*The transport "Itchuno" lands on Aomori station. A group of six people exit the armored transport with the enthusiasm of old men who just realized they no longer have a life...The group is greeted by one of the GMG guild masters and is asked to wait in the docking bay until he returns...the small group was quite a sight, all their clothes were either burned or slashed. No one in a particular talking mood or even caring of their surroundings...*
*Derilos takes a seat on a cargo box and looks around, the commotion and movement wasn't making him feel better and the dull look of the station seemed to make it worse. On top of that half of his group was missing...he looked down at his ragged clothes and noticed his shirt was nearly ruined and his pants was almost the same. He looked up at his small group.* "Man that was some battle hmm?" *Dere'l was staring into space, probably looking over the battle and how it happened. She looks up, a sad face full of emotions ready to pop.* "Yeah, I wish xhexis was still with us though..." *Derilos got up and rested his hand on her should to comfort her.* "It'll be fine, just you wait...Faust...go see what's taking them so long with our private quarters..." *A slender man looked at him, a bag now covering his face with a single hole carved out so he could see.* "But sir-" "I know...what he said...but it'll be much better for all of us once we get some rest..." *Faust got up, and walked off in the direction the GMG guild master was headed...*
*Faust took his time down the cramped corridor, trying his best not to make a sound. His ears were killing him..oh wait...yeah he still has them. He lost his "looks" in the last battle...he wasn't sure what else he lost. At the end of the corridor he entered the cafeteria, figuring he was going the right way he continued down another corridor and entered the sleeping quarters. Door after door was marked with numbers he couldn't see properly...he randomly choose a pathway and took it. He really couldn't be bothered. Entering a new set of pathways he again chose randomly and proceeded. He must have been lucky today, because there was the guild master and someone else, looked like a bounty hunter or something....whatever.* "Umm sir?" *The guild master turned around and nearly jumped out of his skin.* "Good god man!" *Faust didn't even care what he was so jumpy about.* "The boss want's to know when our private quarters will be ready?" *He straightened himself and looked him in the...eye...a sort of warm smile on him.* "Ah yes yes your living quarters are almost done, but please come with me you look like you need a good doctor..." *Trying to take his hand, Faust withdrew it, his voice remaining the same, tired and bored tone.* "But I must get back to my boss.." *The guild masters smile faded a little.* "Sir, you seem like you are wounded, please allow me to take you to a good doctor..." *Faust looked into the man's eyes..he wished he had both of his eyes back...starting to feel a little sick he allowed the guild master to take him to a doctor.*
*It had been a few minutes and Dere'l looked at her watch. Seven minutes had past and no word from Faust...* "Umm, boss...Faust-" *A man came running up to the group. Gasping heavy, he composed himself and addressed the group in a friendly manner. * "Please follow me..." As the Group got up, Dere'l noticed Escuarde was very quiet...but now that she thinks about it...they all have been like that after the battle...silent...* *As they were walking to their quarters they were given a tour of the place...so many restricted areas...but at least those areas that wasn't restricted were easily accessible....otherwise it would be stupid to have a restricted area cutting off something like the cafeteria from being accessed...* "Boss?" *Derilos looked at her, soft and caring just like she remembered him.* "Boss what about Faust?" *The tour guide must have over heard her, because he spoke up really quick.* "Mr.Faust as you call him has been taken to our medical wing after his face started bleeding or something like that...he will be back as soon as he is fixed up..." *Dere'l refrained from looking upwards for the rest of the tour...she couldn't help but feel bad. She didn't want to lose ANOTHER crew member...after so much was already lost.* "And here are your sleeping quarters...you are free to choose who has what they are-unfortunately all the same." *Keys were given to Derilos and they were left alone...*
*Hersin looked at Derilos waiting for him to make a decision...any decision...but all he did was toss out the keys to everyone and search for his room. Man things had gone from good to bad in a flash...and no one was liking it but...wait...there were only five keys...dammit.* "Boss? There are only five keys here..." *Derilos found his door and inserted his key...man things were low tech in this area...he didn't bother to look at Hersin.* "Just share a room..." *with that he went inside and locked himself in...* "Share...he did say share right?" *Hersin looked over at Yhanu* "Well um..." *Yhanu looked at him and caught on to why he was confused.* "Oh heeeeell no!" *She snatched his key and looked at Dere'l.* "C'mon sweetie give Hersin your key, you can sleep with me.." *Dere'l looked at Yhanu like she was crazy.* But why-" "This room is far away from these foolish boys and we all know what escuarde thinks about you..." *Dere'l threw her key at Hersin and ran inside her new room. Yhanu looked at everyone else...yeah they all needed a good night's sleep...* "G'night fella's!" *She entered her room and locked it.* Hersin picked up his key and entered his room without a word...*
*Escuarde entered his room, dropped his backpack next to his bed and looked at his cramped space. One bed, a mirror, no bathroom or window...nice...He laid back on his bed and began looking over what had happened...the battle...losing half of the group...being lucky enough to have met the GMG...yeah very lucky. But what about Faust? Will the group lose him too? Man he needed to get his mind of this. Escuarde pulled out a pencil and paper and began to draw. He loved drawing Dere'l, but he could never get her features just right...something always ended up being wonky or unrealistic.* "Oh hell something is wrong with me...I'm hungry..wonder if they are still serving food..." *Getting up he headed out, keeping his key in his pocket he headed for the cafeteria.* "Journal entry...part one? Nononono, scratch that...Journal entry one...yeah maybe..." *Derilos was sitting on his bed, trying to focus and write out what had happened.* "On a routine patrol, I was sent a distress signal from one of our undercover units...'he was working in the Kruger fields and he was one of my most trusted members' he reported that he just got raided by a corsair...so I had to intercept that corsair to make sure..it didn't happen again...just a friendly thing...I was lucky enough to catch him on his return route. He was an arrogant one...and pushed my buttons easily, I opened fire on him...and he easily escaped....upon his escape he sent a transmission to the corsair empire. Claiming me to be a traitor and in doing so our struggle began..."
*Faust entered the medical room and was asked to lay down on the bed. It was warm and soft. Much better then the last bed he had. The thing was like a rock...in fact Faust was sure it HAD rocks in it...that's what you get for living a bad life right? A nurse was looking over a patients file across the room, and Faust was really missing his "fix". He sat up and raised his hand...as if that would get him noticed better.* "Excuse me m-miss? I am wondering how long I am to be here?" *The nurse looked over, a beauty to behold, but Faust felt nothing...as a killer should...* "I will be right with you sir!" *A smile on her face...as if this day was something to smile about....* "As you wish.." *He laid back down and rested his hands on his stomach. He thought back to the battle...they had to abandon everything and just run, the corsairs really wanted them dead...the nicely dressed nurse with the short skirt came over to his bed* "Now sir, let's have at you...let's start with your name and age?" *Yeah Fuast really wasn't going to like her...*
*Dere'l stood next to the door, exhausted. After today's event she was looking forward to a nice long bath. Looking around she soon realized there was no bathroom in the place.* "Hmm no bathroom...really.." *Yhanu obviously must have noticed too because she was headed out the door.* "I'll be back, I'm just going to see if I can find the showers and stuff in this place." *With the door closed, Dere'l was all alone...she sat down next to the door....and cried...for a few minutes. She knew she had to go talk about today, the most logical choice...the boss. Dere'l stood back up and composed herself. She wiped away her tears and headed for the boss' room. When she stopped in front of the room, a dark feeling immersed her...as if the walls themselves felt pain...she knocked twice and waited like she always did. A small rumble was heard, as if the boss was caught off guard...she always did that to him. Always showing up at random times...* "Wait a minute..." *A shuffle or two was heard and the door was opened.* "Ah...Dere'l please come in..." *The door sealed them in, they were both silent for minutes...when they both looked each other in the eye, they knew.* "Hmm, yes you can...c'mere" *Dere'l ran into Derilos' arms. He had always been like a father to her, she had nothing and he had protected her when she needed it most...in truth..she was the only person she could ever trust...*
*Hersin looked down at his small room....just nice...a bed and what might have been a small mirror...nice, Hersin never really liked mirrors anyway...looking around his first job was realized....cleaning and A LOT of it.* "Damn, you think it would be hard to clean up such a small room, damn bastards...but they do have a lot of tenants...ah well let's get started..." *Hersin looked around for his case....nope not in here...probably being unloaded from the dock or something...just nice..* "Ugh I cannot stay here for long...I'll head out and wait for my case..." *Hersin took his key and placed it in his back pocket then headed out. After almost getting lost and with the help of a resident, he found his way to the cafeteria. Just one more corridor to the...there sitting alone was Escuarde, a small plate of food sitting in front of him. He was carelessly playing around with the stuff, whatever it was. Yeah time to make up for lost time...and by time I mean apologies...Hersin moved up to the cafeteria's serving counter and helped himself to what escuarde was having. Hersin sat down on the opposite side of the table and began to chow down with Escuarde giving him a hard stare...yeah...let's get this over with...*
*Yhanu had done it, bathrooms! finally! wait....oh HELL NO! Looking around at the horrid place, dirt seemed only a foot step away for both mens and women's showers. Yeeaaah...someone needs to fix this...someone like...Hersin! Yeah the guy is a clean freak, once he sees this place he wouldn't want to do anything else but clean it! Yeah I need to go see him. Yhanu took the fastest route back she could remember. Upon arrival she knocked on Hersin's door.....no answer...she tried again...* "OI! Keep it down over there!" *A new "neighbor" trying to get some sleep...wonderful. Oh well, Yhanu decided to go talk with the GMG guild master on a personal level...yeah this was just an injustice that needed to be fixed. BUT! She had to go check on Dere'l first....taking a quick peek inside she didn't she her in the room. This meant one thing...the boss, everyone in the group knew she had a thing for him, and everyone was sure the boss knew it too...the lucky girl...* "Now where was that guild master..."
*Escuarde stared at Hersin. He purposefully sat in front of him. It was obvious what he was doing...he wanted to apologize...but...then again it had taken the bastard atleast five months to come up with something to say...long enough for him considering who he was and what he did. Escuarde didn't say a word, he just sat there and waited. He was very patient, after all he has been waiting for this for months-oh screw it.* "Well? You have something to say to me?" *Hersin finished his food, wipe his mouth and then looked Escuarde right in the eye.* "I'm...sorry, if I had only known...I...I...things...they wouldn't have been like this. Again I'm sorry." *Escuarde stood up and walked away from the table, he didn't bother to look Hersin in the eye anymore, he didn't deserve it.* "Yeah, apology accepted...for now..." *Just as he was about to leave, Yhanu came from the corridor, a serious face obviously present.* "Out of my way.." *Yhanu stepped aside, she probably noticed Hersin and guessed what had gone down. Escuarde took his time getting back to his room, it annoyed him he had to squeeze past sometimes in the cramped corridor. He just couldn't take it, he lost his sister due to Hersin..the fool had made one mistake...just one...and his sister was lost forever...why...he knew what he was doing...why would he purposefully make a mistake like that...Escuarde looked at the bleak wall of the corridor, with no one around to see him, Escuarde punched the wall, furious of the life fate had given him. With tears going down his cheeks, he punched the wall until his knuckles bleed...*
*Back at the medical wing, Faust was having bandages wrapped around his uncovered head. With no hair on his head at all and one eye working, he must have looked like a freak and he knew it. The nurse had done her best to keep her composure but let's face it, he wasn't a pretty sight. There was some bleeding one his face or something, but he hadn't felt it. He did now, it hurt like a...a...snail being crushed by a human foot. Yeah that makes it obvious...but Faust kept his cool easily, partially because of his "fix" which was now wearing off. He really needed to get to his backpack. He hated anyone who knew about his fix and so far only Derilos knew and that was because Derilos was the one who introduced him to it.* "Nurse? How much longer?" *The nurse gave him a smile...ugh...* "Just a moment sir, almost done.....ah! There we go!" *She took a step back and was probably feeling better, it seems as if the bandages had covered more then just the wound...which explains why she seemed comfortable around him...* "Am I allowed to leave?" *She nodded quickly, she seemed to blush slightly when she looked at him....weirdo...* "You are allowed to leave, but first please allow someone to help you get there? It would be terrible for you to come back here.." *Faust was about to put his bag back over his head when he noticed the blood stains...yeah not happening...it's a good thing it's not just one bag though...slipping one of the bags from the multi-bag...thing...a new brown bag was revealed fresh as a new day. Slipping it on, Faust stood up and made sure the thing got settled in right* "Yeah ok, but please hurry up. I am tired and would like to get some rest." *The nurse bowed and took off almost running into someone, she shouted back:* "Be right back sir! Please hold on!" *Yeah...weirdo....*
*Derilos was starting to feel a lot better. He was hoping Dere'l was feeling better too. They both had it rough over the last few days. When Dere'l finally let go of him, he patted her on the shoulder and went for his writing pad again.* "You write?" *Derilos flipped it back to the page he was writing it on.* "Yeah I have to record our battle and everything, once we get a computer or something else...this is all we can use..." *Dere'l sat next to him, clearly focused on the pad as if replaying what happened.* "Can I....stay with you? For a while?" *Derilos picked up his pencil and continued his work, most of his attention diverted he didn't look at her...he often never did...* "Yeah you can stay...now where was I? Oh yeah, With our "treason" sent to the corsair empire we knew we had to act fast. We packed up everything we could carry and split into two groups. We had a small compact asteroid base at our disposal, at most only twelve people were on the base at any time, and usually 2 people would patrol around and be switched out. We covered up everything we could and erased any information we had. With the ships intact and the base secured, we headed out. Only 15k out from the base and we came under fire from a large corsair patrol. Around seven titans and-" "Eight..." *Derilos looked up at Dere'l.* "Excuse me?" *Dere'l backed away, probably scared.* "No no seriously you saw eight?" *Dere'l nodded, she seemed too scared to speak for some reason- oh that's it. She never went against his word...yeah difficult time for her.* " Dere'l go get some sleep ok? You seem really tired..." *Dere'l got up slowly and walked out of the room, it seemed as if the feel of the room got darker but Derilos didn't care. He knew he was doing the right thing...*
*Hersin watched Escuarde leave the cafeteria, he seemed either mad or sad. Hard to tell he was good at hiding it. Just as he got to the door Yhanu showed up...even better. Standing up Hersin gave his plate over to the trash bin. It was plastic anyway. Yhanu rushed over to him, she seemed pissed-oh yeah she was.* "What the hell?! What happened?!" *Hersin wiped his mouth with a napkin and threw the thing into the trash too...talk about really low tech...hopefully they get better stuff soon...* "I....apologized...for what happened..." *Pushing past her he headed for the docking bays, but Yhanu was closing in on him...* "Oh really, you apologized, yeah that's and it only took what seven months?! Don't lie to me what did you do!" *Hersin stopped and looked her dead in the eye.* "I...apologized...ask me what I did again and I will just ignore you..." *That must have worked because she was silent for the rest of the trip. Since the corridor was small she couldn't stand next to him either, that was nice too. Once they exited the"tunnel" Hersin looked at her, standing right next to him....she looked better then when the argument first started...* "I'm going to get some cleaning supplies..." *Yhanu looked at him, a near shocked expression...*"I was just going to talk to the guild master, the showers are really filthy!" *At that time due to the amount of people on the station they were overheard, there just HAS to be a nosey bastard doesn't it? Ah well at least he was helpful and spoke up.* "Filthy showers huh? I can take you to the Quarter master. He deals with this kind of stuff...and you are...." *Yhanu looked at him funny, a kind of 'What the hell are you doing listening in on my conversation' type of look...* "You can call me Yhanu, and this is Hersin..." "Umm do you know where my luggage is? A medium sized case that should be on the Itchuno vessel...." *The guy nodded quickly.* "Yup yup, I can help you with that...."
