[COLOR=darkblue][i]Lupos ran up to Liam's house when he felt Espa's pain...He looked back to see her Aura on fire. He then looked back at the house to see three other Auras burning with hatred. He paused in deep thought for a few moments. Whether or not to confront the demon Kira or team up with Liam and Siren to defeat Sion. He was close enough so it would have been wise to help them out. But they were expereinced, what could he do? But, then, he remembered Siren's place, what happened and he couldn't help but charge into the house and down, into the basement. Lupos had confidence in Espa, that she could rid herself of the demon, if only for a short while. He grabbed both of the Katanas from the fireplace as he passed by the living room and charged down the stairs, unsheathing them both...[/i][/COLOR]

[COLOR=darkblue]Rico: Let's just stick to the Katakana and 0-9 coding... Syth: Are you going to be alright? 'Locke: I'll be fine... [i]Warlock suits back up and walks over towards the airlock of the ship.[/i] Rico: I'll go with you... Syth: No...we need you here to code... Rico: I'm also a field medic. Sala: *shrugs* Flash: Just let him go..he'll probably whip up some complex AI in five minutes anyway. Rico: *looks at Flash* Flash: Just kidding... [i]Rico shook his head and walked over to the lockers where a couple of spare hazard suits where hanging. He took one and slipped it on. Syth threw him an microphone/headphone/camera device.[/i] Syth: Use it with your p2p device. Rico: Okay... [i]He puts it on his head and joins Warlock in the airlock.[/i] Syth: You two ready? Rico/Locke: Yeah.... Sala: Good luck you two..[/COLOR]

OOC: Sorry... ~~~~ [COLOR=darkblue][i]Jessie and Lidan drove up by Tony Leone's auto repair shop...Tony, the actual mechanic and owner got out to greet the two and take a damage estimate on Jessie's Banshee. He was think, short...italian-looking and sounding.[/i] Jessie: Hey... Tony: Whatcha want? Jessie: I need you to work repairs on my car here. Tony: She's beautiful... Jessie: I know...'aint it? Tony: Nah, I was talking about your girl. Lidan: Huh? Tony: ;) Lidan: :rolleyes: [i]Tony opened up the garage while Jessie drove his car inside.[/i] Jessie: Y'know, I'm kinda low on money so is it okay if I do the job myself? Tony: As long as I get to have a word with your girl. Lidan: My name's Lidan! Tony: Whatever...*punches in calculator* It'll be $230 to use my tools and my garage. Jessie: *hands him the money* There.. Tony: And you...Li-dan...come with me... [i]Jessie got to work on his car, careful to look for small crates or boxes of parts. Tony led Lidan into his office...holding her shoulder.[/i] Jessie: *whispers under his breath* That bastard... :demon:[/COLOR]

[COLOR=darkblue]Chole: What's to eat here? [i]Iris handed Chole a large, round, brown ball...[/i] Iris: Coconuts... Chole: Nooooo!!!!!! [i]A bunch of fish jump out onto the beach...[/i] Iris: Haha :D gotcha! All: :tasty:[/COLOR]

[COLOR=darkblue]Rico: It's a lot different from binary coding eh? Sala: 1011001010 Rico: Something like that.. Flash: How much time do we have left until we have to go? Syth: Just take all the time you need...they don't know we're going... Flash: Awright... Rico: You need help? Flash: Just keep programming the AI...I think we're going to need multi-adaptive targeting systems just in case we get overwhelmed. Rico: Hmm...what if we have a constant charging EMP matrix? Flash: Elaborate? [i]Flash listened as he got to work on the EMP emitter's internal systems.[/i] Rico: From that point that you're working on right now...we relay the energy to satellite emitters and maintain a constant loop of energy throughout. Syth: That might be a good idea...once we get the scrap to spare. Sala: Right... Rico: 'Locke, you up to the job? Warlock: Of course...[/COLOR]

[COLOR=darkblue]I think the internet is more like a force of nature created by us...it can be either good, or bad, but it never has a mind of it's own. You can give a program the most complex instructions and still, you're just telling it what to do and when to do it...not why....[/COLOR]

