[Gage] <BRIEF> Last time, we arrived at FoH base and split up. Dragon, Cryz, BS , Dusk on one side, Myself, Hazard, Myriad, and Click on the other. Dragon's team ran into Eve and Rhythm who managed to escape the base, but they were followed by Adam, Eve's Weapon X Counter-part.

[Gage] In the front, my team is trapped between a hallway full of guards and Sentinels attacking from the outside. Mrs. Smith has yet to be found and Rhythm is unconscious. Any q's?

[Gage] ******SIM START*******

[Gage] <Scene> Team 1 faces Adam, Team 2 faces the guards and the sentinels.

<Click> ::fires his two stolen guns at the sentinal that just landed::

[Gage] ::from the front of the hallway:: Inside the base, Click!

<Hazard> ::stands in the hallway, looking at the guards:: What are they so uptight about? I knocked!

<Myriad> ::looks at the guards, and tries to make them mad at the sentinels::

[Gage] <Guard> Damn muties! Die! ::fires a machine-gun at the Haz::

<Click> ::hands onto the guns and follows orders and runs to the base doors::

[Gage] ACTION> A FEW OF THE GUARDS RUN PAST THE GROUP AND FIRE AT THE SENTINELS< BUT MORE ATTACK THE GROUP

<Hazard> ::raises an eyebrows at the guard bouncing the bullets off of him:: ...Are you stupid?

[Gage] <Guard> ::eyes wide:: DiE!!! ::runs at Haz, and pounds at him::

<Myriad> ::quickly looks around and runs for cover::

<Hazard> ::dashes down the hall towards the guards, moving to charge right past them::

[Gage] ::blasts at the guards sending a few back::

<Myriad> ::tries to make a few of the guards view them as gods:: <<heh couldn't resist>>

<Click> ::tosses the two guns to the ground and bangs a guards head off the wall::

[Gage] <Adam> ::targets Cryz:: I shall finish you off one by one if I must. ::points:: You first. ::fires a rocket at Cryz::

[Gage] ACTION> THE HATE THE GUARDS FEEL IS TO STRONG FOR MYRIAD.

<Cryz> ::shifts to crystal then tries to dodge the rocket::

<Hazard> ::shoves a couple guards out of his way and keeps moving down the hall:: You guys catch up once you're done!

[Gage] ::trying to process everything that's going on:: +com+ Dragon, you and Cryz protect Eve and her friend…get her back to the chopper. We;re going in.

<Myriad> ::angry yell, feeling the effects of their hate, and tries to re-direct it towards the sentinels::

[Gage] ::follows Haz:: I'm assuming you brought some sort of explosive devices.

[Gage] Guard1> ::runs outside, firing at the sentinel, confusing it::

<Myriad> ::runs after the others::

<Dragon> +com+ Will do ::scans for incoming fire, then starts helping Eve and her friend toward the chopper a bit at a time::

[Gage] ::punches a guard, and blasts at another one from far away:: (( Where is she?))

<Hazard> Ain't that the drunken irishman's thing? ::runs down the hall, just guessing which ways to turn::

<Click> ::continues going forward, ignoring the guards shots, throwing them against the wall when they get too close::

<Myriad> ::follows in the guy's wake, with an angry face, throwing fear at whatever guards get in the way::

[Gage] Get in there, find some, and plant them wherever possible. Myriad, Click…with me. ::blasts a guard and moves forward into the base::

[Gage] ::runs down an opposite hallway:: Meet on the roof when you're done!

<Dragon> ::quick glance in Cryz's direction:: {{Are you alright?}}

[Gage] Adam> ::follows Dragon:: You cannot escape me. ::blasts Dragon, sending her flying away from Eve, who collapses::

<Click> ::turns Towards Gage: and we are going where?

<Click> ::runs after::

<Cryz> ::gets up:: ((Yeah)) ::charges at Adam's side, forming spikes on his body::

<Hazard> ...Rig a building to explode and then stand on its roof? Niiice.. ::looks around for a guard::

[Gage] To find Mrs. Smith! ::keep running, leaving all the guard behind::

<Dragon> ::hits the ground, cursing, and winces:: ((damnit... my wrist..)) ::scrambles back to her feet, raising one arm and channeling flame out along her fingertips toward Adam, trying to draw him away from Eve::

[Gage] <Adam> ::tries to dodge Cryz, but gets hit slightly, sending him off course, and into a tree:: Arg! ::hides from Dragon's flame::

<Myriad> ::continues to run after gage and click::

<Click> oh yea, well, finding a computer to search the facility might prove useful

<Hazard> ::picks up a still semi conscious guard by the collar:: Which way's the armory here pal?