*Dere'l left the boss' room with a sad emotion in her belly. She entered her room and...yeah Yhanu was no where to be found...just great...just great. All alone in the tiny room. As her stomach rumbled with hunger she couldn't be bothered to try and explore her new surroundings. She laid down on the bed...it has a certain...softness to it. Not a lot, not too little...actually it was too little...Dere'l had a hard time getting to sleep. Flashes of the battle playing back in her mind...but eventually...she drifted off to sleep...and immediately she wished she hadn't. Caught in her worse nightmare possible, she relived the battle. Two corsair cruiser were at the main source of the battle, but they wasn't shooting, they wanted their targets alive...fighters here and there shooting each other. Dere'l tried to climb out of her cockpit or something but as if on auto-pilot, the Unioner fighter banked left, avoiding a titan's "rain of death". To make it worse her straps to hold her in the seat seemed to have tightened up, locking her into the seat. Her ship banked right this time and opened fire on the titan. He was a god pilot, dodging her shots, but unfortunately as if by fate, his ship couldn't handle it and the shield was dropped then....boom...Dere'l was still scared as ever watching her ship drop titan after titan until only a few remained, she tried to run away again but it was too late into the nightmare....the cruisers had started to shoot at the transports....scared at what would happen next, she thrashed around frantically trying to escape..and then...she was woken up...*
*Yhanu was taken to the Quarter master and explained to him the situation in the showers area. The quarter master informed her that the showers would be fixed up and ready to use in half an hour and would be contacted. He asked Yhanu to go wait at her sleeping quarters and she would be contacted. On her way back she wondered...just what was wrong? With the hygiene standards on this station the showers shouldn't look like that...As Yhanu opened the door to her room, she saw Dere'l thrashing about on the bed, obviously sleep, Yhanu rushed next to her and tried to wake her up.* "Dere'l, Dere'l! Wake up please!" *As Dere'l's eyes fluttered open she nearly screamed.* "Yhanu! Is that you? Oh Yhanu I had a terrible dream!" *Yhanu let her rest on her shoulder and Dere'l let her tears flow more. Yhanu herself started to shed tears but she kept most of her composure. It was a few seconds later that Yhanu noticed the door was still open. Faust was standing in the door, his clothes the same as when he left.* "What happened to you?" *Faust scratched his head, then winced a bit.* "Yeah it was just some minor bleeding, I'll be fine...what about you two?" *Yhanu looked at Dere'l still shaken from her nightmare.* "We are ok...Nothing to worry about." *Yhanu gave Faust a smile. Faust took the door handle and slowly closed the door.* "I'll be in my room if you need anything, don't tell the boss, it's thing for him to worry about..." *Once the door was closed Faust went into his room. Closing his door, he opened his backpack and took out the cardi...yeah it's about time...*
"With our fate realized, we were outnumbered with EIGHT titans and two cruisers. We only had 4 fighters and a transport. Strangely the cruisers didn't shoot at us. We engaged focusing on two titans at a time. We were taking heavy damage when...I believe I made one of the worse decisions in my life...*sigh* Due to the fact...we were heavily outnumbered I...I told the transport to open fire..." *Derilos couldn't help himself, tears he did not want started rolling down his cheeks...he had failed his team...it was all his fault from start to finish and they stuck by him all the time...Throwing his notepad across the room, he laid back and waited for the tears to stop...hours, minutes...seconds...nothing made sense to him anymore. He tried to wipe his face dry, but more tears rolled down...No. He had to do this...he had to continue...Getting up he picked up his pad and continued to write....* "I ordered our transport to open fire on the fighters. Once the cruiser commanders saw this they opened fire as well...The transport was ripped to pieces...of the five people on board...they...their status is unknown. Once the cruisers opened fire I ordered everyone to abandon the battle and retreat. They kept asking about the transport, a huge hole in the hull. Yeah...I abandoned them...We were lucky to head into the sigma systems where we were attacked one last time. This time we lost two of our ships but due to a GMG patrol...we were...saved..." *Derilos rested the notepad on the ground next to his bed. He laid down on his back...and tried to get some sleep...*
*A knock on the door was heard and Yhanu opened the door, a cleaner it seemed like it.* "Hello madame. The showers are cleaned up, you are free to use them now..." *Yhanu looked behind her at Dere'l who had fallen sleep on the bed...great...* "Umm yeah thanks..." *Yhanu closed the door and got her things for her shower, she'd let Dere'l sleep for now, no need to wake her up. Stepping outside, Yhanu headed for the showers. OH crap, Turning back around she closed and locked her door...wait...no. key...DAMMIT! Heading back for the showers again Yhanu would probably try to wake up Dere'l after her shower. It seemed to be a lot less commotion now, even the corridors seemed wider then usual...heh been in this crappy place too long. Exiting the corridor she noticed a peek at something really nice looking, like a glint catching her eye. A door was left open but only a crack. Yhanu feeling nosey, opened it a crack. A luscious looking garden was behind the door, and boy was it ever a sight. A guard seems to have entered the place for something but was heading back to his post, so Yhanu didn't stay for long. After a brisk walk, Yhanu started her shower. The water was a nice luck warm and seemed to sooth all her problems away. She might have stayed longer then she'd hoped for but she didn't care, she really needed this. On her way back she remembered Faust had come back. Wanting to see how he was doing so far, she knocked on his door...nothing...she tried again- The door opened slowly...strange...poking her head in she was shocked at what she had found...*
*Around about an hour or so, Hersin had finally had half his baggage, and with it, his cleaning supplies. Now off to do a quick cleaning of his room and finally some sleep. Going down a corridor he felt small...there was plenty of small corridors and you can say it was making him feel cluster phobic...yeah not cool. He noticed a guy slumped in the corridor-oh...f....That was Escuarde! What the...Hersin rushed to his side. Quickly checking his pulse, everything seemed fine, his knuckles were bloody and you can see white skin tissue, which was not good...Hersin looked around and saw no one in sight, so he left Escuarde by himself to go find some help. Re-entering the docking bays he found some workers still around...and with some luck...yes! They had gotten the rest off and with it, his medical kit. Rushing back to Escuarde, he rested the baggage down and opened up the medical kit.* "Now relax Escuarde, this might hurt a bit..." *Hersin poured some disinfectant onto a cloth and patted his wounds with it.* "AH AH! WHAT THE HELL?!" *Escuarde was too exhausted to get up, he really used up a lot of energy....* "Relax...geez, you think after all these years, medicine isn't painful sometimes? You'll get use to it..." *Putting some gauze on and wrapping it nicely, Escuarde's hands looked like he was ready to box someone like in the old days...now people box in ships...sad how things change...* "Heh, how's that for low tech?" *Escuarde tried to get up but was still too weak. Hersin looked at him with a smile.* "Hey, let me help you up ok?" *Escuarde shrugged off his offer.* "I can get up myself...leave me alone...." *After a minute or two, Escuarde got up and headed off to his room, with Hersin and his luggage right behind him...*
'Help....help....me....please.' *Dere'l looked around. Nothing to be found...In this completely empty place, she knew she had to be dreaming again. She must have fallen asleep in Yhanu arm's...hasn't been the first time...but what about this? Where was she? Looking around some more she saw a door and completely stopped dead...is this really a dream? Or something...else? She reached for the door and stopped again...was this what she wanted? She didn't know what was on the other side and was scared of finding out...she knew something important was behind the door or it wouldn't be here...She held onto he knob for what seemed like ages...then...she let it go...She didn't want to see it. She was content with what she already lost. She didn't want to know what else she was going to lose...(BAM!) Oh no...The door had flew open....turning around her eyes opened in horror...but...that wasn't horror...it was shock...she was shocked by what the door had revealed. Inside the door was the future...that's right the future and somehow she knew it...The was the entire group. One big happy group...a word was seen underneath what had looked like a picture...that word was CHOICE...Another door opened behind her, quickly turning around she looked at what the door revealed. It was the same picture and it was on fire...With the words: FATE on it...* "What does this mean? What will happen?" *Both doors closed slowly and Dere'l panicked.* "Wait! Wait! What does it mean? Please tell me!" *Once the doors closed...she was left alone again....*
*Step...step...step...Escuarde looked behind him, the fool Hersin had been following him back to his room...* "How long are you going to keep this up?" *Hersin seemed impatient and tired...as he should...* "I'm just making sure you get to your room, it is my job after all-To make sure all crew members are fit and healthy..." *Escuarde just ignored him for the rest of the trip, which seemed to take hours. Once he was in his bed, he felt much better. Hersin stood in his doorway.* "I'll be off now, have a good sleep..." *Escuarde shifted over on his side, his back facing Hersin.* "Yeah you too...I guess..." "Call me if you need anything ok?" "Like I can..." *The door closed and finally Escuarde was all alone. He thought of his sister, her flowing golden hair. It was more brown then golden...her eyes a nice black. Like a deep black, something you can stare into and get lost in forever...her fair complexion would be perfect if not for the small scar. He had to stop..every time he looked at her...that scar...hurt him worse then anything ever could...It was that last day she got it too...the battle...Hersin...calming down he knew deep down that it wasn't Hersin's fault...no he wouldn't do that...Starting to feel sleepy, Escuarde left himself fall asleep and to let his anger subside for tomorrow's fight....*
*Hersin closed Escuarde's door and headed off for his own room, he really needed it clean before he could get some sleep. Looking around he noticed Faust's door was slightly open...hmm, deciding not to be annoying he ignored it and entered his room, it was clean....his entire room spotless...ok cool, hopefully he could get a nice long rest. In Faust room a storm was brewing....* "What are you doing?! Is that cardamine?!" Faust took him time to look from the ceiling at Yhanu, his bag off and with his "fix" setting him straight he was in the next universe...and then some....* "Faust? Hey! Dammit..." *Yhanu was headed out the door when Faust finally decided to do something.* "Wait...It's not what...you think..." *Yhanu was pissed, she kept her back to him, to hide her tears...* "Why didn't you tell us?" *Faust laid back down on the bed, hell he never left it, more of a sit up and lay back down kind of thing.* "I told someone....the boss if you are wondering...he said you guys didn't need to know...I can understand your point of view, but you guys didn't need to worry, that's why you don't know...or rather didn't know..." *Yhanu slammed her fist into the wall* "Damn him! Could he really be so heartless?" *Faust stretched out his hand as if trying to grasp something.* "Not really heartless, look at the way you act now, not efficient on a battlefield now is it? I'd say, go rest on this....but you probably wont listen..." *Yhanu walked out of Faust's room a slow walk as if dead. she remembered she was locked out of her room...nice. Walking back in Faust's room, the place smelled of cardi. It didn't make her feel bad, but the acknowledgment that one of the crew was on such a thing...* "I ah...I'm locked out..." *Faust had a huge grin on his bandaged face.* "Ah that's ok, the maid left me with an extra bed heh, all yours...it's right over there..." *Yhanu picked up the bed, and placed it on the floor, it weakly expanded and enlarged into a nice sized bed with a comforter and pillows.* "Hey hey! Not too shabby...looks like we got a nice one eh Yhanu?" "Hmph, yeah about time..." *Trying to get comfortable, Yhanu quickly found herself falling asleep...And with Faust on his cardi-fix, it only took him three hours of just daydreaming before he fell asleep...*
{--Day over, New Day recording, starting, Morning time--}
*As morning shined over Aomori station, the day of terror was over and the group was off to a bad start to their new life...With a horrible scream, Dere'l single-handedly woke up the entire group...and then some. Near everyone-but Faust (still on his cardi-high...yeah it lasts that long) was rushing outside to see what was wrong. Yhanu strolled outside, a tired look on her face, walking outside she headed for her bedroom. Hersin poked his head out and Derilos cracked his door, probably just to listen...* "YO! WHAT'S GOING ON OUT THERE?!" *Yhanu got to her door and knocked on it, some of their neighbors royally pissed off.* "HEY! LADY! I SAID-" *Faust appeared from his doorway, some of the bandages covering his face red, his stare deep as a "what-are-you-looking-at" type could get, the man just stood there and Faust stared back....* "Umm...yeah sort that problem out now!" *Faust learned his head on the doorway.* "Right now hmm?" "Umm yeah right....now...please..." *Faust leaned his head the other way.* "Right now?...please?" "Whatever, I just need some sleep so please..." *With that the guy went back in his room, he face was serious...and sweaty once Faust showed...but you'd sweat too if you saw his height...* "Annoyances...Dere'l hun? Unlock the door please? I left my key inside..." *There was a shuffle of noises as if things might have been knocked over or hit.* "What's the password?" "Dere'l hun, we don't have a password yet!" "Yes we do...I made it up in my sleep...like yesterday..." *Yhanu rubbed her temples, she really didn't need this.* "Dere'l open the door! The boss is here!" *You would have assumed the door was paper, because it was open faster then you could blink.* "Derilo-...you lied to me?" "No hun, I just outsmarted, now go get your things hmm? The showers work now!" *Yhanu entered her room and closed the door behind her. Dere'l got her things out and Yhanu began looking for her key.* "I had a dream Yhanu, want to know what it was?" *Yhanu signed as if exhausted or annoyed.* "Another nightmare?" "No, an important dream, very important, but I'm not sure if I should tell you now..." "Might as well hun. You already asked me if I wanted to know..." "Ok it here is what happened..."
