The President, Wanderer, and Merlin Feat. Dr. Zero
Location: Angel Research Sector | USA: Black Mesa Research Facility
Merlin OST: Fate/Stay Night Emiya (guitar version) [http://www.infinitelooper.com/?v=kVRSWkDTno8&p=n]
The words that came from Doctor Zero's mouth was only a disappointment to Merlin [http://vignette1.wikia.nocookie.net/typemoon/images/9/9d/Merlin.jpg/revision/latest/scale-to-width/1000?cb=20150321223917]. "You think you are a king ... or God. You don't know the place of a magus." He said, wearing his childish smirk, yet his eyes look as if they were focusing upon a failure. Merlin's mind was almost dumbfounded, after all, he did enter the room wearing a dragon tunic and unnatural hair, but he wondered if the Doctor's mind was racing to find out who this challenger is. Then Zero's dark powers began to create.

Remaining unnmoved, even as the creatures of the dark took shape, Merlin looked at them as if expecting more. "Shadow creatures. Not even familiars. I'll give you six points, needs more style though." He said, giving a relieved breath. With the sudden announcement over the intercom, and the capture of his comrades, Merlin seemed to look annoyed. "Yeah ... I'm making that four points now. Does thou have any other power?"

Before the beasts were ordered to tear the magus limb from limb, Merlin breathed normally. Yet with each breath, magic flowed through his body. His magical circuits [http://vignette4.wikia.nocookie.net/typemoon/images/c/c8/MagicCircuits-RN-Shirou.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20121005001836] were slowly raising his power, including the aura that surrounded him. For one who walked along side, and created magic, it was only natural for Merlin to conceal his true power. "Haha. I shalt tell you who I am, if ... You can get me off this seat." Merlin said, nodding to himself. Once that happens, it will be a true fight to him.

The dark beasts leap, towards the magus with intend to rip his jugular and throat. Raising his brow, it was a second before they approached, but a magic circle [http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-uCyls3nvwX8/TlX7klnCV2I/AAAAAAAAAEM/8rfTrIt8xkI/s1600/Nami_Dragon__s_Magic_Circle_by_NamiDragon.png] suddenly appeared below Merlin and his chair. Clicking his tongue with a satisfied smile, before darkness touched his flesh, the flowers below him opened up and thick vines spewed forth, impaling both beasts and tearing them apart.

Even if the flowers missed their attack, the magical circle below was a rather strong but thin barrier. It slowly spun as Merlin looked unsurprising.

"Please, throw something I can't see coming next time."

Johnny Gat and Krizalid Vs. Monsoon.
Location: Old Saints Hideout: Old Stilwater | USA: Stilwater City
As Old Stilwater started to become the site of another disastrous event, Johnny became startled. Yet even through the starting chaos, he immediately went for his goal. "Yeah, we're not going to die." Johnny's smooth voice said out of nowhere, as Monsoon (Or at least his head) was gripped by a vise-like hand. Before any screams or moans were heard, Johnny smiled sadistically. "Don't worry, this won't hurt ... Much." He said before digging his two finger right into both eye-sockets. It was as if he popped two cherries and dug all the moist fruit out.

By the time he was done, a no eyed Monsoon was dangling. "Hey Krizalid!" He yelled, almost wanting to look for the Irishman. Knowing that the man was hard to kill, Johnny flew through the crumbling location, and into the open sky.

"By the time we're done with you, I know several people who'd want to skullfuck you ... And they won't mind the hepatitis."

"Please, throw something I can't see coming next time."

"Well, if you insist..." Zero merely said as his beast's remains sunk back into his shadow, reabsorbing the mass into his own aura.
"There is always something I find amusing about your kind...Of Mages who think themselves above others, that they can't be touched..." The Doctor said as he pulled out a remote from his coat, smirking as he pushed a button on it.
Right on cue, a series of panels on the walls and ceiling began to open up before more of those Power Suppression units from Wesk-..."Birkin's" office began to slide out.
"You will come to eat those words. And I will look forward to dissecting you myself..." Zero laughed as he pulled out a small gas mask [http://cdn.trendhunterstatic.com/phpthumbnails/91/91703/91703_1_230c.jpeg] from his coat and slipped it on, lest he also suffer from the effects of the T-Minus Vapors about to released into the room.
...
At least, that's what would have happened, had the power not suddenly cut out, disabling all the computer equipment and leaving all the unit's half cocked and useless as the torches in the lab provided the only light outside of Merlin himself.
"...Dammit...Must have disabled the Power Supply...No matter, I have other tricks..." He sighed as he took the mask off again before bringing up a dark vortex next to himself and reaching his hand though it, as if searching for something.
"...No...No...Ahhh...There we go...Hope your friend doesn't mind me borrowing this..." He chuckled in glee before pulling out something from the vortex, namely one of Wanderer's Nuke Launchers! [http://vignette3.wikia.nocookie.net/fallout/images/a/ad/Esther.png/revision/latest?cb=20110928235437]
Firing off the cannon at the magician, the force of the mini-nuke blast shattered many of the glass tubes containing many of Zero's "Prizes", resulting in their contents spilling out onto the floor of the lab, alive but still knocked out from their containment.
Reeling a little from the explosion, Zero had a slightly shocked expression on his face as he looked at the weapon.
"...Your friend has good taste..." He laughed before casually lobbing it into another Vortex to return it to his owner.

Once he had done that, he closed his eyes and began to stretch out his arms, siphoning the darkness around him for additional power, just in case Merlin's barrier was able to absorb the force of the blast, he would need to up his game for his next attack.

Black Mesa: Dr. William Birken's Office: Inuart, Albert Wesker Dr. William Birken

The situation was quickly starting to get out of hand, much faster then Wesker would have predicted, it had gotten to the point that he was actively beginning to sweat as the Rising Dawn breached the upper levels.
At least Inuart was going to be able to get out before the base was completely overru-
All of a sudden, the entire room went black as Teri managed to cut the power, leaving the criminal mastermind in quite a bind.
Dammit...By the time I get the defenses back online, they'll be right in my office...grrrr...Have no choice then... He thought as the emergency power supply reached his office, giving him just enough power to relay the following order over the intercom.
"Dr. Breen, report to the Anti-Mass Spectrometer. All base units, make sure the doctor reaches the lab and no one else is allowed in. You wanted to witness the fruits of your theorems, now is the time. All departments, re-route power back into the base's defense grid and Sector C Test Labs. All Non-Base personnel report to the hanger bay for evacuation to the Daedalus aircraft. Ladies and Gentlemen...It's been an honor..."
And with that message sent, Wesker grabbed every watt of power he could muster to try and bring the defenses online in order to enact his final plan...

Back with Inuart, he stumbled along the darkness of the hallways until the emergency lights came on, the shade of dark red that filled the halls REALLY wasn't helping the panicked members of the science team as they all ran for their lives, dragging along family members and whatever belongings they could carry as the distant sounds of explosions and gunfire grew ever closer.
Before too long, he found himself greeted by a pair of the base's soldiers, stating "Sir, Dr. Birkin set up the transport. Keep up, we need to get out before they realize we're using the back door!" Before all three of them ran over to one of the transports, Inuart once again fleeing from the battlefield...

Johnny Gat and Krizalid Vs. Monsoon.

"Wait, no-GAHHHHH!" Monsoon screamed as Gat pried out both of his eyes (Despite the fact only one of them had the critical Eye-Bomb) before the now demonic Gang Banger began to make his exit from the crumbling ruins of his old home.
"OI! WAIT FOR ME YOU DEMONIC WANKER!" Krizalid shouted as he managed to grab onto Gat's leg right before he managed to escape from the collapsing tunnel and into the skies of Stilwater.
The effects of the cave in were soon clear as the entire city block began to fall into the gaping chasm, something the Irishman was keen to put out.
"JAKERS! And you guys fecked ME in jail for property damage?!" He laughed as he punched the air in glee, he lived for this kind of it.
All the while, Monsoon groaned as he was held in Gat's grasp, while he was used to having his head be away from his body, getting his eyes torn out usually wasn't involved.
"So, Mission accomplished, Fly-boy!? Hehah!"

As the doors were breached, and their welcoming party seemed very much less than pleased at the intrusion, ARES couldn't help but notice the Base's inactive defenses, and the fact that from the outside they were getting peppered by aircraft (least those not yet taken care of by Angelus and Cadolbolg) she figured it best also to leap into the fray alongside the tank piloted by Katya and the currently rampaging Dolores. She never was one much to shrink away from a fight anyhow, in the programming you know?

