Looking around the world before him, Skotino yawns. He was of course just looking around waiting for something to happen or rather a person he was currently after to appear. Money had been a bit laxed as of late so in order to to maintain a little flow of crowns Skotino and his group that followed him desided to do a little back wall work. Mostly going into higher ups offices and taking documents thus why he was here now. On this grassy noal. Some one he had lined for mark was suppose to be coming here. And here is where he would make sure any word of him or his men would be silenced.

Looking around Skotino saw a group of Knights, this must be the parity he was looking for because no one else was suppose to be coming down here. Slowly he pulled out his blade, a black blade with the cold touch of the shadows. His armor was a simple thing to make him look like he was part if the Shadow-guardians. As well as his Stealth gear that was modified to work with him. Before he could get a good look at his target Skotino beheld the events of what could only be descriped as, strange, as a Knight was formed before his eyes. He could use this some how.

Placing the blade away the Stulking man desided he was going to leave and take the information with him. Yes he would miss out on some pay but it would have been best of him to return and share what he had learned with his second in command. -low- "D. I think we found something that could prove to be worth our while..." He said to no one...

Looking up at the man and shaking his head, Skotino turned off the clocking device and revealed himself. "Nothing...just doing what I normally do. An't that right D." He said looking to his left. But no one was their. Turning back to the man before him Skotino just chuckles slightly. "Could be worse mate. But I know my way around prity well even with out the aid of my gear." He said then reachs up and brushed the hand off his shoulder. "I have no qural with you anyway stranger. Best be on my way." He said then turned to walk away shaking his head.

Looking over his shoulder at the downed man Skotino shakes his head. "D. did you hear that? Seems this one might be worth keeping an eye one after all." He say as he reachs into one of the packs he has on hand pulling forth what looked like a small blue pill. "Here take this, once your fixed up make your way out of here. I have that feeling I might need you later kid." He says as he stands up waiting to make sure the person he was looking at made it back out in one piece. "D. I have that feeling we are going to need to hinder this mission till later. If this is the results of a simple dive I hate to get to the lower area's..."

((No, thats the point of him xD Its to make Skotino seem like he is alone and make his character not really matter. Remember, he is not on your side or anyone elses. But you have a point so forgive me in advance if I make him run off alot. I won't post what he does when he is not around people but do understand, when he is not around people he is more a threat then looking right at him.))

Making his way back to the group he was with Skotino though for a moment. He then looked at the group of men and women he was leading. "Its time we make our presence know. I hate to take this group out of the shadows. But next time we meet strange man, let us hope it is in better furniture." He then gets them on the elevator as it heads up looking down at the area they where leaving. "The orders have changed. To the main hall. We have a meeting with that strange man, as well as the King and Queen. Who I am sure are aware of our actions." He then touched the side of his helm as a small radio like sound is made. "Number 48. The Target should be coming down here soon. Remember, he his a threat to the order so do with him as you will. So long as he is removed from this realm."

-Riding the elevator in silence-

The Light on his eyes stones through as he reachs Haven's main elevator entrence and exits. He then sighs and walks through the halls with the group of four others behind him. The last one stayed behind and kept digging for the mentrals they needed to complete their current plan. Once he was out side of the halls he walked to the keep and stood out side those halls. Knowing full we if he waited long enough the strange man would wonder through here.

((I know, I guess if you want I will make him be around other characters but IDK how the results will be. Right now he has his eyes set on Trey so expect him to be more fouced on him, in other words he will be with that person more. But I have a feeling swords will be drawn soon. specially with what he is about to do.))

I actually arrived to this meeting. Last meeting, I had no idea of it as I was fast asleep on a bed that wasn't in my Guild Hall. (It's a bit cheeky, I know, but there's no beds in my Guild Hall certified for sleeping on) I saw the strange man walk through first of all the Knights at the meeting, and my heart skipped a beat. I had my Cold Iron Carver at the ready (guessing he might count as undead if he acts in a hostile manner) to unsheath and I kept my eyes right n the cloaked figure.

