Snide

Turning around the Gun-Runner took a grazing shot to her leg. If the Gremlin had been a better shot he might have done some major damage. Having no time for this she took off aiming one shot directly at the Gremlin who shot her while she ran, she being a harder target and him having a body in his hands. Taking the shot she showed no signs of caring where it hit, but the red dot was aimed at his chest before the sound of gun fire was heard.

Turning around after the shot as fire she emptied her weapon and sighed as she made a hasty retreat, wounded or not this was turning into a rather enduring fight. Reaching the main elevator she slammed the button and started her decent, not coming off as a threat to the puppies thus she slipped right by with out even getting sighted.

As the elevator slipped out of sight she smiled. They need to upgrade those pups.

Even as Gradus missed quite a bit, so did the other assassin, whose shot went at a slightly askew angle and skimmed off his armor, causing the flexible material to bend and snap back as if it were rubber. No blood, though it felt like a hammerblow. He grimaced, and applied some more medicine to the bruise, gingerly probing it, then turned his attention back to Alexander. He decided to risk revealing his presence to any possibility of threat, and yelled out to the Slime and the Gremlin,

"Oi! Another man down!"

Lead Crumbs.

Alexander groaned, as he came to ever so slightly, the pain in his arm not really registering due to his almost spaced-out state. Looking up he saw the Gremlin mender and commented half-heartedly,

"If you tell anyone I was beaten by a girl". Coming into reality a bit more, pain began to shoot all around his right side. Wanting to be of some use until he passed out for a good while, he reached his hand into the wound, and pulled out the round that he'd been shot with. He placed the round, caked in blood, into the Mender's hands.

"You only had a scrap before, now you have a bullet to trace back to them".

Alexander grimaced at the sudden surge of pain over his right side, before passing out for a good while.

What the *%^&*

"I'm fine"

Jurak barked angrily at Gwen

"Despite your high hopes of giving me a heart attack, I'm still kicking."

and then he saw it, the stark red lining her arm.

"..."

There were no words strong enough to describe his feelings. And what feelings could he possibly have? Disgust? Anger? Dissapointment maybe? No, those didn't fit, nothing seemed to fit.

"But you dearie, you are hurt"

Jurak said, calmly and softly, as though he was speaking to a dying child. Taking a few steps backwards, he kept a straight cold look at the former standing before him. He had seen the infestation before under the rule of Seerus and the only cure they found was death, lest they spread the plague. The warmth of her smile met a cold reception, her words falling upon deaf ears.

Jurak turned and walked away with a broken spirit, leaving Gwen with her thoughts. He hadn't the heart to kill her, or the arm for that matter, and couldn't bear to look at her

Gradus took the bullet lightly with two fingers, not in disgust but to minimize tampering with the actual round. He fished in his pockets, took out a bag with silk-like tightly wound cloth, and neatly sealed it inside. He sighed as the number of unconscious people increased, took out a cone-shaped device, and yelled into it at the Slime and Gremlin, who seemed to not have noticed them.

"WE HAVE A MAN DOWN GET YUR SORRY BUTTS OVER HERE!"

I am not alone.

Gwen's heart sank a little bit as Jurak walked away. He seemed like a nice gremlin, despite his crusty demeanor. It's not like I'm all alone now, though; the Swarm is still with me. When will I Awaken? When will I join that glorious community?
In due time, Gwenivere. All in due time.

Several shots rang out. As she turned to find their source, the Swarm warned her, The assassin is here. Run. We will hold her off with our new forces. Without hesitation, she turned tail and ran, not knowing or caring where she was headed. Who is it? Who could possibly be after me? Why? Why me? She ducked behind a wall as a stray bullet ricocheted dangerously close to her head.

Then the elevator in the hallway returned again. Dark forms stepped off, each armed to the teeth with the blades of the fallen, their crimson eyes glowing with vengeance. They scanned the room for available targets, and spotting the ranger and the assassin, they darted for cover and took aim.

Fire.

Whaaaa.. I have no idea to react

Ark still sitting in front of the elevator, Heard a call from gradus . He activated his dash module and run to the sound , only to find the ranger hand's was bathed in blood. However thing get more worst as a black figure came out of the elevator.

" GUYS ! WE HAVE COMPANY ! " ark shouted

He then looked around and noticed the girl has dissepeared again..

