Welcome to Gaia! ::

"The hell? Of course I'm right, fuzz-face. Who do you think wrote some of those books?" Okay, so it was just one, and there were only a few copies, but still! "Don't worry about it, though, a'ight? It was probably trying to feed off your negative emotions. I doubt it likes being locked up and used as a battery. Looks like I gotta strengthen the barriers down there." There was actually a reason Jack was keeping a casual tone, and it wasn't because he was just insensitive. He just knew what it was like to feel so ******** up and lost, and thought Kratos would appreciate not being treated differently. "Anyway, all of this is very far off from the point. That point is we gotta keep any and all of my robots from getting anywhere near that sword. So! Dog-breath, minion chicks, and crazy guy, you with us or against us? I can sit here all day and debate just exactly why it would be a very bad thing for that sword to get into anyone's hands, or you dopes can just trust me and I'll explain later when things are safe again."

This was all so frustrating. It was too bad he didn't really have the time to go and look for classes on this new technology, let alone the time to take them. Perhaps he would try to find a library, if they managed to make it out of this mess. There was more than one cord stuck inside the screen, and Spy tried to follow all of them. Shame he had no clue what any of the objects were that the cords led to, save for the power outlet in a wall. Perhaps he should just unplug everything and see what happens?

((sorry to hear that Durban. i know how u feel. I wish i could do anything possible to make my girl happy especially during this holiday. lucky you though u can fix that right away. me i still have to wait a bit.))

Maverick looked at Oomizu nervously "Huh! oh her she is nothing i sware! she is just a girl who is helping us fight the cop bots i sware baby!" he told her "Shodan is back... she is controlling everything that is a machine inside the entire city!" he told her

Shodan grumbled "D...i.eeeeee" Before switching voices again "I still cant control her... please just get out of here"


Kratos and the girls looked at jack. Kratos spoke up. "At least i can probably do one good thing in my life" he told them...
The girls nodded "We follow Kratos. what he wills we will follow."

The guy however growled "Pathetic. i knew we couldnt trust you all to do as you were told. Thats why they sent me to make sure the orders were carried out" he said as he swipped the floor on the ground causing a wall of fire. "Im getting that sword, you all can just rot and die in this piece of s**t hideout while the real warriors fight and save our people "

Navi pouted "Come on Spy figure something out. put a sapper on all the wires you can if you have to. " she pleaded

Tomoe looked up at Miroku, sighing to herself before she looked over to Alexander, who was at her side. She mainly stayed quiet up until now, making sure that their small group was kept relatively safe. "This is ridiculous, we need to destroy that monster once and for all. Otherwise all of the soldiers who gave their lives for this cause would be for nothing." She whispered, gripping onto her fan a bit more.

Azmaria continued to run, now taking two automatic pistols out of their holsters on her hips as she began to spend rounds of bullets, finding that using Gospels or Sacreds wouldn't work on things not of the demonic nature. "We're almost there Neru!" She cried back to the blond behind her, continuing to pant heavily as they ran over the scattered bodies of the dead and dying. Tears began to come to her eyes, finding that this was the worst thing that she's ever seen in her life. "O cosmic Birther, from whom the breath of life comes, Who fills all realms of sound, light and vibration. May Your light be experienced in my utmost holiest. Your Heavenly Domain approaches. Let Your will come true in the universe just as on earth. Give us wisdom for our daily need, Detach the fetters of faults that bind us, like we let go the guilt of others. But let us be freed from that what keeps us off from our true purpose. From You comes the all-working will, the lively strength to act, the song that beautifies all and renews itself from age to age. Sealed in trust, faith and truth." She whispered as they continued to run towards where there was safety being provided.

Yuzuki looked around for a moment before she sighed to herself. "Well, Raidou's gone." She said as she gave a small pout before she dodged a few more attacks. She hid behind a broken-down wall, taking a moment to check over her systems and their functions. Looks like she could still take enough damage before she would be incapabile of defending herself.

