Welcome to Gaia! ::

"It's not this 'White King' I am concerned about. There is someone far stronger then someone who can dual-wield claymores. His name is...Jon." Karoline was a bit annoyed, when she said she was going solo, she meant she was going solo, END OF DISCUSSION. But, since the Queen demanded it, she didn't mind. Karoline was curious to see how Kiane handled herself. "Just remember:I have my own enemy. I won't be watching your back."

Erik had fallen in love with Jon's Diamond Blade. It was light, and so easy to handle that you didn't expect it to do any damage, but it cut through the women's supposedly "indestructible" armor. Wonder if Jon could make me one of these babies. Erik cut a bloody swath through the women, winding up close to Alexi. "Fine day to destroy anything in your path, wouldn't you agree?"

Karoline found Jon at the edge of the battlefield. "Well hello there, friend!" Jon groaned. Karoline had arrived, and he had only one sword. He could create swords instantly if he needed them, but there where ugly, and incapable of any real fighting. To make his blades, he honed and sharpened them over a long period of time. He always fought with two blades, that was his style, but now he had only one, leaving Karoline with another advantage to throw onto the two she already had: She had wings and her daggers delivered one hell of a shock. "That statement was wrong on so many levels." "What do you mean, Jonny Boy?" Jon winced. He hated that nickname Karoline had for him. Honestly, Jonny Boy? What was he, her son? "First off, you saying 'hello' is not well and good, it's usually followed by asskicking. Second, I'm not your friend, Third, Stop calling me 'Jonny Boy'. I'm someone who's kicked your a** several times, I'm not your 'toy'." Karoline smiled and charged Jon with her dagger. Jon blocked, but Karoline was quicker, her other dagger was fully charged and managed to strike Jon in the side. The charge of electricity knocked Jon out easily. Karoline called an APC to meet her. When it arrived, she loaded Jon inside and sent it back to HQ. She then took a look at the battle. Kiane had that "White King" person or whatever his name was. A quick look at everyone else fighting told her none of them were worth her time. She quickly flew off, following the APC back towards HQ.

((For reference, an APC stands for "Automated Personal Carrier". Got the idea from Advance Wars.))

Erik saw what happened to Alexi. Why does that seem familiar? Before he could answer that, he noticed the women were resuming the attack, and they seemed to has refreshed their numbers. He moved towards Grigor. "Hey, looks like this party's only getting started. Guess Queenie brought reinforcements."

((I so desperately want to play Days of Ruin! I've only played Dual Strike, and it's SSOOOO Good! You don't mind if I drag some units from that game into this rp, do ya?))

Erik followed Grigor towards the breach in the enemies. He caught up, and started talking tactics. "Listen, we're going to need to regroup. Pursuing the enemy in our current condition is suicide. I caught a glimpse of what got Jon, it was some sort of dark angel. We're going to need shitloads more firepower to take something like that down." That angel looked familiar, however. What's her name...Karoline? Wait, if that's her name, how did I know that? Erik took a look back at the Cybers. "Man, if I had those things when I first started on my quest of vengence, the Queens would be dead by now!"

((Oh, hey, I got a picture for Karoline, I'll send it to you now.))

"Zeus Cybers? I know that Zeus is the god of thunder, so do the Zeus Cybers shoot Lightning? LIGHTNING ATTACK FOR THE WIN!!!!" Erik gave a chuckle. It would be great if robots shot lighting. "Mind if I tag along?"

((If you're taking DoR COs, then I'm stealing Dual Strike COs!))

"Well, I don't really care aboot anti-infantry, I can handle that all on my lonesome." Erik was indeed bragging about his abilities, but after fighting the Women's army all on his own for a number of months, he deserved a little bragging. "Anyway, mind if I come along with you guys? If I'm going to get Jon away from that Dark Angel thing, I'm going to need a place to plan it all out."

((I think I'll get Hachi in on this...For those who are now looking at me with confusion, Hachi is the former head of Orange Star, and he gets lower deployment costs. He also can deploy from ANY CITY by using his Super CO Power. It's freaking awesome! Also, I know Empire Earth. My computer can't run it, but it looks to be awesome.))