Using her jump jets, she hovered as quickly as she could over to one of the inactive turrets hanging on the ceiling, deciding it best not to get too unreasonably close to where the line of fire would likely be focused (standing to reason on Katya's tank.) Midair, ARES flipped upside down and clung onto the turret with her legs, and not even bothering to charge her plasma cannon, released a salvo of it's fire as fast as the trigger would allow at each of the guards below.

Which is also when the intercom message from Wesker came through the facility.

Intercom said:
"Dr. Breen, report to the Anti-Mass Spectrometer. All base units, make sure the doctor reaches the lab and no one else is allowed in. You wanted to witness the fruits of your theorems, now is the time. All departments, re-route power back into the base's defense grid and Sector C Test Labs. All Non-Base personnel report to the hanger bay for evacuation to the Daedalus aircraft. Ladies and Gentlemen...It's been an honor..."
To this, they made two observations as they slung burning plasma at the grunts below.

Firstly, the power seems to be returning to the base, and focusing on the defenses... which could stall them greatly...

Second, with whatever is going on with "Dr. Breen" and this "Anti-Mass Spectrometer...

"I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but I think our run and gun grabbing of a wanted man just got a hell of a lot shorter time limit! Seems like the power's coming back, and from the sounds of it... I think he's trying to blow the place!!"

She says as she flips down from the turret she had mounted herself on, and gave that a 3 second bolt just to ensure it turns into a pile of scrap, and not one more gun to worry about if and when the power reaches this area of the facility.

Getting behind Katya's tank just in time to see Caim do exactly the opposite she cranked open the side barrel of her Plasma rifle to reload and... well, where she pulled the extra clip from was interesting to say the least.

"If I was in any position to give the Accord a piece of my mind right now, I'd tell them to work on making these damn fusion cores last a little longer..." she says as a compartment opened up in her chest, by the human ribcage to reveal... nothing. Virtually infinite empty space, and even as far as the eye can see, one couldn't peer to the other side to the inside of ARES back. Reaching in, she does however pull out the ammunition she needs and reloads for whatever may come next as the compartment automatically slams shut.[footnote]Basically what's just happened here is that ARES is made of a Crystite hybrid material. Now if you were to launch the Firefall game now, the intro cutscene is completely different, but at ARES' conception, it had actually stated that Crystite was a sort of super material that even drove mankind to accidentally create the melding trying to reinvent space travel to acquire even more of it in very far away meteorites.

The "Biosteel" that ARES is made of is made possible as it is infused with Crystite, and what makes it such a super material is that it has an, and I quote "Impossible Geometry." I interpret this in my characterization of ARES to mean Non-Euclidean... or, impossible to actually exist in a 3-dimensional space. Youtube search the game "Antichamber" for a rather unique way of looking at such a concept. Basically ARES units in my own spinoff (as they in the actual Firefall game are human being mercenaries) are much like that on the inside, and it houses their guns and ammunition.[/footnote]

Black Mesa: Lobby/Research Labs [http://wiki.blackmesasource.com/images//9/9e/BMSBackground11.jpg]: Strike Team Vs. Black Mesa Staff

Katya was no doubt enjoying seeing what the famous "Squish" animation looked like in first person as she drove her tanks right into the middle of the tray, using it's armor to cover the others as well as just wreck shit.
Or in Dolores's case, a jumping board for her own brand of acrobatic combat as she kept her impressive kill streak going.
"SHIT! They got a tank! Now what?!" one of the defenders whined, he was not expecting to have to deal with this when he woke up this morning.
"Hang on, I have an idea!" one of the more stylish [http://vignette1.wikia.nocookie.net/cnc/images/a/ae/TW_Shadown_Team_Concept_Art.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20141020035055] members of the guard said before leaping from the baloney on top of the tank.
Quickly pulling out a c4 charge, he slapped it on the entry hatch before jumping away, rolling to safety before blowing it up.
Now, the damage to the tank itself was pretty minimal, merely knocking the metal latch out of place and making it extremely hard to open, normally or with tools, but it was what the man said afterwards that was troubling: "Hatch is locked, cook the bastard!"
On cue, the Black Hand (AKA the guys with the flame throwers) focused "fire" on the tank, whatever lighter fluid they were using was much hotter then the leading brands as Katya soon began to make out all the metal inside her cockpit starting to turn bright red, making her suddenly wish for a functioning escape hatch...
Well, she would if she was actually in it and not just looking though the FOV of the marine who was actually, man, sucks to be that guy...

Back with Dolores, she did get her wish for someone to stop her when she suddenly found herself being struck in the chest by an unseen force, followed by a series of blows to her face and midsection, all topped up with her head getting trapped inside what seemed to be a pair of thighs before getting flipped over and her skull driven directly into the ground.
As she was getting up, her windpipe was suddenly cut off by a heavy boot as a woman [http://img14.deviantart.net/ff1e/i/2014/329/4/7/nod_commando__tiberium_wars__by_linblack-d87ltf5.jpg] stood over her, her stealth camo deactivating to allow her to get a good look at the gun she had now pointed in her face.
"Nice day for a kill, wouldn't you agree?..." She taunted as she went to pull the trigger, only for Caim's shockwave attack to knock her off her feet, right as the swordsman began to activate his own invisibility.
The emotions of the solders went as followed, surprised to confused to pain and fear to dead as they kept looking around before seeing the person standing right next to them suddenly have their chest explode in a violent fountain of blood.
"Dammit...FALL BACK! I'll deal with you later..." The Commando warned to Dolores before disappearing back into the fog of war.
As the order was given, ARES began to pick off the lucky few that Caim didn't tear apart, rather then getting ripped to shreds by an extremely painful looking sword, they instead got molten hot plasma rip them to shreds. (yay?)

Rugal and Blade meanwhile lead the mainline forces into the lobby behind them, quickly mopping up what few forces remained as the rest of the G-Corp army moved in to secure the room.
"...Alright, I'll admit, that was kinda neat...I-...[sub]could have done it better myself though[/sub]..." Blade murmured under his breath as he moved in with Ton on his shoulder as ARES relayed the following warning.
"I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but I think our run and gun grabbing of a wanted man just got a hell of a lot shorter time limit! Seems like the power's coming back, and from the sounds of it... I think he's trying to blow the place!!"
"Heh...Yeah, that's Wesker for ya..." Rugal slightly smirked to himself, Wesker used self-destruct sequences like a addict, he remembered he wouldn't even visit a base without one.
"Hey, Task at hand please?"
"R-right, sorry. All units, spread out and take the labs. We have a lot of ground to cover and not much time to cover it with. Move out!" Rugal ordered the grunts and the crew as they fell in rank and file into each of the following labs:

Pick whichever one you want your character to go into, the paths will hook up later. Be sure to take a look around, you might find something useful.
Either that or get horribly maimed, one or the other.


This lab was a strange one, upon entering anyone with any sense of magic could feel extremely "Off" by the sheer amount of conflicting auras as they found themselves walking by what looked like a museum of sorts.
Dozens of dark artifacts on display in protective housing, each with a series of warning labels that made it clear that so much as looking at them the wrong way would cause trouble.
There was little to no researchers here, only a Nervous looking man [http://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/devilmaycry/images/7/75/Agnus_DMC4.jpg/revision/20110611082331] fussing over them as every blast and explosion caused the displays to shake slightly, constantly correcting their positions lest one of them fall over.
"Oh curses! At this rate t-t-t-t-t-they'll break everything in here!" He whined before noticing the team enter, nearly falling over in fright before barking out "Who are you?! How did you G-g-g-g-get in here! GUARDS! GUARDS!" He shouted as series of Knights in armor [http://vignette4.wikia.nocookie.net/devilmaycry/images/0/04/Bianco_Angelo.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20120321184414] began to appear, marching towards their enemies like robots, carefully avoiding the displays as they did


You didn't think you'd have a lab ran by Albert Wesker without one of these, did ya?

This lab was used in the creations of both mass produced Tyrants and the numerous biological weapons that had suddenly flooded the market.
All around them were researchers in hazmat suits attempting to open up some of the glass pods to sic the contents on the attackers while a few others were quickly mixing up horrible combinations in vials before stuffing them in their suits pockets, the lack of proper weapons and guards here forced them to get creative if they wanted to stay alive.