*Derilos woke up by Dere'l's scream, and opened his door. Realizing dere'l's personality he quickly closed the door back but left it cracked so he could hear...Heading back to his things he took out his notepad. HE did a quick summary of the things he and his crew had....which was very little. Two eagles with no weapons (They gave their corsair ones to GMG) and since they had to start over fresh why not start with new weapons yes? Plus- oh...no...Derilos panicked for a second...then calmed himself. HE had forgotten the spy's he had in Rheinland...with no boss to follow...they might go freelance again...he had to go talk to the GMG leader ship about use of some private comms...without tipping off the GMG leader...he didn't want to share sure information with him...on second thought not really...he could simply ask for a small escort to his old base, pick up the left over equipment and cover any transmissions sent to him from the spy's and give them further orders...yeah that sounds good...rising up he felt hungry and decided food was more important first...Heading out in his same clothes he didn't bother to change out of, he saw Faust, Dere'l, Yhanu, Escuarde and....where was Hersin?...he was probably still in his bed...oh well.* "I'm off for breakfast, anyone want to join me?" "Oh, Dere'l and I were going to get a shower...well I had one last night but...I'll need another one..." "You just said the showers were just fixed!" "Oh no hun I said they were fixed, I didn't say when they were, c'mon I'll tell you all about it ok?" *Derilos watched Yhanu and Dere'l chat until they were out of sight and it seemed some of the neighbors were just waking up too...whatever. Derilos turned to Escuarde and Faust.* "Coming boys?" *Escuarde jumped out of his room really quick.* "Yeah I'm with!" "Got your key Escuarde?" "Yup." *Faust leaned back...then forward....yeah cardi was in effect...* "No b-boss. I'm good..." *Derilos shrugged* "Good by me then..."
*Escuarde followed the boss inside the cafeteria, a good bit of people already have beaten them to it. Checking his pockets again, he made sure he had his room keys...yup, didn't want to lose them. Escuarde thought back to Dere'l's scream, Faust was acting his goofy self and Yhanu locked herself out of her room...yeah she had brains didn't she? Heh...Grabbing some food and a table, they both sat down and...* "We need to recover our leftover equipment." *Confused, Escuarde had to make sure he heard the boss correct.* "Umm, what did you say?" "We...need...to...get...our...equipment...back..." *Escuarde felt anger rise up in him for no apparent reason.* "What are you crazy?! You saw what they did to us! and you want to go back?!" *The boss raised his hand a motioned it down, as it "Sit down idiot".* "I know what happened, but we cannot afford for them to raid our base, all our important stuff is there. We need to get all the stuff out. So, I'm going to talk to the GMG leader again." *Escuarde scratched his head, this was just insane. They already lost to corsairs just yesterday, to go again was just insane....* "Uh, boss you really think we can? I mean, we did get our butts kicked you know? Are we really going to repeat this?" *The boss took his time answering, taking a sip of his drink.* "Yup, the perfect plan, trust me if GMG will let us get there and back without intent to fight I'm sure they will trust us more and we will get some more toys to use hmm? Now eat up, You got practice today..." "Practice?" "Yup, due to our defeat it has dawned we need to practice some more...inform the rest of the group will you?" *The boss got up and left Escuarde alone at the table to ponder his thoughts...*
*Faust leaned on the table, he laid on the table, the hid under the table, the then turned the table over and sat on it....yeah he was digging the bat position. On his cardi fix, he was on cloud-nine and trying to get as much fun out of this...table...yup the table of all things...He had tried to hide under the bed....but almost got stuck...six times...* "Stupid table...I wonder.....hmmm...yup that's it! I know what I need to do..." *Faust got up from the flipped over table and moved the bed three inches....then tried to get under it again. He was confident it was going to work.* "Hyadiya, I can do this...let's go fi-" *He was stuck...nice...just nice...* "Ok bed stop hugging me now, I love you too..." *Clearly dazed Faust wasn't going anywhere with the bed "hugging" him. So he thought back to the battle they had lost yesterday.* "Ok, so let e tell you bed, two HUUUGE teddy bears came out of the great orange thing...yup I know right? Hug time! BUT! They started shooting women at us! And one hit my windshield! Oh no, I couldn't look she has space suit on...sad really...but our love train got hit with a huge woman! And she had no space suit on! I feel bad, I SHOULD HAVE BEEN ON IT! I COULD HAVE SEEN IT! What? You didn't know? Yup! Women has a place called "Heaven" on them! You just got to find it!"
*Dere'l followed Yhanu to the showers, Yhanu had gotten a shower before her and Dere'l was jealous, yeah she was but the problem was going to be corrected now. Walking through the tight corridor, she felt terrible. What was that weird dream she had? What did it mean?* "We are here..." *Dere'l looked around and loved how clean the showers were, the cleaning crew must have spent a lot of time getting it like this...Dere'l undressed in a small dressing space, still caught in her thoughts. She wrapped herself in a towel (Still pretty low tech here) and headed for the showers.* "I'm going to stay here ok? If you need anything just say so!" "Yeah, thanks Yhanu..." *Yhanu seemed confused at first but her mood quickly changed and she twirled around and sat down at the entrance. Dere'l headed into the showers, they were separated but somehow seemed connected...strange...Dere'l took off her towel and turned on the shower to a nice warm setting. She looked over some of her scars. One above her belly was made from the Satsuma...she had been very lucky hadn't she? Somehow the blasted thing was able to destroy her shield and wreck her ship's hull in one shot...not cool...Letting the water run over her, she tried to clear her mind of everything but her dream, she loved water for this...it had a sort of a purifying effect to it...nice. Some more women entered the showers and Dere'l seemed to be getting cluster phobic, she never really had to share anything before...especially with people she didn't know...* She mumbled under her breath:"Stupid Showers..."
*Hersin, finally got out of tired mode and began organizing all of his stuff. Not much but it had to be done. After fifteenth minutes of making sure everything was neat, Dere'l woke up. He only knew because she screamed...yeah wake up alarm was set or something. Peeking outside his door, he found a lot of people were staying here then he thought and looking down the hall it seemed the rest of the group was up. Sweet. HE kept a low profile and tried to listen in on the conversation, but he couldn't make out much. He closed his door not wanting to be found or heard, what the....his organized stuff was now in shambles! After another fifteenth minutes of organizing, he started to fell hungry. So he poked his head out again.* "Hmm, no one here? Oh well..." *He stepped out and locked his door, then headed for the cafeteria. He took his time not wanted to seem impatient and not too slow to prevent looking lazy...just a perfect slow but fast stride...he met the boss at the door and bowed. Hersin has spent some time in Kusari medical school and some of their customs must have rubbed off on him.* "No need to bow, Go talk to Escuarde, he has news..." "He is starting too look like the boss' messenger dog...that's not a good impression for you." *The boss walked down the corridor back to the sleeping quarters area.* "Let me deal with that Hersin, you keep tabs on your boy over there...."
*Derilos left the cafeteria and took the right corridor, if he went left corridor, he would went back to the sleeping quarters. He wasn't going back there for a bit hopefully. At the end of this corridor was a small bar, he approached the bartender and asked for the comms station, he needed to make a transmission. After finding the station, he inserted his card and beamed his transmission. Yhanu sat down by the wall and waited for Dere'l to finish her shower, she felt his stomach rumble with hunger but ignored it. She was taken back still from the fact that Faust was a cardamine user. That stuff is addictive and not healthy, what would drive him to it? As the questions amassed in her head, women entered the showers, GMG personnel, other bounty hunters, even some possible lone mercenaries...yeah this is "home". Yhanu rubbed her temples in annoyance, this was the last thing she needed. To be worrying about other things.* "Hey, waiting for someone too?" *Yhanu looked up at what was possibly a bounty hunter.* "Uh yeah, and you are?" *The woman sat down on the other side of the door.* "MY name is Lianne (lee-anne) and I work for a small group, we are heh, a bunch of losers before GMG came." "Your telling me this because?" "Because...you seem new here...just trying to get you fit in..." "Ah, well my group is doing fine, we got in a fight with the corsairs, so we ended up here with no where else to go..." "Wow, if the corsairs hunted you guys, you must have done something terrible..." "Yeah. Heh you can say that.." "Well if you need anything, just let me know. My group is very skilled...somewhat..." "Ha, you been here that long? You sound very confident..." "Not really, our leader is a total dope...he's not good at giving orders, we have been stationed here for a while..." "Wow...that's terrible" "Yeah...heh on I forgot something, I'm be right back ok? If you don't see me again, you have a good day ok?" "Sure...you too..." *The woman got up and headed out, at the same time Dere'l was finished her shower.* "I'm done, let's get out of here it's creepy..." "Sure thing hun, I'm getting hungry, it's about breakfast time don't you think?" *Yhanu flashed her a smile and Dere'l returned the favor.* "Yeah let's go..."
*Faust was still stuck under his lovable bed's "hug"* "Aww c'mon what do you want from me? I haz dinner callin' me! Let go and I has something for you! It's called a max fist of love!" *Faust smacked the bed with his strongest punch and he was finally free of it's hug, the bed was literally crying tears of joy in Faust's eyes...instead back on planet reality the thing was split in half and then some... Faust headed out to the cafeteria. The walls of the corridor were jumping about with shiny faces and flowers, and they wanted to hug him too, funny... some red stuff was coming from his nice new face....whatever...Oh...my...gosh...there he was! The bunny man! He spreads love to everyone with his hugs! Wasting no time Faust jumped into his arms and gave him the best hug Faust could muster. And the Bunny was just loving it, so why would Faust stop? He hugged him even more...Back in reality one tall guy was squeezing the crap out of a GMG guard, who was just guarding a door when Faust just jumped onto him and started squeezing him. Just..wow. Faust decided to let the bunny man go to allow him to spread the love to others, why should he hog it all right? Moving on Faust encountered a wall of invisibility, and the walls started having angry faces...not cool. This usually meant Faust's world of love was going to come to a painful end soon...and he would be damned to let the fat chick take ANOTHER love paradise from him. Pushing against the wall of invisibility, Faust used all his strength and finally broke through...and he was sent flying into a room with nothing but tables of lovableness...great, he would be hugged forever in here...*
*Richardson heard a commotion outside and peeked out of his door. There was apparently one tall guy squeezing the crap out of this GMG guard, and the guy was really pissed off. Lianne Came down the hall, she was shocked too. No one usually bugged the GMG guards all this time, who would really do this at all? Turning his head back to the tall guy, In absolute shock everyone in the hall seemed to just freeze. The tall guy stuck out his tongue...and LICKED the guard! What...the....hell...The tall guy let go of the guard and staggered down the hall. The guard obviously pissed off took out a pole looking instrument.* 'Grapple pole...used on lone civilians causing trouble by shooting a rope with some skill to wrestle the target down into submission...not good..." *The guard fired his grapple and it wrapped around the tall guy's neck...game over. As he tugged and tugged, The tall guy....everyone was simply speechless. The tall guy kept his arms and legs straight ads a stick and tried to keep walking! As if out of a cartoon, the guy kept moving his arms and legs and seemed to be getting the better of the guard. At this time, some of the bounty hunters came to the assistance of the Guard and tried to haul the tall guy to the ground. To many's surprise, the tall guy got a little angry and pulled them all. For some reason he was acting like he didn't see them..weird...PAP! The grapple line snaps and while the guard and the bounty hunters fall back, the tall guy shoots into the cafeteria on top of a table and some people sitting there are startled...Just wow....Lainne just stood shocked and silent.* "Come in, we need to talk..."
*Escuarde waited for Hersin to sit down. He started eating and that was good thing, he didn't want to pop the news just yet...he waited a while to just about when Hersin finished.* "We are going back." *Hersin nearly choked on his food. After a few seconds of quickly chewing his food...* "I'm sorry what was that?" We are heading back. The boss wants to gather the rest of our stuff from the base..." "Hmm....and I take it he already knows the risks?" "Yeah, he says he's going to contact GMG's leader for a request for a transport and some escorts for the job. So get ready..." *Just then Faust came speeding into the cafeteria, something wrapped around his neck and he looked like an old ice-skater ans he slid across the cafeteria and into a table with some other mercenaries, it seemed like they were anyway. Some of the GMG guards, rushed into the room and tried to hold down Faust, but he seemed to be stronger then them all, before he could break free, the boss casually walked into the room and injected something into Faust's neck.* "Take him in his room, he'll be pissed when he wakes up....please.." *The guards seemed like their day had gone from good to bad in an instant. They usually kept quiet and out of the way but with Faust's new mess of trouble, it wasn't looking good for them. Two of the guard's followed the boss towards Faust's room, while there three helped clean up the place, then headed back to their stations...yeah not a very good first impression...*
//To see the comms between Derilos and the GMG leader see here
*Derilos waited while the guards dumped Faust, on his bed. They seemed to be rough intentionally but Derilos didn't care, if they waited long enough, Faust would wake up and slaughter them, due to them being locked in mysteriously...nothing Hersin couldn't clean up mind you...But luckily they left a minute or two before Faust would wake up....lucky bastards...* "Ugh...where-where-...Derilos? What happened?" *Derilos leaned on the door, thinking over how he was going to do things...* "You over-dosed yourself didn't you?" *Faust rubbed his head a bit, after a few deep breaths he seemed willing to talk more...* "Uh..yeah I think so...Did I hurt anyone?" *Derilos walked up to Faust and Faust flinched and squeezed his back to the wall...He knew what Derilos was capable of...and he obviously didn't want to find out what other things he could do...not at all...* "No you didn't but that will change....get dressed we are headed out..." *Derilos had a dark face on him...only someone as sick as himself could love...* "And where are we going? If you don't mind me asking of course..." *Derilos turned around, as if thinking carefully...* "Back to the base of course...." *Faust didn't bother to ask exactly why...He already made him mad, he wasn't planning on doing it again...* "Should I dose up again?" *Derilos went for the door and stopped after he opened it. * "No...you'll have to bear with the pain until a corsair shows up...if one does..." "Very well..." *Just then Derilos heard something that interested him...* "-need some action around here Richardson! We cannot sit here forever! Let's get out and kill something already!" *Derilos walked out and left Faust alone in his room. He didn't deserve to have company for all that trouble...Derilos finally found what he was looking for in this base....new recruits...*
*Yhanu and Dere'l walked out of the bathroom and headed back for their room.* "I met someone today.." "Oh really? I met a lot of people in those showers...I don't know how they do it..." *Yhanu couldn't help but laugh, not because it was funny but rather she felt lucky no one was in the showers when she had taken her wash....very lucky.* "It's not that funny! Did you see how man girls there were?! I don't think I can take anymore..." *Yhanu rested her arm over Dere'l's shoulder.* "Relax, I was there, you would have been fine...." *They both reached their room when they noticed Derilos watching two people argue...that usually never happened...* "Hey um Dere'l? Why don't you go get changed and let me know when you are ready ok?" "yeah sure but can you do me a favor?" "Sure hun, anything..." "Can you go see what Derilos is up to for me?" *Yhanu looked back at the situation...yup he was still watching, without looking back she replied.* "Yeah hun. That's what I'm worried about..." *Yhanu walked up to Derilos but he had his eyes locked on the girl and guy arguing...* "Boss? Any problems?" *It seems Derilos refused to remove his eyes from those two...* "Yeah everything is cool, go meet Escuarde in the cafeteria...if he is still there...He has news for you..." *Yhanu didn't want to disturb the boss at this time. It seems he was intent on doing something...Yhanu just hoped it wasn't anything bad...Yhanu walked back to her room and Dere'l just walked out...It seemed as though she rushed to put her clothes on...* "C'mon hun, There is a briefing in the cafeteria..."
