Welcome to Gaia! ::

Saria Maru Skips drunkenly into the fray.
"Hello everybody! Anyones wants sum of my nummy Taaeaaa?!"
Saria Shouts holding up a bottle and swaying slightly.

Sady slowly tapped her fingered on the wall as everyone talked out a plan. She absorbed everything and pulled out her other gun.

I"m with them. Let's do this already.

Rogue...Lydia thought, giving the vampire elder directions as to where Lydia was. The psychic knew the layout surprisingly well. Who did you bring with you? I believe Will want to get just about every immortal and hunter here to destroy this place and to get Mauser. Come quickly, we are discussing what to do.

Turning to Edith as she spoke, Lyida gave the huntress a hug and a smile to calm her. "I am fine, Edith. It has partly to do with be being a psychic and how those powers were imparted to me. Before I forget..." She dug a hand into her pocket and pulled out the scanner.

Walking over, Lydia handed it to Will. "Keep this safe. If Mauser and Sniper manage to turn the control chip on, this will turn me back. It is already on the correct frequency, and all you need to do is scan it over the exposed chip behind my right ear. Do not loose it...I do not know if I could get another one if this was lost, and I doubt I would escape the AI a second time on my own."

Shawn followed his sister, Kaei, up the stairs watching her back. He had never doubted Kaei, or Rogue what she seemed to call herself these days.

Will was silent as the other Hunters ludly discussed amongst themselves how they were to proceed. Tyler wanted to make a heroic last stand, sacrificing himself to let them get away; unacceptable, especially since Will wanted them all right here where they were, in the middle of the viper's nest where they could hunt all the little snakes down and cut off their heads. The others wanted to stay together and cause havoc while waiting for reinforcements. But Will couldn't fully concentrate, even as his Hunters turned to him for directions. He was stunned, totally and completely stunned by Lydia's last words to him before the others showed up.

She loves me? SHE LOVES ME? Oh man oh man. Lydia, your timing is impeccable. He knew he cared about her, very deeply in fact. But he hadn't given much consideration as to whether he LOVED her or not. How was he supposed to know if... Pausing, Will remembered how much he wanted to kill Mauser for touching Lydia, how he'd instantly hated the man for his demeaning comments about her. Will had basically spat in Mauser's face when the man had delievered his offer. But if Will had any belief that Mauser would treat Lydia as a human being is meant to be treated, that he'd let her go if Will asked it as a condition... Then he would have accepted. He'd been willing, even if only for a brief second, to betray everything he was... for her safety. That spoke volumes just how deeply he truly did feel about her. If that wasn't love... what was?

Shaking himself out of these thoughts, Will gotdown to business. He already knew what he wanted the gathered Hunters to do. "Tyler, permission denied, and if you EVER come up with a hairbrained scheme like that in my presence again unless there really isn't any other choice, I will PERSONALLY kick your damned furry a** so ********' hard it'll take you at least a MONTH to heal enough to sit down again, even WITH lycan healing. Alright gang, here's the plan. We'll divide into three groups. Group one will be led by Krii'Ouse, and they're going to go up and systemacically tear this place apart floor by floor and killing everyone opposing them, creating as much of a distraction as they can. The second team, which i'm putting under Lydia's control, will fight their way down and join up with Rogue and any other reinforcements that have arrived, making sure to take out as many security systems and guards down as they can while moving swiftly. Krii'Ouse, Lydia, I'll leave the divisions of the teams up to you. Divide the Hunters evenly between you, and take who you feel will be most useful to your individual missions."

Will was about to turn away, when Skiaska spoke up. "Will? You said we were splitting up into THREE teams. You've only named two. What's the third one doing, and what aboput you?"

The Hunter leader winced, just knowing that they'd object, before firming his resolve. This NEEDED to be done. Even if they didn't like it, he make them see that it was nescessary. And they would do it. Because they were all good Hunters, good soldiers in this hidden war, each and every one of them an unsung hero. And because they were they'd follow his orders, even if they didn't agree."

"I'M the third team. While all of you are distracting the guards and making as much chaos as you can, one person can move through the building quickly and relatively undetected. My job is to hunt down Mauser, and cut the serpent that is the Archangel Organization off at it's very head. I'm going to find him, and I'm doing it alone."

As he thought, several of them began to protest his intentions, Krii'Ouse in particular was very vocal while Lydia just looked scared. Will practically rorared at them, cutting off their complaints in an instant. "THOSE ARE MY ORDERS! Mauser HAS to be eliminated! If he gets away, he can regroup and start again later! A group of people heading towards his command center or his quarters will easily be dectedted and he'll be alerted that we're closing in on him. When that happens he'll run to fight another day, striking back at us from the shadows one again! If a single person goes after him, they can get close enough that he won't know that they're after him until it's too late for him to get away! I HAVE to do this! And all of you need to carry out your own missions and leave me to tak care iof mine!"

Will surveyed the silent Hunters, a stern expression on his face. "I'm not ASKING you to LIKE it, I'm TELLING you to DO IT!!! Now get moving!"

Before turning away from them, Will spared a soft glance for Lydia and projected a mental message to her, knowing that if he died in the coming fight without letting her know his feelings that he'd never forgive himself. *Lydia? I'm sorry, but I have to do this on my own. I can't risk Mauser getting his hands on you again. I... I think... that... I love you, too, Lydia. I promise... I'll do everything I have to to make it back to you. We'll talk later. Now go.*

Cutting off his thoughts from Lydia, he handed the scanner she'd given him to Krii'Ouse with a grunt and quick instructions. "You need to keep that safe, old friend. Lydia depends on it. Protect it with your life."

With that Will hefted his impromptou longsword and stalked off, a hunter on the trail of his prey. Mentally, he smirked. Get ready Mauser. I'm coming for you.

As William depicted what Krii'Ouse was to do, his face went into a manical malicious grin. 'No problem. YOu can kiss the security systems goodbye before they even see us.' he said, tapping his temple. Then, the Hunter Leader detailed his part of the mission.

William roared at them all to get going. The Hunter Lycan's face went grim. full of anger. 'Dammit, Will!' he cried after his Alpha Male. The ninja trained Briton looked to his Hunter brethren. 'Tyler, Kerrigan. With me.' he ordered. He drew his daisho slowly, angrily. 'We're going to have some fun...' His eyes began to glow red. He was bloodthirsty.

He stalked up to a doorway, leading to some stairs./ He kicked the door down, the metal portal slamming into the stairway, and making a ramp up the first flight, ironically. The Hunter walked up to the ramp, and simply leapt up the first flight.

He called down to the two he'd ordered to follow. 'You coming, or what?!'

tyler just smerked, roaring he leapt up onto the wall and began to skuttle along it, climbing the stairway and digging his claws into the side of the walls. he was ready to kill, he craved it, he wanted to kill so baddly. and yet he didn't know why.