Then he revealed himself, and I was more shocked than ever...

Walking throu the road was a group of four men. Three of which had on lesser of the Shadow armor. But each one had a badge that made it stand out they where represistives of The Darkwatch. A Guild of people who work for higher. As they walked a forth one leading them in a second stage suite walked in front while the other three bore the body of a dead noble. They were the ones to delever the message set down by their leader.

Once they were cleared to enter because of Skotino's word and the fact they were holding the stab riddled body. The group entered the hall and looked at the King and Queen. "My name, is Deadman. I am second in command of a group who has been hidden for a long time. And today I have be told to present the body of a fallen hero. This man learned value able things but fell to the blade of and assassin deep down in the clockworks." He said as the other three layed the make-shift streacher down with the body on it. "On behalf of my leader, he offers this message. Stop digging where you don't belong we do not follow your words, but at the same time we have never go agiced them. If you need our aid simply ask do not try to go behind out backs like this one did else next time it will be a more valued target." He said then got up off his knee and looked back at the other three. "Since we did not kill this one, we are free to leave. The assassin you look for, his number is 48. He bares the crest of ours and is more then likely about to arise from the elevators."

I hoped my best that Trey would be a good companion on this mission. I had only became a defender about seven hours ago, so the part of ascending the ranks quickly the Queen mentioned was as right as possible. Sadly, I left my Dark Thorn Blade behind at my Guild Hall. 'Just a sec' I said. 'I need to grab my secondary sword.' Then I headed towards the Garrison, where the entrance to every Guild Hall is. I went to my Guild Hall, grabbed my DTB from the armoury and headed back to the meeting. No time for a rest - even though I had recently bought several beds, one for each guild member - not being back would lead to me being demoted. I was back just in time.

Walking into the hall Skotino and the rest of the group turn and kneel for a moment. "I will join you. What was done here is dis-honor able, even by my standers." Having been the first time any one out side of the Watch had seen him it would have been confusing to see Skotino in his formal armor, (Dread Skelly if you need a refrence) "We stand no were alined with you or them. But to attack a king is to spit on my face as well. I honored their rule and as suck I stand with you in this." He removes his blade from its scabered on his back and slams it into the ground. A haze of darkness rised as it singed the floor. "I may not be able to call you friend stranger, but as of right now. We are brothers in arms, and as such the Watch lays their blades in your hands." He then picks up the blade and places it back in his sheath.

The four men stand up and turn to Trey and look at him. Dead starts to speak but is quickly silenced with a glance. After a moment the four walk over and place their hands on Treys shoulder showing their loyalty. "We stand at your side, sir."

Nodding Deadman and his thre followers turned to their leader, Skotino reached up and touched the side of his helm. "Alright, operator prepare the elevators and call in all the fighters we can. Remember you see it you keep it standerd raid." He then took his finger off the side of his helm and looked at Trey. "As long as we get our fee. Which we will talk about later, the Watch is waiting. Our operator will patch you into our system soon as to keep in touch."

After his words Dead and his three followers dissappeared from sigh using the stealth tech they all had attacked to their armor. The three lesser of the Watch took the longest to cloak. The sound of their feet trailed off as they left and Skotino looked around at the dead king. He then shook his head and sighed, "I had a bet to see who would take him. But no did I think it would be done while he sat." He then looked up as the mouth of the suite opened slightly, the teeth of the suite adding a more sinister tone to his words. "Death will come swiftly to these low creatures...but what worries me D. is the fact of the matter. There might be more the one group on our hit list. Or this could have been a ploy...yes D. I did take the precosions and set up some of the Watch at the lap and the Bazzar. The Square should be fine because of all the Knights there....." For a moment Skotino looked to his left as if listening to some one talk that was not their. "D. I told you, the elevators will be fine and the Guild halls are protected. It was the keep we were not ready for...Damn your right..."

