo,'</em> he chuckled and watched from the shadows. Using the lessons of the Izume Ninja clan he stayed hidden. Watching the abomination devour the corpse and weapons of his erst while allies to heal himself he had to admit was intregueing. When he used alchemy to alter the molecular structure of the tunnel however, Dorian knew it was time to go. The goddess was miffed and would not stop without falling for the golem's trap. Muttering the ancient mantra, he shifted across the dimensional boundries.

				Frankie's trap had created a massive crater within Elohim's crater, nearly two hundred feet deep at its bottom.&nbsp; DPDS agents circled the site, combing through it for wreckage and artifacts.&nbsp; Several hours passed, and Frankie rebuilt his body from scratch.&nbsp; The hulking form awakened beneath the earth, and began to slowly dig its way to the surface, tearing through the dirt of the world until finally a massive undead hand poked through, followed by a massive explosion of dirt as the leviathan of the DPDS awoke from his grave.<br><br>"I live."&nbsp; Frankie announced, brushing himself off and exiting the bottom of the crater.&nbsp; "Again."&nbsp; He corrected, remembering the many times he had done this.&nbsp; He waved to the DPDS soldiers as he casually walked out of the crater, making his way quickly to the Skyrangers so he could just return to the Citadel and relax.&nbsp; London was still standing, that meant that the threat was over for now.&nbsp; The rest of the situation was a job for officers.&nbsp; Frankie began to contemplate his future, now that the entire Brood of the Abyss wanted to kill him.&nbsp; He was still going to live forever, of course, but he might just need to bankrupt the Smithsonian to do so.

				Bandaids were covering her arm and legs, applied unevenly across her arms. She had stuck them to her feet and legs before getting dressed. There was one across the bridge of her nose. A small round bandaid stuck to the center of her forehead. Under her jeans she could feel the two huge bandages she had pasted over her knees. Her worn tote bag was filled with boxes of them. She used the cloth bandages wrapped around her fingers to wipe the dust off her forehead as she crawled over a pile of cement debris, avoiding the rusted iron bars sticking out from the rubble. She crawled into an abandoned subway station, the hole into the underground village, and found the tent of her buyer. It had been a while since she had anything to eat and she hoped her recent find could provide her some sustenance.<br><br>"Hey, I got something for you." she said to a man who was sitting on a small dirty rug surrounded by shelves and piles of items.<br><br>The bag was thrown in his lap, and he quietly examined the boxes insides before slowly turning and pulling a few ready to eat meals from a stack and placing them on a small milk crate.<br><br>"That's it!?" Misty groaned.<br><br>"That's it, these are fairly worthless items, but if you tell me where you found the stockpile, I'll give you another meal." <br><br>He grinned as Misty's stomach gave out a loud groan. There was really know choice, she couldn't eat a pile of boxes with little sticky pieces of cloth in them, but she could eat a meal package. Fine, she told him, even drawing a bit of an ugly map as best she could. She was illiterate and really didn't know what most of the things she found were anyway, but she was very good at finding things, and taking them. She ran out of the underground village with her meals and found her way to the shore. She stumbled over the rotted remains of wooden structure, sitting on the high side of a bench with two legs as she stuffed the cold meal down her throat. She did know how to use the fork provided for herself, as she hated messy fingers. Underneath her foot was a metal billboard that read: Atlantic City, there wasn't much left on it that wasn't worn away.<br><br>It was odd, very odd, she remembered that scroll forcing its way down her throat, and wondered what it was possibly doing inside her. Nothing had happened to her yet, so she figured it would probably go the same way everything else she ate did. Still, the thought of that thing in her stomach freaked her out, she had to stop thinking in order to eat.<br>

