The earth rising about was read in frames of light blue,and traced until it fell harmlessly.Having his vision filled with different trackings and crosshairs didn't bother 23.He'd been born into such.Moving forward he raised aim and fired again,3 shots this time.One at the head,the other at the back of the neck spinal region,the last aimed for the lower back spinal cord.His scanners kept alert however for anything.He was uneasy now.He'd been told the place was hostile,but had no idea they meant this hostile.He'd been there less then an hour and already he needed repairs and ammunition.

Nal's body spasmed as his face was forced to dig into the earth and his back became bruised with the shots of the gun. Nal had only fought something that had guns once...and that was a tank.
Lan's thudering footsteps could be heard in the distance as he drew closer and closer to Nal and 23. Then, without warning, the sounds stopped, as did the small tremors usually associated with Lan's movements.

Warning: Target lost.Repeat,Target lost.23 nodded to himself and moved until his side was against the tree.He still had 3 shots left.The creature was still alive it seemed,which wasn't good.He also took note of it's weapon.He took steady aim at the creatures head.Aiming his shot at the back of his head again.Careful aim levelled everything up,and then he fired.Hoping that this shot would end the creature's pain.It was meant to be a mercy kill mostly.To have the large bullet drill right through his brain.

"GOD DAMNIT!! WILL YOU STOP THAT!!!"
Nal's voice boomed loudly as yet another shot was slammed against his thick skull. He growled loudly as he pushed himself to his feet, more pissed off then damaged. Sure, Lan felt the pain, but he didn't. The flames roared loudly all around him as he sought, not 23, but his heat signature. Surely all the strain he was putting on that suit, and all the bullets he had been fireing, would have made him stand out against the cool night air.
"Enough! You two are done!"
Lan stood behind 23. A hulking 13 foot 1,200 lbs silver giant, just appeared out of no where. He had slid into, and out of, the earth and reappeared behind 23. Lan didn't hold Ka'lana in his hands, like he did when he was speaking with Mastema, instead he sought a more peaceful option. He was currious as to why his brother was being pounded by something half his size.

Warning: Tactical situation,Not good.Activating preprogrammed audio a-Emergency Overide activated.Audio unlocked.23 was really sick of the thing.He'd do some minor tweaking later.For now he moved as quickly as he could manage to between the two.Keeping them both inside his vision.He didn't like having something appear behind him.His pistol was held in both hands,aimed downwards.It wasn't a peaceful pose,just one of readiness.His back was to a tree as he watched them.Knowwing he had only two shots left and that they seemed to do very little.The amass of heat in the area would obviously make thermal based sight very annoying.With all the magma and such.However,he was still quite clearly visable.

Lan was slowly walking towards Nal, who was shouting, growling, and groaning loudly.
"Nal, we're leaving now. Come."
"Fine...What ever that thing was, it hit harder then you did...p***y."
Lan didn't respond with words, instead he smacked Nal in the face with a closed fist. Nal was rubbing his face and sheething the Flameberg as Lan approached 23.
"Forgive my over active brother, he does tend to attack at random. Please accept my heart felled apollogy."
Lan held out his left hand, because his right was gone, for 23, it seemed friendly enough, but the fact was he was 13 feet tall and looked like he could crush a human skull with the very same hand he held out as a peace offering.

23 assumed it was something along the lines of a human handshake.The pistol found it's way into his right hand and stayed there.His left extended to take Lan's.Not knowing exactly what to do he shook it the way he would any normal person's.His voice came through a small voicebox,but was still his,holding the minor undertones of being patched through electronically."Not a problem.I was actually quite confused as to why he attacked me.I to,am sorry for hurting him.Wait...I don't mean to be rude.But who are you?What is this place...?And..You speak english?"

"Forgive me, I'm being rude. My name is Lan, this is my twin brother Nal."
Though Lan said they were twins they looked, acted, and sounded nothing alike. Even if 23 scanned them, their DNA would come up completely different. The only thing similar with the two was their size, and the fact they looked like they could crush humans.
"You are in the Black Company's forest, it encompasses every structure in the area. Yes, I speak english...I also speak Elvish, Dwarf, Giant, and Titan. Now, may I ask your name, sir?"

"I don't have a name.You may refer to me as 23 if you need to.The Black Company?What is such?A corporation?"He had done a passive scan.Mostly things on height and build,and biology.Nothing deep or intense.For he couldn't manage such without better equipment.Hearing the giant list off the familiar names caused him to wonder.This world couldn't possibly be so much like fantasy,however,he was facing a giant.

((BWHAHAHAHAHAA!!!!!))
"It's...well, I don't know what it is exactly. I like to spend my time away from there."
Nal was kneeling down beside the crater of lava, that still shone brightly and destroyed the darkness of the night, splashing lava up into his face.
"I must be leaving shortly...my peace has been found and I must return to it. If you are truely curious as to what the Black Company is, Nal will show you. Won't you Nal?"
"Yea, sure."
Nal was cut short at sure when he splashed another gulp of lava into his face. Nodding his head to 23, Lan slowly sank into the ground. He wanted, so badly, to reach his peace!

23 nodded to Nal.He was very much unsure as to how the magma effected the being.Though,he didn't feel now was the time to ask.He was more worried about finding a place to set as a point for his search.He had lost access to many things,for he didn't have any connections here."Alright then,Nal,Lead the way."

Nal growled loudly as he scooped a hand full of lava and sucked it into his mouth. Holding it there for several moments he stood up and turned to face 23, his face appeared to be back to normal! Spewing the cold, mush, that was once lava onto the ground Nal started to walk. He really didn't care if 23 was following him. Pushing trees out of his way, small tendrils of smoke dancing from his footsteps, Nal continued to growl about a pain in his back.

23 raised a brow on instinct,but he had no eyebrows.Shrugging he followed after Nal.His suit logging the footprints as he went along.Everything was strange.Even the trees were odd.He had expected a different world,but he expected a very different world.Not a world like his own in some ways.It made things seem as if he were in a bad dream.A file showed up in the top-right corner of his vision.Flashing through some words,then a couple of pictures.One of a live boy,and beside it the pale dead boy.He held no feelings for the kid,and it seemed the death had been natural enough,but a lot of long hours proved some odd things.

For hours and hours upon end did Irvine suffer. Even now was he screaming from the inhuman pain. He had litterally beaten his body to a bloody pulp. All of this just to escape the pain. His head had a severe gash in it from which he got from pounding his head into the earth several times just to numb himself momentarily and releave himself of the pain. And it was only moments before the pain came back in full force. His nervous system was on fire. It felt like thousands of flaming, razor sharp needles were being stabbed into him every time he breathed.
"AUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!"
The pain was immense. It was excruciatingly painful and how Irvine managed to survive this long was beyond him. Why was this happening to him? He had made a deal with Lucifer. To sell his soul for power to beat Xol. So why was his soul clashing with his body over his mind? Why did he have to endure such pain and such suffering?
"WWWWWWWWWWWHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY?!?!??!?!?!"
The question that would never recieve an answer...or would it?

Crystal held her bow across her chest as she stood at the edge of the forest, listening to the screams coming from inside. The pain filled sounds made her wince as her imagination started to fill her mind with gruesome images of people getting killed and ripped to shreds.
Her hiking boots hardly made a sound as she tracked though the forest. Crystal noticed her tacks from earlier and the burnt track marks. The screams seemed to be coming from the place she ran into that guy.
A fearful lump formed in her throat as she slowed her pace some. The last thing she wanted was to bother him again. But what if he was the one needing help? She sighed as she talked herself into checking it out. As he came into view her eyes widened. This time she didn't get as close but he didn't seem to be loking good.
