Storm, and Azan.
Location: Local 7-11 [http://www.phinneywood.com/images/7-11.jpg] | Inner City | Los Angeles.
Time: Afternoon.
Giving a nod to the "larger than life" man, Storm followed the booming Azan back to the store. Seeing the conflict happen directly in front of them, Storm was about to charge in, yet, the Spartan was late to the party as Azan announced his morals. The next thing that happened was a sight to see, for the grand mace made contact with the criminal. Knowing, and certainly hearing the damage done to the man, Storm could only say two words.

"Holy shit!"

He had yelped in surprise. Shaking himself of the sight, before the criminal got the chance to react or fall, Storm gave off one step, and he was already in grabbing distance. With an impossible speed, Storm charged from below, and sprang upward, grabbing the male's throat, and pushing him into the wall where the drink section was located. Holding him upwards in the air, the Spartan was taller than the man, allowing to slap him with ease to keep him awake.

Knowing his training, he made sure where the pistol was before interrogation. "Agreed. Though this "ruffian" may be a little more talkative after that move with the mace!" Storm said back, giving Azan a neat smile before turning his head back. "I doubt you want to feel that again."

Wanderer, Caim, and Angelus.
Location: Old Rail Yard [http://img2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20140427023536/gtawiki/images/b/b6/0_0_%2811111%29.jpg] | Inner City | Los Angeles.
Time: Afternoon.
Quieting down immediately, Wanderer gave a nod to Angelus, confirming the fact. Holding up his ring, it had a few scratches on it, as if someone tried to take it apart or modify it. The ring was received by the Doctor shortly before they left. It shocked the inhuman man as soon as it's purpose was discovered, his eyes were almost sparkling. In the current situation, the 'current' Doctor seemed to have more of a serious face on.

("Yup ... I've been on both sides. I have equipment for such work.")
("They usually ended up dead though")

The normal Doctor said over the ring, followed up by his darker personality. The face of the Wanderer winced at the fact that his darker side could still communicate over the rings. Having both sides talk would soon enough end in conflict, though the better Wanderer was heard more than the darker side, indicating the current stance of dominant and submissive positions. The current in-control Doctor shook his head, pulling out a strange device [http://img3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20120703000604/fallout/images/9/95/Stealth_Boy.png] from his coat.

Attaching it to the machine on his left arm, the Wanderer played with a few buttons on the machine, and suddenly a cloaking energy began to enshroud him. Eventually leaving a tiny little blur, barely noticeable to the human eye unless you got too close. The blur followed the human dragon, the man underneath the energy holding his trusty black revolver just in case.

Merlin, and Shorn.
Location: The White Crib [http://img1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20131215224233/saintsrow/images/e/e7/Wh_logo_01.png]'s Secret Service Center/ Wise Rd NW | Washington D.C.
Time: Evening.
Following the last given position, Merlin was yelling over the VTOL's on-board radio, giving directions to the pilot. Having lessons with the vehicle were comforting, yet he still lacked much practice. One thought he worried about was the landings, he didn't exactly want to crash in any buildings, and worse, wreck the President's lead air vehicle. As the VTOL was coming along the car, it was speeding along, almost keeping up to the speeding aircraft.

Giving a daring smile, the lead tactician started to descend, getting close to the car. Not knowing much about aircraft tactics, the purple-robed pilot decided to give a shock of terror to the driver, and other drivers in the area. After all, he cannot use any weapons, though he had hoped to scare the man out of the car, for the speed and air the craft created might flip any vehicle if it gets too close. "This brigand seems be daring just like us." Shorn remarked, concentrating while lowering the VTOL inch by inch.

"Just don't kill us ... I would hate to give the ruffians who did this a laugh!" Merlin added, worrying about the flying hunk of metal getting close to the ground. His mind almost in a worrying state.

Los Angeles: 7/11: Azan, Storm, Clerk, Anyone else

"OOOOOOOOOOOOOH-Shit, son!" The Clerk exclaimed as Azan all of a sudden returned and struck out the would be robber followed by Storm picking him up off the ground like pair of would be vigilantes.
While the goon would have been singing like a bird, there was something about having several ribs broken that made conversation a little difficult.
Still, the sight of the pistol did help him tough it out a little, just a little.
"*Choke* Dude-....what you want?....*gasp*..." He asked as he coughed up some blood, maces were known for causing internal damage after all, might want to make the Q/A session short. Or, you know, get him some medical attention.
All the while, the Clerk was more then a little thankful for them saving his ass.
"THANKYOUTHANKYOUTHANKYOUTHANKYOUTHANKYOUTHANKYOUTHANKYOUTHANKYOUTHANKYOUTHANKYOUTHANKYOUTHANKYOUTHANKYOUTHANKYOU! Ohhhhh, man, no matter how many times they do that, I never get used to it." he remarked as he sat down for a moment to catch his breath.
As for long range communications, The Goon had a phone on him that they could use.

Los Angeles: The Old Rail Yard: Caim, Angelus, Wanderer, Anyone else

With the plan in place and the pieces moving, Angelus engaged the dealer, quickly getting his attention the second he looked up from his phone.
"...Damn...You party girls really are 24/7, ain't yez?" He remarked as he looked at the dragoness, thinking she was just some party goer in-between raves.
"Let me guess, need a little "Something-Something" for "Gal-friendz"? Gotcha covered, Toots." The Dealer said before he unzipped his jacket and revealed his stock.
"Got 'Caine, Got Pot, Got Yellow Bentines, Triple-Sod, Clarky Cat, C.A.K.E., Got something new for ya, straight from the chef so to speak. Check it, Toots: Doomsday." he chuckled as he pulled out another bag of those Green Rocks with a evil looking smile.
"If 'Caine is "Da Bomb", this...is "Da A-Bomb." He joked, clearly unaware of the 2 mass murdering men ready to rip his spine out and/or the fact he was talking to the last Person/Dragon he should be calling "Toots".

