Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Aye, or ignore ya'. Mostly a combination. 'Ow 'ever..."

Lacky chuckled as Nor entered the room and gave the guy the same sentence HE and any one after got when he went in to see the leader of the Chimera gang. He would have to be sure and tell Ryn later though. Any mention now and he would surly meet face to face with the floor... again.

This time they were lead down a long hall. Nor made it a point to be in the lead and move much faster than the other two. The further down the hall the more black fog seemed to roll into the under chambers of the secret hide out. Nor and Lacky both seemed confused about this phenomena.

"Oi, That's a bit odd..." Lacky said as he scratched the back of his head.
"Boss trying new tricks is he? Goin' all out for Ryn 'ere?"

Nor shook his head. "He wouldn't do that for such a small piece of scum..." He huffed. It was very unsettling to Lacky to hear Nor actually sound a tad bit scared. And that showed by his facial expression.

When they finally got to the end of the hall the black fog was so thick that the close walls were hidden by it. Nor walked into the room first signaling Lacky to follow closely.

"I'dda 'eleve so." Lacky Whispered back to Ryn. "Boss 's a fun prankster 'e is." Lacky's words were doubtful. He was trembling all over as a chill continually slammed at his spine.
Lacky held back a belt he had so Ryn could hold onto the other end.
"'ere, so we dun' get lost..." Nor Refused to hold onto the other belt Lacky had calling it childish and that he was being a coward.

As soon as they all were in the boss' room the thick stone door or the old temple ( now a secret base ) closed with a loud boom. The black fog shifted a little, but hardly noticeable.
Lacky jumped, holding tight to the belt and sticking close to Ryn. So close in fact that he was nearly touching.

"N-nor?" He squeaked and got no response. Nor,aside the boss, was the only one who knew where all the secret doors were. And how to open them.
"Not fun' anymore... C-common' Nor."


"....Ryn Gunnar" A demonic voice hissed mockingly. It was hard to pin point exactly where it was. It seemed all over the room, echoing with a tone that was like blades to the ears.

Lacky wasn't one for being clingy, but the fact that Nor had not said anything and has seemed to vanish disturbed him.
"Ryn? 'aint no Ryn here" Of course all he knew was Ryn's alias name.
He seemed to get a bit more confidence when Ryn was being cocky, but was short lasted. Ryn would feel a tug on the belt before it hung limp on the other end....
"NEHH-" Lacky now gone as well.

"Such bravery..." It chuckled darkly. "Or so in your mind."
The sound of metal tipped boots encroaching on the young pilot melted in with the demonic voice.
"In truth you are nothing but a scared child. Hiding from truth." Now another gun being pulled. The sounds still not in a clear direction.
"And now this child stands before the Judge. Is fate on your side, or shall you atone for your sins now?"

The creature laughed as Ryn stood up for himself. "When backed against a wall, you use words in hope to comfort your fear." The metal tapping stopped.
Six masks became just barely visible through the fog. Each surrounded Ryn only a few feet off.
The right eye glowed brightly, leering down on the rogue. Who or whatever the Judge was, it was tall. More than six feet.

"I can read your thoughts Ryn, every thought... every desire....every emotion.... every...plan" It chuckled " The Jury is outside watching over the land with my fog. One command and I will have your ZOID brought to hell."

Ryn would feel a slight tingle in his head, just behind his eyes, as the image flashed of a strange ZOID swirled about the fog.

"God has given me this duty... to clean the world of sinners such as you."

"Any who interfere are condemned..." All but the mask in front of him blurred a little than returned to normal. By now she was messing with his mind as it had done to so many before him.
"The military is not except from my Judgment... There is no difference in sin." A glowing right hand withdrew from the cloak of black fog, palm upward. Glowing with a low fire. The hand was metallic and each finger was equipped with extremely sharp claws. Only the mask in front had a glowing hand, the others moved the same, but their hand was only filled with shadow.

"You wonder if it is really true... don't you..." The hand flexed, the fire growing visibly hotter.

His first question was completely ignored. Again out of pure mockery.
"My sins will be accounted for when my mission is at an end... Murder, theft... still a sin. And there is no other word. Sin is sin child..." The Judge begun to back away, the five illusions vanishing in an instant. It laughed at the sight of the gun and the sound of the bullets hitting the ground.

"Do you really think a gun will be rid of me boy."

Lacky groaned from the opposite corner of the medium sized room.
"Nor... B-booss... 'omeone...... 'elp.... 'elp...." He groaned and tried to move. His body failing to do so.
His mind plagued and caught in a nightmare.

The judge shrieked like a banchie for what seemed an endless time. Than the shriek formed to hysterical laughter.
The fog lifted enough that Ryn could see the deceased body, shot by his bullets through the chest, of Lacky fall forward.

Behind that the flailing form of Nar could be seen, with his head gripped tightly by the burning hand of the Judge. The image was on each wall of the room viable through the thick fog, They all looked so real. The sound of Nar's thick skull cracking and sizzling echoed loudly. It only took seconds before the skull was completely crushed and flung toward Ryn. Six bodies of the same person surrounded him. Even Lacky's shot body was in copies all about the rogue.

The room was now thick with the smell of blood and burnt flesh.
"Now, lets see if your thick skull is as easy to crack...."