				Frankie gathered up the remains of the Tesla Generator, miraculously spared by the explosion.&nbsp; Frankie set down the heap in the middle of the Skyranger and walked over to the pilot, leaning his oversized frame against the walls of the cockpit as he watched the man make his preflight checks.&nbsp; "We'll be having to make a stop in New Jersey before we can go back to the Citadel.&nbsp; The Smithsonian won't like the destruction of the coil, but we might just mollify them if we can get some extra parts to repair it out of the Menlo Park research lab.&nbsp; Lets go ahead and run a mercy mission to the Atlantic City base camp while we're at it."&nbsp; Frankie announced, watching as the copilot started feverishly rerouting the course of the aircraft.&nbsp; <br><br>Frankie exited the plane and grabbed several pallets of food from the local warehouse.&nbsp; He waved to the local guard, who seemed none too happy about having a large portion of his village's food and medicine being taken for military use.&nbsp; But, that was the business.&nbsp; You transferred things around to get things done, and the food and medicine became more of a currency of goodwill than an actual&nbsp; means to help anyone.&nbsp; At any rate, the wizards of Menlo Park would be greatly pleased at hearing that their base camp would be made more secure.&nbsp; Atlantic City was physically one of the most secure base camps in the world, thanks to its combination of radioactive craters surrounding it and high output Tesla coils powering one of the most elaborate fortifications short of the citadel.&nbsp; Yet those same things that defended it also made it constantly subject to famine and internal violence.&nbsp; Frankie knew that the residents of London wouldn't like it, but Atlantic City really needed those supplies more.

She wasn't first in line, but she found herself in the first wave, crowds were rare and dangerous, but she was capable of worming her way through to the front so she could hold her hands out.... for a hand out.

				Frankie got to his feet as the jet came to a landing.&nbsp; These sorts of landings were a dangerous business.&nbsp; If you didn't hand out free gifts as you exited the plane, you'd be torn limb from limb by the desperate throngs of humanity.&nbsp; Especially in Jersey.&nbsp; Frankie grabbed a single pallet of rations from the stockpile.&nbsp; He didn't want to have to go running back to the plane to get more food to escape an angry horde; that was how one ended up getting torn limb from limb.<br><br>Frankie opened up the door of the Skyranger and stepped out, smiling as the MP's pushed back the first wave of the crowd.&nbsp; They wouldn't be able to do anything if Frankie passed on without giving any handouts though.&nbsp; At least not in Jersey.&nbsp; Frankie began to pull packets from his supply and throw them out into the crowd, handing more packets to those in front.&nbsp; A girl pushed her way to the front of the crowd and caught Frankie's eye.&nbsp; She was covered in bandages, and as he handed a ration to her, he was reminded of a girl from his past.&nbsp; Just then, something strange began to happen.&nbsp; The bandage covered girl's hair began to turn into a mess of mottled colors, red, black, and blue being most prominent.&nbsp; Frankie stopped in his tracks, looking at the strange girl.&nbsp; Transforming hair color was a lower class mystical ability, but Frankie had never heard of it before...&nbsp; As Frankie thought, a metal stud pushed its way through the girl's nose, as her face changed slightly.&nbsp; Frankie's heart nearly skipped a beat.&nbsp; Whatever this girl had, it was something important.

				Misty didn't even notice that her hair was changing color, she was too busy protecting her grub. Not that she would have noticed to quickly anyway. The important thing was to get as much as you could safely protect and get out of the crowd in a hurry. It was better to get one or two good meals than to take to much, have it taken from you, and have nothing. She didn't even notice the metal stud that pushed it's way out of the left side of her nose though she could see it out the corner of her eye. She came from a philosophy of grab the grub and run, so as soon as she received the handout, she made her way through the crowd strategically, ripping off some old mans meal as he tried to make his way out of the crowd. Stealing from others on the way back was a decent way of doubling or tripling her food supply, she just had to be careful not to get greedy, hungry as she was.

				Three collections of charity rations were in her arms, she couldn't help but clutch them within her arms. She saw the pallet land, but wasn't about to get more than she could run away with. The crowd around her prevented her from making a clean getaway. It might have been considered luck that the thump of a pallet landing cleared the crowd from her, but she was so busy protecting her her food and absent mindedly assuming a crowd in her hunger that she didn't take the opportunity to leave right away. Normally, it wouldn't have been a big deal except for the big guy within range approaching her from behind. She sensed she was caught, clutching her three parcels. She turned to face the... really big guy.<br><br>"errrmmmmmm........" <br><br>Shock out of the way, her excuse popped up in her head. <br><br>"I'm sorry mister, I have a really big family to feed, so please don't take my extra rations, they're for my sick father and one legged brother."<br><br>She blinked cutely, he was probably a big old softy, she could use that.