Merlin, and Shorn.
Location: Western Ave NW | Washington D.C.
Time: Evening.
From what the two pilots could see, the 3 men in the car were clearly starting to panic as they seemed to yell at each other while a woman in the passager seat curled up in her seat, seeming crying.
Something was off, they were all dressed in suits and certainly didn't look like a bunch of paramilitary kidnappers.
Either way, the driver of the car, in a bit of clever thinking, suddenly hit the brakes on the car before quickly u-turning away from the VTOL and driving off into the opposite direction, cutting across a front yard or 2 as he did.
One of the other men in the car, Namely a fat bald man in his late 40s, then pulled down the windows before leaning out of it with a AK-74 before frantically screaming Rambo style as he opened fire on the VTOL. And missed every single shot.
Pierce got beaten by *THESE* guys?...Well...Okay, It *IS* Pierce...

Oh, speaking of, He perked up as he heard the jet engines outside, only to then get his head banged against the side of the trunk when they turned tail and attempted to flee.

Los Angeles: VTOL (Skies Above): David West, Chris, Anyone else

The drow remained silent as she listened to David's explanation. "That's... about what I thought, thank you..." She looked upwards, thinking about the Rising Dawn and the people aboard it. "I'm... still a little surprised people... as diverse as the crew were chosen for a... reconnaissance mission of this nature, then..." She shook her head slightly in amazement. "They're... bound to cause a commotion, if they're... not that common, I'd think..." She sighed softly. "Or... maybe I'm just more... self-conscious than most about such things..."

She tilted her head as she listened to him talk about the land of his birth. "There's... nothing wrong with some rain, it sure... beats constant sunny weather, at least from my view..." She smiled a little more. "And... the last world I was on did have... expatriates from several different Earths, so I'm at least... passingly familiar with the various liquors from here." She paused as she saw the flask he was drinking from. "I'm... not familiar with that flag, though... Is that country close to Scotland? That is where... scotch comes from, isn't it?" Her cheeks darkened a little. "That and... someplace called... Traverse City, I think? They made some... very tasty cherry wines..." She giggled softly. "Terrible, isn't it? I... wanted to be a teacher, but... all I know of this world is... where my favorite drinks came from."

Los Angeles: VTOL (Skies Above): David West, Chris, Anyone else

"Hey, Kazuya REALLY wants this guy. Believe me, when that guy wants something, he'll do what he can to get it. If it wasn't for the fact they know he was coming of them and thus would move the target out of the city, he wouldn't have called us. The Rising Dawn showing up can mean anything, Kazuya? Not so much." David pointed out as he sat himself down on the floor by the Drow, checking his rifle out of habit.
"Besides, it's LA, even before that Demon god flattened the place about a year or two ago, no one really takes notice." He then added, casually mentioning that one time were that did actually happen about 400 forum pages ago.

Then the conversation went to the weather and Booze, something that David could talk hours about.
"Key word there, Chris is "Some" rain. Not day in, day out. I understand the complaints of someone who lives out in the desert, but having it rain every day instead ain't all it's cracked up to be either." He said before he took a swig of the flask before he asked about Ireland's location.
"Yep, just cross the Irish Sea, can't miss it. Just one ferry trip away. And Yes, they do make Scotch." He then joked before he offered Chris a drink.
"Me? I'm more a Vodka kinda person. Ever try it? Ever want to?" He said before giving her the flask.

"And don't worry about it, A lot of teachers drink. And personally, I wouldn't mind learning a few new locations for the bucket list."

Los Angeles: LA Docks: Rugal, Icarus, Teri, Dimitri, Garm, Anyone else
Icarus grit his teeth but he tried very hard to relax,
"See that you do or I'll be back" he stormed off to the others. His wings flared wide, he clearly didn't want anyone close to him. He then relayed everything he saw to Rugal and Teri in great detail.
"I hope that helps, I'm starting to suspect that this receipt is bunk, argh, I thought we were close." he was clearly angry and he crumpled up the receipt in his fist he sat down, breathing heavily.

Los Angeles: Library
Selena, Shinia

The two girls sat alone together in the dark library lit by candles
"Now that preparations are done we can begin, I want you to imagine some sort of energy surrounding your hand gently flowing around it like a river, a pleasant warm sensation, imagine it vividly your eyes may be closed or open all that matters is if yous see it in your mind." Selena watched the girl, wondering if it was possible, "Will She be able to control it? I learned it myself, but then again that as after the village was burned to the ground."

[color=9F2B68]Kazuya[/color] | Violet | G-Corp workers
Location: Currently occupied Hanger | Rising Dawn.
While the operation on the ground was going as planned, Violet was making the most of his new position as Co-Commander of their little "Home away from home" as he put his feet up and watched the police scanners for any trace of Doom or the people looking for him.
There was a lot of racket about something called Roscos, but there wasn't much else, most likely just some kids pranking the drive thru.
"Man, all this chatter is making me peakish..." He muttered to himself, can't work on a empty stomach and all that.
Checking that the coast was clear, he then reached down from his chair before opening up a drawer and pulling out a Mini cooler with glee.