The robotics lab was unmanned for the most part, a series of computer programs carefully constructing machines and robots for all the bases and US military needs.
However, it wasn't unguarded in the slightest as several Cyborgs [http://vignette1.wikia.nocookie.net/cnc/images/b/bf/Awakened_CC3_Cncpt1.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20090521024640] marched around in a set pattern around the room, scanning for intruders much like the team.
They were programmed to kill everyone without an ID badge and by god they did their job well...at least when they saw someone.
Their field of vision was limited and the drivers for it had yet to be updated, so say out of their vision and you could literally walk past them.

Back outside on the dam: David, Ryan, Nadalia, Elise, Angelus, Cadolbolg

"....aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaany time now..." David grumbled as he checked his watch, this was taking a fair bit longer then he would have liked as he watched Ryan summon...whatever he was going to summon and taking his sweet time with it.
"...Hey-HEY! You! Yeah, you! Come here!" He shouted to a passing grunt before parking him in place next to the author.
"Guard that guy with your life. I have some ass to kick! HEY WAIT UP GUYS!" He ordered before running off after the rest of the strike team while the poor bastard who replaced him protested fruitlessly.
"Heyheyheyheyhey, no, wait! Don't-....awwww man..." The grunt sadly whined as he looked at the young author slowly gather enough power to summon his "Champion".
"...Man, why me?..."
With nothing else really to do, the grunt pulled out a cigarette and had a smoke while waiting on Ryan to finish.

Running towards the rest of the group, then stopped in his tracks when he saw Elise seeming to have a little bondage party with some of the enemy's forces.
"...Hey, Not-So-Black Widow, mind if we leave the kinky stuff for the after party?...Just-ummm..." He stammered as he pointed to the dog fight going on in the sky above them.
"...Time and place for everything, you know?"
"GO DIE IN HELL, GDI SCUM!" one of the guards shouted before spitting at Elise before his friend corrected him
"They aren't GDI! GDI don't have fucking dragons! Or freaky giant spiders! Besides, they dress in yellow."
"Don't worry guys, Kane will save us!"
"Oh Jesus Christ don't go on about "Our lord and Savoir Kane"! We're about to fucking die and I don't want to die listening to that bullshit again"
"You dare question the Tiberium Prophet!?"
"....Urg...I mess Area 69...."

Their conversation was cut short by Nadalia crashing one of the remaining VTOLs in the air right into the valley, landing nearby to the Sniper as he said "...Huh...guess that's one way of doing it...I'm heading inside to back up the others. Either follow me or keep the skies here clear. Kaz only has so many VTOLs he can send to bring in more men, the more they take down, the less re-enforcement we'll get. Give them hell, Nadalia!"
After that brief exchange, he resumed his run across the dam, passing by Faith as he did.
"We're moving inside, Keep up the good work Jenny."
"...My Name is Faith!"
"WHATEVER! Worry less about what I call you and more not to getting shot!" he said before running inside with another squad of G-Corp soldiers.

Back in sky, Angelus's and Cadolblogs efforts were doing much to counter the Black Mesa air-force, even doing so far to discourage any backup units to be sent in as the enemy VTOLs began to retreat, clearing the way for more landing teams of Kazuya's as they regrouped by the landing zone before making their way into the base over the ruins of the aircraft she had already taken down.
As they were matching on however, there was something coming from the west as the red dragon noticed a great deal of dirt being kicked up by something moving rather quickly towards them.
She soon found out what they were when half a dozen NOD Attack bikes [http://vignette1.wikia.nocookie.net/cnc/images/2/28/CNCTW_Attack_Bike.gif/revision/latest?cb=20080623190505] suddenly roared on the scene.
Quickly splitting up, 3 of the bikes then began to hunt down C-Corp VTOLs with SAM rockets while the others proceeded to target the dragon herself, repeatedly jumping from one side of the valley to the other and launching homing missiles in mid air at the dragon before landing and moving in for another attack, constantly moving at high speed.

Edit: Katya wasn't in the tank, sorry ^^;

Black Mesa: Demonology lab: ARES, Guards, researcher

Upon arriving to the demonology lab, ARES was surprised that one of the scientists was still actually trying to work at his position given current circumstances. The labels on practically everything around gave her a bit of concern using her more... explosive abilities. Well... Kazuya did say that we were free to use other means to subdue the researchers... diplomacy gets people killed more often than fighting where I'm from, but... not knowing where the hell Wesker is could be solved easy if people are willing to talk for a damn change.

Trying to take the least intimidating approach she could (easier said than done given her armor lending quite an imposing exterior) she hovered a few feet away from him before asking *ahem* "pardon me but-"

"Oh curses! At this rate t-t-t-t-t-they'll break everything in here!" He whined before noticing the team enter, nearly falling over in fright before barking out "Who are you?! How did you G-g-g-g-get in here! GUARDS! GUARDS!"

"AH HELL! CAN'T WE EVER JUST TALK THINGS OUT!" she said as the almost mechanically trained guards filed into the room, and she dived behind a unit of shelving, for cover.

"DAMNIT WE'RE NOT HERE FOR A BLOODBATH! Your boss is a wanted man, he's been hiding here on the government payroll for who knows how long and shit WILL hit the fan if we don't get him in custody and find the person he's working for! This Birkin guy's real name is Albert Wesker, if that's anyone you'd know." she tried to explain as she nevertheless started to ready her plasma cannon, but had a far more insidious idea to get them to back off, taking whatever two items were closest on the shelving in both hands and hoisting them over her head.

"We can talk this out, or we can find out what happens when this "Demonology" BS breaks to splinters, your call Doc. Also, if you feel any loyalty to the bastard, you may want to put it in your notes that your still working here while he's intending the whole base to self destruct right now... just for the record."

Avatar Adventure | The Rising Dawn | Black Mesa Lobby
Bada Big Boom!!!!

Looking at the signs that pointed towards various areas within the complex, Katya tried to make a quick decision. As cool as it would be to see what was in the demonology lab, she felt rather inadequate having no understanding in magic outside of card tricks. This left the Biological Weapons lab, which meant horrible horrible stuff was there. Most Bio Weapons labs would have contained stuff that was mutated and deformed, stuff that didn't really pique the interest of someone who was decidedly more modern. The main interest that Katya had in that lab was to see the sort of stuff that she'd be seeing in Splatter Horror flick.

This left the obvious choice, Robotics. Katya had the feeling that this was the sort of place where her talents could be put to good use what with Cyborgs, Unmanned Automated Robotics Research and anything of the sort. Sighing to herself, Katya headed towards the Robotics lab and was greeted by the sight of cyborgs roaming the perimeter of the lab. They were, of course, roaming about with a purpose, walking in the same sort of preset routines that the Rising Dawn's haxxxor would expect someone with a limited imagination in the way of setting up patrol routes would have taken. There was no visual redundancy and there existed several blind spots at any one time.

Even with this, it would still be near impossible to take the remainder of her infested grunts through without being spotted. This of course meant a more hands on approach. Pulling out her mobile, she started locking in on the nearest wifi router, hacking before establishing a firewall.

It seemed that the cyborgs were in desperate need of an updated driver's package. If Katya had time, she'd have updated the drivers so that anyone appearing in front of the Cyborgs appeared as a scientist with the proper access. Instead she did something else. She took the existing driver's packages and updated the visual range of each of the cyborgs to a couple inches in front of their nose before uploading it to the facility's mainframe for distribution to the bots.

Waiting for a couple of minutes, the Haxxxor sent out one of her grunts to test the visual acuity of the bots, hoping that the bots had finished installing the packages.

Paradigm Story | A New Beginning

Ruby smiled brightly at the arrival of her sister, Irina Rostikova. Like Selmy the memory was hazy at first but soon enough, the young girl was able to recognize the woman that was her sister. She gave her sister a sisterly hug around the hip, glad to see her.

"Hey big sis! Where'd you go? You're late for dinner!" Ruby said in a familial manner, some sense of concern overcoming her mind as she took her sister's hand, leading her in the direction of home. Danger would be there sooner or later and the little girl wanted to be clear of the area before the Murakumo units appeared. A darker part of Ruby's mind told her that it might not be such a bad thing for the Units to appear and for Selmy to be cut down in the cross fire as she almost had been the first time around.

"No!" The young girl with the Black and White hair yelled loudly, startling the two older ones that escorted her. Looking at the two embarrassed, Ruby held out her hand to Selmy's, "We can't leave yet until Miss Selmy holds my hand."

"So Miss Selmy. Did my big sissy say that you watch Anime? Which ones? I watch it too, whenever I'm not practicing my... Ars... violin. Sometimes my mommy tells me that it's too adult for me but she doesn't know that I sneak watch it sometimes." Ruby prattled as the trio started walking once again, under the night sky that was filled with cold stars.