[Gage] ::turns around and looks at Click:: That's...what I was doing. ((sure it was, Abe, sure...))

<Dragon> ::eyes narrow, and she focuses on a point within the tree:: ((if i can hit the flashpoint of pitch... damn thing should explode nicely..))

<Click> oh, alright, would it be better if we split up to search the area?

[Gage] <Guard> ::almost in tears:: I - I- ::points down a hall:: I want my mommy!!!!

<Myriad> <<lol>>

<Dragon> <<heh heh>>

<Hazard> ...::drops him and walks down the hallway::

[Gage] ACTION> THE TREE EXPLODES, ADAM FLYING OUT THROUGH THE FLAMES PUMMELING DRAGON.

<Myriad> ::voice dripping with venom:: would you guys make up your minds already??

[Gage] No, Click. We stay together. ((Can't risk losing them. They're still inexperienced.)) Here! ::finds a computer terminal::

[Gage] ::looks at Myriad:: ((She's losing it))

<Click> alright, your more experienced at computers, do your work

<Dragon> ((whoops..)) ::knocked backwards, groans and squeezes her eyes shut for a moment, drawing the heat from the flames back in for energy::

<Hazard> ::slams his foot into the door he suspects is the armory::

<Cryz> ::forms his fists into spikes then charges at Adam again:: Get away from her!

[Gage] ACTION> HAZARD IS, IN FACT, IN THE LADIES BATHROOM. THE ARMORY BEING THE NEXT DOOR DOWN. <<sorry, heh>>

<Myriad> ::watches for guards::

<Hazard> ::blinks, poking his head into the room:: Wow.. it's.. actually nice in here. ::shakes his head, trying the next door and looking inside::

<Click> ::walks to the back of the room and takes a look around for something he would find useful::

[Gage] Adam> ::gets smacked away, but grabs Cryz, flips, and pins him down:: Time to make you into jewelry, boy. ::hand extends, forming a large, blunt hammer and smashing it at Cryz::

[Gage] ::examines the computer:: Um...from what I can tell, which ins't very much, she's... ::points:: this way! :;starts running again:: C'Mon!

<Click> ::takes a look at the blue prints then follows::

<Myriad> ::runs after::

[Gage] ACTION> HAZARD FINDS A LARGE CRATE OF PLASTIC EXPLOSIVES.

[Gage] <<sp...plastique?>>

[Gage] <<you find a remote detonater as well, heh>>

<Cryz> oof ::flies a few feet in the air and gets knocked on his ass, skidding::

<Hazard> ::slips the detonator in his pocket, lifting up the crate and walking out of the armory:: Here we go..

[Gage] ACTION> GAGE, CLICK, AND MYRIAD ARRIVE AT A HALLWAY BRIMMING WITH GUARDS.

[Gage] ::stops short of the hallway:: Okay...Myriad, i need your help.

<Myriad> ::snarls at seeing the guards and throws fear at them::

<Dragon> ::pushes herself back to her feet, glancing in the direction of the unconscious Eve & co:: Feel free to wake up anytime now... no, really.... ::takes a shot with a fireball at Adam::

<Myriad> in what?

[Gage] <Guard> ::Not knowing what to fear, just shivers and stands still::

<Click> ::looks around:: need to knock em down

[Gage] ::looks at the two:: Click, moke you're tech-tech-tecoorgan...uhm, you're robotic body as scary as possible. Myriad, project as much fear as possible, and I'll blast their asses as much as possible. Got it? on my count.

<Hazard> ::walks down the halls, randomly dropping explosives and tossing them into rooms, singing to himself:: I have a lovely buncha coconuts.. ::drops another explosive::

<Click> ::blinks:: i can do that?

<Cryz> ::gets up, wincing then ignores the cracks in his chest and pulls the crystal together, heading towards Adam again::

[Gage] ACTION> HAZARD FINDS HIMSELF IN FRONT OF AT LEAST 20 ARMORED GUARDS

[Gage] Adam> ::dodge their attacks, and heads back down at Eve and Rhythm:: Time to go home.

[Gage] ::looks at Click:: Sure. ::holds up his arms and acts real scary:: Like this!

<Hazard> ::looks up at the guards:: Can't have my coconuts.

<Dragon> ::sends another barrage of flame between Adam and his targets, eyes narrowed in concentration::

[Gage] Guard> Blast him! ::fires at Haz with his blaster rifle, as do the other guards::

<Click> thats spose to be scary? ::shrugs and steps into the hallway infront of everyone::

<Myriad> ::waits impatiently, hands on hips::

<Myriad> ::throws fear at the guards, as if they know they're gonna die::

[Gage] ACTION WHATEVER GUARDS DON"T GET KNOCKED DOWN< RUN AWAY IN FEAR OF CLICK.