				Her pants folded together quickly into a skirt that shank until it was about knee high, the bandages on her legs spread out, becoming black silk and connecting into long black web stockings. Her boots shrunk to and became black, all that remained at the top was a shiny black leather straps for small black leather strap shoes she was wearing. Her halter top lengthened, blackened and connected to her pants as waves of black lace and webbing began to line the hem of her garment. With a single swish her dress blossomed outwards, her sleeves puffing out. Webbed gloves grew from her sleeves and wrapped the back of her hand, leaving her fingers loose.<br><br>There was a slight awakening. She looked at her pale narrow fingers, her hands so pale they weren't her own any longer. Worse, she was burning, waves of pain over her skin. She smelt something, a wrist in front of her mouth, an open blood vessel, and bit deeply before even thinking. She drank until she felt sated, yet a bit dizzy at the same time, and withdrew from the wound, falling on her hands and knee's.<br><br>"I don't understand, what the fuck! Could it be the scroll?"<br><br>She was panting, sweating visibly, and started to moan out loud. She felt an intense buzz as she stared at her gloved hands and looked down at her black lacy dress. She shot up on her knees, arching her back and screaming in a tremendously high pitch reverberation with her fangs bared.<br><br>"What the hell is happening to me!"<br><br>The power in her voice was shaking the warehouse, it felt like the ground was trembling.

" <br><br>No sooner than she asked those questions than Misty found herself rubbing her dress over the crotch. She moaned suddenly, her cheeks going flush. She had only had sex one time in her life, and that was a brutal rape that left her cold to her bodily impulses. These feelings, her intense desire to masturbate, she hadn't felt anything like this in five years. She was hot, blindingly hot. Moans echoed as she rolled around on the floor, flushed and moaning. She rolled into Frankie's direction, her left hand lifting her dress as dug inside her already wet panties, her other squeezing and massaging her left breast. Finally, she ended up on her back, lost in fondling herself and moaning loudly. If she had sensed some heat from her captor, she would have been all over him.

				Frankie smiled and stepped closer to the girl.&nbsp; This was the sort of behavior he expected from vampires; they were always delightfully lost within themselves.&nbsp; He leaned down to the flushed girl and slowly placed his hands under her, lifting her body to his chest.&nbsp; The heat of her body warmed him as the leather of his arms and breast soon became warm and supple, providing the girl with a bed to pleasure herself on.&nbsp; Frankie rocked the girl slowly, hiking up her skirt as his hand crept into her panties.<br><br>"Just relax and relieve yourself.&nbsp; You'll feel a lot better when you're done."&nbsp; Frankie whispered to her, peeling her panties off of her legs and guiding her hands to better pleasure herself.&nbsp; The girl was inexperienced, but she was very enthusiastic.&nbsp; He pulled her closer, wrapping her up in his flesh as she worked.&nbsp; His skin trapped the hormones she was giving off and echoed them back to her, making her even hotter through feedback as she became more and more relaxed and horny.&nbsp; With any luck, she'd finish and become quite enamoured of the old Golem, bonded by pleasure.

She wasn't very experienced at dong this, and the bombardment of stimulation made her curl her body and rock back and forth before she cried out loud, louder and louder until she almost roaring. An explosion of liquid soaked her panties and dress before her heat faded into exhaustion. Her head fell limp into his chest as her hands fell away from herself.

				Her exhaustion exacerbated by the hormones flooding her body, she fall into a deep sleep. the vampire would not wake up for several hours, more than enough time to get wherever he was going. There was no way Frankie could know she was quite the escape artist, but there was no escaping when you were dead tired and couldn't wake up. The sleep would do her good though, she needed it. All the bumping and jostling of the road served to cradle her. The worst Frankie would hear was a bit of snoring and a lot of mumbling from Misty as they neared Menlo Park.

				Almost as if activated by his touch, her breathing sharpened and her eyes opened. At first sleepily, but it only took a few seconds for that to clear up. She felt as if all the sleep was willed out of her.

What are you going to do with me!?"<br><br>She shrugged her shoulders, ripping the sleeves of her lacy Gothic dress if she had too, trying to jump away from the behemouth. She was quite a slippery thing, and the vampire strength and agility she'd been bestowed with didn't help matters.<br><br>"I won't steal food again! I swear, I swear! I'll never ever ever do it again! Now get off me, Leggo! Leggo of me now you big perverted monster!"<br><br>She bit down on her lip with her fang, drawing blood from a deep puncture, something an experienced vampire almost never does.<br><br>"Owwwww!" she cried, waving her head, "Why the hell am I dressed like this, and why the hell do I have vampire fangs!?"