Merlin [http://vignette1.wikia.nocookie.net/typemoon/images/9/9d/Merlin.jpg/revision/latest/scale-to-width/1000?cb=20150321223917] Vs Dr. Zero.

Witnessing the foreign weapon launch at him, the Master Magus smirked. "Hmm, interesting." He hummed, not interested in the weapon, but the fact that Zero used it. Before the bomb struck, Merlin cocked his head. "Not entirely a magician, heh." He said and began to stand from his chair. Suddenly, the explosion engulfed him. The firely flames licking all around him, and burning the flowers below to ash. The force even threw the stone chair across the room, smashing it to pieces against the dark walls. When Zero gave back the weapon to darkness, he could hear a slight voice. "[sub][sub][sub]Fuck you![/sub][/sub][/sub]"

The smoke faded away, and Merlin stood still, remaining with a smile. If Zero remembered where he stood, the magician gave no inch apart from leaving his beloved chair. "Infinite surprises. It is certainly good to be me." He said, remembering the many weapons, characters, and events that his adventures gave him. "Ah, well a promise is a promise." He said before giving a Courteous bow. Internally, Merlin reminded himself that it was a more deadly promise to this man.

"My name is Merlin of Camelot. Magus, advisor, and friend to he-" He said, suddenly stopping before smiling. " ... His majesty, King Arthuria. Now, where was I?" Merlin introduced, his smile becoming more cold. The magus started to breath deeply, and the approaching Zero suddenly noticed the walls, they were covered with magic circles. More than hundreds. Most he did not know, and to his surprise, some he knew very well. From what he could tell, many kinds of magic gathered in this room, and the man in front of him was master of each one.









Merlin opened his eyes, and the gaze he gave was one of a Legendary Magician. "Now excuse me, I believe it is a bit drab in here." He said before raising his hand. Before Zero could move any further, a strong force pushed him and a blinding light flared throughout the room. It cleared within a second, yet for some reason, natural light started flowing into the room. The legendary Magician was standing on top of a heap of rubble, and right above him was a large hole in the roof, leading right up to the outside.

The sun glared down upon the two, yet Merlin smiled brightly with it. His white hair now glowed with rainbow colours. "Ah, much better."

Johnny Gat and Krizalid Feat. Head of Monsoon.
Location: Stilwater City Sky
As the duo and head flew away, Gat looked back at the fallen city block. "Eh, its happened before. Still, there were some good stripper poles in that place." Gat said with a tad of sentiment. Looking forward he increased flying speed with his burnt angel wings. "To be honest, I thought you already got out, heh." He said, looking forward at the sun. "Once we're done, I think we could make this guy a good football." Johnny said, shaking the head of Monsoon.

The three then made their way back to the White Crib, at least they finally got some good news.

(There should be more ... I think? ^.^')

Selena Was on her broom in her own spherical barrier keeping a birds eye view on the battle and looking up to watch the fight in the sky. She spent her time studying Magic, Mainly so she could take control of any situation. She tried to keep control a fruitless effort perhaps but since the Fire..... She wouldn't risk it.
She kept a special eye out if anyone might need her help.

Austin Texas: Icarus
As Icarus moved He reached for his flask he took it out to take a long drought, The blood rushed into his head, that's when he realized A, His wings were out and visible, and B, There was a group of 5 men walking up to him and he counted at least three base ball bats two chains and about 16 guns. He immediately made his wings disappear and carefully ducked into a small alley.
"Hey Boy Did I see you have a pair of Black Wings?"
"I'm sorry did You ask If I had wangs?" He asked not used to listening to people with such strong accents.
The men came forward.
"I don;t like your attitude, We'll fix that up real fast." They advanced on him

Icarus left the alley with a Black wide brimmed hat, Checking hid device he would need to blend in, better a short stop to a small clothing store and he was soon wearing a light blue work shirt, a leather vest, dark boot cut jeans and shiny black cowboy boots.
"now wheres that Gosh Darn door." He said trying to mimic the Southern drawl.

Dolores Selmy

The world was fading around me. I can't breathe, choked out by my own anguish. Oedad i lisce.[footnote]Foreign sounding gibberish I came up with that sounds nice to say. Based in Kajiuran.[/footnote] Words are ringing in my head. Iammus tresi es youme. Damn, I... I just want to curl up and cry. The ash, the dust, it won't let me. Why did this happen? Ioque len yemme tribus te. Two strong arms pull me up. Armored, scaled mail. I recognize this. It's Azan. Liye i yesse non Assan alonye.

"Girl are you okay?" he asked. His voice was gruff. Rubble and dust were still settling around us. He had his visor up so I could see his face. A big fat black mustache and small squinty eyes. He had skin like old leather and a worried frown like a pug. He looked so out of place I would have laughed if my body would let me.

Miese mossenen issate i sewos. Sa sa sa sa.

"..." I guess my answer wasn't very eloquent. Hase lu ai nen lomme. What can I do?

Azan set me on my feet. He looked at me with a mix of concern and pity. I guess I wasn't in the best of shape. My hands are grasping aimlessly at my side. Ubi yolede soena Belwerk sem. Bolverk is gone. Then why can't I control my body?

The girl smiles, "I'm fine. Thanks for your help." Its like I'm lost outside of my body, looking at a stranger controlling me. "This will do fine." She brings her hands up and opens and closes them, stretching out her fingers.

"I never go your name," Azan said suddenly, "I do not wish to continue to refer to you as 'the maiden,' since it is most rude."

The girl licks her lips and touches my upper lip with my finger. I could feel the cold wetness on my own hand. "You can just call me Lieutenant." Asho fi tende ca se, immowo tien se. Seh seh seh.

The Lieutenant turns and heads toward the bio-weapons lab, a sick gleam in her blue eyes. Startlingly so, eyes as cold and still as ice. I thought... I thought my eyes were green. Yon miam. This voice... it's talking to me!? Hye. This is insane! Me yon miam katte!

"Manifest: Soul Eater! Blood-Scythe!"


The Lieutenant pulled the sword-revolver-scythe from nothingness and brought it to bear, running down the hall and bursting into the bioweapons lab. The scientists gawked at the young woman. Her eyes were filled with a venomous fire. "You know," she said softly, transforming the greatsword into it's scythe-form, "I always had a bone to pick with you organization-types." Her voice had taken a deeper, more guttural timbre.

Who is this person who keeps using my body!? Molli... help me...

Monsters rose in front of the Lieutenant and struck out, malformed beasts, some retaining shreds of their humanity, others wer never human to begin with. Blood-Scythe fell fast and furious, like a whirling torrent. The air around the lieutenant was a river of blood. The searing near-magic blade of the scythe tearing apart the bodies of the mutants that rushed at her, drawing their anger and confusion into her soul, restoring her previously damaged vitality.

"Hah, let's destroy everything! This feels so good, it feels too good!" The monster with the scythe was lost in her bloodlust. "Allow me to deliver you," the Lieutenant smiled unnaturally, "from the fetters you call lives!" Bring me more, more violence, more hatred. Feed my hunger!

No, please. Don't. I can't control myself, I can't control myself! Someone! Someone please realize! This isn't me! This isn't me!

She Who Would be God
Chapter: 7 - Fate Reforged
Kindle not the fire you cannot extinguish.
The Storyteller's Wife

"And if was a cold night indeed. Northern California was often hot in the autumn, but the chill of night could sneak up and nip at you before you know it.

Though what little starts that could be seen shone starkly against the dark of the sky. They seemed ever so lonely. There was a soft glow, red and blue, lighting faintly passing clouds and far horizons. The nature the sky had been slowly destroyed by the pollution of humanity's light.

It was on that night, in the deep quiet when everyone was asleep that something extraordinary happened.

Little Ruby posed a question to Dolores Selmy, and the older girl froze up.

"The anime... I watch..." Selmy said weakly. Her eyes seem to grow distant and despite the chill of the night small beads of sweat started to appear on her forehead. Her grip tightened around little Ruby's hand. "I can't... seem... to recall at the moment." She paused for a significant moment before continuing, "I can't think of a single thing I've watched. Yet I have this feeling that I'm intimately acquainted with many, many shows."

"Ah don't be silly," Irinia said with a toothy grin. She placed her hand on Selmy's back and pressed her onward, "weren't you telling me the other day about that one show that was actually pretty good? You called it 'dungeon' or something. 'Hestia is bestia?' any of that sound familiar?"

Selmy shook her head and placed a hand on her temple, massaging it lightly, "I don't... think so."

