Serah couldn't see it, but Nevo smiled two. That was the first time he'd smiled, in a long, long time. "My names Nevo. Again, sorry." He rubbed the back of his neck. "Er... yeah. I'm glad I got that off my chest. I hate ignoring people."

Daud kept watching the little show going on between the male and Female Knight. just kiss already. Was all he could think before a blip appeared on his simple HUD. "Seems a friend has arrived." Before Deadman could turn around a human figure standing in Full level three Skely Gear (Scary Skelly) greeted them with a nod. The person was holding a Nightblade as well as what looked like a normal firearm. On his back was a custom made Stealth unit, stock made for all units of the Watch. On his chest was the Crest of the Guild he hailed from. On his back was a good sized chunch of Dark Matter for what, he would not say nor could say.

Standing and Saluting the man looked at Desua as well as Deadman. "My lady, we have set ourselfs up as requested. We will be the Security you wanted. Their are a total of ten of us scouting, My Lady Desua you probably knew this. We are sorry for being so sneeky about our actions around you, but that is the way we are trained."

I notice a whole bunch of gremlins and wardens running through the city to the heavily secure base. I look carefully at the army and there were 12 snipers I think but no Ghostmane Stalkers. I also see tons of Wardens and a person holding a Blitz needle and I thought "He must be the leader". I watch them stop in front of the base and see the leader go inside the base. I decided to try a new attack by using 8 plasma bolts and tossed a swarm seed in the middle (I took 3 with me before I left the unknown passage). I started to lose balance because of the power wasn't equal, 3 orbs filled up to max power and I regained my balance. The other orbs filled up to max power and I tossed it into the middle of the army. As it was just about to touch the ground, the orbs closed into each other giving the swarm seed even more power and hurting all the enemies by a shockwave which was dark from the swarm seed. The seed landed on the ground and started to spread like wildfire, slowly corrupting the Darkfang Thwackers. I got spotted and run away from the wardens and snipers even though 1 of the snipers managed to hit me.

((OOC: CLEARLY NO-ONE CARES ABOUT MY HELP AND DISASTER I DID!))

As the feuding began, I cloaked myself, moving back a few paces. Taking a brief moment to take in the battle, I could see that for the most part there were gremlins. My elemental weaponry and weaving abilities would be rather insufficient and inefficient, so I needed to engage them in a different manner. Once I felt that I wasn't within any immediate threats, I uncloaked and focused on the Gremlins hammers, with a single thought, I wrenched three of them defenseless, and hurled the hammers back at them, knocking them out. I repeated the process, using telekinesis to throw the gremlins own weapons back at them. Talk about a taste of your own medicine, I thought smirking.

((OOC: this is litterally just a "catching up" post, I'll post actual progress later.))

After getting my gear back, a security alarm soon went off. The rangers went to find the source, and came back and told desna what's going on. When all the rangers came back, Desna said "we're going after them. Also, we're under attack, so watch out." Really, this soon?

A man (I probably should get around to learning some names...) stepped up and offered to bring us to some place called "the watch". Desna stared at him, but then allowed us a choice between staying and going with him. She also mentioned his name, Deadman. that's a strange name.

I eventually decided to go with deadman, as I'm not exactly the most useful in a fight.

After short a while, the door exploded, someone came out and chatted with desna. He used a nice "old freind"-ish tone of voice and words, but they didn't seem to be on completely stable grounds. The rangers started fighting the army of gremlins outside, and deadman took everyone who hadn't volenteered to go out to the watch thing.

Taking a moment to recuperate, a strange sight grabbed my attention. One of the Knights that had been in the games, was frantically running from the battle, a recon in his arms. I frowned for a second, was that guy crazy? He was drawing attention like an oasis in the desert! Exactly as I suspected, some Gremlins caught wind of his vulnerability and began aiming for him. I threw out my arms and with tremendous force formed a shielding electromagnetic field around them. To my horror, however, a sniper bullet struck the Knight, who nearly dropped the fallen recon to the ground. Others were attempting to assist them, but the opposing forces were relentless. Spreading my legs apart a bit to get a better stance I tested my limits.

Using telekinesis, I lifted them up, and began to move them towards me. Almost instantly, I lost the hold on the shielding I was giving them. A few bullets stricking the ground near them made me double my efforts. Putting my maximum effort into it, I managed to bring them to me, my head however, was like a raging storm. Worried about the Knight after having taken a bullet, I quickly looked at him throwing furtive glances up, worried that a bullet would strike me next. Luckily, it seemed that the reconstruction and other Knights had closed them back off. After a quick look, it seemed as if the Knight was unharmed. My electromagnetic field must have slowed the bullet enough that it hit hard, but didn't pierce. Once again, despite my nearly unbearable headache, I cloaked all three of us.

