Welcome to Gaia! ::

((What be SRW? =| ))

Adalwulf stirred as the colony shook hard. Though he'd had near to eight bottles of alcohol, there was also years of experience under his belt. So, even after just a 5 or 10 minutes rest, or rather, state of unconsciousness, he woke up. "What's happening now...?" He called out drowsily, sitting up slowly. He rubbed his face and managed to catch what John was saying, and then Marie rushed by to where Misericordia was. "Oooh, that's what..." Standing and rubbing his back, he skirted around the fallen table, chairs and bottles he'd unknowingly knocked over, and went to check on his laptop. All the scans were done already, and he nodded in satisfaction. Tapping a few keys spaced out along the keyboard, he viewed the outside cameras to see the situation, turning on the place's auto-turret cannons. He picked it up with one hand then went over to Lillia in a slight daze, reluctant to bring her out into a fight again. Then he stood looking up at the cockpit, temporarily confused as how to get up there, his mind still fuzzy.

The colony the group had stumbled upon was hidden very well. Demyan would have never noticed it in the blackness of space. It was fairly small, though a few pilots were patrolling around the area as if their life depended on it. It took no effort to destroy them. He and the others went to where the hangar doors were, quickly closing up in response to some triggered alarm. "Oh, no you don't!" He grabbed one of the doors with Natasha's strong, bulky arms and held it open for the pilots to jet in, then he slipped in himself, letting the door seal up. They annihilated all of the forces that came out to meet them, then Demyan hopped out of Natasha, deciding to do a perusal of the small colony. Most of the rooms were empty, mainly because the only people who had been there were the pilots that had been killed. But one room, a spacious lounge, wasn't empty. There was a little girl laying asleep on the couch. He walked closer to her, surprised that a little girl would be there of all places, and so unaware of what was happening. He heard the 4 other pilots coming to follow him, but he gestured for two of them to stay at one of the two doors, and the other two at the other door. Then he shook the girl gently on the shoulder, crouching down to eye level and taking out his cigarette so he didn't breathe smoke on her.

Nick shook from the hit and went to his computer and saw that a large hole had been made through the entire colony. He was going towards Ater Mico when he heard foot steps then gunfire and he darted into his father's room and told him to hush. "We have intruders and Chris is here. Everyone else is outside or going that way. Come on." Nick tossed him a pistol which Jack fumbled with. Nick went with Jack behind.

Arianna slowly awoke and looked at the man. "Hello. Who are you?" Then she saw the people with guns at the doors and she sat up. "Who are they? Why do they have guns?" She then looked at the man again with fear on her face.

Nick and Jack looked around a corner and saw two people standing at a door. "Two guys. Heavy weaponry."

Jack drew a knife he carried and looked around the corner. "Once the first one goes down shoot the other. On three. One, two, three!" Jack went around the corner and threw the knife getting one of the two in the chest as Nick flew around beside him and shot the other in the head with the pistol he had.

Nick went over and made sure they were and when he looked up he saw it was the room Arianna was and that two more people were coming. He rolled out of the way just in time to dodge the shots that were fired.

When Arianna heard the shots she covered her ears and screamed. "Where's Dad? I want my dad."

When Jack heard her he became hardened, drew his knife out of the dead gaurd, and he flew out the door shooting the other two gaurds killing them and turning on Demyan. "Step away from her now!"

Nick came in after and pointed his pistol at Demyan.

Chris looked at three more blips obviously the gundam pilots. He flew right at them using the dark aura from his wings to cloak his gundam in a black veil that made him invisible from the direction he was coming. So when he was almost there he unfurled his wings making him instantly visible. He had drawn his solid sword and before any of them could react Chris had cut off Koza's left arm, Byrd's right leg, and was going for Kamon but he blocked it. "Hello Kamon. Nice to see you again." Chris pressed a button in his cockpit. "Let's see what the Final Function can do. Shall we?" Then a shockwave rocked the entirety of the colony and refinery. So throughout the colony and refinery people began to die. Some of those that didn't were screaming and holding their head. Chris began to laugh. "Unltimate Judgement! Those without inner strength die, those who are moderate go insane, and those with inner strength are left. I'm sure this doesn't affect many of you very much except for a painful ringing in your minds." Chris laughed again "Oh and gundams with A.I. probably are feeling pain right about now."