Irinia stopped smiling, "Hey Dolly, are you okay? You seem really out of it right now."

"It's just that... I feel like, something... should be happening right about no-"

There was a red-black sword suddenly sticking out of Selmy's stomach. It was coated in her slick blood, steaming in the night air. Selmy was silent, shocked, before falling to her knees.

Code:
[color=yellowgreen]"Target neutralized, beginning deployment of Combat Petals. Lux Sanctus: Murakumo activated, Unit No.11 Lambda is now engaging auxiliary targets."[/color]
Selmy turned to look at Ruby and Irina. Her eyes were wide and filled to bursting with tears. As she fell to the floor completely she prayed with the last breath that ebbed in her breast, leaking out simultaneously from her punctured diaphragm as well as her throat, "why..."

Lambda was floating behind them, eight solid-petals deployed and two dimensional summoning portals invoked in front of her. Her mouth was a resting frown, and her smooth child-like face betrayed no emotions.

At this point Irina dropped all pretenses of her masquerade,
Code:
"Primary host, form up!"
The existence of another Bewp was a little bit baffling to the original standing a short distance away from the young-woman turned nano-machine warrior however, there was little time to think as red-black exotic matter blades materialized and flung themselves at the two 'sisters.'

Zero was less then impressed when Merlin managed to block his attack, even less so when he began to plant his magic runes all over the place, they slashed with the color scheme he had picked out.
And don't even get him started on the fact he cleanly removed part of the roof, letting in the light as well as the noises from the battle raging outside.
"...Well...I heard our Presidents administration compared to a monarchy, but I didn't think he went that far..." He snarked as the shadows soon retreated, depriving him of his power source, but even then, he had an idea as he looked at the slowly stirring bodies of the Dark Angels he had captured.
"Hm...If we are giving demonstrations, then how about this?..." He laughed before bringing his arms crossed over his chest and concentrating, his aura leaking off his body.
It was then that something strange seemed to happen, his entire body began to reform into something else...or rather someone else as a pair of dark wings began to unfold.

Sending out a dark burst of energy, he revealed his new form: That of the Dark Angel Tomoya!?!?
"Not sure if you took part in the war, but I was known for turning the tide of battle using merely the charisma of our enemy against him. I'm told it's quite the likeness. Some of the subjects you see here gladly turned themselves in when I told them to. Speaking of..." He explained before summoning up a red lighting bolt (Well, at least some kind of lesser magic that still looked like it), a noise that awakened the other Dark Angels, making them all cower in fear.
"YOU! OBEY YOUR MASTER AND TEACH THIS FALSE IDOL THAT ALL WILL BOW BEFORE THE DARK ANGEL TOMOYA!" He roared at them, quickly causing them to forget they were just held in captivity for the last...god only knows how long and quickly summon up their swords from their remaining magic stores before taking flight and attempting to attack the Mage.
All the while, Zero/Dark Tomoya began attempting to re-seal the lab by caving in the tunnel Merlin had made, keen to regain the darkness it would bring.

Austin Texas: Icarus

With his..."Disguise", Icarus was able to make his way closer to where the vault door was located, but...something began to feel off...
[color=6c1504]"-One Vison...One Purpose...Peace. Though. Power. Peace! Though! Power! PEACE! THOUGH! POWER!"[/color] one of the nearby radios began to shout out, causing the entire crowd to begin to do the same.
"PEACE THOUGH POWER! PEACE THOUGH POWER! PEACE THOUGH POWER!" They robotically shouted, only when Icarus looked, he saw that he himself was joining in!
He could watch himself shouting it over and over, but all feedback to his body was gone as it felt like someone else was controlling him, only when the speech was over was he able to move again.
Right after that episode, the man in control of the loud speaker then re-winded the speech to the very beginning before resuming his hate-baiting, might want to get to the vault before the next occurance of Vega's mind control kicked in...

Merlin OST: Fate/Stay Night Emiya (guitar version) [http://www.infinitelooper.com/?v=kVRSWkDTno8&p=n]
Examining the look upon Zero somewhat surprised him, after all, many worlds saw Merlin as a large threat, or even tried to eliminate him for his largest power. "Hmm, not so concerned I see. I am but a myth here." Merlin mused to himself, talking about this world's knowledge about him. "You shall see." He spoke with a grim tone, but still with a smile that could break any maiden's virtue.

Then suddenly, Zero changed himself to another form, one that Merlin did not know well, but he certainly knew about it in one way. It was a enemy from recent history, one who is still hated by world and former comrades. Yet the veil was lifted in Merlin's eyes, there was more to this story, and that person only wanted his own goal to be fulfilled, for love. It was something he could examine for a short second, but it was an intriguing story. Surprisingly, Merlin laughed at the changed Zero as he awakened the former holy beings.

"Is this your power, to steal another's?!"
"Hah, tis a joke and disgrace upon your class!"
"But I guess the light will forcefully change that lie." Merlin said with a now threatening smile. Remembering one of the more ruthless but great Kings of the past, Gilgamesh, who called a certain unique character a "fake". Hmm, you did have some merit Gil, but that boy beat you. Merlin thought, giving a better smile once remembering where that boy has gone.

"Ah my King, what a lovely partner you chose, and what a lovely day it was!" Merlin said out loud, certainly a confusing thing to say in front of this fake Angel. Yet this battle once again became serious as another large magic circle [http://pre08.deviantart.net/a612/th/pre/f/2011/057/3/1/element_crest___water_by_osric90-d3afsuc.jpg] was summoned. This time, right below Merlin as he stood upon the large pile of rubble. Closing his eyes, Merlin's voice boomed throughout the room, and his aura reached impossible levels for a simply mage. Now it even seemed that the room was being invaded by light even more.

"Friends, comrades, I call for you from where you sleep. From within history, from within books, and from within legends. I call you here so you may serve one last time within the light of life. I do not only call for the Knights of Camelot, I call for figures of history itself.."

"The one who looked over the King [http://vignette1.wikia.nocookie.net/typemoon/images/c/c3/Bedivere_front.png/revision/latest?cb=20130531223623]"
"The one who betrayed the King [http://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/typemoon/images/0/0b/Zero_berserker.png/revision/latest?cb=20121211184806]"
"The White Knight of the King [http://vignette3.wikia.nocookie.net/typemoon/images/8/82/Saber_extra.png/revision/latest?cb=20130726175824]"​

Three large figures were summoned right next to the magus. Each equally powerful and imposing.​

"Come here and serve me. For her."
[HEADING=3]"King's Call!"[/HEADING]​

With those final words, it seemed that more spirits of Knights were summoned, with enough to match the Dark Angels. Merlin stood on the rubble, looking down upon them. Each look confused, but stood their ground as the Dark Angels hit the outer lines. "I apologize to you, friends. I will tell this, our King rests in a dream. Her wish ... No, miracle granted by love. I am here so it may not be disturbed." The Magus said naturally. Beginning to look upon the three larger than life figures, Merlin smiled more honestly.

"Bedivere, Lancelot, Gawain. You know what this means?" He said, and the three only looked at each over and nodded. Turning away each of their voices bellowed.
[HEADING=3]"For the King!"[/HEADING]

With that, they turned around and became the main force of the group. Looking at Zero, Merlin smiled, one that was colder than any frost that he had felt in his human life. That was when a small, white ball began to grow within Merlin's hand, which was raised towards the hole in the roof. The two both knew that this thing would blow the roof off this place.

Needless to say, things weren't really going in the Dark Master's favor was Merlin seemed to have far more power then Zero could have imagined as he managed to summon up a series of figures to fight for him, quickly getting rid of his Dark Angel lackeys.
To make matters worse, the Mage then seemed to be charging up for one last final attack, something that seemed to be able to render this entire sector off the face of the ear-
"...Impressive...I yield..." The Dark Master then said before reverting back to his normal form, his hands slowly moving behind his head as he went down on his knees, doing his very best to show that he was surrendering.
"I underestimated your power, you are truly who you say you are...I will concede defeat this day to ensure I live another..." He politely said before pressing one of his hands against the floor, a small weak dark pulse, barely enough to knock over a flower, towards the bodies he had drained of their souls.
There was only slight movements at first as their lifeforce began to return to them, but before long, the entire president's guard was back on their feet, wondering what the hell had happened.

Speaking of the president, him and Wanderer were too freed as a small dark portal opened before Merlin, dumping the two of them out of whatever shadowy void Zero had trapped them in.
"I now offer myself into your custody, all I ask if your mercy in staying your hand. I now know I cannot win..." He said as he waited to be arrested...
...
...
...This is TOO easy...