"Use the Recon Cloak." I mumbled quickly. With that, I helped them retreat to a safer place.

(OOC: Sorry if I sort of power played a bit there... Also, Serah is uncloaked, so I can see her, right?)

I started to rush back to the prison and talked to the swarm agent and said "Do you want increased power to break out?", the agent said "Yes but, who are you?". I tell him "My name's Antasma and I am here to give you more power from this orb" I show him a orb which is in my cloak pocket and it looked empty. The agent noticed it and said "Isn't there supposed to be something in there?" but I said "Oh, it LOOKS empty but it's actually full, the swarm technology with these orbs are still weird". The agent said "Pass it up to me and how do I use it?", I toss it up to the swarm agent and said "Keep it by yourself for 5 minutes and then toss it back to me before you go to sleep, when you wake back up, you will feel stronger and much better." After 5 minutes the swarm agent tosses it back to Antasma and said "Thanks Antasma, I should be out of here in no-time and" I said "All the swarm needs to stick together" and I walk away from the prison snickering "I can't believe he fell for it, I now have that swarm agents power". I then see 1 knight running through the desert and seemed to be holding another knight who seemed to be hurt, I decided to slowly chase after them and they reach the town. I started to change my plans and just walk casually and I then heard someone and I turned around to where I heard the snickering...

1st person mode:

'Huh. Last time I saw Serah, or whatever her name was, she beat the Finder one on one. Didn't know she flirted that harcore.' I laughed at the guy charging at me. 'What, you scared for her? Aww... The experiment has found some love.'

He charged me, swinging his sword, leaving a small cut on my face. Don't get reckless and arrogant, dude. I chided myself, and materialized my Blitz Needles. Both of them. I swing them to bear, and fired. It didn't kill the guy, but it did make him fly back to his girlfriend.

Suddenly, there was a moment of nausea, then Serris' voice floated into my mind, "I'm calling the Finder back. But for now, I'll need to take control"

"God, no!" I yelled, not noticing I was yelling out loud, which made people think I was crazier. (Or more crazy than I was.)

"God, yes. Taking control... now." I could feel Serris' mind control begun gripping my mind, and I used my last moments of consciousness to yell at Densa, "Serris is taking over! Run, while you still can!" I moaned, then fell to the ground. I vomited, and thus, I become Operator, minion of Serris, the 'other' form of Serris.

3rd person

"Mwahaha! I haven't been in action for YEARS!" Serris/Operator yelled, floating into the air, discarding his Blitz Needles. He fired dark energy from his hands, blasting Recon Rangers and Operator's forces alike. Not long after, the ground was full of craters. Operator's minions dead, and the Recon Rangers wounded, and dazed. Serris/Operator floated right in front of Desna, gloating, "Well well well..... if it isn't Operator's love interest..... I could see why he likes you." Serris then glanced at her chest, grinning. "Too bad you're not going to stay for long." He raised his hand, and Desna flew through the air, crashing into a wall. "Now... it's time for me to retire." Serris/Operator seemed to hover in a second a bit more, before dropping. Operator vomited again.

Daud looked around as the calm plains of the waste lands moved under them. It was a sight he was use to seeing alot from his youth, but as he grew older this became more and more of a nightmare then a dream. "ETA thirty minutes." The Helms-men said as Daud looked forwards, it had been about three years since he saw his Leader because of what happened.

Thinking now, I wonder if leaving all those knights behind was such a good idea. Ya sure they can fight but with their luck they will get blasted by some kinda supernatural force... Deadman put the though behind him as he turned and looked at the medic who was starting to put her tools away. "Take a look at my arm will you. I had to dislocated earlier, just want to make sure its alright." Sitting down a flash of purple came from him as his helm and upper armor dissappeared showing of his Ghastly white hair and upper torso. He was well built, of course all Knights who went through the Wardens Training were, but along his back was a scar from what looked like a Trojan's blade. Along with some other less then nice looking scars. His face was dead set looking forwards as the medic went to work looking over his shoulder. It was swollen but nothing majorly wrong.

One of the Regulators lowered his gun and looked around, their was a small ruined building he looked at before a red flare was shot upwords. "Alright we still have a small outpost here. Do we need to stop?" No one responded to his question thus he turned around and dropped off a crate from the side of the speeder. Their were three more just like the one he kicked off the side but as the one that fell down hit the ground part of the top cracked open as Dark matter Shards were scattered across the ground. "They got what they needed for a few days. We need to dive more often for the energy sources."