				The shield doesn't break, he presses it out against the chain, so that he has room to move his other arm as it wraps around him.&nbsp; It bites his back and scrapes his wings, he grimaces a bit, but it was just pain.&nbsp; Pain happens.<br><br>Dropping the shotgun to the ground, he swiftly grabs the neck of his guitar.&nbsp; It glows a bright red, and screams, the shape of the neck and body twisting as the light erupts.&nbsp; Flame coats it briefly, and when it recedes, he holds an axe, big and sharp and brutal, with two blades that fan out like terrible wings.<br><br>Slashing his arm downward, the blade bites the chain around him, and snaps it with the barest stroke.<br><br>"Tough girl, huh?" he swoops in, leading with his glorious golden shield.

She muttered, not really to him, more complaining to herself.<br><br>As he swooped in towards her, she swept herself into the air, launching away from him. She didn't really want to unleash her katana yet, she wanted to wait before using the big guns.<br><br>As the chain shriveled back into a regular silver necklace, she dropped it, lifting the free hand to gold and silver leaf hair pin, that has sapphire gemstones at it's tips. As she removed it, the pin transformed, changing into that of a small cannon. She held the large cannon looking gun in both hands as she aimed for the man with a smirk.<br><br>"DIE... " She giggled softly, as though this were a game to her. Suddenly he could see, from within the barrel, a shimmering silvery sapphire light began to collect before it pushed forward, the blast roughly two times large then his own body and shield. The gun cocked back, throwing her further back into the air as she landed upon an adjoining roof top, watching as the large energy blast closed in on the man in a matter of seconds. If it hit, it may not harm him, but such a blast would certain cause his shield to buckle and dissipate.

The air around the man rifted and squirmed as the portal opened within his very barrier.

				The observer would look to the woman like she had lost her mind, if anything else he would shake his head as he growled slightly his crimson eyes flashing with his anger as he would move to knock the sword from her hands if he had to using Ketsuekikiba to clash powers with the womans sword.&nbsp; He was livid as the push from her would very much agitate him as he spun around to kick her hard in the middle of her stomach and drive her backwards across the rooftop. <br><br>He didnt care who she was but a soul was a soul right, and he was going to have her once he took down the winged warrior from his perch.&nbsp; He would turn and square off with the being in the air as he quickly ran across the rooftop towards his foe.&nbsp; His eyes trained on him as he dragged Ketsuekikiba alongside of him causing sparks to fly and the sword to glow red.

				When Okami kicked her, causing her to fall back and skid across the roof top, she growled loudly. Wincing, she got to her feet, still panting from the exertion&nbsp; and pain that racked through her small body.<br><br>"Damn him.." She muttered before racing after him. She caught up to him quickly, stopping before him, forcing him to skid to a halt. Her right hand lashed forward, curling around the wolf man's throat as she pushed him back against a wall, pinning him on the roof top against a shed.<br><br>"Listen to me dammit. Would get out of my way. I'm not here to fight you asshole. I'm here to recruit you and help you on your way to becoming a full demon." She hissed softly, narrowing her opalescent eyes upon him, hoping to gain his attention with that.