[COLOR=darkblue]Three kids died last night... One of which I barely knew. Other things were in my mind at the time. But at that point, I grew. Little by little, My thoughs become clear, What took their lifes' away? Do I really wanna think about it, Or just let it stay? Such tragedy, such loss. And all I can think about is myself. Though there isn't much I can do to help. I focus my mind on other things as the picture becomes clear. I have a long life to live, to fear. To fear, to worry because of so much doubt my present life presents to me worries and fears I can do without. Now, as I sit here after a long talk. It now occurs to me There's I path I have to walk. To make my own story away from it all. To stay with what I truly beleive in. Until it's my time to fall. I have loved ones that I care deeply about. I don't want to loose them, But to loose them, may be the only way out. I remember the day that we first met. Though others want to seperate us, and it makes me upset. They want to seperate us because of our different beliefs in the above. But wasn't sin created because of that grief. The grief that it caused when we seperated from the ones we love? They'll never let me be with you They'll never let me share All my thoughts and feelings for you. Because they really care. Not about me, but you... leaving me in confusion and in a tearless despair...[/COLOR]

[COLOR=darkblue]Rico: Well, it is oil...seeps into skin, stays there for a while until it moves upwards and you get rid of it later.. Syth: Cut the medical mumbu jumbo... Rico: What? Aren't you a medicine man as well? Syth: Well, yes...but, just cut it out! Rico: Okay, fine... Sala: Since when did you come in? Rico: A couple hours ago...umm, do I know you? Sala: VR did something to you? Rico: I just don't remember you... Flash: Well, you have been away for a couple months. Rico: Yeah, I know...so how's the weapons coming along...gimme your tech lingo.[/COLOR]

[COLOR=darkblue][i]Pi, Chole and Liam, sat on the bleachers and faced Iris and Siren...[/i] Pi: If you think that's cool, check out that tat' on Chole's back... Iris: What...? [i]Chole turned around and took off his vest, revealing the huge bruise in the glowing light.[/i] Iris: That's not funny, Pi!! Chole could've gotten killed. Liam: Luckily, we were able to save him... [i]A bright light caught Rena's eye, it came from the window, streaming dowh through the rays of moonlight shining into the gym. The light seperated Rena's purple glow into blue and red and found their way to Chole's back, tracing the same figure of a dragon. Only this time, the blue energy didn't dissipate to Chole. It stayed with Rena.[/i] Rena: Now that's really weird... Roux: :whoops: Pi: With that said, what should we do now? Siren: Warlock and Flash are still out there...somewhere...it won't be long before we have to put up with them again... Chole: But how? They almost killed us last time if they handn't restrained themselves. Siren: We can't flee, we've come all this way.[/COLOR]

IC: ~~~~~~~` [COLOR=darkblue][i]Chole picked up his giant crossbow and walked up behind Peri...[/i] Chole: I'm just glad that it's not really my triplet in disguise... Alan: Hey... Chole: I'm just kidding...but you were pretending to be an inexperienced swordsman... Alan: That was...umm...hehe.... Viper/Chole: :rolleyes: Peri: Well, we leave tomorrow... Liam: Finally...so we have to stay out here in the cold? Chole: You can stand the cold, right? Liam: Yeah, which is why I want to cool off during the night...I'm sure a certain four of you would want to do that before you catch a heat stroke later on. Chole: In the morning then...lol Peri: I thought you said when the rain stops... Chole: I'm not the leader...besides, I changed my mind. Outlaw: So we set up camp then? In the wet sand... Viper: Of course not...we'll travel for a while until we hit the dry spots again... Peri: That sounds like a good idea. Alan: One question though? Who's gonna carry the new guy? Tenx: :sleep: Peri: Hey... Chole: Just put him on Tidus and all will be well...wait, where is he? All: :therock: [/COLOR]

[COLOR=darkblue]Lupos: Have you tried to tell them her to go away... Espa: I'm afraid that if I try...she might retaliate. Lupos: ...That might be a problem...what does she want with you? Espa: She's stuck to me...since I joined up with her in the other world, she has nowhere better to go besides bother me. Lupos: Is she hearing you now? Espa: Only my dreams... Lupos: She can see me... Espa: You can't touch her though...nether can I. [i]Lupos pulled over to the side of the curb, two miles away from Liam's house...[/i] Lupos: What did you do to yourself anyway? Espa: I used one of my uncles rituals to take myself to an alternate world and I met Kira...I don't know why I did it... Lupos: You don't think that we could use Kira if we needed her? Espa: I really don't know...I don't talk to her that much... Lupos: Coming next morning...after we take care of Sion...you have to talk to him... Espa: Okay.. [i]Lupos turned around and sped back towards Liam's house. He stopped a mile away and got out.[/i] Lupos: Your aura's still feint...if he gets away...he won't be able to see you... Espa: Okay... [i]Lupos got out of the SUV and started running back towards the house...[/i][/COLOR]