Least until he checked the contents that is.
"...What the-..." He stammered as he found that most of his private treats had been rooted though and the prize of them: His Starbucks Chocolate and Caramel Muffins, were no where to be seen.
"...Right...OKAY! WHO WAS AT MY DESK!? WHO STOLE MY GODDAMN MUFFINS?!" He shouted at the soldiers, much to their confusion as he attempted to find the muffin snatcher.

Kazuya meanwhile was watching the scene, groaning as he shook his head and re-weighed the merits of having that man killed.
It was then that he felt something in the air, something...Dark, but familiar.
He glanced around the hanger before he sensed a type of dark energy, with all the other Ki and Magic users at the briefing, he must had overlooked it.
Leaving his post, he began to seek and track the source of this power...

[color=9F2B68]Kazuya[/color] | Violet | G-Corp workers | Melethia
Location: Currently occupied Hanger | Rising Dawn.
Melethia was nearby in the wall vents, nibbling on the tasty muffins as she thought out what she'd be doing here. After all, she wasn't going to let these G Corp guys (Even if that Violet guy did make fantastic drinks) have free reign over her abode. Still don't know what to think of these possible saboteurs, but since there haven't been any pained screams it's probably safe to say they haven't tried any tampering in the dangerous areas. However, she was hearing some footsteps moving around in a different way - scouting, perhaps? It was different than the typical patterns, and that alone was reason for interest.

In this case, 'interest' meant drawing her returning dagger and silently shifting so she couldn't be directly seen from the vent grate. If someone were to head in, she'd be ready to throw the blade at the unwitting person's kneecap.

Los Angeles: VTOL (Skies Above): David West, Chris, Slindis

Slindis had woken up after getting rest in the VTOL to hear the other two talking and stretched. [color=c200]"Is it right to assume there's not been any news from the ground? I was just getting some sleep while I could, and I just found a little nook to hide off in. Small habit from Eberron is all, nothing more."[/color]

SHe also glanced to Chris and gave the fellow drow another moment of peace as she grabbed a drink from a canteen. [color=c200]"Heard the talk about a desert, and that brings back a few memories... From the research I did here, at least the mummies are relatively confined and won't come back to life."[/color]

Los Angeles: The Old Rail Yard: Caim, Angelus, Wanderer, Devon


Devon had joined the group, having taken a different route as she kept an eye out for any trouble. After all, drug deals could go poorly rather rapidly. [color=00c863]"Caim, what's your call on the area around us? I can bluff some heat coming in if we need it."[/color]

Los Angeles: LA Docks: Rugal, Icarus, Teri, Dimitri, Garm, Anyone else


Ella had taken some time to fly in on the second wave, taking her time to get views on the streets along the way. "Plenty of extra people here, and none of them are built like dock workers. Seems like taking the secondary route was a good idea." It might have been due to her not entering as loudly as the other winged person, but she didn't seem to be as noticed.

She also took the time to contact Rugal over the rings. "If you ask me, it's getting hot here real fast. There's more than a few gangmembers if my call's right, and with how loud that new kid's coming in I'd want to prep for some kind of ambush." At the same time, she landed near Teri, glancing around and using her keen hearing to try and act as a scout.

[color=9F2B68]Kazuya[/color] | Melethia
Location: Currently occupied Hanger | Rising Dawn.
Melethia watched as a shadow cast over the grate as Kazuya made it way over to it, sensing the source of the Dark Energy.
She was out of the man's field of vision as she watched him pause as he looked at the vent before seemingly looking off at something else and walking away from it.
Counting the footsteps, as well as figuring out what direction they were heading in, she figured out that instead of going for the grate, Kazuya wa-

A loud *BANG!* Echoed in the vent as a pair of hand shaped dents appeared in the vent lining, causing the entire vent to shake as it was being pulled from the wall.
Instinctively, She buried her dagger into one of the hand marks, going clean though the Flesh, Bone and Metal all in one, though it did little to stop Kazuya from ripping that entire section of venting off the wall, causing her slide out into the open afterwards.
[color=9f2b68]"...YOU?!"[/color] Kazuya grunted before he nursed his hand which now had a though-and-though wound. Nothing that a doctor wouldn't fit, but there were HF-Blades that didn't cut flesh so damn finely, though judging from the slightly mindfucked look on his face, it was the last thing on his mind.
[color=9f2b68]"...But...I don't-...Get 2 men to put this air vent back in, ASAP! And get me a First Aid Kit!"[/color] He barked at his men as they wondered why the hell he had ripped out part of the wall in the first place.
[color=9f2b68]"...Forgive me. I had thought that there was something..."Demonic" in the vents. My senses aren't known for leading my astray like this..."[/color] He said as he bowed slightly in apology, though judging from the stare she got from him afterwards, It was clear he thought there was something up with her as he then went to tend his injured hand...

Boss | Edge | G-Corp pilot
Location: VTOL
Time: Half an hour ago
Boss smiled as Edge walked towards the transport. "You changed your duds!" Boss said. "You look good. Much more asian-y. I think." Edge wordlessly walked past Boss and sat down. Boss shrugged and sat down on the opposite seat Edge had taken. "Hat is a nice touch." Boss said, still trying to make small talk. The vessel took off. "Makes you look more authentic, but it's bound to stick out. I like it-"

"I don't want to talk." Edge said coldly, staring out the window. "Bother the pilot if you want to chat with someone."