				The Marrgun was kicked off of her, soon after being picked up, she groaned softly, curling up in his arms unconsciously. She was obviously in pain, if she were still human, she would no doubt be dead.<br><br>Her nose was quiet obviously broken, but that was the least of her problems. The shot gun wounds had not closed completely, the little metal pellets still embedded in her skin. Along her lower back from right, down to her left hip was a large ominous gash, ripped and disfigured from his freaks axe and extra attention to it afterwards. Her clothing and body was soaked in blood, drying to cake over her pale skin.<br><br>When he set her down against the tree, she groaned again and rolled over so that she was laying on her stomach. It hurt to press her back against it. Only a few hours later did she begin to stir.<br><br>Blinking slowly, she glanced around her. She was in the middle of a Forest..? How had she gotten here, and where was Murrgan and Okami? Looking to the side, she noticed Okami, laying back against a tree and she sighed softly in relief. Atleast he made it alive, he looked to be sleeping.<br><br>Yet, how had they gotten there? Did she transport them here and forget about it? "ugg..." She groaned softly as she tried to move.<br><br>"Dammit.." She grumbled, he was still to damned tired. <br><br>Sniffing the air lightly, she could smell a stream near by. Her mouth felt dry..and her skin dirty.. she hated both feelings. She could deal with the blood, but the caked dirt made her nauseous.<br><br>So the need to be clean over road the pain and lack of muscular power at the moment. Twitching her fingers lightly, she summoned a portal, forcing it to guide over her form and the form of Okami's. She wasn't going to leave him behind to have to track him again.<br><br>When the portal reopened, she fell directly into the stream, soon after the portal quickly moving to a try near by and depositing Okami back against it until he re-awoken. <br><br>"Ahhh.. c-cold...but so..soothing" she purred, laying in the shallow stream as water soaked into her clothes and hair, causing a cloud of red and bloody water to rise around her body and flow down the stream.<br><br>She let the water wash over her form, groaning softly as it began to work at her aching muscles, washing away the caked and dirty blood from her body, causing the clothing she wore to cling to the every dip and curve of her petite form.<br><br>"Mmm... Kyubi.." she muttered, calling one of the fledglings that was supposed to be her follower, someone that took care of her needs.<br><br>A puff of smoke appeared not far from Okami, at the edge of the river bank. "Yes mistress? Oh dear! You're hurt!" He exclaimed in his high pitched squeaky voice.<br><br>"Hah.. no shit. I'd like you to get me some bandages and pain killers, also some pain killers for mister Okami over there. Some food would be nice too." She muttered. He bowed lightly and disappeared soon after.<br><br>Once he was gone, Sayuri realized that she didn't have her Seigyokuken. Sitting up suddenly, she glanced around frantically before waving her hand out before her. Suddenly an object came rippling into view on the palm of her hand, stretching and reforming. It was her Katana, thankfully she had learned to summon it back to her form ages ago.<br><br>Sighing softly int relief, she tossed the katana to the river bank and she went back to washing herself, waiting for the fledgling to show back up, as well as for Okami to awaken.

				Okami would rest there slowly healing himself up as Sayuri went to summon her sword as well as wash herself.&nbsp; He seemed all but lifeless as Sayuri's servant went to tend to her needs.&nbsp; But when he came towards Okami he was in for a nasty surprise.&nbsp; Before he could even tend to the young warrior's wounds a hand would shoot to the follower's neck clamping down his claws on his neck as crimson eyes shot open and his lips curled back in a snarl as he narrowed his eyes.&nbsp; <br><br>"Who are you!?"&nbsp; He said in a low tone of gutteral growling voice as he held the being by the throat and off the ground easily.&nbsp; He was not pleased one bit that the fight had taken alot out of him nor that it had detoured him from his ultimate goal.&nbsp; To top things off some pest was trying to touch him or steal his sword from him, and that just would not do at all.&nbsp; <br><br>Okami had not yet noticed Sayuri bathing in the waters as his eyes were completely focused upon the demon before him.

				Sayuri scowled gently, glancing to Okami from her bathing place. "His name is Kyubi, He's my 'Assistant', if you will. He's a lower level grunt, meant to tend to my needs and wants. And right now, I need you to let go of him so that he can give you some pain killers and take care of any wounds you have." She mutters.<br><br>Gently she pulled her shirt up and over her head, throwing it to the side. She didn't seem to care all that much about whether Okami could see her or not. Her back was to him however, not revealing any thing to private, just soft smooth skin and a large bloody bandage wrapped around her waist and lower back.<br><br>She seemed to have a knife in her right hand, digging the tip into random wounds within her body. All relatively small, though these were where the shot gun pellets had hit. At first she would hiss softly as she dug the lead balls from inside her skin and muscle, but after a while she didn't even flinch.<br><br>"If you're hungry, Kyubi will retrieve what ever it is that you wish for. We can easily summon you any dish you'd like. We serve a wide rang of people, from vegetarians to cannibals." She muttered, not looking to him this time.

				Okami would narrow his eyes towards Sayuri and would toss Kyubi away from him with a scowl "I dont need your pain killers much less your grunt touching me."&nbsp; He said as he stood up slowly and through the tattered rags it was plain to see that the wounds which he had suffered within the battle were slowly healing and knitting themselves up.&nbsp; <br><br>His eyes would watch her as he stood there resheathing his blade and putting it aside. "I can hunt for my own dinner, and i dont eat humans they are too grizzly and fattening, i prefer my hunts lean and vibrant."&nbsp; He said as he walked towards the stream to bend down and wash his clothing as well as his body off.&nbsp; He would keep his eyes upon the woman as he grunted "You know I could have taken him by myself if you didnt get in the way."&nbsp; He said to her keeping his comments at a neutral tone "Why did you come for me in the first place, what am i to you and how do you propose of making my goal a reality?"