<Click> ::blinks halfway to the guards then stops and scratches his head:: im not that scarey, am i?

<Myriad> no. ::follows gage::

<Click> oh, good ::goes after gage, hitting his head off a light on the roof::

[Gage] Adam> ::gets interupted by Dragon:: You die NOW, b*itch! ::flies at her, all weapons ready to kill::

<Hazard> Hey! ::steps back:: I'm holding a crate of explosives here! Damnit! Here! ::tosses the crate over to them, holding onto the detonator:: Now.. do we want to rethink this?

[Gage] ACTION> THE GUARDS SCATTER

<Dragon> ::mutters:: bite me... ::eyes flare orange as she forms a sphere of intensely hot fire around herself:: ((gun.. would be nice. tk... would be nice. flying the hell out of here... would be nice..))

<Cryz> ::dives at Adam, growling:: Leave her the f*ck alone!

<Click> guess ill have to carry her, wont i?

<Hazard> ::tosses away most of the explosives, holding to a couple disarmed ones and heading up to the roof::

[Gage] Adam> ::thrown off by the heat and hit at his feet by Cryz:: erg!! ::kicks widly, then takes off:: I have new orders. Keep the b*itch. ::flies off into the night::

<Myriad> ::watches for more guards, wishing the guys would hurry up::

[Gage] Yes, carry her...::heads for the room::

[Gage] <<roof>>

<Cryz> ::gets up and grits his teeth, watching Adam, eyes narrowed::

<Click> ::goes over to pick up Mrs. Smith, snapping all the restrainsts if any, then following after Gage::

<Hazard> ::jogs over to the front edge of the roof, checking if that sentinel is still up and running::

[Gage] +com+ Dragon, get the chopper up to the roof, pronto! ::finds a ladder to the roof::

<Myriad> ::runs after the guys::

[Gage] ACTION> IT IS

<Dragon> ::flame dissipates and she sighs in relief, hurrying back to Eve and Rhythm:: Can you carry them the rest of the way? +com+ We're on our way

<Hazard> ::takes a running jump off the roof, aiming to land on the sentinel's back::

[Gage] ::climbs up the ladder and onto the roof, seeing Haz:: Hello, son. Finish you're chores? ::smiles::

[Gage] ::quirks his head:: Um, is that a yes?

<Click> ::climbs up the ladder after Gage, carefully so not to drop Mrs. Smith::

<Myriad> ::quickly climbs up after them::

[Gage] <Mr. Smith>::sees Dragon and Cryz approaching:: We going somewhere? ::starts the helicopter engine::

<Cryz> ::smooths his crystal then carefully picks up Eve and Rhythm::

[Gage] <Sentinel> ::tries to swat at Haz:: Decist!

<Dragon> ::shouting over the noise of the engine and blades:: Roof. ::climbs into the chopper, wincing when she tries to use her left hand::

<Hazard> Hell no! ::grabs the two explosives his still has, arming them and trying to throw them onto the sentinel before being swatted::

<Cryz> ::sets Eve and Rhythm in the chopper then reverts to flesh and gets in:: Who's flying this thing?

[Gage] ::looks at Cryz:: Then maybe you should drive. ::points:: at th pilot's seat and get up::

[Gage] ACTION> THE EXPLOSIVES MAKE THEIR MARK, BUT THE SENTINEL TOSSES HAZ BACK TOWARDS THE ROOF

[Gage] <<oops, sorry Mr.Smith made that last comment>>

<Dragon> ::takes the opportunity to quickly check Eve and Rhythm's pulses to make sure they're fine, aside from being unconscious::

<Myriad> ::taps her foot, arms crossed::

<Hazard> ::grabs the ledge as he slams into the building, pulling himself back up to the roof::

<Cryz> ::nods:: Alright... ::climbs into the pilot's seat, trying to ignore how his regular clothes are in tatters, puts on the headset::

[Gage] ACTION> EVE SEEMS TO BE IN SOME DISTRESS, BUT RHYTHM IS OKAY.

[Gage] ::waits for the chopper:: C'mon, c'mon, c'mon.

<Dragon> ::frowns slightly, closing her eyes and going into a low psionic trance to examine Eve's mind a little closer::

[Gage] ACTION> DRAGON FINDS THAT EVE IS IN GREAT PAIN DUE TO LOSS OF CONTROL OVER HER ARMOR

<Hazard> ::stands up, glancing at the sentinel and grabbing for his detonator:: Countdown time.. Three..