Boss's smile faded a little, and he looked away. About a minute later, Boss snapped his fingers excitedly. "I saw that Biertov guy in Kazuya's group! And he was with another Russian gu-"

"I just said," Edge growled, still not looking at Boss. "That I don't want to talk right now."

"Yeah, but I-"

"Shutup." Edge said, cutting Boss off. "I don't want to hear it."

Boss looked at the floor, then looked back out the window, saying nothing. The small vehicle was silent for several minutes.

"What happened with that thing over the ocean?" Edge asked.

Boss looked back from the window. Edge was looking at him now, his eyes both angry and terrified. He had seen Edge angry before, but never...never like this. "I went to buy you guys time." Boss said. "Clearly not enough, but-"

"No." Edge said. "I mean how did he..." Edge rubbed his face with his hands and took a deep breath. "Just...what happened? To you?"

Boss was taken aback. "I...don't...I fought it, and it beat me. Stabbed me with a knife; I gave the knife to that kid back at the castle, but-"

"HOW THE FUCK DID IT BEAT YOU?" Edge shouted, standing up. "WHY DIDN'T YOU RIP OFF IT'S ARMS, OR IT'S HEAD, OR JUST BLOW IT TO FUCKING PIECES!?"

Boss recoiled as much as he could in the small chair. "I...I hit it with everything I had, Edge!" Boss said. "I mind-nuked it, for pete's sake, it just wasn't-"

"THEN YOU DIDN'T DO IT RIGHT!" Edge said, throwing his hat on the ground. "YOU SHOULD HAVE DESTROYED THAT FUCKING THING! YOU FUCKING SAID SO YOUR FUCKING SELF!"

"I..." Boss looked around, then at the ground again, curling up into a ball. "I tried. I'm sorry..."

Edge took a step back, took a deep breath, and sat back down. Calm and quiet. Edge thought. Calm and quiet. I don't need to yell at him. I don't-

Edge ran his fingers through his hair. "I'm not angry at you." he said. "Not...not at you. I just...I was just..." Edge sighed. "I don't want you to do something stupid and get yourself killed, Boss. And you keep doing really stupid things. A lot."

Boss nodded, still curled up in a ball on his seat. "I'm sorry..."

"Don't..." Edge climed into the seat next to Boss and wrapped his arms around his friend's shoulders. "Don't do that. I'm not angry at you, Boss, really. I'm just...I've seen enough people I care about get killed because of stupid people. I don't want you to get killed, too. Because that would fucking suck."

Boss nodded. "I know."

Edge let go of Boss and picked up his hat. "About twenty years ago..." Edge said. "I met a walking saint; a man with the power and the will to heal the sick, feed the hungry, and bring hope to the entire world. And he had powers like yours, but stronger. The way you can move buildings? He could do that with entire galaxies. Or at least things the size of galaxies." Edge shook his head. "I saw him do things that I still don't completely understand. More than once."

"...what happened to him?" Boss asked quietly. He had never heard Edge talk about his past before, at least not in clear, concrete terms. Just vague stories about time in south-east Asia or France or other places he didn't mention.

"He died." Edge said, shaking his head. "Five years ago. Killed by one of the people he worked so hard to save." Edge looked back over at Boss. "I know why you want to...why you want to try and save everyone. I really do. I even respect that point of view. But you can't. Some people can't be reasoned with, some people don't want help, and some things have gone so far as to throw away their entire humanity. And these things will murder you if you give them the chance."

Boss nodded again. He wasn't curled up anymore, but his arms were still wrapped around his chest. "I know." he said. "I don't want to know, but I know."

Edge shook his head. "I don't know what I'm saying. I just..." Edge put his arms around Boss again. "Please. Please be careful. Don't do everything in your power to save someone who can't be saved; sometimes the easiest possible solution is the right one. And don't die. Please don't die."

Boss nodded, but said nothing.

Boss | Edge
Location: Inner City (L.A.)
Time: Sunset
Easiest possible solution... Boss thought as the car screeched towards them. Edge walked forward and put one hand under his robe; from the front you couldn't see, but he was gripping one of his swords. What is the simplest thing I can do that will both solve this and protect the people inside? Boss smiled. Like with the train. he thought, lifting the car in the air even as it screeched towards them. It slowed down considerably, but not immediately, and spun slightly in the air as it came forward until it was completely upside down.

Edge looked over at Boss and nodded. Turning away again, he shouted, "LISTEN!" holding up both hands as he did, and walking slowly towards the upside-down car, which was floating at eye level. "My friend and I aren't here to pick a fight. We just want to talk, and needed to get someone's attention. We're looking for two people; a big guy in armor and a green cloak named Doom, and a bookie named Diabs." Edge tried to peer inside, but couldn't see anything; the windows were tinted dark purple, and the sun was behind him and in front of the car. He could, however, hear shuffling around inside. "We aren't looking for a fight." Edge said again. "We don't want to hurt anyone that doesn't already deserve it."

"AND!" Boss said, now on top of the car. "We can pay you for helping us. And I personally know someone who can install self-seatbelting-seatbelts for you guys."