[COLOR=darkblue][i]Rico looked out the corner of his eyes as Salalia walked out of the room...[/i] Rico: Do I know her? Syth: C'mon...you haven't been out for that long...she's Salalia...you can't forget her... Rico: :therock: being the only girl on this ship, I presume. Syth: Yes...well then, shall we start programming the gun AI? Rico: You got something besides EMP for this thing? Syth: Yeah...a lot of stuff happened when you were away. [i]Rico and Syth took a seat by the computer terminals and each took 4 consoles and began programming.[/i] Warlock: *sits up* Man, you two are crazy... Rico: Why, 'cause we're on 4 computers at once, writing seperate codes for each console? Warlock: I don't know how you guys do it...I'm good at computers...but eh...this is insane. Syth: We want the guns to be fully operational in two hours...tested and ready. Warlock: Want me to help? Rico: You can debug the progs when we're done. Warlock: ...:rolleyes: Syth: Don't worry, we're being careful not to fudge up... [i]Warlock looked on as the two interfaced with each console, writing large amounts of code for it, almost streaming as fast as the Matrix coding view on the other screens. He interfaced himself to check their work and also to acquire power from the cable to power his cybernetic functions.[/i][/COLOR]

Well, since I liked Mei Rishin's story so much...j/k...I just happened to integrate Hybrid Vigor into the Meteo City Setting...but umm...this is original...it's all stashed away in my comp...lol...and the concepts don't stop there... Teaser...my friend has much more concepts that I really want to scan in...

[COLOR=darkblue][i]Siren, Liam, and Pi all unhooked Chole from the metal table and he sat up...he was shirtless and cold.[/i] Pi: Here... [i]Pi gave him his military grade vest with an assortment of pockets. It wasn't much...but it at least kept him warm. Liam walked over to the door and flicked the switch, opening the shutters of the windows. It revealed the eastern section of Meteo City where they city lights shown...but it was completely deserted, no activity in the highways or buildings... Chole got off the table and shook himself to relax.[/i] Chole: *Sigh* Siren: Are you okay? Chole: Yeah...just a little beat up.. [i]Chole turned to his back to Siren, showing a huge bruise along his back and neck. The outline that showed on the edges of the vest caught her eye...[/i] Siren: Chole...hold on... Chole: What is it? Liam: *walks beside Siren* Huh? Siren: Take off your vest...I want to see something... [i]Chole unzipped the large vest and threw it on the table...he turned around again, showing his back to Siren and Liam.[/i] Liam: No...that can't be... Siren: ... Chole: What is it? Siren: Your bruise... [i]Siren's finger traced the outer shape of it lightly, careful not to hurt him...her trail left a light green glow, intertwined with red and blue...in the shape of a flying dragon and tiger lined up side by side...the dragon glowing red, and the tiger glowing blue.[/i] Liam: Siren, did you do that? Siren: Yeah. Chole: What's going on? Pi: Hold on... [i]Pi took out his digital camera and took a high quality snapshot of Chole's back. Afterwards, he showed it to Chole.[/i] Chole: It hurts though... Pi: They didn't happen to hit you with some kind of hard molding, did they? Chole: They got me with their fists and feet...but, what does this all mean? [i]The three turn to Siren.[/i] Siren: I really don't know...I saw the pattern and...I traced it...just didn't know it would actually do that. Chole: What would? Siren: I don't know...it's all confusing to me right now...it's just never happened before...my touch, that is. Liam: We should get going...there might be hunters on their way here right now. [i]Chole put back on his vest while Liam and Pi took point. They were headed back to the shelter where Iris and the kids were waiting patiently. They walked to the stairway access and took the long route down. If anyone was still controlling those elevators, they sure didn't want to be in it again, going down. Siren stood by Chole's side, wondering what had just happened. Though she was a demi god...she was young and inexperienced compared to Warlock and Flash...but the energy that responded to her trail of glowing green was strange...the red and blue strings seemed to reminice that of what she noticed in the caves of the north...the powers of the cristal.[/i] Chole: Siren, what's wrong... [i]She snapped out of her train of thought and got back to reality.[/i] Siren: I'm alright... [i]They made it out of the building and headed across the park, towards the shelter...[/i] [/COLOR]

