Suddenly came the loud banchi-like screech of the Jury. The land itself trembled at the underworld-ly noise. Some of the rogues dropped to their knees and begun convulsing into violent seizures. Most of this happened on the opposite side of the camp. People would be able to see a silhouette just on the opposite side of the black fog wall running circles around the entire camp.The silhouette faded in and out of sight as it passed by several times, kicking up and disturbing the black fog.  (( lol ignore the moon ))

((awesome Akbar Lol
Edit: You post fast GS >.<))
Marcia split with Blade and managed to get to the edge of camp as the dark fog started moving in... Instinctively she darted behind a tent keeping her back against the fabric. Being out in the open was the worst thing that anyone could do in this situation aside from running around like a fool. Marcia peered though the sand being whipped up by the storm, Damn it would be almost impossible to get across the sand back to Catastrophe.
There was some screaming in the background but she was much more interested in what was coming... Marcia noticed a rogue dash out beside her into the fog... A shrill cry came from him but then only silence.
She had to get back to Catastrophe somehow... Not to mention Quin was out there somewhere in Saga. He would probably be the only one who could help.
A shriek was heard from across the camp Marcia spun around, what the hell was that? she said catching a glimpse of the zoid as it passed her. Damn.. there was no getting out of this.

Nodding to the Bandit King, Blade looked around. The only places that weren't out in the open were the tents, but were those really that much safer than being outside? Running away was out of the option, so the tents really were the next best bet.
Grimacing at the whole situation, he quickly made his way to the nearest one. However, he paused as an unearthly screech caused his blood to chill.
What the hell was that!? was his only thought. As he looked about, he saw something large flicker through the fog. Whatever it was, it likely was the cause of all the chaos.
For the first time in awhile, he felt a strong sense of fear. Sure, he had been worried or anxious a few times recently. But it was nothing like this. Actually, it was vaguely reminiscent of the time he ran into that mysterious zoid in that was being transported to the Empire. Though what he felt then still wasn't much compared to this. Quite frankly, he was on the brink of panic here. The thief just barely managed to keep his wits about things as he willed himself to duck away into the tent.

Fubar managed a mechanical whimper before his entire form froze up, his 'eyes' darkened, and his body stood still as the boulders standing in the distance.
Hugo stirred from his thoughts, having formally lounged himself along one of the gryphon's forepaws. He turned his chin upwards to watch as the 'eyes' on his mechanical beast faded.
"Fubar...? Fubar! HEY! Fubar!" The boy knocked on the gryphon's leg- still no response.
He looked around frantically, only then noticing the black fog. A very familiar fog... it had crept into his village like a plague just moments before...
He closed his eyes and drew in a sharp, pained breath. "....spirits must have led you back here... devil." He reached for his side and freed the new dagger he'd been given. It was time to test it.
The boy threw his legs over the side of the claws and dropped down to the ground, his turquoise eyes searching through the incoming darkness. "...come on..."

As the other Ran off, Riot's next concern came to his mind. He couldn't see Hugo among the others as he head and gaze darted back and forth for any sign of the boy.
At the screech, Riot flinched to the ripping sound. A gaunt left his closed mouth, as one of his eyes close. Ander wasn't in the camp, where was he?! He knew that his second would have shown up if he was able to.
Turning Riot started in a run to the Zoids that where about to be taken over by the fog-Hugo. The leader couldn't help but feel a little responsibly for the new comer. After all the wanted to hunt the judge, and with this little 'meeting' he would most likely get himself killed.
There was no use yelling, he wouldn't be heard. Riot's strides quickly darted off and maneuvered him past the bandit's scrambling.
"Calm down! And get out of Sight!" Riot roared out to who ever heard him as he pushed and shoved the other's out of his way desperately moving to the Zoids.
Ahead Riot's blue eyes caught the sight of Hugo ready to attack the strange fog and let himself be engulfed by it. Pausing for a moment, he felt this shove from behind, as a man tripped over him. Riot's hands grabbed the collar of the falling man.
The man panicked, not from Riot but from everything that was happening. His eyes where wide and obviously frightened. Everyone was.
"fine cover!" Riot commanded the man before tossing him away from the fog. Zi help us all, there was no running. After the man's cloth left Riot's hand he turned back toward Hugo, and started for him his hand reached out for the blade's handle. While his other moved to be around the kid's waist to pull him away from the approching fog.

There came another screech from the Jury before the silhouette vanished for the final time. The walls of the fog extended again than creeped in closer. Than more shadows begun to emerge from the black fog. It looked like a mob of humans moving toward the camp. Through the mosh of person shadows, some looked to be holding long pointy weapons.
A third screech sounded from the Jury and every shadow gained crimson glowing eyes. One pair in particular stood out, these eyes were golden instead of crimson, it also seemed to be ahead of all the shadows.

As he stood in the tent, Blade had gone and drawn his sword. Not that he really thought it would help much against whatever was out there, but it at least made him feel slightly more secure to be armed and ready. Gritting his teeth as he heard another screech, he stared at the flaps that served as the doors to his little refuge.
He wanted to know what was happening here. At the same time, he didn't really want to know. Or at least he wasn't sure if he wanted to know. But curiosity had driven him enough to peek through the cracks of the flaps to try and see what was out there.
Another screech, and soon he was able to see eyes in the distant. It was almost as if an army had descended upon them all. But there was no way this was something from the republic or the imperials. Or even other Rogues for that matter.
"Who the hell are these people..." he muttered under his breath.