Storm, and Azan.
Location: Local 7-11 [http://www.phinneywood.com/images/7-11.jpg] | Inner City | Los Angeles.
Time: Afternoon.
Seeing blood from the criminal, Storm rolled his eyes. "I thought L.A criminals were suppose to be tough ... they are in my time." Storm mentioned as he lowered the man to the ground, though with one thrust, the man slid to Azan's feet. Looking to the cashier, he gave a nod. "No problem ... just try to ask for more protection. Maybe a hidden shotgun under the counter ... like the movies. Anyway, our orders are to get this man back to base ... and I guess to get him some help." Storm sighed, he looked back to Azan and the criminal.

Spotting the phone, he nodded. "Thank God I only know the Dawn's number ... everyone else uses those damn rings." Storm sighed before trying to phone the bridge of the dawn, hoping that one of Kazuya's men is looking after the station.

Wanderer, Caim, Angelus, and Devon.
Location: Old Rail Yard [http://img2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20140427023536/gtawiki/images/b/b6/0_0_%2811111%29.jpg] | Inner City | Los Angeles.
Time: Afternoon.
Staying behind "Party girl" Angelus, the Wanderer's feet were still planted to the Rail Yard gravel, not daring to move an inch. He was thinking to himself about the name of the green drug, one packet still in his inventory. ("'Doomsday' how fuckin' narcissistic.") The inner-Shadow Wanderer thought, still in his submissive role. Wanderer was still tracking the dealer, hoping what they knew what to do next, for he himself had a good plan.

Slowly moving in his stealth-field, he held up his ring, and sent a message to the party. "Is that all the info we can get out of him in this kind of state? Interrogation might be handy ... though I do have my own plan to draw out our targets" His thoughts were transmitted to the three allies in the area, Wanderer not knowing about Devon's appearance. "You should kick him in the balls for that 'toots' comment ... I know I would." The Darker personality also spoke afterwards. Wanderer could only mouth a silent sigh.

Merlin, and Shorn.
Location: Western Ave NW | Washington D.C.
Time: Evening.
With the target car making a U-turn, the first advisor grunted as he suddenly had to make a turn himself. He was placing all the strength he had into turning the wheel. All while in the back, Merlin huffed a sigh. This made him throw his hands up, this would not be so bad, except the motion purposely created a magical air blast which popped the top of the cockpit, allowing all the air to rush in. Merlin looking at Shorn could only see the tactician, magician, swordsman screaming words with no sound.

Giving him a shrug, Merlin created a shield around the cockpit, one big enough that he could stand in it. The master magician was smirking as the VTOL finally came back on track, around hundred meters away from the car. Merlin shook a sudden thought about his compliments to the makers of these fine machines. Bringing his hands together, the standing wizard was motioning, as if he was trying to make snowball. Suddenly wiping his hands and thrusting them, he had sent out a mass of energy towards the car.

The pilot Shorn knew what magic this was, it was a air ball that was heading towards the car, hoping to throw it from the roads.

Los Angeles: Residential Area: Katya, Ton Ton, Cadolblog, Anyone else

The Cutie Bruisers gave pause at Katya's quick end to the management's attack; and the two looked to each other with mixed expressions, and turned to their pact bond to discuss their new ally for the moment,
"She kinda reminds me of Father on a bad day."
[color=15650d]"Yeah... That worries me a little. I mean, I can deal with fights and stuff, but if she's just going to cause a mass of them, that may not be incredibly helpful to our objective. I don't think we have any information at all! Not to mention we shouldn't leave her to the horde, but..."[/color]
"I think she has a computer? We've seen those do crazy stuff! How about we talk with her about it? That's something you'd tell me to do, I think?"

Ton Ton paused, his (essentially) blood-brother's clear analysis cutting him to the core. However, his tone brightened, and the Tonberry looked to their female charge, [color=15650D]"...Sometimes you really surprise me Cadolbolg, you know that?"[/color]

Hopping back on Cadolbolg's back, the Cutie Bruisers hovered over by Katya, and Ton Ton was the first to speak up, [color=15650D]"Hey, I think we need to talk... I mean, you're a great fighter and everything, that much is clear, but we can't really keep up with fights about consoles or whatever. We started talking to you about Doctor Doom, remember? The bad guy in green and armor."[/color]

"You know, now that you mention it..." Cadolbolg pointed to a goon with the insignia of the card [http://prod.cloud.rockstargames.com/crews/sc/8598/728/publish/emblem/emblem_128.png], "Didn't Kazuya say that Doom was involved with some gangs? [small]Not to mention those jerks tried to make us dance...[/small]"

Los Angeles: The Old Rail Yard: Caim, Angelus, Wanderer, Devon, anyone else

[color=00c863]"Caim, what's your call on the area around us? I can bluff some heat coming in if we need it."[/color]

The mute warrior couldn't help the corner of his mouth crinkling into a smile, if only a little, on three different accounts. The first - the drug dealer had no idea who he was dealing with, the second - how himself and Wanderer were closing in on him, and the third - Devon inexplicably sneaking into the business and already asking for orders. He'd make a warrior of that Bard yet, "So far, things are looking relatively calm. Angelus is approaching the target and she's already getting a decent amount of drugs on display. However, once the signal is dropped, myself and Wanderer are going to get a jump on him. If he makes noise, which may be probable, on account of his vocal chords needing to be functioning, then I'll need you to do that. Otherwise, keep your ear to the ground."

"On the contrary Wanderer, that's exactly what we'll do! When I give the signal, we'll corner him and pump him for information."
As for the dragon in question, she feigned an intrigued expression, her chin resting on her fist for a moment as she exclaimed, "How wonderfully astute of you! However, you're a little wrong. I intend to make a purchase for later; and that purchase will need to be something aside from little green rocks..."