"I'm guessing Sensei couldn't be here either, huh?" Sensei was a chopper commander that owed Erik and Jon big time. They had saved his life protecting him while he jacked a chopper after being freed from jail. He flew like an angel, and had even helped to give Erik and Jon the drop on enemies by dropping them from the chopper. "As long as this guy doesn't kill us, I don't mind his flying. I've been through worse."

"Hey brother man, I ain't gonna get shot down or some s**t like that. I've got a reputation to hold up." Waylon said, and the chopper lurched.
"Aw s**t, what now?" He cursed, and Grigor snapped into action. There was nothing that was firing on them, but another helicopter was getting just a bit too close. Grigor hailed them.
"Will you watch it? Waylon's a bad enough pilot as it is!" He shouted.
"Sorry, Mr. Bear said to stay close..." A giggling voice said over the radio. Grigor sighed.
"Who thought it was a good idea to let that PSYCHO CHILD Penny FLY A DAMN CHOPPER?" He roared.
"It was my idea... I thought she could handle it. I'm sorry." Isabella said.
"Never mind that now, just get us to the factory in one piece Waylon." Grigor said.
"I aim to please." Waylon said. Grigor then saw what was happening behind them.
"Kristoph, disengae now. We're retreating." He said over the radio.

"That guy is insane. And that is probably what we all are." Erik turned to Grigor. "It's great the way you've got this set up. Most rebellions are just a bunch of guys with sticks and bad attitudes. But this...well, even Jon would be impressed, and that guy's impossible to please."


Jon woke up chained to some sort of torture device. He heard voices. "Karoline! Subject 1254 is waken up." Jon winced. He had a name, you know! Good God, 1000 years of dealing with that Krious a*****e hadn't earned him any respect, and then he goes and gets blown up! What did a man have to do to get some respect? Wait...who's Krious? It seemed both Jon and Erik had memories they shouldn't have. Karoline walked over. "Hello sweetheart. How are you feeling?" Jon snorted. "I was feeling fine until I saw your ugly mug." Karoline slapped him. "You shouldn't disrespect your elders." Jon laughed insanely. "I've lived for a thousand years, b***h!" Karoline laughed too. "The same. There was one person who was also in the nuclear blast. They just never came after you until now." Jon was shocked. He was supposed to have killed everyone who attacked him...but if there was one who didn't hunt him, he wouldn't have killed them. Made sense. "So, sweety, do you want to test my new plaything? It'll be such fun! I call it Electric Chains!" Karoline walked over to a computer and hit the red button, delivering a shock to Jon's system. "God damn! That hurt!" Karoline smiled. "It should have, sweety." Just to prove her point, she cranked up the voltage and hit the button again. Jon was in immense pain, but Karoline didn't care. "4000 volts and you aren't dead? Let's try 7000..." Once again, Jon came an inch away from death, but wasn't killed. However, the primal instincts that he tried so hard to control were starting to bubble to the surface. "Not even out cold? Let's try 10000..." "No!" Jon was panicking. There was no telling what would happen if she pressed that button. "Don't push the button! I beg of you!" Karoline smiled. "The famous Demon of Diamonds has cracked." Jon was confused. "Demon of Diamonds?" Karoline giggled. "Silly me. That was your father. Your father and my mother hated each other. My mother had wings, but I got mine through that damn explosion. You were supposed to have some sort of demonic form you could change into, but you certainly don't know how to control it. You would have used it by now. And so, Jon, GO TO HELL!" She pressed the button. 10000 volts raced through Jon's body, as he screamed for mercy. But then the shocking stopped. One of the scientists in charge of monitoring Jon's vitals motioned to Karoline to come closer. Neither Karoline nor the scientist believed what they saw. And Jon himself seemed to be changing. His skin became dark, he somehow grew fangs and claws, and he even seemed to become stronger. Finally, after the transformation, he broke the chains that held him. Karoline gasped. "You shouldn't be able to..." Jon charged Karoline, smashing her through a wall. As alarms sounded, Jon charged through the halls. He seemed to be in a castle or something. Not caring where he was, he shrugged off hundreds of laser attacks, eventually barreling out the door and running beyond the town borders...but as Jon pressed on, he grew weaker and weaker... to the point where he eventually collapsed somewhere in a forest, in a small spring...