Black Mesa: Biology Lab [http://www.conceptart.org/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=1472587&stc=1&d=1335972646]: Dolores, Selmy, Anyone else

Dolores going all rampage mode on the minor experiments the researchers here had freed didn't make them think to highly of their odds to stay alive, seeing how she just stabbed her way past over 100 million dollars in cell-reconstruction research.
The men in hazmats suits began to confusingly motion at each other, unable to say much to each other in those thick suits as they tried to figure out a way to slow down the attackers while the bigger monsters they had cooked up woke from their containment.
One brave soul marched forward out of cover before pouring the contents of a large yellow beaker of..."Something" on the ground in from of him.
Recoiling a little from the gunfire whisking over his head, he pulled out another blue test tube, yanking the cork off it like some kind of frag before smashing it on top of the gunk he had already poured.
A violent chain reaction occurred as he ran away, the two mutagens mixing together into some kind of Slime monster [http://i1085.photobucket.com/albums/j431/GoldenDarkness22/Creatures-Slime_monster.jpg], rapidly absorbing and corroding everything it touched as it slid forward along the ground, eating up G-Corp lead like popcorn as it then leap up in the air and tried to assimilate Dolores.

All the while, another daring researcher pulled out a violet colored beaker before shaking it several times and throwing it in the groups path, igniting like a firebomb on impact with a white benzene flame to try and slow them down as his friends took a crowbar to a pod containing a rather Nasty looking creature [http://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/residentevil/images/8/8f/T0400tpresidenteviltheumbrellachronicles_2.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20100915012953].

Black Mesa: Demonology lab [http://vignette1.wikia.nocookie.net/killerinstinct/images/f/f8/Forbidden_Archive.png/revision/latest?cb=20150226170333]: ARES, Guards, researcher, Anyone else

The guards marched on in rehearsed movements around the displays until they realized that ARES was threatening far more then just their lives, something that made Agnus EXTREMELY nervous.
"STAND DOWN! STOP! ALL OF YOU!" He ordered to his guards as they froze on the spot, stuck mid animation.
"Why you-....Do you have any id-did-did-did-did....IDEA WHAT THAT COULD DO!? Nevermind Black Mesa, you could put the entire world in Peril!" He shouted at ARES as another nearby blast caused the room to shake, namely causing a Egyptian looking urn to wobble off the edge of it's display...
A look of sheer terror appeared globally amoung the staff, you wouldn't think an expressionless helmet could have such a fearful look on it's face as it suddenly dived towards the display, managing to grab the urn before it hit the ground.
A collective sigh of relief filled the room as the armor put it back, right next to the sign that said:

[THREAT LEVEL: OMEGA: INTELLIGENT ORGANISM WITH ARCANE POWER (IMMORTAL): DO. NOT. OPEN]

"...Look, You t-t-t-t-think that I'm going to sell out the one man who t-t-t-t-t-t-trusted me?! Oh, I know who Albert Wesker is and D-d-d-damned if I'm going to let you make me un-emp-emp-emp-employed...GET HER!" He then ordered his armors before a new threat emerged.
A series of strange Sword/bird demons [http://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/devilmaycry/images/6/67/Gladius.gif/revision/latest?cb=20090503183648] flew into the room, effortlessly dodging all the displays before moving in on ARES and the group, attempting to impale them mid flight as they turned from winged creatures to large swords at will.

Black Mesa: Robotics Lab [http://www.ontarget3d.com/site/images/thumbs/0001662.jpeg]: Katya, Anyone else

After the patch went out, the possessed marine marched right into the middle of the room, "Sneaking" on his tippy toes as much as a man in power armor could.
The Cyborgs walked on in their set patterns, unaware that the marine was even there, even as he leaned over and waved his hand in front of the robot's face as it trudged right past him, the patch seemed to have worked.
But as some of Katya's group and the G-corp men following them went into the room, she soon saw another universal driver update begin to start downloading.
All the cyborg's eyes flashed for a moment before they then opened fire on the incoming soldiers, forcing them back out of the room with their particle beams.
As this was going on, production began to start back up again, while the security measures were still depowered, there seemed to be enough reserve power to turn back on the assembly line.
A pale human body went into the machine, there was some sparking and blood splatter then a brand new NOD Cyborg[sup]TM[/sup] popped right out before joining it's brothers in battle.

And just as insult to injury, Katya got a new alert on her social media feed:


Back outside on the dam: Ryan, Nadalia, Elise, Faith, Angelus, Cadolbolg Vs NOD Attack Bikes

Nadalia's bold move against the drive-by units didn't go un-noticed as two of the drivers watched their brother fall to his flaming end at the bottom of the valley.
However, there was a slight issue as there were more bikes then Nadalia was aware of, something that became rather clear when all of a sudden a volley of missiles began to rain down on top of her from the 3 bikes that were previously out hunting VTOLs.
One of them made an extremely ballsy move when he drove off the mesa and right onto the dam itself, using the bikes front mounted guns to carve his way though the G-Corp reinforcements, racing past the Iron Queen as he did, she could barely make out him sticking up the middle finger to her though the dust and smoke all this focus fire did.
The driver was about to turn around and go for another attack run when he noticed a certain Gardevoir attempting to get to cover, nursing a wounded shoulder.
With evil intent, he then popped a wheelie before racing towards the Pokemon, aiming to smear her brains all over the blood stained tarmac.

Black Mesa: Lobby/Research Labs [http://wiki.blackmesasource.com/images//9/9e/BMSBackground11.jpg]: Strike Team Vs. Black Mesa Staff

Cyborgs - Caim, Katya

Caim charged headlong into a random direction, which found him in the company of one 1337 HaxX0r and her small retinue of undead cyber zombies. What Caim also took note of was the varying guards, as well as what appeared to be Katya sending on of them headlong into their lines of sight. With a confused expression on his face, the warrior pointed to Katya's troop walking along the corridor, his expression clearing giving question as to what was going on; further aided by the gesture towards his blade.

However, before any further negotiations could be gained, the sound of ripping and tearing filled the air (a sound that Caim was more familiar with creating, rather than hearing), and the cyborgs began to reactivate, alongside an awakening assembly line; seeming to create more of their enemy. With a growl, Caim tapped into the Weapon Wheel and pulled a different weapon [http://lparchive.org/Drakengard/Update%2014/24-crimsonhood1.jpg], replacing Swordsmasher in it's place before turning charging into the fray, his PDA shouting,
Code:
"Cut off that machine, it'll only create more of them! I'll hold them off in the meantime!"
Following this statement was a hefty slice of the ax that Caim had summoned, leaving a nice gash in his opponent, as well as a solid force between him and the 1337 haxX0r.

Demonology - ARES, Blade, Ton Ton

As the group began to advance inward, Ton Ton felt a shiver run up his spine, something instinctual pulling within the core of his being to go towards a different direction from Caim's. Pointing in the direction of the Demonology Lab, Ton Ton's gaze grew steely as he called to the Pokemon acting as his perch, [color=15650D]"That way, please. I sense Daemons afoot."[/color]
"'Demons'..? Geez, Ghost types always give me the creeps."

With a hustle on the Grovyle's part, Ton Ton and Blade found themselves with ARES, who was attempting to reason with the nervous doctor inside, while a group of possessed armor-like beings began to advance towards them. The nagging sensation Ton Ton had felt prior intensified, like a slimy sort of sensation began to wash over him. Ton Ton could best describe it feeling almost as if he was dipped in oil, but it was clear to one thing - the very beings that he was meant to combat, whatever sort of variety existed here, seemed to permeate the very room. Drawing his knife and his lantern, the little creature practically vibrated on his perch as he gave his battle cry, [color=15650D]"BEGONE FROM HERE, DAEMONS! I WILL SEND YOUR ILK BACK TO THE SHADOW!"[/color]

Leaping from Blade's shoulder, Ton Ton angled his descent onto one of the blade-birds, and brought his knife down on any bits he could manage. From what Blade could see of the Tonberry, his usual calm demeanor had disappeared, and became something more akin to a certain other sword wielder....