She took another innocent step towards the drug dealer, her expression taking a slightly predatory edge, "Rather, what I desire is information, and I expect you to grant it to me....Unless of course, you want myself and my associates to give 'it' to you."
"Corner him. Now."


((@Shaun: I'll give you temporary control of Caim's movements to trap the thug in conjunction with Wanderer. c: ))


Los Angeles: LA Docks: Rugal, Icarus, Teri, Dimitri, Garm, Ella, Anyone else

Teri motioned towards Garm to come back to her side, the anger within herself simmering down to a more controlled state. As she reached for her canine companion's fur and whispered an apology to him, [color=0E59E4][small]"Sorry for scaring you buddy, you did nothing wrong..."[/small][/color]
Giving a wave to Ella, as well as a distasteful frown at Icarus' methods, Teri instead approached the shaking man and allowed her healing aura to wash over him as she knelt down to his eye level, [color=0E59E4]"Peace. I won't hurt you, rather, I seek to offer you advice. Whether you turn yourself into the police or not is not I will watch closely; but if you seek to take honest employment, you're going to need a resume and maybe need to clean yourself up a little.

Anyway, go a library with a computer. You can use a program called Microsoft Word to make a resume, and you can print black and white pages for about 3 cents. Even if you can't be in a Japanese restaurant, there are other seafood places around. Go forth and do no more wrong...I'm pretty sure that's the line..."[/color]

After trying to set the battered wanna-be chef on the straight and narrow, Dimitri chimed in from his Tablet home, [color=3897E0]
Code:
"Your Ladyship, I hate to interrupt, but there is a matter of the hub we need to find? User: Icarus, User: Ella, have either of you spotted a building that would resemble a hub of communications? If I could reach the main network, then I could access the information contained within; and we could be one step further towards our goal..."

Merlin, and Shorn.
Location: Western Ave NW | Washington D.C.
Time: Evening.
The projectile stuck the car as it was driving away, causing the driver to lose control as it impacted against the rear of the car.
As a result, the fat man with the AK fell out of the window he was leaning out of, cracking his skull against the road while his partners tried to regain control.
They weren't successful and before long, they ended up crashing into the living room of one of the suburban homes along the road.
While they had been disabled, there was no telling how much Pierce might have been injured in the process...

Los Angeles: Residential Area: Katya, Ton Ton, Cadolblog, Anyone else

During the period of calm, The Trio inside the restaurant watched as a growing crowd of Gang Members joined the mass outside, most of them most likely heard the commotion and came packing.
Each one of them had the Gang's logo on their person, be it a shirt, a baseball cap or even a tattoo.
Before long, they were able to make out their ring leader (Or at least someone more higher ranking the then others) as he walked along the "No-Mans Land" between his group and the restaurant.
"Yo! Think you can just roll up in here and mess with us?! We run this town! So come on out! We got you PC Elitist pricks surrounded! Come quietly and admit that a PC is just a X-bone without TV!" He ordered the people inside as his gang kept their aim trained on the building before returning to his position, pulling out his phone and calling someone..
Man...Gang Warfare got really pretty over the last decade...

Los Angeles: Apartments: Boss, Edge, Anyone else

The Car was empty, the guy who was driving it bailed out before it sent it off as a kind of projectile.
While their attempts to calm down the locals would have worked, the fact they were asking about Doom and Diabs exactly only put them even more on edge. (No, not that one)
"Oh shit! Fucking Colombians! Diabs was right! They were looking for that metal retard!"
"Dude, Colombians don't stop bullets in mid air!"
"Ain't that Yakuza? Didn't they do that in that film with the computers?"
"OH SHIT! YAKUZA!?! FUCK! YOU GUYS ARE ON YOUR OWN!"
This resulted in more panicked gunfire as the gang mistook Edge and Boss as members of a rival gang, though most of them began to bail as they ran out to their own cars and bikes before attempting to flee the scene, though that left the question of where they were going if they lived here...
I mean, would you mess with Yakuza who had the power to deflect bullets?

Los Angeles: 7/11: Azan, Storm, Clerk, Anyone else

As Storm insulted the goon's constitution stat and threw him at Azan's feet, they began to notice that he was starting to black out slightly, I mean, say what you will about the qaulity of criminals these days (Though I believe they'd been on the downturn since the 80s), but he did take a steel mace to the torso.
"...Hey....ummm....I think he's...really hurt guys..." the clerk pointed out as the goon began to bleed out over the floor.
Meanwhile, when Storm called the Rising Dawn, the first voice he heard was that of a rather irate Violet going on about muffins or something.
"-DON'T YOU TELL ME IT'S JUST A MUFFIN! THEY WERE STARBUCKS CHOCOLATE AND CARAMEL!....*Ahem* Hello, Rising Dawn, Dr. Violet speaking. How can I help you?"

Los Angeles: The Old Rail Yard: Caim, Angelus, Wanderer, Devon, Anyone else

The Dealer was not exactly threatened by Angelus, when you deal with rabid psychos who would tear someone's head off to get their next fix, you wouldn't either.
"Oh...Is that right? or else what, *****?" He said as he shoved her back before pulling out a handgun from his jacket and pointed it at her face.

