*The largest cylinder was the first to open. In an organized fashion, 20 1B type droids of various armaments. They quickly examine the immediate area without moving far from their origin. The second and third containers start opening. The second was much larger, and that reason was because it contained four, massive 2B model droids. The third held a dozen, swift 3B droids for scouting. For now, the last container remained unopened as the 5Bs and 1Bs scoured the nearby area*

The pitch black creature cackled madly as the droids moved out on thier missions and went so far as to run in rapid circles around the tree it had previously grabbed. It showed little sense or sanity at the moment though it did call out in an unlabored tone to the world in general. The bones of the earth have risen up and gained form, they move forth sent by the pulses of life, made by the chosen of death. The bones of the earth have risen at last, so let's break our meal and feast on the marrow. The words had begun casually but quickly took on a sing song tone that was warm and calm yet oddly disquieting in it's sound as though a silent reverb rung out with each word.

*Other than a glance, the droids pay no heed to the crazy creature. In a highly stylized manner, the 2B droids line up with their backs to the 1Bs. On the back of each 2B there was some sort of platform where one would find the shoulder blades. Two 1B models mount these platforms on each 2B and start to "link" themselves with the 2Bs. Now the top half of the 1Bs was visible from the front of the 2Bs. The 1B on the right shoulder of each 2B held a precision rifle and the left hand ones held rapid fire rate machine guns. The 2B's themselves held a massive shield that must've had 5x the strength of Proto's for maximum coverage and a massive, high calibur minigun in the other hand. The other dozen 1Bs wait for the 5Bs to land and mount the flying 5Bs one by one. Now all 20 1Bs were either mounted on a 2B or a 5B. The agile 3Bs would remain independant with single strike blade weapons attached*

The creature cackled madly and began clapping it's feet together at the show while yelling randomly garbled words that did not truly belong to any language. After a moment it simply fell onto it's side and lay with it's head twisted at a truly unusual angle to watch the preceedings. It yawned widely even as it's legs twisted around to grab the bark of the tree with it's feet and begin to climb upside down into the tree branches where it would have yet another perspective. Even as it moved though it's head remained at the odd angle.

Raven paused for a moment, her ears standing on end at the voice in the woods. She could hear wolf and the mechanical sounds of the Droids.
"Hold that thought for a minuet love.. I hear something." She cooed, sliding her arms from around Xol as she turned towards the open path. Twisted in with the bark and limbs of an old oak she saw the fur of Wolfs pelt... wondering why he was acting so strange, quite frankly walking up trees backwards, she drew near.
"Wolf!... What the Hell are you doing!?" She snapped, pressing her auds flat to her skull as she crossed her arms in a cocky manner.
((and if thats not wolf.. she thinks it is X.x;; ))

*The droids ignore Rave's yelling and continue to ignore Eclipse. The last container had yet to open or do anything, but there were sounds from within it. The 5B/1B combos scour the forest from the air, checking for anyting dangerous. The 3Bs bolt through the thees looking around. The 4B/1B combos remain behind to guard the last container*

Jade is standing on a tree branch. She has her eyes closed, and holding her scythe in her left hand. Her Temple hat is pulled down to sheild her eyes from anything eye level. You can see faint scars on her face, and her glasses shin in the moon light.

Jade's eyes snaped open, as she looked out over to see a women disterbing the peace. She pushes her glasses up the bridge of her nose, crouching, and leaps off the tree, scyth still in hand. She lands some fouty feet and looks around, sniffing the air.

A howl sounded in the distances. Jades ears twitched toward the sound. She looked longingly into the forest, then turned and walked away.

*Phia floated on the dark surface of the lake, it reflected the sky from which heavy wet droplets of rain fell down quickly and in large amounts. They ripped through the water's surface around her and fell on her face and body, her eyelashes heavy with them. Her hair spread out from its binding like dark snakes on the water. Pale body clad in little more then the black bikini she normally wore under her training suit which lay discarded in a dry spot under a tree next to her rapier. Her voice echoed softly through the rain*
Say you need me with you, now and always . . . promise me that all you say is true - that's all I ask of you . . .

In the sky, the sounds of thunder rang out above the lake. They were loud and frequent, causing some weaker trees to shiver each time it qould boom across the sky. The thunder didnt sound normal though, and the lightening wasnt really lightening. The light flashed in various colors ranging from white to incredibly dark colors that could be any tone of any color. This light and sound show went on for perhaps five minutes before there was what seemed to be the grand finale of it all. A huge blast of thunderous noise followed almost instantly by a miniature tsunami within the lake. Just before the tsunami had formed though there had been the faint sound of something hitting the water on the opposite shore of where Phia had been.

bloody 'ell! *Phia had managed to get out of the wave's path in time. She stood there, hoovering in the air, slightly confused, her glasses flew to her hand and she put them on, thanking Than mentally for the small enchantment on them. She tilted her head and moved over to where she had heard the noise of the thing hitting the water. Her foot dangled inches above the surface as she stared down*

*The unforseen weather did not hinder the mechanical squadron any. As droids, one of the first resistances they were given was to rain and water. By now everything was deployed. The last container had held 10 Beta Zenogais units. 5 of them were on the defensive and paired up with one of the remaining 5, which each held an odd device. What these little gizmos were was probably the point to the entire invasion. All of the other droids were simply defense while the Beta Zeno units set up whatever it was they were there to accomplish. The units did acknowledge Phi's presence, but they did not perceive her as a threat that needed to be dealt with yet*

Watching Raven walk away, Xol leapt high into the air just above the tree canopy. He manage to catch sight of one cylinder unloading it's last droids before disapearing back into the sky. Upon landing back on the ground a broad smirk snaked across his lip. "Mastema has sent toys for me to play with..." He growled quietly as the smirk twisted into that of a sneer.
His gauntlets formed over his hands and a large part of his forearms. They where onyx colored with strategically placed crimson runic markings, the bladed 'fingers' a golden color. "So... which of you wishes to be the first scraps of metal sent back to your master?"
A murky grey aura slowly formed around Xol's body. It was whispy, almost smoke like and would have looked like such if small streaks of intense blood red energy had not been coursing around it.