*Escuarde finished up his food and threw his plate and cup in the trash. They were disposable so he didn't care...Hersin was finished and had left to go get ready and just as Escuarde was about to leave, Yhanu and Dere'l showed up...Man, Derilos had been putting loads of pressure on him. To go back to the base after they had abandoned it? With no help too? And what about that practice thing he was talking about? As the questions reeled in his head, Yhanu obviously wanted to know what was the big news...* "Well, the boss obviously wanted you to tell everyone..so let's hear it.." *Escuarde knew the boss was punishing him for something...but what?* "We uh...we are heading back to he base...for practice or something..." *The color in Dere'l's face seemed to disappear and Yhanu wasn't looking too sharp either.* "Look I know it's a long shot but the boss is intent at doing this...we have no say..." *Yhanu looked as depressed as she did the night before, and Dere'l was all but happy again...* "If you'll excuse me...I need to go change for my death...no kidding either..." *Escuarde headed off to his room, he needed a break...or two...*
*Robinson was getting tired of Lianne's restlessness. She really wanted to go do something other then sit around, but they only had a handful of fighters to use...and Robinson really didn't want to go ask the GMG leader for practice...she didn't seem like the friendly type...* "Let's get out there already! We cannot stay here in hiding forever! Eventually GMG will kick us out! We gotta do something..." "Alright I'll see what I can find ok? It's not like we can just find an easy job to do-" "Actually..you can." *A man approached from the sidelines as you can say...* "I couldn't help but overhear your...dilemma..." *Robinson didn't like this guy...something seemed off...not right at all...It seemed Lianne felt the same way too.* "And...you are?" "Oh, yes manners first...My name is Derilos Granar...I am a mercenary." "I'm Yantome Robinson and this is Lianne Tynamo. Wait wait, What do you want from us exactly?" *Derilos shook hands with Lianne, a pleasant smile to his face...when he turned to Robinson the smile was gone.* "I'm headed off for a mission into corsair space while being escorted by the GMG...would you and the rest of your group like to join in?" *Robinson thought for a second.* "Wait a minute, how do you know there are others in my group?" "Heh, let's face it, if it was just you two, GMG wouldn't have wasted their time with you...you don't seem like an effective fighting pair...meet me in the docking bays in an hour or you'll be left out. " *With that Derilos left...Robinson turned to Lianne, a troubled look on his face.* "I don't trust him..." "Yeah well we will be escorted by GMG right? They won't dare turn on them...so we should be safe...I hope..." *Robinson headed back into his room. Before he closed the door, he sighed and looked at Lianne.* "Go get the twins..."
{--Recording Jump...--}
{--Fast forward 45 minutes...--}
{--Continue recording...--}
*The GMG transport, a relatively small craft, landed in Docking Bay five. It's escorts landed on Bay 12. Four escorts by the looks of it...not a lot but they were a small party...Hersin waited by the Transport with Derilos, Yhanu and Dere'l...they had been waiting for Faust forever...* "Boss? Do you think he will come? Do you think Faust ran away?" *The boss took his time answering, as if he really didn't want to answer...* "He will come....He will..." *At that moment Faust came from the corridor, a new set of clothes compared to what everyone was wearing yesterday. Dere'l had a green combat flier's suit on and Yhanu has her usual old fashioned jeans she loved so much with a regular old fashioned T-shirt. The boss had his usual combat commando suit which was black...Faust had his old Doctor's suit on...it's almost similar to what Hersin wore but we all knew the dark secrete that doctor's coat had...we all knew very well...* "Sorry I'm late Boss...I will make up for it...." *One of the GMG pilots decided to speak up.* "So are you ready for this mission?" *Derilos was the first to speak over the shocked group.* "Ah we are still waiting...The others will be here soon..." "Very well then, let me know..." *Derios turned back to his group of shocked and confused faces...* "Ah yes, if you don't know...now you do...This isn't a practice or a death mission....GMG will escort us to the base...and we will come back in a much larger force....plus I will see what GMG says about having us trained in their tactics of warfare when we return..." *Everyone must have been just too shocked to answer...they really thought they were going on a death mission? Heh, Derilos is just too evil sometimes...* "Umm...boss? Did you intentionally lie to us?" *Derilos turned to Dere'l and rested his hand on her shoulder...a sort of comfort thing, it was turning out to be...* "Yes I did...just so you guys will take the ride much easier ok?" But...why not just tell us in the first place?" "I could have...." *Derilos shrugged off his guilty feeling.* "But I didn't, let's face it. If I did tell you GMG would escort us but we would be stuck in the transport then you would have worried about bombers and ect...no need for that now is there?" "But we are still worried now! That did nothing!" "You might think so Dere'l, but can you honestly say you'd feel better in a death mission then a transport one that gives you a chance to live? Hmph, regardlss we are still waiting for someone..."
*Faust wasn't sure what the boss was talking about...He knew they faced death in both situations but this one did seem safer...besides who was this other person they were waiting for? Faust's need to kill burned inside him...he really missed his cardi. It was the only thing that kept him "cool". Without it he was more likely to turn on his allies if they was nothing to kill...* "Well well, lookie here Yumitoko...." "I see, Wydona..." *Faust looked up to a pair of what would be identical twins...* "You know Yumitoko, We could play with this one..." "It might be possible....Hey you there, your name?" *Faust leaned back, having two faces nearly touching his was the last thing he needed...* "You are....talking to me?" *Faust pointed a finger at himself but he felt as though they really were talking to him right? It was hard to tell....* "Of course gaijin, your name?" The boss got up and stood in front of Faust, protecting his from too many questions, he probably didn't want Faust to go murder two people right in the open...* "Hello, I'm Derilos, and YOU are?" *The two girls looked up at him with an annoyed face they both seemed to share.* "Is this one standing up to us Wydona?" "I think he is Yumitoko..." "Want to play with him instead?" "Sure why not-" *A Man stepped from behind a crate. A worried look to his face.* "Back off girls..." *The girls kept their eyes on the boss, they seemed to refused to back down from him.* Yumitoko: "But Robinson, he stood up to us..." Wydona: "He must pay..." *Robinson stepped up behind them.* "You wouldn't want to harm your employer would you?" *They both took one step back and bowed like Hersin did when he thought the boss and himself were alone...strange...* Wydona: "We apologize." Yumitoko: "We only wanted to have some fun..." "Enough...Derilos, I would like you to formally meet Yumitoko and Wydona." *They both bowed respectively. Then another woman stepped from the same crate...really? Who else was behind there? Robinson turned around.* "And that would be Lianne, This is it Derilos. Any questions?"
*Once again the entire group turned to him out of confusion.* "Yeah, you have ships?" *Robinson thought about his answer quickly.* "Yeah two eagles but that's it..." "Good then you will join our escort with Dere'l and Escuarde...deal?" "My only pilots are Yumiko and Wydona so they will be good help..." "Yhanu, you got the thing yeah?" *Yhanu looked up surprised as ever.* "What thing sir?" "The invention you made? The one where it can help escorts in long range missions?" "Oh right yeah they should be on the Loading bay somewhere..." "Good, go get them secured up..." *Yhanu was about to leave when she noticed Lianne and remembered her.* "Oh hey! I didn't know this was your group!" *Lianne wasn't at all surprised, she didn't want anyone to remember her. She walked up to Yhanu and gave her a quick hug.* "Yep, it's me heh, you miss me?" *Laughter was shared between the two and now everyone was wondering where these two had known each other...* "Let me get what I need to go get done, Then we can talk on the ride ok?" "Sure no problem..." *The twins walked up next to Lianne, a serious face on them.* Yumitoko: "How do you know that weirdo?" Wydona: "It's impossible to like her isn't it sis? She's just so...manly I should put it?" *Both of the twins got a knock on their head's by the now frustrated Lianne, she didn't like it when her freinds especially the new ones where insulted.* "Let's get going?" Derilos left to go inform the rest of the GMG crew they were ready. Before he left he was lucky enough to get a passing worker to take quick pictures for the crew for some odd reason...*
*Hersin waited for Yhanu to get out her invention with everyone else. It was a very awkward wait for everyone. Why Faust and the Twins kept their stares locked on each other. Hersin felt as though that Lianne kept staring at him too...maybe he was just getting paranoid. Looking to his left, he saw that the convoy was near ready to go with the odd exception of a missing boss...where had he gone to?* "Hey you..." *Hersin turned around to find Lianne right in front of him.* "Yes? What can I do for you miss?" *The near angry stare in her eyes gave him a chill down his spine.* "Where were you last night?" *Hersin was puzzled. This was clearly one of the most weirdest questions to ask in a time like this...* "What does it matter-" "It matters for EVERYTHING! Last night I found someone peeking on me...he had to have a room close to mines because when I tried to chase him, he ran and was out of my sight...he looked a lot like you." *Hersin couldn't stand her being so close. He was a sanitary guy. No one could know for sure where she had been right? Hersin slipped on some gloves and pushed her back by the shoulders.* "I'm sorry that was not me. I was sleep all last night...I had a long day..." "Liar! I know it was you! and when I find some evidence your in for it you hear me?" *One of the twins turned to them. The other still kept his eyes on Faust...it was such a disadvantage for him....* Yumitoko: "Lianne...that has got to be one of the worse pick-up lines I have heard from you..." *Lianne twitched. Her mood changed from mad to a sort of annoyed/shocked combo. She abruptly turned and got right in the twin's face, who had kept her face as emotionless as a wall.* "**** it, baka! You think you know me? Well you don't!" *Lianne crossed her arms and pouted. She seemed to be trying to stand her ground against the twin who seemed to know what she was talking about.* "Guys! I'm back!" *Everyone turned to Yhanu who was exhausted from running. She sat next to the crate and tried to catch her breath.* "I had...to teach those fools how...to use my equipment heh...they are fast learners tho...So we should be ready to go now..." *Faust stretched up and Escuarde...where was- oh...sitting on top of the crate. Yeah that was so him, to be above everyone looking down...* Dere'l: "we have towait for the boss..." Derilos: "Nah you don't." *The boss emerged from who knows where.* Derilos: "I had to make a call...let's get loaded up the transport is waiting..."
//To see the comms with derilos and the GMG leader see here
*Robinson was the last to climb aboard the transport, with everyone on oard the crazy seemed more comfortable then imagined. With a silent atmosphere the craft and it's escorts headed out for it's first stop, Omicron Theta, Freeport 9. Robinson looked around at the other members of Derilos' crew. Something just didn't seem right. While the tall one was twitching to what seemed to be from his nerves. The little girl was snugged up next to Derilos' mechanic. The mechanic had fallen asleep relatively fast and the Hersin guy was...drinking? Robinson stared hard at the bottle the man was drinking from. And Hersin took notice.* Hersin: "Oh trust me, if I didn't have to drink this I wouldn't.." Robinson: "What is it...if you don't mind me asking..." Hersin: "Just a little something I whipped up...it helps with my immune system." Robinson: "Ah, I see.." *Looking around again, Robinson noticed Derilos was writing something...* Robinson: "Writing up an escape route Derilos?" *Derilos kept his eyes on the pad.* Derilos: "You seem scared boy, your not going to go chicken on me are you?" Yumitoko: "Robinson is a chicken." Wydona: "It's what we think he was bred for..." Robinson: "I didn't ask for your input did I?" *The twins kept their mouths shut for once, their eyes still staring at the tall guy.* Derilos: "If your so intrested here..." *Derilos passed the pad over to Robinson.* "Robinson: "What's the matter? Why use this old dinosaur? I mean a pencil of all things?" Derilos: "It's all we have for now..." *Robinson took a look at Derilos' work. It turned out that he was clipping pictures into a biography for his group...* Robinson: "May I?" Derilos: "I didn't give it to you for nothing..but maybe one day you and your group will be added...one day..." Robinson: "That'll be the day." Yumitoko: "We don't want to be stuck with you all the time you know...a new leader might be in order..." Robinson: "You know Lianne won't allow that..so enough from both of you..."

Derilos Granar
Age: 29
Type: Male
Job: Leader
Biography picture:
Little is known about him before the creation of the group. He appears to have cybernetic origins as the technology on his left cheek shows. He is afraid of little but keeps from being called fearless due to the fact he acknowledges fear is needed to live life. He is witty and cunning for someone of his kind which brings us back to the question of where he is from. His origins might provide insight to his true nature...