Bridge/Lobby - Garm, Rugal, Teri
Teri landed on Garm in a small heap, weakly waving her hand to dismiss the eagle from her summoning. With the Cleric safe and sound, Garm couldn't help but notice that his rider was now shaking, the sound of sniffling filling the air. With a concerned whine, Garm began to hurry back to the entrance of the Lobby, wanting to get as far away from the fire fight as possible, while calling over his shoulder, [color=356D60]"Tear-ri, are you hurt?"[/color]
[color=0E59E4][small]"They died right in front of me... And I couldn't do anything..."[/small][/color]
[color=356D60]"Tear-ri, I- ... Let's just get you to Alpha Rugal, okay? This firestorm is no place for either of us!"[/color]

With a hurried gait from the faithful wolf, Garm skidded to a halt in front of Rugal, giving a whine to get the King of Fighters attention, [color=356D60]"Alpha... I need your help."[/color]
The man himself was busy guiding the G-Corp reinforcements to their staging areas when Garm showed up, looking at the wolf before asking "Why? Is there something wron-..." He didn't finish when he saw the state that Teri was in. "...are you alright, dear?..."
Teri blinked slowly upon hearing her father's voice, and softly whispered the same thing she told her wolf, [color=0E59E4][small]"The VTOL... They died right there, and I did nothing."[/small][/color]

Garm weakly spoke up at this point, another whine prefacing his speech, [color=356D60]"I saw the whole thing. When the VTOLs picked up Tear-ri after the thing with the water elemental, some big flying metal things shot it down. Tear-ri had to summon a magic bird to catch her and bring her to land. She's been like this since. I dunno what to do - I can't even hear the angry voice."[/color]

"...Damn...." Rugal sighed, even after all her training and all the battles they were in, Teri was still only human. Taking her off her mount and placing his hands on her shoulders, he then explained "Listen...I know it's hard, but I need you to be strong right now. We are not going to let their deaths be in vain, do you understand?..."

Alongside Rugal's attempt at rousing the Cleric back to functionality, Garm nuzzled his partner's shoulder, gently asking, [color=356D60]I know we say you need to be honest about your feelings and things in general, but Alpha Rugal's right. You can cry on my fur when everything's over, okay?"[/color]

A tense silence overtook the three for what felt like ages, before the Cleric began to blink in response. Gently patting her face with both hands in an attempt to refocus, her Aura flared up again and she spoke properly, clinging gently to Garm's side as she pushed herself back into the fight, [color=0E59E4]"R-Right... Is anyone hurt? What's the current situation?"[/color]

"We are moving into the labs now. Biology, Robotics and Demonology. We are going to push until we are right at Wesker's door. Then you can make sure he doesn't get away with what he has done. It's what those pilots would have wanted..."

Teri grimaced at the thought of the biology lab and the recent deaths of the pilots, and gave a solemn nod, recalling what she gained in the interrogation prior, [color=0E59E4]"Biology...That sounds like what Cortex warned me about. I'll go there with Garm, my magic will be best suited for pushing whatever nasty stuff is there back."[/color]

Following that, the Cleric pulled out another stick of gum and began to chew on half of it, following that with the incantations for Healing Lorecall and Lessor Vigor, giving the trio (and some lucky G Corp Employee) a quick healing boost, as well as a removal of fatigue. Following that, the Cleric willed Sadei into bow form and mounted up on her wolf friend again, before charging into the Biolab. As the two made their way, Garm sent one last message over the rings to Rugal, [color=356D60]"Thank you Alpha. I was worried I lost her for a minute there."[/color]
"Keep her safe, I need to keep this area secure."

Back outside on the dam: David, Ryan, Nadalia, Elise, Angelus, Cadolbolg vs NOD Attack Bikes

Angelus gave a roar of thanks to the Arachnid Champion and the Iron Queen for their efforts; but did not finish the fight just yet. There were still a few bikers shooting back and forth in the sky, and from what she could see, her normal singular fire blasts would not be enough. She needed speed, and she needed precision, which her homing fire would have to suffice as. That or she needed to be clever. Either way, the dragoness decided that, since the Bikers were so eager to come her way, she might as well make the best of it. As one of the Bikers began to hop in midair, Angelus had held a fireball in her maw, and waited for just the precise moment before - THWOOM! The Biker was enveloped with a ball of dragonfire, the flames twisting the metal, flesh, and rubber of the bike and rider into burnt ash. With a resounding "HMPH!", the dragon gave a snort of her nostrils as she quipped, "Which mount of metal wishes to challenge me next? I will burn them all..."

Cadolbolg, on the other hand, had noticed that one of the Bikers began to drive heavily off course and far away from his mother. With a stroke of curiosity and a healthy dose of apprehension, Cadolbolg turned away from the fight between the fire wielders and the spider woman, and tucked his little wings in, diving down towards the bike. That was when he saw that the bike was heading straight towards Faith, who was not only hurt, but holding up barriers as part of the good fight. Feeling anger in his gut, Cadolbolg began to feel a tingling sensation in his mouth, building and building within him the more his outrage grew! Finally, before the bike was able to get close to Faith's barrier, the tiny turtle-dragon let out a charged ball of lightning from his mouth, knocking the little guy backwards in the air[footnote](a la this gif [https://31.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lh459uP18f1qgq4hio1_r1_500.gif])[/footnote] and striking the bike. With the surge of electricity, the driver lost control of the bike and spun out of control, falling off of the side of the dam and turning into a pyroclistic blowout in it's stead.
As for the turtle-dragon? He gave a little wave to Faith in midair, uncertain about what he just did.
Code:
Similar to his Charge Fireball, Cadolbolg has, accidentally, made a Charge lightning ball!
Inside Black Mesa - Inuart

Pushing past the Guards, Inuart settled into his means of escape, and covered his face with his hands. First he was assassinated by Furiae and some entourage of hers, now they had captured his friends (and were ready to capture another), and here he was running from the battle. Even if it was a tactical retreat, everything in his being screamed this was wrong. He should be fighting with his comrades, not being some errand boy... The bard rubbed his temples with a groan, and muttered to himself, "....When I get to Bison, I will train and I will train hard. They will regret everything they have done. I will be certain of that."

Back Outside on the Dam:
Selena, Ryan, Nadalia, Elise, Faith, Angelus, Cadolbolg Vs NOD Attack Bikes


Selena saw the bike roaring towards the Inured Gardevoir, she felt anger welling up inside her. She aimed her wand, when a raging Metallic turtle creature launched a thunderous ball of energy
She flew down and readied her wand.
"I call upon the power of Ice and Snow, Glaciers, Harsh winds, BLOW!" She announced and a glacier like shield surrounded her and the Gardevoir, She then took out a few bottles of salve, and potions for recovery and healing.
"I'm not exactly a healer, But I can help you with whatever I got, as long as you trust me." She came closer holding her wand it was etched with ancient runes.
"Hold still and I can use another ice spell to numb the pain."

Merlin OST: Fate/Stay Night, Kishi Ou no Hokori [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OixZKhcq1fQ]
With the surrender of the Dark Scientist, Merlin crushed the small ball of light with a satisfied smirk. With the particles of light floating back towards the surface, Merlin nodded. This was not only a victory in power, but one in intelligence. Refusing to show his giggle, but mentally Merlin was in a riot, it seemed that a simple light orb made a man surrender. Basically, Zero surrendered to a simple torch. With the defeat of the Dark Angels, the Camelot Knights killed each and every one. It seemed that their swords completely destroyed their bodies, but, after all, these spirits of a legendary kingdom, one guided by light.

The three knights seemed on edge, not only because of their surroundings, but the two white knights looked at the only one dressed in black. "Lancelot." Sir Bedivere said with edge. "Betraying bastard." Sir Gawain said with a harsh tone to match a North Pole winter. The dark armoured Lancelot ignored both. "Still sour, I see, heh." The Dark Knight said and started planted his sword into the ground. Immediately the three started fist-fighting in the background. The metallic clanks making Merlin's eyes twitch as he addressed the summoned Camelot knights.

"Ignoring those ... Fools. I like to thank you for your service." Merlin gave with a bow, and as a swift wind passed, those spirits were gone, after all, while they were holy spirits, they were only weak unlike the three brawling in the background. Speaking of brawling, not only was there the echo of metallic punches, but the softer sound of flesh pounding on flesh came from where Zero was. Of course, Wanderer was busy kicking a downed Zero while The President smoked a cigar behind. "You fucker! NO ... ONE ... STEALS ... MY WEAPONS!" He said with a raging fire, each word came with a kick.

"I'd call this a success." The President said with a shrug. "Now, it would be great if you could tell why you're doing this and why ... Uh ... Whathisface wants this?" The President said, only to be interrupted by a normal Wanderer. "Bison, his name is Bison." He responded, and the President simply shook his head. "What a fucking stupid name." Yet suddenly, the beaten Zero seemed be bind by a rope made up of light. "It would be grand if you don't kill him." Merlin called from behind, only sighing as he took a single gaze upon the still brawling knights. "Ugh, how annoying ... Anyway, let us get out of here." Merlin said, and while most prepared to leave the room, that was not Merlin's plan.