Walking into the hall way inspecting the damage done Skotino started talking to D once more. "Yes, I am aware he will hinder my plan D. But what other choice do I have? We have spend months remaking the Twins and many others. I won't stop now, if the old stories are right, all I need is the 'black rain'. But this is taking into account the truth in the scrolls in the crypts..." His words some what dead and quiet. "The Totems of the dead are a nice start but they only work if the target is in range, and our men don't need to be that far dead for totems.....I am aware of the risk and that Noble was as well....No D I have taken this risk before and it payed out. Remember the Dead mans Scroll. The one that told us about the Black Rain...The vile is still in our lab being tested. If it really is the Black Rain then it should work. However what should be the consern now is the threat we are about to blindly walk into.....No I will not risk that but as soon as the operator has given me the word I believe I will set into full motion my plan. Till the I need to talk to the stranger once more...enough D we will talk about it later."

Walking back to the stranger, Skotino looked at him. "Per-tell. What do you think we will be getting into and further more, will there be any of the Dark matter meniarls in this area? I am going to need some, for my men. Most of them have the battle sprites to aid them in our line of work. With us, the quicker you get it done, the better the equitment we need. Those sprites help them cloak..." He reached around and pulled out a small black device most knights had for looking at news, guild word, as well as local chatter of the people. "Hmm, I have a report of my men calling for our private bomb squad in the Bazaar. The lab and other area's have been searched and cleaned." Skotino said to the stranger. "It seems a small explosive device was found out side of the entrence to town hall and the gate exit. My guess is they wanted to cut off supplies for a time...Or cover for something else. As of right now The Darkwatch's bomb techs have handled the situation and are disarming the bomb as we speak."

((Just going to give a small moment for the Bomb squad here.))

"Number 63. Get the area cleared. I count three more..." The sound of a females voice muffled by the many layers of protective metal and padding around her head and body. Their were about Seven others out fitted much the same, (Plasmatech Demo Suit but all with Red color eye vents.) each one baring the crest of The Darkwatch. "Number 66 what is the status of the first bomb?"

"Nutural ma'am. As it stands we have sourced out the main detonation." He said back to her. She clear the one in charge, her number embrasoned on the side of her helm '60'.

"Good, lets get these last three. What about the Regulators (Other wise the non-special memebers/normal troops) did they remove the rest of the civilians from the area? We don't need any casualties. The Commander has not told us any number so make it Zero." #60 walked over to the last bomb they found. Looking it over she shook her head. "We are going to have to detonate this one. Where is the blast dome?" One man walked over and looked over the bomb. He then pointed to a wire. "Right this must have been a cluster bomb. Stop the Dome and get Number 67 over here. We need his quick hands." She said as more of the Watch appeared from the cloaking devices. Being a Demolistionest she never needed that backstabing stuff. "Right we have more people here to close the area. Since the bomb squad is here lets make it quick and painless. Anyone sets off a bomb they lose pay understood?"

In unusin they all yelled. "Yes ma'am!"

Leaving the castle rather slowly making sure Trey had left and been on his way Skotino left the castle gate before getting a message from the Operator. Looking around he left the castle and stood by the exit the message had told him to stand by. However he had on a different guise. It was a simple thing, just a standered Demo set but he doned The Darkwatch crest as to tell the others in the area where he was. Looking around he made sure the area was clear before staying still and waiting for his new target to show up.

Walking out infront of the Knight with the Jelly helm whom Skotino's men had pointed out to him he sighed. "You don't fool me boy." he said before placing a hand on his shoulder. "I an't going to turn you in. But I have a request for letting you go. Its either that or I call down the Royal guard and that Stranger from before. And before you ask, no I don't know you but my men told me where you would be." He then turned and looked to his left. "No D. they won't know stop worrying about this." He then turned back to the man before him. "Its simple." he reached behind him and placed a small round object in his hand. "Places this in the altar you pray to. It should be simple if your who I think you are. Thats it, nothing else. But don't think you can drop it. Should we see it stop moving for too long on the Operators end, you won't have to worry about getting far. We will find you boy."