				Sayuri narrowed her eyes as she glanced at Okami over her shoulder. "For your info, I was fighting him first. So technically <strong>you</strong> got in the way." She said, finishing with a taunting smirk.<br><br>"Second, don't push around my pet, only I can do that. And I already know you can hunt and take care of yourself. No need to try proving yourself to me mister macho." She taunted further, turning to him with a grin. <br><br>Holding her shirt up to her front so that it blocked his view of her round breasts, the wet shirt clung to her like a second skin, hugging along her every dip and curve of her hourglass shape.<br><br>"So, why not just sit back and relax every once in a while? Why all work and no play? I came to help you to get to your goal faster. My <em>employer</em>" She emphasized. " wishes to employ you. They sent me because I have heightened senses much like yourself. It would be easier for me to track you down, not to mention I enjoy the thrill of a hunt." She purred.<br><br>"Unlike myself however, they do not require your soul for such a thing. They just would like you to help them on the way to victory, in turn, giving you your wish. We kill 100's of innocents each day, thus why we thought having you around would be beneficial to both parties. You can kill to your liking, and not only will you get closer to your wish, you will be cared for. Feed, clothed, shelter. And we can make it to your liking, so if you'd want some solitary forest, we can just make one for you." She finished by rolling her eyes.<br><br>"We will make sure you are comfortable in every way, anything you want or need, we can give you. As long as you help us rid this planet of the humans." She said with a little devious smirk, her opalescent eyes never leaving his through the whole conversation.

				His crimson eyes would watch her as he growled lightly in the back of his throat.&nbsp; She went on like she knew him or something, but she didnt know that he didnt like help at all and really hated all of it.&nbsp; As it went against his want of being a demon fully fledged and everything, so why would he want help getting his hearts desires.&nbsp; <br><br><br>"You make an interesting offer girl, but i cant relax nor rest while i have this task before me," he said to her as he tilted his head lightly watching how the shirt would cling to her form before her.&nbsp; "You may enjoy the hunt, but to let you know I dont like being hunted, because Im the hunter," he would say to her as he walked towards her getting nose to nose.&nbsp; "I dont ask for anything and take everything that I want, and there isnt anything that you or your boss can say to make me change my mind," Okami smirked a little bit as he watched her eyes with his own.&nbsp; <br><br>"I live to kill, its all I want to do to become what I want to be, but if your wanting to help me hmmmmmmmm, I can only accept help from someone as strong as me, if your not strong then dont waste my fucking time," he would say as he stared into her eyes his nose mere inches from her own as his fangs could be easily seen poking out from under his lip.

				Sayuri allowed a smirk to slowly play across her pale pink lips. This man was certainly interesting. "I see..." She purred softly, leaning in closer, her lips mere centimeters from his. <br><br>"And what if I told you we could trick your sword into thinking it's eaten three times as many souls, and that each one is pure, no matter who you kill, innocent or not..." She whispered softly against his lips, her words coming out in a seductive purr. Certainly that would catch his attention...

				That was not the only thing to get his attention but it was the very first thing that was popping into his mind at the moment.&nbsp; "Three times as much, and how would you do that? cast a spell upon the blade of my forefather?" he would ask&nbsp; her as he leaned in close to her sniffing at her scent as his eyes locked with her own.<br><br>"What if i enjoy rending the flesh at my own pace, the sound of screams and begging for mercy that will never come," he asked sayuri as his lips would brush against her own and his hands would come up slowly along her sides his clawed like nails digging into her skin lightly.&nbsp; "What if I enjoy what I do and want to do it some more, I am immortal and have all the time in the world to do what I want, when I want."&nbsp; <br><br>"Maybe Ill just use your body to sate my desires of flesh and toss you to the side or keep you around just for fun," Okami would say to her as his eyes narrowed.&nbsp; "Or your's could be the first soul I penetrate with my sword to see if it works," he would say to sayuri indicating that he was not fully trusting or caring of her even in this sexual situation that they were in.&nbsp; He was bound and determined to become a demon, and he would not let it be known that he wanted nor needed anybodys help at all.