Nick had left Jack to deal with Demyan after a shockwave rocked the refinery but when he reached Ater Mico it was moving on it's own. It was holding it's head and flailing all over the place. "Empros what's wrong? What's going on?"

((how is the progress on the group shot going? and i have a bit of a twist to go here, i hinted at it for a bit :3 i think its feasible))

Zero didn't budge a bit blocking Censura's attack, and wasn't affected by the 'Final Judgement' either. "You'll have to do better, Zero doesn't have an A.I. system. You of all people should know better." Looking down, he let his hands leave Zero's controls, hoping he was right in his theory. 'Move... move... MOVE!' Zero's eyes flashed once more, and began to push back on Chris, moving the tiny suit backwards. Using an encrypted line, he spoke to John, confident Zero could hold off Chris for a few moments. "John, remember how Zero started moving on it's own, how it started going for a sabre, but then stopped? I have a theory. It's a long shot, but I think my mind is starting to link with Zero, from using the ZERO system so much." He began to breathe a bit heavier, it was tough controlling Zero like this. "You know I upgraded it to 2.5, but I never thought this would be possible. What do you think?"

((Gosh darnnit, Strider. Weren't you guys in the refinery, and not the colony? I killed all the guards outside of the place too, and none of the other characters noticed. Explanation please. >=| ))

Adalwulf took the vial in his free hand from John and looked at what was inside it. "Nanites, nanites, everybody's talking about zhese things..." He shook it back and forth. "What are they, anyway? Do I drink them, or something?"

((I know, Adal was at the refinery too, and I think all of the playable charries were also. I'm just gonna say that Nick and Jack are still at the refinery, 'kay Strider? Edit then? Sorry, but you confused me and Silas...))

Adalwulf examined his hand, confused that there were no wounds. He watched John leave the hangar then, and he climbed into Lillia, feeling the effects of the nanites quickly. He plopped down in the seat and closed the hatch, the systems turning on as he rubbed his eye sleepily. He heard John yell over the radio to Kamon about the colony they'd left for the refinery mission. "Hey John, mind if I come with you? It's not like I'm going to put up much a fight here, anyway."

((...Gah, good enough. I'll just say that Demyan went to another part of the refinery, which looked like a colony, and Arianna was brought there after the battle. Silas, does that unconfuse you too?))

Adalwulf gave a loud laugh and went out of the hangar, finding John in the MO4 just on the outskirts of the main fight. "Yeah, I hear you there. Right now, I guess you could say that I'm just winging it." He moved Lillia a little farther from the battle and closer to the MO4.

Demyan heard the shots and the thumps of the bodies hitting the floor. Then came the click of a gun's hammer, but the person didn't shoot, and the second one left. The little girl looked relieved, so the person must be her father. Demyan raised his arms up to show he had no weapons in his hands. "Calm down, calm down. I am not going to hurt her." He let his right arm lower down a bit, enough so that the bright tip of a blade poked out. He turned his head a little to look over his shoulder at the man with the gun behind him. "But if it comes down to it, do not think that it will stay that way." His Russian accent came out prominent but soft, as if seeing the little girl and her father reminded him of his own childhood, when his father himself worked for Backdraft. His cigarette was starting to burn down, so his crushed the end off before it burned him. "Now, you are her father, correct? Maybe we can work out a deal." He smiled harmlessly.

"My dobergun! You'll pay for that! and by the way, I don't use any extra systems except ENGAGE, you should no that."

"Nor I, just ZERO. and one leg, so what. I can be replaced. I can still fight!" Byrd and Koza backed off, defending the colony in case any other suits decided to attack.

((Sorry 'bout that, Silas... sweatdrop Well, good luck on the SRW thingy! *thumbs up*))
