From Chaos Comes Order [OA]

[Zahzi]

Jarid then suddenly stopped running and spun around, his rifle facing the holes he had been making.
"That so, huh?" he asked, scanning his surroundings.
"Hey! Shithead following Doll over here. If you're here to help, I got a job for you." he said, still aiming at the hole.
"Gonna need you to get over here before anything else, though." he said, the sounds of the machines approaching getting more apparent before Jarid launched another grenade from his rifle.
"ANY TIME NOW!!"

The Chairman's office was quite dark, even with the sun shining outside.
Thank the curtains.
The only way to tell he was there was the reflection of the computer in front of him on his glasses.
"Ah yes, Rino Raust...Or was it Bender..? Either way..." he trialed off, his face not moving.

"There is an assignment I wish for you to partake in. But before I do, I must ask. What lengths would you go for success..?"  

[Enshara]

Freya Dergunri and Rytx
Codenames: Songstress and Knight

"Do not cage the bird or you will never hear the beautiful song that it has to sing for you."

From the shadows walks out a tall man with lavender colored hair. His eyes are a dull shade of blue that is almost a steel blue color. Keeping his back to the enemy, he looks from Freya to Jarid and shrugs his shoulders. "If it is to protect my Lady then I suppose I'll have to fight these things." he says simply. Stepping back towards the shadows, he grabs a kind of mask that he must have been wearing before and puts it on. "I'd rather they not know who I am." he says simply before stepping out again. Twisting his wrist slightly, he waits a moment before another object emerges from the shadows. This was a long black sheath that obviously encased a sword. Drawing it, he smiles behind the mask before rushing in. The blade in his right hand, he presses his left hand to it just before striking. As he connects with the material his eyes glow for a fraction of a second before cutting through the arm of his opponent. As the robot's arm is removed, it starts to crackle from the electrical circuits being cut. Moving away quickly he smiles as it lands on the ground; no longer moving. Turning, he looks at the remaining enemies and rushes towards them.

Meanwhile, Freya stands up and shifts a foot slightly to go after him but stops. Looking at Jarid, she tilts her head in the direction of the fighting. "Word to the wise. He is having fun and if you go out there he won't distinguish between friend or foe at the moment." she says simply before looking around. Her sword held firmly in her right hand as she waits to see if another attack will come from behind or from the sides.

[Out Of Coffee:]

"Do you really want to make an enemy of those stronger than you?"

 

[ExtraWhiteRice]

Rino Raust

"~Build them up with Iron and Steel, Iron and Steel, Iron and Steel..."

"I would strive for success...until my death, chairman." It wasn't that the words were difficult to get out, it was simply that he had to think on them a bit first. He was glad that it wasn't anything about the incident yesterday. Luckily no one got hurt, and no one's suits got damaged, but nonetheless he had been worried about this meeting.

"I go by either. Bender is a codename for the organization, my true name is Rino." He responded to the Chairman's earlier question. He knew it was out of order, but Rino's mind wasn't really ever in the right place. "So what is the assignment?"

"Iron and steel will bend and bow, my fair lady~"

 

[Zahzi]

Jarid watched the man rush towards the machines, and slowly lowered his weapon.
"...Yeah....The job was gonna be to get you out of here, but yeah...Distraction works....I guess...." he said, before placing two fingers near where his ear was on his helmet.

"Overwatch....Yeah. Actually, we got two now, and the s**t hit the fan worse than last time..." he grunted, waiting for a response on the other end.

"Yeah, yeah. Understood." he said, before raising the rifle again.

"OI! MISTER NINJA! WE'RE TAKING OUT THIS WAVE, THEN FALLING BACK. IF YOU DON'T WANNA BE SOMEONE'S b***h IN AN ORDER CELL IF YOU DON'T COME DOWN WITH A SEVERE CASE OF SHOT-IN-THE-FACE SYNDROME, I SUGGEST YOU FOLLOW AFTER US!" he barked as he began to open fire on the machines trying to encircle the man.

"Good to hear." Clive told Rino before a screen appeared above his head, showing an image of a masked man wearing a top hat.

"Your target is Morris. Man has been nothing but an Afflicted thorn in our side ever since he appeared." he grunted.
"Every time we've tried to capture or kill him, he'd slip away or take out our soldiers. I need someone other than the normal soldiers to deal with this. I need someone who can even the playing field." he told him, the screen disappearing.