				Sayuri shivered lightly at the feeling of his claws dragging along her skin, her opalescent eyes moving to his. "Heh.. Wouldn't you enjoy rendering flesh at your own pace with your goal reached.. imagine the power you could gain.. the strength. You could leave your humanity behind forever and reach greatness with us. All we ask is that you do what you do best.."<br><br>Gently she stepped back, casting her eyes to his sword then back to his eyes once more. "The sword of your father will be unharmed, just enhanced to a greater liking of your own. But if you wish to penetrate me with it, it would not help you. I do not have a soul, and never will again. You would only serve in wounding another immortal... though it would be interesting to see if I could actually die from such a thing."<br><br>"And I am not so easy to subdue Okami... I have a mean fighting streak. If you think you can make me submit, then by all means, you are free to try." She purred, flashing him a mischievous grin. Her eyes flared with excitement , the thrill of a challenge. She so enjoyed a good challenge and if he was as strong as he claimed, she would only find it that much more thrilling.

No girl if you want a challenge then I am not it for i will make you submit to me, and there will not be a challenge."&nbsp; He said as he looked to her a moment before disrobing himself and standing naked before her "So, swords or hand to hand, either way I will show you that a half breed still packs a punch," he said as his eyes would glow a little more of that crimson glow in them.&nbsp; Truth be told he was excited as well as she was at the opportunity of a challenge.

Are you just trying to make me ruthless. Fortunately for you, I can not kill you. This does present a problem.. I can not go all out."<br><br>She shook her head lightly as she sauntered out of the water aswell, making her way to the river bank, her hips swaying from side to side with a natural grace.<br><br>Pulling the shirt back onto her form, she left her sword at the river bed where she had last placed it. "Hand to hand..." She replied, shifting her feet out slightly, bending her knee's for balance as she got into a defensive position.<br><br>Raising her hands up into fists just on either side of her face, to block and protect it, she grinned slowly. "We'll see what happens... " she purred as she gently ran her tongue along her upper lip, moistening them. <br>

She replied, her voice confident.<br><br>As he waved her into battle, she allowed her eyes to trail along his form, sizing him up. It wasn't a good idea to be the first attacker, but then again, she did have the element of surprise on her side.<br><br>Grinning slowly, she kicked off from the ground, racing head on with him. Just as she would have reached him, a portal appeared and she vanished along with it.<br><br>A few seconds would pass before another one would open just behind him. She touched ground and pressed her body to his, her chest to his back. She snaked an arm over his shoulders and curled her fingers around the crook of his neck while her other hand grasped around one of his wrists, twisting and pulling his hand behind his back.<br><br>"Surprise.." She purred softly against his neck, nipping gently at his ear tauntingly.

She glared up at him as he taunted her, she would not submit so easily, she would not submit to any ordinary man.<br><br>Moving to her feet, she strode towards him slowly, her eyes never leaving his. Suddenly she rushed at him, lifting her right hand and slamming it against his face, gripping into his cheek bones and forehead as she made a made dash pushing him back and slamming him against a tree, causing the bark to creek and crack with the force of his body hitting it.<br><br>"I will not submit to you.." She hissed softly, drawing in close. Suddenly her lips found his, oddly gentle compared to her previous aggressions, suckling gently at his bottom lip. Slowly a silvery mist began to to flow from between his lips in a small slithering stream as she began to suck the energy from his body slowly.

Get up so I can finish you on your feet, or you will submit," he said as he would wait for her to spring up at him if she tried.<br><br>He was still full of energy, untapped energy that seemed to be unleashed when the key word was spoken by Sayuri.&nbsp; For it was her stab at his upbringing and being that caused this overflow of energy and raw unbridled power to manifest itself.&nbsp; Okami waited for her to rise up and ask for me, or was she truely out of the fight now?<br><br>His body ached, with gashes and blunt force trauma that seemed to fade out in his current rush of power and adrenaline.&nbsp; His mind was clouded on one thing and one thing only, rise and kill or stay down and submit.&nbsp; As everything else didnt matter one bit to him at all, the only things that mattered was his will over her, and his dominance as the superior evil.

She was to tired, to beaten, she just didn't care anymore.<br><br>Her body suddenly went limp as she allowed the darkness to completely consume her, erasing all thoughts and pain from her mind and body as she was consumed by a pleasant nothingness.

