Welcome to Gaia! ::

Zack Arwin leaned on the counter of the shop. The bell rang and he scrambled to attention. An old man, probably a mad scientist, walked into the store. His eyes flashed dangerously when he saw Zack.

"What are you doing here boy? The city is ours!" The man snarled.

"Don't you talk to my son like that!" A voice shouted as Zack's father came down the stairs.

"Oh... Geomancer! this is your son, is it? Don't you know he could be L.O.S.T. ?!" The labcoat-garbed man pointed accusingly at Zack.

"Of course I know, but Zachary has never betrayed me. Now unless you're here to buy something, leave!" Matthias literally had fire coming from his eyes as he glared at the old man.

"I'll do what I want, Geomancer!"

The Geomancer strode up and grabbed the old man by the neck of his coat, his outfit had changed to the supervillain style he wore when fighting. "Not. In. My. Store." Geomancer growled and threw the old man out of the shop.

"Thanks Dad." Zack said.

"No problem son, now excuse me, but I have more to do upstairs." The outfit of the Geomancer swirled and coalesced back into the black suit of Matthias Arwin.

Zack sighed, why did this have to happen every day? He looked out the window and sighed.

"As soon as possible." said Deus. He froze for a second and was jumping off the balcony as an explosion sounded in the distance. As he fell, he relaxed and suddenly stopped falling. A hand had grabbed his arm. A sergeant pulled Deus into the helicopter. "Almost didn't catch you there Robo." said the sergent in a familiar way. "Bout a mile off, a small group of unidentifieds attacked an armory. We're going their to provide aerial support. Any place we can drop you off sir?"

"Right here is good" said Deus as he jumped off the low flying helicopter. He landed on a low rise apartment building. He jumped down to the ground. He lifted a manhole cover and climbed down, sealing it behind him. He landed at the bottom of the manhole and stood in a sewer, calf deep in water. Suddenly figuares emerged from the shadows. Each had an assult rifle, with grey fatigues and various military implements. He gave a hand signal. He and the 10 other elite squad members moved off silently in the wet, splooshy dark.

Two cannon-fodder soldiers ran down the alley. "Sector 5 clear. Moving to next sector." They continued through the maze of alleys. Suddenly they toppled, their heads now 5 feet behind them. Deus appeared in the alley from invisablity. He waved his squad from around the corner. They continued off down the alley. Three squad members climbed up to various vantage posts in the area, to provide sniper cover. The rest continued on. Finally they reached a large, square, with 500 soldiers in formation. Various patrols traveled the streets. Deus's squad had a solution. The roofs were all theirs. They made sure to block or destroy most ways up, yet they kept some for a quick escape. There was a bell tower at the southern end of the square. Only two people went up. The first was the team's best sniper. The second was Deus. He stood at the very top, invisability on. Two clicks sounded on the team's com. All in position. He sent off a series of 3 clicks followed by 2 beeps. Begin assult.

He ran down the short roof and jumped out. Despite the size of the square he managed to come down right in the middle of it. The impact was so big, a shallow crater was formed, with Deus in the middle. The enemies quickly surronded the crater, guns at the ready. The dust was heavy in the air. Suddenly, coming towards the bell tower, came Deus. He flew out of the dust cloud like a bat from hell, sword in hand. The soldiers hesitated a moment too long. Blood and body parts flew everywhere, as Deus pushed his way through the crowd like a meat grinder. Heads exploded and blood spurted as Deus's squad emptied clips into the crowd. The enemies attempted to escape through the only two exits. Each on the west and east of the bell tower. Before they escaped, explosives detonated and sealed the exits with rubble. From their it was a turkey shoot. Body count of 500 to 0.

'Why do humans exist?' thought Deus as he cut off a robot's head. 'We surly aren't the chosen race as religions say.' He was now moving faster the most humans. Besides, he had his inviability on. What the human eye could see, was mass amounts of evil robots getting diced. Deus's crew could hardly compete. "He must be all philosophical and what not right now. When he is he dispatches enemies like this." said one soldier to another. An hour later, the crew was on a helicopter going back to HQ. Deus was silent as ever, contemplating existence.