Hugo's body tensed like a drawn bowstring, ready to uncoil at any moment. Finally... he'd avenge his parents. His friends, his home. His hand tightened on the handle of his blade, knuckles whitening as he steeled himself. This was it!
A hand seized his, earning a sharp cry from the boy- more of a furious, startled sound rather than one of fear. He jerked forward to little avail, his legs kicking at both sand and air as he was dragged backwards. "NO! LET ME GO! LET ME GO! I HAVE TO FIGHT! STOP IT!"

s**t, she thought suddenly slipping into a tent. Like it would do any good. Marcia began to pace trying to think. There wasn't any escape at least not right now... And the zoid out there looked like a skeleton at least from what she could glimpse, would Catastrophe be alright if he entered the fog or would he shut down like all the others... But the other problem was she couldn't get to him. If he did shut down like the other zoids he'd be a sitting duck.
Marcia clenched her fist, this was the worst possible situation and she had to think of something. She took a pause from her pacing to peak out the tent flap. They were coming closer still... Marcia frowned this wasn't going to end well for anyone she let the flap fall closed once more. Getting worked up wouldn't help things.
She sat on a stool in the middle of the tent and waited.

The figures drew closer to the wall, than stopped just before breaking through. First the one with the golden eyes pushed through, walking as if he had strings attached to every limb of his body. He wore what looked to be an iron Chimera mask with me mouth open in a roar. Behind the mouth it was pitch black with wire tubes nearly protruding from the mouth. The man was about 6' 3" and had wires wrapped tight to his body. Starting from the neck, extending to each foot, each finger. It looked like the nerves system, but on the outside of the body. But the most distinguishing feature was the dark long hair that reached past mid back, and the tattoo of a long chimera wrapped around his right arm.
The tubes spout fourth fire giving the illusion of a chimera lion spewing a flamethrower. With this signal the rest of the shadows emerged from the wall. These were the entire of the Chimera gang that had been killed that fateful day. A good portion of them were most of the way rotted with much more wires controlling their every movement. And keeping them from falling apart. Many of them had their head's crushed and melted, and most all of them had broken ribs that were patched up with wire. (Though their heads were melted there was still some form of crushed and melted skulls were reconstructed with wire and fragments of shattered skull. )
All of these beings had a sphere like object in their chest where all the wires were connected. Each of them also looked to be able to spew flamethrowers, and a good portion did when they emerged from the wall. The army seemed endless... More and more emerged through the wall with more glowing eyes waiting behind them.
The one with the Chimera mask focused on Riot, but the others didn't seem to have any direction on targets, everyone but Riot was in their blood-lustful gaze.

As Riot marched away from the fog, his head still turned to it. Struggling Hugo took up his arm, he shoved the kid back as his attention was taken from the kid as one of the figures emerged
He didn't see if Hugo feel from the abrupt and admittedly rough shove. it had been for the boy's own good
"s**t...." Riot spoke taking a defensive step back as the 'leader' approached him. He ducked down a little for a more action orated attack or evade. s**t s**t s**t.
"Stay savvy Hugo." Riot turned his head slightly to Hugo behind him, his eyes never leaving the Zombie
"It looks like a fight boys and girls!" Riot roared to all that was listening and remaining in the eerie stillness, aside from the mechanical sounds the 'zombies' made while moving.
The usual smile was gone from RIot's lips as he looked to the golden eyes of the familiar controlled body. there was no way he was dead? was there?

The leader stole two scimitars from the zombies on both sides. With these weapons in hands he made a charge for Riot. The closer he got the more obvious his wounds had become. His neck still bleed from his previous encounter, along with his belly and burnt arm. The man was covered in bruises from head to toe. Mainly where the wires cling to his body and entered the skin.
When the leader took the charge the rest of them scattered and begun to attack random targets. As intimidating they were, they had sloppy movements as a puppet would. The leader was the only one who what clean precise movements. And he seemed to want to attack only one target.

Hugo's eyes darted from one figure to the next. The scene was too surreal, too inhuman. Even his nightmares hardly came close to the horror of the situation.
Stay savvy?...right. The boy steeled himself once more and crouched down, body tensed, blade held out to one side as the other came up in front of him to serve as a guard.
As the first figure lunged forward towards Riot, the boy took a deep breath and charged forward, releasing a cry as he ducked down and threw the blade upwards- a sharp blow that would slice up towards the attacker's shoulder if successful.

Riot was surprised by the blond whoosh that past him for attack at the leader charging him.
The bandit lurched forward with Hugo, stopping in front Riot swung his leg out and around to Hugo-not for a full kick but more so to crane him back from the hit and getting hit by his opponent; more so to wrap and shove him back with the leg(in a kick like motion). Riot was a fast one-he had to be to learn how to stay out of his brother's grasp.
"This one's mine, Hugo-protect the others." Hugo let out, not wanting harm to fall either one of his friends. His words for one didn't question if Hugo was 'able' to do so-but trusted that he did know what he was doing.

The leader didn't pause as he lunged for Riot. Blades 'x'ed in front of him as he lept for the king of bandits. The only noise it made was the sound of the metal on its body. No breath could be heard.
One Zombie, obviously female, staggered after Hugo swinging its arms lazily at the barbarian boy. The rest of them scattered like ants, destroying tents and whomever could not defend themselves against the weapon's blow.
