Welcome to Gaia! ::

((Sorry, Ty! I was focusing on Chris, and I figured one of Ky's characters or Neo would take care of Demyan. lol I guess they didn't.)) Once Chris was situated, John quickly moved back to the holding cell where Demyan was supposed to be, to check in on him. It was empty. John cursed and radioed the control room to lock all the exits, but it was too late. A shuttle was already on its way out, undoubtedly loaded with Natasha and whatever parts he could snag from the repair dock where Natasha had been stashed.

((Well, sorry you felt out of the loop! sweatdrop Now that Chris and Al are out of commission, now there's less villain competition. So I guess we'll have to keep closer tabs on your charrie! 3nodding ))

((I'm looking forward to it. I consider you a worthy adversary, so let the best man win! Or woman. Whatever. lol))

((Yah! Well, I think that I am missing a rib, so... sweatdrop ))

Adalwulf sighed as he successfully, once again, destroyed the Data Swarm. In a way, he was glad he had gotten an adversary that was experienced like he was. But then, that could be a pain. He heard his stomach growl at him, so he got up and went to find a fridge to root through. When he was passing by in the hallway, he noticed that John was cursing to himself. "What's up John? You look angry as hell."

Demyan signaled to the Backdraft HQ to let them know he was returning. Thankfully, they didn't fire on the shuttle he and Natasha were in. If they had, he wouldn't need everything he'd taken. Though it wasn't much, he was pleased with himself. The shuttle docked in one of the many hangars and he stepped out of it, while Natasha moved a little slower.

While Kamon was busy in the hangar with Zero, still adjusting to the fact that he was linked with the suit, he couldn't help but think about what Chris would be like now. 'Will he be the same as back then... when it was just the four of us? Or will he be completely different...' Thankful that Zero hadn't taken alot of damage, he quickly finished, the nanites doing their work slowly, popping Zero's head back into place, and taking care of whatever minor damage there was. "Adal, John, what do you think is gonna happen now? And what do you think Chris said on that tape? I still haven't listened to it."

((lmao you've been hearing...or reading about them this long and you've just now asked? lol they are microscopic machines that move as a swarm and perform a certain task. usually in our case that task is to break down and reshape damaged metal.))

Byrd awoke after a few hours, and headed back to Epyon's bay in the hangar to finish programming. He passed by Zeta, seeing that the head was about finished, all that was left was the face plate and V-fins. He thought it kinda funny that Zeta X had variable fins and no slots on the mask, but it fit the suit well. Epyon's leg just needed painting, and set the crew to do that while he input the ZERO system. In 15 minutes, no mistakes, he finished it. "Wow, I usually take longer, and screw up. Now, how's my rifle progressing?" He looked over at its progress screen, and saw that all it needed was the battery. "Please, no twisted super suits with anti-matter guns this time..."

Koza decided to do a little clean-up around the hangar, seeing as the Tallgeese was fully fixed and functional. Seeing the ruined Snipe Buster sitting in the middle of the hangar, he walked up to a crew member and asked him why it was there. They replied "It's a little too heavy to move much farther than that with our equipment. I was about to ask one of you to throw it out." Koza agreed and jumped in the Tallgeese and picked it up and tossed the rifle into space. "Sayonara."

((lol me back....been busy for three days doin yard work and attending some special occasians and such.))

Al had helpped Chris up and Chris put an eye patch on his missing left eye. He walked out and it didn't take long before he came upon John, Adal, and Kamon. He didn't ingage them in conversation instead deciding to stand there.

Nick had fallen asleep after he and the crews had finished construction and he awoke in a computer chair. He looked around and saw the other three and not far off Chris. "Hey Chris! Come here I have a surprise for you." Nick waved Chris over.

Chris turned and walked over to Nick and followed him into a different hangar and looked around in darkness. When the door shut automated lights activated and revealed Dark Wing. Chris original suit. Chris slowly walked up to it and touched it's foot and looked up to see it's eyes flash. "Oh my old friend. How I missed you." The suit kneeled down and outstretched it's hand.

Nick was surprised that it immediately kneeled down. The A.I. had never done so with him. "How did you do that?"

"You must understand my friend. I made him. He's like a brother to me." Chris hopped onto the hand and was lifted up. From there he hopped into the opened cockpit. He sat down and felt the inside and then put his hands around the controls.

From outside Nick saw Chris move the head and right arm. He looked at the hand and then balled it into a fist. Nick smiled knowing he had made Chris a very happy man. "How is he? Good?"

"Perfect." Chris unfurled the wings and opened the hangar doors. He took off in a flash and began to zip around remembering how Dark Wing worked. Then he killed the thrusters and just let Dark Wing float remembering how he and Dark Wing would relax like this. "Nice to have you back buddy." He patted the small metal box that held the A.I. system and as he looked he saw the name on it had been changed back to Dark Wing. It beeped at him and he laughed. "Let's get back. I think it's time to atone for some of my sins." Chris flew back in and hopped out.

Nick watched as Chris hopped out. "Goin to go talk to some old friends? Careful what you say. Kamon was really hurt." Nick was directing a few technicians to install some of the new features to it. Like the beam resistance and nano tech.

Chris nodded and walked out. He looked and saw the three still talking so he went over to them. "Hey guys mind giving me a sec to talk to Kamon?"