				The little servant squeaked and skittered away from Okami as he came towards him. When he deposited Sayuri before Kyubi, his little black eyes widened. "Misstress! What has he done to you!" The little grunt cried before racing up to her form.<br><br>As Okami moved away, the servant flashed him a small glare, though with no real threat as he began to work on Sayuri's bloody and beaten body. He rebandaged her back and hip, add new bandages to her arms, legs, stomach, neck and face, all area's in which she had accumulated new wounds thanks to Okami.<br><br>"Why must you demons be so ruthless with women as tender as Sayuri. She does not have the healing capabilities you jerks do!" The fledgling squawked. It was obvious he had never been on the girls ruthless side.<br><br>Wiping the blood from her body, her made sure she was all clean, knowing how she despised being dirty. Soon after he pulled out two large needles, one for the pain and one to revive her, placing both inside her right arm.<br><br>With a soft groan, her eyes fluttered open, blinking slowly as she tried to focus, her mind muddled and confused. "Where...am I..?" She asked in confusion, still not moving, she didn't seem to have the energy.

She scowled, looking away from him as she glared out across the water.<br><br>Wrinkling her nose slightly, she glanced back to him. "Apparently not strong enough to take on two elite's in one day. You're lucky I was already wounded.." She grinned slight then. "Perhaps I'll challenge you again later, when I heal."<br><br>"Untill then, why not come with me. You're obviously strong, and look at it this way. We're not really trying to help you. We need <strong>your</strong> help and are willing to pay you for it by helping you get closer to your goal."

				Okami looked to his sword and noticed the intense glow as well as his own strength coming forth three fold then it was before.&nbsp; He would stare up at Sayuri with his crimson orbs as he tilted his head to the side a little bit.&nbsp; Thinking about what had just happened, and even he had to agree that this was beginning to form a beautiful friendship of sorts.&nbsp; <br><br><br>Okami would leap from one building's wall to the other til he reached the rooftops and stood before Sayuri "You give me this great power, why?&nbsp; Why am i so important to you or your masters plan?"&nbsp; He asked her as he sheathed the sword back upon his backside.

				She stepped back, her guard going up as he came up to her. She was ready to leave at any moment if he became angry or hostile due to the changes made to his sword. When he merely questioned her motives and that of her masters, she relaxed a bit.<br><br>"We simply want you to help us on our way of exterminating the inhabitants of the planet for a rebirth. You're strong and we thought it would be more useful to have you as a friend then foe." She replied simply enough.

				Okami stood there thinking about this for a moment as he tilted his head watching her eyes as he locked his onto hers.&nbsp; His were narrowed a bit as he thought long and hard about his decision to do what needed to be done.&nbsp; He would reach out quickly and pull her by the waist to him and plant a kiss to her lips that was not so innocent nor sweet.&nbsp; <br><br>He would release her and turn to jump down from the rooftop and looked around some. "So when do we begin the massacre?" he asked as he turned to look back at her and then down to the destruction that he had already brought this village.

				Sayuri tensed as he pulled her against him, preparing for an attack, only to have her lips assaulted with his own. Her eyes widened as he did so, staring at him like he was mad when he pulled away.<br><br>as he looked away and seemed to pay more attention to the destruction then he had her, she couldn't help but smirk at him. "At any time really, although do you want to meet the one's that have employeed you first, perhaps come with me to head quaters and meet the other's off the elite?" She asked as though nothing had happened. She wanted to make him squirm a bit.

				To Okami it was a kiss and nothing more, he would not think anything more of it himself.&nbsp; He looked around to all of the destruction below him as he hmmed lightly before nodding slowly "Alright ill go with you to meet up with the Dark Lords, but im not staying there im going to stay in this realm."&nbsp; He said to her as he would tilt his head slightly watching her and waiting for her to open up a portal and transport them over.&nbsp; <br><br>A small smirk of his own would play on his lips as well thou probably for the same reason as he wanted to make her squirm a bit and see how it felt to be shocked like that.&nbsp; He would watch her a moment before folding his arms over his chest and waiting.

				"Fine." she nodded as a rift began to open behind her.<br><br>"Follow me." She said as she turned from Okami and began back into the portal, leading him back to the pits.<br><br>(To be continued in the pits)