((Just a bit of fluff to trigger the ambush. :3 ))

Los Angeles: LA Docks: Rugal, Icarus, Teri, Dimitri, Garm, Ella, Anyone else

The would be sea chef then nodded frantically before leaving the scene, both out of fear and just how weird'd out he was of the entire group, he sure as hell wasn't going to try and sell illegal products now!
Meanwhile, Rugal took wind of Ella's tip and quickly realized what was going on.
"There is a deal doing down...Alright, That Hub is by the waterfront, Shouldn't be too much of an issue to sneak into. If you want Teri, I'll take Dimitri and install him. Otherwise I'm going to try and find a way into that Warehouse. Icarus, Ella, Check the rooftops, might be a way in there." He said tot he group as a plan began to form.

Ella meanwhile picked up something as she kept an ear out: [sub]"HEY! Hands off Nitro!"[/sub] she heard a man yell before picking up the sound of a punch landing and a body falling to the ground as well as the clamoring of the dock workers who were eyeing up that motorcycle.
[sub]"Tch! No one fucking touches my bike..."[/sub] The man said as she picked him up walking into the building...

Chris held out her hands slightly as she shook her head. "I've... had vodka before, and it's... handy in mixes, but I prefer something with... more taste if I'm going to drink it straight." Her cheeks darkened again. "I-I didn't mean the drinking itself, more that I... knew more about this world's drinks than I did it's... history or geography, which... isn't exactly how things should go, is it?" She chuckled softly.

She looked back over at Slindis, not seeming terribly startled by her presence. "I... always figured that most of... what happened on Earth was more... technological than magical... it was actually one of the things I... liked hearing about, with my... lack of talent." She sighed softly, before looking back at David. "It... sounds like things are changing, though."

[color=15650D]"Hey, I think we need to talk... I mean, you're a great fighter and everything, that much is clear, but we can't really keep up with fights about consoles or whatever. We started talking to you about Doctor Doom, remember? The bad guy in green and armor."[/color] said Ton Ton from the back of Cadolbolg while Katya was peering through one of the busted windows at the growing group and gank bangers assembling outside of Roscoe's. This group didn't even qualify as a gang with how many people they were bringing to this little soiree. Ton Ton's words brought Katya back to reality.

"B3WP, h0w'z th@t qu3ry g01ng?" The young woman asked the Nano Agent Swarm coursing through her veins.

Code:
"It is completed Little Miss.  It seems that someone already ran the query prior to yours and the results had already been cached.  Results posted on your HUD."
B3WP stated, running the surveillance video that it had found.

"J33z. T@lk @b0ut h3avy m3t@1." Katya murmured getting a view of Doctor Doom's armor. As Ton Ton and Cadolbolg watched, Katya seemed to be making odd gestures in the air as she zoomed in on the RV's license plate and sent it to her phone. Katya had already hacked into every Motor Vehicles Departmental database in the continental United States during her time spent on her hobby so she ran a quick database query for the License Plate and the location to which it had been registered. While she was doing this, she quickly asked B3WP to perform another task.

"B3WP, c0u1d j00 pl33z tr@ck d0wn wh3r3 t3h RV w3nt us1ng t3h CCTV v1d @rch1v3z?"

Code:
"Already on it Little Miss."
"B3WP. I t0ll j00 t0 st0p w1th t3h l1l m1zz cr@p."

Code:
"As I already explained Little Miss.  So long as you continue to speak as a child, so shall I continue addressing you with your childhood title."
B3WP stated before going silent, designating computational resources towards following Doctor Doom's RV.

Turning to the c00t13 br00z3rz, Katya responded to Ton Ton earlier question.

"S0 I f0und s0m3 0ld v1dz 0f j00r D0ct0r D00m." Katya stated, peeking out the windows once again, this time spotting the ring leader of the Gank Squad outside, "H3 wuz @t @ st0r3 4 @ b1t but l3ft 1n @n RV. I'm try1ng t0 tr@ck h1m d0wn us1ng the CCTV @rch1v3z. N0w @z f0r th1s d3b@t3 th@t w3'r3 1n, 1tz @ m@tt3r 0f p3rs0n@l h0n0r. J00 und3rst@nd t3h c0nc3pt 0f h0n0r r1ght, UC@Vz?"

"Yo! Think you can just roll up in here and mess with us?! We run this town! So come on out! We got you PC Elitist pricks surrounded! Come quietly and admit that a PC is just a X-bone without TV!"

"H3y! J00r m0m c@ll3d, sh3'z @sh@m3d sh3 r@iz3d a c0ns0l3 B1TCH! Why d0n't j00 c0m3 h3r3 and @dm1t th@t my PC is 0P c0mp@r3d t0 j00r n00b-@zz c0ns0l3, h0m13! H0w b0ut w3 run b3nchm@rkz b1tch! I b3t my Pc c@n l0ad Skyr1m f@st3r th@n j00r Puss St@t10n c@n g1v3 a r1mj0b!"

Storm, and Azan.
Location: Local 7-11 [http://www.phinneywood.com/images/7-11.jpg] | Inner City | Los Angeles.
Time: Afternoon.
Bringing the phone down for a split second, Storm waved casually, "Don't worry, some authorities will come along to pick him up, they'll patch him right." He said with little concern, yet he was quite worried that they will either be too late, or the man will be out for too long to be questioned. Putting the phone up to his ears, he was glad to hear the voice of Violet, for things were still awkward between his partner.