[COLOR=darkblue][i]Chole sat by one of the rocks as the rain continued..he was wet, miserable...just in a bad position...[/i] Chole: Ow! [i]He got up and stood still, looking back at the green valleys they were just in...he just stared at it until Peri came up behind him and tackled him down...[/i] Chole: Whoa! Peri: Feeling better? Chole: Can you get off me? Peri: Sorry...just being playful... Chole: It's alright... [i]Peri got off of Chole and helped him up.[/i] Chole: Our horses aren't going crazy, are they? Peri: I don't wanna think about it... Chole: Oh...for the love of... Liam: I'm getting bored... [i]The two turned around to see Liam and Outlaw with their arms crossed...[/i] Peri: Hehe....:D Chole: We really should get going...I want to dry off... Outlaw: How much longer until the spell is over? Peri: About another hour... Chole: Okay, we'll leave when it stops...[/COLOR]

[COLOR=darkblue] [i]Syth and Rico looked out the ship's windows as they prepared for relaunch.[/i] Syth: Heh...so how are the kids? Rico: They're not born yet... Syth: But how long until then? Rico: Soon, really soon... Syth: *sigh* We'll have to find and rescue their pods as well. Rico: When the time comes, yes...lol...it's strange though. Syth: Huh? Rico: I'm not even the father of those kids...even in VR...the world isn't always what you want it to be. Syth: What happened to 'Lis? Rico: I found her by the Looking Glass club...in the alleyway...beaten...bruised up, badly...crying. I took her home and it turned out that she bore a son that night. Syth: That's awful... Rico: Yeah, but what could I do about it...? Syth: I see your point... [i]Rico finished up repairs on the interface of Warlock and woke him up with Dopamine...[/i] Rico: You alright, man? Syth tells me you had some damage to yourself... Warlock: *shrugs* Ow...*grasps his shoulder* Syth: ?? Rico: Hold on... [i]Rico walked up to one of the computer terminals and accessed Warlock's bio signs...[/i] Rico: Well...all of us are over 50% organic...that new piece of metal acting as your joint...your muscles'll have to grasp it and mold with it...kinda like water submerging an object... Warlock: Wonderful...hey...since when did you come on board. Rico: I just started... Flash: It's been a while... Rico: How much more scrap metal do we need? Syth: About 2 more tons...with the cybernetic enhacements on the arms...it'll be done in no time... Rico: Enhancements...I can barely stand my P2P interface... Syth: Good thing you didn't try to pull it out in your sleep.. Flash: Ha...Locke...you feel up to the job again? Warlock: Yeah...jes give me a couple minutes... Syth: Work quickly...we want to be at Zion ASAP... Rico: Any new members that took the red pill while I was gone? Syth: Nope...just the same old crew... Rico: You think it'd be save to send mail? Flash: Gotta use high bit encryption though...what, you wanna contact your "friend?" Rico: Just to tell her I'm alright... Warlock: You know how hard it is to go back into the actual World, right? Rico: Sometimes I just want to link myself back there...but I can't run away from the truth, ever... Syth: I got the link open...you've got less than 5 minutes before our chances of detecton go up 30% Flash: Man, you're just too cautious... [i]Rico interfaced with the computer on deck...he thought for a couple of seconds, located her IP and sent his message...he closed the link, unhooked the interface and got back up...[/i] Warlock: you alright? Rico: I'm fine...you guys need an extra pair of hands to make repairs to the ships?[/COLOR]

[COLOR=darkblue][i]Chole and Iris heard the screams back on the beach...[/i] Iris: We never do get any peace, do we? Chole: Sometimes...like a few seconds ago... Iris: :rolleyes: [i]The two ran back to the beach and saw the group huddled around Liam...[/i] Liam: Um...it hurts? Chole: Whoa... [i]Chole gaped at the huge jellyfish stuck on his leg.[/i] Chole: Y'know, I heard that it hates urine... Iris: Dont' even finish that sentence. Kool: Right now, I think anything would be good for Liam. Liam: :bawl: Rex: But who's gonna pee on him? [i]Chole, Rex, Sere, and Iris run away...[/i] Liam: :therock: Kool: Hey, I'm not gonna do it! Liam: ...:bawl:[/COLOR]

[COLOR=darkblue]Well, if you read the labels on the game...it'll probably say something like "any unauthorized reproduction of this product is strictly prohibited." Therefore, makes any making of roms illegal.[/COLOR]

[COLOR=darkblue][i]Chole was about to climb the pillar before Ky started shouting..[/i] Chole: It's okay, I'll be back in a couple minutes after I find out what's above me. Ky: :confused: Chole: ... [i]Chole jumped back down and splashed on the water. Ky ran over to him and threw him back on the saddle.[/i] Chole: Uh...thanks... Ky: :D Chole: I guess we'll have to find another way up. [i]Chole instructed Ky to head back into the small town and walk around...[/i][/COLOR]