Daud looked back at the people he had rescued. "You have been quiet. Not going to say something? Also don't worry about them, we sent a little 'care package' for them." Daud gave a small smile. "We don't leave friends in the lurch."

With in minutes of Daud saying so a speeder came by with a crate that was dropped off near the entrance/exit of the base. Inside was a small crate with some Sparks of Life, Ammo, as well as some minor medical supplies. One of the Regulators had jumped down and ran over to Desna. Rather then acting he just watched the events unfold, saying nothing but being a silent recorder of time.

((OoC: Just fixing this post))

As I am looking where the snickering was and then explosions go off in the desert and I rush back to see what was happening. I see the leader of the army attacking everyone including his own army. I looked carefully and saw the leader shooting dark energy. He then falls on the ground and started to vomit. I then see Desna starting to shoot a Sentenza at the person who shoot the dark energy and it seemed that person was going to die. I then rushed back to the prison to see if I can break Lucario out and then kill him when he is not looking.

Operator vomited, stood up, and a flurry of bullets pelted him. He was knocked to the floor, and he vomited again, this time with blood.
"No!" He tried to yell, when another clip of bullets slammed into his right arm, severing the thumb. He screamed, then got to his feet. He could see Desna shooting, her face invisible in her helmet.
"Desna! Please!" He pleaded as more bullets begun to hit him, then a gigantic dark phoenix launched him into the air. "Please....." He muttered, feeling his chest. It was heavily injured, even with the armour on.
"Desna.... please... I want to be good. It was all Serris!" He cried, when a bullet found it's way into his eyeball. He was launched backwards, the bullet piercing his eye. He fell with a thump. He blinked with his good eye a few times, fumbled with his datapad, pressed 'record' then told his whole story.

Why he had killed so many people.

Why he had worked for Serris.

Why he had tried to kill everyone.

Why he was (maybe) crazy.

After a while of that, he stopped the recording, labelled it 'Last words,' and let it drop from his fingers, and into his pool of blood. He no longer felt the pain in his eye.

He was dead.

I wait until Lucario wakes up and when he looked outside and saw me, I launched a charged plasma bolt at the bars which broke the bars and Lucario started to squeeze his way out. I run away from the prison because the alarms went off and no wardens noticed me so I was still safe. I also lost Lucario and started to run around to find him but he seemed to have vanished. I looked back at the recon base and saw the leader of the gremlin army and who shot the dark power out was now dead.

I started grumbling to myself "How did I lose Lucario?" I then see a figure walking through the desert and it seems to be walking to Desna's base. I look carefully and noticed it was Lucario who seemed to have better equipment but a limb in his leg. I start laughing but he then gets knocked out by Desna and I screeched at them saying "Give me Lucario now or I will destroy your base and kill you all!".

((OOC: Thin, possible battle scene? and I sorted out some problems with other posts.))

Daud looked across the scorched ground. It had been a good while since he had word with anyone and yet it felt wrong to him just to let thing sit. Shaking his head alittle Daud kept watch. Wonder if they survived...knowing Desna they did but at the rate everything else seemed some one more then likely got hurt...no one is immortal and even a Knight must fall. Might as well make a call and see of some one survived. Reach up Daud placed a finger on the side of his helm. After a moment he was one the same comm. channel as before trying to get ahold of Desna. "Did anyone make it? Also, how has the battle gone sofar. The Knights in my care are well safe with in the walls of the Watch."

As he spoke the Knights were went on the transport were rushed onto a platform that took them down into a massive open area, not in the clockworks but just bellow. Transports, personal 'transports', even a ship that was under content repair was on this hardtop. Of course above this was a system of cat walks linking to a building that seemed to be suspended in air. Their the Leader of the watch sat, day after day, leading his forces around the clock and waiting to see the Knights who just arrived.

((OoC: Thin, their is a Regulator lurking around Desna. More or less with some medical supplies via the crate drop he fell with xD))

Bending him self around a bit he smiled unseen. "Well its good to hear you all made it out. This is Desna, I presume. What should we do? We are here waiting for orders as well as treading the Knights under my care. We have a ETA of one hour inbetween here and their. Should be sooner of the techs. at the lab finish working on the engiens of the Transports in time. This is Daud, Warden Deadman." He said as he looked across the field. "Also their was a care package left beind with one of the Regulators. He is more then likely lurking around watching everything from the back round."