*Robinson was puzzled, why would such little informaion be provided about him?* Robinson: "You wrote this yes?" Derilos: "Yes I did why?" Robinson: "Care to tell me why your lacking in your history?" Derilos: "It is a long story that I do not wish to share." Dere'l: "Thats probably because your parents died isn't it? Are you just scared to admit they are gone?" *Dere'l had somehow moved from next to Yhanu's side to Derilos's feet like a kitten...she was a rather weird one...* Derilos: "If it intrests you so much...fine then...My parents didn't die of natural causes...does that help?" Dere'l: "Was it corsairs? Is that why you hate them so much?" Derilos: "Corsairs? Of course not...I killed them." *Derilos has on one heck of a smile. As the room went quiet no one was sure if he was joking or not.* Robinson: "Your kidding me right?" Derilos: "Just continue reading so I can finish up..." *Robinson kept his eye on Derilos who seemed lost in his memory, daydreaming...As he turned over the page, he continued reading the next profile.*
Born of Rheinland and cast out by them as well, Dere'l has been a part of our group from the start. Piloting a union arbeiter, she posses skills only when she puts her food down. She also serves as a moral boost for the team...
*Robinson was puzzled.* Robinson: "This is supposed to be a biography report yeah? Then why so little information?" Derilos: "Choosing the right amount of information is key. To give everything all at once, would be like saying you trust them fully..." Robinson: "You dont...trust GMG?" Derilos: "...hurry up and finish..." *Robinson turned over to the next page.*
Suffering from a medical condition he was birthed with. His face was completely wrecked in the last battle and now he wears a brown bag with a single hole for his eyesight. He is an active cardamine user...
Former technician for Liberty, she didn't amount to much. She had thousands of ideas for new equipment but many were considered too "brutal" for use...
A former worker within liberty, He was an accomplished medical officer for the liberty navy. Unfortunately no one wondered why he left other then the note he left labeled "Mental instability". Is also capable of janitor duties...
A former Outcast, Escuarde is a new addition to the group and isn't afraid to fight both the Corsairs and Outcast alone...
*Robinson gave the pad back over to Derilos. He found it hard to believe Derilos was able to gather a group like this...it was very strange to him.* Speakerphone: "We have arrived at Freeport 9, please feel free to move in and out of the transport, we will be heading out in five minutes..." *Everyone but Derilos, Faust, The twins and Robinson had gone sleep. As they stirred from their slumber, everyone shuffled out, to get some fresh air. Robinson needed it most, he needed to find out what this group was intending...it just didn't seem right....*
Dere'l walked off the transport with the others, everyone making a small circle virtually right next to the transport. Zoners were a-plenty as they ran about serving other vessels and the like. While Faust sat down, leaning on a crate, Yhanu and Lianne sat next to each other talking about their experiences, Derilos and Robinson sat in silence...contemplating something... Dere'l: "Anyone got any good stories?" The twins spoke up, they sat behind her and the fact she hadn't noticed them before was shocking. Yumitoko: "Yeah we have one." Wydona: "But it's not for just anyone..." Dere'l: "Oh? What do you mean by that?" Yumitoko: "Well...it's not a good story...lets leave it like that..." Robinson: "So...I'm interested..." Yumitoko: "Alright then listen up. I was sitting around doing...nothing important. We were on this mission you see, you kill some things with Robinson and Lianne...We saw our target from a mile away....man he was looking good...but not good looking..." At this point the story was so boring it got Faust's attention... Yumitoko: "A man of slender age...possibly...we wanted to kill him you see..." Derilos: "Too bad." Dere'l turned her attention to Derilos who stepped from behind the crate Faust was sitting on. He held Wydona up like a rag doll and tossed her in the middle of the circle. Derilos: "Robinson, your toys aren't allowed to touch my toys...they are more dangerous...." Yumitoko: "Wydona!" Yumitoko ran up to her twin, for the first time she had shown any emotion since Dere'l had seen her... Yumitoko: "Wydona! Speak to me!" A muffled grumble drifted from Wydona's lips as if she were talking in her sleep... Robinson: "They are my assassin members...they do what they do best Derilos...but as for you and your group...hmph going to take a lot more then a greeting..." Derilos: "Is that so? How can they possibly be your stealth units?" Dere'l: "Derilos! Why would you..?" Derilos: "In fact Robinson...why don't you bring out the real one hmm?" Robinson: "What are you talking about?" Derilos: "I saw him now let's go...hide him all you want, I know where he is..." "It's alright...it's was a harder job then I expected Robinson..." A fairly sized man approached from the transport. Derilos: "I saw you enter the transport before we left...you must be the real stealth member..."
Silence stretched on as the two mercenary leader's faced off. Escuarde knew Derilos was fast but was was Robinson's advantage? Skills? With one member already injured it looked like niether leader was going to go back in the transport without a fight. Escuarde looked around, Hersin had gotten up and had started doing the medical thing on Wydona. Yhanu and Lianne was whispering to each other...knowing Yhanu it was probably betting on who's leader would win in a fight. Then there was this new guy, who was he? And how was he not noticed by anyone but Derilos? Derilos: "Not guns, if anyhting use knives or a sword hmm?" Robinson: "What do you have? Probably Sword..." Derilos: "Changed to knife...heh I bet he told you a lot about me didn't he?" Robinson: "He has told me enough." With one quick move, Derilos pulls out his knife and lunged at Robinson, Robinson unsheathed a small hand sword and blocked it...very even... Derilos: "Hmph, not bad...but you need to be better..." Robinson: "I can say the same about you..." *The mystery guy sat next to Escuarde and pulled out a drink and started hauling back. Escuarde was about to knock the guy when Derilos and Robinson moved again. This time Derilos dropped the knife and knee'd Robinson in the gut, Robinson cut his thigh while blocking the attack. It seemed as if Derilos had lost until he grabbed Robinson by the head, rolled back and launched him overhead. Now it was back to square one again... Derilos: "You're good...better then I had hopped..." Robinson: "Enough talking your dead!" With a smooth move, Robinson ran and slid under Derilos and thrusted his sword into his chest. A...clean...hit....
Zsadist learned back a drank his soda. He enjoyed watching his former enemy fight with his new trainee. He was a natural at sword fighting...shame his former leader couldn't figure that out. His as he was finished his drink, BAM! Derilos was hit with a critical shot...yeah he wasn't going to get up anytime soon. Zsadist: "Medic please! Zis guy has fallen on ze knife!" A pair of workers ran up and examined the damage, feeling in a taunting mood, Zsadist stood up and walked over Derilos' motionless body. Zsadist: "Zis is what you get hmm? History is one of a kind..." Derilos smiled slowly, a near evilish look to him. Derilos: "I'd worry more of your trainee..." Zsadist quickly looked behind his back, half expecting his trainee to stab him in the back. To his shock his trainee was lying face down a pool of blood emitting from his motionless body. Zsadist ran over and turned Robinson over. A large gash now visible over his abdomen. But when? Looking back Derilos still had that smile...and it dawned on him.... Zsadist: "You fool! How dare you?! You swore zat you will nevar use zat again!" Derilos: "And you...promised not...to hurt me again...tsk...tsk..." A pair of medics now arriving on the scene with a stretcher, with everyone crowding their leaders it was had to say anything front of the zoners...that was the last thing he needed....panic...
Dere'l followed the medics as they carried Derilos to the medical wing for treatment. Following behind her was Robinson's group and their people. Derilos had asked Yhanu for a quick favor which she was confused about, but Dere'l couldn't hear what he had asked for...he also asked Hersin and Escuarde to go tell the GMG pilots of the incidents and that they would be leaving the two here and will return to pick them up once the mission was completed. Lastly he asked Faust to oversee the medics job before he crumpled over in pain. It wasn't a bad slash in comparison to Robinson, his gut was nearly...Dere'l closed her eyes and she tried to shut out the image in her head. It was the last thing she wanted to see...Now that she thought about it thought, Dere'l didn't think Derilos was holding up too well, since he asked Faust of all people to watch over him,,, Medical woman: "Sorry hun, you'll have to stay here while we treat your boss ok?" Dere'l opened her eyes and found she was in the waiting room. "Dere'l: "Very well..." She took a seat as close to the door as possible, she wanted to make sure she was notified of Derilos' status before they left again... Medical woman: "You all will also have to wait..." The rest of Robinson's group sat close to her but at a distance...yeah no longer freinds were they?
Yhanu headed into the transport and opened Hersin's medical bag. Derilos had really lost his mind now. Of all the things for him to think up...She quickly found several red bags full of medical supplies. After quickly dumping them out into the bag, she took five of the six the red bags and was headed out. Hersin: "What are you doing?" Yhanu stopped dead in her tracks. She turned around slowly revealing the medical bags she held at her chest. Yhanu: "A request from the boss. It has to be done...." Hersin: "MY EQUIPMENT! No! All the time I spent organizing, all the wasted minutes, what the hell does he have to do that is so damn important?!" Yhanu held her tongue. She was unsure of Hersin's reaction to the boss' plans. It was definitely something the boss told her not to do, he would explain it himself...soon... Yhanu: "I cannot say he wil let you know when he is ready..." Hersin: "That important huh? Fine then, tell him next time to come to me directly.." Yhanu nodded even thought she knew it made little difference. Yhanu: "What did the GMG escorts say?" Hersin: "They will wait for us when we are ready, it is our mission after all..." Yhanu: "Hmm, they are rather laid back...but what am I doing? I gotta get this done, excuse me..." Stepping to the side, Yhanu rushed out of the transport and headed for a female bathroom. She had a bit of paint stashed already...hopefully the boss doesn't take this overboard...
Faust watched over the medics as they did a quick patch job on Derilos. It was smooth and effortless and done rather quickly, as if they had done it thousands of times already... Doctor: "Ok this one is done, now on to the next..." Faust silently followed behind the nurses as they wheeled Derilos out of the room. THey came to a quick halt by a group of guards waiting in the hallway. Guard: "We need to talk to you..." Faust's hands tensed up and slowly reached for his knife sitting at his back pocket. Made of hardened carbon fiber, it was hard to be detected. Derilos lifted up his hand and it rested on his arm, a firm grip reminding him that he was off his addiction and one killing will lead to another, so Faust put his hand back down. At this point Dere'l was right next to Derilos but on the other side of the bed. Derilos: "We have time to talk. But first I need to sort something out hmm?" Guard: "Very well..." Derilos: "Dere'l listen to me, I want you to take charge of the operation, it's simple-" Dere'l: "I cannot take your place!" Derilos: "Don't worry you'll just be holding my seat in a way ok? Now pay attention, What I want for you to do is land on the base, in my old command room will be a folder, Send a transmission to everyone on that folder and give them our new communication ID ok? This is very important, also if you encounter an corsairs defeat them and keep them hostage at the base, Yhanu will get some explosives set up but make sure they aren't activated ok? That is most important. Do this and then return to me so we can head back to our rooms ok?" Dere'l nodded slowly, as if trying to remember it all, but it seemed Derilos was confident in her abilities. Derilos: "Faust, I want you to look after her got it? She gets a single scratch on her skin and you'll burn for it..." Faust: "You can count on me boss.."
Escuarde returned with some of the GMG pilots, they were ready to go and didn't want to stay longer then needed. As they stepped into the waiting room, a slightly dark feeling to the room was present. It seemed Derilos was all patched up but he remained on his bed with Faust and Dere'l flanking him. Robinson's group sat on the bench to the left. They didn't seem like they were in a happy mood. Escuarde: "Guys are we ready to go? These pilots don't want to wait all day you know..." Dere'l: "We are ready but...what of Robinson's group?" Upon hearing that Lianne looked up at Dere'l, considering her options. Lianne: "Well, we might as well come along....We shouldn't have come down here just to be injured...let's get something done...Wydona? Yumitoko?" Yumitoko: "Yeah we might as well...where is Zsadist?" Everyone looked around wondered where the guy went. Wydona: "Last I saw him, he was with Robinson...but not anymore..." Dere'l: "We will give him a few minutes to show up after that we will leave without him..." Yhanu entered the wait room with a sting of bags tied together that looked like it was painted red also...She walked right over to Derilos and rested it over his abdomen. A crushing sound of ice clashing together confirmed the content the bags held. Dere'l: "This is what he asked you for?" Yhanu: "Sort of...it's more then just one thing, but nothing to worry about though..." Escuarde sat back as Dere'l and Yhanu went at it for a while. As time was wasting and he couldn't take it much longer. Escuarde: "Alright alright! Let's just go!" Dere'l took the lead and everyone followed, it seems as if she had now entered "boss" mode...
Hersin followed everyone as they filed into the transport. Faust and those twins were back at staring at each other, more angry then just stares now. Lianne and Yhanu sat next to each other but they didn't seem like friends if you were too look at them. Hersin sat next to Dere'l. She looked so lonely... Hersin: "Derilos will be fine...no need to worry..." Dere'l: "...I know...but I'm not sure if we should leave him alone...He seems so helpless..." Hersin: "Don't worry, it's our boss remember! He will be just fine..." Hersin looked on as the doors of the transport started to close. Zsadist: "Vait for me you idoits!" Zsadist rushed into the transport just as the dorrs closed. Zsadist: "Damn you fools, trying to leave me here?!" Wydona: "You talk too much..." Zsadist: "Any you-...where is Derilos and Robinson?" Dere'l: "We are leaving them here for now..." Zsadist: "Oi! Robinson said he wanted to go no matter what! Stop the transport!" Dere'l: "As the acting commander for this mission I say we are to move out now!" Zsadist looked shocked. Zsadist: "I never expected Derilos to trust someone other then himself..." Dere'l: "What is his trust to you? Sit down in this transport now or you will be forced to sit..." Zsadist took a second and then complied. He knew he was outnumbered, he was smarter then he looked apparently.

GMG pilot: "Yhanu! We got a problem up here!" Yhanu was up in a flash and headed for the cockpit. As everyone silently waited for the word on the problem. After a few minutes Yhanu returned. Yhanu: "We....are in trouble..."
