[Mission] What Once Was Lost (Blade,Puddle,Ice) [FIN]

[Gestalt Effect]

Zutnic's head perked up at the request. All previous despair was lost as he nodded. "Yes!" He hissed happily than took off down the canyon, only to return with both tails nearly tucked moments later. He positioned himself in front of Bent and let his tailed move to either side of him with blades pointed forward.

*humph* "It suits you." He watched the flying ZOID with a certain disgust. Of course his pilot would have such a bright colored abomination. He'll have to fix that. Cesar watched Zutnic take off than return with a strange air about him. Fear? Typical. He looked back down the canyon. "Ranee, stand at attention. Greatness is among our ranks."

The obliterator lifted his head proudly than puffed a small jet of flame from his Maw. A display Zutnic hissed at than mumbled something in his type's tongue.

The ground shook as the sound of thunder seemed to echo throughout the canyon walls. On the opposite end of the canyon distorted as a massive blurred figure approached disturbing the ground and creating a cloud of dust around the massive figure's feet.

*Screeeeeeee!* The banshie-like screech echoed in tune with the steps.

Than in the next moment the cloak was dropped and there was the Jury in all it's skeletal glory and without the veil of black fog to conceal its form. It had changed since their last encounter, now it resembled more the form of the legendary sleipnir, though still bearing the long ram horns. The tip of the horn positioned between his eyes just barely peeked over the canyon wall reflecting the sun's light off its ivory surface. He loomed toward the group with no weapon's drawn, all four scythes were in the resting positions on its back while the two humanoid-like arms rest tucked into its side. Its piercing red eyes focused beyond the group to the dark hall behind them.

Nick emerged with Kagi not long after the Jury had dropped its cloak. She looked up to the approaching massive ZOID with a with a grin. The excitement of the approaching 'upgrade" was too much. And here was her shining steed to whisk her away to the 'future'.

"He really isn't all that bad when you get to know him." Nick chuckled darkly. Jury was a work in progress...  

[Blade Kuroda]

Ranee's Zoid had come into view, and Zutnic ended up returning in a hurry. Furrowing his brow, Shun held onto his gun a little more tightly. That probably wasn't a good sign. And sure enough, the ground began to shake, nearly throwing him off balance. Spotting the distortion ahead, the Jury had decided to reveal itself. At least, it seemed like the Jury. It had changed since the last time they had seen it.

Frowning at the sight of it, he stood in place, before glancing back as Nick and Kagi emerged.

"Is that so?" he asked a little flatly.

The soldier wasn't particularly thrilled to be this close to the monsterious Zoid. They were currently within 'good graces' with the Judge, but that didn't give him much reason to completely relax.

The sight of the large and powerful one had Bent-Tail huddling down behind Zutnic to an extent.  

[Gestalt Effect]

Nick walked toward the Jury than stopped once she was a good few feet past the group. Kagi remained behind with his tail thrashing in irritation. He wasn't too keen on being told to remain behind once again.

"Not when you figure out he is as susceptible to the fog as everyone else." She turned around with an eerie smile.

The Jury's canopy opened with a hiss. Thick cords emerged from the cockpit and quickly snaked their way toward Nick. Once they made contact with her body they plugged in into her right arm and the right side of her face. The glow in her eye immediately shut down and her body became limp. Before she could fall forward the rest of the cords wrapped around her body than pulled her into the monster ZOID's cockpit.

The Jury's eyes flashed as the canopy was sealed shut. He hissed at the group than begun to walk away.  

[Blade Kuroda]

Shun raised an eyebrow at that statement. The Jury was affected by the fog as well? That seemed a little odd to him. But perhaps its effects on it were a bit different than how it seemed to affect other zoids. Grimacing, he watched as it pulled Nick into itself in a rather horrifying manner. It was reminiscent of when he first ran into her; the chords that latched onto her body during the final gauntlet run out of that damn temple.

After watching the Jury move on away for a moment or so, he turned to start walking.

"We better get going to. It should be safe to go fetch Fang now." he said before casting a glance to Kagi who still remained here. He had to wonder what the organoid was going to do in the meantime.  

[GunSniper]

Kagi ignored the humans completely as he eyed the sky than the direction the Jury had left. His tail swayed a little. Of course he could have to accomplish -that- first.

The organoid let out a low rumbling growl before he shot up into the sky in a blaze of red light. His light trail could be seem even seconds after he had vanished into the sky.

Zutnic and Cesar exchanged looks before following his flightpath with their eyes. Organoids were such a strange breed... This would sure bring about a turn of events within the Judge's court.
