Welcome to Gaia! ::

Red winced when Jake pushed him away and off of him. Red could do nothing as Jake once again ruined a good hashed together plan. 'Dang. Why do you have to be so stubborn Jake?' When he heard what kind of a second in command he really had, Red thought better of this. 'Well, at least that pain in the neck is gone then. Don't know why the School kept such a man around anyway.'

The two large Erasers, Red's new Second and Third in command of Operation Retrieval, rounded on Jake. Surprisingly, they looked at Jake with respect. One, the gruffer one in Third command, spoke to Jake, "Hes dead Jake. You have avenged your family, but now I have a job to finish. Come quietly and we wont have to shot you with a stun bullet again." The two commanders had their odd guns trained on Jake, fingers on the trigger and ready to shoot on a moment's notice. Unlike his father, these two wouldn't hesitate to shoot Jake into submission and bring him in. His father seemed more intent upon confronting his child, though he kept it well hidden from the rest of the task force.

Red pleaded with Jake as well, "Don't shoot him! Jake, listen to me! Seth, he..." Tears threatened to overwhelm Red, part acting and part serious as he had no idea what Seth's condition was at the moment. "He has been injured. Already been recaptured by the School. I had no choice. It was the only way I could keep him alive!" 'And recapture him with ease' Red thought as a finish to the sentence.


Meanwhile, on the now damaged roof of the buildings, with Ragdoll, was a squad of Erasers, ready to be called in as backup. Some where looking down the hole the two commanders went down, but most of them where scouring the rooftops for any signs of their pray. Luckily for them, one just climbed up to them It took them but a moment to train their gun's at Ragdoll, the laser sights of some of the guns turned on and trained all over Ragdoll's body.
The Erasers behind Ragdoll on the ladder were quickly catching up, unless he did something soon, and quickly, he would be seeing the School much sooner that he would have liked.

The erasers chasing Chance were close behind her now. She had dropped her pendent, which allowed the Erasers to quickly close the gap on her. A familiar looking Van pulled up into a roadway in front of Chance, a white one with swinging doors on the sides and rear. Some kind of agent was sitting in the front seat, but the side doors were not open yet...


Back to the building, Red continued to speak, "We are surrounded Jake. This whole town seems to be a trap for us! I saw them all just before I was capture myself! I tried... I tried to get Seth out of here... but he did something stupid. Now he is injured, near death, and recaptured!"

Red shook his head, "This wont do. Seth really is injured Jake. I wasn't lieing there. No one should get hurt by this either!" Red was shouting the last part as Jake was willingly walking out the door with the other Erasers. "Besides, what gave me away?" red muttered to himself, sitting on the ground for a moment in contemplation.
"Alright guys, uncuff me. This isn't going to do." The two Erasers closest to Red helped him up and uncuffed him. Red unconsciously rubbed his wrists where the cuffs where.
"I guess so much for a second attempt after Jake escapes. I know he didn't give up so easily just to be captured. He's up to something. Post more men on that van, but treat Jake well. He is not a prisoner, and I think he needs to understand that." Red then looked out the door to where the other two ran off. "What am I going to do with this mess. Two brought in, one on deaths door and two out there someplace. Maybe one of them will still trust me enough to let me back in to their group."


The two Erasers that followed Jake into the back of the van stood by the back doors. "Don't fight us and we wont cause you any harm. Give us reason to trust you and you will find those chains will come off. Give us reason not to trust you any farther and you will find yourself in a cage." The last part was a snarl, almost a challenge. That Eraser apparently already had something out for Jake.
The other Eraser by the door looked strangly at the Eraser that spoke, but said nothing.

The eraser that had already growled at Jake took a step forward, pulling his baton out of his belt. "What did I say cat?"
The other eraser grabbed the baton wielding one by the shoulder, "You heard what the boss said. He is not to be harmed. Let him talk."
The baton wielding one shrugged off the hand on his shoulder, "What he gonna do? Bit my ankles? I'll handle this murderer now and save the School the time of putting him down." He took another step forwards, closer to Jake.

Though Jake's hands were chained closely to the walls, his feet where not chained at all...

The van had stopped for a short while, and then the doors flung wide open. A human lady in white walked into the van. "What did they do to you." She muttered as she approched Jake. She saw the wounds the Eraser had given him. She seemed unafriad of him, even though he was now unchained thanks to the other Eraser.
"If your able to, stand up please. I want to check you out," Then she noticed how that sounded, espesually to a young man. "I want to check your injuries."
A bag she had carried in was ploped onto the floor of the van, a heavy metalic sound. She opened it up and turned on a light, directing it onto his burses. "Red said you knew the other one, a kid by the name of Seth?" She probed him to make sure she had the right person. A half tiger, propably injured from fighting with the Erasers taking him in. He matched that so far...

"He has been, yes. I also work for the school, and so are those taking care of your friend, Seth. Now hold still." She had covered a bandage with an ointment and was getting ready to cover the wound he had received from the stun bullet. "You did a good job on that. I hardly have to do anything. Sometimes those stun bullets can cause more damage than they should. Their only meant to stun, not injure."

After he holds still (seen as I am sure you would at some point) she places the bandage onto his side. The wound was shallow and would heal fine in a few days. You also notice that she doesn't seem to notice the other passenger in the van, at least not yet. "Red wanted you to know that Seth is getting the best medical care possible. I am sure he is out of surgery by now."
"Oh, look at me, chatting up a storm and I haven't introduced myself yet, have I?" She looked into Jake's eyes when she spoke to him, well when she wasn't at work that is, "I am Tina, nice to meet you Jake."

The Erasers behind her were surprised at the ease of her giving up. The Van doors opened, and a human stepped out. "Come with us Panther. We wont harm you if you don't fight us." He was holding a pair of handcuffs in one hand, but they didn't seem he would need to use them.
"We are going to take you where you are safe." He stepped aside to show an empty seat for her, as well as space in the back in case they had to fight her into submission and had to throw her back there.

The Erasers behind Chance started walking forward, they all still had their stun guns armed and pointed in her direction. It was either go into the van willingly, or try to fight out. Either choice wasn't sounding promising to Chances ears.

"You won't have to worry about me fighting anything..."
Chance started to walk towards the van. She hated herself for giving up and not doing a thing but following what this guy said. She got in quietly and sat.
Take me to where I'm safe? ...Yeah Right..
Chance looked back at the Erasers. Yup, she had no confidence in the thought of fighting any of em!
The others better be okay... if I get a miracle, I'll see them again..

((Buh-ba-buh-BAA!! new powers have been awarded to: Jake, Seth, and Ragdoll. Sorry other contestants, maybe next time!))
Ragdoll spotted the lazers on his right hand and assumed they where all over his body so he did something stupid. A back-flip. off a 3-story building. into a garbage can.
While spinning in the air the erasers shot at him. One grazed his nose. And if your not savy with guns, that means the sheer wind from the bullet ripped a cut across his face.
((I'll tell you what the powers are later BTW, im now blind))