<Cryz> Alright, here we go... ::flips a few switches then pulls on the stick and lifts off::

[Gage] ::ooks at haz:: Maybe we wait for the chopper? ::sweats a little::

<Dragon> ::braces herself, then attempts to dull the pain within Eve's mind by buffering with her own::

<Hazard> ::looks at Gage and motions to the still operating sentinel:: heh.. Two..

<Click> ::looks to haz:: your destruction happy, arnt you?

<Myriad> ::flatly:: i wouldn't be surprised.

[Gage] ::shakes his head, notices the heilopter and waves his arms:: ((Thank god)) ::looks at Mrs. Smith::

[Gage] ::looks at the group:: Now is NOT the time. Just chill, we're almost out of here.

<Myriad> ::gritting her teeth a bit:: easy for you to say..

<Cryz> ::flies the chopper to the roof then makes it hover 6" above the roof so they can take off quicker::

[Gage] ACTION> DUE TO AN EVACUATION NOTICE< MOST OF THE FACILTIES PEOPLE ARE RUNNING FROM THE BUILDING> ALSO, A SMALL JET TAKES OFF AND SPEEDS AWAY.

<Hazard> ::sees the people getting away, and the jet:: Aww hell no! ::hits the detonator switch:: Not all of 'em are getting away!

[Gage] ::hops in the chopper and helps pull Mrs. Smith in, who seems to be waking up::

<Myriad> ::climbs into the helicopter::

[Gage] ACTION> THE SENTINEL EXPLODES, INJURING A FEW PEOPLE WHO SCAMPER AWAY.

<Click> ::holds Mrs. Smith up to Gage to pull in, then climbs in quickly after Myriad::

<Hazard> ::jumps into the chopper, pulling himself in:: Explosion time. ::tosses the detonator away::

<Dragon> ::kneeling on the floor of the 'copter, hands on Eve's temples, more or less oblivious to the others::

[Gage] ::shakes head at Haz:: Maybe agression therapy when we get home?

<Cryz> ::lifts off then flies away:: Where're we going?

[Gage] Mr. Smith> To a Hospital. ::gives Cryz coordinates::

[Gage] ACTION> THE HELICOPTER IS SAFELY AWAY.

<Hazard> Well I'm sorry but waiting for our ride right next to a big sentinel doesn't appeal to me.

[Gage] Now, Hazard. ::motions to the base::

[Gage] ACTION> MRS. SMITH WAKES UP.

[Gage] ACTION> THE BASE EXPLODES.

[Gage] <Mrs.Smith> ::dazed, and shaking her head:: Adam…where's Adam?

<Cryz> ::changes direction and heads to the hospital::

<Myriad> ::eyelids flicker, trying to block out the emotions of the dead and dying::

[Gage] ::looks at Dragon and Cryz:: Who's Adam?

<Hazard> Do we get to stay in a hotel now? ::puts his feet up in an empty seat::

<Dragon> ::still trancing, doesn't respond::

<Cryz> ::glances back:: Adam's like her ::nods to Eve:: ..but a guy.

[Gage] <Mrs.Smith> The Doctor…he sent one last order to him…he's going to Washington…to kill the president. ::falls unconscious again::

[Gage] ::looks at the team:: Oh sh*t.

[Gage] ****EPILOGUE******

[Gage] <Scene> Aboard an escape jet, the Doctor sits with the leader of the FoH, who sits masked.

[Gage] <Doctor> Well, that was abominable. ::holding a computer-memory unit::

[Gage] <FoH-Leader> Oh, shut up. If you hadn't sent the Sentinels to Maine, those X-Freaks would have never come. ::glares, arms crossed::

[Gage] <Doctor> ::scoffs:: Indeed? Did I hire that Agent Smith? ::shakes his head:: Enough of this. I speak for the whole program when I say that this alliance is terminated. ((Should have never trusted the blasted hate group))

[Gage] <Foh-Leader> Fine. Then we part ways here. ::opens the jet door and grabs the doctor::

[Gage] <Doctor> What are you doing!? Stop ::get pulled near the door::

[Gage] <FoH-Leader> Like you said, Doctor. This alliance is ::pushes the doctor out of the door:: TERMINATED! ::shuts the door and sits back laughing to himself::

[Gage] <Pilot> ::smiling:: Now, was that necessary, sir?

[Gage] <FoH-Leader> He was useless to me. ::picks up the Doctor's computer memory unit:: Besides. I have what I want from him. ::holds up the unit to the light:: What was it called? Oh yes, Sophia.

[Gage] ****END SIM*****