Suddenly, a large magical cirlce covered the floor, and it began to rise with great speed, seemingly destroying the whole room and the rest of Zero's property. It raced towards the low ceiling, and as most were on the floor due to the sudden G-force, Merlin raised his hand to the ceiling, and suddenly, there was great light. "And the Lord said ... Let there be light." He said in confidence. If anyone had their eyes closed, it seemed that the floor had been pushed above the surface of the facility.

"Oh my. I knew we have guests here, but not in this way." Merlin said, intrigued by the chaos surrounding them. Even now he could feel several other magus in the areas nearby. "I did ... The Rising Dawn. Finally." Wanderer said as he stepped back up from the floor, admiring what the crew have done so far. "That means G-Corp is here, urg." He said in disgust before touching his earpiece. "Hey its me. Yes, nothing much happened ... No, no ... It wasn't even worse than that time I got into that drugged limo ... uh huh ... Okay. Oh yes, label the Rising Dawn as allies, but beware of G-Corp."

As the Saints Ninjas once again came to their President, the three knights were surprised with their surroundings. "How neat." Sir Gawain said with powerful optimism, his smile facing the chaotic environment. "I sense ... Powerful individuals." Lancelot said as he raised the visor to his helmet. "Well, we may as stay. Don't know about you guys, but I have a day or two to last here." Sir Bedivere responded, concerned, but intrigued about all the technology that loomed on the horizon.

"I have several days, it reminds me of the time I fought for the Grail."
"I have ... Around three cycles. Depending if I use this or not." Sir Gawain said as he flourished his blade.
"I hate you guys. I can't believe this ... " Bedivere pouted.

Even while everyone looked upon the rest of Black Mesa, Merlin made sure his magic kept an eye on Zero.

Seriously?

The fucking nerve. The fucking nerve of that fucking asshat. Who in the hell posts a Twat in the middle of a fucking invasion? Who in the hell posts a Twat in the middle of an invasion with a self destruct sequence being quite inevitable? Who in the hell posts a Twat in the middle of an invasion with a self destruct sequence being quite inevitable and then wait for Katya to show up to infest his ass? As she took cover behind a bunch of machines, she pulled up a new Twat field and started filling it out before posting it.


Smirking to herself she looked at the situation she found herself in. Tight quarters, moving machinery and A LOT OF FUCKING CYBORGS. Considering the fact that Mister Smirk Swords was doing rather well for himself, Katya decided perhaps melee would be the way to go. Drawing on a mass of Nano-Agents, the Dawn's Resident Technologist formed a sword in her hands, though her anime addled mind couldn't help but add a bit of a twist.


"Right." The newly dressed hacker said as she hopped out from behind cover and swung at a Cyborg, cleaving it's arm from its body and sending a spray of oil and blood all over her.

"Fucking... gross." She said as she headed towards the control panel that operated the Cyborg Creation Engine, cleaving her way through the massed enemies.

"Caim... how in the hell do you deal with all this gore?" Katya exclaimed as she got a face full of oil.

Officium istis quis id minime quaererent it
Dolores Selmy

It feels good to be bathed in blood! So good! I like it! I like it! I like it! I feel like my entire body's melting, quivering in a foreign excitement! It's lovely. I feel so alive! No. Please stop. I place one foot in front of the other and spin, I let Blood Scythe cut the air, I let the air blow through my hair, and I let the blood immerse my skin. It was hot and slick, it wasn't coagulating at all. My clothes are completely soaked through.

I swing Blood-Scythe without reason, hitting anything that I feel like. The noise it makes when it cuts through flesh drives me crazy! It sounds like rustling linens, that sweet way when you can hear someone else shifting in the same bed as you. Lovely, lovely lovely! Who... are you?

I am she-who-suffers. Nay, I am suffering herself, personified. The very nature of anguish given beautiful human form.

From behind, a great creature reared its head and moved to engulf me. I let Blood Scythe tick into its translucent flesh. It got stuck. The metal on the scythe began to corrode rapidly.

"Oh, you think you're cheeky don't you?" I laughed, "Let me show you that I'm not so weak! Allow me to show you the power of the Azure!" I let go of Blood-Scythe and raised my left arm. A darkness overtook it, a raging boiling violent hunger that shook my bones and made my knees weak. A mix of ferocity and ecstasy that is called 'power.' I punched the creature. "Return your borrowed soul to the abyss! Distortion Drive: Devoured by Darkness!"

My arm grew to that of a beast's and around me thousands of strings appeared. They leaped forward, each thread becoming a blade in its own, tearing into the creature that loomed over me. All this that live must have souls, be made of cells, and this tore the very basis of that being into shreds.

Soon after the onslaught of pure dark had turned the slime creature into dark shriveled stains.

"Hehe," That felt good.

My heart stopped and I fell to the ground. I couldn't breathe. My ears were ringing. I was deaf and quickly going blind. The men who were originally fleeing me turned to see me collapse. And their demeanor changed. Suddenly they craved vengeance, payback. I was suddenly weak. What happened...

Code:
Traheo Exhausted. Deactivating nonessential functions to preserve unit functionality. Rebooting personality core.
What are you talking about... I'm a person. You can't just... reboot me. My heart. My eyes. They are essential. Damn it.

Code:
Nonessential functions have shut down. Personality override commencing.
My skin, its turning red. Not blood. Rot. I'm rotting. My body is decaying. What... why...

Code:
Who am I?
...

My name is Dolores Selmy. Who else could I be? I am she who suffers.

When I woke up Molli was standing over me, her hand on my brow. Azan was nearby, his helmet off and face carrying a strange worry. What happened? I can't seem to remember anything past deployment.

"The operation's over Dolly," Molli said softly. I closed my eyes. The soft hum of machines reminded me where I was. This was the Rising Dawn's medical facility. "Azan brought you back. You collapsed after overexerting yourself." Molli put her head on mine. My arms were bandaged fully. Covered with a clean white cloth. No way that exhaustion covered me with this much damage. "I was so worried when he brought you in. They said your heart stopped."

"I'm sorry for making you worry," I said. I don't really feel sorry. I can't even remember what I did.

"Take a good long rest." Azan said softly, "our next mission is soon, but you should be able to participate if everything goes well."

Zero was grumbling in pain from his bruised kidneys after Wanderer was finished kicking him while his was down.
"ACK-....I surrendered, alright? Ohhhhh....Hmmm..." he growled loudly before he found himself being tied up in one of Merlin's magics while the President asked about a Bison.
"...Bison?...Who the hell is Bison?...All of my research was commissioned by the state of Colorado under the "War off our Shores" act signed by Senator Armstrong. You know, the other right winger vying for your office? Whatever results I found from the research I did for him was sent off to a military base in Denver. Whatever happens to it there is unknown by me. If one of my creations was found off the reservation, I assure you, the breach would have occurred there. That's all I know on the subject..." Zero then explained before Merlin brought the group back topside, right in the middle of the action.
"...Tell me, lord Merlin, in all your wisdom, do you really think this is the best place to bring us?...I mean, I could think of a few reasons why this place might be a bad choice..." He said to the Magi, right as an unlucky Ninja ended up getting nailed in the chest by a stray bullet.

However, once Wanderer brought up G-Corp, Zero couldn't help but laugh, stating "Ohhhh, the Devil of the East might finally get his hands on the data vaults of Black Mesa after all. You know, since I was hired, Dr. Birkin would go on for hours checking up on our base's security to ensure that G-Corp couldn't get access to our secrets. I can already imagine one of his agents back down in my office, downloading my life's work even as we speak...But hey, I'm sure he could put them to better use then the US could, isn't that right, Mr. President?..." He gloated to the Commander in Chief, Sure, he could be lying, but would it be worth the risk of allowing Kazuya to access the same Technology that made Krizalid?...

Austin Texas: Icarus
Icarus was in a hurry to Find the Door to His Fathers Vault, he soon found himself outside ST. May's Cathedral, he sighed of course the door would appear in the one place he would never be welcome, He looked up he could almost feel a set of judgmental eyes, he had heard rumors from his father bu he knew this was hallowed ground. He took in a deep breath and took a step forward, he paused and looked around he was on the steps of the church. And yet nothing unusual happened. The gate to the vault was inside he advanced to the huge door.
