Welcome to Gaia! ::

Skotti was thrown into a small cell with no windows and a metal door. "Goddammit! from here on in I swear I am never gonna get captured again".

(Ah man all that for a quick death. Pen is not looking so good.)

"Ow ow oh ow" Pen said in reply. "I just can't win first Luc and now the boss. I need to up my training" She said rubbing her back in the pitch black room.

Her neck was repaired along with her ribcage but her broken back would be sore for awhile. It would seem the zurg like watching her lose.

"Is that you Waffle?"

Luciano shook its holographic hand but then it suddenly became real. It looked up at Luciano and it said, "I apologize for my people taking yours hostage. . and I wish to help all of you in any way that I can." Luciano got to one knee so that he could be eye level with it. He nodded at the Zurg then he said, ". . How come we are here?"
"You are all here because a race of beings threatened to destroy the Zurg home world if we didn't do something 'interesting'- which is ******** stupid, if you ask me. So my captain, a very evil one, Number One, decided to take Gaians and pit them against each other. ."
Luciano nodded understandingly, the Zurg continued "I protested against it, though. . I tried to suggest we enslave the Trogues from planet Trogue. I was ignored of course."
Luciano softly looked at the Zurg and then he said, "If you help us, I will grant you Asylum on my planet until things die down. It's the least I can do for a new ally." The little Zurg shook its head and then it said "No. . but thank you, Gaian. I'm afraid that I can't dwell on your planet. My people would vaporize your entire Galaxy if they didn't find me there. You're better off leaving me here to pay for my crimes of betrayal." Luciano nodded then he held its hand "You read my file, right? Then you should know that I used to serve in the Army as a Marine. Marines never leave their own behind. . Never."
The Zurg looked down, "In this case, you will have to," it looked into Luciano's eyes and it said to him, "One of your friends was taken to a Solitary confinement complex in the lower decks of this very ship. . I will take you there, and then from that area I will help you two take over the ship but we must be quick." Luciano nodded then he followed the Zurg out of the Cell.

Luciano and Seventy thousand six hundred five marched down the hall, the little Zurg put Luciano in titanium cuffs so that they wouldn't look suspicious. When they got to Skotti's cell, Luciano tapped on the door twice, "Pst. . Pst. . . Skotti, it's Luciano. You are you alright?"

Skotti had just figured out how to flip his cig into his mouth when luciano showed up "Uh, yeah, if you can call my lack of a nicotine fix, alright" he said as the cig fell from his mouth.

Skotti smiled and lit his cig, he took the gun and ran to where the map told him to go. Along the way he took out the guards, he encountered shield-wielding zurg and bounced bullets of the walls to kill them. He looked back down at the map and stopped in front of a door, "Armory... hehe" he said running into the room.

Skotti ran into the armory to find crates of varying sizes, with words written on them. Skotti did not recognize the Zurg lettering but recognized some english words that where written on them as well.
"Look like this one says... Luciano... and this one says Shade, these must be our weapons." said skotti, searching for his crate. He could not help but notice the sizes, it kind of put things in perspective; Luciano's was a fairly large size to hold his knives and revolvers, his bolster sword was probably in there too, although he had yet to use it. Pen's crate was rather small and was set next to sabe's which was equally as small. Skotti looked over at a fell crates that where open and unused. "Waffle, Blacklight, Mandi..." he said to himself, reading the empty crates.
"At least they did not take mandi, maybe they do have a bit of a heart" said skotti as he continued the search for his crate. After noticing Lana's gigantic Crate right next to pen's, skotti came across the crate marked "Gallows" and opened it. In front of him stood all of his weapons, everyone he had ever used. All of his sniper rifles, his various sidearms, the AK-47 from the army base, a few guitars, and a pack of cigarettes. Skotti picked up the Druganov that the Blackheart had given him and inspected the stock, "Wait... this is not right... My Druganov has the Blackheart' s emblem on the butt of the gun... this is a replica!" he said looking at his other weapons, all perfect replicas. "Guess that explains how they got all of our weapons up here" said skotti, strapping his PSG-1 to his back and grabbing the AK-47, even though he despised assault rifles. He ran out of the room, after also grabbing his old Single Action Army as a sidearm and a few grenades from lana's crate, and continued to clear luciano's path.