[COLOR=darkblue][i]Chole and Ky arrived at Junon town, greeted by none other than a Shin-Ra soldier...[/i] Chole: Hi... Soldier: *Salutes* [i]Chole and his chocobo pass him and they end up in a small area with only a couple run down houses. The town was nearly deserted, but he could hear a feint sound of activity not too far away. He made a left turn and ended up in front of a small lagoon with a few pillars here and there. He looked up and saw what the pillars supported. A large industrial platform...but he couldn't see what was on the top of it...Curiously, Chole instructed Ky to carry him to one of the pillars that seemed to have an access port just beneath the top.[/i][/COLOR]

[COLOR=darkblue][i]That night, Rico dreamed of his companion left behind and all the good times they've spent with one another...but now he was gone. Called back on Zephyr...He was still by her bedside...connected to the other world...not moving as she wept. Perhaps someday...Rico would bring 'Lis to this side of reality...the horrible truth. ~ He awoke on Zephyr on a cold, padded pod filled with thermal liquid. He looked very much different in his previous state. He didn't enjoy what he turned out to be. Battered, bruised...tattered clothing. He sat up and took a look around. He was definitely inside his quarters with the interface still strapped on him. He removed it and got up. The room was cramped, but all the stuff he left the last time he jumped out into Zion. He dried up and suited up, shaking of all the tenseness of his reawakening. He wondered who else came aboard during his time in VR...He unlatched his door and opened it. A draft came through...they had apparently landed and had the vents open. He wandered towards the bridge to report for duty. If anyone was there and not on a mission...[/i][/COLOR]

[COLOR=darkblue][i]Lupos and Espa heard the whispers of Sion around the mansion...his voice could be heard left and right, speaking an unknown tounge...[/i] Liam: Lupos! Lupos: Did you get him? Liam: He's around here... Espa: *closes her eyes* [i]A shadow materialized from the ceiling above...Sion...[/i] Siren: Lupos! Espa is your main concern...make sure she doesn't get hurt... Lupos: Are you two going to be okay? Liam: We'll be fine...we're older than you are... Lupos: Very funny... [i]Lupos picked up Espa and ran upstairs into Liam's living room where it was well lit. The excess light made Lupos and Espa flinch. They headed for the door, eyes squinting...they passed by Zack sitting still on the couch...[/i] Zack: Where are you two going? Espa: Sion... Lupos: He's here...downstairs...you have to get to safety in case he comes after you... Zack: *tries to get up* I gotta help her! Lupos: You're in no condition... Zack: At least let me wait for her... Lupos: Okay...but just remember...if you go down there...you could get gutted... Zack: ... [i]Lupos turned around and got into the SUV. He set Espa down on the passenger side while Lupos jumped in the driver's side and drove away to a safe distance...[/i] Lupos: Liam, Siren, Zack...I hope you guys are okay...[/COLOR]

[COLOR=darkblue]Well, I hope everyone stays active in this one...and...umm...I wanted to change my Awaken date...to 9.07.2174...my actual birth month and day...just so I don't have to look back as often...[/COLOR]

I stand up straight, confront fate, and swallow my hate. Let it all seep deep down inside of me, collecting, gathering, Until it bursts out into a voluptuous series of cursing Where my words bring em down to their knees, Then I realize what power I have inside of me, All the deeds I could have settled in the past And make my soul free right there and then, I realize that all this time I spent quiet, I could have changed lives with the blink of an eye. I possessed all this energy that could be Harnessed by me for my benefit and put unfinished business to rest. With all these new verbs Running through my head the words just slip out, One by one, raw emotions spewing out my sense of devotion. Cause that one night changed my life. It took away my inner barriers with the Cause. I wasn?t gonna waste my time doing nothing But play games by saying the same old one liners That?ll never get the fires burning inside of me. So I?m right there with her face to face engaged in a race That?ll lay waste to both of our minds. I say my feelings straight sure. A psychological tour de force each leaving no remorse For one another to concur.

[COLOR=darkblue]Chole: We've been in the ocean? Iris: I know...I know... [i]They stood motionless under the forest, covered by the green leaves. It wasn't much...but the ambience was just right for them. Chole felt really good as her lips touched his...he couldn't help but returning it...[/i] Chole: Nice?[/COLOR]