Dere'l: "What's the problem Yhanu?" Yhanu: "Well how can I put it easily..." Everyone awaited impatiently and the fact she intentionally drew it out didn't make it much better... Yhanu: "Well umm..." Zsadist: "Out with it!" Dere'l: "Shut it! Yhanu please..." Yhanu: "Well, those fighter pads I equipped onto the transport? Well...it practically destroyed the power core, it was experimental after all...so in order for the transport to survive we have to dock at our base and get it fixed..." Zsadist: "Is that all your highness? Hell you and your team aren't vorth it! Stupid ba-" Dere'l got up and slammed Zsadist against the wall of the transport. Dere'l: "Complain about my team again, you and find yourself flying your way back with two metal pipes sticking out a place only waste like you can come from.." Everyone in the room tensed up as an impending fight was obvious but Dere'l let him go but kept facing him, she didn't want to be caught off guard. Dere'l: "Twins, Escuarde, get on the fighters..." Wydona: "Your a bright one aren't you? How can we? You baka's magnetized the fighters to the transport.." Yhanu: "This is where I come in." Yhanu walked past Dere'l and Zsadist and pulled a huge case from under her seat. She turned around and pulled another one from under Faust's seat. Faust: "Where did those come from?" Yhanu: "Snuck them in just before we left." She opened the cases and Dere'l immediately remember what was inside. "Mag-suit!" Yhanu: "You, these suits will allow three people to walk out of a transport and into the fighters..." Yumitoko: "Again you baka's, we will all die if we opened the doors..." Yhanu: "That's why we go into the cockpit.." Faust: "Is there enough space?" Yhanu: "Pray we do or else expect a quick death." GMG personnel: "Incoming corsairs! Yhanu do you have a plan?!" Yhanu: "You bet I do..." Dere'l: "Alright then everyone to the cockpit, Twins, Escuarde get those suits on and deal with those corsairs!"
Escuarde waited as everyone filed into the cockpit, it looked like the might all be quashed. Yeah thats one flaw for these suits. The twins stood next to him waiting impatiently. Wydona: "What about him Yumitoko? He cannot see..." Yumitoko: "We won't have a problem with him..." Escuarde wondered what they were going on about. Dere'l: "Ok there is some room back here, we'll be fine just hurry up and get into those suits. Once on you, they will suck out all the air within the suit and make it conform to your body ok?" Yumitoko: "Not a problem them...Wydona, if you will..." As the door closed Escuarde took his suit, wait...there was no room for him to change in...well except the bathroom....that will work...." As Escuarde headed for it, Yumitoko ran into it first, a smile was seen as she looked at him for an instant and then closed the door. Escuarde: "Great now what-" Escuarde looked to the right as saw the other bathroom. Escuarde: "Oh figures-" Pain seared into his leg. Escuarde struggled to sit down with the pain being so overwhelming and he looked at what had been done. Wydona stood above his a small knife in her hand with his blood on it...With the pain in his leg now making a huge statement like a actor on drugs, he had no choice but to lay down across the row of seats. Wydona laid on top of him and if it wasn't for the knife near cutting his throat, Escuarde would have loved this. Wydona: "MY sister likes you, but your not going to touch her, I will touch you and you will like it as a replacement understand? If you were to touch her in any way, I'd kill you in all ways possible FIRST then I'll watch as you slowly die and I'll send your organs to the corsairs to feast upon..." Escuarde: "that *cough* that's one serious...problem you have..." Wydona pushed herself harder on him and the knife started cut sink into his neck, she was really taking the fun out of this. Wydona: "You just remember what I said gaijin..." As she got up she pushed her weight down on his parts and Escuarde couldn't help but yell in pain. Yumitoko came out with her suit now on and she smiled at him. As Wydona walked into the room next and closed the door.
Yumitoko took her time and walked over as Escuarde was still bleeding out of his leg. She found hersin's medical bag and started taking things out. Yumitoko: "I trust my sis wasn't that hard on you?" Escuarde: "You don't know the half of it..." Yumitoko took out the gauze and some tape to wrap it with to keep it in place. Yumitoko: "I'm not good as being a medic so this will have to do..." Escuarde: "Call....Hersin..." Yumitoko looked up: "But that won' be fun will it?" Yumitoko lift up his leg and found the stab wound, she quickly filed through the bag again and found some scissors. She carefully cut the around the wound and took out a small chunk of fabric from his pants. She stared at the wound for what seemed like the longest time... Escuarde: "HERSIN! HER-" Yumitoko quickly covered his mouth. Yumitoko in a whisper: "Like I said... not fun..." She removed her hand and went back at his leg wound and...licked it. She slowly and softly licked his wound, she then covered it with the gauze and taped it up, She then moved over to his neck and licked that wound. Adding gauze and some tape she went back and packed up the medical stuff... Escuarde: "What is...wrong with you two?" Yumitoko: "One loves one and one hates one. It's who we are, consider yourself to have two targets on your head, one with a heart and one with a bullet...You're not the only one..." Escuarde: "Oh is that so? Who else are you in love with?!" Yumitoko: "Not you silly baka, Wydona....don't think she stares at your friend for nothing...they....have a special thing going on too.."
Wydona entered the bathroom and started changing her clothes. It's not like they needed to, but her sister and herself like to change before they put on suits like this one. It might wrinkle their clothes and a wrinkled clothing is a wrinkled Donimo. Or so the saying goes. 'Why does my sister have to love that jerk? He can't even hold himself in a sexual tone and yet...' Wydona shook her head of doubts and tried to clear her mind. 'No, one for one, she likes him and I like the other one...I guess it's only fair..." Wydona took off her shirt and pants, and was thankful you couldn't see through the suit. 'Well that's one positive about this thing. With her white panties and bra she looked something out of a ghost story. 'I gotta find someone right for me...' She pulled the suit just above her waist then lowered it a bit. She stared a the black markings on her body. One on the lower left just above the pants line, one under her bra on the right side and one over her chest on the left. Yumitoko has the same but on opposite sides...Yin and Yan...She resumes putting on the suit as a strange taste came into her mouth.......blood? She looked into the mirror and didn't see anything...she tasted the same blood again...if not her then..."Hell no..." Wydona rushed putting on the rest of her suit and burst through the door of the bathroom. Yumitoko was sitting on the other side across from Escuarde, the guy looked both confused and surprised and Yumitoko held her smile...something was going on here...
Faust waited like everyone else in the cockpit. It was a bit cramped but no one bothered to drive... GMG pilot: "It seems they haven't noticed us yet but they are close...we will come on their radars soon if we don;t get our fighters out..." GMG personnel: "If it wasn't for Yhanu's INVENTION we wouldn't be in this predicament..." Dere'l: "Shut it all of you, Yhanu's invention saves us some time of having to stop from base to base to keep those fighters in the air...I think it works wonders...Faust are they done yet?" Faus turned around and looked out the window, It seems as though Wydona was giving Escuarde something to fight for and Yumitoko was no where to be seen...on top of that he hear a slight yell as Wydona got off of him... Faust: "They are half ready..." Dere'l: "Can you tell them to move it please?" Faust: "I'd tell them but then they might take it another way..." Dere'l: "What do you mean?" Faust: "Oh nothing for now....they know we are in trouble no need to remind them..." Faust turned back around and he felt his range grow within himself. Not good in this enclosed space...He tried to breath slowly...that didn't do anything...he tried to hurt himself...again didn't work...As sweat started to drip down his neck he had the feeling he would kill everyone in the room. Then pain...lots of it...Faust keeled over in pain as he tried to think of what hit him so fast...He looked to his left and saw Yhanu with a smug look on her face... Yhanu: "Boss told me what I needed to do..." Dere'l: "What?" Yhanu: "Oh just a little something about faust I had to keep under control..." Dere'l: "Why didn't he ask me to do it?" Yhanu: "I don't know, he probably didn't think you could handle it." Not good, Faust looked back at the last time the boss told Dere'l she couldn't do anything...
Dere'l smashed her way past everyone and stopped right in front of Faust. Derel': "You like pain huh? Well here to you go!" She all but caved his chest in with one solid punch. Yhanu: "You call that pain?" Yhanu kicked Faust's leg so hard he heard a snap. Maybe it was a pop? All he knew for sure was that he leg was definitely broken now.. Dere'l: "That's all you can do?" Dere'l grabbed Faust's Arm and broke his elbow then his fingers...one...by....one... Faust: "OK OK THAT'S ENOUGH!" Faust turned around slowly and looked out the window, as he tuned out Dere'l and Yhanu arguing he watched as the twins and Escuarde now suited up walked out of the transport and out into space... Faust: "Hey Yhanu, you told them how to activate the magnets on their suits?.....Yhanu.....Yhanu...Yha-" Yhanu: "WHAT?!" Faust: "Look." He pointed out the window at the three now floating bodies in space. Yhanu: "Crap...." The door closed and everyone filed back into the transports belly. Traces of blood could be smelled and Hersin got right to work. Yhanu stayed in the cockpit to try to get the now helpless pilots. Yhanu: "Comms! They have a comms channel same for every suit! Here let me do it!" A few clicks and yeah she got it. Yumitoko: "I knew it...they are all baka's." Wydona: "Agreed." Escuarde: "Hey hey! let's just figure this out ok?" Yhanu: "Finally! Guys listen there is a knob on your suits turn it!" Yhanu watched as the twins was now floating towards them instead of behind them and the were picking up some speed. (Klonk!) They made it, but what about Escuarde? Yhanu: "Escuarde, the knob...on your chest...not hard to do..." Escuarde: "It's on my back! Dammit!" Wydona: "It seems the baka didn't put the suit on properly....how unfortunate..." Escuarde: "There got it!.....Why am I still floating away?!" Yhanu: "Dammit you're suit's magnetic field is too small! We'll have to get closer! Twins hurry up and get into those fighters so we can move this thing!" Yumitoko: "Sure thing." Wydona: "Pray that I don't kill him first though..." Clonking sounds came from the hull as the twins walked up to their fighters and climbed in... Yumitoko: "We're in, were are the corsairs?" GMG pilot: "Oh now there are eight of them now! We must have been spotted from the beginning!"
Zsadist looked on as Derilos' fail of a squad tried to save one of their members. It was really sad but Zsadist didn't bother to help them, If they are as good as Derilos claims they can be and should be self-sufficient. Lianne sat back in her chair, the only reason Zsadist noticed was because she had been quiet since they got on the transport. Zsadist couldn't help but wonder what would keep her so quiet all this time. Determined to find out he scooted next to her and after a few awkward moments, he decided to talk to her. Zsadist: "This is pazthetic isn't it? A sad ezcuse for a team...wouldn't you agree Lianne?" Lianne: "Don't talk to me you inconsiderate jerk..." Zsadist: "What are you talking about?" Lianne: "Our leader is incapacitated and all you can think of is insulting others?!" Zsadist: "Relax Robinson will be fine..." Lianne: "Oh? And how do you know?" Zsadist: "I know Derilos, he won't kill Robinson...at least...I thought I knew knew him...oh well we can kick his behind when we get back hmm? That's only if we find he has hurt Robinson...otherwise it's best not to try it..." Lianne: "Is he really that strong?" Zsadist: "mmm, you can say zat...but he's strongest weapon is his cunning, not his arm." Lianne: "What's wrong with his arm?" Zsadist: "Oh umm....it's complicated....very complicated..." Lianne: "Don't hold information outside the group!" Faust: "What information?" Zsadist and Lianne noticed Faust standing right in front of them. Lianne & Zsadist: "This doesn't concern you!" Faust: "Picky eh? Well just to update you two, the fighters have been launched and we are moving again with eight corsairs and more on the way...our base isn't far from here..." Zsadist: "OI! YOU ZDIOTS! YOU'LL LEAD THEM TO THE BASE!" Dere'l: "That's the point..."
Escuarde took the scouting position with Yumitoko with Wydona acting as escorts. Wydona: "Are we there yet? They are close you know...baka..." Escuarde checked his map. They were still 20k away from their destination. Escuarde: "We have to fight them. We won't make it at this rate..." Yumitoko: "But they aren't attacking us yet." Escuarde: "Exactly they must be calling in for additional help...maybe a bomber or cruiser..." Wydona: "Let's kill them then shall we?" Dere'l: "No we can make it, once under the protection of the base we will be able to wipe them out..." Escuarde: "But at this rate-" Dere'l: "No excuses, move!" Escuarde: "Fine fine, don't blame me if they find the base..." Escuarde sat back and let the navigation computer take over. Escuarde: "What do you have planned anyway?" Yhanu: "I've been storing up a little secret for a while now..." Dere'l: "Just move faster..." GMG personnel: "They cannot just speed away from us! They are our only protection!" Dere'l: "Then get this tanker moving!" GMG personnel: "Don't try to tell us to do the impossible!" Escuarde: "We are in range, I'd suggest a crash landing..." Dere'l: "Don't be stupid cover our back as we land.." Yhanu: "I'll have the guns up in a minutes or less..." Everyone waited while the transprt docked. The corsairs waited just 6k out from the base. It wouldn't be long before more come...Once the door's opened a foul stench arose form the inside of the base. Hersin: "Looks like I've got a lot of cleaning to do.." Dere'l: "Don't bother we won't be staying here for long..."
Yhanu stepped off of the transport. Ah the old base. The rusty walls, the completely metal floors, the terrible smell...ok that was new but still...Just like home.. Dere'l: "Ok let's move I need some people to operate the guns! Yhanu how long before they are up?" Yhanu: "Give me...a minute tops..." Yhanu ran through the entrance corridor and into the main body of the base. Not as many corridors as she remembered...'Now the one on the right leads to the bedroom and shower area, the center corridor leads to the maintenance and power core...then the one on the left should lead to the kitchen and command center...' Yhanu took the left corridor, lights were dim in this base, which could only mean the power core is overheating or a plug was missing. Which wasn't good. As she ran down the corridor she also noticed the thousands of wire panels left open and some wires that was either rusted or not connected...so many problems...She reached the kitchen and climbed up the ladder to reach the command center. She heard footsteps so she knew Dere'l had sent some people to operate the guns. Yhanu checked the sensors and security systems. Luckily they were all working. The guns had some power in them but one of the solaris versions didn't look like it would work at all...but she would soon find out. She stepped up to the control panel and several of the GMG personnel dismounted the ladder.
{=Welcome to S_L_A_S_H=}

Yhanu typed in the last code she could remember.

Yhanu: "Alright all the turrets are working go get them!" The GMG personnel rushed to the controls of the Huntress turrets while Yhanu took control of one of the M'Denthor's. GMG Personnel: "I need range limit, speed, refire rate?" Yhanu: "Range 5k, speed 1.1k m/s refire rate six." GMG Personnel: "Roger. They are sitting outside 6k at the moment, should we move to one of the heavier guns?" Yhanu: "Negative, I'll get them to come closer..."
