Welcome to Gaia! ::

+++Dzan was protected as he dove at the feet of...OPTIMUS PRIME?! A small smirk forming on his lips as he turned just in time to see the WP explosion. Ooo. Willie Pete. He hadn't seen that in a long while.

After the WP grenade had detonated, white smoke had poured from the sewers into the room - this was the signal that everything was good to go. WP smoke wasn't the dangerous part unless inhaled in great quantities - it was the initial explosion that released the substance, which generated the oh-so-rathin'-lethal chemical burns.

So, Ebris leaped through the portal and onto OROCHI OPTIMUS SHOUYIN, climbing up its hood and into the cab. As he did this, he got knicked a few times by Spooky's fire upon the supposed target of the WP grenade. Fortunately, his flak vest saved him from the worst of it - instead, his ribs were bruised very badly. This caused him to stumble and nearly fall off the semi truck, to which he turned around afterwards and gave the soldier a wonderful gesture with his arms and fingers.

"Ugh - rathin' sumbitch Spooky! Watch where yer rathin' shootin!"

EDIT: Okay, seems the damn cab was now too small to get in, so it was move all the way back to the trailer and hop in. For some reason, James was rathin' making out with one of the damned hostages on the ground. Ebris just grumbled and shook his head, itching to have an excuse to hurt someone.

Eileen gonked. It was the only right thing to do as her feet were taken out from under her and she landed on top of James. Hearing the concern in her voice, she blinked down at him, her visor shimmering into focus. "...what's wrong? What's happening out there?" She was becoming more and more HoshiTe and less Eileen as time went on...but that thankfully meant that less and less of the raw emotions were seeping from her and affecting the others in the trailer.

It was about this time that she finally felt the tremors, and the Carl Zeiss lenses embedded in her eyes widened. And she looked down at James, hoping to find answers.

Meh. Still feeling a little under the weather, the fatigue from the Anti-field still somewhat affecting her, Ryke popped out of the portal right behind her partner, cursing the LOLNEO wannabe the entire time.

Metas didn't piss her off nearly as much as Ebris, as well, she was a Gaia native and had been dealing with them for a long a** time, they still annoyed the living s**t out of her and guys like him only served to push those limits.

'Snkrt'

A snicker. Oh well. In the mean time, she looked around spotting OROCHI OPTIMUS PRIME SHOUYIN, she did a double take.

What the hell?

Oookay. Well, hey wierder things have happened and she climbed up into the only available place for sitting. Which was the trailer she assumed.

Oh hey, there were other people up here...sucking face? The hell? What a time to be getting busy and what a place to do it. It was kinda awkward and she put as much distance between herself and them as possible.

James looked up at her... hell, it's not that bad being here. So he squeezed her tight.

"From the sounds of things... nothing good."

Shouting from outside. Running. s**t breaking up. Seemed like people were coming back and from the sounds of the world breaking up around them it was time to go.

"HEY GUYS!" James shouted in the direction of the open door in the back. "LET'S GO!"

The emotions had calmed down a bit... at least the forced ones. But this ball had been rolling down a pretty steep hill for a long time. One hand on her backside, James rolled her onto her back so that he'd get off of that gunpod.

And underneath James and Eileen, Colin flailed. He flailed like an anime fan girl watching Sora and Riku make out.

That bloody robot-girl was slowly losing her previous attractive glazing due to her very heavy form.

MECHA =/= LIGHT

Eileen's remanifestation was almost complete, and all of her "old" battle damage was coming back with it. She still held on to James, even as the cracked targeting visor began flooding with error messages once again. She reached up past James and wiped her hand over the air, and the warnings were swept to one side. Then she eased what was left of her leg cylinders to the side so as not to cut Colin or James.

"Communication received." She briefly went over what was being said over her radio to the Kitten Hats above and below her. She was still blushing...even as a half mecha. "It seems that we should depart ground based transport as soon as we're able, and I would like to help these people. I recommend I manifest my true form to accomplish both goals." This was where she revealed that Optimus Shou was not the only transforming vehicle present. Her version though was a large fightercraft.