"...Hmm." Ypsel leaned over to see who the stranger in question was. He winced when he saw it was the Almirian. "Ooh... I could probably handle the Royal Guards, they're a bit slow, but you're right. I do want to avoid him." Ypsel took the orb from the man, and sniffed it. He smelled blast powder, and not just a little. "Now, I must tell you, I still have some unfinished business to take care of here in Haven, and there's no way I'll be allowed back before I take care of it. They'll stop me as soon as they hear I didn't complete my mission, search me, and find this. I imagine that's not what you want. I'll finish my job here, then head back, how's that?"

Vapors floated through the broken wall of the castle. An older man, dressed in a wide-brimmed hat and trench coat, puffed thoughtfully on his pipe, petting his Maskeraith "Andy." He casually ejected a power cell from his assault blaster and approached one of the dead bodies. Andy hissed, and the man turned around. The Queen was standing behind him.

Astran replaced his gun to its holster, removed his hat in respect and withdrew his pipe. "G'devenin' m'lady. I'd like t'be of service."

The Operator sat alone in a cold room lined with computers, staring at a monitor. On it, the red blip representing the orb moved away from Haven's gate, through the town square, and into the bazaar.

It went down the first set of steps, paused a moment, then carried on to where Punch and Vise's shops were. It stopped there for several minutes, then moved slowly up the third set of stairs to Bechamel's shop. It paused there, then moved across the the top half of the bazzar back towards town square. Seeming to change its mind, it reversed its course and moved into the arcade. It went down to one of the closed elevators on the east, paused, then headed to the garrison. Taking the bridge across the entrance to the guild halls, it moved over towards the entrance to the lab.

Suddenly, the blip lunged away from the lab door, through a planter, and right into guild halls' front door. Clive leaned forward in his seat, worried. Then he heard a boom in the distance, and fell out of his chair. When he got up, the blip was no longer on the screen.

All of my memories keep you near, in silent whispers, silent tears.

"So you killed him?"
"Dammit, if he hadn't resisted-"
"Please, don't hurt yourself over what is past."
"I thought you, of all people, would have understood?"
"I do understand! I still hate death with a passion."
"Then...why aren't you..."
"Sad that another living soul has departed?"
"Yeah, I guess. Why aren't you mad at me for killing him?"
"Because I understand. The greatest irony of mankind is that..."

"Death is a part of life."

Astran crushed a bug underfoot. Why can't I find you, my love?

POW

Disagreeing on the thought that Guild Halls were a safe neighbourhood, I told every Guild Master I saw to fortify their Guild Halls. Many a GM thought it was a bad idea, saying that nothing could possibly get in and destroy their Hall. I thought - or rather 'knew' that their Guild Halls would be sabotaged by Worshippers - and they would likely override the power sources and destroy the Guild Halls. Those who agreed with my idea were hard at work deploying Mecha Knight and Energy Turret kits, as well as making several Blitz Sentries - a new and wacky Spiral invention involving a minigun made with a Blitz Needle and Autogun. They make my Shotgun sound sensible. (It's a wacky one too - but nowhere near as insane as the Sentries)

All of the Guild Masters who agreed with me to place defences around their Guild Halls were handed a Master Spiral Shotgun - the completed five star version of my four star prototype. Since I am a Defender, Spiral HQ does not let me use the completed shotgun. I gave the four star GMs prototype shotguns and the three star ones a recipe for the P.S.S. and a Super Blaster. Two star ones were also given a recipe for the P.S.S., but got an Autogun instead of a Super Blaster. I told the one and zero star ones to rank up, then I'd give them the Autogun and P.S.S. recipe.