Faust watched as everyone all but walked out of the transport. Being one of the last ones to go he couldn't help but feel....weird...something strange was calling him. Like a dog to food a strange smell caught his nose...Cardamine....Cardamine was in here...
Hersin looked around at the messed up base. It looked absolutely horrid. The rust on the walls, the wires sticking out...all terrible...but he had lived here hadn't he? A long long time ago...The lights were dim and almost lifeless as Dere'l, Zsadist, Lianne and himself filed into the kitchen area. It seems as though Yhanu and the other GMG personnel were up in the control room manning the guns. The other two pilots has just gotten their fighters off the transport and after the rolled around a bit they were activated and joined the other fighters. But Hersin didn't bother caring. His duties lied within healing those who have come from the battlefield not those who run toward it. With nothing better to do he opened the fridge, lots of old food in here. It might have been what was causing the horrible smell...hard to tell... (BOOM) Huh? Oh the turrets, looks like either Yhanu was getting trigger happy or the GMG personnel wasn't playing around... This isn't good, those two girls were nothing but trouble in Hersin's opinion. Faust came speeding thought and landed on his face in the middle of the Kitchen...ah good times... Hersin: "Still slipping Faust?" Faust: "Don't remind me..." Hersin couldn't help but laugh. So many memories here....and they won't stay here for long to remember them all....Zsadist: "You fools live in a pigsty..." Hersin: "At least we have one...or rather had one...the point is, you don't to my knowledge so that's one more that you don't have." Zsadist: "True....so true...BUT! Better to have none then this junker..." Faust: "That is your opinion...I use to love slipping on this floor...I kinda miss doing it..." Zsadist: "Pathetic..." Dere'l: "Hersin are you hungry?" Hersin: "Not really...but some food while I wait can't be such a bad thing..." Dere'l: "We have some food in the transport, wait there I'll be right back..." Hersin: "But-" Dere'l: "No butts hehe." Dere'l ran down the corridor and the twins showed up. Hersin looked around again, Faust had up and disappeared, some mold started growing on the ceiling and other then that the kitchen looked pretty normal...
Lianne climbed up the ladder to see the action. She didn't like the idea of sitting around waiting to die, she preferred to face it head on. (BOOM) Ouch...as Lianne rubbed her ears a little bit, it became obvious that the fight had started...Yhanu and the GMG personnel were manning the turrets with serious concentration. Dere'l said she would join them to oversee but...Lianne looked behind her...Dere'l wasn't climbing the ladder? Lianne quickly turned around and looked below searching for the girl. Dere'l: "Hersin are you hungry?" Hersin: "Not really...but some food while I wait can't be such a bad thing..." Dere'l: "We have some food in the transport, wait here I'll be right back..." Lianne stood up and returned to the battle. No need listen in on other peoples conversations...She stepped up to a panel which was showing the events of the battlefield nicely, along with some information about the number of turrets on the base and allied pilots, blah blah blah...It seems the corsairs we being taunted to come close. One of the larger cannons for the station was shooting long range, which was easily avoidable, but as they came in range to shoot at the fighters, faster turrets opened fire on them and two corsairs would fall...it wouldn't be long before yeah, they stopped trying to attack the fighters and they sat there just avoiding the large cannon fire...'Guess they learn quick...' Yhanu: "Fighters, go get them and slowly draw them to the base, we will use the Huntress turrets once they are close enough..." Escuarde: "Roger." Wydona & Yumitoko: "Copy." GMG Pilots: "Understood.." Now the fun began.
As the fighters ran off the corsairs wasted no time and was back within the range of the huntress turrets again... Lianne: "Why don't you use the Huntress turrets?" Yhanu: "They have a range of 5k those corsairs are sitting around 4k right now...if we expect to kill them we need to wait until they reach 3k or they will survive..." Minutes passed and the GMG pilots took out two of the remaining four...Yhanu: "Fire...now! They only have two left!" Lights streaked as the turrets went to work. The corsairs were demolished in no time... Lianne: "Large target showing up on scanners now...really big..." Yhanu: "I got it, hey guys can you mount these two M'denthor turrets? I'll use the Hydroner..." GMG personnel: "Sure no problem..." As the corsair cruiser came into view, it was truly a fearsome sight... Yhanu: "On my mark....now!" Two large blue shells launched at the cruiser. It immediately dodged but was too slow... it began firing with it's guns. Lianne: "Can our shield withstand this fire?" Yhanu: "Wait for it...." The cruiser continued firing as red streaks hit again and again. Lianne: "WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?!" Yhanu: "Almost there...." Lianne: "YHANU!" Yhanu: "FIRE!" (BWACK) A huge purple shell a third the size of the cruiser was launched at the thing. In the process the station's power went out. But Lianne didn't notice..the sheer size and beauty of what happened next was one in a million...
Escuarde dodged left and right, he had finally become accustomed to the Eagle fighter. Once they had gotten it, he had been having trouble using the thing. Now it was like second nature... GMG pilot: "That's one of the bastards down! only two left now!" Victory seemed assured and Escuarde couldn't help but feel happy. Perhaps this was far more then a death mission, perhaps it more of a have fun mission...Yumitoko: "Stop daydreaming Escuarde!" Escuarde quickly snapped back into focus. One of the corsairs must have noticed he was zoned out because he was right behind him now. Hitting the thruster Escuarde tried desperately to get the corsair off his back. But he was a very skilled pilot, and Escuarde couldn't shake him...The corsairs shot at him mercilessly, and Escuarde watched near helplessly as his shield was dropped and his hull was going next...Suddenly shots started flying past his cockpit. The base! Huntress turrets! They were going to save him! (KZAK) Flames billowed all around him, his hull had been hit hard. Finding it hard to see, Escuarde knew he had to call for help or risk hitting an asteroid. Escuarde: "Someone got eyes on me? I cannot see, I need to land now!" GMG pilot: "I see you! What you need to do is turn ninety degrees right and bank down thirty degrees and then gun it! You'll hit hard but you can make it!" Escuarde: "Roger!" Escuarde felt helpless now, with nothing but directions he tried to turn right ninety degrees, and then banked down thirty degrees. As he flew it seems as if he would make it. GMG pilot: "Corsair cruiser! HURRY ESCUARDE!" Escuarde: "Ok I'll try!" GMG pilot: "Wait wait, your at a bad angle!" Escuarde: "What-"...a sizzling crack was the last thing he could remember...
Faust sat in the docking area of the base, he tried hard to avoid his cardamine addiction calling to him. 'The boss don't want me to use, he don't want me to use...' His eye twitched as he fought against what seemed to be his natural urge. At that time, the bunny man showed up. Bunny man: "Don't fight us Faust! Hurry and we can spread love again!" Then the fat lady showed up. Fat lady: "Faust, you want to do what is right? Listen to your orders and stay away!" Dere'l: "Faust?....Faust.......Faust!" Faust snapped out of his daydream. Faust: "Hmm? How can I help you Dere'l?" Dere'l: "Well hersin is hungry...so would you ike to help em grab the food crates?" Faust: "Sure..." Standing up, faust moved silently behind Dere'l, his contradiction imaginations fighting within his head. Dere'l: "Here we go, some of this....some of that..." The food pile grew larger and larger as if Dere'l Intended to feed everyone and everything. After a few minutes she was done. Dere'l: "Ok that looks good..." (BWACK) The lights shut off and a large purple shell could be seen as it glowed and illuminated nearly everything within the docking area. Dere'l and Faust ran to get a closer look. The shell took it's time as it headed for the corsair cruiser that was in it's way. As if the entire system started to scream the shell hit. A huge shock wave with purple rings spread through the system. A bright white light all but blinded everyone. The cruiser didn't seem like it stood a chance as after the bright light finally dimmed it's scrapped parts were all that was left...nothing else survived...
Yhanu sat back in her chair. At last, they were safe....for now... Looking around she checked to see if the other GMG personnel and Lianne were safe. They stared dumbfounded by the main gun's firepower. Yhanu tried to think back to see if anything was built yet to match it. The only thing that came to mind was the good ol' fashion Heavy Mortar. Which was the base model of the Main gun, But Derilos had requested Yhanu to make it stronger so sacrificing power efficiency for more power, thus Yhanu created the Hydroner. With an overwhelming power to energy deficiency Derilos had been eager to test it out. But back then they hadn't found any worth targets....until now... Yhanu: "Hey....you guys ok?" GMG Personnel: "You...created...that?" Yhanu: "Yeah, don't worry about it. Most of my other inventions were much more brutal..." GMG Personnel: "You cannot be serious...." Yhanu: "Ah....sure why not hmm? C'mon let's go check on the others...eh? No power huh? Told that bastard...ah well I'll go check the main generator..." Yhanu started her decent down the ladder. She warned something like this would happen to Derilos....the bastard didn't listen....
Hersin sat in his seat as the lights went out but a small generator turned on and a small light was turned on in the kitchen. A backup plan Derilos had that Yhanu should have invested more time in. The large blast could be heard as if everywhere...as if Yhanu herself tried to fire all her ideas at once...Hersin shuddered at the thought. Yhanu wasn't usually a nice girl at times...It churned his stomach to think what she use to be capable of. Zsadist: "Oi...what zhe hell is wrong with the power?" Hersin: "Yhanu probably..." Zsadist: "Zat doesn't answer my question. Hersin: "Your question was answered...you just don't understand the solution in front of you..." Zsadist: "Heh...trying to be a smart one are you?" Hersin: "I don't ant to get into a fight, ust keep your thoughts to yourself till Yhanu gets the power back on at least..." Zsadist: "Hmph...just tell that chick to-" Metal clanged as Yhanu came down the ladder. Yhanu: "Tell me what now?" Zsadist: "We need power...or are you bind?" Yhanu: "I wouldn't try to push my buttons...not right now...got it?" Zsadist: "You and what army will stop me from doing or killing you?" Yhanu pulled out a switchblade knife from her pocket and Hersin leaned back causally and pulled out a short needle from his sleeve. If there was going to be a fight, Hersin wanted to make sure Zsadist was the first casualty. Zsadist: "Hmph, I won't push deal? Just hurry up and do what you do." Yhanu didn't bother to answer and stormed off mad as ever. Yeah Zsadist was going to have to be dealt with...
Lianne sat as the rest of the fireworks ended. The purple blast looked almost like a star in itself. In the lasting moments. It was as if Lianne could see the few hundred souls being erased from this world. Never in her life had she seen something so beautiful and dangerous...Yhanu: " Hey....you guys ok?" GMG Personnel: "You...created...that?" Yhanu: "Yeah, don't worry about it. Most of my other inventions were much more brutal..." GMG Personnel: "You cannot be serious...." Yhanu: "Ah....sure why not hmm? C'mon let's go check on the others...eh? No power huh? Told that bastard...ah well I'll go check the main generator..." Lianne heard Yhanu descend down the ladder and eventually the GMG personnel left too. In silence Lianne pondered about her future. It seems as the very blast changed her whole perspective on life as she knew it. Without much effort she came to a decision quickly... Lianne: "Yes...it makes sense now..." Lianne walked out of the room and down the ladder. Without power this was easier said then done. She had thought it probably would have been better if she'd just waited for Yhanu to fix the power...But eventually she reached the ladder and decended until she reached halfway and a light could be seen. Wasting no time she slid down and reached the bottom. Silence stretched on as she simply sat by the table and waited with Hersin and Zsadist who didn't look like he was in a good mood...
{--Blast reincarnation--}
Dere'l took a step back from the window. With a discontented sigh she tried to find a place to sit. It was looking as if she and Faust were going to be a while. Faust stood by the window captivated. He was into the large battle stuff wasn't he? Faust: "Uh...hmmm" Dere'l: "Problem Faust?" Faust: "Well...I thought I saw Escuarde for a second....but I guess not..." Dere'l: "What?!" Dere'l ran up to another window and tried to look around. Large bits of debris floated around but that was besides the point. What about the fighters? Did they survive the blast? As the debris moved around slowly, Dere'l tried her best to look around. Faust: "Ah there he is!" Dere'l: "Where?!" Dere'l practically plowed Faust out of the way. Yep he was right, There just behind some debis was the Eagle fighter. It looked mostly intact. What about- Oh...Behind one of the larger debris chunks was the two GMG fighters. They looked like they got banged up a bit but relatively ok. Dere'l: "Oh sorry faust here let me help you up." Dere'l held out her hand and Faust took it and got to his feet. Dere'l: "We should get the food to the kitchen. Yhanu: "No, not yet please. Let me fix the power first ok?" Dere'l: "Sure Yhanu, let us know ok?" Yhanu: "Not a priblem, shouldn't take long..." Yhanu dissappeared down the corridor. Since she built this base it was to be expected. The star nebula of the system illuminated some parts through the window but other then that it was dark. But Yhan knew her way around this place. She helped build it after all...
Faust waited and waited, the smell of cardamine calling to him still. Derilos must have expected this because now Faust had to face his addiction without using it. Which was something that never happened. As if moving his feet was far from his control, both his feet started to twice. Faust assumed it to be a side effect. Seconds stretched into minuted but Faust was determined to stay put. A mirror image of himself and the Fat Lady battling it out within his head. If that wasn't bad enough Faust was actually with the Fat lady this time. He couldn't go use cardi and disobey Derilos could he? Pain rose as his mind conflicted with itself and it wasn't soon until Faust started to get mad. Mad at himself, Mad at his cardi, Mad at everything. Throwing all things out of his mind, he made a decision, he HAD to get that cardi, there wasn't going to be any more negotiations. There would only be killing. Faust rose to his feet and ran from the corridor. Dere'l: "Faust? Faust where are you going?!" Faust ignored Dere'l and continued to plow through anything in his way, wither it be a bag or a crate. The walls were something that couldn't have been trampled over but one day Faust was going to find a way to plow through them too. He reached the bedrooms and quickly found his old room. Wasting no time he opened the door and there it was. His entire stash of cardi stilling on his bed. He was about to go and finally get rid of his anger but something didn't seem right. Why was his cardi out like this? If anything he would have hidden it....Just then Yhanu popped from the ceiling and (TWICK! TWICK!)....popped two darts into his neck....