Collette continued to drive the tank at full force, trying to be as delicate as possible, because she didn't want any innocent blood on her hands. Her ears perked up lightly as she heard Oomizu rant a bit and Maverick trying to console her and explain to her what's going on right now. "Hey, hey! Guys, c'mon!" The young psychic hollered quickly as she glanced back at the newcomers now in the tank before veering harshly to the right, barely missing another rocket attack. "We need to focus and get these people out of here not this petty s**t! It can wait!" Ugh, Mav, grow a pair. It's not like we're fornicating right in front of her! She thought to herself as she turned back, rolling her eyes slightly.

Raidou watched the two people fighting one on one at the swords keep. He looked over at Alexander and Tomoe. "Hey, what exactly is that sword? What can do?" He asked, looking to see more people coming this way. One of them being Yuzuki.

((Hey dragon, Orpheus, anyone outside fighting the robots can't see the ones headed towards the sword, and unless they're part of the last group they don't even know the sword exists. It's not out in the open for any and all to see, they're underground. The others, Miroku and Medic and all them, they're just inside the main building, probably near the safe room the people who can't fight are being kept.

Speaking of Medic I should probably put a post for him, but I'm tired and unmotivated and yeah.

Also, baby bunnies are so TINY AND FLUFFY ADORABLE. Gah they so cute!))

((It's good to know, however, that a night together cleans up nicely just like shamwow.))

Joseph listened to the conversation, even though he didn't understand half of what was going on. So, observing the battlefield, it became apparent that the fight was even for both sides. That meant he had to do something quick. He contacted the maiden within the black onyx set within his wrist. "Maiden. I need an army. Now." He told her. "It is possible. But the strain will make me unable to use any other spells for a while." The Maiden warned. Joseph simply ignored the warning and looked towarss the army marching towards the city. In return, the Maiden gave him visual instructions in his head on how to summon his army.

"Oomizu, give me some time. I'm going to tip the tides in our favor." He told her as the onyx on his wrist began to seep out black energy into the ground. "Souls of the damned and pure alike, I command thee to rise!" Joseph commanded. It was then that the souls of the army of Boletaria, with varying armor and weapons, began taking form at various points on the battlefield. "Defend thine master!"

Soap, in the meanwhile, continued to manuever the Hind as best he could to avoid any enemy fire that was shot at them. "All right, i'm going to make a sweep over the city to make sure that we eliminate any that may have breached. So watch for civillians!" Soap warned as he turned the chopped and began flying through the city.

((It's alright, love, we all slip up sometimes. heart ))

Spy was frightened that, at any moment, the robots still inside the lab would locate and kill him, especially now that he was basically leaving a trail for them to follow. He hadn't stopped placing Electro-Sappers, not knowing what was important to Shodan and what wasn't. Anything that was connected, anything that even looked like it might be connected, and a few extra things that just caught his eye, he sapped. The RED was paying close attention to where the robots were, what they were doing, what direction they were facing... Any moment now they were going to turn and start firing, and he would fire right back. There were no escape routes, no backup coming to his aid, no real chance of him making it through this alive, let alone unscathed. His heart was racing, he could practically hear his blood pumping in his ears, almost even see it in his eyes... It was actually quite thrilling.

"Nevermind zhem! Zhey look organic, und zhey are fighting against zhe machines, so focus on zhat!" the Medic ordered. "Don't give zhem a break! Zhey are veakened, so attack viss everyzhing you've got!" Now was the time to be destroying the enemy, not puzzling over allies.

Jack blushed. "Well, s**t, next time say something if you're gonna do that, instead of letting me look like an idiot!" he snapped, but there was no real heat to the comment. "I singed some of my hair, and now it smells." He brushed some of the soot off his head before looking back towards this strange guy. "You're outnumbered, outgunned, and overpowered. If you agree to leave now, we won't kill you," he began, tone serious once again. "I understand the lure of that sword; of the power it offers. But you will save no one with it. If you take it, today you will set off to destroy the Federation. After that, it will be anyone who doesn't have powers, a reverse genocide to what is happening now. After that, it will be anyone who challenges your authority. Then, anyone who so much as looks at you funny. You'll turn into a tyrannical overlord, never satisfied with what you have, exactly like the guy I was called in to help kill. Is that really what you want?"