" AND THE GIRL HAS RUN AWAY AGAIN ! " He shouted again

He stomped the ground creating barriers around gradus and alexander , " that should hold off fire while you are treating the ranger , i am going to hold them as long as i can... and we should probably hit the elevator after the ranger is cured "

Then ark returned fire to the black mast.. things are getting stranger and stranger here..

An unfond farewell

Jurak continued walking away from the re-lived nightmare. looking to the group, he saw the three still laying about.

(Coulda stopped it, saved a #$%^&*$ life for once, but instead you're all still sitn' here.)

Jurak raged within his mind.

"I don't have time for this"

He screamed in frustration while walking through the barrier. Grabbing the slime for a second time, Jurak threw it at quotes face before grabbing the collar of both him and his patient. Dragging them to the main elevator. The madness ends here.

There was nothing left anymore, it had taken away everything away from him twice over.

Tired of hiding.

Waiting for Jurak at the elevator was a sight he did NOT want to see.

A towering Void form unlike any he'd ever seen blocked his way onto the elevator. Neither Apocrean nor Lumber, it resembled the former, but its limbs seemed as strong as the latter. It spoke in the echoing voice of the Swarm, "Hello, Jurak. You seem to have taken a liking to our Gwenivere. Join us, and you will never be separated from her."

It was admittedly a very lame attempt at getting his allegiance, but it's not like the Swarm has had much practice.

Errr , what ?

" .... Should have seen that coming.... " Ark said in a frustrated note. " Next time you want to throw someone ... ask them at least politely .. " Ark grumbles in mid-flight . He landed on a knight face ... " Well this is getting awkward.... " ark said.. then he get carried away by jurak " You know , this is the most awkward moment in my life... "

True spark and roar

In one motion, Jurak had dropped little band of misfits and stared at the creature. To come forth with such audacity gave him pause as the words stabbed at his mind, salting his fresh wounds. Jurak covered his face as he bagan to shake. The various mechinations adorning his body began to give off a think black smoke a tell-tale sign that they were shifting into a gear that hadn't been used in a very long time. His hands flew back to his sides as his his head flew backwards

AHAHAHAHA!!!

The twisted, pained laughter echoed throughout the acursed floor. And yet, it had gone, quickly as it had come.

"No"

He said, shifting his head back down with his eyes closed, apparently savoring the sour smell of the smog that surrounded him. His eyes opened to reveal the spirals of madness beneath them, a raging fire of hate waiting to be unleashed. He tilted his head sideways, meeting the eyes of the intruder.

"they say the mind bends n' twists to deal with the horrors of life. And you've just snapped mine in two"

Jurak said with a slight chuckle before continuing on

"You've made a mistaaaaaaake...."

Jurak said in a slow voice calm voice, before slamming the ground and adding into it with a roar

"A BIG $%^&*%^& MISTAKE"

His gear sparked to life, coursing energy throughout his body and causing him to glow with an aura of the hacked technologies around him. As the slammed his thwack hammer into the ground, the symbol of the Crimson order appeared as the gates closed behind him. The turrents now fully under Nappy's command had been affected by the pulse, as they sparked to life with unusual attentiveness; even the busted puppies had been trying to conform to the new management and assist Jurak. He pointed to the creature, sparks flying from his fingertip

"i've seen you kill allies, friends, and familiy; watched you drive men to insanity and to thier deaths."

Jurak bellowed in a wicked tone

"And now i'll see you ripped to shreds you F%^&*&^% monstrosity. You aren't leaving here alive"

The words left alongside Jurak's sanity. Forget the order, or the mission, this was personal. With the emblem of the Crimson order adorning the ground and gates, it's possible to think this mad gremlin was the warmaster himself, reborn out of hatred.

Hearing the sound of shots ringing from the elevator, and a ticked off Gremlin throwing a Slime larger than himself, Gradus wisely decided to get the heck out of here. He grunted as he hauled the now unconscious Alexander to the elevator...

...and stopped right in his tracks.

Swarm. You again.

Never to fail again.

With a fluid motion, he hurled the ranger onto the Slime, pulled out his Iron Slug, and with a speed from sheer hate, ran behind it onto the elevator, and fired repeatedly through its "head".

"Th's is for those lost, you sunuvacrap." He didn't notice that the crimson crystal on his wand was glowing more brightly as it neared the Swarm creature.