Zsadist sat back and waited for the power to be turned back on or whatever that little...no not today, don't get mad...that Yhanu girl was asking for it. And mister calm and cool the wannabe doctor was going to get some next if he was going to start a fight. Zsadist (thoughts): 'Stay cool ja? You only have to deal with these zdiots for a little while longer...then Robinson and his crew and myself of course can get outta this hell hole and head for better waters.' Convinced that it would be easy, Zsadist actually began to relax. Resting his feet up on the table, he felt as if everything would be sorted out just fine...Lianne: "What's wrong Zsadist? You seem to be in a happy mood..." Zsadist: " Don't test me girl...if Robinson didn't hired you...heh I don;'t need to go further...." Hersin: "Disgusting..." Lianne: "You wouldn't!" Zsadist: "I would what? Kill you? your acting as if that's not a common thing around here..." Lianne: "Oh..." Zsadist: "You havea corrupted mind girl...I suggest you focus more on your mission rather then me..." Lianne: "Is there a light I can use?" Hersin: "Other then ours? No...sorry.." Lianne: "That's ok then...I don't mind waiting..." Zsadist: " What's taking that little....gah, forget it I'm going to sleep!" Zsadist laid back as far as he could and closed his eyes. The silence was stunning, and no complaints from smart mouth little boy over there? This must have been something ordained for him to happen...
Yhanu dragged Faust out of the room. She locked the door and prompted Faust upright and let him lean against the wall. To make herself feel better she placed an air filtering mask over Faust's bad-face...which in the end didn't look right at all but better then nothing. Yhanu headed into the power generator room. The bright yellow glow of the machine was a welcoming site.
Yhanu: "Hey old girl! You miss me?" Yhanu walked around to check to make sure everything was set in place. None of the wires were out and all the switched were in their place. Yhanu: "Alright, time for your jump start. Hey hey! It's ok, I trust you whole heartedly, We just need the power on soon m'kay? Nothing personal...I know! I know what I said before but....yeah but...so your asking me to wait? Fine five minutes got it? Good." Yhanu sat next to her creation as it hummed in silence. Out of all her inventions, the power generator was the only one what Yhanu believed had a mind of it own. When Yhanu first built it, it had flaws as usual. Every time she tried to change it, it only got worse. She tried everything from hitting it to hitting with with things but nothing changed. She eventually started just talking to it one day and it started to work. Much longer then it originally had. When Yhanu tried beating it again for it's lack luster performance one day, the thing shut off for a week before it would turn back on again. This convinced Yhanu the machine was alive and favored a break or two...
Lianne sat in silence, the animosity between Zsadist and Hersin grew with time. Lianne estimated it would only be a few minutes before they were fighting or worse....dead. Hersin: "So Lianne, where do you come from?" Zsadist: "Shut up..." Hersin: "Why don't you make me?" Zsadist: "You talking as if it'll be hard..." Hersin: "Your too overconfident." Zsadist: "No, just confident in my abilities." Hersin: "I think you need a reality check." Zsadist: "I can zay the same for you." Hersin: "Oh really? For someone who talks a lot you don't use much action to backup your words." Zsadist: "No need, my actions will overwhelm you and turn you into mince meat." Hersin: "You honestly cannot beat me." Lianne: "ENOUGH! God, you two are annoying...I'm going to check up on Dere'l..." Zsadist: "Whatever..." Lianne headed out of the room. Those two were nothing but trouble alone but Lianne didn't care. Even thought they talk tough, they were laid back relaxing and it was anything but helpful to her right now. Entering the docking area, Dere'l sat alone. No one else around and Lianne felt bad for her being alone like this. After what they both probably saw being alone was the last thing they all needed. Lianne walked over and sat next to her. Dere'l leaned on her and sighed. Lianne: "All alone huh?" Dere'l: "Mhmm..." Lianne: "That's ok...girls stick together..."
Yumitoko: "Where is he?" Wydona: "Who knows?" The twins carefully guided their craft around the wreckage. Chunks of rooms remained although what was in them couldn't have been known unless you were on the ship prior....but even then....the destructive power of that mortar shell or whatever it was, had devastating power. Yumitoko: "We have to find him..." Wydona: "Relax we won't find him." Yumitoko: "Relax?! I WANT HIM FOUND!" Wydona: "As you wish sister...we will find him then..." Yumitoko looked left and right, bodies floated around utterly torched. If anything remained on them it looked as if they were practically fused with the body and then some...Yumitoko turned up the power outpot of her ships centeral lights. They glowed brighter but it didn't seem to change much. YUmitoko: "Wydona, do you see anything?" With no answer Yumitoko began to get worried. Yumitoko: "Wydona? You there?" GMG pilot: "Ugh..." Yumitoko: "Oh! One of the GMG pilots! Are you safe?!" GMG pilot: "Ugh....yeah...got caught in the blast a bit..." Yumitoko looked around to see if she could find the fighter. With nothing to go on she was searching for a pin in a scrapyard. She moved up and looked around again. Yumitoko: 'I'll never find him at this rate..' Out of sheer luck one of the large debris chunks moved and a glimmer of white could be seen. Moving towards it carefully the glimmer grew into a small tip, then a wing then an engine, then....uh oh....
Dere'l sat alone as the cold docking area seemed to chill her straight to her core. Faust left her all alone and for the first time in a few hours it was quiet. Even her dream last night was loud. Dere'l sighed, her dream with Derilos...yeah she wished she could live through that everyday....the pain was worth it in her opinion...Lianne walked over and sat next to her. Dere'l had felt a connection to this girl for some reason, since the day they first met. Dere'l rested her head on Lianne's shoulder as if it was meant to be so. With all the new responsibility to deal with and having to deal with Lianne's group as well, things wasn't looking so good. Dere'l let out a sigh as things were starting to look foggy in terms of extra responsibility. Lianne: "All alone huh?" Dere'l: "Mhmm..." Lianne: "That's ok...Girls stick together..." For no particular reason Dere'l started to cry. It started with just tears at first then it came in heaps. Lianne: "Hey hey it's ok!" Lianne wrapped her arm around her and Dere'l couldn't help but feel worse. This was too much for her....just too much... Dere'l: "I'm strong I shouldn't need to cry." Lianne: "Your still young, it happens from time to time..." Dere'l: "I wish Derilos was here..." Lianne: "What's your obsession with him? I don't mean to offend but I've noticed your always around him...why?" Dere'l: "Well..."
'... ... ....mmm...what is that? I....I cannot see....is that a? Light? I cannot move my eyelids...not... good... gotta move...' Escuarde tried to move his arms, but found he couldn't move them. He tried to move his legs. They were stuck too. With a shocking truth, reality came back to him and he began to hurt everywhere. His back was clentched, his legs felt as if they were being stung over and over again. His arms felt as if they were stones. A small peek hole of light shone in his eyes. That explains what he was seeing. But where was he? What about he battle? Questions surged into his brain which only made his situation worse. Escuarde: "Ugh...I....gotta get out of...here..." (WONK....WONK....WONK) Escuarde: "What the....hell is that?" (WONK....WONK....SCREEEE) Escuarde clentched his eyes as his ears started to bleed. It wouldn't be long before he was dead. Being stuck completely, Escuarde started to give up hope. As if in space....wait he was in space right right, Escuarde's ship started to move slowly at first and then faster. His peek hole dimmed and the greater picture was revealed. He was looked at a fire? As his ship moved further and further more things came into hi view, first a room then more and more, all scorched. Escuarde: "No...it cannot be..." A few bodies entered the picture and it looked nothing like a corsair suit. Escuarde couldn't hold it in anymore. Tears rolled down his chheck even though he didn't want them to. Either from the pain or the fact the base was destroyed and he was being dragged off by what was possibly corsairs to be scavenged, Escuarde had no reason to live anymore...there was only one last thing to do. Moving his arm a bit, metal pricked him left and right and his arm wouldn't budge. After a while he was able to forcibly remove his arm from the crater and some slices in his arm drew blood...as if he wasn't already. Escuarde pulled out his last resort from one of his drawers that, yes thank god was still able to move....and he took out his grenade....
Yhanu waited in silence for her machine to decide to work again. This was getting ridiculous, waiting for a machine to turn itself on, not like it has done it before right? Well there was once but that was only due to a small spark in between the wires which incidentally moved the switch connector that controlled the flow of energy into the machine thus allowing it to activate without being touched. But Yhanu has found that problem and fixed it and it hasn't done that since. Yhanu: "What the hell am I doing? Let's get this done." Yhanu walked up to the machine and pressed the starter button but nothing happened. Yhanu: "Ok this might take longer then I thought..." Crouching down Yhanu pulled open the maintenance hatch and examined inside. Nothing looked out of place but she checked the cables and bolts just to be sure. With nothing else to check Yhanu closed the hatch and leaned on the machine. As if by divine intervention, the thing started. Yhanu: "Why didn't you tell me you just wanted a hug?!" In no time the lights were back on and everything seemed to be working in the mechanical side but Yhanu still needed to check the bridge... Yhanu: "I'll be right back ok?" The yellow glow from the machine started to dim. Yhanu: "Hey hey it'll be ok!" Yhanu leaned in close and gave the machine a kiss, which seemed to have been worth something as it started to glow bright yellow. Yhanu: "Heh you sensitive old thing..." Yhanu headed out for the bridge and prayed everything was working finally...
Hersin sat completely still. Zsadist was getting on his last nerves and it was coming to the point they were ready to fight. It wouldn't be long before one was on the floor dead, and Hersin knew it wouldn't be him. Taking no chances he decided to make the first strike. Moving as fast as he could he gripped his needle tightly and went for Zsadist's throat. Zsadist must have known he was going to do that because he quickly dodged left and got out of his seat. Zsadist: "Zat is a zad demonstration of your abilitiez..." Hersin: "You'll only live fr=or a few moments longer, why try to struggle?" Zsadist: "I don't struggle, you just cannot hit me. Is your eyesight that bad?" Hersin couldn't deal with it anymore. This was going to end now. With a quick movement, Hersin crouched and lunged at Zsadist. the one thing Hersin didn't expect was for Zsadist to step closer to him...and land a solid blow to the stomach. The punch felt like a large cinder block. Hersin fell back and tried to calm his breathing. The ligths came on and thankfully caught Zsadist's attention. Zsadist: "Light! That woman took forever! Damn!" Lifting his arms up high and spinning around with excitement, Hersin seized his final chance. Lunging again Hersin tried to target his opponent's neck with his small needle. Zsadist: "You don't learn! Your too slow! I-" Hersin stopped...and slowly smiled. Zsadist: "I-....I..." Hersin: "Paralyzed are you? I'd love to explain but it'll take you too long to comprehend with your small brain..."
The lights came on, slowly at first but then began to glow brighter. Lianne noticed but neglected to say anything. Dere'l was looking back on her life and Lianne was utterly captivated. Dere'l: "I use to be a unioner...I ran away from home you can say....my parents wanted me to join the Rheinland Military or become a lawyer or even become just an escort....they just wanted me to be on the good side you can assume but they never bothered to ask me what I wanted to become. I wanted adventure, fun or even surprise....I wouldn't find it in those things...although that's what I thought back then. So I ran away and joined the one thing I could think of. The unioners...see they had attacked a transport I was one once before but they didn't do much....they got chased off and you guess I had been wondering what their life was life ever since. It wasn't long...about five years before I was kicked out. Not really but it felt like I was. I made a mistake and my commanding officer lost it..." Dere'l sighed. Dere'l: "Then I met Derilos....and I joined him...." Lianne: "That sounds harsh...." Dere'l: "Yeah you can say that...Oh...the lights...c'mon want to help me cook?" Lianne: "Oh...umm no I don't know-" Dere'l: "Don't worry I can teach you come on!" Getting up Lianne helped carry some of the food stacks into the kitchen. Upon their arrival Zsadist was laid out on one of the seats sleeping and Hersin sat in silence. Dere'l: "What happen? Was he that tired?" Hersin: "Mmm...you can say that? I cannot be sure..." Dere'l: "I see......well Lianne, let's get started!"
Yhanu left the generator to do it's work and proceeded to the bridge. Yhanu: 'Oh wait! Faust!' Turning back around she headed to check on up the guy. Making quick work of the trip, Yhanu found Faust still leaning on the wall outside of his room. One thing was different...the mask Yhanu had placed over his bag was now underneath. No doubt he had awoken and moved it. Yhanu: 'Well what do you know...' Heading back for the control room, Yhanu needed to make sure the bridge was operational or they would be a sitting duck. They also had some fighters in space right? They will need to land soon too. Yhanu broke from a walk into a sprint and covered the hallways in no time. Paying no attention to the crowd in the kitchen Yhanu climbed up the ladder. Dere'l: "Oh Yhanu! thanks for turning the lights back on!" Yhanu (without looking back): "Don't thank me yet, we still have fighters outside." Dere'l: "Oh no! They could have been killed! Yhanu do you need help?" Yhanu ran to the controls and started the activation sequence. Yhanu: "No no, I'll need some of you to head down to the hangar and make sure those fighters have a safe landing!" Dere'l: "No problem, coming Lianne?" Lianne: "I don't think I'll be of much help but....sure.." Loud clanking ensured as what seemed to be three pairs of shoes ran down the hallway.
Wydona carefully navigated the wreckage. She took her time and kept to herself. Yumitoko: "Wydona? Wydona!" GMG pilot: "Perhaps she ran off somewhere? I'm sure we will find her..." Yumitoko: "This isn't like her...why would she just run off like this?" GMG pilot two: "Ugh...that blast...so much damage...what about that Escuarde guy? Anyone got eyes on him?" Yumitoko: "No I don't see him..." Wydona felt her sisters pain. When the love of her life AND her sister dissappears, all bets were off. Wydona: "I have him..." Yumitoko: "Wydona! Where are you?!" Wydona: "I'm dragging Escuarde's ship back to the station..he's badly damaged but looks fine..." Yumitoko: "Really?! You found him?!" Wydona: "Get out of the graveyard, let's get inside finally." Yumitoko: "Roger. Wydona?" Wydona: "Yes?" Yumitoko: "...thanks.." Wydona: "Don't get all sentimental on me sis." Wydona turned her ship around and watched as the rest of the fighters exited the wreck site. GMG pilot: "It doesn't look like it is going to be an easy return..." Yumitoko: "Oh really? Why?" GMG pilot: "The station docking doors are still shut..."