"Yes, this is Storm. Requesting a evacuation for medical concerns. We apprehended a criminal, he also may know more about the targets." He said over the phone, either hoping for a quick evacuation or someway to help this poor guy. Looking over to Azan, Storm inquired. "Who will carry the guy? I'm more built for speed ... " Storm said to the hulking Commander. The Spartan's thoughts inquired about the mace, and what might have happened if he was lighter with the hit?

Striking it from his mind, his concentration was formed back onto the matter at hand. "In all seriousness, this man is suffering from internal suffering, and surly he must have some information about local crime." Storm said, giving all of his reason for giving the man some help. After all, he isn't like the Doctor who would give up on certain dying humans.

Wanderer, Caim, Angelus, and Devon.
Location: Old Rail Yard [http://img2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20140427023536/gtawiki/images/b/b6/0_0_%2811111%29.jpg] | Inner City | Los Angeles.
Time: Afternoon.
Taking their steps towards the dealer, little did he know that two other members were slowly cornering him as well. Yet, with the sudden appearance of a firearm. "Ah shit, a gun!" Wanderer messaged, almost yelling it out loud. Looking back over to Caim, and seeing the man's arm extended, he bit his lip. "Quickly take the hand! I'll follow up as support, and deal with the aftermath." Wanderer messaged again, and his steps became more quickly.

Knowing Caims' style and concern for his partner, his feet began to move, keeping his faith in his quick draw with a sword, over the bullet of this enemy. Looking up, Wanderer could see the grand image of a warrior, swiftly swinging his weapon at a aggressive extended arm.[footnote]I hope that was good.[/footnote] Little did the warrior know, that after this, Wanderer would have more respect for the mute. Even if he has to deal with a bloody nub, spewing out the crimson liquid he knows well.

Merlin, and Shorn.
Location: Western Ave NW | Washington D.C.
Time: Evening.
The VTOL came to a hover over the home. The first-Advisor looking annoyed at the standing magician. Merlin simply gave a shrug. "This was the easiest path ... on the bright side, I can simply heal the captured man." He said, looking somewhat concerned about the scene. While lowering themselves to the ground, Shorn relayed the information back to the White Crib, soon enough authority should deal with this damage. Surly the information was being quickly tracked to The President, hoping that it will lower his anxiety.

The craft touched down, and the two easily jumped out. Merlin was examining the sight, either out of curiosity of how houses are made in this time, or concern for whoever owns the land. "Keep your eyes open." Shorn said, pulling out a yellow tome with a bolt symbol. His hand also extended out. Merlin gave a nod as he followed him. The two were walking to the car, hoping that the trunk was still closed, and that Pierce was somewhat unharmed.

Merlin, Shorn and Pierce Washington
Location: Western Ave NW | Washington D.C.
Time: Evening.
When the duo went to the car, they found that the remaining occupants were anything but paramilitary.
Hell, They knew who a few of them were, they were members of the press, one of them even was even at a presidential conference less then a few days ago.
They were all groaning as they laid knocked out by the crash while they opened the trunk.
What they found was the communications director, cut up and slightly bruised but very much alive (Albeit in his underware and with a ball gag in his mouth. Goddamn it, Pierce)
When they took the gag out however, he thanked them, stating "Uhhh...Thanks...Just like the boss, playa always liked to make a mess....Please tell me you brought a spare pair of pants..."

Why can't it ever be easy... Edge thought as the car in front of him crashed to the ground.

"Well..." Boss said, jumping off the car. "At least we've found someone who knows who we're asking about. Lots of someone." Boss laced his fingers behind his head and turned to Edge. "Now how do we get them to blab?"

"Why does everyone think I'm fucking japanese?" Edge asked.

"I thought they were talking about your friend Kazuya." Boss said. "They do sound alike."

Edge sighed and shook his head. "Go...chat with some of them. See if any of them are willing to talk."

Boss nodded, and teleported into a car with four men (two of them shirtless) piled in. "HURRY UP!" Boss shouted, beating on the driver's seat. "YOU DON'T WANT THOSE TRIAD BASTARDS TO GET US DO YOU?"

Edge, meanwhile, walked up to a woman carrying a small child with her. "Wait! Please!" Edge said. "I'm not going to hurt you. I just want to know where to find Diabs or Doom. Tell me something, please, anything!"

"Believe me, you probably still know more about this world then half of the people in it. Personally, I'd rather talk with someone who didn't know anything and admit it then someone who knows nothing, but believes otherwise." David answered as he took the flask back right as Slindis returned.
"No harm in some shut eye, Op seemed to be a lazy one thus far. Yet to hear anyone buzz for support so we're good for now." he explained as he did another habit check of his weapon, knowing that his comment about the operation going well was most likely going to jinx them.
On the matter of Mummies and Deserts, he then posed the thought "...Wait...You guys had Mummies too? I thought that was an Egyptian thing?..."
This enlightening David West Thought[sup]TM[/sup] was then broken by Chris's comment about "Lack of talent".
"...Lack of Talent?...thought you Drow-types were like superhuman and shit? I mean, Mel bench-presses more then I ever could."

Los Angeles: Apartments: Boss, Edge, Anyone else

The gang members inside the car were to busy getting the hell out of there to really notice Boss's clever ploy, though he did end up getting smushed in by several Bookies getting into the same car.
"Come on, get to the plant before the Mexicans do!" One of them shouted as they began to burn rubber and raced off to whatever this "Plant" was.

Edge's attempts for info didn't really go anywhere, the woman and her child was far too busy fleeing the scene, so much so that they didn't notice that one of the Bookie's cars was heading straight for them as they crossed the road.