"He's made it his business to not only steal from our funds and supplies, but to leak out confidential information to the highest bidders. Survivors of attacks against him claim he can turn into a ghost or something. Still interested..?"  

[Enshara]

Freya Dergunri and Rytx
Codenames: Songstress and Knight

"Do not cage the bird or you will never hear the beautiful song that it has to sing for you."

Turning slightly towards Jarid, he looks past him towards Freya; although that is hard to see; and makes some kind of a signal before turning back and stabbing his sword into the chest of the next target that came before him.

"He says to just get me out. He will follow shortly." she says with a shrug of her shoulders. A small explosion happens as two of the robots that Rytx had just killed collide and explode on impact. Rytx emerges from the smoke cloud and lands close to Jarid and Freya.

"Smoke is a good cover and with so many down those two that just went are sure to set off a chain reaction soon. It may be wise to escape now. Unless your boss has other ideas." he says with a shrug as he backs up slowly. He was crotch down and seemed ready to spring forward again if necessary.

[Out Of Coffee:]

"Do you really want to make an enemy of those stronger than you?"

 

[Zahzi]

Jarid just stared at the man, shaking his ********' showoff...." he grunted, before looking back to Freya.
"Come on then, Doll." he said, gesturing toward the corridor behind them before he began moving.

"Oh." he said aloud, stopping before he tossed something cylindrical to Rytx.
"In case the 'bots get to be too much for your pretty-boy a**, an EMP works well." he told him before he began moving forward once again.  

[Enshara]

Freya Dergunri and Rytx
Codenames: Songstress and Knight

"Do not cage the bird or you will never hear the beautiful song that it has to sing for you."

Rytx catches the device and blinks a bit before laughing slightly. "Didn't realize I was a pretty boy or an arse. I'll have to keep tha' in mind." he says, let his accent come out for a moment before turning to make sure Freya and Jarid got away safely.

Freya follows closely behind Jarid without a second glance back towards Rytx. She knew that he'd be alright and she wanted to get away from the explosions quickly. As they enter the corridor, it takes a moment for her eyes to adjust. In the building the sun had started to peak in through the holes that were being created so to go from sunlight to darkness was a bit harsh on her eyes but once they had a chance to adjust she was fine. "Does this normally happen? The whole Order barging in part?" she asks simply.

[Out Of Coffee:]

"Do you really want to make an enemy of those stronger than you?"

 

[Zahzi]

Jarid shook his head.
"No, Order got a lucky bit of information this time. I got this feeling a certain theatrical shithead decided to ruin this Operation for his own enjoyment." he grunted, before he continued walking.

Meanwhile, on another end of town, Morris let out a sneeze as he walked along the rooftops.
"Ahh, don't tell me I have a cold on such a lovely day....And right into my mask too..."

As Jarid reached the end of the corridor, and at the windows, he peered out them for a moment.
"Four...Five...No, make that eight...." he said aloud, before looking at the woman.
"Just uh....Question of curiosity. How much are you willing to trust me..?"  

[Enshara]

Freya Dergunri
Codename: Songstress

"Do not cage the bird..."

Looking at Jarid, she sighs and glances around him for a moment. It was a bit amazing that her hood had stayed up with all of the running they were doing. Looking at him, she nods her head. "Just tell me what to do. If it will get us out of here then it doesn't really matter. Besides, Rytx can make his own way out. I'm sure he is most likely either out or waiting for us outside somewhere." she says before shaking her head. "He had told me before that the codename he'd want in an organization would be Knight. Never thought it was funny til now." Sighing, she tightens her grip on her sword as she waits.

[Out Of Coffee:]

...or you will never hear the beautiful song that it has to sing for you."

 

[Zahzi]

While Freya spoke, Jarid had been busy placing small, square-shaped objects all over a small area. He nodded as she continued to talk, half-heartedly listening.

"Prettyboy likes Knight. Got it." He said finally, before looking back to Freya.
"Right. Need to see your hand for a sec." He said, holding out his.

"Bender" Rino Raust

"~Build them up with Iron and Steel, Iron and Steel, Iron and Steel..."