---

Looking around the Regulator was ordered to hold his ground and keep the crate safe will other wise told so. The supplies in side were going to be useful for something in the future but as per regulations, he was told not what was inside just to keep it closed till other wise told so. With a huff the Regulator uncloaked an removed his helm. Waiting for something to happen he pulled out what could only be described as a smoking imploment and lit up while he waited.

((OoC: Its just a simple smoking pipe, non-narcotic.))

((OoC: You are right Dmatter))

Walking across the platform a man in what looked to be Dread Skelly armor walked up to them. The dark aura slowly winding off his body, on his hip rode a weapon as much as a demon as its name. "This is my home. As for this place, this is a staging area were we prep ships and transports. Also knowing as Sight 0. As you see most of our workmen here send their time trying to repair or fix the damages the desert out their causes our air craft." Turning to look at Dmatter the man looked him directly into the eye, his burning red. "I am Skotino, and this is the Darkwatch." He then took a cursearey glance across the Transport. "Shame...Ah well, come along this is why you came here to rest up and get ready." Turning and walking away Skotino kept his hand to his side as he watched the men work. Of on the other side of the platform were some people doing phyical training with weapons and armor of all kinds. Broken down into decisions of the basic armor types. The only ones no present were the Shadow Guardians. "Its been nearly two life times since some one came here that was not with the Watch. Most our recruits can't even make the long walk with out needing help. But Daud said you were not recruits and the Order is after you, so your safe here. They have not found us and unless they were to be brought here directly they will never find us. Its from here that Section 37 takes in the many requests from the Order and or Knights of the Order to carry out the...less then desirable tasks. And one the side some personal thinks." The man was walking them up the cat walks now, from here they could have seen how massive the platform below was. And of course right in the middle of it wall above the work area was the mans office. "Come we have much to talk about."

((OoC: I will wait on Thin for Deadmans responce. turns out he might be more invested into Desna then though out en?))

I told the people in the base to give me Lucario and they agreed. They pushed him to me and I picked him up. I start walking to a nearby forest so no-one can see me killing him. I throw him to a big tree and start to talk. "Lucario, the reason why I broke you out of the prison was to kill you. The only reason why I am killing you and not leaving you as the swarm because you have Curse which is very fatal to the swarm." He sees Lucario trying to stand and I launched a weak plasma bolt at Lucario to weaken him. "Anyways, the swarm gave you the self-curse because they knew you were to weak and would die to easy. I have destroyed and killed almost all the curse dealing items and enemies. I just need to kill a few remaining black kats, the caravons they spawn, 1 Gran Faust and you Lucario. And now... to finish you off!".

"Sit? Heh, That's all I can do." Nevo replied, with a faint smile.
"But seriously, I can do that." Nevo turned his head a bit, to look at Serah. She hadn't said much, besides "Start over" but that didn't matter. Those two words made a big difference, to know that she's alive.
"Do you think Serah will be okay? That blade went pretty deep." Nevo asked, trying not to sound worried.

Deadman gave a spoken nod as he quickly turned to a dead channel. After restating his open channel line a voice spoke up asking for the reason of his call. “I request a transport to the front of Sight 1, 27.4 meters from the entrance. Also, sendlight medical supplies….Also send some food. M.R.E’s as well as a spot of hard water.” Daud chuckled to himself as he went over in his mind what the hard water was for. Might as well drink something to cut the edge off the pain. As long as they remember it’s for numbing pain. Of course might as well be a little sly. Some humility of his showing for a moment as he walked forwards. Crossing his arms he waited as he looked back, it would take a moment for things to get moving but once they were moving he would be to Desna’s last known location in less than an hour.

The PA in the base rang out with a harsh ring as each member of the Watch in the Transport area stopped and looked up. “Code Seven, Light Medical supplies and food are to be loaded on a Class Four transport with Three Regulators. Section 37 has approved of the following, Crate labeled Ration M.R.E, Heavy Water as well as Port. This will be taken 27.4 Meters from Gate Three. Number 2 will be directing the operation their after.” After a moment the PA spoke once more. “Skotino, Section 37 wishs to speak to you on line ten. The inquiry was on the rival of Transport 738.”

Skotino reached up and touched the top of his head. Since the Armor he had on limited him to only two finger and a Thumb it was hard to make finger gestures. Grumbling as he walked to his office Skotin turned his head slightly and said, “Brake room is down that way to the left. Stay there for now and rest. I will be done as soon as I can. The far left side is for training, you will find everything you need to work out as well as work on your swordsmanship. Just ask the High Overseer about where you can work out.” With that said Skotino went off to the center office and closed the door.
