( I'll let you guys figure out who is who... XD! )
The dust rolled across the desert as a swift wind storm was staring to kick up. Red sand shifted about in waves and shimmered in the setting sun. The view would have been nice, if nice were not already annoyed with the constant view of red sand all around. Not even a single dune cut into the everlasting flatness of sand and even hard cracked ground in some places. Blaze was getting tired as well. He constantly groaned and hung his head low and took slow steps. The pure dullness of the land even put Kagi to sleep on Blaze's back. Nick was constantly looking at a the scanner for any hint of a town, but nothing popped up...

Dante drove his HC around the desert towards the next hopeful city. This desert sucked, he could almost set it on autopilot and just go to sleep. He needed an alarm for when another Zoid came up on radar, so he started working on that. Just as he finished he looked around hoping he might be able to test his new system out. It didn't take long before a Gunsniper came into view. The alarm went off without a hitch but it was too quiet, he was going to have to tweak it a little bit. He began to think about different alatms he could hook up to it when he snapped to looking outside at the new Zoid. He didn't know if they were friend or foe so he figured he'd ask.
He flipped the comm switch and looked at the screen and camera, "Hello there, I am Dante Santo. Mind introducing yourself, its been pretty boring walking this desert alone." He looked at the screen with Daiyu on his shoulder who was also looking at the screen. She was cute and just sitting there with her legs under her and her arms in her lap.

Titus opened a eye lazily partway as the screen popped up, a little annoyed. She had finaly manged to curl he self in the corner of the pit and fall a sleep, but then to be awoken...
Titus didn't move but to the other on the screen she still might look asleep that is if he could see her. She acted as such. Making a slight sigh that could only be audible(loud enough) to Nick, obvious that she had been awoken.

Nick grit her teeth as the voice trailed over the COM-link. A large transport zoid was just coming into view on the radar. It was frustrating that it was not a town they had run into first. She refused to answer the call with a quick *hmpf*. Blaze knew that was key to jam the COM-Link so that no messages could be shared. The other end would receive nothing but static. "I had just gotten the pup to fall asleep... I don't have time to deal with this...." Nick grumbled.

Dante raised an eyebrow and looked over at Daiyu not getting a response from them. "Well they seem to not be very friendly, I will get Aeris ready for departure if they decide they want to start something." With that he flipped a couple of switches which partially released Aeris and lined her up with the catapult to be launched from the HC if needed. He looked back up at the comm not getting anything back from them he was unsure if they didn't recieve anything or if they were just ignoring him. He decided to try again to talk to them to see if they would respond, "I repeat, my name is Dante Santo, are you in need of assistance or are you just not friendly? I mean no harm and do not intend to fight unless I am attacked. If you wish you can travel with me for now, might be more entertaining with someone than just by yourself."
So he sighed watching and waiting traveling in the straight line he was going in before, perpendicular to them. He was traveling to the town that was still a ways off but down there instead of to the side of where he was. He didn't know there was multiple people there but it didn't matter anyways. The Zoid was from te Republic so he hoped they would be more friendly to an ally but it seemed they werent interested or something.

Titus raised her head and dropped it agents the side of one of pit.
"nnh...." she grunted somewhat. -....fun...- she thought sarcasticly to her self. They couldn't see the man, but great they could still hear him. She just want to go back to sleep. But she was regretfully up now. Titus let her head drop over to look at the back of Nick. Waiting for her response. Titus would give input, but from what she had learned...Nick had the right of authority to say the least. though at times that didn't stop Titus. And she had the wounds to prove it.

Nick could tell Tidus was annoyed with the other guy, and she was herself. Hours of traveling on the plain desert did nothing for a good mood. "Yeah, sure..." She flipped the COM-link completely off so she didn't have to hear him anymore. It was now obvious he wasn't hunting anyone. Now was a good time to switch on the boosters and head around his radar, but when Nick tried to urge Blaze forward he just groaned and continued to move toward the hover cargo. "No, Blaze.... damn it! " The zoid ignored all the orders still. He continued to walk slowly toward the Cargo with his head hung low and his feet near dragging on the ground. He was tired and willing to bet the hover cargo would have some nice treats for him to enjoy. Personally he didn't get a bad feeling from the voice on the COM-link, so it seemed like a good idea.
Kagi, meanwhile, still curled up on Blaze's back and enjoyed the rest he was getting.