"A traditional ghost would be dealt with easily-so he can change form? Tends to go through things such as ghosts? Does he have a codename for his abilites?" It was imperative that Rino gather as much information as he possibly could. If he was to catch this man, he needed to know everything.

"And lastly, where was he last seen?" A starting point. He would be going on this mission alone, as far as he knew. I will not stop this pursuit until I wither and die-or succeed. Let's hope this man cannot actually turn into a ghost. I can't stop ectoplasm-that'd be a job for a Titan.

"Iron and steel will bend and bow, my fair lady~"

 

[ExtraWhiteRice]

"Slasher" Ryan Mulfis

I am Ryan; I'm of the Order~

"This is Slasher, over and out." Ryan said, taking his hand off of the transmit button. He let out a deep sigh, which would have fogged up the glass on his suit a hundred years ago. They had technology to prevent that nowadays, though. "Well, I guess it's time to head home." He said, hefting the gun that came with this suit to strap on his back.

The gun was not his only weapon, but it was what he used most often. It was an effective medium-long range weapon. If he wanted to get close and personal, he had a large sword that looked as if it would be impossible to lift-such is the advantage of the Titan suits. He had been heading out to help Weiss assault a chaos recruiting location, but had been called back when some of the pilots to the larger titan suits began having technical difficulties. Newbies, the lot of them-couldn't fix a single thing, and were always breaking their suits.

His arm lifted to feel the chest of his suit. A dent had been left there yesterday by some arrogant Afflicted individual. Of course the man had fixed it, not that Ryan needed him to. In his suit, though, he was Slasher-no longer the Ryan his parents had known, but a tool for the Order--and he liked it that way. The newbie's suit was in the hangar-having been graced with a very large Titan (one that Ryan would NEVER actually use himself, simply for mobility issues). "What's the problem, meat?"

The newbie promptly showed him what was going wrong. Surprisingly, it was something that one actually needed a Titan suit to fix-one of his models, though he was sure that his wasn't as friendly as some of those who had not modified it with spikes. "Stand back, this will take a while." He said, heaving a sigh as he proceeded to fix the newbie's suit.

~I am Slasher, I cause disorder...

"Skulker" Veerus Xander

We live in shadow, use darkness to hide;

Shadow-something one could find almost everywhere. When there was light, there was shadow, and without light, there was darkness. The darkness itself is a shadow, just on a much larger scale. Veerus stepped into one shadow, coming out from another location closeby. It was much faster than traveling on foot, he knew. Much faster than a car, even-if he wanted it to be. The only thing that didn't match it's pace were planes, and titan suits that could exceed 200mph. He had joined Chaos a while ago, certainly not their most valuable asset, but one of their top infiltrators. Not that he acquired a title, simply that he found himself to be...better than them.

Odd...No one invited me to the party. Why didn't Jarid tell me that he was going to be doing something fun? There were eight Titans outside of a building-plenty of shadow to get inside, but instead, he decided to watch. Oh, he would help out if he was needed, but he knew Jarid better-Jarid would get them out of that situation.

There was another, though he was not in the building--Veerus didn't recognize him. He would not spring forth to help, he would watch--until he was absolutely sure he would be needed. Likely, he wouldn't be.

We all try to escape from the pain inside...

 

[Zahzi]

"So far, he's been able to allude video capture. At least his power." Clive replied, as the monitor flicked back on and showing a camera feed.
It showed ten seconds of a vault filled with various items of monetary value.
At exactly 5.55 of the video, Morris' face appeared for a split second. When it vanished, so too did the items.


"All we really have on him is the name he goes by: 'Mistawalker Morris'."

(Sorry for the late reply. In Orlando for Megacon~)  

[ExtraWhiteRice]

"Bender" Rino Raust

"~Build them up with Iron and Steel, Iron and Steel, Iron and Steel..."

"Mistwalker Morris...If I fail to captch him, at least I can identify what he does, and after that, it should be...easier to capture him. Must have something to do with mist, I'd guess." That split second had been enough for Rino to know his target's face. "Who do I report to? Directly to you or to one of your officers?"

Rino would get a headset-one to check in with the person he reported to. He knew their headsets could go over a long range. Even though he hated wearing that technology, he felt he didn't have a choice in this case. He planned on checking in as soon as he knew what it was that Morris did, and not again until he had found a way to capture Morris.

"Iron and steel will bend and bow, my fair lady~"