Replying with guns

The Void Commandos fired off a salvo of Carbine fire and took cover behind the same wall Gwen used. These vermin are annoying. Grenades, please. One of them armed an Obsidian Crusher, peeked over the wall, and lobbed it at the two attacking enemies. Time for the other fist to throw its punch. Right on cue, another squad of Void Commandos snuck up behind the unfortunate ranger & gremlin and launched a surprise battery of Obsidian Edge charges.

A couple of them fell to the angry shots of the gremlin and the ranger. Their agonized screams pierced the air with unearthly abandon as they vanished and returned to the Void whence they came. It would be almost satisfying if one didn't get a sinking feeling that their voices sounded familiar, like they belonged to people you once met, never to speak again.

Gradus took cover behind what used to be a bookshelf, and shot at the enormous crowd. It was so large that even he couldn't miss, and a Swarm creature collapsed, a hole in its chest. He tripped over a tome, and a commando took the opportunity to fire at him, the bullet clipping off his belt. His wand fell to the ground, and he noticed for the first time the sheer intensity of its glow. The firing paused and slackened as the mender reverently picked up the wand, which was by now practically alternating between red and white, the latter repulsing the Swarm. He slowly-

A vortex sucked Gradus into the middle of its otherwordly effects, leaving him as an open target. Disorientated, he dropped his wand onto the bomb. There was a brief mix of all colors, and then he was standing up, even more confused. The vortex had vanished, and his wand seemed to have permanently shifted from crimson to blinding light. Not knowing how this was happening, Gradus quickly blamed the Swarm.

"Oi! What're you tightwads doing wid me wand?!" He punctuated each syllable with a roar from his Slug, missing more often than not.

Emberlight's Hero's.

Gremlins baring the Ironclaw symble's poured into the room, with them came the light of flare's to make the area's dark corner's brighter. It was only a hand full or so, maybe even less then six. But with them was some one who could scare even the Swarm, a Gremlin Incinerator. The Elite of the Scorchers' in the flesh from the king of Gremlin's himself. Doubtful the Coloniest pulled out hammers as well as Wands, casing there bullets and hammering the ground sending out shock waves.

The Incinerator looked over had the older Gremlin who had called them from above. They where on there way to a deeper level when they picked up his signal. Pointing our orders the Incinerator made a devilish chuckle before unleashing a Ember Bolt directly at the darkened creature, with the flares eluminating the area the darkness had not a place to hide in this keep.

The gremlin (who seems to

The gremlin (who seems to care quite a bit for this lady) came over to investigate, while a fire fight started and ended before Quote could get to an easy to shoot. The girl had come up from the elevator, and the gremlin seemed pleased, until he noticed a strange red mark on her arm. Swarm infection. He was unwilling to kill her, and while Quote debated it, she quickly ran before his conscience allowed him to. He picked up the slime and threw it at quote, who couldn't react in time to avoid it from slamming him in his face. It quickly got off of him and he wiped his face off.

Over where the gremlin was, a bunch of swarm creatures had gathered.

He got behind a near wall, pulled out his firo driver, which had been charging for a while, and released a ferocious fiery bullet. He then switched to his strike needle to rain support fire. ((No firo driver bullet is just a regular charge shot if that's not clear.))

End of the line

As the smoke cleared, scorched earth and memories were all that remained of the shadowy figure. But was it ever really there? Or was it but an apparition sent by Apocrea to test the gremlin's faith and what true colors he flew? The machines died down, the gears slowed, Jurak's rage had been quenched. A few soundless gestures of thanks were exchanged between Juraks group and his summoned heros as they all made their way onto the crampt lift.

Inside the mind of a Ranger? Dont wanna know.

Alexander briefly awoke from the loud noises, to give an un-needed, dazed slur.

"Why Desna...I knew you felt that way about me...but its complicated....".

This continued a little longer than anyone would have wanted.

"Hello Marks-woman....can explain....dont fight over me ladies....maybe a little...".

Alexander slumped back into an unconsious state, drooling a little.

What the

[Depth 19: Candlestick Keep, Burning Blackout]

The group of Gremlins looked around for a moment, silently the Incinerator reached over and smacked the ranger a few times speaking in the natural language of the Gremlins to Jurak.

"Kinda odd this one en? Look at him talking in his sleep. What the hell is he saying old one?"

The other Gremlins all waited there turn to ride the lift. The Incinerator tilting its masked head as he slapped the Ranger once more to wake him. As it turned out this little outcast group was a turn coat of the Colonist. Wanting to join Emberlight for the sake of ending this war with the knights seeing no hope in victory so long as they fought for the king.