Dante raised an eyebrow at the comm and the Zoid, "Well they aren't very friendly are they Daiyu? Why are they still coming towards us though, and seems like a more direct route towards us?" He didn't like the way this was looking, maybe it was multiple people in there and they were going to try and jump and rob him. So he flipped a couple switches which brought Aeris back inside and down to the cargo area, where he worked on Zoids.
He got up and walked down there making sure that she was alright and strapped down so she wasn't really jostled at all. "Ok Aeris, this is the current situation, there is another Zoid out there, not very friendly or talkative. Yet they are still coming towards us, we are going to need to be ready for anything. I will go back up there and wait for them to reach us before really getting ready for a possible fight. I will be back shortly." At which point he ran back up stairs to the c**k pit watching and waiting for the Zoid to get closer and hopefully the pilot or Zoid show what they were planning on doing. He did not want to be taken by surprise, he wouldn't let them hurt Aeris or Daiyu. They would not lay a hand on either if they were unfriendly, he would defeat any enemies that crossed his path.
(I know this is long and kinda more than one action but its not terribly important actions I don't think...)

Titus made a relaxing sigh as nick turned of the link. She started to close her eyes once more, But was interrupted but her out burst. They where all tired. It was so menoughtness, to travel such distances. But to say the truth Titus was a bit amused at Blaze's taken action. She wondered if he to would get shot for not listening....
"Ah...we're all tired...." Titus mumbled sleepily as her gaze moved upward. Not necessary agreeing with blaze's actions. As she didn't feel like meeting anyone at that moment. But rather stating the obvious

Once Blaze reached the Cargo he pulled a little to the side than flopped down with his chin on the ground. Nick looked back at Tidus and shot her an over the glass look, but only for a moment. Now they were stuck here in front of this guy and Nick was positive she would not get Blaze to move any further. She would have to deal with this guy... and that was something she did not want to do.
Kagi looked up as Blaze came to a complete stop. He let out a slow draw out growl. Stopping meant Nick was going to get out, and that also meant that Tidus would too. Maybe this time.

Dante raised an eyebrow seeing the Zoid stop in front of him, so he stopped the HC and tilted his head. This was all very strange and not anything he expected, they werent playing one way or another, not as bad people but not as good people either. So he reached down and grabbed his gun putting the silencer on it and making sure the 12 inch dagger was on him. He flipped the comm switch and tried to raise them again before going out there to meet them in person. "What are you guys doing? You do not respond yet you block my path? What do you want and what are you doing?"
He sat there waiting for a response, really not expecting one and waiting to have to go outside and see for himself. He reached up and pet Daiyu, she was sitting on his shoulder as he waited for a response. What was going on? Was this an ambush? He looked all over his radar for any other Zoids that mught pop up around him to attack.

Titus gaze difted over to Nick just in time to see the 'look'. Titus let out a small yawn.
"I'm not getting out..." She protested as she letting her eyes close, making herself confortable not wanting to, just as much, if not more then Nick; to met someone.

Nick opened the cockpit hatch with a growl. "Bad puppy." She huffed as he shoved Tidus out of Blaze's head. With her other hand she flicked on the COM-Link. She was enable to hear his last transmit ion as she had turned off all communications with the guy. "It would seem as though my zoid has taken a liking to your transport vehicle. I can assure you that we mean no ill will to you... but let me make this very clear; If you so much as hint hostile action I will not stand for it and you WILL pay the consequences. Do I make myself clear?" Nick spoke in a bold voice. Her words were filled with promise. This woman was extremely serious and sounded as if she were ready to rip any arm off that dare cross her.
Kagi looked over the edge of the Zoid once he say Tidus fall from the cockpit. He growled with delight as he leapt up to the cockpit and perched himself on the edge. Kagi growled in laughter as he looked down at Tidus.

Dante outright chuckled not knowing this girl or the zoid plus he didn't care. "What ever you say missy. Ill load your Zoid up and do a tune up on him if you want. I also have food and beverages in here as well as empty rooms if you want to rest. It will be nice having some company for once."
With that he flicked off the comm and turned the HC in a 90 degree turn and openned up the side hatch. He walked down casually putting the saftey back on his gun and putting it in the holster. It wouldnt be too hard to get the Zoid into his HC then he could meet these people and have someone to chat with.

"....?" Titus opened a eye as she heard the pit open. "Hay wha-dha!" Titus had no chance to defend her shelf as she was shoved from the pit, and fell and hit the ground. Only to hear Kagi laughing at her. She Scrambled to her feet and grabbed a nearby rock and chucked it heavily at the laughing organoid.
"Shud'up!...." Titus growled. Still annoyed with Nick's taken action of kicking her out of the pit.
