Welcome to Gaia! ::

Rei nodded again. "Alright, Well I think we should get going then, unless there are any objections." He said looking to their faces, looking for any sign of refusal. He then began to walk towards the street and wait for them.

"Okay, give me a minute." Holly asid as she ran back into the bar for about five minutes then came back out with a backpack on her back.
"I'll show you guys the way." She smiled and started to go towards the outskirts of town.

((Gah! I hate short posts! We get almost NO WHERE!))

'This house is a $hithole...' thought Alekssander to himself. He turned to the others. "Well, at least we have home base now, right?" He laughed to himself, but the laughter quickly turned to a sigh of desperation. "There's a lot of work to be done here. I see a lot of missing equipment."

Rei looked about the few rooms. It wasn't a bad place, but they might need to expand soon. "Wow, Cozy." he said laughing a bit. He looked at the table, and then to the small almost torture-chamber like room. "Well, It's fine with me..." He said looking around again.

((I thought your characters name was holly, not ruth?))

Rei laughed a little to himself as he laid back on one of the cots, his hands behind hes head. "Well, I've got nowhere better to be..." He replied before sitting up again and wandering about. he found himself at the surgery table, inspecting the tools, and imagining what they were for, shuddering at each thought.

"Alright, I'll take first sentry shift while you guys can get familiar with the room and make a list of things we'll need for long term residence. I'll be back in two hours. The warning signal will be one long wistle followed by five short ones." Holly said as she grabbed a jacket that she'd left two nights previous on the desk then left through the secret passage.

Once she was on the top floor she paced calmly from the bedroom, to the bathroom, to the living room, kitchen, through the back door, around the house twice, through the front, and started over. The night had a slight n** to it; winter was approaching. She slipped on the old red plaid zip-up jacket and raised the hood, putting her hands in the pockets while keeping her mind completely open for any trace of a mind other than the ones below her feet; but still keeping her own mind gaurded.

((And so the sleepovers begin! Whoopee! But the question is, will anyone else join to be the bad guy, or will one of us have to make another character?! Tune in next week to find out the answer! But seriously, one of us needs to do something about the...stagnantness of this whole thing. Needs some action.))

After about an hour of walking in circles Holly got tierd and decided to settle for watching from the roof where she could get a nice veiw of the area all around them. She crawled on top of the fragile roof and sat facing the labs.
The lights were on and she could see the general structure of the building, but no details.
She sighed and rested her head in her hand, "So unreal...I can't believe I'm here...If only Drake were here too."

((Gah! I'm going to add some drama...So don't be angry. This needs some action finally.))

"Target spotted." He whispered into his walkie-talkie.
"Confirmed, we are surrounding the building." A voice crackled back.
"On my signal, over."
Silence then filled the air as they crept slowly forward, taking ages to move only a foot.
His heart pounded in his chest, he always got this way on missions, but this one felt different. Something about the number seemed so familiar and the picture of the girl seemed also eirily familiar, but he didn't know how.
He could sense her mind probing the air so he masked the minds of his fellow Special Police men as they stalked though the night.

Holly felt a shiver go down her spine and it made her uneasy. She felt as if there was something out there, but she just couldn't sense it. She stood on the roof nervously, "Alex, Rei? Is that you?"

Her voice sent a strange pang of some emotion through him, but he quickly ignored it, "Ignore it, focus on the mission. Capture and retrieve. Focus."

Holly jumped down from the roof and went inside the house, looking around cautiously.
"This isn't funny, be serious, guys." She called out, cursing the nervousness in her voice.

"Now!" He whispered harshly into the black box on his shoulder and they rushed forward, breaking into the housein a flash. All six of them surrounded her in an instant, guns pointing at her.
"Don't move, EC, we know who you are, 307." He yelled at her.

Holly screamed when they surrounded her, the sounds of their boots echoing through the empty house.
Quickly she remembered the whistle signal and whistled as loud as she could then tried to break through the circle around her, kicking one of the guys in the throat.

He grabbed her by the arms while his comradeheld onto her hard. Through his tinted face mask he could see the fear in her deep brown eyes as he held onto her tightly.

Holly gasped as she recognized the face behind the mask, "Drake?!"
Tears flooded her eyes and she lost all control over her emotions, sending pain and sadness through everyone in and under the house.
"I thought..."

He felt her pain and something within him awoken, his own feelings washing over and covering up Holly's.
"Holly...?" He choked, his grip loosening.

"Come on 306, let's go, we have her." His comrade said as he pointed a tranquilizer at the back of Holly's neck.


((Dun dun dun! What with Rei and Alex do next?!?! lol))

"I'm on 'em." Growled Alekssander, taking out his spiked whip and chasing after the ones that were trying to get away. He caught the first with his whip, bringing him down and punching him in the face, destroying it. The next one he caught in the jugular with the whip, making him bleed to death. But there were too many still. Despite this, Alekssander smiled. Letting out a ferocious scream, he transformed into his Devil Form. Claws, fangs, and wings appeared, while the black hair on his head grew much longer. Also, Alekssander's eyes began to glow red.

Now fully transformed, Devil Alekssander went back to work while the special police stood in awe. He slashed one with his claws in the face, then gouged his fangs into face on another. With only two left, he summoned the power of darkness to swallow one, while Devil Alekssander readied his whip. Once he reached the other, he looped his whip around his neck several times. The special policeman could do nothing but spasm in horror as he started to flap his giant leathery wings. In an instant he took off with the end of the whip in one hand and the other end wrapped around the special policeman's neck. The effect was instantaneous, the special policeman's neck snapped, bringing much delight to Devil Alekssander.

He immediately returned to where Holly and Rei were, not bothering to untransform. Rei was holding Drake aloft, and Devil Alekssander grew hungry at the thought of more blood to be spilled. Still, he awaited Holly's word of decision on Drake.