I had already put three Worshipper heads on my particularly sharp sticks (my swords) today. I also shot another dead with my Shotgun. (Don't worry Possiblespy, none were Ypsel) I laughed so much when Blitz Sentries were added to the Birdsong Emporium's stock. I personally preferred energy turrets, Mecha Knight pads and Rocket Launchers (like the ones in IMF and OCH) to the Blitz Sentries.

POW

As the PA system rung around the Garrison and the Guild Halls below, I prevented my guildmates from rushing off. I thought the... THING on the system was not a Knight. It was a trap, as far as I was concerned...

Thinking whatever was on the PA system was a Worshipper, I charged the energy turrets and powered up the Mecha Knights. I also turned on the rocket launchers, ready to fire. We waited and waited, for the invasion that never came...

[Operator]

As the Darkwatch Bomb Techs finally arive so too dose the medical group who has set up their tents outside of the Garrmison. Number 65 went about giving out orders in the absions of Deadman and Skotino. However the Operator kept his eyes pealed as he started shifting the power down. And like he said, for only a minute the power falutered but then came back. Taking control of the PA system once more he started giving anyone who was trapped in their Halls some helpful information. "Alright, their is a Bomb Tech with the Number 66 coming in. He is not going to hurt anyone but I need you all to start exiting, Medical is standing by outside, however this man is armed with Explosives so do not shoot." With that said the Operator started taking control of any Camera in the Guild Hall and look around to guide the Bomb Tech in getting people out.

"Link open, Number 66 reporting." He said as he entered the now cleared Hall. "Bah, what a good waste of an explosion." He said as he Entered the first Hall. Looking around for any Explosive. It might have been quicker if number 65 had entered but that would have not been a good idea if more then one of them came in, armed to the teeth with Pure Explosive power. "Clear." He said as he moved to the next one.

[Operator]

Looking back at the screen with the Knight int he Thrown room the Operator desided it was in the Knights best intrest to go and help with resque then head off to Skotino. Since the Bazaar was already taken care of and down to the last bomb removed he though that the Guild Hall would need more help when it came to getting people out in one piece, that and the fact Number 66 was not best well know for his words. Last time he had a 'friendly' chat with some one, they ended up with a Dark Matter Cluster bomb on their back. "Right, a quick hijack of a systems communications network. Easy as cake." Just as quickly as he spoke the man was typing away on what looked like three differnt key boards at one time. "Might as well give this new system a test run. Have to think Skotino later for the new server. Makes Hot wiring a breeze."

Clicking and pounding the man sighed as he made his way into the Haven Communications networks one server at a time. Since the Fire walls were down and from the looks of it, were going to need to be reset anyway the Operator decided to just cut stright thou to a hard line Tower. This was made only more easy because of the mini-towers around Haven. "For such a big place, they have very laxed Computer security.....Almost done..." On the many screens that surounded him the Operator looked to the left one and saw a red flash pop up. "What! Sector 4 is under lock down...Alright going to just have to hijack the royal Communications network....You owe me for this Skotino..." Leaning back the man pushed his rolling chair around till he was on the other side of the Console and pulled up a Hollow-gram genomical lay out of the Castle with the Camera's filling in the spots where every one was. Since it was a big place their was no way it would be left with out such a Security system to keep track of people at all times. "Their you are...Just need to open this last port and..."

Their would have been a rather odd sound of the Net starting up in the communication device the Knight(Astran) had on his person. "Hello, Look I am going to give you this message. And don't worry I am not a hostle. Thou it more then likely seems that way does it not, but anyway call me the Operator. I need you to get down to the Garrmison and get the people who are in the Guild Hall's out of there. Last check we sent a Bomb Tech of the Darkwatch in their. ANd knowing him, that man has at least Three Kellos of Dark matter Explosives on him added to the fact of a bad temper. Not saying it could get bad. But his job is to disarm bombs not set them. I need you to get over their and handle the talking. I will patch you in to their communications in a moment."
